Mr. Elson stated that this award by the music club was for outstanding achievement in the field of music. Judy received $50 to go toward furthering her mus- ical education. She is a grade XI student at Thornhill and a for- mer pupil of Carrville public school‘ She will celebrate her 16th birthday on December 1. Happy birthday. Judy. Another former pupil of Can'- ville school, Jim Green. son of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Green. Mill Road. was presented with his Secondary School graduation dip- loma having obtained five lsts and two 2nds at the same com- mencement. Mr. Everlst pointed out that as the child learns these basic skills he learns to put them to work in all the school program. The dis- cussion went on to show how these skills affect the reading in later grades. Mrs. Dunleavey and Mrs. Pashlier answered various questions put to them by the chairman. Mr. Everist. On wheth- er silent or oral reading was better in the middle grades it was generally felt that silent reading was of more importance after the children had passed through the primary grades. It has been estimated that about 90% of all adult reading is silent reading. During silent reading the child is made to answer cer- tain questions such as distinguish- ing between important and non- important meaning in a passage, and secondly, seeking out the meaning of new words using con- text clues in the story. The use of a dictionary both at school and at home when the child finds a new word was ad- vocated as‘an excellent way of building a child's vocabulary.

He was a veterinary surgeon and kept very fine horses. An old timer recalls’ the lovely flower beds, the well kept lawns surrounded by beautiful trees. When Mr. Mc- Elroy sold the farm he moved to Toronto where he had a livery stable. The square plan brick house, situated on the east side of No. 11 highway about one quarter mile north of the Elgin Mills sideroad. was built about 1835 by a Mr. Bernard on a crown grant of about 110 acres. It was a beau- tiful residence with its high ceil- ings, six fireplaces and .a lovely wide staircase. There was one room upstairs in the centre of the house with no windows. As one story goes this was a gambling room but still another story told about the room is that Mrs. Ber- nard (whose sons attended Upper Canada College) was afraid of draughts and night air and want- ed a windowless inner room in which her boys could study with- out “impairing their health.” There was once a handsome coach house at the rear of the house and the barns were located to the north of the house. Mr Bill Hearn was the next owner and then the Fobey family who live'd there for many years. Some of the frontage on Yonge Street was sold as building lots.

A familiar old landmark at El- gin Mills now lies a mass of broken brick â€" ‘a sad sight to many passersby who have admir- ed the picturesque house for many years. What changes this old house has witnessed since the far off horse and buggy days to this modern jetrage!‘ In recent years Mrs. T O‘Neill and her son Terry lived in the old house until Terry married and Mrs. O’Neill settled elsewhere.

Every year the Metropolitan Conserva- tion Authority publishes a list of its properties with a map and a description of each and the facil- ities available. To designate our area in print as a Park with pic- nic tables. toilets, fishing. nature trails, and parking for numbers of cars, is to invite the citizens of the Metropolitan Area to descend on Richmond Hill in great num- bers. We feel that the only way to avoid this catastrophe is to re- fer to the area from the outset as a ‘Conservation Area' and never as a ‘park’, and to ensure that the facilities provided are the mini- mum required for that purpose. The plan submitted to Rich- mond Hill by the Metropolitan Authority is similar to that car. ried out in the development of its large parks, for example, Boyd Park. Albion Hills Park. and Greenwood Park. These are large areas. hundreds of acres in e).- tent, where it is possible to have both recreational areas and also large conservation areas left in the natural state. “The Richmond Hill Naturalists are pleased that a plan is under consideration to rescue our pond area from the state of_ neglect that has existed for many years. Since this area is a natural heritage, the treatment it receives is of the utmost importance to Richmond Hill's present and future citizens. Therefore we have read with pleasure and relief the report submitted to Council by Rich- mond Hill’s Chairman of Parks. which modifies the original pro- posals of the Metropolitan Con- sergation Authority. ' In contrast, Richmond Hill has a small area of a few acres. sit- uated in the midst of a thickly populated town, and it does not lend itself to the same treatment. The following resolution was passed unanimously by the Rich- mond Hill Naturalists at their regular meeting on Friday, Nov- ember 21, 1958. and it is to be presented to the Council of the Town of Richmond Hill.

This organization is naturally most concerned that the area con- tinue to attract wild-life. Many of our citizens will find much pleasure and relaxation in a visit to this beauty spot, when access to it has been made possible. The area. too. is ideal for the teach- ing of nature to school children, Guides, Brownies“ Scouts and Cubs. Ther is no similar area for miles around. We take note of the fact that the Metropolitan Conservation Authority agreed to make only such developments as it might be asked to make by the Council of the Town of Richmond Hill. We, therefore. urge Council to state, not only the developments reQuir- ed, but also to make definite the limits to which such will be car- rie . ' We question. also. the advisa- bility of deeding away this val- uable area which Richmond Hill citizens have inherited. For the development of such a Conservation Area, we suggest the following: (1) Parking space for not more than 25 cars. to take care of Richâ€" mond Hill citizens who live at a distance from the area. (3) Benches. but no tables, at intervals along the trail. (4) Toilet facilities in the buildâ€" ing on Mill St. to accommodate. among others, the skaters 1n win- ter. The area is too small to require further facilities; a toilet at the north end would only in- vite mischief. This organization questions whether the result of cleaning the pond justifies the expenditure involved. ~ (2) A nature trail through the area with a bridge across the stream. dren (5) No undergrowth to be re- moved except to provide the na- ture trail. (6) The marsh be retained.
