During the coming year plans are to add to the paved roads in the township. Up for considera- tion for paving are Elgin Mills Sideroad, Gamble Ave., Pine Grove, the 7th Concession north of No. 7 Highway, and Carrville Road. Elgar Ave, Westwood Lane, Roosevelt Drive, C"estwood Rd. and Arnold Avenue. To aid 'n deciding which of these roads are the most in need of repair and therefore should be paved arterial roads. {our traffic coun- ters have been purchased to rec- ord, the daily traffic over them. From these tests several roads will be selected for this year's intensive road improvement pro- gram which will include graveling to build up the road base and ditching to improve the drainage. Mr. Ryder said he was anxious to get ahead with ditching and asked council to authorize putting the graders on two shifts. Depu- ty-reeve R. Kirk felt the work should start right away and the rest of the council agreed. Dust Layer Because of the dry spring wea- ther work on Vaughan Township roads is getting off to an early start. Councillor Victor Ryder, Chairman of the Roads Commit- tee, told members of Vaughan Township Council at Monday‘s meeting. Gravel from the pit leased the first part of the year has been hauled every day over the past few weeks, said Mr. Ryder, naming May Ave. as one specific location to already re- ceive the gravel. When it was announced tenders for calcium for laying the dust will be opened May 9, Deputy- reeve Kirk asked how soon the dust layer would be put on as he had already had phone calls in regard to the matter. “As soon as the roads are con- solidated," answered Mr. Ryder. When pressed by Mr. Kirk for a definite date, Mr. Ryder reiter- ated his opinion it would be a waste of rfiaterial to spreadva layer until the roads are settled. More Sidewalks Deputy-reeve Kirk was auth- orized to get measurements from the township engineering firm, Duncan Hopper & Associates, for additional sidewalks on Yonge St. from Roosevelt Drive to Lang- stafi, from Mill Road to the sou- thern boundaries of Richmond Hill. and Elgin Mills sideroad. after which tenders will be called for. Vaughan Gets An Early Start At Road _W9rk There have been several service stations erected in these locations and Mr. Kirk said some adjust- ments would have to be made, es- pecially regarding "islands" in front of the stations which are in some instances a Loot high and impossible to step over. “We should clear up any con- flict between plans approved by the Department of Highways and the good of the township,” said Mr. Kirk. It was pointed out by Clerk J. M. McDonald permission for sidewalks along Yonge St. was granted by the DepArtment of Highways several years ago. On motion of Deputy-reeves Kirk. seconded by Councillor E. W. Anstey. the annual grant to Richmond Hill Fair Board was upped $25.00 to make it $50.00 this year, the same as for Wood- bridge Fair. Salary increases to the town- ship stafi have been approved but still in the preparation stage is the new salary schedule and clas~ sification of duties which is exâ€" pected to be put into effect this ear. Based on civil service re- quirements. Reeve J. Perry and other members of council have been working on the matter for several months.

Dog Catcher Still Needed The problem of adequate dog catching facilities for the town- ship still plagues the council. It was decided Councillor J. Bryson would be permitted to look into purchasing a used truck. provid- ing a number of township owned kennels. and attempting to hire éipersorfi as regular 'towfiship per- sonnel to look after the catching and disposing of the dogs, or get- ting the Humane Society to un- dertake the job with township equipment. 0n recommendaion of Clerk McDonald, the penalty for taxes not pail when due has been in- creased to 1 per cent per month. Taxes are usually proportioned for payment in June, September and December. r Council “eceived a letter from the Department of Lands and Forests asking township approv- al for an extended pheasant hunt- ing season from October 15 to November 1. The department stated it believed such an arrange- ment for eastern Ontario would assure a uniform season, in which hunting would take place at the same time, an earlit" season to ensure a better bag of birds, and a longer season to disperse the hunters. - Deputy-rceve Kirk was of the opinion council should delay its decision until it was seen whether the policy would be adopted ac- ross the province. and if so to go along with it. It was decided to delay the decision until more information was received by the clerk. As the council has received no word as to whether insurance ad‘ justors have contacted those per- sons claiming fences were knockâ€" ed down when snow plows were at work during a severe snow this past winter. Reeve Perry asked Councillor Ryder to contact the township insurance firm, Wilson & 00., again. “First Aid" as the subject of the night. There was a good attendance shown by all under the leadership of Guide Captain Mrs. L. G. Snook. (Written by Judy McGregor for her‘ Reporter’s Badge) The regular meeting of the 3rd Richmond Hill Girl Guide Com- pany was held at the Walter Scott School, under the leader- ship of Mrs, Snook. Captain. Tamsy Wootten was enrolled as a guide after passing her tender- foot tests. Chief Robbins gave instruction on the St. John Am- bulance First Aid course. The company was dismissed early be- cause of the meeting of the Pat- rol Leaders and their secondcrs (Court of Honour). There was no campfire. At the last meeting of the 3rd Richmond Hill Girl Guides held at Walter Scott School. Pat Price was enrolled as a Girl Guide. Police Chief R. P.

