Residents Say Local School Needed The new Markham-Vaughan School Area Board receivâ€" ed its first big delegation last week when a number of resi- dents of the Mill Road - Yongehurst Road - Walmer Road - Pemberton Crescent district appeared to apply for a school in their area and to deal with transportation of their child- ren to schools which they are presently attending. At the same time Cyril G. Bak- ren from the district under con- er and D. White appeared as Siderafion _Wel‘e going to other A - .. "L and-.. schools beSIde Richvale., At the same time Cyril Ur. baKâ€" er and D. White appeared as members of the sub-planning board of Vaughan Township stat- ing that they were urging the ex- tension of a north-south road, as selected in 1949, taking in lots 67 and 20 on Edgar; lots 258 and 219 on Oak; lots 194 and 152 on Spruce and lots 125 and 126 on Carrville. Such a road, Mr. Baker stated, would do much to remove the ha- zards attendant upon school pup- ils having to use Yonge Street. He agreed that it was advisable to go ahead with a school on 'the Scott sub-division but suggested that this be only a three or four- room building and’that provision for a school in the Yongehurst- Mill Road area be made. A bus, said Mr. Baker would be the an- swer to a temporary problem but, said he, “theirs is not a tempor- ary one." Expect Increase Earl Lambert, spokesman for the delegation, said that a local sur- ‘vey which had been made indi- cated that at least 57 children from the area were going to Rich vale School. A survey indicated that at least fifteen a year would be added from the Yongehurstâ€" Mill Road district. Those figures, he stdted, were most conservative, as only a. partial survey had been made, and they did not take into consideration new people moving to the area. Steel schools entered into the discussion, with Mr. Baker sug- gesting that if one were put into the Yongehurst area. it could be sold after some years of use at a price which would [still be econ- omical. He also said that child- An hour of questions answered by Mr. Eilbeck, Field Service rep- resentative of the Community Programmes Branch of the De-‘ partment of Education, revealed the keen interest of residents in the provision of recreational fac- ilities, when he spoke to them in Langstaff School on Tuesday ev- ening. He stressed using to the full those facilities that already existed and not competing with groups already providing recrea- tion but recommended that per- sons of all ages who were not al- ready included in present set-ups be given first considerations when projects were planned. Recreational Program Is Described To‘ Residents Of Langstaff District Mr Eil‘beck outlined the help, including the grants, which his department? gives to Recreational MrsJ.A.Greene Dies Suddenly AtViIIage Home Almost six weeks to the day after the death of her husband, the late Reeve J. A. Greene of Richmond Hill, Mrs. Greene joined him in death. Her demise came suddenly on the afternoon of Tuesday, Febru- ary 27, when she succumbed to a heart attack at her Richmond Hill home. Mrs. Greene, who was, in her 67th year, was formerly Lillian Stonge. She was born at Lang- staff and was of United Empire Loyalist descent. Surviving her are her daughter, Mrs. May Keyser; her daughter- in-law, Mrs. Fred Greene and six grand-children; a. brother, Louis B. Stonge of Centreton, Ont. Her son Fred was killed in action In Italy during the last war while serving with United States forces. Mrs. Greene married the late Reeve in November 1913, and had made her home in Richmond Hill for thirty-six years. Requiem Mass will be sung at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Fri- day morning at 10 am. with in- terment in St. Luke’s cemetery, Thornhill. Councillor E. L. McCarron in- troduced the motion to make the change to .the early election date, and the clerk was instructed to prepare the necessary by-law. Whitchurch Voting To Be In December " Instead Of January ’Dhe annual nomination meeting and election in Whitchurch Town- ship this year will be held the last week in November and the first‘ week in December, instead of late in December and on January 1 which many councils’ claim, con- flicts wibh the Yuletide holidays. “The small school belonged to thirty or forty years ago,” Trus- tee Jackson Taylor pointed out. He said that it served its purpose when there were only a limited number of vocations into which pupils might go after leaving school. Now, he said, with that number increased by many thous- ands much broader education than the small school could give was needed. ' Many Problems, Says Chairman The board had only recently ta- ken over, Chairman S. Griffiths pointed out, and already had many problems forced on it by the growing district. He asserted that it was necessary for trustees to study the situation thoroughly to avoid the error of having schools dotted all over the area without adequate balance between existing needs and potential de- velopment. Action, he promised the delegation, would be taken as ‘quickly as was sound. Safety of children on their way to and from school came in for ‘considerable discussion. A bus to pick up children from the Yonge- hurst area had been arranged for by Trustee Nathan Hicks. That bus, it was stated, would only pick up children on the side of Yonge Street to which they would come first normally, in order to make it unnecessary for' them to cross .the road. Negotiations in connection with the new school on the Scott sub- division ‘were proceeding normal- ly, it was reported, with the ex~ pectation being that concrete plans would be made in a short time. Commissions, such as that recent- ly formed by Vaughan Township, and of which Langstafl" is a‘part. He made it clear that there was no question of compuISion in any way, that his department acted only when requested, but at the same time was most anxious to co-operate. Mr. Eilbeck pointed out numer- ous activities which have been in- cluded in programmes already in- stituted in many parté of Ontario with the help of recreational dir- ectors and instructors. To prove what can be done, he presented a coloured film which showed how one American town becama com- munity-conscious of its recreation- al needs and how it set about pro- viding happy and healthful occu- pation for all age groups.
