Mr. Rose estimated 150,000 sheets of paper had been mimeographed by hand cranking by his office during the school year, and this amount would increase with the new school. ’ r For a period or two weeks this summer the board agreed to pay the salary of one of the public school teachers, with library ex- perience, to repair text books. A letter will be sent to the town council calling attention to the need of repairing the side- walk and car ramp in» front of the McConaghy School. Enrollment Up In his report Supervising Prin- cipal Rose said enrollment at the end of May was 2,230 pupils. He estimated two more classrooms would be needed at the Walter Scott School in the fall, and oth- er temporary accommodation prior to the completion of. the new Crosby Heights School. The planning committee, Trus- tee Clement and Rabinowitch, is studying the estimated accommo- dation needs for fall and will submit their report later. Kindergarten enrollment was higher than anticipated, Mr. Rose reported, and he expects at least 375 beginners in the fall. All are required to have their birth cer- tificates in order by then. Some parents presented baptism certi- ficates but these were not ac- cepted by the school officials. Trustee Sanderson questioned as to why they were not acceptable as proof of age. No official an- swer was given. It was pointed out also a few of the kindergar- ten registrations were for child- ren whose parents Were Separ- ate School supporters; these chil- dren will be allowed to attend public school kindergarten if there is accommodation available and the parents are willing to pay a fee. Kindergarten Enrollment High A suggestion from Trustee Sully that an earlier day in the week be chosen for regular board meetings was tabled when there was no seconder for the sugges- tion. Meet With E. School Committee It was mentioned that members of the board had met with the Education Commitee of the York Central District High School Board and from the discussion had arisen the recommendation that some 25 selected student records of Richmond Hill Public School pupils be followed through to the tenth grade in order to as- sess through their progress. the overall operation of the local public school system. This recom- mendation is to be presented to the district high school board as a whole at its next meeting. 2| Dog Owners in The Dog House Police Chief R. P. Robbins of the Richmond Hill Police Depart- ment reported that in the last week there have b:en 112 calls. Most of the occurrences were violations of the dog by-law and other minor matters.

(Cu_l_!s} There are some very essential ingredients for a successful Cub rally. the most important of these are good weather and en- thusiastic leaders and boys. At our rally we had all of these ingredients and we are sure that everyone enjoyed Athe evening. There are a few facts about the rally which I feel will be of inter- est to everyone. 0f the 31 packs in the district 24 were represen- ted at the rally and 357 Cubs were registered. We did not count the leaders but there must have been at least 50 there. We hope that next year every pack in the district will be represented. It is a wonderful opportunity for the Cubs to see other Cubs and to get a little of the feeling of the great brotherhood of scouting. The program started with a very impressive grand howl in which all the cubs took part. It was a wonderful sight to see all the Cubs in one large circle, all in uniform and all with their different pack neckerchiefs. After the howl we got started on the tests and here again we were very please with the re- sults. To all the eaders we say ‘Thank You' for doing such a wonderful job with your boys. They certainly did their ‘BEST’. The results were so good that no pacl got a ‘C' pennant but 16 got ‘A’ pennants and the rest ‘B’ pennants. Next year let's all work a little harder and everyone get ‘A' pennants. Just a word to the leaders, the item that seemed to give most trouble was the Union Flag. The saints and emblems seemed to get very muddled. Lets bear this in mind when we are planning for next year. At the 5mm time lets see what we can do to teach more about knots and signalling both of which items the boy will require to have a good knowledge when he goes to Scouts. During the interval between the tests and the camp fire the boys were able to have their re- freshments and also there was the final of the tug of war. What a final this was and our congratuâ€" lations must go to king for theitr efforts. The camp fire closed the even- ing. this again was as near per- fect as possible especially as the fire really did burn and one- match Hopkins must be congratu- lated on his efforts. Our District Commissioner, Leonard May, opened the camp fire and presented the pennants to the packs and in a few well chosen words commended the packs, leaders and the stalf for the progress they are making in cubbing. In closing the district commis- sioner and his staff would like to thanks leaders who did so much to make the evening a success for the Cubs. I am sure that all scouters did enjoy the evening and this enjoyment was'mainly because we knew that the ‘boys' were having a good time and learning a little more of what scouting really is. Well until next fall, good hunting and when we start planning our programs let us put the ‘BOY' in first place. FOR QUICK RESULTS USE "LIBERAL" CLASSIFIED ADS PHONE TURNER #1105 CUB RALLY $601,, Markham Township Council Monday expressed dissatisfaction with the latest offer made by Richmond Hill regarding the proposed new fire agreement. Under the latest proposal Rich- mond Hill has reduced it's stand- by fee from $1000.00 to $500.00 but the cost of attending individ- ual fires remains the same at $125.00 a fire plus $50.00 for each additional hour spent at a fire. For some years Markham has had various fire‘ agreements with Richmond Hill under which that town's brigade has supplied fire protection in the first three con- cessions of Markham. Under the previous agreement which has expired Markham paid a stand- by tee of $300 plus $50.00 for each fire. Reeve W. L. Clark strongly favoured Markham signing an agreement with Vaughan Town- ship rather than Richmond Hill. Vaughan