To Request Approval Of A 1,000 Pupil School At Thornhill The Trustees of the Richmond Hill District High School held their regular monthly meeting last Mon- day evening in the Library of the High School and the main topic of discussion wa the proposed new school at Th rnhill. Trustee Har- ry Charles, chairman of the prop- erty committee. reported that ne- gotiations for the 13-acre site on Dudley Ave. in Thornhill were con- tinuing with the three property- owners concerned. Principal A. S. Elson reported that there will be between 182-190 pupils entering the high school in the fall from the Thornhill and Richmond Hill areas alone. This, in addition to the present over- crowding which necessitates a staggered system, will place an almost unbearable load on the present school facilities. At Whitchurch Township Coun- cil meeting. March 14, Deputy- Reeve Timbers. chairman of the finance committee, speaking on re- quests from various organizations in the Township for donations stat- ed “the finance committee is bring- ing in a recommendation that do- nations be limited to $300.00, this amount to be distributed in answer to all requests that come to coun- cil." A cattle claim for $100.00 was paid to Wm. McDonald of Vandal-f, On Thursday afternoon, March 12, three dogs ran Mr. McDonald’s cows around a field causing one cow to fall and break a leg. Con- stable Mulholland had to shoot the cow on Saturday morning. Letters have been éent to 20 or more owners of cottages at Mus- selman's Lake, who have rented their cottages for year-round oc- cupation, pointing out that council will strictly enforce the Land Use by-law passed last year, prohibit- .ing such actio'n The school popu- lation at Musselman's Lake has in- creased by 35 children since 1952. "There will be an additional po- tential of attendance to consider from the already approve dsubdiv- isions in the area," commented Trustee H. Collard. Trustee V. P. McMullen said, “These figures will serve as evi- dence to be used in our letter re- questing approval for the new school to be sent to the Depart- ment of Education." He continued, “What size school do the members feel we need, perhaps 600?" “It would fill up as soon as it was ready", commented Mr. Elson and added, “I think that a school to accommodate 1000 would be more logical.” The following grants were ap- proved at this meeting â€" Aurora Horse Show, Markham Fair, North York Plowmen, $50.00 each; Cana- dian National Institute for the Blind and the Salvation Army, $25. each; Stoufiville Lions Club and Aurora Lions Club $10.00 for the Crippled Children’s Fund: Oak Ridges Lions $10 for their Boy Scout work. ‘ A letter received from Charles Vining, complaining of the dis- turbance caused by a dog kennel owned by Mrs. L.

Blake and seconded by Trustee Campbell Smith that the Property Committee make a re- King Beamish waited on council and discussed with members the work done on township roads in the past year. Councillor McCarron remarked “roads at Lake Wilcox are 100% better this year than they were last year." - Mr. Kdnnee added, “This could easily become a 7-year plan allow- ing two years for the completion of the school." Mr. Carmen. owner of Ray's Taxi appeared before council ask- ing for a taxi license to operate in the township. Council promised its consideration. Board 5.8.

Personnel A meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Harvey on Wednesday, March 11, of the King Community Association. The pur- pose of the meeting was to discuss a property of two acres on Patton Street that is for sale, and which would be available for the site of a community Hall. The personnel committee report- ed that eight new teachers had been hired to take care of the ad- ditional requirements of the stag- gered system beginning next year. Three of these teachers are re- placements and the other five are new staff. Matters pertaining to the requirements and salaries were not discussed at this meeting as they had been previously dealt with at a closed meeting. Where township councils are in- terested the Crop Improvement As- sociation and York County Coun- cil are prepared to assist in the eradication of this brush. Reeve McLaughlin said Whitchurch Township Council will do all it can to assist this year. Mr. Marritt stated that a five year program of cutting and spraying would clean up the township. “Stem rust has disappeared since barberry was cleaned up. No barberry can be sold", said Mr. Cockburn. Raise Funds To Buy‘ Property Hall Site: The secretary. Mrs. McAllister read a letter from the Department of Education advising the Board that although it was still necessary to have department approval on the majority of capital expendi- tures, it is now possible to pur- chase equipment and supplies up to a value of $3,000-$3,500, without approval. Budget W. M. Cockburn, Agricultural Representative, and York County weed inspector Marritt were pres- ent and discussed with council the control of Buckthorn in the town- ship. Mr. Marritt said that in a re- cent trip around the Lake Wilcox district he found an estimated 35 acres of buckthorn. Seed from this plant will blow for miles and is responsible for the grain rust 'm the farmer's fields.‘ J. Deyette, roadmaster for the Can- adian National Railway, answering Clerk Crawford’s letter of March 5 about the obstruction of the railway crossing on the Lake Wil- cox sideroad between the 2nd and 3rd concession, by trees belonging to Ed. Leary who refuses to cut them down. The letter was refer- red to township solicitor Lucas for his advice. These trees and the bank obstruct the view of cars ap- proaching the crossing. The mail man was killed there some months ago. Replying to a letter from Whit- church Planning Board asking for information about regulations gov- erning drive-in theatres, H. C. Rose chief engineer of Toronto and York Roads Commission stated “the Provincial Department of Motion picture censorship and theatre in- spection branch has complete con- trol of licensing and construction of this type of theatre and we sug- gest that your board contact them.” A letter from Mrs. S. Troyer, secretary of U.S.S. 1 stated that the Board has recevied tentative approval from the Department of Education for proposed increase in pupil accommodation in the am- ount of $101,000 in order that plans may be prepared for a five- room addition, the said plans to be sent to the Department for appro- val.

