Doan said he felt the Board would not get the deâ€" partment’s approval on the trans- portation costs, thus forcing the Board to foot the entire bill, with- out benefit of grants. Trustee Stewart Calvert suggested a let- ter might be sent to parents, pointing out the emergency situ- ation, and ‘stating certain age limits must walk to school until more room is available.” “How many letters have we sent to the parents already.” ask- ed Mr .Taylor. “Public relations ‘has a limit. This isn't the par- ents’, or directly the Board's fault. It's caused by the great influx into our area. We really can’t improve the situation until The interesting afternoon pro- gramme began witn comments on their special projects by members who were completing their Third vear in the Garden Club. Eliza- beth Barker of Buttonville, Rose Marie Kennedy of Nnbleton and Betty Glover of Victoria Square had all chosen strawberry gtow- ing as their prOJect and reported on their success and interest in this undertaking. Betty Snider of Victoria Square chose to ex- periment with yellow tomatoes and Doris Goode of Queensville planted an asparagus bed. An outstanding third year project was that of Evelyn McTaggart of l\'ob1eton ’who grew 11 varieties of tomatoes and kept an accurate account of each plant with records Trustee Jackson Taylor' sugges- ted they put the pressure on to push the completion of the new Bayview Avenue school, and when this school is completed. “I think we can chop school bus costs in half,” he said. A letter was re- ceived from Vaughan Township stating its approval of the $100,- 000 debenture issue for the new school. Markham Township has yet to be heard ‘from on the mat- ter. Area Bd. Transportation Costs The Board made this move fol- lowing a report from Mr. Smith that the bus servicing the Lang- staff area was overloaded. Mr. Smith pointed out that almost all of the approximate 300 Langstaff pupils took advantage of the bus service. AL the present time the town- ship is in possession of a small block of land adjacent to the Mar- ket and held for park purposes, but unsuitable for this use. The Market folks would like to obtain this stretch of property for park- ing facilities. In turn they are in possession of land which the high school board would like to make use of for road purposes to the high school. The Board Room soon bore a striking resemblance to a wayside market as the 24 members from five cLubs set up their exhibits of vegetables and flowers from their garden-s and thereafter each girl spent a busy morning with a pro- gramme of judging vegetables and answering a garden quiz.

Trustee Taylor, “which the tea- chers today have to put up with, and I feel the teachers need their noon hour relaxation just like the rest of us. Sending the children home at noon is a good plan.” It was pointed out the noon hour bus service was not running as smoothly as it might and the matter was left to be discussed in detail by principals The great ma- jority of children unless for some special reason, now go home for lunch, following a recent decision of the Board to have uniform school hours throughout the area. help, not to hinder: Mr. Gladding stated that the farmers had been accused of at- tempting to stall the building of the new school and he stated that such an impresswn was entirely false and that the only wish of the Market Association was to Mrs. Mabel Borgstrom, County Home Economist, was in charge of the day and gave leadership with regard to the judging class- es, exhihits, skits, as well as rec- ord books and gardens. Greetings were brought from Women’s In- stitutes of the County by Mrs. E. Reddick of King and Mrs. Brum- well of Buttonville, these ladies also assisting in the presentation of certificates, pins and spoons. One silver coffee spoon was pres- ented to each girl successfully completing her project. Certifi- cates of Achievement for two pro- jects completed went to Eliza- beth Barker, Elizabeth Coulter, Lois Williams, Rose Marie Ken- nedy, Rhea Hamilton, Evelyn Mc- Taggart, Doris Goode, Jane Whit- field and Betty Glover. County Honours, consisting of certificate and pin and awarded for six 4-H Homemaking Club units, were re- ceived by Elizabeth Barker of Buttonville and Rose Marie Ken- nedy of Nobleton. Evelyn Mac- Taggart of Nobleton will receive the North Toronto Kiwanis Club Scholarship which will entitle her to a 10-day course in Horticulture The finalizing of a discussion regarding the basement room at Thornhill to prepare for pupil in- crease, as well as the hiring of a teacher for this classroom, was held until the trustees meet ag- ain. Mr. Smith reported that there are at present in the Thorn- hill school area 28 homes under construction and that the overall pupil average per classroom for Thomhill is 38, compared to the Area average of 33. Trustee Ca1- vert moved that action be taken immediately to remedy this con- dition, stating, “it is better to organize classes now than later in the year. I can’t see how a teacher can do a good job with 40 pupils in the classroom. I know from my own experience.” The Board, however, decided to hold the matter for next meeting’s discussion. “I’m in favour of getting away from this baby sitting idea," said at the O.A.C., Guelph To the reeve's suggestion both council and farm deputation ag- reed. of ripening dates and sizes 5nd numbers of the tomatOes.

