Past Interna- In addition to this work which goes on from day to day, the Lions have undertaken many big pro- jects â€" their carnical, bingos and entertainments, in addition to the important things such as a Com- munity Hall which stands as a trib- ute to the club, Red Cross work, Flood Relief and their many con- tributions during the war years. Richmond Hill Lions have, in keeping with the tradition of Lions Clubs the world over, kept up a continual programme of we]- fare, relief and social work right from the time of their inception and theirs is the thanks of those adults and children who have re- ceived glasses, medical attention and drugs. ThisrThursday evening the Rich- mond Hill Lions Club is celebrat- ing its 15th anniversary; 15 years of uninterrupted service to our community. It was early in 1938 that the Richmond Hill Lions un- der the sponsorship of the New- market Club began their com- munity work, work that is beyond the value of dollars and cents.

VOLUME LXXIV. NUMBER 38 Treasurer Len Clement re- ports a wonderful' response to the local Easter Seal campaign for Crippled Children. This campaign is under the joint sponsorship of the Richmond Hill Lions Club and the On- tarlo Society for Crippled Children. Receipts for those who have donated are com- pleted and will be mailed out just as soon as the special envelopes are received from Toronto. The fire, which started in the hay stack, was noticed ab- out 11 pm. by John Bawn a neighbour, who sent in the plarm to Aurora Fire Brigade. Fire broke out last Saturday night in the barn of Steve Ihahz. 4th concession of King Township, when five loads of hay were burned as well as part of the barn: The relief of suffering is a constant need in the world, and our people are to be con- gratulated on their fine res- ponse to this pressing cause. Crippled Children Easter Seal Campaign The actual raising of funds took several forms and varied from the rafillng of a $100.00 bond by the Lions to the hold- ing of silver collections. The Tag Day which saw most of the village organiza- tions and numerous individ- uals participate collected don- ations amounting to $313.00. Final figures were released this week showing the part played by this community in the recent appeal for funds to assist in the rehabilitation of European Flood victims. The citizens of Richmond Hill have contributed a total of $2,002.00 to this worthy cause. This final tab‘ulation is the sum total of the efforts of the two service clubs the Lions and the Rotary, welfare and fraternal organizations, the four churches, the United, the Presbyterian, the Anglican and the Roman Catholic, and the Tag Day which was a joint effort held on Saturday, Feb- ruary 21, and over the coun- ter donations at the two local banks. $2,002.

Guest Speaker The club was fortunate in hav- ing as its guest speaker for the evening, Miss Chalk, District Lion Reg.

In order to raise money for this treatment and for similar cases the Lions Club is joining the Ontario Society for Crippled Children in sending out Easter Seals. It is hoped the public will respond to this worthy appeal. The March 12 meeting of Maple Lions Club was held at the Mas- onic Hall with the club’s current project of providing treatment for 10 year old Tjamke van Huis, one of the main topics of discussion. Tjamke suffered severe burns while in her native Holland, where she spent nine months in the hos- pital recovering from her injuries. Her left arm and side are badly scarred, the object of the treat- ment, financed by the Lions, to graft skin to the afflicted parts. _ Tjamke Van Huis is pictured above with Reg. Rouse, a director of Maple Lions Club, and John Neufeld, president 01 the Club, which is sponsoring treatment for the 10 year old Dutch girl who suffered severe burns while in her native land. Indications are that Vaughan township will be requested to han- dle the $12,000 debenture issue covering the cost of the land. The 6-acre school site is located in Vaughan township. The question then arises as to what municipal- ity, either Vaughan or Richmond Hill village will handle the deben- ture issue covering the actual con- struction of the school. Type of School The meeting saw another rather exhausting discussion on the im- portant question of what type of school should be built. Trustee S. Tinker displayed a great interest The Municipal Board and the Department of Education are in disagreement as to the procedure that should be followed in issuing th enecessary debentures to cover the cost of the school site. The Municipal Board insists that the Board call a public meeting and possibly a vote of the ratepayers concerned, before they will sanc- tion the issuing of debentures. The Department of Education contends there is no provision in the School Act for the holding of such a hear- ing. The Board's Solicitor J. D. Lucas is attempting to have the matter clarified. Trustee B. Bar- ber was delegated to confer with Mr. Lucas regarding the proper procedure for the holding of a public hearing and a vote of the ratepayers The construction of the new Richmond Hill Pubilc School has taken a step closer to becoming a reality with the announcement by Chairman J. Pollard that an offer to purchase has been signed, and $1,000 down payment made on the 6-acre piece of land on which the new school will be built. Total cost of the school site which is lo- cated at the northern limits of the village and in Vaughan township will amount to $12,000. The Vau- ghan township Planning Board has already placed its _.stamp of ap- proval on the site. These announ- cements were made at the March meeting of the Board held last Thursday.

