Briefly, today’s scheme proposes 'to replace by man what has been taken from nature by man, to aid ‘nature to regain that balance which man has destroyed. The new test containing 160 questions on the English language and Canadian citizenship is the re- sult of agreement recently reached between Ontario and the federal government on regularizing citi- zenship training throughout the country. Each province may now set its own examination based on a country-wide standardized English and citizenship course. Langstafl Lake, Maple Forest Envisaged In Don Conservation All those things aren’t liable to come into being immediately, even the strongest proponents of con- servation admit. The program is an ambitious one. It’s so big that it is likely to take years in its ful- fillment â€"â€" to call for the expendiâ€" ture of a fair amount of money. It will need public support â€" a broad education in the principles and worthwhileness of conserva- tion. ' What Is The Plan? What, actually, is meant by Don Valley Conservation? Briefly, the preServation of natural resources in the Don Valley, halting of the drying up and erosion of the land in the watershed, retention of na- tural beauties and values. The scheme takes in the complete area drained by the Don and its trib- utaries from north of Richmond Hill to Lake Ontario. There was a day when two main branches of the Don and its many tributaries pro- vided a watershed of no mean vol- ume. But, as man has laid his hands on the country, has replaced its trees and sods with houses, streets and sidewalks the stream has, like so many others in this part of the country, gradually dwindled. And with that dwind- ling has come the, inevitable evils of floods and droughts, of the dis- sipation of natural resources and productivity. A new citizenship test set by the Community Programmes Branch of the Ontario Department of Educa- tion will soon enable newcomers in Ontario to gain provincial cer- tificates of proficiency showing their knowledge of the English language and aCnadian citizenship. The certificate may be accepted by the courts in petitions for naturali- zation. Some 5,000 newcomers in Ontar- io are expected to try the test early this April. going ‘! But, if the ambitious plans proposed in the recent report made by Hon. William Griesinger, On- tario Minister of Planning and De- velopment to the Don Valley Con- servaton Authority ever came to maturity such conversations could be ordinary, everyday ones. Preservation of the beauty of north of Toronto, salvation of its rapidly dwindling water supply, are main factors of the big scheme. With them are tied up many other benefits. Protection of wild life, increased fertility of the district's farms, the proviSion of play- grounds for the millions who in the near future will call this part of Ontario “\home”, improvement The National Sanitorium Assoc- iation is starting, with the assis- tance of the York County Health Unit, to provide regular chest x- ray clinics to serve six communi- ties in York County. This is an entirely new service in addition to the chest clinic held at York Coun- ty Hospital each month and the chest x-ray facilities provided by the Gage Institflte, College Street, Toronto. New Canadians To Be Given Certificates 0f Proficiency When Language Mastered Acceptance of the certificates by the courts is provided for by an amendment in the Canadian Cit1~ zenship Act. The Community Programmes Branch, the provincial agency in the recreation and adult education fields, is responsible for citizenship training in Ontario. The training“ is normally taken over a three-year period but stude ts, who move ahead in classes at their own speed, can try the test anytime they feel capable. “Oh, I’m going to the forest at Maple." Hear two people talking like that in Toronto or Rich- mond Hill or Thornhill today and one could be forgiven for thinking that they were a. little bit crazy.

