March 3, 1955 A splendid Spirit of co-operation between the Richmond Hill Village Council and the Richmond Hill Public School Board was much in evidence 1 recently when the two bodies met 1; to discuss the approval of a third Pub- lic School for the village. .a:- n. v ... W. 8. COOK. Edi“! Due to the unprecedented wet wea- ther during late summer and at harvest time last year_ there will be a drastic shortage of good quality seed oats, red clover and alfalfa in most Canadian provinces this year, according to agri- culture experts. Weather conditions were particu- larly bad in Quebec and it is estimated that close to one-third of the province's reuirements or nearly 1,000,000 bushels of seed oats may have to come from outside the province to provide for nor- mal planting. Supplies of registered seed will be much below normal in the Maritimes, Ontario and Western Cana- da with Alberta being particularly hard hit.

Production of alfalfa and red clov- er seed in Canada in 1954 fell much beâ€" low the 1953 level, say the experts. Al- falfa seed production was reduced by 70 percent and red clover by 65 percent. To ensure the best possible results from this year‘s seed, the experts re- commend more widespread treatment of both grain and clover seed with pro. per seed disinfectants. They also sug- gest giving more attention to the fer- tility needs of existing meadows and pastures next fall to compensate for the pending reduction in new seedlings resulting from shortage of clover seed. Get-togethers such as this one certainly do a great deal to foster a bet- ter understanding and a feeling of good-will. With Richmond Hill on the rapid up-grade, municipal and educa- tional officials can, with a true spirit of ‘co-operation from everyone, meet the increasing needs of the community and at. the same time reduce the growing pains to a minimum. clear conception of” what is required to provide this essential service, while on the other hand, school boards must be- come fully aware of the many demands on tax dollars and the acute problem of holding mill rates steady.

Your Board of Health is anxious to offer what protection it can and the Medical Officer of Health heartily endorses accept- ance of the treatments. Your home and school association president has received a mess- age from the Board and also the scheduled time-table which shows the day and the hour when the M.O.H. will be at your school. All practicing physlc. ians in North York have been informed of the plan and pro- gram and perhaps you might like “to talk it over” with your fam- ily physician.

Also pres- ent were Robert Tamblyn, the Board’s representative on Rich- mond Hill District High School Board, who reported on the pro- gress of the Thornhill school to date, and Miss Ann-Marie Quig- ley. public health nurse, who reviewed the work of the Health Unit in the schools. Favor Change in Shift System During his report Mr. Tamblyn asked for a recommendation from the Home and School rep- resentatives present regarding the advisability of changing the present hift system to enable pupils f m Thornhlll area to at- tend school in the morning inâ€" stead of their preSent afternoon schedule. By a show of hands, 14 of the representatives. a ma- jority of those present, voted in favour of the change in the schedule to enable Thornhlll pupils to attend morning classes. *Miss Quigley reported that word has been received from the plovince that a province-wide polio vaccine for Grades 1 and 2 will be started April 1. She pointed out that the vaccine would be given only with the parents‘ consent and would be administered in three doses.

Dr. Doan pointed out that absenteeism. in A resident of Richmond Hill for the past three years. Walter Temple Reid. 188 Lucas Street. died Monday. February 21, at his home following a lengthy ill- ness. He was in his 75th year. A native of Ontario County, he was born at Uxbridge in 1880, the eldest son of the late Mr. ahd Mrs. Andrew Reid. For 32 years he operated his own fuel business. and was associated lat- er with the Elias Rogers Coal Company at Toronto until his retirement four years ago. He resided in Toronto for 33 years prior to coming to Richmond Hill. Mr. Reid was affiliated with Richmond Hill United Church. He was a member of long stand- ing at Windermere United Church in Toronto, prior to his move to the village. and was treasurer of that church for 27 years. His hobbies were wood.- working and gardening and he was a member of Richmond Hill Horticultural Society. Native Ontario County Passes In 75th Year Health Unit Gradually Winning Recognition Fire broke out Wednesday noon at the Eagleson resiâ€" dence, King High Drive. Concord, when their bunga- low was partly gutted by fire. Richmond Hill and Ma- plel Brigades answered the cal . » Cause of the fire is un: known. York County Health Unit‘s fight to attain recognition was described recently as a struggle against “tremend- ous prejudice disguised as innocence and lack of co- operation camouflaged as oversight from indivdu- als. organizations, official and unofficial.” The description was given by unit director Dr. Robert King when he presented his annual report to York Coun- ty Council. He added that the unit is gradually winning the co- operation of municipal coun- cils, which, he said. “are be- ginning to realize that the unit has no ulterior motive but only a sincere desire to serve the community." Health. said Dr. King, is a commodity which can be purchased. “and in the field of prevention. public health is the bargain of the age." At a public meeting held Tuesday evening a three- member general welfare committee was set up for Richmond Hill and immedi- ate district. Members of this temporary committee are: Mrs. Lois Miller, Mr. M. Vokes and Mr. .1. Rice. It is hoped that this com- mittee will be the prelude to the establishment of a permanent group which will co-ordinate all welfare work within the community. Twenty-four people rep- resenting 18 difl‘erent org- anizations all of which car- ry on some type of welfare program were present at this general meeting. Miss Bes- sie Tuzell. who is the execu- tive director of the Ontario Welfare Council will be ask- ed to speak to the next pub- lic meeting of the group on the subject of the best and easiest way of setting up a welfare committee. Set Up Welfare Committee For Village Bungalow Gutted most cases. is not the fault of the child but the fault of parents. He stated there were two reme- dies for continuous absenteeism. a recommendation to the De- partment of Health and Welfare that the Family Allowance be stopped or the case may be tak- en to court. He said the main purpose of encouraging daily attendance was to develop the habit of reg- ularity in the children as part of their school training. A pro- vincial grant is given for attend- ance and last year, Mr. Doan stated, $129,660 was received in grants to the Area. Discuss Report Cards Area psychologist, Donald Mac- Tavish. in reply to queries re- garding the purpose behind the new type report card, stated the new card comments on the pro- gress of the child in relation to his own ability, while the one previously used classed the child in relation to his fellow pupils. Some Home and School rep- resentatives felt the new card was "too ambiguous” and stated a preference to the previous card used. Home 8: School Committee Upon the suggestion of the Board, Trustee Stewart Calvert explained the organization of a Home and School Committee which would act as a liaison be- tween the associations and the Board. this suggestion was ag- reed upon by the H. end S. rep- resentatives on Tuesday night. There will be one representative from each Home and School in the Area. It was left to the Board to call a general meeting and Home & School Associations were asked to contact the Board Secretary.
