Mr. E. A. Lcech, secretary of the planning board of the Liquor Control Board of Ontar'l in To- rontod. when questioned on this matter said “It is not true that our department has not taken any action. As a matter of fact, some of our representatives were in Richmond Hill last week. "People don't seem to realize," he continued. “that ours is a bus- iness just like the drug store or the supermarket. We are in busi- ness to make money. and the sooner we open a store in Rich- mond Hill, the sooner we will be- gin making a profit." At the present time, there are two possibilities to be considered. Since the LCBO operates both liquor stores and Brewers' Retail stores. the decision will apply to both. The board is interested in a piece of property on ‘Yonge Street which is large enough to permit the construction of a building. They are also interest~ ed in renting premises at the north Yongc Street shopping centre. Normally it takes eight to twelve months to establish an out- let. In this case, the board is en- deavouring to open one as soon as possible, but they are being held up to a certain extent by land owners who are asking exhorbit‘ ant prices for land. To build a store costs the commission $100.- 000 plus the land. which in this case would be around $50,000. This sort of expenditure is not made overnight. The other prospect is in the shopping centre. Mr. Leech says Loblaws are going to put a new wing of stores into the north end of the centre. The LCBO can rent suitable premises there for NOVEMBER 1 - Saturday at 2 pm. the St. Stephen' W.A. will hold its annual church bazaar in Maple Community Ha“.

Without the outlay of so much money. if the commission can get this site, they will. It will mean an outlet for this area much sooner than by building a store. Final decisions in such matters are made by Mr. William Collins, Chief Commissioner of the LCBO. Mr. Leech says several surveys have been made in Richmond Hill and these are now being consider- ed. He added: “I expect to have some news for you in two weeks time.” The licensing of hotels, bars and beverage rooms is under the jurisdiction of the Liquor Licens- ing Board, which is a separate body from the LCBO even though they have offices in the same building. It’s chief officer is Judge Robb. Before a license is granted, applicants must write a letter to the board asking loavc to apply for the permit. If they are granted leave. they then must ap- pear at a public meeting of the board to be considered for the license. A spokesman for the Board said “permission for the sale of liquor at public outlets such as cocktail lounges is not granted by the vote taken in Richmond Hill. No in- quiries of this nature have been received by the Board since such a vote cannot be taken for an- other three. years.” Plan New School *Retarded Children The growing interest and concern of responsible cit- izens re the plight of retarded children in this area was marked by a capacity meeting at Thornhaven School last Wednesday, October 8th. Heavily attended by representatives of local churches, council, service clubs and women’s institutes, the meeting was chaired by Mr. A. R. Michell of Richmond Hill and followed the recent announement of a fund raising cam- paign by- the Thornhill and District Association for Re- tarded Children. Brief outlines of the history and function of the as- sociation Were followed by a moving coloured film, “Tues- day’s Child”. Then the meeting got down to a frank as sessment of what the association has achieved to date and where ideally its future program can be broadened. Com- ments and suggestions from all sources were recorded; the next step is crystallization of objectives for the as sociation, realistically tied to the potenial financial sup- port. that can be raised in the community. Heated Discussion ‘ Keystone of the program is the plan to build a new, permanent, specially designed school for the retarded children in the commun- ity. The area served by the assoc- iation embraces Oak Ridges, Richmond Hill, King. Maple, Willowdalc, Agincourt, Millikan, Markham and Stouflville. Yet for all this territory and a school bus that must travel 150 miles daily, ‘the only place at present where retarded children can get any training or attention is the parentu‘un Thorhaven School on Bayvicw AvenueI south of No. 7 Highway. This tiny building, leased in 1955 at a generous nominal fee, must be vacated in 1960. It is already operating at capacity with some 30~students â€"â€" child- rcn classed as “ineducable” and rejected by our normal public school system, whose progress in social wellabeing and academic studies has now advanced beyond their parents’ wildest hopes. Thornhaven has given these children love, patience. under- standing and incentive, and when it goes unless the hopes and et- forts of the campaign are realiz- cd. they will be cut off in the prime of their training. Not only they, but the added score of stu- dents expected by then will be doomed to lose their chance of happiness and will once more be- come “stay at homes". The challenge cannot be lg- norcd. This community cannot and will not turn its back on these children, denying them the right to live and learn to their fullest capacity as if they were some- thing less than human beings. The immediate need is for the clwlS new school. Beyond that lies the area of extended hpr to young adults and the need for expand- ed basic medical research. Men- tal retardation can strike any family without respect of envirâ€" onment or heredity. Its incidence is ten times that of crippling po- lio at its height, yet there is rea- son to hope that many of the causes can be discovered and pre- vented. Public awareness is needed of the problems and the answers that have been found. An educa- tional campaign is under way among the residents of this area via newspapers. radio. television and public speakers, and you are invited to contact Mr. John Gra- ham. chairman of the local pub- lic information committee, at Ra- dio Station CJRH, Richmond Hill, for further information. The campaign culminates in Rctardcd Children‘s Week. Nov- cmbcr 16-27. and will be follow- cd immediately in the first week of December by the local canvass for building funds. The test of any civilization is the measure of care and consid- eration which it gives to its weak- I est members. Is anyone in great- ._ ..:cd of consideration than :.i.~.:c. "the least of those"? ‘ Give your help. because you mrc what happens to those child- l :‘cn. \\'lLLO\‘.'D.\LE North York Planning Board has approved the construction of more than l.l00 new low-rental apartment units :10 alleviate the township‘s shar- ed accommodation problem.

