(Maybe dahey weren‘t so crazy after an, it might be an (the 130 adapt those automatic windshield washers for the same DEW)- This is one of the first move- ments to bring municipal water- works into Vaughan Township. At the same time Vaughan Town- ship has optioned two sites for test drilling for water for Rich- vale. The northern site is on Yongehurst Ave., and the south- ern site at Bathurst and Carr- ville. The work of drilling is being held up by the aftermath of Hazel. The International Wat- er Supply rigs are working full time repairing damage done to wells by the hurricane, but hope to start operations in the district soon. HELICOPTER VISIT Fog on Tuesday morning for- ced a helicopter to land in the backyard at Ned Hill's home on Vaughan Road. The pilot report- ed that he was en route to the Holland Marsh for relief work but not being familiar with the territory combined with the dense fog made it necessary to set down the helicopter. 7 After waiting sevei'al hours to see if visibility would improve. the pilot turned back to Toronto. There has been plenty of wat- er around Vaughan Township re- cently, but not the kind the resi- dents cherish. However, it will be of great interest to the home owners in the area to know that Mr. Baker of Barrie, has recently drilled alwel] for a new real es- tate development, north of Up- lands Golf Club, and found an adequate source of water. The well is just south of the Lang- stafi Side Road,, near the banks of the Little Don. First Step Toward Water In Vaughan When a couple of bright boys put bogeflher flie‘ world's first homeless carriage (you’d be surprised how long ago) they forecast there was going to be an inevitable conflict with pedestrians. The “car” rattled along the streets at about two miles an hour, afid it seemed be run by magic. I-t wasn’t until weeks after its first demonstration that the baffled and frightened people discovered the two men .who were hidden in the vehiâ€" cle's back section. They turned a winch and flfis moved the (ear axle. , There is a car I‘ve heard of that I would never, never want to se'i'l. Tefl you about it next week.

Attendance at these lec- tures'will satisfy University at- tendance requirements. Fees are paid by the teachers. The classes are being well received by the teachers 125 attending this week’s classes Mr. Campbell explained that in this Unit Promotion System each former grade is divided into three levels. The slow learner may take four months per level; the normal child three months. and the bright child two and a half months. A pupil stays with his teacher for at least one year and the teacher promotes the various groups within her class- room when she finds them ready for promotion, under the direc- tion of the principal and under the supervision of the inspector. Mr. Campbell stated that the sys- tem was introduced in Hamilton in 1938 and has been found very successful. Royal Commission Recommends ern system of units within grades where promotions are made when the individual child- ren are ready to advance. The Report of the Royal Com- mission on Education in Ontario, 1950, recommended the adoption of such a system in the elemen- tary schools. At present in School Area No. 1 Markham-Vaughan this system has been introduced in the first three grades. A question and answer period followed Mi‘. Campbell‘s talk during which the members were able to have Mr. Campbell an- swer their questions about this new system. A very enjoyable item on the program was the conducting by Mr. Hugh Martin, Music Super- visor, of a demonstration music lesson with the Grade IV class of the Henderson Avenue School. Expect Addition to be Ready by November Mr. Keith Richan, Chairman of the School Area Board, spoke on the completion of the new adâ€" dition to the Henderson Ave. School. Mr. Richan stated that the four new rooms would be completed by the end of Novem- ber. at which time the present shift system would stop.

There are 26 students attending other schools, either technical or pri- vate. A favourable report was re- ceived from the Inspector on the commercial option classes in the school. Mr. Elson announced that the annual Commencement Ex- ercises will be held on November 18â€"19. School Name The later part of the evening centered around a discussion re- garding the name for the new school at Thornhill. Trustee Roy Blake suggested that the name of the entire school area be chang- ed, claiming that the term Richn mond Hill District was not ap- propriate now that the area was so big and would now contain two schools. “Are we empower- ed to change the name,” asked Trustee Collard, adding, “After all, we're just here to transact the business." Trustee Wilfred Dean said he felt that a great mistake had been made calling it the Richmond Hill District in the first place and said that there was considerable opposition to the term in his area, Thornhill. “We shouldn’t stand in the way of progress." he added. Trustee Harry Sayers said that even though there had been a .long history behind the name of Rich- mond Hill he thought this was a logical spot for a break. Principal Favours 01d Name Favouring the retention of the original name. Principal Elson said, “Although I have only been here since the formation of the school area, I have been impress- ed with the long history of sec- ondary school education which lies behind the name of Rich- mond Hill High School. Mr. Elson added that with the development of the area from the Rich- mond Hill High School, the story of education in this area has been retained under a name which has become symbolic Mr. Elson concluded that he was sure that there would be no harm in having a Thornhill High School in the Richmond Hill High School District. The matter has been deferred until the next meeting and students will have the opportunity to make sugges- tions. Finances The Board recommended that a letter be sent to the various municipalities in the School Area asking that payments be made. Secretary, Mrs. J: R. McAlister said that there was still a bal- ance of $34,000 to come from Markham township, the furthest in arrears. Chairman M. J. Kin- nee said that he thought it unfair that the school Board should have to pay interest on borrowed funds while the municipalities held back in payments, some- times as late as the end of~ the year.
