NEWMARKF‘T : The York Coun- ty Health Unit announces that an additional chest x-ray service will be held in its offices every eight weeks by the National Sanitarium Assn. The service will be paid for by the Christmas Seal fund. The facilities, Reeve Taylor sta- ted ,will be financed from the issue of bonds. Expenditure of $60,000 has been approved by Ontario Hydro for the village of Richmond Hill to effect extensions and improvements to the electrical distribution system in the village this year, Reeve W. J. Taylor announced this week. This expenditure also includes the purchase of Ontario Hydro ru- ral lines and equipment in the area annexed by Richmond Hill. The addition of the new‘distribu- tion facilities for the local system is in keeping with the Richmond Hill Hydro’s policy of giving the best possible service to its cus- tomers. Extend & Improve Hydro For Vi||age Markham Township will be rep- resented by Deputy-Reeve A. Le- Reeve Timbers felt the matter should be given further study be- fore a final decision is made. Coun- cillor A. Lennie stated the increas- ed grant was due in part to the ne- cessity of paying higher salaries to the staff in order to bring them up to the provincial level. “When we first entered this unit”, stated Mr. Timbers “it was clearly understood we wouldn’t be assessed anything above one mill.” Councillor Hoop- er: “I can’t see where the Unit has any authority to levy on a per capita basis." Deputy-Reeve A. LeMasurier: “The whole thing will prove most unfortunate if the Health Unit has to curtail essen- tial services.” If the 1953 financial plan set forth by the Health Unit finally proves acceptable to the munici- pality the grant would then be based on one mill on the equal- ized assessment plus twenty-five cents per capita. Last year Mark- ham Township was assessed for $4,324. Under the new plan the Township would have to pay out an additional $2,000 in 1953. The Health Unit, which is com- posed of 11 municipalities situat- ed north of Steele’s Avenue, has asked these member municipali- tis for a larger operating grant this year. In 1952 the municipal- ities were each assessed three- quarters of a mill on the equal- ized assessment to pay the cost of operating the Unit. The assess- ‘ment cannot be increased beyond one mill without gaining prior consent from the provincial gov- ernment. At Monday's regular meeting Markham Township Council re- Tirmad its earlier decision to take 10 further action on a request irom the York County Health Un- ‘t for additional funds until such Lime as the municipality has se- cured further information from the provincial Minister of Health and the other municipalities con- cerned.

In the early days of the Edgeley Branch there was little attention given Canadian Industries. Since the formation of standing commit- tees in 1924, there were signs of increasing interest created by ex- planatory papers and some trips to nearby plants. Two such trips were to Robinson’s Converters and Dy- ers of Cotton in Woodbridge and to the packing plant of Holland River just south of Bradford. With the development of new textiles, plastics ,syutlietic rubber, soy bean manufacture. etc.. much can be gained by the W. 1‘ member in The group catered to plough- men's suppers, and to milk pro- ducers’ suppers. More recently they served lunches at farm sales. The first talk on the Federation of Agriculture was given in 1944. en- lightening the members greatly as to current issues taking place as regards to agriculture executive progress. Canadian Industries As to their Agricultural work, at first a Harvest Festival was held and a joint meeting took place of the Farmer‘s Club and the W.I. in the Community Hall. As the work progressed, the Branch linked with the Woodbridge Horticultural Soc- iety in 1924. Valuable papers by the members as well as speakers held a prominent part in many pro- grammes. The meetings Were held the Sec- ond Wednesday of each month and the members agreed to £011051 the Institute ideals and improve em- selves in their home and their com- munity.

