It appeared dif- ficult to decide if the town or the subdivider should do this jwork. A motion was passed calling on the new executive to com- municate with council immed- iately re the roads and ditches and this communication will be followed up by a delegation to council at the first possible meet- iv'.

Such a committee would consist of representatives from the Depart- ment of Education, appointees by the township councils, and the public school inspector New School Area The inspector wondered if the thinking of the councils led to the formation of boards of edu- cation. He stated if so a consult- ing committee appointed by the Mr. Hallman answered, “The referee has wide powers In cre- ating a new area as recently done in Markham for example, I had a public hearing and then a meeting with the various Boards of Trustees who came to an ag- reement. And then on the basis of that agreement I sub- mitted a report to the (Minister of Education, I then return to the municipality with the Minis- ter's approval and it then becomes mandatory. I feel in this case the referee would seek advice from the councils and would try to get as much unanimity as pos- sible." Mr. Hallman concluded. ' Mr. Hallman further comment- ed that a marriage of sections is usually happier than a divorce. He stated Markham would have equity in the six schools located in the township of Vaughan (there are two area schools on the Markham side), and that Vaughan township would have to ,issue debentures to satisfy the equity. In mentioning new units of administration that would have to come into effect in the two townships, Mr. Hallman said he would be reluctant to advise the councils to dissolve if the three man type of school board, in existence before the area was set up, would result. Mr. Hall- man said he considered this a substandard form of ed- ucation as a large admmistration unit with enough assessment and children was needed in or- der to provide special classes. He also mentioned that he consid- ered the junior and senior form of school,administration excell- ent and that the implementation of this depended on concentra- tion of population as did kinder- gartens. "My job would be largely the distribution of assets,” said Mr. Hallman. "However, there must be an administrative unit agreed upon in your bylaw.m Reeve W. L. Clark of Mark- ham expressed the opininn Mark- ham was not ready to set up a board of education but its part would continue as a separate area. Councillor Mrs. K. James of Markham commented. “We certainly don’t want any‘three member board of trustees." Reeve John Perry of Vaughan asked, “As a referee would you want to know our immediate plans." “I can’t see Markham or Vau- ghan wanting a board uf educa- tion." stated Mr. Kirk. "And there is no thought of a three man board of trustees. My idea is to take our part of the area and add to it." Mr. Hallman said, “I hope education can be improved by further school areas. They are in my opinion the most efficient units of administration. Fifty pot cent of school administration in Ontario now is done by school areas." Mrs. James. in referring to Mr. Hallman's remarks about a county consulting committee, stated. “I wouldn’t want to go to the county again and say we did not get enough as we had to in the dissolving of the Richmond Hill Union School Section this year by a board of arbitration.” “The mechanics of this are In the by-laws passed by both councils must be included the form of administration they in- tend to have for their part of the dissolved area. Mr. Hallman said the division of assets would be by a referee, probably the public school inspector, and not by a board of arbitration as in the dissolving of a union school section, the mechanics are thus different. “When the referee makes a de- cision does he present if first to the school board, the council or the provincial government?” ask- ed lJeputy-reeve R. Kirk of Vau- ghan. Mr. Hallman emphasized the fact the Minister of Education \xould prefer that an amicable agreement had been reached be- tween the two councils before he considered the dissolution. The Inspector also stated the Minis- ter of Education had advised him his concern is that assent or dis- sent “the will of the people be carried out.” The decision of the Minister is final and there can be no appeal of this decision. ‘ In a special meeting held Tuesday evening in the Vaughan Township Council Chambers between the Coun- cils of Markham and Vaughan a momentous decision af- fecting 1946 public school children in School Area No. 1 Markham and Vaughan was reached with the unanimous decision on the part of both councils to agree to dissolve the area in 1958. Separate resolutions are to be drawn up by each council and will be exchanged for discussion. These resolutions are then to be presented to the newly elected councils of 1958 with the recommendation that a by-law be passed and given third reading before the first of July 1958, assenting to the dissolution. These byâ€"laws will then be forwarded by the Public School Inspector for the area, Maynard Hallman, to the Minister of Edu- cation. - Markham & Vaughan Councils Agree To Dissolution Of School Area No. I AI Joint Meeting .gi‘ox. . a .h JACKPOT'52 The first annual Pioneer Fes- tival to be held under the spon- sor ship of the Metropolitan Tor- onto & Region Conservation Au- thority will take place Saturday, October 5, on the grounds of the Dalziel Conservation Area in subrrban North York Township.