Where are you How is it to be done? First of all by bringing trees back to the countryside in at least part Of their one-time abundance. That in- cludes the establishment of 3. “Don Forest” of 2,913 acres in the Map- le area. It includes also the cre- ation of two lakes, one at Lang- steff, the other at Oriole. A’c Lang- staff a 27-foot dam just above the Upllnds golf course would help form a lake 3,500 feet long with an average width of 340 feet, a water surface of 27 acres and a depth of twelve feet. The lake at Oriole would have an area 01' 17 acres. Cost of both of them would be around $250,000. Parks Suggested Four multiple-use parks would be incorporated in the scheme. Two would be developed in connection with the lakes and two others in the Don Forest. They would in- clude ski trails, would have an in- tensive-use centre on the edge of the park and would have trails for riding, nature study and hiking. Dealing'with pollution, the re- port charges that six municipali- ties use the Don as an open sewer and that most of the river “is foul both in appearance and odor.” Sur- veys showed that at times in 1949 the flow of sewage was twice that of the river itself. Establishment of one or more farms as “pilot” locations suitable for contour tillage and other con- servation practices is also suggest- ed. Woodward and his wife Norma were moving household belongings to their new home in Toronto and had with them as passengers Mr. and Mrs. Don Bigford, who were riding in the back of the truck. After the impact the southbound truck turned over on its side on the east side of the highway, im- paling itself on a two-foot stump. China, glass and cutlery which were being carried in the truck were scattered over the highway and police expressed surprise chat the Bigfords were not more ser- iously injured by the debris. “It almost looked as if they were ly- ing on knives,” said one onlooxer. Eight picnic sites, from one to fifteen acres, are suggested for ac- quisition. Three are located in North York, four in Vaughan Township and one in Markham Township. Immediate implementation of the “Green Belt" plan for Toronto is recommended in the report submit- ted by the Minister of Planning and Development. “In this con- tinent and in Europe there has al- ways been the necessity of secur- ing the use of enough land for the use of the public around large ci- ties," the report says. “It is not too late for action on the Don,” it affirms. Pollution Serious Included in the report also is a recommendation that a “village” of typical old buildings such as a church, a. country store, a saw' mill, etc, be set up as a farmers’ museum. every eight weeks. It is necessary to arrange the appointment through one’s family physician as chest x-rays at this clinic will be taken by appointment only. This new local chest clinic is in- tended to assist the local family physician in detecting tuberculos- is infection and in supervising per. sons with cured tuberculosis and their contacts. This new service will try to wipe out tuberculosis in our local communities. The new chest x-ray clinics are made possible through the Christ- mas Seal Fund and the service is free. Four people were injured in a Saturday night crash at the Bond Lake curve on No. 11 Hignway four miles north of Richmond Hill when a panel truck driven by Fred Woodward of Bradford was in col- lision with a car driven by Farley Ritchie of Elmvale. Car, Truck Collision Injures Four People At Bond Lake Curve Woodward, driver of the truck suffered head cuts. Mrs. Wood- ward sustained a broken ankle and Mrs. Eleanor Bigford riding in the body of the .truck, had her ribs fractured. Her husband, Don Big- ford, is believed to have a fractur- ed shoulder. They were taken to Toronto General Hospital. Ritchie, driver of the car with which the woodward truck was in collision, was uninjured. Heavy property damage was caused by both ve- hicles. The accident was investigated by Constable L. Swinghamer of the Ontario Provincial Police. Total assessment for general purposes is shown as $1,658,290,- 693, with Toronto accounting for $1,405,504,489 of that amount. Other figures of immediate lo- cal interest are: Population of York County is now well in excess of a million, the annual directory issued by the Department of Municipal Affairs, Ontario, reveals. The exact figure based on the work of assessors for 1950, is 1,108,876, with Tor- onto accounting for 667,487 of that total. Richmond Hill: Pofiulation 2,- 123: Assessment $1,549,430. Stoufl’ville: Population 1,664: Assessment $891,043. King Township: Population 5,- 889: Assessment $5,227,100. Aurora: Population 3,697: As- sessment $2,120,080. Newmarket: Population 5,036: Assessment $4,107,086. Markham Village: Population 1,562: Assessment $689,333. Markham Township: Population 9,269: Assessment $7,006,369.

Tenders for the construction and gravelling of the Lake Wilcox North Road are to be called for by township clerk John Crawford, Whitchurch Township councillors decided at their last meeting, at which a long discussion regarding roads in the municipality took place. The road to be constructed is about a mile and a half. The Evening Auxiliary W.M.S. met at the theme of Mrs. L. men- by Tuesday evening. The program was in charge of Mrs. D. Smellie and Mrs. H.

Some rather interesting compar- isons are revealed by the figures quoted. Taking Aurora and Rich- mond Hill for instance, the report shows that the population of the former is 71 per cent greater than that of Richmond Hill. Yet the assessment value is only 36 per cent greater â€" a figure somewhat Evening Auxiliary W.M.S. To Call For Tenders On L. Wilcox Road Councillor E. L.