This scene took place at the Richmond Nursery School, one morning last week, when “The Liberal” called on the school owner- principal, Mrs. J. A. Latimer and her assistant Mrs. W. D. W v... “School” is held in the basement of the Norman Bone home, Elizabeth Street, and as we approached No. 34, we wondered if we really had the correct house number. The house looked so quiet and neat, the only sign of “childlife” visible from the outside was a collection of outdoor sports equipment in the yard at the rear. Ushered into the schoolroom. we found 18 children aged 3% to 51¢ years sitting quietly at various oversize kindergarten tables, which were gaily painted. like the walls and ceiling of the large bright room, in coral pink and 'mint green. At one table a boat-building project was going forwarfi and the little tads pro- vided with various wooden blocks and knobs, bits of cardboard, milk-cap tops and seashells were putting together their own ver- sions of what a ship should really look like. Lyon At another table three little girls were busy “baking” with modeling clay made out of col- oured dough; we watched as Patricia quickly modelled a gin- gerbread man. and Pricilla made birds and a doll. Suddenly we heard a little voice asking, “Have you got a little boy?" and we looked down and there was George. George is nearly five years old and when he learned we had two boys he asked, “Have they got a tractor?” Forgetting for the moment the tractor at home with the de- capitated driver (which we have been threatening to throw out for years) we learned that George was an authority on tractors, as he comes from a farm near Maple. After we had admired his little tractor which he carries with him to nursery school, George wan- dered off to hear Mrs. Comar read a story. There are 28 children on the rolls at Mrs. Latimer‘s Richmond Nursery School and they come from Maple, Gormley and the Richmond Hill district at 9 am. each weekday, morning, accom- panied by one of their parents, collected again at 11.30 am, they have in the meantime followed a routine morning of co-operative play, work and rest. On arrival at school the chil- dren play for three-quarters of an hour; inside on stormy days, outside if the weather is good. Last week it was so warm the children played outside in the sandbox; or on the slide or glider; or rode the “horse” most cleverly contrived from a saw-horse and a stout wooden pillar with a carved horse‘s head; or they climbed through the barrel or used the jumping-board. The jumping-board was the invention of Sandy Latimer, Marian‘s hus- band who is quite proud of his wife‘s career with children, which commenced just four years ago. At 9:45 the children march} back into “school” and wash their hands before munching on a cookie or two: then it’s do-it- yourself time, followed by a story or a sing-song before they go outside to play again. Although the children are never alone for one minute, they are far more free than they would be in the average home. If John wants to float a boat in a tub of water he may do so and not have to worry about spilling some of the imaginary lake on the floorâ€" that sort of thing is taken lightly at the nursery school with its tiled floors and where such things are “expected” to happen among such a crowd. The paste pot is always available, during this peri ed, as are paints, crayons and all the materials a youngster could wish for. Hanging from the line. in what could be termed the “file” are plastic bags, crammed with the week’s work done by each child. Labelled with his or her own name. they contain the young artist‘s work. which he will carry proudly home to his mother and dad on Friday, so that he can share his “artistic” results with his family. On Monday he brings the emptied bag back to school and pins it again to the line. Four years ago, Mrs. Latimer took over the nursery school from Mrs. C. R. Tiltâ€"after she had gone “back to school" herself to learn just how the nursery school business should be run. This type of work is not to be classed in with baby-sitting, but is almost on the kindergarten level as little Mary Anne could show you. Mary Anne, who is just four and a half years old is very fond of lettering and as proof that this advanrsd learning is encouraged. tacked on the bulletin board. along with a host of other excel- lent displays of work by the chil- dren. is a page Mary Anne print- ed beautifully