In making the presentation, Home and School President Lewis Cle- ment said that it was a great pleasure for the assoeiation to be able to make some contribu- tion to this aspect of school life. He added that he personally felt that the ‘oratorical contest was an‘important step in the devel- opment of :any child. Winners, . .. . ,. The winner of the prepared speeches for Grades 7 and 8 was John Thomson who was awarded the Perkins cup for the second year running. His topic Was the problems of bilingual Canada. He pointed out that although 0 boy from Toronto and a boy from Montreal may both be Can- adians they cannot understand each other unless they take the trouble to learn both of Canada's nationally recognized tongues. The speech was well delivered, colourful and informative and the speaker was at ease on the platform and familiar with his subject. Barbara Bone was aw- arded second place and Lois Perkins third. Other contest- ants in this class were Bruce Wilson and Judith Langstaff. William Furse received the newly' presented Home and School Club for Grades 4-5-6 in the prepared speeches with his talk on a summer trip to the Maritimes and the United States. which was well and clearly de- livered.

Bunting of the High Schopl staff and Public School Inspectors Maynard Hallman and Edward Dunne. Clear Voices A good, clear projecting spea- king voice was noticeable am- ong the speakers, all of whom could be heard from the back of the auditorium without difficul- ty. Subject matter was inter- esting arid varied and the con-l testants seemed at ease before the audience. Several of the speeches were particularly out- standing in their sentence con- tinuity and mature choice of words indicating considerable thought in the preparation. During the evening, the aud- ience enjoyed selections by the Junior, Senior and class choirs under the direction of school music instructor, Herman G. Fowler. The recently formed Rhythm Band under the guiding hand of Mrs. Crutcher of the Kindergarten also played sever- al selections.

Mr. MacLaren stated that as the result ‘of a survey made two years ago by Miss Gregory of York Library Toronto and Miss K. Ball a lecturer in Library science at the University of To- ronto, that the selection and the number of books in each classi- fication is now complete. The Richmond Hill Library is com- parable with any other library of a similar size. Capital expenditures during the past year included outlays for a magazine rack, book stack, new shelving, and the purchase of new books. The Library is open 10 hours weekly.

Uplands Gardens Over 1/4 Million Development What is said to be one of the largest residential subdivision proposals ever to be put forth for Vaughan Township was pres- ented to Vaughan Council last Monday when developers of the proposed Uplands Gardens Subâ€" division met with Council to dis- cuss their $300.000 scheme. The site for the luxury development will be at the rear of the Lang- staff Public School and the Lake estate just north of Thornhill. Considered to be the largest amount ever spent in this area to develop residential property, it will cost $2,000 to develop each lot exclusive of actual land costs. Although the lots will sell above the average price of domestic lots in this area, the developers will offer paved roads. surface drainage sewers and water service. Estimates of the cost as presented to the township showed that $119,000 will be spent to build roads. the water system will cost $33,943. the watermains 840.500 and the storm sewers $36,000. The subdivision fee of $300 per lot for 150 lots will net the township $45,000. In addition, the developers have offered the township the opportunity to contribute to- wards the further development of the well from 100 G.P.M. to 350 G.P.M. in order that water from the Uplands system might be used for township purposes. The township‘s cost of increas- ing the well capacity would be $7,500 with an additional $9.600 10 Place a larger water main from the well to Yonge Street. A 100,000 gal. storage tank would cost $85,000. Reeve Marshall McMurchy pointed out that work has al~ ready been in progress in Rich- vale to locate a suitable supply for municipal water but added that Council would meet in the near future to consider the ofâ€" fer in order that the well drillâ€" ers at the Uplands site would know what capacity well was re- quired before work progressed too far. Slight Cut In County Taxes 'York County ratepayers are due for a slight decrease in their 1955 tax bills. Council last week set the budget at 8935.693 for a tax rate of 10.38 mills, .17 mills less than last year's rate. Expenditures this year are up 851.885. but assessment has increased. A mill raises $51,652 on an assessment of 351.652.784. The largest increase in this year’s budget is for York County Hospital. Coun. cil authorized payment of a 860.000, the first instalment on a $300,000 building grant, plus the annual $40,000 maintenance grant. A $75,000 grant to the Children‘s Aid Society is $320,000 greater than that of last year. To balance increa- ses, roads expenditures were carved from $215,000 last year to $137,000. Plan Attractions For Annual Fair At a meeting of Richmond Hill Agricultural Society directors held this week it was announced that the midway concessions for the Fair on Victoria Day, May 23, have been contracted for by the famous Miden King Shows. This assures that the midway this year will be bigger and bet- ter with a large number of spec- ial shows, rides and feature atâ€" tractions. Directors and committee memâ€" bers are working hard planning for the 1955 Fair. Reports pre- sented at the meeting indicated more than usual interest in the Horse Show. There will be a full range of classes for light and heavy horses and an excitâ€" ing jumping program which is attracting some of Canada's out- standing horses and riders. Other Fair attractions will in- clude a monster square dance competition, a tug of war. horse- shoe pitching, tractor rodeo. and of course the big Fair Night dance in the arena for which music will be provided by King Ganam Orchestra.

