But the most important feature is the amount of light delivered by the fixture, and this can only be adequately tested by a light-intensity meter.” between one-third and one-half of the pupils attending every school in the town lack sufficient illumination by normal stand- ards. and were actually studying “in the dark." While in some cases eye strain may occur. there is no doubt that teaching efforts and the pupil’s ability to learn are seriously hampered by the poor illumination for the pupils." coaP TU. 4-1313 Three high officials of the Church of England in Canada received honorary doctor of di- vinity degrees at this 78th spring convocation. “The world has never been as ready and receptive to the word of Christ as it is today,” Rev. A. A. Chote, rector of St Mary's Anglican church, Richmond Hill, told the twelve members of the graduating class in his address at convocation exercises held at Wycliffe College, Toronto,. last Wednesday night. “Our world is fearful and frustrated," he said. “It is looking for something to lift and sustain it. People have grown tired of artificiality and half-truths. of the importance of becoming ambassadors for the church of Christ.’ Mr. Chote told the graduating class. “In order to do so we must know our Gospel and our generation and com- municate the one to the other.” Rev.

Of the remain- ing 50% Council intends to raise this figure by debentures over a 10 year period. The debenture issue will be subject to the ap- proval of the Municipal Board. Markham Township Council will shortly embark on an am- bitious road building program to cost an estimated $225,000. This figure which was agreed upon at Monday‘s Council meet- ing is considerably lower than the original figure of $403,000 put forward by Councillor V. Griffin on behalf of the Road Committee (Deputy-reeve W. Clark and Councillor V. Griffin). After a period of lively debate Council reduced the esitmate by nearly half and ruled that any paving must be done on a local improvement basis. The Com- mittee had originally suggested that both the cost of rebuilding the roads and the paving be charged against the whole town- ship. If such a scheme had pas- sed then a total figure of $77.- 450 for rebuilding and repaving Bayview Avenue from Steeles Avenue to the C. N. R. tracks would have been charged against the whole township. Reeve Al< fred LeMasurier strongly oppos- ed any suggestion that the cost of paving be charged against the whole municipality. "Such sys- tem would be unfair and unjtist. I feel any paving should be hand- ,led on a local improvement basis and be paid for by the people who directly stand to benefit”, stated Reeve LeMasurier. Ten Different Roads Affected Parts of ten different roads lying in varying parts of the township will be rebuilt. The main work in'the front part of the Township is scheduled for a group of roads in Doncaster. The cost of rebuilding these roads will be charged against the whole township. Any pro- posed paving of these road sur- faces will be handled on a local improvement basis. 10 Year Debenture Issue Markham Twp. Nearly Quarter Million Dollars-Road Rebuilding On the Count}!
