Mrs. Don Richmond Hill’:. Recreation Committee held its final summer session on June 26th in the Coun- cil chambers.

In explanation of the working of this organizationâ€"a student becomes a member of the Super 80 Club when he obtains 80% or over on his average. He receives an insignia from the Student As- sociation. which he may wear until he drops below on his term exams. The.pin is then returned to the student association. I the Parks and Playgrounds bud- ge‘: is being used in the improve- ment of small parks and in sod- ding. It was decided to recommend in a letter to Council that a full time recreational director and supervisor of pa. ks and playâ€" grounds be considered. Mr. Butlin pointed out that the town would be eligible for .- grant on a direc- tor’s salary and that he may em- ploy a full time seeictary (whose salary would also be eligible for provincial grant). As the recreation committee cannot undertake any capital con- struction itself, It will be neces- sary for a Tennis Association to b formed, and an organizational meeting called .0 form that asso- ciation. It is hoped this can be done in the near future. Mr. But- lir. pointed out thai a community centre grant could be obtained for such a project. TU. 4-2329 Ln Clerk Jack Crawforu placed be- fore Whitchurch township council on Thursday evening, tentative tax figures for this year. While not yet final, the figures revealed that there would likely be an in- crease in the mill rate of two to three mills. All high school rates are up with the exception of Stouffville; Newmarket rising four mills over last year. Requests Twp. Absorb Roads It was noted that the final date of payment of taxes would be moved forward from Dec. 15 to Dec. lst. The discount allowed for repayment would remain at 3%, but the rate of interest on arrears would be increased from 2%'to 3%. Charles Ratcliff requested that council absorb the roads in his sub-division located on the for- mer Neighorn farm. Council agreed that the road allowance be taken over if approved by the to‘ 'nship road superintendent and the Dept. of Highways. A resolution by Councillors Mrs. Gibb and Mr. William was passed, instructing Robert Arm- strong to valuate the 5% of land dedicated to the township on the Chas. Ratclif’f subâ€"division. The township will allow the subâ€"divider to purchase the land dedicated for park purposes, sub- ject to the approval of the Min- ister of Planning, and the funds would be held and used f0 such purpose as the Minister approves. Such practice does away with many odd parcels of park land throughout the municipality. Sheep Claim Council approved payment of $15 for one sheep killed by dogs amz owned by Geo. Drewery. This is the second claim paid to Mr. Drewery this year. Council also approved the road superintendent’s salaries of $1,181.95. and $318 to the Com- munity Centre Board for a re- freshment booth in the Vandorf park, complete with electrical wiring. This year’s list of Witchurch township grants is as follows: Au- rora Agric. Society $50, Markham Fair $50, North York Plowmen $50, Can. Nat. Institute for Blind $25, Salvation Army $25, Oak Ridges Lions Club $25. Aurora Lions $10, Oak Ridges Girl Guides $10. Ballantrae Brownies $10, Ballantrae Boy Scouts $10. WT LET; FACE n’... M r...

"It is a problem common to solicitorst throughout the county that they are required to bring people 30 to 40 miles to a court in Toronto. a court which is already overcrowded and inade- quate without additional cases from York County. On the basis of population it is long overdue ‘that the county have its own court within its boundries. “Manitoulin Island has a county judge but here we are tied to the county courts of Toronto which are already overtaxcd." continued Mr. Plaxton. “I speak not only as a lawyer but for the clients who are residents of this county."