The Board in an economy move several months ago (Continued on page 7) As no decision was reached Chairman Pollard announced that a special meeting will be held this week at which the whole problem of school construction will be dis- cussed. Transportation The trustees are not in complete agreement with Architect Parkins latest plans for constructing a new type but cheaper building. Trustee Wilson registered disapproval with Mr. Parkins idea of only making limited use of daylight in the classrooms. He favoured a build- ing of a conventional type of con- struction. Mr Tinker â€" “You spend $15,000 a room plus architects’ fees and other incidentals and you are go- ing to have a school costing around $200,000.” The plans presented by Mr. Tin- ker were of a school being erected in Sudbury. Mr .Tinker's proposal for the construction of a cheaper preâ€"fabricated type of building re- ceived little support from his fell- ow trustees. The general consen- sus of opinion was that this type of building would involve high maintenance costs, and have a short life span. Trustee Wilson â€" “With that type of frame building you’d have to paint it every two years. In 10 years you’d spend the difference in paint.” In reply Mr. Tinker main- tained the building would only re- quire paint every five years. Mr. Wilson â€" "Let us spend an extra $50,000 and eliminate what I contend would be a high rate of maintenance." Twelve applications? 'wrerev received and applicants were mggwigwgq at the meeting. No decision was reached at the time and council will con- sider the matter before making the appointment. Vaughan Township Council met last Tuesday evening to consider applications for the position of building inspector. in school costs and construction, tabled complete plans from W. Heaton, Agincourt builder, on the construction of a 10-room pre-fab- ricated school at a total cost of $98,000 complete with heating._Mr. Heaton has built a large number of these schools throughout the province.

About 4.30 pm a call was received to extinguish a fire which started underneath the platform of the old T.T.C. Radial Station. While the brigade was attending this call a small waste box fire was reported at Maltby's Garage and within minutes, the fire- men attended to an overheated car in front of Harry Stan- ford's home. In half an hour everything had been cleared up and no serious damage resulted from any of the fires.

