To this end, Mr. Hallman and Mr. Banerjee spent Tuesday of this week visiting a variety of classrooms in this district, from one-roamed rural schools at Kinghorn and Linton (5.8.18). to the new modern Kettleby Public School at the corner of Highway 400 and the Aurora sideroad. which is operated un- der 3 Township School Area. Mr. Maynard Hallman, Public SchooLInspector. was host this week to an interesting personal- ity from India, Mr. Banerjee. who is here in Canada under the auspices of the Colombo Plan to assist underdeveloped countries throughout the world. Mr. Banerjee is studying all as- pects of our educational system in this country and will use the knowledge thus gained to im- prove educational facilities and methods in India. A letter from the Don Valley Conservation Authority called to the attention of council a recent motion passed by the group re- questing that municipal councils consider only one family dwell- ings in the river valley. They also wish to have support in keeping construction a safe dis- tance back from the banks and below the water crest.

Bell Telephone Council turned down a request from the Bell Telephone Co.. to permit them to erect telephone poles 9 feet from the lot line.

Expect New Pipeline To Aid Vaughan Industry 2 THE LIBERAL', Richmond Hill, Thurs., Feb. 24, 1955 Although no one was serioust in- jurel in last week’s smash, two cars were badly damaged and a carload of people shaken up. Each year there seems to be an increasing number of accidents at this particular corner. At this point, south-bound Yonge St. traf- fic is picking up speed on the down- grade while the western approach is on A two-car crash recently at the Yonge Street-Maple Sideroad inter- section has pointed up the increasing need for a more adequate warning sig- nal for motorists at that spot. w. 3. 000K. Editor Father. We all belong to the common run of humanity. The word “common” as used here, carries no suggestion of that which is low-grade and limited; rather let it be significant of the potential in- herent in man and race. We are of common stock in the order of humanâ€"4 ity, and any outstanding achievements of particular groups must be measured in terms of environment, opportunity, and individual or group initiative. There are no “special” races. Some may have been afl’orded special oppor- tunities, with consequent greater res- ponsibilities. But it should be evident that the more we are, and have and achieve in common the greater the im- pulse toward the achieving of the high destiny of children of the One God and 'is readily recognized that the W An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 Subscription Rate $2.50 per year; to the United States $3.00; 5c Single Copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

The cost of this service is born by the Dept. of Agriculture, the township and the farmers. Council has given approval to the debenture issue of $29,500 for an addition to the Hender- son Ave. School. Mr. Banerjee is himself in charge of 41 school inspectors in India and therefore showed keen interest in all that he sawuBe- tween visits. Mr. Hellman and Mr. Bannerjee "talked shop" and discovered many amusing differences in their respective jobs. For example, Mr. Ban- erjee covers his territory by mo- torcycle most of the time, and his inspectors either reach their schools on foot or on backs of elephants -â€" a far cry from the modern modes of travel in this country. Mr. Banerjee arrived in Mon- treal from India a week ago Mon- day. He went from there to Ot- tawa ,where he spent two days, and thence to this district. He plans to stay six months in Can- ada and has expressed a desire to re-visit this area in the very near future. W. Moffat Cockburn, County Agricultural representative met with council to explain the .sett- ing up of a Warble Control and Brucellosis bylaw. Out of '382 cattle owners in the township, 263 signed the Warble fly petit- ion and 276 the Brucellosis petit- lon. During the meeting, council discussed briefly the possibility of purchasing township owned cruisers for the Vaughan police next year. “With increased po- lice which will soon be required, mileage paid will mount steadily. I think, therefore, it is time to consider purchasing our own cars," said Deputy-Reeve Albert Rutherford, who is chairman of the police committee. Cattle By-laws presented to Vaughan Council- lors at the meeting. The by-law is designed to keep gravel pits from excavating too close to county roads thus causing a haz- ard. The same by..law would al- so regulate the closenqu of buildings to county roads. oun- cil endorsed the principle of the resolution but instructed the clerk to advise the county that they felt there should be some relation between the depth of a pit and its closeness to the road. “There should be nothing less than a 1% or 2 to 1 grade from the road to the pit bottom,” sug- gested Deputy-Reeve A. Ruth- erford. Some time ago, the subject of a. stoplight or warning flasher was dis- cussed but no action was taken. The number of accidents which have occur- red at this corner during the past year would appear to indicate the need for further investigation on the possible installation of a traffic warning signal of some sort. a steep hill. These conditions com- bined with the location of a T.T.C. bus stop right on the corner create a dan- gerous intersection, especially for the motorist unfamiliar with road condi- tions. Let us make Brotherhood Week, 1955. truly significant â€" beginning where we work, and live, and play, and worship. Brotherhood Week is an attempt to further in the large that essential love and goodwill. It reminds us that in the Will of God, and in the Spirit of Jesus of Nazareth â€"- along with an in- creasing awareness of the oneness of the world â€"- we must seek for a deep‘ ening order -of Brotherhnnfl very fact of the Fatherhood of God en- tails an enlarging order of Brotherhood among men. Even in a well integrated family there are bound to be differenc- es of opinion and outlook. But the true family is motivated by a common spirit of love‘and goodwill» which welds it in« to a spiritual unity.

