The program will be non-denominational and nonâ€" sectarian and will be handled by the Thornhill Ministerial Assoâ€" ciation with Reverends E. B. Eddy (United); A. A. Chote (Anglicanl; Wm. Hiltz (Baptistl. S. A. R. Wood (Anglicanl; P. C. Buck (Baptist) and C. Chambers (Presbyterian) participating. _ Mr. Maynard Hallman, Public School Inspector, brought up the matter at the meeting by stating that it was a department- al requirement that religion be taught in school. He also added that any School Board can waive the provision of the regulation if an application is made to the Department annually. Mr. Hall- man emphasized that the pro- gram of religious teaching must be non - sectarian and non - de- nominational and stated. “If we only teach a code of ethics, it will instill in the children a basic faith and understanding.” Great Responsibility Mr. Hallman added that he apâ€" proved of the Ministerial Asso- ciation doing the teachingras it was a cross reference of the community and said that it was both a great opportunity for the Association and a great respon- sibility. Mr. Hallman suggested that the parents be notified in advance of the new program and that it be emphasized that the child has the right to withdraw, with parential consent, from re- ligious teaching. Rev. S. A. R. Wood, of Thorn~- hill Anglican Church, represent- ed the Ministerial Association at the meeting. The first point dis- cusSed was that of keeping the training non - denominational and non-sectarian. Rev. Wood stated that the Asâ€" sociation felt very strongly on that matter and when the topic was brought up at their meet- ings they discussed the problem of both following the provincial outline of study and avoiding any tendency to proselytize. Non-Denominational Mr. Hallam emphasized that the Department of Education wants the course to be non-de- nominational and non-sectarian. Rev. Wood stated that there would be the inevitable personal approach but the majority of the ministers had prior teaching ex- perience and anything along that line would be kept out. The problem of how the course was to be taught was the next point under discussion and the Trustees suggested a program of talk, prayer and hymn. Rev. Wood voiced an emphatic state- ment against this saying that he felt the ministers would not like to be tied down to any set rou- tine. As to the problem in hav- ing a question and answer per- iod, Rev. Wood stated that it would be welcome as it would help to show the children how religion had an application to everyday life. ‘ Rex Sevenoaks Began Career At Early Age Mr. Rex Sevenoaks of Toronto who is directing the Curtain Club production of “The Pass- ing of the Third Floor Back" has a background of varied theatri- cal experience. He began acting at the early age of five and per- formed in Christmas shows written especially for him and his brother by playwright Char- les Windermere. He attended Webber Douglas Drama School, London, England, and performed in a number of plays on the Lon- don stage prior to the second World War. He toured Africa with his own company as leading Actor and Director. In Canada Mr. Sevenoaks has played with the Jupiter Theatre. Toronto, and was a member of the University Alumni cast in the winning Dominion Drama Festival production “Family Re- union", at Victoria, BC, in 1953. He was named best supporting actor in “Uncle Vanya,’ in the 1955 Ontario Drama Festival. “The Passing of the Third Floor Back” will be performed by a local cast at the Lions Hall on November 10, 11. 12. Raise Building An addition, to raise the height of the building three feet. is being made to the Bank or Nova Scotia offices in Richmond Hill. Apartment space will not be the final outcome of the work as has been rumored, Trustee Stewart light up the problem of beinfl able to reach the emotional level of the child, since their level of understanding varied from grad»: to grade. Rev. Wood stated he saw no problem there, even though most of their experience had been dealing with older people. He added that with children the question would be relatively simple and any con- troversial questions or points could he referred back to the child's own minister. Rev. Wood pointed out that the Association would be dealing with grades 7 and 8 and most of the ministers had children who had passed through that level and therefore they could under- stand the problem. The greatest hurdle. Rev. Wood pointed our would be the interpretation by the minister of Biblical passages and should such interpretation be literal or spiritual. He stat- ed that in reality there was no problem because the lesSon would be the same regardless of what interpretation was given. In conclusion, the board stat- ed they were whole-heartedly be- hind the new program of religi- ous education and felt it. would be a step in the right direction. Rev. Mr. Wood thanked the Board for their support and stat- ed the Association was comfort- ed to know the School Board was supporting them. Guest Preacher Calvert bro-i REV.

Board Wants Compensation For Future Tapping Water Main Richmond Hill District High School Board Tuesday night ag- reed to have inserted in its wat- er agreement with Markham and North York Townships, a clause which would give financial pro- tection to the Board in regards to the future tapping, by subdiv- iders of the water main to the new Thornhill High School. In the water agreement with the two townships which has yet to be completed, the Board will get water for the school from North York. The Board was in agreement it should be compen- sated for future tapping of the main. "We should be rebated in proportion to the area that is going to use it said Trustee Wil- fred Dean in his report to the Board on the situation. He said , it would cost around $10,000 to lay the main for the new school which at present wilL be strictly for school use. Chairman V. P. McMullen re- ported on the recent survey of 00.00 MUST GO EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT the land at Woodbridge which the Board is considering for a site for its third school.

