Sam Cook, Liberal candidate in York North. urged the voters to correct the one-sided representation of the Toronto and Yorks. He pointed out that last June the eighteen Toronto and York Ridings elected seventeen Conservatives and one Liberal. “This”. said Mr. Cook, "is too one-sided representation for the good of the district or the country,” and he urged sup- port for the election of a Liberal in York North. During the latter part of Febru- ary, the cattle owners of York County carmvassedr their membexjs The Liberal candidate is con- ducting an intensive campaign reaching into all parts of the rid- ing. During the day he visits and talks with as many people as possible stressing his desire to serve the people of York North and the kind of personal service he is prepared to give the people If chosen as their representative 1n Parliament. Expressing deep concern for the people hit by the unemploy- ment situatlon in Canada. he said the Pearson plan ofl'ered hope and encouragement for the m- ture. Mr. Cook stressed the Lib- eral platform of expanded trade and praised the contribution to world peace made by Liberal leader Hon. Lester B. Pearson. Declaring that Canada and the world need Pearson at this time Mr. Cook said, “if we lose the Peace. we 105e all."

This disappointment can be avoided by checking now to make sure your name is on the list of voters. In an urban polling division you cannot vote if your name is not on the list. In many countries of the world where the lamp of freedom has gone out there are thousands and thousands of people who would give anything they possess to have the privilege once again of free elections. Here in Canada We take the matter all too much for granted and on March 31st as in prev- ious elections there will 'be many thou- sands of people who will not take the trouble to vote. This is most regrettable and is not any credit to democracy. On Monday, March 31st citizens of Canada will have the responsibility of electing a government to carry on the Country’s business for the next five years.

It is claimed there is ample property available for business develop- ment within the town and that the zoning change in the town- ship immediately bordering on Richmond Hill would have a det- rimental effect on local develop- ment.

He said that the community hall. owned by the township, was hampered be- cause of the lack of parking fa- cilities. A four-acre area was sug- gested by Mr. Buchanan as what wasArequired as a minimum. "That doesn't seem very large; you need to consider the needs of twenty years from now." said Deputy-Reeve Dean. A delegation of more than two dozen ratepayers from Victoria Square, appeared before Mark- ham Township Council on Mon- day evening seeking assistance with the establishing of a com- munity park for this neighbor- hood. Mr. Buchanan said that the group had the idea that the town- ship council would like to estab- lish the park in or near Victoria Square. Reeve Clark said that it was up to the residents to choose the site and present council with the figures of what would be requir- ed. “After all. you are the people who are going to use the park,” he said. The council doesn’t want to go into the park business, he added. Deputy-Reeve Dean said that the Department of Agriculture should be approached for help. but Reeve Clark said that their representatives had already look- ed over the land. Councillor Mumberson stated that certain sums of money had been collected from the Cachey Estates subdivision near Victoria Square in lieu of park land being donated. and it was his opinion that this money should be spent in this area.

If you don’t check now, there will be no use raising a row on election day if your name is left off and you are un-. able to vote.

Make sure now that your name is on the list, and on election day, don’t wait for someone to drive you, go to the polls and cast your ballot.

A splendid programme is ar- ranged for both days. Experts will speak on all subjects from house plants to shrubs and trees. There will be demonstrations and dis- cussion periods. The convention will be held at the Royal Connaught Hotel with morning and afternoon sessions at 9 am. and 2 pm. Any membersrwho can attend are sure to find it a rewarding experience. The reason is obvious. Both of these gentlemen know full well elected bodies simply could not function properly if they attempt- ed to operate a government by referendum. But apparently they don’t’ want to admit this is as true of school boards as it is of municipal councils. wPerhaps a little soul searching would bring Mr. Smith to the truth he seeks. nual fall bazaar. Miss Betty Anderson, who at- tended the World ,Guide Camp last summer, showed coloured slides of the camp at Great Wind- sor Park and some of the various places she visited during her stay in southern England, also some taken at Doe Lake camp here in Canada.

Even estimating the value of his time at $1 an hour, Mr. Smith has already spent more than the gymnasium will ever cost him. I have heard no proposal from either Mr. Smith or his friend Mr. Haggart that this issue he put to a referendum or to a vote of ratepayers gro_ups. Others in this town interested in the truth might like to know why Mr. Smith is so zealous in his attempts to block the school board’s first attempt to improve the standards of its school accom- modation. But as a taxpayer who faces the possibility of having to contrib- ute to the elimination of the $250,000 water problem in Bever- ley Acres I can't help but feel his efforts are slightly misdirect- ed. Mr. Smith’s tireless and un- stinting efforts to save the house- holders of this town the exhor- bitant sum of 75 cents a year for ghsdgym are commendable in- ee . There was no representative of the school board present when the vote was taken at Crosby rate- payers and in the case of Bever- ley Acres meeting the only trus- te': invited was Mr. Harold San- derson, who is known to oppose the gymnasium. v As one of the 14 signees of the letter referred to by Mr. K. G. Smith in your issue of March 6, I feel it should be pointed out to the same Mr. Smith that address- es were included with the origin- al letter. If Mr. Smith is as interested in “seeking the truth" as he pre- tends he might have inquired of “The Liberal" before presuming. While we arr on the subject of truth seeking in the issue of the Crosby Ave. school gymnasium, it should be pointed out that, con- trary to Mr. Smith’s contentions, very little efiort, if any, \x as made at the ratepayers meetings, to restrict the voting to public school supporters o_n_1y.‘ vI’r-Ivfaictrthe presidént of Mr. Smith‘s own association has ad- mitted no such distinction had been attempted. _ Further t1 the "truth" Mr. Smith claims to seek, all ratepay- ers groups did NOT invite rep- resentatives of both sides of this issue.