Soloists during the evening in- cluded Betty Byfield. Joseph Ra- binowitch and Herman Fowler. For her solo, Mrs. Byfield play- ed the,popular On Wings of Song by Mendelssohn. Mrs. Byfield is an outstanding violin- ist having started her career at the age of nine, as guest artist with the Toronto Symphony or- chestra. Cellist Joseph Rabino- witch played “K01 Nidrei" in an arrangement by Bruch. The two words Kol Nedrei are the open- ing phrase of a chant used in Jewish Synagogues at the Feast of the Atonement. The gentle nostalgic tones of the cello were appropriate for this beautiful melody usually sung by a cantor. The third soloist was the choir leader Herman Fowler who play- ed the march from Wagner‘s Tannhauser. Although written for full orchestra, this celebrat- ed march of the entry into the Wartburg lends itself very well to an arrangement. As a conclusion to a very en- joyable evening .the Choir sang the choral round, Good-night to You AIL a quartette accompaniment for the choral work 0 Lovely Peace by Handel. ' in the far East Rabbi Monson said that the Jewish people year- ned to return to Israel for two thousand years. Following World War 2 they conquered Israel defeating forces of seven other nation. Today there still are 160,000 Arabs living in On this side of the Atlantic the United States has 4% mill- ion Jews while Canada has 225,- 000. During the last war 18,000 Canadian Jews enlisted in the armed forces, and of this numb- er one thousand paid the su- preme sacrifice. Stating that the new state of Israel is ’the only r_eal_democracy Poland, behind the Iron Curt- ain still has 40,000 Jews all clamouring to leave the country. The 3 million Jews in Russia it- self have been written off as a complete loss as their rights have been seriously curtailed by the Soviets. Prior to the‘ rise of Hitler there were 16% million Jews in Germany. By the end of World War 2 Hitler had destroy- ed 6% million of t_his figure. In analysing the World situa- tion Rabbi Monson paid high tribute to Great Britain. No- where in the World have people of the Jewish faith received bet- ter treatment and a real sense of brotherhood than in England. Today England has 14 Jewish Lords and at the very height of Hitler’s anti-Semitic campaign both the Chief Justice of Eng- land and the Lord Mayor of London were JeWish. All told there are 380,000 Jewish people in Great Britain. Hitler Destroyed 6% Million Jews Both Christians and Jews share the old testament and be- lieve in heaven and hell. How- ever each religion approaches Jesus Christ with a different feeling. To the Christian Jesus was divine, while the Jews con- sider him nohting more than a Prophet and human. Although the new testament is the main basis of Christianity it is regard- ed by the Jewish religion as a fable. Turning next to the various customs and traditions associat~ ed with the Jewish faith Rabbi Monson said his belief discour~ ages expensive funerals and if not required by law would dis- pense with coffins. , Pay High Tribute to Gt. Britain Introduced by Joseph Rabino- witch prominent local lawyer and member of the Jewish faith Rabbi Monson traced first the similarities and then the differ- ences of the Jewish and Christ- ian religions, A comparison of Christianity and Judism was the subject of an interesting and informative talk delivered by Rabbi David Monson at last Monday’s special observance of Brotherhood Week by the Richmond Hill Rotary Club. ‘ RABBI DAVID MONSON Guest speaker at Monday's Brotherhood week rally sponsored by the Richmond Hill Rotary Club. Native of Ottawa Rabbi Monson came to Toronto in 1939. Founder and spiritual leader of Beth Sholom Syna- gogue on Eglinton Avenue West he has played a promin- ent role in the spiritual and community life of Toronto. His other accomplishments include charter member and governor of Northwestern General Hospital, wartime chaplain, and member of Council for Christians and Jews. Rabbi Monson Guest Speaker Rotary Club Water will be provided for this subdivision, and if the 150 lots in the ‘Loretto subdivision to the north are developed it will cut costs of sewers from $1,- 000 per home to SSUO. R is ex- pected seven acres will be re- quired for a school site. The Board decided to make no recommendation until a revised plan has been seen and word to this effect was sent to Vaughan Township Flaming Board. The Three new residential subdiv- isions were submitted to the Board of T.S.A. No. 1 Markham and Vaughan last week for per- usal by trustees regarding re- quirements for school sites. The largest of the develop- ments is the Uplands Gardens Subdivision, from Uplands to the Loblaw and Loretto Abbey property, on the west side of Yonge at Langstafi, provides for 150 homes which will range in price from $22,500 to $30,000. It has been estimated 25 per cent will be occupied by the end of the summer. The interest of educationalists is at present centred on the pro- blem of the gifted child and this topic appeared as part of the ag- enda of almost every section. In the Principal's section, this topic was introduced by Professor E. Brock Rideout. of the Depart- men of Educational Research at the Ontario College of Educa- tion and a panel composed of Principals W. B. McMurray, U. T.S. chairman, F. R Rutherford, York Memorial Cl. and A. S. Elson,_R.H.D.H.S. led in the dis- cussion of the efforts being made. and the problems found in meet- ing the requirements of the bright pupil. Principal Elson had prepared a brochure for dis- cussion which suggested an ac- celerated programme reducing, for the bright student, the nor- mal five year course to one of four years. As time prevented the completion of the discussion on this topic, the proposal was referred for further discussion‘ to the Metropolitan Headmasters" Association meeting in March.