Bridge Project To Cost $423,000 Keith Hopper of Duncan Hop- per Associates told Vaughan Township Council last Monday afternoon that the proposed capital expenditures for roads and bridges in the township would cost approximately $423,- 500. The figures were compiled in a recent survey called for by the township and made by the Hopper firm. Seven Bridges Work on seven bridges is es- timated at $201,980. of which the iownship’s share will be ap- proximately $50.000.

Road Projects Road repairs are expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $221,566 with the municipality's share being $104,515. Although the Township has a road system of some 160 miles, for the pres- ent work is scheduled only for heavily travelled portions of main township thoroughfares. Work is planned for Bathurst Strch (Steeles to No. .71, Keele St. tSteclcs to No. 27), Jane St. (Steeles to No. 7), 6th Con. (Steeles to No. 7‘, Dul‘ferin St. (Maple. Sideroad 6600 ft. N.) and the 10111 Con. TDick Bridge to N. Townlinel. The project will include ditching, grading. filling, culverts and fill and in some ln- stances will include asphalt prime, hill cutting and land ac~ quisition. Council directed that the plan. which is to be dehentured for, should be sent immediately to the Department of Highways for approval. County Council Thumbs Down Metro Offer For County Park Termed lRidiculous’ Members of York County Council have severly criticized the attempt by the Metropolitan Council to obtain the 500 Counâ€" ty Park located at Sibbald‘s Point on Lake‘ Simcoe. At a meeting of County Council, last Wednesday, Deputy Reeve Ken Tomlin of Richmond Hill said "I’m fed up with the southern municipalities tryihg to push us around. I'll stay here until mid- night if neCessary to keep them from gaining possession of the park." The opinions expressed by Deputy Reeve Tomlin seemed to echo the sentiments of the ma- jority of County Council mem- bers as they discussed the pro~ posed purchase urged by Metro with combined surprise and in- dignation. Reeve Joseph Dales of Newmarket termed the offer of $120,000 “ridiculous” adding that the park was not being re- tained for anything other than recreational purposes. Offers $120,000 Metro‘s offer of $120,000 for the 500 acre site, the same price paid for it by the County before the Metro Area was set up, fol- lowed a series of joint talks be- tween County Council and the Metro Board when County offi- cials asked for Metro assistance in the project. A survey reveal- ed that approximately two-thirds of the people using the park were from the metropolitan area. “Chiselling” Says Gardiner . The Metro Council has chargâ€" ed that the present County is considering the subdivision of the park into expensive building lots. thereby removing the last piece of public beach of the lake's 300 mile shore-line. In addition to the cash offer, the ‘ Metro Board has guaranteed to retain the site as a park forever. Fred Gardiner, Metro chairman . has accused the County of “the‘ old County game of chiselling a a. little more." Second Curtain Club Play m British justice finally prevails as the trapped murderer, the police tie Jack Manningham to a chair. scene is from the recent Curtain Club production of Gaslight. left to right; in the Manningham up- stairs sitting room are Elizabeth, the Patrick Hamilton‘s thriller play, Gaslight, received excell- ent audience acclaim at the Cur~ tain Club's second production held last Friday and'Saturday evening in the Lions Hall. The Play which was the final produc~ tion for the season has created considerable interest towards the next season's activity. One of the most noticeable as pects of the play was the excell~ ent timing throughout the entire evening. The lines appeared to come naturally with quick tim~ ing of replies and cut-ins, indi~ eating producer John Grosven~ or‘s skill in compacting the lines and actions to a split second. Of particular interest was the hand» ling of lighting effects by club chLll‘ician Harold Matthews. In many instances the brilliant lighting chan:cs were depended upon to set the atmosphere and they were carried out to the last detail. 3...; .. 4; n «A... housekeeper The Seen from Outstanding in her first role on stage was Joyce Fearnside as Mrs. Manningham, the young wife who believes she is slowly going out of her mind. A diffi- cult role requiring rapid chan- ges of character and desperate outbursts of hysteria and re- morse. she ‘carried it with con- fidence and feeling and has es- tablished herself among the club members as capable of handling a heavy dramatic role. Playing opposite Mrs. Fearn- side was another newcomer to the local stage, John Anderson. as Inspector Rough. This role provided the only comic relief in this heavy Victorian melo- drama. Mr. Anderson was con- vincin-g in his benign, sympathet- ic role of the inspector who has followed the trail of a murderer for nearly 20 years. Alethodic in his pursuit and unperturbed by the circumstances, Inspector Rough goes about plotting the Manningham spector Rough (John Anderson), Nan-' cy, the maid (Muriel Bathurst), Con- stable (Warwick Butt), Mr. Manning- ham (John Grosvenor) and Constable (Harold Matthews). 2., (Margaret Burgin), Mr .

This is the first time the local theatre goers have had the opportunity to see Mr. Gros- venor on stage and it is evident that he is equally competent either as a director of produc- tions or an actor, a rare quality not often found in the theatrical world. His interpretation of the role portrayed a man preoc- cupied, searching :nd ruthless. 'l‘hc hascncss of 11:.