by herself. The school also has an easel, for advanced artists we presume, as well as finger-painting equip- ment for the more casual student. While Mrs. Latimer was showing us some of the betterâ€"than-aver- age paintings, Jimmy came along to show us the train he had just painted from memory at the easelâ€"and a very good train it was. In its own corner is the doll centre .with dishes laid out ready for "afternoon tea" and numer- ous dolls bedecking the scene. The shelf toys, neatly in their own racks and the well-worn li- brary centre revealed nothing was overlooked in helping to teach the child how to use his time properly. Arguments or “scenes” are few and far between at the nursery school. but should the occasion for discipline of a sterner measâ€" ure arise, the teacher leads the child causing the disturbance to a chair away from the others and there he remains until he may join the circle again. Usually this treatment is only needed when the child first joins the school. After he learns to share and work with others, a matter of a few days or a week. he realizes he cannot have his own way but must consider others. Watching these youngsters, as they sang about "Fair Rosie” and 95ft .742 KLICAMOIICJ finders; SCAD!) then marched out to the play-area singing the Caravan Song, we felt great admiration for Mrs. Lati- mer and Mrs. Lyon, and for their part-time assistant Mrs. Comar, ealizing just how much they were doing for these children and their families. School teachers recognize the value of the nursery centre for pre-school adjustment and have stated that the child who has at- tended nursery school for a year or more before going into public school settles right down to busi- ness when enrolled in the first grade. Mrs. Latimer's privately owned and operated school is inspected by the Department of Welfare yearly; the total area of square feet contained in the school. is carefully measured, for there must be just so many square feet of play room for each child; the school is also inspected by the Fire Department. and has a monthly visit from the Public Health Nurse. Nursery school staffs have to be thoroughly trained for their work of “supervised play in a group," which teaches the child many skills and develops his abilities. ' Previous to joining Mrs. Lati- mer‘s Richmond Nursery school, Mrs. Lyon spent two years in To- ronto with a school of retarded children. Both she and Mrs. Lati- mer are very happy in their work. Providing zestful living, and pleasure in achievement, in their young charges gives 'them great satisfaction in the job they have undertaken to carry out five mornings weekly from Septem- ber to the middle oi June each year Mrs. Latimef' said, “Many high school graduates could choose to work with young children as a career. If anyone is interested in doing so, such a course has been provided at Ryerson Institute of Technology, 50 Gould Street, To- ronto, where high school gradu- ates may enrol in the two-year Child Management Course. Uni- versity graduates may take a one year diploma course at the Insti- tute of Child Study. University of Toronto, 45 Walmer Road. Health and Happiness is the wish of all parents for their chil- dren â€" The Richmond Nursery School is planned to help this wish come true ApproveS-ch. (Continued from page 1) Teaching Staff Trustee Mrs. Margaret South- well head of the Personnel Com- mittee, stated teacher require ments for the local schools had been filled. “If we have no more resignations, we are set-up," she said. Twelve teachers for the new school have been hired and three replacements. Twelve of the new teachers will complete cour- ses at Teachers‘ College this spring. Supervising Principal Reports Supervising Principal Rose in his report said tests re learning capacity had recently been con- ducted for grades 1, 4 and 7. This program was inaugurated last year and will eventually cover all the children passing through 10- cal public schools. There were 2,198 pupils en- rolled at the end of March. Of these 290 are in kindergarten, plus a waiting list of 18 for kin- dergarten at Beverley Acres. At- tendance for March was 93.95%, The architects of Beverley Ac-_ res school, Jackson and Ypes, will be asked to inspect the beams at the entrance foyer for frost upheaval. The north and south windows in the basement rooms at Mc- Conaghy School are to have bamâ€" boo blinds. Trustee Southweil was