Deputy-reeve D. L. Plaxton brought the meeting to order at 7:45 pm. and for the next two hours or more, chaired the meeting during a rather heated discussion. In addition to Mr. Plaxton, other members of the Rich- mond Hill council were present: Mayor K. W. Tomlin; Councillor J. W. Bradstock (member of the parks com- mission); and Councillor S. F. Tinker, who acted as sec- retary of the meeting. From the Metro Conservation Authority, Mr. Charles Saiuriol was assisted by Mrs. Ciink, Mr. McKay, Mr. R. Kirk, and Mr. G. Lemon, who is the new authority member from Richmond Hill. The lively proceedings resulted in a decision to form a delegation of citizens, made up of two Wood Lane resi- dent, one member of each of the eight Richmond Hill ratepayers’ associations, and one member from each of the five local groups (such as the Lions Club) that pres: ented the original brief to Metro asking for something to be done about the pond. The new committee will meet with members of the town council and the conservation authority some Saturday at the Mill pond, to discuss the situation on the spot. From a map on display, Depu- ty-reeve Plaxton explained that the area in question includes the pond; a small strip of land to the west of the pond; a small strip on the cast side to the old town limit: the corner of Wood Lane and Mill Street; the water tower and pump house: and the stream bed to Richmond Street. In his opening address. f\lr. Plaxton said. “This area could be developed as one of the most beautiful spots in the town. We do not want to turn it into an amusement park by any slrelCll of the imagination. Property on the east side must be acquired to form an entrance to the area. The proposed plan is not definite. but flexible. The purpose of this meeting is for us to hear objec- tions and then proceed accord- inch". ‘ The proposed plan would in-l (‘ludc a "nature way." or footpath runan counter-rimkuis: around tho pond from the corner of .‘xlillr and Wood l.€l'l(‘ to Suzar Manic Lanc. There would also be a nail; on the south side of )lill Sir-sci. No extensive landscaping is in- tended. The pond would be drainâ€" ed and cleaned first. then bench- es and picnic tables would be placed about the area for public, >éil(l Alli: ‘ hi':‘_‘~‘ use. “By this method". Plaxvon, "lhc lfl.”:.’ New: south-west cornea of the :2! the yund would then be on dry land and not under water as they are now.” He also said that because of the limited facilities proposed, there should be no outside attraction. and that the plan could be of the greatest benefit to the town. Cost of the $30,000 plan would be sharâ€" cd equally by the town of Rich- mond Hill and the Metro Conser- vation Authority. with the future maintenance and policing to be done by the town. “Regarding the land“. addcd Plaxton. “the council can negotiate for pur- chase at a fair price to go alon: with the people in question. if the land is not acquired. then there will be no further discusâ€" sion." He then pointed out that the Pond would be stocked with fish and fishing docks nould be installed. To refresh everyone prosan \\it‘n lhc plan. a map of the development was circulated aboul the audience. .\'0 Force .\i'.r:' his~ imrmiuvlion by Mr, lnxlnu. _‘.ir. Snurlol of the cou- scrvaliou authosity said, "We are not trying to force it lthe planl down your backs. I knew of this pond long before the authority was formed. We will undertake this prOJett because this eyesore could be a beauty spot. We are lf‘fin: lo rqualizc our responsiâ€" m We 0.3M smuai'l‘ milrs we control, After your first report. was made, the plan was drawn up. But when the news of this sort of situation gets into the papers, it gets distorted out of proportion. We have no intention of flooding Richmond Hill with visitors. If you say NO we will turn our backs . . . but you would be foolish. He then asked Mr. Kirk to read the report of the author- ity as presented by their experts. Then the meeting was thrown open to discussion in a question and answer period. Mr. J. Y. Lepper of Mill St. asked, “You say ‘beauty spot.