There are many calls these days on the public spirit and generosity of our people, but there is now in progress a campaign which is in a very particular way, our own. We refer of course to the current drive for funds to provide a much needed extension to York County Hospital â€"â€" our hospital. Too often in the past we have re- ferred to it as the Newmarket Hospital. It is in reality the York County Hospi- tal â€"â€" our hospital. Now that funds are needed for extension the problem is ours, and we must shoulder our respon- THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs., May 13, 1954 Records show that in 1953 there were 291 patients from Richmond Hill treated in the Hospital. It also serves residents of Markham, Vaughan, King and Whitchurch townships as well as all the rest of the County and some areas in neighbouring counties. sibility. Established in 1923 York County Hospital in its first eighteen months of operation served 194 patients of which 58 were babies. ' “Authorized as second class Two breaklns occurred in neighboring stores in Oak Ridges on Tuesday night when thieves entered Full- er’s Dry Goods store and Gallagher's I.G.A. Market._ Both stores were entered by smashing glass in the front doors. At the I.G.A. a considerable number of roasts, hams, cooked meats, cigarettes and butcher knives were taken while dresses. Skirts, leather goods and men’s clothing were taken from Fuller’s. A flash camera was taken from Buchanan’s Apnliances, which is located with the dry goods store. The dry goods store was en- tered two years ago, while Gallagher‘s I.G.A. was brok- éhmin‘io only six weeks ago with several previous break- ins within the last few months. “ KifigfiTownship police are investigating.

One application for a license to oper- ate an eating establishment has been refused. it was reported at council’s last meeting, unless the owner of the premises brings them up to standards required by the Ontario Provincial regu- latlons. Another applicant, ask- ing for a permit to erect a num- ber of houses, has been refused the permit because the lots are not of sufficient size to permit the successful operation of sep- tic tanks.

Wad- dell, a property owner at Lake Wilcox, enclosed a plan of what should be done to improve the drainage ditch recently construc- ted along the north road into the Lake area. After considering the proposed plan council instruc- ted Mr. Crawford to write the property owner informing him the road and ditch had been con- structed to specifications of en- gineers employed by the town- ship. Receive Cheques For Services A cheque for $200 was issued to Ken. Ash for garbage collec- tion for April and a cheque for $116.65 will be issued to former councillor E. L. McCarron for his services as councillor since the first of the year. Mr. McCar- ron's resignation having been ac- cepted. a nomination will be held on May 21 at 1 pm. at Vandorf. An election ,if necessary, will be held on May 31. Notices will be posted in the toyvnship._ Our Hospital No objections having been re- ceived regarding the proposed improvements under a local im- provement plan of Fergus Ave., Lake Wilcox, work will begin im- mediately. Engineers estimate cost at $4,000.00. Whitchurch Council and Ux- bridge Council will hold a joint meeting in Stoufiville on Tues- day, May 11, to which represen- tatives of the Bell Telephone and the gravel pit operators on the townline will be invited to at- tend. This gravel pit s oper- ated so close to the road hat the hydro and telephone poles have had to be re-inforced and there is danger of the road being un- dermined. The two councils have had several discussions over the past year, and now the time has come when action must be taken. "If these utility lines fall we face a lawsuit,” said clerk Jack Crawford, “with the gravel pit operators as co-defendants.” A notice from the Highway Im- provement Act stated that after May 5 the Markham and Whit- church townline from the 8th concession to the railway tracks in Stouffville will be a Queen’s Highway. _ Cuts Road Budget A letter from J. M. MacInnes, chief municipal engineer. stated that the Department of Highways approved, for roads and equip- ment in Whitchurch Township. $85,000, instead of the $93,000 asked for these purpose. “The co-operation of the township in keeping within this figure is ask- ed for," the letter stated. A letter from the C.N.R. re- ceived at a former meeting and suggesting an estimated cost of $2200. to improve the sight lines at the Leary crossing on the Lake ‘Wilcox sideroad, had brought ‘forth the opinion from council- \lors that the estimate was too high. An inspection of the cross- ‘ing by Councillor Sid Legge and :Road Supt. Davis resulted in an :estimated cost for the work of ‘$1,000. The railroad agreed that the township should do the work and bill them with their share of the cost. The crossing fund and the railway will share the cost with the township. A survey shows 20 trains and 300 cars cross the tracks daily, and sever- al bad accidents have taken place at this unprotected crossing in recent years. A grove of trees 3,761 patients of which 930 were babies. This represents a yearly patient in- crease of 255. AlthOugh classified as a 52-bed hospital it usually has 80 pat- ients and serves a population of about 60,000 within a twenty mile radius of NeWmarket. The present facilities and accom- modation are inadequate for the needs of today and an extension is planned. The plan entails an expenditure of $600,000. of which it is expected approx- imately $400,000. will be provided by Federal, Provincial and Municipal grants, leaving some $200,000. to be raised by public subscription. The challenge to the people of this district is to put up their fair share. A