Present Awards To 4H Girls The Board of Educatitn for North York is considering clos- ing Elia School at the end of the school term next June. In the fast-growing community, it is felt that the education needs of the children would be better served elsewhere, perhaps at the new Beverley Hills School in Downs- view. mm First Building Early 1800': 7 _ The first school was built in the early 1800's by the settlers in the district. In 1839 when the townships were laid out in school sections, Elia. along with Edge- ley and Emery. became school centres. At first the teaching was in German. but gradually merg- ed into English. The present solid brick build- ing. 35 ft by 50 ft.. replaces a former frame building situated on the west side of Keele St. and now occupied by the Macklem family. The old school was declared inadequate in 1872 by the inspec- tor Mr. Jas. Hodgson, and he in- structed the Trustees to secure a new site and erect a new build- ing as soon as possible. The trustees, Abraham Hoover. Wm. Jackson and Jacob Snider pur- chased land from William Jack- son. who loaned money in the sums of $812.00 and $56.00 for erection of the new school. This money was paid off in. three years by direct taxation on prop- erty in the section. The construc- tion was under the supervision of John Riddell, a local builder Among the business items dis- cussed at a meeting of the Vau- ghan Federation of Agriculture held in Edgeley Community Hall on Wednesday evening.

Jim Spencer, president of the Vaughan Federation, on be- half of Edgeley Farm Forum pre- sented the resolution to the Federation membership who ap- proved it. The resolution is as follows: "The Farmers of Ontario are impressed with the protec- tion and benefits to employers and employees coming under the Workmen‘s Compensation Act, as it is operated by the board in Ontario. who. along with his sons, built various schools. churches and farm buildings in the surrounding community.

A secretary- treasurer was hired by the Board of Business Administrat- ors. The last secretary, J. James Buchanan. served in that capac- ity for 17 years. Special Easter music was giv- en by the choirs in all the churches and at Edgeley, new choir gowns. purchased by the choir with the assistance of the Women’s Association were dedi- cated and worn for the first time.

A community Good Friday service was held in Maple United Church on Friday morning, the congregations of St. Andrew‘s Presbyterian and Maple United co-operating in commemorating the death of Jesus Christ. Rev. Meeting with Vaughan Township Planning Director J. Swalm on the afternoon of March 28, Maple Trustees agreed on a policy regarding development in the village for the present time. The Trustees agreed unanimously that for the present, development at Maple should be confined within the actual village limits. It was decided that the Trustees should set some definite policy regarding expan- sion and development in view of the fact that potential developers owning property to the south of the village have made some inquiries regarding development possibilities. It was the general concensus of opinion that development bor- dering Maple but not within the actual limits would present problems and the Trustees ag- reed that in the interest of good planning it was better to fill out the present core before permit- ting spotted developments ar- ound the village. Proposed Development One of the main topics around which the discussion hinged and one which resulted in a general policy for future development A budget toward the cost of township road signs was voted at a meeting of the Vaughan Federation of Agriculture on Wednesday night, March 28, in Edgeley Community Hall. Be- tween 55 and 60 signs would be required to properly cover the township, Federation president Jim Spencer stated. Mrs. R. J. Darlington moved that the Fed- eration approach a local com- mercial artist for an estimate. St. Stephen’s Anglican Church held a 8 am. Communion Servv ice conducted by Rev. D. C. 1-1.

The choir under the direction of Dr. J. J. Shep- pard sang three Easter numbers, “He is Risen” by Simper, “With a Voice of Singing” by Shaw and “King of Kings" by Simper.

Greenstein of oronto for the development of 38.33 acres. The .property known as the Jarrett farm, lies in Lot 21. just south of the Com- munity Centre property. The tentative plan indicated 85 lots 75’ by 135'. Emphasizing the problems that have been incurred in Maple Grove. regarding lack of street lighting and sidewalks. Trustee Chairman Kirby Brock urged the Trustees to be cautious in permitting further developments which did not include all servic- es. Trustee Andrew Snider com- mented that the feeling in‘ Maple Grove was‘ that if hard surfaced roads were installed there would not be the need for sidewalks. Referring to school accommoda- tion. Trustee John Neufeld ques- tioned if there was any foundaâ€" tion to reports of Subdividers donating schools. Mr. Swalm re- plied that he had heard of such gifts but had never had any in- stances come before him. Trustee John Neufeld ques- tioned whether the subdivider had made any proposals regard- ing the type of development. Planning Director J. Swalm said that the plan had just been sub- mitted and had not yet been dis- cussed by the Township Plan- ning Board.

Portrays gracious living in bright spring Water Trustee Brock questioned the possibility of securing water from a new subdivision, but it was pointed out that in such in- stances an iron-bound agreement should be made to avoid a sub- divider developing a well to meet only the needs of his own devel- opment and possibly jeopardiz- ing present domestic sources. In such an instance, the village would be obliged to float deben- tures and go into heavy debt to further develop the water sup- ply. Set Polio! As a result of the discussion on the Freedman-Greensteln de- velopment, the Trustees reached a number of conclusions which will likely become part of stand- ard agreement for subdivision in the village. It was agreed that the subdivider should provide paved roads with gutter and curb in addition to storm sewers. Street lights would also be re- quired. In the case of this par- ticular property the Trustees felt that they would have to insist on a well developed to half a-mill- ion gallons daily capacity along with lote of I0,000 square feet area. It was further decided that the developer should change the position of the land to be deeded to the township so that it would about the community centre pro- perty making it more useful. A deletion of the commercial area was also agreed on. Concluding the discussion. Trustee Chairman Kirby Brock stressed that while such regula- tions on development might ap- pear on the surface to be rather stringent, they were necessary in order that, as the village devel- oped and services became more and more necessary, the high cost of extending them over the whole village would not have to be borne by taxpayers.