‘ What else do you have in mind beside parking lots?” Mr. Saur- ioi answered, “We will leave the beauty as is. The dump and the water will be cleaned. We will put in fish, docks and trails, pub- lic washrooms, and refuse recep- tacles, and then you take over”. Mr. Lepper: “It would be better if the parking lot were at some other place out of the way fur- ther north.” Mr. Sauriol: “if that recommendation was worth anyâ€" thing, it would be used". Mr. Plaxton: We discussed the sit- uation. There will be some park- ing on Mill street, but it will be minimized in that area." Mr. Harry Sayers of Starlight Crescent said. ‘The pond has been fine for the last 34 years. Only last year did it begin to get plug- ged up. Is your plan a guarantee that this will not occur again?” Mr. Sauriol: "The authority owns a similar pond near Thornhill. which must be maintained to our high standards. This pond, like yours would be. is kept clean by a steady flow of Water". Mr. A. Harvey of Mill Street asked the first of many questions: “if the 75 feet of land is not ac- quired, will the town do the job by themselves)". Mr. Plaxton: “There is no other plan around. if the land was not acquired, he would not go ahead without the conservation authority.“ Why Docks? 311's. lchonlglc of Wood Lane sail, "Why fish and docks? Those things will bring undesirable characters who leave empty beer and liquor bottles lying around. With the children passing that area. i don‘t think it is a good idea.” .\lr.

Mr, Sauriol; “That is left to the lov. n after this plan is ex- ecuted". .\lr‘. Plnxlon' “The an- tCominucd on pace :1) the town. First item on the agenda of the Richmond Hill Tovm Council meeting last Tuesday night was police business presented by Councillor J. Haggart. After reading a report of the meeting of police officials with the Rich- mond Hill school board, Mr. Hag- gart made a motion based on rec- ommendations from that meet- ing. He moved that a speed limit of 25 mph. in school zones be adopted along with a crossing. guard at Church and Markham streets. Seconded by Councillor S. Tinker. the motion was carried. ‘During the period of discussion. Mayor K. Tomlin advised the council he had met with the To- ronto and York Roads Commis- sion and discussed this resolution. They had agreed With him that it was a good thing, and passed a resolution giving permission to install a manual signal at Church and Markham. As soon as the road has been paved, work in this direction will proceed. Street Signs The next item of police busi~ ness presented by Councillor Hag- gart concerned pedestrian cross~ ing signs to be placed on Mark~ ham Road, and the painting of crosswalks on Sussex Street, as requested by the school board. Mr. Haggart moved that this work be done immediately, and was seconded by Councillor J. Patcr~ son. At the vote, the motion was carried. Stop signs were involved in the third motion to be presented by Councillor Haggart for the police department. He stated that al- though Chief ‘R. 1*."Robbms_dis- agreed with him on the subject, he was going to make the motion that stop signs at 56 intersections be changed to ‘yield of right of way’ signs. The intersections in qucstion generally involved streets that are now ‘stops’ lead- ing to others not so travelled. For example he mentioned Star- light Crescent into Tareyton Road; and Maple Avenue into Paliser Crescent. The second sec- tion of this motion regarded the reversing of stop signs at Essex and Elmwood Avenues; and Sus- sex and Elmwood Avenues: Un- der this proposal the stop street would be Elmwood in both cases. The last part of this motion con- cerned the painting of a pedest- rian crosswalk on Church Street at the parking lot at the rear of the Richmond Theatre because so many children passed through the parking lot on their way to school. Before Mr. Haggart moved that the motion be adopted, he added two more sections: the reversal of a stop sign at Fernlcigh Circle and Maralim Road. where Maraâ€" lim is now the stop street; and lastly, that pedestrian crosswalks be painted on Church Street at Roseview Avenue; on Beaverton Road at Fesserton Road; and chil- dren's crossing signs to be erect- ed on F'esserton Road. The motion was seconded by Councillor J. ‘Paterson. During the discussion on the resolution, Deputy Reeve D. Plaxton pointed out that ‘yield’ signs increase the accident hazard at intersections, and are too ambiguous in the event of an accident. The motion was carried in the ' ole. More Police Again speaking for the police department. Councillor J. Haggart said that Chief R. P. Robbins had asked for two more constables: one man to complete a shift; and