Whitchurch Council will call a meeting for next Monday night 'of all school boards in Whitchurch Township to discuss the problem as it affects the different boards. A strong feeling is growing and was advanced on Tuesday night that the only solution is a town- ship school area. The population of the townships is increasing so rapidly that overcrowding is no longer a problem that can be dealt with by individual school boards. For instance a few years ago it was thought that the school at Vivian in Whitchurch Township could be closed as the school popu- lation was less than ten children. Now they need an addition of at least two rooms. Powell Ro A lively discussion took place. The idea was put forth that the amount suggested was too high, “ a seven roomed school can be built for $75,000" said Councillor McCarron. Whitchurch Council would like to build a school in Whitchurch to take care of the overcrowding in the several town- ship schools, S. S. No 1, 2, 6, 7, and 13. Two schools are using basement rooms and S. S. 13 has rented the old Jefierson School this year and sent two classes by bus to that building. Special Meeting United Oak Ridges Ratepayers Association at their regular meet- ing on Tuesday night drew a full house. The subject announced for discussion was the proposed addition of five rooms to the present brick school at Oak Ridg- es at a caste! $101,000. Tentat- ive approval has been given by the Department of Education for this amount. King Township council have verbally approved the plan as well. As this is a Union school it is necessary to have the support of Whitchurch Township Council. Invited by the ratepayers association to attend this meeting Er open dis- cussion were the members of Whitchurch Council and Oak Rid- ges School Board. Members of the board, Chairman Robert Woolley, Jack Blyth and Richard Bull were present and Councillors L. McCarron and Delos Graham and Clerk Jack Crawford of Whit- church Township. The schoolroom was full and some ratepayers‘ stood all evening. Oak Ridges School Ratepayers Discuss New Addition To Guest speaker was Rev. S. A. R. Wood of the Thornhill Anglican Church. Rev. Wood’s address was very appropriate for the occasion and is worthy of being printed in full, for it not only gave a mess- age to the graduates but food for thought to all attending. His mess‘ age was â€" “Graduating from pub- lic school is the first in a series of steps, in which a child learns to Robert Fisher acted as chair- man and Mrs. W. L. Sanders gave the welcoming address, which was followed by Grace by Rev. E. E. Kent. Following the dinner, ’G. Learn, principal ,gave a toast to the graduates with gesponse by Miss Carol Smith, one of the grad- uates. The graduates, accompanied by their parents. the teaching staff. representatives of the school board Home and School Council and Maynard Hallman, School Area In- spector, Rev. E. E. Kent and Rev. S A. R. Wood enjoyed a dinner provided by the members, friends and executive of the association. A momentous occasion was ob- served on March 12 at Powell Rd. school, when the first grade 8 graduates, the 1951-52 class, were the honoux‘ed guests at a banquet given them by the Powell Road Home and School Association. Principal G. Learn of Powell Road Public School is pictured with eight of the ten members of the 1952 graduating class who'were honored at the school’s first Graduation Banquet held last Thursday night at the school. owe" Road Graduates Honored Councillor C. Hooper: “I don’t agree with a lot that is contained in that letter. All it’s going to do is create disagreement. It the peo- Reeve W. Timbers contended that many of the recommendations contained in the letter were al- ready under consideration by the Planning Board. In presenting the letter, Mr. LeMasurier said he felt “the con- tents of this excellent letter can be of invaluable assistance to this Council. I am particularly con- cerned with our future plans, and I feel we should discuss the letter and pass its contents on to the Planning Board”, be continued. In his lengthy report, Mr. Shor- ten stressed the great need for im- mediate industrial development throughout the township. In order to secure the industry necessary to offset such things as the rising cost of education the township must first be in a position to offer ade- quate water and sewage facilities. In his ten-page letter Mr. Shor- ten, a resident of Harding Park subdivision, referring to his own term of office stated, “I venture to predict that the Planning Board will not have completed its master zoning plan for the whole town- ship before the end of 1954. I say this not because of any lack of et- fort on the part of the Board. but by reason at the fact that during my tenure of office at least 90 per cent of the Board’s time was oc- cupied in dealing with subdivision applications and isolated minor real estate transactions which of necessity must come before the Board for its consideration. I fear that 1953 and subsequent yearswill bring even more such problems before the Board and that even less time can be devoted to active de- velopment of the master plan.” In a letter from Mr. R. Shorten, a member of last year's Markham Township Planning Board in which he expressed disappointment in the progress made by the Board was read at Monday’s Council meeting by Deputy-Reeve A. Le- Masurier. R. Shorten Reports we do with our life is the shout, and what we get out of life is the echo. If our shout is selfish, un- kind, mean or little, the echo must be unfriendliness, dislike, dissat- isfaction and unhappiness. If our shout is happy and friendly, useful kind and helpful, then the echo will be all those things which hap. piness, friendliness and unselfishâ€" ness bring in return. It is merely a matter of sowing and reaping, if FormerMemberMa‘rkham Planning Board Calls For Industrial Development These two questions have close bearing on each other, for they are like people standing in a vall- ey between "high hills, shouting, and listening for the echo. What It is in fact a very important time in the business of asking questions, for the graduate from public school cann t begin too ear- ly to ask, “What a I going to do with my life?" and “What do I ex- pect to get out of life?" On our ability to answer these questions clearly and wisely all our real happiness depends, and though we may change answers many times, if there is to be any point to life, the question must be asked and answered.

Taxi Stand The greater part of Monday night's Council meeting was-spent interviewing delegations. A three- man delegation from Highland Park subdivision under the chair- manship of Mr. D. Dobson, comâ€" plained of the failure of a block of six new stores being built on Yonge street between Woodward and Highland Park Avenues to in- stall adequate tile beds to handle their sewage problems. The rate‘ payers association has advocated that Council take steps to halt fur- ther construction on the stores un‘ til the paries responsible have tak- en some such action. Mr. Dobson: “If these stores are allowed to go into operation with six septic tanks draining into beds built to handle only three, then we are going to be faced with an- other drainage problem". Councillor LeMasurier: “Council should be able to take some con- structive advice”. No immediate action was taken.