Neilly, passed away last week in his 96th year. The second subdivision, at the southwest corner of John and Bayview, consists of 16 lots. and is being developed by A. Ucci. The third is at Thornlea Road and Bayview and is a 10-lot dev- elopment by S. S. Warren. The Board issued no land require- ments in these subdivisions. BRADFORD : Council has re- quested the Department of Highways approval on paving of several streets in the town. present plan has not been ap- proved by the Planning Board. The new subdivision will neces- sitate the addition of three rooms to Langstafi school. The plan was submitted to trustees by Mrs. 1. Armstrong, who is the trusteeâ€"representa- tive on Vaughan Planning Board. All departments reported a very profitable day and feel that such gatherings are of great value in the sharing of problems and their possible solutions. Although R.H.D.H.S. teachers did not lead the discussion in the Modern Language section this yeall: they were selected to con- vene next year’s meeting of both the French and German divisions. During the sessions much infor- mation, such as selection of guests speakers, subjects to be discussed, and procedure to be followed, was obtained, which will undoubtedly prove useful in arranging next year’s program. The committee will begin work in the fall, drawing up a basic agenda, which will then be sub- mitted to the modern language teachers of the district. together with a quesionnaire inviting sup- plementary suggestions. It was quite evident from the discus- sions of the recent meeting that several pressing problems, such as the selection of suitable text- books, the use of a minimum vo- cabulary, and the best way of relieving the Upper School load, are still awaiting further study and discussion.

The Richmond Hill Rot,- ary Club this year is headed by Jack Rice. In the 50 years since its foun- ding, Rotary has grown to a to- tal of 8,300 clubs. consisting of some 400.000 business and pro- fessional executives, in 89 coun- tries or geographic regions of the world. Among its outstand- ing works, internationally, are the Rotary Foundation. estab- lished on the death of the foun- der, Paul Harris, in 1947, which in 1952 had amassed a total of $3,200,000, and had awarded student fellowships to 500 schol- ars from 57 different countries. After three, years. when Paul Harris became President. he de- cided the movement had poten- tialities of becoming an import- ant one, and he went out to or- ganize more clubs. In 1908. the second unit was formed in San Francisco and by 1910, there were 16 clubs in that area. When they formed an organization of clubs, the Rotary form was crys- tallized. By 1912 the Internation- al Organization of Rotary Clubs was formed, with clubs in Canaâ€" da and the US. taking part. and by 1922, the name evolved to the present Rotary International. The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill wishes to thank the public for their wonderful support and also pay tribute to the service clubs and other organizations, also the press, for their excell- ent co-operation at all times. Founder of An Ideal Rotary International has grown from an idea formed by one man Paul P. Harris, founder of the movement A native of Wisconsin, he was educated in the East. and studied at the Un- iversaries of Vermont, Prince- ton _and Eowar graduating in law.