Lucas had agreed to approach the Minister of Planning who would have to be consulted in such an arrangement. â€" Photo by lagerquist In a letter to Council. Trustees of S. S. No. 2 at Vandorf express- ed alarm at the reports of two new subdivisions to contain ab- out 60 homes in the Vandorf School Section. The Trustees questioned what provision was to be made for increased school ac- commodation. With approval having been given some time ago, these properties are now being developed and school accommoda- tion is becoming a problem. ' “If this Council is not in favor of relinquishing the land. then I suggest that a committee be set up to combat it,” said Mr. Evans. ‘I feel that this area of good farm land is not ready for subdivision yet," he added. Mr. C. M.. Vandervoort on be- half of himself and other summer residents of Lake Wilcox directed a letter to council in which he stated that summer residents would have to consider going elsewhere if some relief on costs of maintaining services on roads and supplying schools for year- round residents was not forth- coming. He suggested that year- round residents should be taxed enough for the services they re- quire. He also suggested that people creating cabins and col- lecting rents for them should be charged a business tax. The town- ship solicitor, E. J. Lucas, asked for his opinion on the suggestion, said that he did not think the township could impose a business tax on rented properties. Measured Assessment Discussing measured assess- ment, Clerk J. Crawford stated that the measured assessment “yard stick” used by county as- sessors in the Township showed an equal farm,assessment with Whitchurch assessor, but that as- Commenting on a press head- line stating that annexation pro- ceedings are being taken. Coun- cil expressed some concern. “When Newmarket and Stoufi- ville wish to annex portions of the township, they first approach- ed this council, but Aurora just announces that they are prepar- ing preliminary annexation by- laws without going into the mat- ter‘with us", commented one Councillor. Deputy Reeve Tim- bers moved that the Property Committee investigate the mat- ter. Industry on other ratepéyéfs; Tax Burden Chairman Lorne Evans of the Whitchurch Planning Board met with Council to discuss the mat- ter. Mr. Evans asked if Aurora had consulted the Council on the matter and also wondered if the 18 residents concerned had been approached to determine their feelings on the matter. It was pointed out that Aurora might be well advised to develop some 600 acres of undeveloped land it has at present before seeking more. Clerk J. Crawford told Council he had been contacted some weeks before regarding the as- sessment and population figures but had heard nothing further on the matter. Council discussed the possibil- ity that a $300-per-lot subdivision charge might be the solution but Councillors cautioned that until a system of assessment which will carry the load is devised, subdivâ€" ision should proceed slowly. One Councillor cited the case where dwellings are sublet to several families ,but where only a single tax is paid. This he said, was an undue hardship on the school and Whitchurch Council has ex- pressed concern over the annex- ation proceedings which are be- ing started by the town of Aurora to obtain approximately 250 acres of agricultural land from the township of Whitchurch. At last Saturday's regular meeting the annexation was one of the main topics of discussion. A short discussion took place on the securing of industry for Whitchurch Township and the av- ailability of industrial sites al- ong the main line to the west which runs through Whtichurch.

Plumbing By-Law The passing of the new plumb- ing by-law was put off until a full council was present. Council- lo‘r Sid Legge was absent from this meeting.
