It will in- clude lifeguards and supervisors. Charles Howitt, one of the public school inspectors for York County spoke to the Club on Education. He asked the Club to focus some of its attention in the district, and if pos- sible, set up an educational committee attention in the district, and if p05- sible, set up an educational committee to assist the local school board in stimulating the interest of the gen- eral public. , The committee, set up by the Township several weeks ago, already has been pledged $30,000 by Gordon Leitch of Leitcheroft Farms. The rest of the money will come from' a Provincial Government grant_ and further donations from public spirit- ed residents of the community. Plans of the p00] already are being prepared, but before contracts are ,et, a meeting of the Village Trus- tees and ratepayers will be held to ratify the location in the Park. ,,_C.‘\,,V...y...

Village 'l‘rustet‘s Appear at Meeting 0! Toronto and York Planning Board At a metting of Toronto and York Planning; Board held in the City Hall Toronto, on Tuesday evening, the village trustees, Mr. Nuttail, Mr. Anâ€" stey and Mr. Saunders Findlay were present. along with Mr. B. Weldrick and heard a representative of the s) ndicate planning" construction of a race track on Yonge St., outline plans for same. Mr. Weldrick, asked to speak by Mr. T. Lemay, questioned the pres- ence of the Village trustees and said that only 3:: ratepayers attended the meeting of the village trustees out of a possrole 800 in Thornhill, even though the meeting was mentioned in the Liberal and from the pulpits of at least two local churches, “and these" he said, “would not have been there if they hagl had any other place to go". He went on to say that he saw no reason why two or three people should oppose the racetrack (the 3‘}. ratepayers above were an. animous'}; in opposition.) Apparently, according to plans, the entrance to the racetrack would be on Yonge St. at the brow of the hill which would definitely be a tl'atfic hazard. One child was fatally in- jured at that spot last year. A pos- sible attendance, comparable to tracks in the U.S.A. would be up to 30,000. Fuithermore, township planned roads running north and south (3 shown on planning sketch) will be broken.
