BURT KERLEY, Mgr. Bldg. '7 - Bayview Court Sheppard Ave; E,, Willowdale It was brought to the attention of the Board that Public School Inspector Maynard Hallman was desirous of knowing whether or not the Area Trustees were sat‘L isfied with the school sites mark~ ed on.the proposed plan of the Spring Valley subdivision. “With some small changes I believe we are satisfied". said Chairman Ladell. Selkirk Subdivision Discussed "Well I ceEtainly tHiixfi you'd better go to Vaughan Council. Immediately,” said Trustee Bick. , ‘__ . . u...“ ‘Auauyv ”ILA. "Ehaifinifi'Laden agreed to do so when the others concurred in this opinion. "Well the School Board hasn't got to approve the subdivision," pointed out Trustee Taylor later. It was mentioned that this was a contentious point, regarding whether or not a school board could hold up a subdivision al- ready approved by a municipal- ity. "Get To Vaughan” - Blck “If the township hasn't the assessment to issue debentures for necessary expenditures for a big group of new homes, the township will go bankrupt bring- ing it in," was the opinion of Trustee Taylor. “I've heard the subdivider will be asked to build the homes over a five or six year period, to that I say bunk. If they start this subdivision they'll finish building it as quickly as possible, as it‘s in their own fin- ancial interest,” Mr. Taylor con- cluded. “C‘oiqld rBankrupt Township” “I feel that the community is going to be penalized with such a large subdivision as this coming in,” stated Chairman Ladell. “Township officials have assured me they won’t hurry this proposed subdivision, however,” he continued. Chairman W. A. Ladell of Markham and Vaughan Township School Area No. 1 with the approval of the en- tire Board will request a meeting with Vaughan Town- ship Council shortly to talk over Vaughan’s subdivision policy, especially in regard to the proposed Spring Valley development of approximately 2,100 homes at Thornhill. The five-man Board (including Chairman Ladell, and Trus- tees N. Hicks, R. Bick, J. Taylor, and A. Parker) were in agreement at Tuesday night's regular monthly meeting at Thornhill Public School that such a subdivision could strain the economy of Vaughan Township at the present time.

Other Business "I'd say to get land at cost is the most important thing," stat- ed Trustee Taylor. “If you take anything from the subdivider you lose your provincial grant," he further observed. “You can't take land or money if you don’t need it," said Trus- tee Hicks. Overall subdivision policy was discussed, especially where school accommodation was necâ€" essary but no new school site was needed. “One subdivision could get everything already provided; another might be caught .with providing everything", comment- ed Chairman Ladell. a'letter," cautioned Trustee Tay- lor. “I still feel we.should do so for the record." answered Chair- man Ladell.

Mr. Mc- Diarmid compared the past with the present research on Social Studies. He stated, “It is signifi- cant that after both wars, inter- est in education increased." Television has developed a wider range and especially the depth of knowledge in children. Social Studies takes in activities and attitudes and parents can help their children to become well adjusted and better developed in self-reliance by giving them par~ ticipation in home afi'airs and more responsibility. - V_.,-..-..._y. Social Studies should be taught with meaning and when dren become enthused about Trustee Virginia Sully spoke on public relations. She suggest- ed that, “since parents are the ones most concerned, Home and School is the logical place to start public relations." Trustee Arthur Spence outlined the necessary operations of the Bud- get System. He illustrated how the category system was set-up regarding teaching qualifications with reference to years of ex- perience, amount of training and scholastic attainments. He re- fered to government grants, ur- ban assessments and renovation of McConaghy School.

Mr. Mosher assumed the leadership of the Vaughan Force in the spring of 1955. Having been on the Toronto police force for many years, he came to Vaughan from Sutton ,where he had been chief of police. In recent months, however, consider- able internal friction has arisen in the Vaughan Police Department. In a surprise move this past week. Chief R. C. Moâ€" sher of the Vaughan Town- ship Police Force tendered his resignation. Chairman of the Police Committee, Coun- cillor Jesse A. Bryson. an- nounces that council has ac- cepted the resignation. In commenting on the matter, Mr. Bryson said, ‘Council's problems in this respect are numerous, but we are confi- dent that most of them can be ironed out." Reeve John Perry had no comment on the resignation. Vaughan Twp. Chief M osher Resigns R. C. MOSHER A branch of Unit of the Society has “We give them responsibilities through classroom activities," Mr. McDiarmid said. “When children build a Wigwam, or as- semble a report in a committee, they are learning how to work together, as well as learning how to make a Wigwam or report. In the last analysis,'if this brings self-reliance, the purposes of the school will have been fulfilled.” The interests of children can be stimulated by encouragement and help in their progress through books, discussions. plays, museums and other realistic ways and by letting them attempt con- structive things and learning through experience. He explained that Grade 3 deals with the Home; Grade 2, the neighbourhood; Grade 3, Kinds of houses and other build- ings; Grade 4, families in other lands, transportation, buildings, clothing. From there on Social Studies deals with topics more akin to history. Since children by now have developed a his- torical sense. something, parents should be in- terested and active in whatever ideas or imaginations they may have and follow them through. Substantiating his claim that unimproved industrial sites were discouraging industry, Mr. Bailey cited a case on Centre Street where a prospective buyer was planning to locate three 10,000 sq. ft. factories. He said that though road problems con- cerning the Mills property, sew- age disposal difficulties and the fact that the Centre Street level croSsing would not be improved, Mr. Bailey said that the drain- age difficulties experienced when several Markham residents at- tempted to block off the natural watercourse and the reluctance of council to give temporary re- lief cost his firm $75,000 and did not gain one penny for the town. For this reason. he em- phasized that the profits from Beverley Acres were now located in the sale of the industrial land. “In other words, we are land poor." he noted.‘ Addressing Richmond Hill 1couhcil last Monday evening, John A. Bailey laid the lack of industrial development squarely at the feet of council'saying that the lack of concrete action to permit provision of services in the industrial area had lost scores of prospects. He contend- ed that the services were not in because council was not willing to give him the necessary sup- port and authority to go ahead with the project. In a prepared address, Mr, Bailey outlined the history of his association with the municipality from the time he first became associated with Richmond Hill three years ago, He told council that the “get tough" attitude with subdividers was not new adding that it originated with the first development in the town. He complimented previ- ous councils on their serious constructive manner of approach- ing development, however. Heavy Loss .

Councillor James Haggart noted that if the changes remain- ed as an amendment there would be some back protection for res- idents in the matter of rented basement apartments. “With the new by-law going into effect now. this back protection will be lost", said Mr. 'Haggart, Howev- er, it was the general feeling that further objections could be presented when the matter comes before the Ontario Munic- ipal Board for a hearing. Last Monday evening, Rich- mond Hill town council gave the third realing to the new revised zoning byâ€"law. The first by-law was drawn up last year, but a number of amendments were added and consequently a whole new by-law has been compiled. Providing the two municipal- ities agree on the project it will likely be preceeded with. The estimate cost of each project is about $7,000.

Mr. Bailréy went on to s: “a prudent prospect is not ested in paper designs nf “We have had endless meet- ings with real estate brokers, in- dustrial commissions and pros- pective purchasers. ~but have been unable to overcome the fact that under the present town policy of attempting to develop industrial land on local improve- ment basis ,that the land is not worth considering by a knowl- edgeable industry at any price," emphasized the speaker. -u.....-....u._, . Mr. Bailey added that the real estate broker lost his commission and the Bailey firm paid the damages. He said that he had hoped this prospect would serve as an inducement to additional industries but he‘ added “the hopeless railway crossing and ap- proaches discouraged them."
