08 Ybnge St. S. TU. 4-1261 w. 3. 000K. Editor LAUNDERERS This is Young Canada Book Week and all across Canada, organizations in- terested in books and children are work- ing together to encourage more read- ing of worthwhile books by more child- ren at home, in the school and in the li- brary. _ The main objective of this week is to encourage young people in Canada to read more of the better literature now made available throughout the country in book stores and public libraries. Par- ents and teachers alike agree that the child who becomes familiar with books and who learns how to use and enjoy them and to profit by reading, can car- ry this ability into later life enabling him to derive considerable pleasure and knowledge from reading. Books are used for a variety of reasons â€"- pleasure, information, facts and understanding, and it is logical that a good‘ reader must learn to use any book to the best advantage. It is also necessary that the young child, espec- ially, should have the right introduction to reading and books.’ Educationalists claim that the best way to beat the threat of pulp novels is not to ban them but rather to substitutebetter books. ~ ~ â€"J-' Ann-- Uuu Luv-u“ vv -v..-,.

The books put into libraries are intend- ed for the enrichment of life and growth towards educated maturity, and the libraries serving our district at Thorn- hill and Richmond Hill have been equipped to do this very thing, in fact all over Canada libraries are playing a greater and greater part in the educap tion of our youth. A visit to local libraries will show that despite the rising sale of “comic books”, children are still enjoying the thrills of Adventures with D’Artagnan and Robin Hood and the suspense of Treasure Island.

The changes in question con- cern the addition of schedule “A” which refers to commercial properties and the corresponding clause 14. “The Planning Board never saw schedule “A” until the by-law had been printed and dis- tributed,” stated Dr. Tanner. “We realize the Planning Board is only an advisory body but at the same time we were surprised to discover changes were made in the final copy without our know- ledge", added the speaker. Changes Made By The Solicitor Apparently the changes in question were made by the Solic- itor on advice of the Provincial government. Councillor A. Len- nie â€" “Well does the Solicitor act without first getting instruc- tions from Council”. In reply Clerk C. Hoover stated. “the Solicitor submitted the proposed by-law to the Department of Planning and Development who in turn suggested certain alter- ations. The Solicitor then in- corporated these changes in the by-law". Councillor Lennie â€"- “Did the Planning Board see the by-law after these changes had ben made?” Clerk Hoover â€" “No.” Council Innocent Council maintained it had “in- nocently” passed the final draft of the by-iaw without realizing that the Solicitor on advice of the Department of Planning and Development had inserted chang- es without the knowledge of the Planning Board. 7 At the request of Dr. Tanner, the members granted the Plan- ning Board permission to delete Schedule “A” and amend clause 14. other Business 7 The members have instructed the Solicitor to draw up further Conservation Eng.

Councillor Perry took the opportunity ,however, to remind any prospective candidates of the sacrifice and work involved in holding office. He urged the candidates and the voters alike to give this matter of municipal elections serious thought before making any decision. Councillor James Robson pledged his support of the Reeve and expressed his confidence in the future of the township. Councillor ‘Robson has given 25 years in the service of the town- ship and along with Reeve Mc- Murchy will stand for re-election. A newcomer to the field of municipal elections is a success- ful young businessman, Kenneth Doyle. A. resident of Westwood Lane and experienced in the in- surance business, Mr. Doyle be- lieves that the township needs a representative from the front end of the township. “Because I can devote the time to municipal affairs, I feel I can give the front end ratepayers the repre« sentation they want." he said. School Board The only new candidate at this meeting for School Area Board was Stewart Calvert, a resident of Highland Park. Mr. Calvert, who is a High School teacher. has taken a vital interest in school as he feels that it is necessary for children to have the best educa- tional advantages in order to lead useful happy lives. He feels that the various members of the board should be familiar with the different aspects of education and as he has been a teacher for 15 years Mr. Calvert has consider- able experience to offer. Mr. Calvert expressed the need for closer. liaison between the School Boards and the public to avoid misunderstanding “Boards should inform the people in advance of any major proposals," he said. “People know all too little of the workings of the School Boards." he added. Trustee A. Wilkins announced his intention to stand for re-elec- tion and added that through his experience in the building trade he was able to assist in spending the tax dollars to the best advan- tage, especially in schdol con- struction. Question Period At the conclusion of the ad- dresses, Reeve Marshall McMurâ€" chy answered a number of ques- tions from the floor regarding as- sessment, taxes and township reg- ulations. Several questions con- cerned the fact that the present council consisted of members west of Maple and it was asked why there was no representation from the front end. It would appear that one of the main reasons lay in the fact that, al- though 850 notices regarding this meeting were sent out, only 60 persons at the most were inter- ested enough to attend.