Council and Plan- ning Board last Tuesday afternoon at a joint meeting: held at Maple. The meeting was planned to discuss the objec- tions on the part of the Metro Planning: loard to the offic- ial plan of Vaughan Township which has been under con- sideration for more than two years. Mr. Jonc's statement was made in reply to a question from coun- cil regarding. Metro's reasoning behind the proposed alteration in the Vaughah land-use plan. Mr. Jones explained that the Metro Planning Board was faced with the problem of the develop- ment of a region, no longer a city. {hid had approached the Vaughan plan in terms of its needs and anticipated 'devclop- ment until 1981. “We expect that Metro will double its pres- ent population to an anticipated 2.8 million people by 1981", he continued. Early in the discus- sion, Mr. Jones pointed out to those present that the jurisdic- tion of the Metro Planning Board over this area depended on how much jurisdiction the Minister of Planning & Development wi- shes. “In this case, the Minister has referred the matter of your official plan to the Metro body for consideration and comment," he said. Away From Core Mr. Jones emphasized that with the widespread suburban development, points of commun- ication with the central core (Torontol are almost at the point of no return and for that reason, the Metro Planning Board is vit- ain concerned with the orderly development of new outlying centres. He explained that the present job of the Metro Plan- ning Board entailed the co-or- dination of the development of the various municipalities which form a part of the expansion of the region. Citing Vaughan Township as an example, Mr. Jones said that it was anticipat- ed that by 1981 the population of the township would totallabout 50,000 people requiring an ap- proximate 4,500 acres of resi- dential land. It is felt by Metro, however, that the portion of Vaughan in the first Concession south of Lot 52 is the only portion which needs to be developed in an ur- ban manner at present. Industrial Area The second objection lay with the proposed 3,200 acres for in- dustrial development along No. 7 Highway. Mr. Jones said that his department feels that such a large area will encourage spot- ty development making it diffi- cult to service and proposed, in- stead, a 1,700 acre section for the present with another adjoin- ing area as a tentative future in- (iuslrial area to be developed only when (he need appears. Deputy Rccvc Albert Ruther- ford cxprcsscd concern that po- tential industry might by-pass Vaughan for an area further a- field. Rccve Marshall lllc-Muvchy explained that the large indus- trial area had been planned in the hope that its development would equalize the pressure of other developments in the town- ship. Agricultural Land Speaking about the large por- tioh of land set aside for agricul- tural purposes, Mr. Jones asked Council what the intention of such an area was. “We can't say definitely. but we hope it will reâ€" main basically ngricultural until it. becomes economically unsound to continue." said liccve lVTCâ€" Murchy. “What safeguard have you provided in order to keep it rural?" Mr. Jones ilSde. The Reeve commented that it was a difficult situation to control but added that there was a 10-acre severance limit. Mr. Jones sug- gested the possibility of consid- ering a 25 acre severance limit to which Mr. McMurchy replied that council was not averse to the figure but felt that it deserv- ed a great deal of consideration. Differences Not Great In concluding the discussion, it was agreed by all those pres- ent that there were not vast dif- ferences of opinion on the sub- ject and it was agreed that a great deal of additional statistics and important factors have been brought to light since the Vau- ghan plan was conceived two years ago. Mr. Jones summed up the feeling of the Metro Plan- ning Board on the matter when he said that Metro was of the opinion that Vaughan was set- ting aside too much industrial and residential land that is diffi- cult to service. Following the meeting with Mr. Jones, Council sat briefly to consider the matter and from the general atmosphere of the discussion it is expected that Vaughan officials will follow the recommendation of the Metro Planning Board. Both Mr. Jones and the Vaugh- an council and planning board will discuss the matter with Vau- ghan’s planning consultant, Dr. E. G. Faludi after which it may be referred to either the Minis- ter of Planning and Development or the Ontario Municipal Board for final consideration. Hail Municipal Water System Dream-Come-True ForRichvaIe East Vaughan Ratepayers Asso- ciation meeting held last Thurs- day night, Oct. 6 at the Richvale Community Centre was well at- tended by interested Vaughan Twp. ratepayers of water Area 1 who finally see their hopes of water in the area moving towards completion. Brian Baile'y read the water by-law to the audience and William J. Norris, Superin- tendent of No. 1 Water Area, Vaughan Township was guest speaker. During the evening, Mr. Nor- ris clarified many points as to cost, installatiqn method and other points regarding the water- mains and the system as a whole. He pointed out that the water rates as outlined in service con- tracts would be valid for the next five years, at which time they would be subject to review. Meters Commenting on a quastion re! garding the installation of water meters, Mr. Norris said “Notifi- cation will be given in advance if meters are to be installed but for the present the flat rate will prevail". “If there is more than one family living in a house there will be an extra charge made" he added. it was announced that farmers will be classed as commercial users of water. Number Streets In order to facilitate the oper- ation of the system, streets in the Water Area will be renumbâ€" ered, the audience learned. each 50 feet will constitute a number under the new plan. It is plan- ned to issue stakes to the prop- erty owners signing up for the service in order that they may plant the stake at, the point where the service connection is required. Mr. Norris advised those present that in the interest of sanitation in connection with the system, no cross-connections will be permitted nor may exist- ing wells be used for waste disâ€" posal purposes. The connect- ion from the watermain to the property line will be of copper. Closing Date October 15. 1955 has been set as the official closing date for applications for connection to the system at the present time. Vaughan Township has authoriz- ed a charge of $200 for any in-- stallations after this date. it is essential that as many consumers as possible’bea connected at the time of the installation of the service. A certain amount of revenue towards the payment of the system will be derived from the fiat-rate charge for consum- ers. However in the event that an insufficient number of people sign contracts for water at pres- ent. there will not be sufficient funds to carry the payments on the system which would prcsent a serious situation. It is for this reason that it is imperative that as many as possible consum- ers sign-up for service before actual work on the mains begins.