campaign committee has been organized and is doing a splendid job of promoting this appeal on behalf of a very worthy cause. If a canvasser has not yet called on you, you can help by sending your donation direct to the Campaign Chairman, York County Hos- pital, Newmarket, 0nt., or to your local éommittee. ALVERNA SMITH, Associate Editor on ‘the Leary property will be moved to a new location on the farm. Weed Inspector for York Coun- ty, Frank Marritt, appeared be- fore council. He would like all township roads cleared of Buck- thorn this year. “There is still a lot in this township,” he said. Council spent a lengthy per- iod discussing tenders for oiling township roads andrweed spray. Tenders varied a point or two. “There is only about $15 or $20 difference between the highest and the lowest, and we are wast- ing a lot of time”, said one coun- cillor. No decision was reached. Discuss Industry Chairman of the Whitchurch Township Planning Board. Lorne Evans, always an interesting vis- itor, was present and discussed‘ the efforts of his board to secure light industry for the township. “Inquiries have been received. since the recent reports in the newspapers, of the suitability of this township for industry," he said. “We have received in- quiries from New York State, Windsor and several from Tor- onto". A sign will be erected advertising the industrial possi- bilities in the township and sev- eral locations for such a sign were discussed. Councillor Gra- ham thought several smali signs on all highways running through the township would be good ad- vertising. Prices will be' ob- tained by the Planning Board. The Whitchurch Planning Board has invited all the Planning -Boards in York County to a joint meeting in Newmarket. Experts from the Ontario Department of Planning and Development will be present to answer questions. Oak Ridges Couple Run Air Service Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Marshall of Oak Ridges have sold their gar- age and refreshment stand on Yonge Street, to Ross Davis of Barrie, who will operate a mod- ern drug store on the premises. Mr .and Mrs. Marshall have pur- chased the lOO-acre farm of Mrs. Myrtle Comer on the Baldwin- Egypt road near Sutton and when necessary hangars and runways are completed, plan to operate a flying service and training school. Several types of aircraft will be based on the field. Mr Marshall has been flying planes for 20 years and has his commercial and private pilot’s license. He will have an instruc- or’s permit and aeronautical en- gineer’s degree this Fall. A large brick house on the property will be remodelled to suit the needs of the Marshalls and their son and daughter, Win- ston, who is a Grade 6 pupil and Claudia who will enter Sutton District High School. General Meeting Fact Finding Comm. which 930 were babies. On Monday, May 17, there will be a general meeting at Oak Rid- ges of the Fact Finding Commit- tee for a Community Centre to which everyone is invited. The Fact Finding Committee was set up some itme ago by various or- ganizations of the district. This committee has compiled informa- tion on community centres and wishes to present it to residents of the community. The speaker for the evening will be Clifford Wallwork, chair- man of the Whitchurch Commun- ity- Centre Board. This meeting will present an opportunity for residents to elect a committee to work out plans for a community centre in this area. ; 5c Single COPY (gamma UDI‘I’ :UREAU JRCULATI9N$ Last Saturday morning we boarded an RCAF North Star at Rockclifie Airport at 9.30 am. and five and a half hours later we landed at Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay. When we left Ot- tawa the temperature was about 60 and the tulips were in bloom. At Churchill the temperature was just a little above zero and there {vas 1about 2 feet of snow on the eve . ' * ' We were among a group of members of the Commons and the Senate making an‘insp'e‘ction of the military establishment and Operations at Chm-chill: ' ,A ‘nnn Fort Churchill is about: 1200 flying miles from Ottaw‘a‘w It is Manitoba‘s seaport and Nbi‘tfiei‘n terminal and has become in ’tfié last quarter century an import- ant supply point for many East- ern Arctic ports. Today Churchill has a popula- tion of about 1000 and boasts a railway terminal, a grain eleva- tor and modern harbour, a white whale processing plant. two mis- sions, two hotels, several stores, a theatre and a modern School, The railway was completed in 1929 and two giant elevators with a capacity of 2% million bushels were completed in 1931. The first cargoes of grain left Church- ill September 20, 1931. The harbour is open‘to ship- ping approximately four months of the year. In 1953 thirty.one shiploads of grain were shipped through the port Scheduled rail service is limited to two passen- ger and one mixed train per week. There is a twice weekly air passenger service. Beluga or white whales, a member of the dolphin family, are abundant in the Bay during the ice-free season. The whales are approximately 16 ft. long and they weigh approximately 1600 pounds. Whales are har- pooned, processed for edible oils and the remainder sold to fox or mink farms or used as fertilizer. Approximately 700 were killed and processed in 1952 but in 1953 therqruota was smaller. The original army post was es- tablished by U. S. Command in 1942 but was taken over by the Canadian Army in 1944. It is operated as an experimental and training station dealing with all phases of warfare under Arctic conditions. It is ideally located for such operations. It is very near to the tree line â€" south it is wooded and north quite barren and with little or norvegetatrion. The purpose of this modern and well equipped military estab- lishment is to