All people interested are invited to attend and enjoy the informal friendliness of the grQIFP- .l "Arctic Birds of Canada" is thei title of a display which may bei seen at the Royal Ontario Mus-‘ cum. The illustrations and speci- mens are of special interest at present because we are seeing some of these birds around us daily. The Canadian Arctic has about 69 breeding species of birds. It is only during the winter months that we may see any of these. We are seeing around Rich- mond Hill Snow Buntings and Redpoll Linnets in large flocks of between 25 to 400. They may be looked for in fields and along 'roadsides, as they feed on the weed seeds showing above the snow. The Snow Bunting shows a large amount of white in its plumage. with some dark brown on the back. This bird is consid- ered the highest and most spec- ialized bird in North America by most ornithologists.

Not only did Trustee Parker start a most thought-provoking and revol- utionary project on its way -â€" namely the idea of a spherical school which would cost the taxpayers LESS rather than MORE dollars â€" but he also i1- lustrated, through his efforts for prog- ress in education, the conscientious- ness which his position as a trustee in- vokes in a truly civic-minded custodian of community affairs. We have always admired and laud- ed those individuals who serve on school boards, often receiving brick- bats instead of bouquets for a position many others could not or would not fill.

One reason for this is the shortage of winter food to the north. A walk to the Mill Pond by two Richmond Hill Nat- uralists one sunny afternoon last week revealed 15 different kinds of birds.

A, We hope this new-type school, which Trustee Parker says is already being utilized in the United States, will receive further investigation on this side of the border. It seems to us, that anything that can help to cut down the cost of pur schools, without “forsaking' quality” should be investigated thor- oughly, and, as soon as it is expedient, such a plan if feasible should be ad- opted in this district. And when such a man as Trustee Par- ker takes the additional time and ef- fort needed to come up with such a com- pletely revolutionary school plan, we would like to say, “Bravo”. 'me Men and women are needed to augment the police and fire de- partments and to train for other civil defence units, Transport, Publicity, Welfare, Health, Com- munications and Warden services. Trained volunteers are nec- essary for a civil defence pro- gram, to cope with the problems of large scale caualties and pro- perty damage, and to apply an organized and trained co-oper- ative effort to minimize the ef- fects of disaster on citizens and property. The Civil Defence Organiz- ation of Markham Township is anxious to contact volunteer re- cruits, men and women, who are seriously interested in training for civil defence. Markham Defence The Markham Township Civil Defence Organization was esta-' blished last year, due to the c ntinuing of world tensions and the ever present possibility of atomic attack and to ensure that the township would be in a pos- ition to deal with any emergency. to maintain life and to protect property both during war or nat- ural disaster such as flood or fire. Requires Recruits The existing unit is now set- ting up an Initial Orientation Course. This is a real opportunity to join this rapidly growing and lively organization with plenty of opportunity for training. By attending this course you can find out which service you are best fitted for, and also be in a position to immediately start more advanced forms of training, as the orientation course is most necessary to all civil defence workers.

This week he received under his old license number a sum- mons for speeding in the Town of Aurora, carrying with it not- ice of a fine of $10. Mr. Street is hopeful that affadavits of the facts in the case will clear him of responsibility for the speeding charge, but the moral in the story is: be careful in disposing of your old license plates. They might be picked up by a bank robber. What Happens To License Plates What do you do- with your old motor license plates? Mr. Street of Kerswell Drive, Richmond Hill, this week had reason to give serious thought to the question. On January 3 he purchased his new 1958 license plates. affixed them to his car and like many others tossed the old ones in the garbage. February 13 E. Dale 240, M. Littleford 217, M.

George Clayton of the township police force was appointed by bylaw as the municipality's first fire pre- vention officer. He will continue as a member of the police force but his services will be utilized in covering the area to examine and advise in making some of the older buildings more safe from fire hazards. Mr. A. Stevens one of a del- egation of ratepayers from Don- caster commented that he did not think the $100 was sufficient but Reeve Clarke pointed out that this officer was one of the senior men on the force and one of the higher paid and the amount was quite agreeable with him. Proir to joining the Markham Police Force, Sgt. Clayton was a member of the North York Fire Brigade for five years. During that time he was appointed Assis- tant Fire Prevention Officer and worked with the fire prevention bureau in North York Township. He is a holder of two certificates from the Ontario Fire Marshall’s office and obtained an additional certificate from the RCMP. at from the R.C.M.P. at Rockcliffe, Mr. Clayton will receive an added $100. as he will be asked to spend some of his off time in giving lectures.