the other to make the changing of shifts easier for other men on the force. Councillor S. Tinker asked: “The last addition of two cruis- ers was supposed to alleviate the problem. is this thing going to snowball?” Mayor K. Tomlin add- ed. “Already this year we have given the police department two fully equipped cruisers and an el- cctronic speed device. I feel they have had enough for this year, and that this request should be shelved until 1959. Our assess~ ment will increase at the end of December to $24 million, and I feel we would be in a better posi- tion financially to consider the request next year.” On the May- or‘s recommendation then. the request was referred to the fin< ance committee for further dis- cussion. In a quick motion, Councillor J. Haggart moved that the police de- partment be given another type- writer. Seconded by Councillor J. Paterson, the motion was carried after Deputy Reeve D. Plaxton pointed out that the motion was for ‘a’ typewriter.and,.that this did not necessarily mean a new one. - Court Here In a move that met with coun- cil‘s hearty approval, Councillor J. Haggart made a motion based on a request by Chief Constable R. P. Robbins. He moved that ef- forts be made on the part of coun- cil to have a magistrate’s court held in Richmond Hill, and that th: town acquire the appointment of another Justice of the Peace for the community. Seconded by Councillor S. Tinker, the motion was carried. Chief R. P. Robbins was pres- ent to assist in the discussion of the next motion concerning the building of a police compound for impounded cars. At the request of Mayor K. Tomlin, Chief Robbins said that sometimes cars were im- pounded for as long as Six months. At the present time, the force had twelve cars on its hands with no place to put them. As a result. they were having to store them in garages all over town. He also explained that the town was responsible for the impounded cars, but not if proper precautions were taken. Therefore, Councillor J. Haggart moved that a fenced in compound large enough for 18 cars be constructed near the mun- icipal garage. The motion was seconded by Councillor J. Pater- son, and carried at the vote. Holiday Week-end Quiet For Police uvcr the Thanksgiving holiday weekend" things were remark- ably quiet, according to Chief C. Wideman of Markham Township Police and Chief J. Davidson of the Vaughan Township Police. There were quite a number of minor auto accidents on the high- ways. but none to speak of in either township. Chief R. Robbins of Richmond Hill Police, howcvcr. said his department had a little more activity. On October 10. a car driven by Adrian Clawatcr of South Mona- ghan township skiddcd on the slippery surface of Markham Rd. near Lennox Avenue. and smash- ed into parked cars owned by Franz Flicner of Toronto and Nicholas Jeromkin of Toronto. Total damage was estimated at $300 by Sgt. Raincy who investi- gated. No charges will be laid. in front of the Cities Service station on Yongc Street south in Richmond Hill on October 13. another crash resulted in minor damage. The accident was investi- tatcd bv Cons. Sirirr who found the drivers to be Charles Bone of Newmarkct and Lillian Mackie of Thornhill. These two incidents brought the total 10 63 minor occurcnces investigated by the busy Rich- mond Hill police force who offi- cially looked upon it as "a quiet work." in court on the Magistrate's morning of October )4. Claude White of no fixed address was, sentenced to six months in jail for uttering a forged document and to three months to run con< current on a charge of theft. Along with White, a John Flick- er of Newmarket was sentenced to six months for forgery and to three months concurrent on the same charge of theft, Sgt. Raincy and BC. Young were responsible for the investigation. AURORA : Two subdividcrs are sccking permission to establish shopping centres near each other near the Regency Acres arca. Al- an Cossar is planning to build a centre with 660 foot frontage on Yongc Street and facing Murray Drives. He owns this parcel of land. The Canadian Building Corporation wants to build a cen- tre of undisclosed size on the company‘s Regency Acres prop- erty. Both applications will [be put before the town planning board at a special meeting. ACCIDENT RECORD RICHMOND BILL 1958 ________________.â€" FATALITIES 0 ACCIDENTS I!" U Bill