The York County Branch of the Ontario Hog Producers’ Associa- tion will hold its annual meeting in the Parish Hall, Newmarket, on Wednesday, February 11. As in- timated in the notice appearing elsewhere in this issue the meet- ing is slated to commence prompt- ly at 10.30 so that the business ses- sion including election of officers, can be taken care of before a most interesting discussion or quizz panel at 11.30. To cover all phases of hog producing and marketing, a panel has been set up, including representatives of commercial feeders, feed manufacturers, the hog marketing scheme and govern- ment services. Reeve Armstrong assured the delegation that council ill strict- ly enforce the building y-law and asked anyone who knows of viola- tions of this by-law to report the incident to the clerk. Ask Culvert Lowered Daniel Cook asked council what is being done about lowering the culvert at the King sideroad, on Yonge Street, which is keeping the ditches in Whitchurch township, east of Yonge street from function~ Asked by Mr. Carlo if King Township had a Planning Board, Reeve Armstrong replied. “Yes, we have. We use the Toronto and York Planning Board By-laws which cover the County of York. This by-law covers in further de- tail the size of joists and construc- tion of walls, roof, chimney, and all other details. A copy of this by- law may be obtained from the township clerk at Nobleton at any time. York Hog Producers “Councils of King, Whitchurch, Vaughan and Markham Townships are meeting in the near future to discuss building restrictions and land-use laws with a View to making them uniform in the four townships,” stated Reeve Elton Arm- strong of King Township to a delegation from Oak Ridges United Ratepayers at council’s meeting Monday night. Tne delegation headed by Jack Carlo, and consisting of Harry Cartner and Daniel Cook, waited on council to discuss the Cressy sub-division and building restrictions in the township. The delegation was given a copy of the township's building by-law which states that a building per- mit must be obtained, the lot must contain 15,000 square feet, and be surveyed before construction is started. It continues that the foundation for the structure must be of concrete and extend into the ground for a depth of four feet, or below the frost line. No dwelling can be less than three rooms. one of these not to be less than 140 square feet, the other rooms not less than 100. The ceiling must be eight feet clear above the floor. Four Townships To Meet Soon To Discuss Uniform Land Use By-Law & Building Restrictions Date N at Definite Juvenile delinquency was much discussed after enlightening lec- tures by two ministers given at different times. Two years ago much interest was taken in supply- ing rhythm band instruments as well as indoor games for scholars. The Institute bought Bibles for school children to aid them in Bib« 1e study. This section of Institute work embraces large scopes. Some close contacts were visits to the school almost every year with both pupils and members contributing program items. Not long ago the township school area was studied more than once until the ladies became well informed. This Branch supported the Adelaide Hoodless Scholarship at MacDonald Institute, Guelph. in 1945, and recently helped sustain a York County Scholarship for girls at the same college. Prizes have been donated to pupils of Edgeley and Concord schools for Institute posters. Since citizenship has been car- ried out in a classified manner in recent years, the problems of the school section and local municipal- ity has been stressed. Since New- foundland belongs to the Dominion, special note and interest in the new province has been aroused. Education Citizenship The recently appointed Inspec- tor of Public Schools, Maynard Hallman, was present at this meeting. This meeting was under the chairmanship of Carl Black and the members of the board are- Albert Farren, vice-chairman; Earl Cook, Frank Beatty and John Fawcett. Harry Burns was appointed sec- retary for the board and the chair- man spoke favourably of the work on negotiations already done by Mr. Burns. The building, which is to cost $110,409., will be erected by the C. A. Smith Contracting Co. of Toronto and the Board will pay 11/2% premium for winter con- struction. Final approval of {He project by the Municipal Board is almost a certainty because the project has already received the blessing of the Ontario Department of Education. Reeve Armstrong assured them that their problems were the town- ship’s problems and that council was glad'to have the school board discuss their troubles with coun- cil. “In this way together a sol- ution might be found," he added. When, at a recent meeting, the trustees put their signatures to a building contract, the school of the newly formed King Twp. School Area No. 1 was one step nearer to being a reality. Build School For Sch. Area 1 King Richard Bull and Jack Blyth, re- presenting Oak Ridges School, presented a brief to council deal- ing with the same building prob- lems from the school board’s view- point. They are anxious that steps be taken at once to provide the township with a land-use by-law and restrictions on buildings that will enforce the building of houses that will provide enough assess- ment to cover at least some of the cost of educating the children that such homes will produce. Mr. Bull stated that estimated cost per child is $140, they are faced with providing accommodation for 60 more children next September. They are using a basement room now and further accommodation will have to be built. ing adeqdately, because it is 14 inches higher than said ditches. The Reeve replied that the matter was being investigated now. as to whether it was responsibility of King Township. or the Depart- ment of Highways. Either of these departments will take care of the culvert when the answer is re- ceived. School Board Delegations FEATURE 5aaa9e‘4 M , BENCH TAILORED M 0 Wm Nash Clethes .

