HOOVER, Returning Officer Eric Vote FOR 33 Richmond Recent news items reported ap- prehension and fining of several “New Canadians" for shooting songbirds. None of us realize that most birds which migrate through southern Europe to Africa each fall are hunted for food and are commonly sold in stores and marâ€" ket places. At one time this kind of hunting went on in North Am- erica. In 1900. however. a group of biologists drafted the “Migra- tion Birds’ Convention Act” which gave protection to most birds which nested or migrated through North America. Each fall there are open seaâ€" sons on some waterfowl and up- land game birds, such as pheas- ants-and grouse. Last year ther'e was a trial open season on Mourning Doves which was not repeated this year. Most other birds cannot be hunted or mol- ested. â€" until the evening of Thursâ€" day. November 29, at 8.30 pm. The meeting will be held in the Farmers‘ Market at Thornhill. It is concerned primarily with the cost of education in Township School Area No. 1. Invitations are being given to all members of both the Area School Board and Markham Council, together with a list of some halt-dozen ques- tions on such topics as the recent dispute over debentures for the Ross Dean School. It is expected that most members of both bod- ies will be present, prepared to answer these and other relevant questions. It is also believed that there will be a large turn-out of taxpayers from both Highland Park and Doncaster. Residents of both districts are very concerned over the apparent strained re- lations between their council and school board over the question of the Ross Dean School. and many have expreSSed. themselves as be- ing in favour of a public meeting which will expose the true fact On October 25 an Arctic Three- toed Woodpecker was killed by flying into a window at thehome of Mrs. H. D. Currie, on Arnold Crescent. This bird is a rare one, that comes down from the North sometimes, in the fall or winter. It has a bright yellow patch on its head, a shiny black back. and white below with ladder marks Ratepayers’ Meeting All persons who buy a hunting license should acquaint them~ selves with the regulations pro- tecting more birds and animals before they spend a day in the field. October Bird Observations Last week, a meeting of rate- payers from the Highland Park district was announced. This meeting, sponsored by the Highâ€" land Park Association, and sup- ported unofficially by the Donâ€" caster Ratepayers' Association, has‘ been postponed for one week The tense situations in each act of the drama High Ground build up to a shattering climax. Moreover special talent, train~ ing and directing will give the ‘audiences of the Curtain Club one of the most exciting plays in its history. Three roles offer a particular challenge to the actor. They are that of the mentally re- tarded, the average professional man and an officer of the law. In the first case the actor must not overplay the part. He must win and hold his audience by a sym~ pathetic portrayal of the charac~ ter. The convincing manner in which Michael Barta imperson- ates Willy has the sure tuch of the professional.

This bird has a light phase as well» as this dark phase. The tail is white with a dark brown band. One way of recognizing this bird is his ha- bit of hovering with beating wings like the Kingfisher. He too is a winter visitor from the North. Mrs. Kerslake has announced that, instead of issuing a written report card, she will give an oral report on each child to the par- ents concerned. She will report to a few parents at a time. Polio Vaccination On October 27, another North- ern bird broke its neck by flying into a wire fence. This occurred at Mr. J. Large’s.

Kindergarten On Tuesday, November 13, a meeting of district mothers was held at St. Patrick’s Anglican Church on Lillian Street, Wi11~ owdale. to discuss the progress of the-kindergarten which is held there four days a week. Among the proposals put forward was that of a parent education pro- gram, with guest speakers and panel discussions. More mothers are neded to help on Thursdays. It was suggested that two of the district fathers might usefully serve on he executive, if any can be persuaded to volunteer. Mr. Tim reports a Rough-Leg- ged ‘Haka seen across from the Bil: Naturalists in black on its sides. It Is gen- erally seen in dead or dying pine areas, and it usually attacks pine trees. It flakes off the bark in a circular area and then bores one or more holes in the circle and draws out grubs.

Finally the of- ficer of the law is in this play a real person, not a stock charac- ter. Duncan Gillard's interpreta- tion is as original as it is re- freshmg. The refreshments thavt made a pleasant conclusion to the meet- ing were served by members of the Mothers‘ Auxiliary. This led to earnest discussion of ways and means for develop- ing more active interest by parâ€" ents in the scouts and cubs. A group committee comprised of Howard Atkinson, Al Aurey, Jack Brodrick, Lew Clement, Bruce Houle. Bill Leishman. Ross Per- cival, Bill Smith.

That’s all the resolution re- quests,” he explained. “It would be wrong for us to support a resolution which names two municipalities, but only has the support of the one," added Reeve Edward Wrightman of Newmarket. “I agree with Mr. Tomlin that the two municipali- ties concerned must get together first and reach an agreement." The resolution was lost. HOLLAND LANDING : A new wing has been opened at the Of- fice Specialty Company plant here. DRAPERY MADE FREE In speaking of the highlights of the recent Convention at the Royal York Hotel, Mr. Cowling outlined the new client service-â€" the institution of a 24-hour tele- phone network linking 2,000 members of the Association and stressing the growing importance of the permanently established independent insurance agent in each commuity, his knowledge of local conditions and activities and being ever ready to give honest. capable service in case of disaster. Various matters concerning in- surance coverages throughout York County were discussed by Pres. Kirby Brock who annuonc- ed that the next meeting would again be held in Richmond Hill on‘Tuesday, December 11th, “The importance of insurance, in all branches, fire, automobile and casualty protection warrants the status of professional men." Alf Hr Cowling M.L.A. told the York Chapter of the Ontario In- surance Agents’ Association at a meeting in Richmond Hill last week. Insurance Men In New Client Service “This is not something the townships should go into at this point," argued Mr. L‘eMasurier. “It should be a neutral committee that investigates the situation and makes its ecommendations. Then it will be up to the municipalities to dissuss it. All this resolution calls for is the naming of a con- sultative committee to get in- formation about the educational situation in Markham and Vau- ‘This wasn't a selfish act,” re- plied Mr. Rutherford. “It was just that Vaughan hasn’t dis- cussed the matter." Neutral Committee “This is not a recommendation made by Markham township," said Mr. LeMasurier. “This sugâ€" gestion came from the Public School inspector. Perhaps be- cause of the selfish interest of one municipality, it has not ap- proved it." ‘ “I can’t agree with it," Mr. Rutherford replied. “When Vau- ghan council did not support it. No decision was reached on this resolution," he explained. Deputy Reeve A. H. Ruther- ford of Vaughan township told county council that Vaughan council had received a copy of this resolution from Markham. “It was discussed but since we felt that we didn't have enough information we did not make a recommendation," he said. "I can't support a' resolution proposed by one municipality which mentions another, in which it does not concur.” said Deputy Reeve Kenneth Tomlin of Rich- mond Hill. “If only one munici- pality is in favor of the consultaâ€" tive committee it should name Markham Township and not Markham and Vaughan. we can’t adopt this resolution unless it has the complete support of both muunicipalities," he added. “No Decision” â€"â€" Rutherford “We need the committee to in- vestigate the educational situa~ tion in our townships.” Mr. Le- masurier said. "We have the con- dition where. in my opinion, the costs in one public school area are completely out of line." A request that a consultative committee be named to investigate the possibility of Vaughan and Markham town- ships forming separate Boards of Education was refused by York County council last week. The request was made by Reeve Alf LeMasurier and Deputy Reeve W. L. Clark of Markham township. Mr. LeMasurier explained that the recommendation for such a committee had come from the Public School In- spector who advised that the consultative committee con- sist of the Inpector,, one person to be appointed by the Mini’ter of Education and three others, to be named by York County Council.