ap- pointed to attend a meeting of the York County Education Comâ€" mittee and the York County Trustees’ Association in New- market this week to make plans for a fall conference. Though Thursday evening's meeting was one of the shortest regular meetings of the board in several years. ending at 10:30. Trustee Sully brought up the possibility of meeting regularly each week until June. Chairman Ross was of the opinion meetings twice a month with special meet- ings called when necessary were sufficient. It was recalled that the board had been meeting nearly every week since Christmas be- cause of planning for the new school, in addition to other busi- ness. It was also thought by Mrs. Sully the meetings should be moved back earlier in the week as time was lost over the week end in completing business de- _cided upon at the Thursday meet- mg. Trustee Rabinowitch disagreed stating there was still the first of the week to contact persons un- available on Saturday and Sun- day. He believed the board mem- bers had established the habit of meeting Thursday evening. The day of meeting will be discussed again in June. NEWMARKET: The smoke and soot problem in town was raised at council recently following the complaint of a resident that a car washed on a Friday evening was poxed with soot next mornâ€" ing: also a freshly dry cleaned hat and coat were spotted with soot. Mayor Belugin said “we can pass a smoke nuisance bylaw or we can speak to the industry involved and see if it will c0- operate.” W. R. Outerbridge Members of the University Women's Club of York County at their regular meeting Mon- day night expressed their whole- hearted support of current ef- forts to establish a Mental Health Association and eventually a Mental Health Clinic in this county. The meeting was held at Kingcraft House, King City, and was addressed by Mr. W. R. Out- erbridge, Probation Officer with the Juvenile and Family Court in Aurora, who emphasized the need for such a clinic in this area. He pointed out that many differ- ent problems which they encoun- ter are referred to clinics in Tor- onto for psychiatric treatment. This often results in months of delay which could be avoided were a clinic available here. However, the majority of “con- sumers” of a mental health clin- ic would come from the schools and from doctors and ministers who would refer special cases to it for treatment. Tells Of Work County Juvenile 8. Family Court Mr. Outerbridge. who was in- troduced to his audience by Mrs. Carol Davis of King, has held his present post in Aurora for some three years. He was born“ in Japan and lived in that country until the age of 14. Mr_ Outer- bridge is a graduate in Social Science of McMaster University, did post-graduate work at the School of Social Work in Toron- to, and includes in his' years of experience in this field a year at the Psychiatric Hospital in Tor- onto. Mr. Outerbridge explained that the two main functions of the Juvenile and Family Court are (1) to uphold the law and thus protect society. and (2) to be of assistance to individuals involv- ed with the law. All hearings of the court are held in camera, in an informal manner, and all in- formation given in evidence is confidential and not released to either press or radio. This is largely because of the type of cases handled by the court. for example, delinquent behaviour among children under the age of 16, parent-child relationships, m'arital disharmony, and so on. The speaker emphasized that the court endeavours in every way possible to provide a helpful at- mosphere for the child appear- ing before it. Included among the disposi- tions in the hands of a Juvenile and Family Court judge are the right to suspend sentence: to place a child with the Children‘s Aid Society, or in a foster home away from its natural parents or in a training school; in the case of desertion to order a man to support his family or face a maxi- King City-the home of King-size car values!

WILLOWDALE : Yonge Street businessmen in North York have been asked to appeal their bus- ness assessment in a bulletin is- sued by the association which states such an appeal is strongly urged upon any member whose business is suffering from lack of parking facilities. The. assoc- iation maintains that the assess- ors have failed to recognise that the commercial value (of Yonge St. stores) has been substantially reduced by inadequate parking provisions.