provide experi- mental ‘and training station for (Continued from page 1) priation against the property that it be set aside for educational purposes. At present there is no entrance Into the school site and Chairman W. Dean of the Build- ing Committee, who acted as spokesman for the group, asked Markham to consider extending Dudley Ave. north from Clarke Ave. to Elgin Street in order to afford the Board a right of access to the property. Solicitors Disagree Both solicitors. J. D. Lucas, acting on behalf of the Township, and the Board’s solicitor, Mr. Smith, disagree as to where the legal right of expropriation lies. Mr. Smith contended that the School Board has no power of ex- propriation in the matter of road- ways and therefore the Township must act on behalf of the Board. Mr. Lucas maintained that the School Board does have the pow- er of expropriatin in the matter of securing the right of access to their property. Trustee Dean advocated that the Township expropriate the ne- cessary road allowance and charge the cost back to the resi- dents concerned on a local im- provement basis. The situation is complicated by the fact that Dudley Ave. is only a road in theory, as the land has never been dedicated to the municipality. Reeve A. LeMasurier, in echo-t ing the sentiments of Council, stated that in meeting the prob- lem of supplying roads to school sites, not located on existing Township roads, the Council will endeavour to treat every school board on an equal basis. In the case of the Richmond Hill High School District. Markham, in con- junction with three other muni- cipalities. are shareholders in the High School District. Reeve Le- Masurier felt that it would not be fair for Council to put the road in and charge the whole cost to Markham ratepayers alone. As a matter of policy, Council last year went on record as stat- ing that in cases where a Coun- cil is requested to build roads in- to new school sites they will com- plete the work, but charge the vtotal cost back to the school board concerned. ' Recently, at the request of the Markham District High School Board, Council built a new bridge as an additional access to the school property and charged the cost of same to the Markham High School District Board. 'I‘rustee Dean felt that extend- ing the road will enhance the val- ue of the land of the present own- er_s. Mr. Lucas questioned that if the ratepayers concerned happen to object to a local improvement. they might present a strong case against it by stressing that the prime purpose of the local im- provement is not to improve their property but to gain access to the school site. In reply to questions regarding an alternate school site on exist- ing roads. Trustee Dean observ- Industrial Cnmmissn Canadian forces, the National Defence Board. and USA. For- ces in order to develop the art of warfare under Arctic conditions. It is used by the three branches of our own armed services, the USA. and the United Kingdom. It is the scene of operation of many scientists in a wide variety of fields. Our two day visit was crowded with activity and included a tour of the townsite. a visit to Eskimo Museum, and a trip over the Bar- rens in Penguins and Bomba- diers, caterpillar driven snowmo- biles which travel up to 40 mp. h. over the barren snow covered waste land. We visited army con- structed igloos. snow caves and service tentsr We visited the Very Well equipped Research Laboratories where tests are under way with all kinds of modern vehicles and equipment and in every phase of human and animal life. Flies and mosquitoes are a terrific pest in the short summer season and control projects are under exper- imentation. On a calm day in .summer it is impossible to relax and enjoy life in the open be‘ cause of the fly nuisance. The ov- ersize mosquitoes are No. 1 Lnuisance but there are black flies and sand flies and many other [species ' Interesting tests and trials have been carried out in a great var- iety of fields and includes com- bat clothing, all weather rubber insulated boots, tent equipment, gas stoves, snowshoes. arctic mitts, sleds, troop shelters, all sizes of tanks, oversnow vehicles. cargo carriers, endurance trials of tractors. Particularly inter- esting are the human energy ex- penditure trials under Arctic conditions. Humans, service personnel and native Eskimos, are put through all kinds of tests to dem- onstrate the varied reactions and varying efficiency under extreme cold. Under all tests the Eski- mo performs with much less ef- ficiency loss due to cold. Army postings are varied but mostly are from two to three years. Quarters are excellent with comfortable well furnished apartments for married men. well equipped and well staffed schools to take care of the educa- tion of children. Five mess halls, gymnasiums, theatres and almost every possible recreational facil- ity are provided to guard against the possible boredom of the fro- zen northern waste. Despite all some get “hushed” after a few months of life in the North. Af- ‘ter a short two day visit we can well believe it would be possible. ed that the Board had considered three other possible sites, two in Markham Township and one in Vaughan Township, but it was not possible to secure a suffic- iently large area on already ex- isting roads. Finally, after further delibera- tion, Council by resolution agreed to build the road on a local im- provement basis providing the Board secures a signed petition. from the ratepayers affected and also agrees to bear its full share of the cost of the local govern- ment. While agreeing to cons- truct the road under these ar- rangements, Council stressed that basically it still considers the matter of a road into a school site the prime responsibility of the School Board.