Mr. Barth first started in a dry cleaning plant at 16 years of age. For the .next 10 years he gathered a great deal of experience working for such companies as Toronto Launderers, New Method, and United De Forest. At 26 he was {for six years a sales represent- .ative for Canadian Hoffman ,Laundry Machinery. On leaving Jthis concern, Mr. Barth started up his own company, which later amalgamated with .the Dalex Company distributors of Dry cleaning and Laundry Machinery. With this wealth of knowledge and et'perienoe, Mr. Barth sold this interest in the Dalex Com- ‘pany, setting up his own modern plant in Richmond Hill .

We want to in- sure an agreement that’ does not leave empty classrooms." Reeve Perry wondered if the referee might decide on a pro- cedure that in the eyes of some people in one township was not good. “We have to consider how it will affect the mill rate in either township,” said Mr. Kirk. different, it is not for a board of arbitration,” Mr. Hallman as- sured Mrs. James. The date for the dissolution, if it were to be passed by both councils and the Minister of Ed- ucation by the first of July, 1958, would be Der‘ember 31. 1958. In addition. there will be guided tours of the Pioneer Mus- eum, situated on the conserva- tion area, and described by lead- ing US. and Canadian historical cfficials as being one of the fin- est collections of pioneer equip- ment in North America. Visitors to the festival will be able to feast upon such delights as barbecued pork, pioneer-style apple pie and Canadian cheese plus authentic apple cider. \food carvings and dolls. old- tlme music and square dancing. According to A. H. Richardson, chairman of the Authority, it is expected that the festival will become an annual event. With this wealth of knowledge and et'perien-‘e, Mr. Barth sold his interest in the Dalex Com- pany, setting up his own modern plant in Richmond Hill . During the two days of “Open House" will be quite a few sur- prises, door prizes, and gifts for the children. “Parents in the area are on the verge of hysteria. It will be worse if they think we are go- ing to revert to potbellied stoves and inferior teachers. It was the parents banding together in the first place that started the area,” she added. a, lower standard of education would evolve. “You are going to form an area in your own township, I don’t see how you can feel standards would be IOWered,” she stated. 52 STARTING TIME-8 PM.

Mr. Leonard May, District Commissioner, spoke briefly, ad- vising the group of the steps that were being taken to organize dis- trict activities, and that the pur- pose of the meeting was to bring out the scouters’ ideas of what district activities are needed. Also, he announced a contest open to all groups to design a new badge for York Summit Dis- trict to replace the present York Central badge. (The contest clos- es October 16 and entries should he sent to the District Secretary, Box 376 Richvale, by hat date). The meeting then broke up in- to small discussion groups of scoutmasters and cubmasters which gave each leader an op- portunity to voice his or her op- inions on the need for leaders’ training courses and further ses- sions to exchange ideas and solve problems that arise in run- ning the troops and packs; on the way cub rallies and scout cam- porees should be run, and on leadership development in cubs and scouts through sixcrs coun- cils and patrol leaders training. Discussion was lively and pro- duced many suggestions, not all L'nanimous, which were present- ed by the discussion group lead- ers. Definite results were that preliminary training courses for both cub and scout leaders will be held during October and Nov- ember with a large attendance in- dicated.

Scout and Cub leaders of the newly-formed York Summit Dis- trict met at the Richmond Hill High School on Monday. Septe’m- her 16, to discuss the needs and plans for scouting and cubbing in the district. This was the first “gettegether” of the district leaders, and was well attended by 26 Cubmasters, 15 Scoutmasters and seven district staff. Reeve Perry summed up the argument, "I'd like to state we have the best of intentions and we’ll do the best we can in work- ing out a solution." He then sug- gested that the two clerks, J. M. McDonald of Vaughan and Harry Crisp of Markham, go into the financial aspect of dissolution & report to the. councils on their findings. Both councils agreed to leave the financial reports in the hands of the clerks to pre- pare a comprehensive joint re- port to present to the councils. The two councils also agreed to pass individual resolutions agree- ing to dissolution at any early date.