J. Sand, the board will send a letter to the Public School Trustees Associa- tion of Ontario regarding tax ex- emption of school supplies. Property Report The board announced the ac- ceptance of Mrs. Margaret Cor- dingly’s tender for the making of linen curtains for the new Ross Doan School. Mrs. Cordingly’s tender, one of five submitted and the lowest bid quoted, is for $788.90 for drapes for six class- rooms, the teacher’s room and the principal's office.

The members of the adminis- trative staff received an incre- ment of $200.00 per annum. There is no established schedule for _this group. Councillor Haggart pointed out the present debenture debt of the town was close to $2,000,000 and that proposed and committed projects would raise this to some $4,132,229. As of December 31 this was 19.8% of assessment and he said the Ontario Munici- pal Board was not likely to OK a debt of this ratio so that some essential items would have to be postponed. Area Trustees To Discuss Budget Meeting With Councils, H.&S. Mar. 27 The teachers’ salary schedule has been altered to a fiveâ€"cate- gory system, and the minimum raised from $2800.00 to $3,000.00 with a maximum of $6,400.00. The increase on the minimum raised the maximum by $200.00. He pointed out that curriculum requirements made some indoor accommodation for physcal edu~ cation necessary. Only one school has such accommodation (Mc- Conaghy School( and this was used sometimes for kindergarten. alls were used for such activity to the detriment of other classes, he pointed out. He mentioned other communities that provide either senior schools or junior high schools, such as Scarboro, North York, etc. The art supervisor’s iall‘owance was increased from $300.00 to $400.00 per annum. Mr. Smith said he had yet to see a meeting of the public fill the McConaghy School’s auditor- ium and doubted the need for such at the new school. Crosby Heights provided an opportunity to prepare for senior schools, which was the coming trend, replied Mr. Clement. The phblic school board, he mantained. was only preparing fogsuchhgventuality. Public School Trustee L. Clem- ent pointed out that present schools were overcrowded and that further school accommoda- tion was needed. The board hopes to have the new school completed by fall. He pointed out that originally $340,000 had been re- quested for the school but by eliminating home economics. the amount had been reduced to $290,000: "Maybe we can afford it in five or six years, but speaking for a large number of people. we can’t afford it now," maintained Mr. Smith. Ken Smith of Crosby Heights told the meetng that his associa- tion and other subdivisions east of the railway were in favor of the new Crosby Heights school but opposed to the inclusion of a gym as well as senior schools. Drainage and better drinking water and good roads were more important as well as twice- weekly garbage collections. The town’s debt in 1958 was going to be “staggering,” he forecast. The regular meeting of the Pleasantville Gardens Ratepayers' Association was held at MacKil- lop School on March 6. with President Harold Boylan presid- ing Ratepayers Discuss Gym Vs.

Principals and tea- chers went out of their way to provide transportation for the children under very difficult cir- cumstances Mr. Sand said. Touching on the opening of the new Ross Dean School, Feb- ruary 24, Supervising Principal Sand said all the school child- ren lined up on both sides of the corridor. to shake hands with Dr. Doan, for whom the school was named, and afterwards ev- eryone enjoyed a huge birthday cake in his honour for the happy occasion coincided with Dr. Doan‘s birthday. On motion of Mr. P. Townsend and Mr. J. Palmer it was resolved that the council be asked to change the clause of the bylaw regarding boarders in an R1 area, so that only _one _boarder per Mr. R. Querengesser moved, seconded by Mr. S. Parr that the executive be empowered to take proper steps with Council to see that the R1 regulations are en- forced and to stipulate any spe- cific instances be brought to the attention of the association ex- ecutive and that the executive ask the Council to investigate and prosec_ute where necessary. The motion was put to the meeting and carried with only one dissenting vote. Trustee Alan Parker moved that, “We send a letter stating we approve the sites as laid out on the latest plan, and this does not signify any approval as to cost." Trustee George Chandler second- ed this motion which carrled 3-1, Trustee Taylor dissenting. Correspondence Miss Norah Jones' resignation was accepted by‘the board in order to enable Miss Jones to go to Scotland for a year’s teaching at the end of the June term. New Business In the course of the discussion it was reported that one or more houses up for resale have base- ment apartments in them now. Comment was made that any one who bought after the date of the bylaw was responsible for looking into any restrictions and that ig- norance of the law was no excuse for violating it. erage cost per foot for servicing (roads and sewage) will be a max- imgm cost of $20 per foot. President Boylan reported that complaints had been made to him regarding apparent violations of the R1 zoning restrictions such as selfcontalned apartments and and excess number of boarders. Others pointed out the unfair- ness of only one source of tax revenue from a one-family unit where two families were residing. Mr. Scott moved, seconded by Mrs. S. Parr, that a peition to circulated in the subdivision to obtain the feeling re the enforce- ment of the bylaw regarding apâ€" parent violations subsequent to the date of the bylaw (April 1, 1957). This was defeated on a vote of 8 for and 23 against. and 12 abstaining. This vote re- sulted from a motion by Mr. Robt. Querengesser, seconded by Mr. J. Rabinovitch that the associa- tion resolve the question at this meeting. This was amended on motion of Mr. Don Scott and Mr. P. Townsend that the vote be not considered as an official state- ment of the association but rather of those present. The amended motion was carred. The zoning bylaw was discuss- ed at some length and it appeared the consensus was that there did not appear to be any violation as far as boarders were concerned. Mapy present expressed the opinion that violations of the “one-family” per dwelling unit should be stopped now. otherwise it might lead to other and more numerous violations. This. some felt, could lead to the state of affairs that North York now finds itself in. One member pointed out that North York might even be going in for further restrictons, as it had been proposed there that a bylaw be passed prohibiting the parking of commercial vehicles overnight in a residential area.