is planning the immed- iate construction of a new fire hall in the Richvale area and has offered to supply fire protect- ion ln the front part of Mark- ham. The standby fee in Vaugh- an’s agreement would be $500. but individual calls would only cost $60.00 with no extra charge. “Vaughan‘s proposition is much more favourable and the service is equal," stated Reeve Clark. Councillor L. Mumberson who is chairman of the fire committee, felt Richmond Hill's. “standby fee completely out of line.” Mr. Mumberson questioned the fact the new Richvale brigade will not be as experienced as the present Richmond Hill brigade. As to the matter of serving the Markham area until the new Vaughan fire hall is built Reeve Clark said that Vaughan assured the fire committee that they have timed the two brigades and that their Maple brigade can answer calls in the first concession as quickly as Richmond Hill brigade can. The Markham area would have to be served by the Maple brigade until such time as the Richvale fire hall is built and brigade staffed. Deputy-reeve W. Dean suggested that the time is fast approaching when Markham would be well advised to con- sider organizing it’s own brigade in the first concession. The fire committee was finally instructed to ask Vaughan as to when service from their new Bichvale fire hall will be availâ€" able. They will also ask Rich- mond Hill to consider continuing supplying fire protection to the Markham area under the terms at the old agreement until such time as Vaughan service is available. Extension Water Areal Former Councillor Mrs. K. James of Highland Park waited on council to register strong ob- jections to any change in the boundaries of water area No. 1 at the present time. Mrs. James maintained that any addition to the water area would be most unfair to the present consumers. In reply Councillor J. MacNeil chairman of the water committee stated that the whole proposal is still in the committee stage and no report has yet been made to council. The engineer has been instructed to prepare a report covering the proposed extension. “Are you going to make some- body’s property more valuable, would it be a sub-division on John Street," queried Mrs. James. “We are not going to give the township away as some of our critics might think," re- plied Councillor MacNeil. Markham Not "Satisfied Reeve Clark went on record as favouring no change in the water area until the present consumers have been adequately supplied. The present residents have been assessed $10,000.00 to pay for the cost of the developing the new wells. “Any enlargement of the area would invite subdivision pressure and if we weren't care- ful we could run 011’. of water,” remarked Reeve Clark. Any changes in the water area would be subject to the approval of the municipal boand. Council has decided to handle the local improvement necess- ary for the installation of the water distribution system in the area on an overall basis. Thus the 11 groups of streets will be handled as one, on the initiation of council. Councillor MacNeil reported that he in? met with Thornhill Village Trustees last Saturday and the trustees were willing to have the local improv~ ement for the water system in :r t.» >t<."“.\)7>rm{)_.-1vgv)q{)yz.'~.-.A MAR‘ Who rem the Wome School of Miss Sand graduate 01 Thornhill handled on an over-High School 63 YONGE ST.

Clark who resides at the north-east corner of Elgin Street requested council to in- (lude his property in the proposed new water distribution system. Council had not included Elgin Street in the original distribution plan as it is only a 33 foot road- way and does not lend itself to construction plans. "1 am sure something can be worked out with the engineer and solicitor to have your property included," stated Reeve Clark. Consulting Engin- eer E. Jorgensen sated that the most economical way to serve Mr. 'Clark’s property would be from the Yonge Street main. School Site all basis Council has auhorized consult- ing engineers H. Babcock and Co. to spend up to $5,000.00 for eng- ineering fees, plans and specific- aions in connection wih a survey of water area No. 1. It is ex- pected the survey will take four to six weeks to complete. The Board of Trustees of School Area No. 1 Markha'g- Vaughan hav= informed council that they intend to expropriate 11% acres in the Clarke Ave., Elgin Street area as a site for a new school. The land in question is port of lot 29 concession 1. Reeve Clark vetoed a sug- gestion by Deputyâ€"reeve W. Dean that the township engineer make a survey of the storm water drainage problem existing on three parcels of land owned by Mr. L. D. Maldaver in the Don~ caster area. “Council can‘t auth- orize the expenditure of public money in order to tell a man how to develop his property," stated Reeve Clark. Mr. Maldaver stat- ed he is willing to donate Lillian Avenue to the municipality as a public roadway in order that it fnight be incluaed in the water distribution system. Unionville Paving The Department of Highways has approved for subsidy pur- poses $52,000.00 of the total est- imate $65,000.00 for the resur- facing of the main street of Un- ionville. They have refused to assist in the $13,000.00 drainage scheme associated with the pav- ing contragt. County Weed Inspector F. Mar- riatt waited on council regarding this year‘s weed control program. Mr. Marriatt stressed the need to control weeds on vacant farms. The spraying of 24D must be handled with extreme care so as not to injure crops. Last year the county had to pay out $500.00 claim for a 9/. acre plot of turn- ips that were ruined by careless spraying. Mr. Marriatt suggested Markham follow the example of other municipalities and spray poison ivy free of charge. He stated there was poison ivy in the Unionviile area that should be sprayed.__ - . a..- a... -_.., -_. Council ha: approved a $25.00 annual license fee for all auct- ioneers operating within the township. This new license fee will supercede the present county fee of $20.00. Council has also approved a license fee of $300.00 for any transient traders who might come into the township. Council stressed that this fee will in no way be applicable to farm- ers selling their own produce.