The Classes for New Canadians will continue for some time.' ‘ New Member A letter received from F. T. Courtney, secretary of the Board of Directors of York County Hos- pital, thanked Council for its as- sistance during 1952. The Finance Committee reports that the Budget is almost complete and only a few figures remain to be secured before it is forewarded to the municipalities concerned. Mr. Kinnee added that any mem- bers of the Board would be willing to explain the formation and proâ€" posed expenditures of the budget if any municipality requested it. Mr. Campbell Smith of Lang- staff attended his first meeting with the School Board. Mr. Smith is appointed by the School Area 1 (Markham and Vaughan) Board and replaces Mrs. R. Keith. Upper Holland Valley Conser- vation Authority Levy for 1953 will be $1,420. Whitchurch town- ship’s portion of this is $250.66. 'Cash relief for month of Febru- ary was $449.71.

Dan Acheson, lot 30, Concession 6, had his assessment reduced in the amount of $400., the house having been completely destroyed by fire. Gena-31 accounts passed amount- ed to $1,468.61. New Legislation The Board heard a letter from the Urban and Rural School Trus- tees Association regarding the re- cent action taken by the Provin- cial Government in refusing grants on such things as shop and Home Economics rooms. EYmnasia and auditoria. Trustee Charles observed. “Haven‘t the. Area Schools got more reason to have for shops and economics rooms? After all that is the purpose. of a District School and the Department got us into this idea.” “I feel very strongly on this sub- ject," said Chairman Morley Kin- nee. “Students in cities have the privilege of attending vocational schools yet a country student is de- prived of this." The Property Committee report- ed that it had received a price of $315 to have a five foot link fence erected from the southwest cor- ner of the building to the Wright St. line. Mr. Kinnee commented that the public was forcing the board to take this action to protect the landscaping. The comrhittée was instructed to further investigate prices and have the job completed. Mrs. Lewis Marwood and Archie McDonald were the winners of the first prizes at the euchre held in Laskay Hall on March 12, when the W.I. of Laskay held another fortnightly euchre party. The sec- ond prizes were won by Mrs. Jesse Richards and W. Fuller, and the consolation awards went to Mrs. Harold Millard and Walter Monk- man. There were ten lucky number prizes. The Laskay Institute had a successful series of card parties this winter with 10 or 11 tables being the average attendance. On March 26 there will be a euchre and dance in the Laskay Hall. Trustee Campbell Smith sug- gested, “Why not build a vocation- al school?" “That requires a larger assess- ment than we have at our dispos- al," replied Mr. Kinnee. The Board gratefully acknow- ledged the receipt of a cheque in payment for the large dedication plaque in the lobby of th eschool from Trustee Mrs. P. C. Hill. Mrs. Hill has taken a vital interest in the formation of the District High School and her letter expressed her great pleasure in being able to give this plaque of dedication.

Mr. Norton "The building only meas- ures 8'x10’ and thus no permit is required." Mr. Lennie: “The ques- tion is whether it is legally poss- ible to operate a taxi stand on a side street.” Mr. Dobson, in ex- pressing the feeling of the dele- gation stated that they had no de- sire to have a taxi stand set up in a residential area. ' Mr. LeMasurier then asked if the building conformed with the Township's building by-laws. Mr. Norton: “They haven‘t broken any of our by-laws." Councillor W. Clark suggested that the best way to deal with the matter was to confer with the operator when he came to apply for a taxi licence. Clerk Hoover reported that he had recent inquiries regarding the is- suance of taxi licenses. "Where pnces meet purses” â€" in the classified ad. section. Tele- pho,ne yours to TUrner 4-1261. Mr. Clark: “I feel any taxi 1i- cence should be held up until we get further information." Reeve Timbers stated that if the additional 33‘ necessary to make it a standard 66’ road were dedi- cated by the Gamble Farm, 3 pe- tition could be signed by the resiâ€" dents concerned and the Township would take the road over. In an endeavounto speed up proceed- ings, a resolution moved and sec- onded by Deputy-Reeve LeMasur- ier and Councillor Lennie was passed asking Mr. Gamble to dedi- cate the necessary 33’ to the Town- ship. Joint Meeting Along this same line, members on recommendation of the Plan- ning Board passed a resolution in- structing the Building Inspector not to issue any more permits cov- ering commercial or industrial construction until such perm'its have been approved by the Plan- ning Board. Doncaster Group Markham Township Council and the Unionville Village trustees are scheduled to hold a joint meeting next Monday evening at which time several matters concerning the Unionville Fire Brigade will be discussed. Swill Feeding Pigs A large delegation from Glen Cameron Avenue in Doncaster under the joint chairmanship of Messrs. A. Bursill and W. Myers, waited on Council to object strong- ly to the muddy, impassable con- dition of their streets. As Glen Cameron is only a 33‘ road, it has therefore never been taken over by the Township. The township gave two readings to its new by-law designed to halt the swill-feeding .of pigs within the township. Once the by-law has received the approval of Council, it must be referred to the Munici- pal Board. The Municipal Board will then hold a public hearing at which time anyone objecting to the by-law will have an opportun- ity to register his complaints.
