Thornhill "New Canadian’s” Letter Gives Practical Example Of High School Training The class for New Canadians in English and CitiZenshirp at the Richmond Hill High School has increased to some forty members. It has been found necessary to di- vide it into two units, one for be- ginners and one for those with some background in English. Mrs. J. R. Cross, 3 teacher with ex- perience in this work, has taken over the second division. The type of immigrant, and his sincere desire to become com- pletely Canadian, is well illustrat- ed by the following letter, writ- ten as an exercise in the advanced class and is printed without cor- rections. The writer, Mr. Will- ems, has been in Canada one year and a. half; he had some High School English in Holland and joined the class to improve his knowledge of the written language. Here is his letter: Elgin Mills, November 18, 1949 Dear Madam: Most of the immigrants you’ll] meet here in Canada are farmers; although you’ll find several others who were not farming in the old country but were connected with farming and can see the possibil- ity of farming in this great country. Referring to what you told us about writing each other a letter and using all four different kinds of sentences, I will do so and tell you something about the Dutch immigrants. Naturally you'll say: “Why do the Dutch farmers come to Can- ada?” The answer will be The Netherlands are over-populated. A great deal of very good farm- land has been ruined by the war. There is no possibility for ac- quiring land for their own and their big fiamilies. Therefore these farmers are looking for a place where they can live with their familly and use their tal- ents and skill for which they are well-known all over the world. They have several good quali- fications and have a thorough ex- perience in mixed farming; dairy- farming; market - gardening; fruitâ€"growing and very well knewn for growmg bulbs and flowers. The second reason is the fact that almost all of the elderly im- migrants employed one or more men in the old country and have now to be an employee them- selves. I know by experience that it’s hard obeying when the employer says: “Go and clean out the pig-pens and horse-stables and as soon as you’re ready do this and do that-” Why not TREAT the Missus Let Her MISS the Dishes Have Dinner At Many people have a hard tlme‘ when they come out. There are two reasons for that. The first and main one is the fact that most of them cannot or not suffic- iently speak and write the Eng- lish language and it’s therefor; that we all are very thankfull to the Ontario Department of Edu- cation and especially to the tea- chers who learn us their language and in many cases more than that. ‘l Final plans will be submitted to a. ratepayers meeting for approval as soon as they are completed. In the meantime, a. complete report is being prepared which will be presented at the annual meeting in December. Jefferson Trustees Make Announcement About New Building After consulting with our Build- ing Plan Committee and several contractors, a revised plan was prepared. The preparation of a detailed plan and specifications was undertaken early in September by a construction company. In spite of constant urging the information is not yet available. we came because we knew that we could do everything that any- body would ask us to do. We have the will to succeed and we will succeed, just as well as our an- cestors who came hgre years ago and are nowadays well-known The long delay in calling a rate- payers’ meeting is very much re- gretted. Immediately after the board was authorized to purchase a new‘ site the following action was taken: Bettles Dining Room A recommendation to proceed with a new building programme was submitted to the Department of Education by our School In- spector. As soon as the Depart- ment’s approval was obtained, the Board visited a, considerable num- ber of schools and prepared a ten- tative plan. We knew all this when we were still in the old country and vet The school board of S. S. No. 4 Markham and No. 21 Vaughan would like to make the following statement on the new school sit- nation.

Tomlin when members of the Richmond Hill village council discussed the pro: posed establishment of a health unit, and unanimously approved of the arrangement. Entering into the new set-up are the towns of Aurora and New- market, the villages of Richmond Hill, Woodbridge, Markham, Stouf'fville and Sutton and the townships of Georgina and North Gwillimbury. ' Cost of the new unit, which has been under discussion for many months, will be borne by the mun- icipalities on a proportionate bas- is established on the equalized as- sessment. It is anticipated that this will cost the village of Rich- mond Hill about $200. more per year than the present arrange- ment but, as almost every coun- cillor stated, a superior and more *3391, YDNGE ST.
