NUMBER 50 Whicipal Board Requests Public Meeting On Sewers The village of Richmond Hill has one more river to cross â€"â€" and it isn’t the river of Jordan â€"â€" before it can finally go ahead with the sewage system for the municipal- Following a conference in the Toronto Parliament Buildings cith the Ontario Municipal 302er last Friday, it Was decided that a pub- lic hearing on the project will be ity. held in the Masonic Building in Richmond Hill on Friday after- noon, June 22, at 4 p.m. Specific reason for the hearing is a bounce in the cost of the project from $300,000 to a possible $350,- 000. The latter amount is not an arbitrary figure but was suggested as a tentative one to meet all con- tingencies. On December 4, 1950, ratepayers of the village voted by an uter- whelming majority to instal a sew- age system at a cost of approxi- mately $300,000 and tentative ap- proval was given the plan by she Municip‘al Board. Contracts for conétructiofof-th’e system have been let to the Mar- ino Construction Co of Toronto and work will start just as soon is the Municipal Board gives its approval. Members of the council went to Toronto on Friday for the hearing before the board. In the party were Reeve Neal, Clerk Russell Lynett and Councillors Ken Tom- [in and Floyd Perkins. It is not anticipated there will be any,serious opposition to the project when' the hearing is held ricxt'Fi‘iday‘. Higher cost can be ascribed to the general rise in pro- duction expense since the time the 'vote was taken. Langstafl’ Ratepayers Associaâ€" tion at their regular meeting on Monday night passed a resolution asking the Bell Telephone Co. to investigate the possibility of a cheaper service to Toronto or a step-up in the time for the mini- mum toll charge from three to five minutes. It was pointed out that free toll service to Toronto would 'be preferable to the present free service to Richmond Hill and Ma- ple inasmuch as so many former Toronto residents have moved to the village. Langstaff Seeking Lower Phone Tolls Mr. Haines and Mr. Vernon of the phone company were present at the meeting to explain the changeover to dial service that is planned for the Thornhill exchange. Jackson Taylor was present on behalf of the board of School Area No. 1 of Vaughan and Markham Townships and announced that bus service will again be available this year to the youngsters to Thorn- hill swimming pool. Last year this servce plus free swimming lessons proved invaluable to the smaller fry. Mel Roy presided at the meet- ing. Richmond Hill “Achievement” seems the word‘ best descriptive of the past year’s work as revealed by the District Conveners in their summary of the reports submitted to them by the Branch Conveners at the Annual Meeting of York East District Wo- men’s Institute held in Washington Church, at Scarborough on June 6, 1951.

Miss Helen Atkinson, District Secretary-Treasurer, read the min- utes of the previous annual meeting at which the 5'0t'h Anniversary had been celebrated, and summarized the three district meetings held: during the year.

Stapley, 76, of Ruggles Ave., Rich- mond Hill, and Miss Marjorie San- diland of 28 Vesta Drive, ‘Forest Hill. ‘ Shortly before 8 am. Mrs. Stap- ley called relatives and told them her husband had not come home. They relayed the message to Pro- vincial Police‘that he had left to escort Miss Sandiland to the bus stop at 10 am. A family friend for 20 years, Miss Sandiland, had spent a fare- well visit at the Stapley home be- fore leaving for 3 Murray Bay summer home. Provincial Constable Lou Swmg- hammer said the two were struck by a southbound car driven by Ar- thur McDonald, 33, of Parry Sound manager of a Hamilton furnace company. No charges were laid. Stapley was tossed to one side but Miss Sandiland’s body was carried 90 feet on the bumper of the car. Housekeeper at the home of Mrs. Archie Campbell, Vesta Drive, For- est Hill, Miss Sandilands, is a. na- tive of Dundee, Scotland. Her only relative in Canada is a brother at Hamilton. Mr. Stapley retired from the TTC six years ago after 36 years’ service. The family moved to Richmond Hill last March from Willowdale, where they had lived for 28 years.

The subject of Art Appreciation and all that it entails has been un- der discussion for many months by the Board. The Board requested the School Inspector, Mr. Charles Howitt, to invite Mr. Gaitskiu of‘ the Department of Education, and the Board invited the school prin- cipals, Messrs. Dunning, Learn, Martindale and D. Smith, to attend the regular Board meeting so that the Board could come to a decision. Mr. Gaitskill is recognized as one I of the foremost men on. Art Appre- ciation on the continent am: he very ably presented {his subject. The purpose of Art Appreciation is to allow the children to exPress their feelings on the various sub- jects taught in the schools and their experience in their play, and to allow them to demonstrate their knowledge. As the child usually lacks the words to express himself fully Art Appreciation will be a method of giving to the chud a. practical way of broadening his or her fieWS on'many subjects; For Grades 1, 2, and 3, this new course will be a great (help, as art influences their studies consider- ably. In Grades 6, 7, and 8, new techniques and‘methods will prove very interesting to the pupils. Art Appreciation is not new. In Britain it has been in use about 15 years, in the United States aboth 10 years and in Ontario about six years.

Patchell, Wilcox Lake, the following resolution was passed unanimously: This school board refuses to take 1 any responsibility for the delay, in building a. school in this section, placing the blame entirely on the shoulders of the arbitration board. All papers for the expropriation of the Green property were signed three months ago and as yet no re- sults obtained.
