AURORA : Dr. A. W. Boland has been elected chairman of the town Parks Board. W. S. COOK, Editor ENJOY SMOOTH SAFE DRIVING ! Ontario is Ganada’s wealthiest province yet British Columbia, with a much smaller population spread overla large area and a proportionately great- er rise in school enrolment, seems to do a much better job of meeting the education problem. On the average British Columbia pays better salaries for teachers, has made good progress in providing fully equipped schools and above all, its government assumes a bigger share of the costs of education from provincial revenue rather than letting it become an excessive burden on rapidly expanding communities as is the case in Ontario under the present government.

Opposition parties have an excell- ent opportunitly to criticize the present Provincial government in he current election campaign over the apartment of Education’s failure to meet the grow- ing needs of education in the province. *With only a few graduates still avail- able from the Ontario Teachers’ Coll- ege, School Boards across the province are becoming desparate in the teacher search. With school accommodation almost at its peak, the Ontario Depart- ment of Education has fallen down, not only in its teacher-training plan but also in the field of school building and operation. The recent unconditional grants to school boards have come as a half-hearted effort to stem the tide of mounting dissatisfaction over the pres- ent educational system.

Member Installs Local Officers Meet Needs The teaching profession is not at- tractive enough to interest many young graduates-today. Enrolment at On- tario’s Teachers Colleges has been drop~ ping steadily in recent years. It is generally recognized that even a tv'vo- year course is not sufficient training for an elementary teacher. In addition it is being accepted that there is a need for a broader cultural education and it is felt that teacher training should be integrated with university work. This programme raises standards, making the profession much more attractive than at present and also makes it pos- sible to tap potential recruits early in their university life. school graduates and one year for sen- ior matriculants, are little more than the old Normal Schools under a new name. And in recent years, the prov- ince has resorted to a preliminary tea- cher-training course to meet the de- mand for teachers. This emergency plan sets a novice teacher with a mini- mum of six weeks training over today’s crowded class rooms with sometimes as many as forty and more pppils. / The province of Alberta did away with Normal Schools as early as 1946, Nova Scotia’s Education Department has integrated normal school and univ- ersity courses and McGill's new Insti- tute of Education is planning to train elementary and school teachers togeth- er. However, Ontario’s Department of Education has been satisfied to only half meet the growing challenge of Ed- ucation in this province. WORK GUARANTEED ALVERNA SMITH, Associate Editor Ml‘s. M.

It should provide Liberal candidates with the support they need. “The chief strength of the Liberal program 1: in its re- peated promises to cut the people of Ontario and their municipal governments in far- ther on the returns of any ex- panding market â€" an economy atop which the Frost govern- ment has sometimes given the appearance of floating in rather too contented comfort.” -â€" The Spectator (Hamilton) COMMENDS LIBERAL PROGRAM luiuln‘ _UD|T ,mcuu‘nofls UREAU W.

Asphalt prime will be applied to all the roads in established sub- divisions, e.g. Highland Park. while cheaper bunker 'C’ oil will be applied to less travelled roads. Any roads marked for rebuild- ing this year will not be oiled but instead calcium chloride will be used as a dust control. Council has instructed the Clerk to initiate local improve- ment proceedings for the re- building and surfacing of Glen Cameron Avenue in Doncaster.‘ The Township’s Consulting En- gineers have estimated it will cost a total of $43,600 to com- plete the work on the road, The 3,062 feet of roadway will be graded, ditched and surfaced at a cost of $24,500 and tobped with a mixture of oil and stone chips for $19,100. The local improve- ment notice will be followed by a public meeting of the ratepay- ers concerned at which time they will have an opportunity to reg- Markham To Start Its Dust Control Program Next 2Weeks’ In answer to questions from a three-member delegation ‘ from John St., Thornhill, Road' Com- imttee member Councillor V. Griflin stated Monday that Mark- ham Township will have its dust layer program under way within the next ten days to two weeks. Before commencing the program the Road Department is anxious to give all the roads‘ a chance to dry out properly so that the oil- ing will be a success. Councillor Griffin stated he realized the uh gency of the situation by the large number of 'phone calls he is receiving from irate ratepayers over the dust problem. One-third Roads To Be Oiled Council has already awarded its oiling contracts this year on an equal basis to Miller Paving Ltd. and K. Beamish Construc- tion Company. Once the filling program is started it will be carried through until completed. Glen Cameron Avenue HAROLD MORTSON It’s a fact . . . . our used machinery stock is getting dangerously low!

HAMBLY pointed Vice-President of Can- ada Varnish Limited, was elect- ed President of the Chapter for 1955-56. Mr. Hambiy is the sec- ond Richmond Hill man to hold this important office having been preceded by W. A. Wagner M.C.I.. who also served as Dean of the Institute. Of further in- terest is the fact that the gavel used at The Canadian Credit In- stitute’s meetings was made by another local resident. R. E. Edmundsk M.C.I. and presented to the Chapter back in 1941. Many prominent Canadian Busi- nessmen. who are Institute grad- uates. can look back with pfide at their diplomas, ,which bear the fine script work of Douglas Boyd also of Richmond Hill. These same graduates are in- debted to W. S. Pocknell- I.A.S.. C.P.A.. who has lectured to them at the University of Toronto for a number of years on “Collect- ions From a Legal Standpoint." R. E. Edmunds is also a former lecturer. W. J. Hambly served as Editor of the mo thly publi- cation of the Chapt for three years, as well as lecturing to the ,students during the past term. The Planning Board has also recommended that the 290-home Victoria Gardens to be located just west of the Village of Un- ionville be forwarded to the De- partment of Planning and De- velopment for study. Council has turned down a further request from the Im- perial Oil Co. for permission to build a service station on the southwest corner of the Don Mills Road and the Carrville sideroad. Council has express- ed concern of late over the in- creasing density of service sta- tions throughout the municipal- ity. Planning Director R. For- rest is presently making a com- plete survey of the number and location of service stations in the, township. ister their feelings on the mat- ter. Dunlap Observatory As to the matter of attempting to hold up the growth of the municipality, in order to protect the Observatory, Reeve A. Le- Masurier seemed to echo the sentiments of Council when he stated, “I am prepared to pro- tect the Observatory to the e"- tent that such protection doesn‘t adversely affect the municipalâ€" ity." w The Water Committee (Coun- cillorsD. Deacon and V. Grifiin) will shortly meet with represen- tatives of Thornhill Estates sub- division in order to discuss the matter of a water supply for the development. The subdivision, which lies on lots 11 and 12 in Concession 3 is outside the proâ€" posed water area. The plan of the subdivision was forwarded to Council by the Planning Board after Council recently halted all subdivision development until the matter of water is clarified. Council will for the present take no action on a by-iaw de- signed to protect the scientific value of the Dunlap Observatory at Richvale. The increasing am- ount of light power is proving a detriment to the work of the Observatory. Markham feels that if such a by-law is to be ef- fective, it must also have the backing of Vaughan Township and Richmond Hill Village. Unionville Village Trustees have made clear their interest in the Township’s suggested plans that they repave ’the main street from No. 7 Highway to the nor- thern limits of the village. The total estimated cost is $28,600 and the village wiuld like to de- benture it over a 10-year period. The Unionville Trustees‘have approved the amending of their land use by-law to permit the Opening of a dentist’s office north of No. 7 Highway between the railway and the Kennedy Road.
