lRICHMOND HILL LIONS’ HALL Monday, Mar. 18 Those are just two of the reasons why it gives me a lot of pleasure when I help a family find a house to call thei" own. That may look good on paper. but I've never seen it work out in practice. People who rent never seem to have that “extra capital that would otherwise be tied up in a house." They simply never get around to saving extra money â€"â€" prob- ably because rents are usually higher than house payments. On the other hand. people who are making payments on a house are. in effect, using a sort of compulsory savings plan that builds up their investment in the house. But aside from all this, home ownership offers hundreds of pleasures that can't be measured in dollars. Certainly, it means responsibilities. too. but they are responsibilities to you and your family â€"- not to some landlord.

I don't think there‘s any ques- tion of that, for rents are always higher, partly because they must cover mainten- ance and other overhead that is paid by the landlord.

While salary increases, 'accord- ing' to the new schedule, could run from $150 to a high of $1,200 this year they will not exceed a maximum of $500. The major change is in allowing the same amount $200. for six years out- side as well as local teaching experience.

All Hours “I’m afraid we'll be stuck with the figure We originally asked for,” stated the Township Soli- citor J. D. Lucas. Mr. Lucas advised Council to issue a debenture for the amount of difference between the auth- orized cost and the anticipated cost, and to dispense with a vote of the ratepayers and have a pub- lic hearing at the Council Chamt- bers.’ He also advised seeking the approval of the, Department of Highways. getting an estimate of the amount required from the Concession, which must be wid- ened, are still to be constructed. New estimates are to be asked for on these items. Mr. DeaCOn felt any cost over those approv- ed previously by the Municipal Board should be,debentured for instead of being put on current taxes. Councillor Mrs. James asked, “ ould the Municipal Board be so stuffy as to hold us to 1954 figures.” The Deacon bridge was built for $31,440.00 and the original estimate was $15,000.00, for ex- ample. The bridges’ amended esâ€" timates amounted to $192,600.00 of which $160,816.00 has been paid out. There is still a $31,783. carryover. Tvgho More grldges To Be Built Two More Bridges To Be Built The Woodland Park bridge and the Caghel B_rridAge on the 6th in an up~to-date manner and that the German Mills bridge had had to be re-aligned and the cost had been almost double the original estimate. (This bridge was built for $63,588.00. Its original estim- atz‘was set at $40,000.00.) Deputy-Reeve Deacon recalled that. the Department of Highways hgd insistedfhe bridges be built .~-- “"r“‘d -vvv'v vnktllulllcu- “It was difficult to accurately estimate the amount needed to repair the damage to the bridges during Hurri- cane Hazel. We had only six months in 1954 to do this. We made our estimates and these Were approved by the Municipal Board. We can’t raise more to finance these cap- ital expenditures than has been approved by the Board," accented Reeve W. L. Clark. “We are lucky the over-ex- penditure is not more than it is,” he said. Markham Township’s newly found $20,000.00 deficit can be traced to the township’s bridge rebuilding program, stated Deputy-Reeve and member of Finance Committee Donald Deacon at the Monday night meeting of Markham Township Council. “We had to absorb in our current ac- count all bridge building balance which went over the by- law limit,” the Deputy-Reeve explained.

We will ask Mr. Turner to have Mr. Pierce, the regional director, contact Mr. Lucas in regard to preparing a by-law.

He asked the Council to budget at least $1,000.00 a year toward Civil Defense. Mr. Lucas asked Mr. Deacon toward the close of the discus- sion, “Do you feel you can really sell the debenture issue for these bridges?” Without hesitation Mr. Deacon answered, “Yes, we can sell them." Asks For Civil Defense By~Law a,“ n, J Council decided to leave the procedure with the Road Com- mittee, Mr. Lucas, and the en- gineer. engineer of the township. and finding out the amount of money already spent from the Clerk. in regard to the bridges in question. Mr. Eric Marsdon of the Prov- incial Highway Engineer, was present and in discussing the matter stated, “We anticipate you‘ll be going ahead with these bridges and we'll try to expedite matters so you can get a supple- mentary byâ€"law approved to pro- ceed with them before the norm- a1 by-law for the township roads comes up_ in April.” Sq.

Deputleeeve Deacon was of the opinion the matter of the water coverage of the entire Don- caster area could be ironed out without the necessity of approa- ching the North York Township Council. Reeve Clark said. “It would be unfortunate to hold up the project now. Hope we can iron it out." Mrs. James, when asked by the Reeve, said she would have a report on sidewalks in the town- ship after/the "water situation” was cleared up and the engineer was free to accompany her on a tour of inspection. Mr. Vacher will appear before the Council in two weeks time at the regular meeting to discuss a plan of subdivision. Of five assessment appeals presented to the Municipal Board three appeals were upheld, the Council was informed by letter. Short Discussion 011 Water Plan On motion of Councillor L. Mumberson, seconded by Counâ€" cillor H. Cosburn. there will be a $100.00 raise for each rank of tho Polibe_ Depazjtment for 1957. On motion of Councillor Cos- burn, seconded by Mr. Deacon, Nelson Boynton was appointed Weed Inspector at a salary of $1.20 per hour plus 10¢ per mile milage. Raise for Police Assessors R. Thonfpsén and B. Cable were given mileage for the year at $500.00 each.

The accom- plishments of our country today are just a forecast of what is to come.” These statements were made by Mr. S. Symonds. of Underwood Business Machines, at McConaghy Open House a week ago.

"9 _ câ€"r Our challenge in our schools will then be to instil in these young minds basic knowledge, so- cial understandings, honest ef- fort and the fact that a job worth doing is worth doing right. Then 5 opportunity presents itself ghese young persons will take their part in Canada’s future with a sense of contribution and with a feeling of being their best and doing their best. It is evident from Mr. Symonds that a pupil should remain and get as much as possible from our school before moving to industry. Industry is geared to take our pupils at the completion of their achieVement level. Stopping school prior to this leaves a gap between school and industry. This gap is what causes the pupil to become lost in the process of finding his proper place. Industry is prepareddo spend up to $15,- 000 on a pupil who has followed this pattern‘without leaving s gap In the schools, the child will be taught Work habits and social un- derstanding which will give him the keys to unlock the opportun- ities as they come. This basic knowledge learned by the child will provide him with the back- ground for thinking through and mastering problems and these successes then serve as stepping- stones to future accomplishments. , Automation opens to the girls a great field of clerical help â€" to the boys 3 wide field ranging from clerical to service person- nel, to engineers, to opportunity unlimited. With these thoughts in mind, the speaker went on to consider how education fits into this ad- vanced stage of education. Sure- ly this present period of automa- tion can be a' great challenge to the educationist. The challenge and responsibility must be ac~ cepted by our homes and our schools. . that today it means the electric eye. the teletype, etc., we may seriously consider what will be next. Realizing what advances have been made from the days of the wooden mallet \to today's great accomplishments, we should be in a position to know that great strides are in store for the future." i0 4x8 4x8 4x8 4x8 Per Sheet 1.76 3.20 3.04 4.48 5.76