He had never given any thought to becoming a printer until his skat- ing companion told him of an opening for an apprentice printer on the Mail and Empire. Composing room superintendent Sy Statham presented Bert with a picture painted by Frank Drake, night staff printer, and a set of pipes and a lighter “from the boys” at at gathering in The Telegram composing room last Friday night. Opening 0n Mail And Empire Failing vision, which has made it necessary for the night foreman to use a magnifying glass, has finally forced him to retire. Printer Retires After 48 Years With Tely-Plans Trip To Florida Bert, as he is known to all his associates, likes plenty of fresh air. “I plan to do a lot of skating. swimming and golfing now that I have time on my hands." But all the fresh air in the world will never erase the smell of printer's ink. “It's the best smell in the world," he maintains, pointing out that “if my eyes weren’t going on me I’d stick around for another 48 years.” Last weekend Bert Spanton of vLangstaff now 71, will go skating again, weather permitting. after winding up 48 years’ service as a printer with The Telegram. “And I won’t have to worry about being too tired afterward to come into work," said the white- haired composing room night fore- man as he prepared for his official retirement Friday night. Robert J. Spanton was 18 years old when he braved the bitter cold one day just after the turn of the century to go skating in North Toronto. There he met a friend who offered him a job and as a result became a printer. The W. A. reported 32 members and the quilt committee made 19 and quilted four quilts, bringing a profit of $137.00. Total receipts for the W.A. were $433. Mrs. E. Had- wen reported for the Flower Com- mittee that its receipts for the year amounted to $70. The secretary for the Sunday School reported Sunday School was held on 48 Sundays with an average attendance of 35. The Sun- day School gave $43 to Missions, and had raised $389. during the year. The Baby Ba (1 had 21 members and sent $23.0 to Toronto Centre Presbyterial. Born On City Hall Site Teston United Church Holds Annual Congregation Meet Total receipts for the choir fut-1'3 for the year were $238 and there is in {he organ fund. The Fellowship Group had held 19 meetings during the year and total receipts for the year were $285. They gave $25.00 to Missions. The M. & M. Treasurer reported $289 sent to Missions. At the annual meeting of Teston United Church, held on January 14, the treasurer presented a pic- ture of healthy finances for the church for the year 1952. The total receipts for the year am- ounted to $2,428. and the money raised by all organizations totalled $3,089. During the meeting, the follow- ing reports were given by the var- ious committees. THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs., February 5, 1953 Twenty dollars was sent to The Mr. and Mrs, Spanton are plan« ning to leave soon on n trlp to Florida where Mr. Spanton can soak in all that fresh air and sun- shine he‘llkes so well. A word of advice for any young fellow who wants to be a printer. “Go to it. It’s the best job in the world. I wouldn‘t trade it for any- thing else." Bert joined The Telegram in the days of its founder John Ross Robertson. He has seen it operat- ed by trustees and two succeeding publishers. The young printer today who grumbles about being’ worked too hard, according to Bert, doesn’t realize how easy he has it. “Every~ thing seems to be done by ma- chine today. Those ads they set by machine now are easy to handle in comparison to the major ads which we had to make up by hand way back when,” he recalled. When he took charge of the night staff only a few columns of type were set each night. Today his men set between 20 and 40 columns. Coming to the Evening Tele- gram in 1904 as a journeyman printer, Bert Spanton rose through the composing room to chief copy reader and then to night foreman 30 years ago. During His ‘term with the news- paper he yag seen many changes. “When I first came here there was only a day shift"and the total of employees for all departments was 35. Now I have that many on my night staff alone in the composing room," he said. “Go To It." There he spent five years at his apprenticeship. leaving only once when he joined the army to see action in the Boer War. He got as far as Halifax when the war ended.
