For sometime Coun~ oil has been considering the purchase of the old mill and surrounding property for park purposes. If Metro handled the deal, half of the total cost would be paid by the province and the balance woult be divided am- ong the member municipalit- ie making up the conservat- ion authority. If Metro han~ dled the arrangements one stip~ ulation would be that the park must be open to everyone. Metro would also be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the park. The total purchase price of the property has been se~ at $27,500. It is located on the sixth concession at Almira. Before approving the project Council wants to know what other projects‘ of a similar nat- urc Metro has planned for the coming year. Markham would be bound to share in the cost of park‘projects in other Metro m‘unicipalities. Now, in Richmond Hill there is a “seed-man" who is also The Ontario and Quebec Gardener. known to thousands of listeners over the CBC network and con- sidered by amateur and profess- ional gardeners as a personal and interested friend. He is Bob Keith of Keith's Seeds. and he has been offering gardening ad- vice over the air at 10:15 am. Sunday mornings for the past 13 years. This is just three yea_rs short of the time he moved with his family to Centre St. in Rich- mond Hill. by: Mrs. H. G. Robertson When the seed catalogues come off the press -â€" can Spring be far behind? Most garden-lovers will agree that so far as they are concerned Winter’s back is broken the day the first seed magazine arrives in the mail. True, G. L.’s may continue to wade through snow, ice and slush, but the ardent gardener is above and beyond these frigid elements â€" for his inward eye beholds danc- ing flowers, giant vegetables and dew-kissed blossoms (as pictured ‘in color’ in his precious catalogue) â€"and he knows with certainty that Spring is truly just around the corner. Council gave first reading to a by-law designed to halt the pracâ€" tice of dividing 10~acre plots up into long narrow 'strips. There are now lots in the township that are 100 feet by 3,000 feet. It was felt this type of development is a detriment to good planning. Assistant Assessor H. B. Cable has requested an extra $100.00 car allowance in the coming year. Council had earlier set his 1957 car allowance at $300.00. Mr. Cab- le stated that in a six month per- iod in 1956 he spent $238.00 alone on the operation of his car while on township business. The Fin- ance Committee will confer with Assessment Commissioner A. Fleming 0n the matter. “The Ontario And Quebec Gardener” Word was received from the province that it is giving immed- iate consideration to a request from the fringe municipalities for representation on the Metropoli- tan Planning Board. “This is cer- tainly a step in the right direc- tion”. remarked Councillor Mrs. James. Recently the municipal- ities located on the borders of the Metropolitan area had peti- tioned the provincial government that they either be given repre- sentation on the Metropolitan Planning Board, or the authority of the Board be restricted. Council has confirmed the ap- pointment of Charles James of Stoufiville as Warble Fly Inspec- tor for the coming year. Mr. James will be paid at the rate of $120 an hour plus mileage. _Markham's share in the cost of membership in the Metropoli- ‘tan Region Conservation Auth- ority for the coming year has been ’set at $2,676. The members expressed re- gret at the news that Ward 2 Councillor Lawson Mumberson will be absent from Council for the next 3 weeks due to illness.

This was a memor- able experience during which Bob attended classes and lec- tures as well as gaining practical gardening experience. Listeners to Mr. Keith’s popu- lar radio program tune in from all over Eastern Canada and queries on garden information have been received from as far north as Sioux Lookout, south to New York State and Vermont and east to Quebec. Every letter re~ ceived by Mr. Keith is answered personally by mail - sometimes an outstanding or popular request is also included in the radio broad~ cast, for the benefit of other gar- deners. Mr. Keith concluded our interâ€" esting interview by offering this advice which new residents will find most helpful in planning this year‘s garden. “If heavy soil (such as we have in this district) gets sufficient humus and ferti~ lizer, one can grow excellent flow- ers and vegetables.

On Tuesday, March 11, a meet- ing was held to discuss the pos- sible formation of a new Boys' Club in Richmond Hill. The idea was originally sparked by George Styan who called on Mr. and Mrs. E. Butlin for assistance in organizing a club to serve a growing need in the community. Mr. R. C. Shaw of Markham at- tended the meeting as represent- ative of the Boys’ Clubs of Can- ada and gave a great deal of helipful advice drawn from wide experience in this field. Chief Constable Robbins agreed that such a group would serve a use- ful purpose here and volunteered his assistance and support. The Kinsmen Club was ably repres- ented by Jack Hardy and James Bunn, who suggested that such a project might be shared by all service clubs, council, educators and police, thereby making it a true community venture. ., Jim Pollardeen Tomlin and Don Brillinger offered support from the teen- -agers in Richmond H'l and assured the group that th re would be no scarcity of volunteer assistance when need- ed. Another excellent source of support which was enlisted by George Styan, at Northern Voca- tional School was represented by Ron Ship, Murray Wilson and Don MeakeruThese young men are all members of “Hi- Y" and have had considerable experience in club work and leadership The aim of the Club is to train boys to be better citizens and to lead a constructive, creative life in their communiy. The program has five aims: physical, creative, social, educational and spiritual \and is designed to appeal to every boy. NORTH YORK : A resident has charged that the township septic tank by-law is useless. Plan To Form Boys’ Club GEORGINA TWP. : Council has adopted a $40,000 roadbudget for the municipality this year. Further discussion of this pro- ject will be carried to a meeting with the Richmond Hill Recrea- tion Committee on March 28. The new public school in Richmond Hill will be call- ed “Beverley Acres School" for the district in which it is located. This was decided last Thursday evening at the r8gular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Public School Board. Chairman Robt. Ross made the proposal that the school be named for the area or street on which it is built. “The general taxpayers now as a whole don’t know the persons who have rendered service to education in this community in the past,” com- mented Mr. Ross. The motion was moved by Trustee L. Clement that the name of the new school he "Beverley Acres”. He said the district was new and there would be no identifica- tion with anyone. Trustee Mrs. Virginia Sully seconded the motion, which passed un- am’_rnously. Trustee J. Rabinowitch was of the opinion it was a fine opportunity to commemorate the name of a person deserv- ing the honor. The Board had allocated $300.00 in the original es- timates of the construction costs to have aluminum iet- ters placed on the school, bearing the name. This is to be done shortly by the ar- chitects, Jackson and Ypes.