One example of economic development in South America is this hydroelectric project in the Rio de J aneiro area. A loan of $75,000,000 from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a Specialized Agency affiliated with the United Nations, to the Brazilian Traction, Light and Power Company, Ltd., assisted in financing recent expansion of its developing hydroelectric system. Thornhill United Church News Po‘wer Profect in Brazil difficult to understand when Aur- ora’s factories are taken into con- sideration. Another striking difference is shown in Markham and Vaughan townships. With practically sim- ilar population Markham has an assessed valuation of practically 26 per cent greater than its neigh- bour. The difference in this case would appear to be due to the larger number of newer houses on sub-diyiSions such as Highland Park. Whitchurch Township, with half of Markham's population, woula have to have its assessment raised 13 per cent to equal Markham’s figures. The comparatively small amount of sub-division property in Whitchurch would appear to pro- vide the answer, together with the amount of low-value housing in the Lake Wilcox area. walk at Oak Ridges school when he detailed the steps that had been taken in that area to providing a greater safety factor for school children. Councillor P. S. Legge suggested that if such a contribu- tion were made then other sec- tions as Ballantrae would have a right to ask for similar treatâ€" ment. Councillor McCarron said that there was little comparison between the volume of traffic on the two roads. No action was tak- en by council. Stouffville ,and Markham vill- ages present ’another picture of what appears, on the face of it to be an inequality. Stoufi’ville’s figures work out to an assessmem value of $535 for each member of the population whereas Markham, only 102 population less than Stoufl'ville, shows an assessed val- ue per person of $441. Special Services Easter Seals Campaign Is In Operation The familiar Easter Seals, de- noting assistance to crippled child- ren, have been mailed to Richmond Hill residents this week. Sponsored by the Ontario Society for. Crippled Children, and looked after loually by the Lions Club, the campaign will continue to March 25. Indicative of the interest which is being taken by Ontario residents in crippled children is the fact that doctors conducting the various ser- vices are giving their professional skill free of charge. A team of them from the Hosptal for Sick Children examined 56 patients at Guelph and 54 at Orillia. At Pem- broke Civic Hospital 22 were ex- amined. These are only a few of the instances whereby disabled children throughout the province are getting a “break.” THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs., March 15, 1951 7 Operation of three summer camps; a cerebral palsy centre at Woodeden, near London; operation of Variety Village; a vocauonal schdol financed by the Toronto Var- iety Club; maintenance of nurses in fourteen territories are an...ng activities financed by the Easter Seal Campagn. Follow-up treatment, when shown to be necessary, is arranged by the society. Three-yearâ€"old Terry Theil, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thiel, 108 Hall Street, Richmond Hill, was still unconscious on Wednesday afternoon following a Yonge St. accident at 6.30 pm. on Monday in which he received a. severe con- cussion. 3-Year Old Boy In Coma Two Days After Mishap The youngster, whose father thought that he was with his moth- er, and vice versa, ran out into Yonge Street from between parked cars near the Dominion Stores, hesitated, and then ran into the side of a southbound car driven by Stanley B. Romanovich of 24 Wells Street, Aurora. Police said that the driver had no chance to avoid young Terry. First to identify the boy was Dr. W. D. Howe. called to the scene of the accident from his nearby office. He recognized Terry as a playmate of his own child. The youngster was taken to the Sick Children’s Hospital, 'Toi'onté. The glamour of knitting socks for the soldiers is long past. But that does not man that the women who serve Red Cross workrooms across the country are idle. In branch headquarters, church base- merts, clubs rooms, often crowded into the front room of a neighbour, the women work tirelessly. The work varies. It may be clothing for civilian relief, medical supplies for isolated Outpost Hospitals, layettes for new babies, or warm woollen shawls for the old and infirm. But whatever it is, one can find Lnese busy women in almost any city, town, or village across Canada. They do their part, quietly and without fanfare or acclaim. Everybody Can Help You’ll find that they will appreciate a change â€" and the saving of all the work of preparation and cleaning up.
