Mrs. G. Bridger was program convenor. She read an article about the hobby of Mr. E. G. Byrne, a lam'er of Bathurst, New Brunswick. 011 Mlscou Island, he carries on experimental farming with marked success with veget- ables and berries. The topic for the February meeting of Vellore Sr. Women's Institute was "Hobbies" and the motto. “Hobbies are personality outlets." The response to the roll call was to tell how to use spare time in winter. For Mrs. E. Bryson, Mrs. J. Bryson talked about the recent project of the 4H Club â€" Work- lng With Wool. She displayed one of the skirts made by the girls and a note book which con- tained notes on the work with wool, the club story and pictures of patterns. I “Accordingly. then.

How- ever, there is one type of activity which has been carried on by some Authorities. namely histori- cal sites and pioneer villages. which while important and of great interest to many people is not basically the conservation of natural resources.

P.Eng., Author- lty chairman: Reeve Dorothy Hague of Swansea. chairman of the historic sites advisory board, and C. R. Purcell, chairman of the R.D.H.P. watershed advisory board.

She suggested we use a budget system and rec-m1- mended panel discussions as part of our program. - On behalf of our branch mem- bers. the president, Mrs. Bishop, extended best wishes to Mrs. G Old who is moving to England and tokens of remembrance were given to her. Mr. MacDonneIl added that the M.T.R.C.A.'s Pioneer Museum was also a project of great educa- tional interest which attracted thousands of visitors. including school children, every year. ’The meeting was closed by singing "God Save the Queen" and lunch was then served. “Several thousand people flock annually to this event and it has been a most valuable means of interesting and educating the public, not only in local pioneer history but also in the overall conservation objectives of the Authority." he stated. Other members also voiced pro- tests against the move. W. S. MacDonneil, information and edu- cation advisory board chairman. said the Authority's finest piece of public relations work has come out of the annual Pioneer Festi- val commenced two years ago. Mrs. Hague said she was “not prepared to accept this without strong protest. since it has always been my understanding that the provincial government encourages development and restoration of historic sites." She added that the public has become very interested in pioneer history and "this ac- tion by the government comes at a very inopportune timer." no grants will be made for the purchasing and restoration of his- toric places such as pioneer vil- lages and articles of historic va- lue. However. where such histor- ical projects have been commenc- ed it is my opinion that they should be continued. but at the expense of the Authority.” At its meeting. the M.T.R.C.A. executive described the govern- ment’s action as “illogical.” “ill- timed” and “short-sighted." Duh of £5th Tux Savlng S 39 95 150 240 BWI The Home and School Associa- tion at Concord has, as usual, pro- vided a very interesting bill-of- fare this season. The meetings have all been lively and inform- ative, the annual games night was a great success, both socially and financially, and a real, old fash- ioned Christmas concert was en- joyed by the entire school popula- tion and their parents in Decem- ber. With the proceeds from these events, the Association pur- chased a film strip projector for the school. It is hoped that the dance will raise enough to finance the bus to take the‘ children for the swimming lessons next sum- mer, as ‘well as the school picnic and other expenses. The February 9th meeting of the Concord Home and School Association was well attended. Mr. Knight introduced Mr. John Perry, Reeve of Vaughan Town- ship. who outlined the civil de- fense plans for York County. A film “The Waking Point” was viewed with interest and Mr. Perry then introduced Mr. R. Grant. civil defense coâ€"ordinator of Markham Township. Mr. Grant made a few general obser- vations on the need for civil de- fense and then, possibly to his rer gret. invited questions from the audience. Aroused just as much by Mr. Grant's assumption that an atomic war is inevitable. as by the evident lack of precise infor- mation as to how to cope with it, there was a spirited exchange. Mr. Grant admitted that Civil Defense was just in the planning stage and stated that by next fall th-;' would be ready to “instruct our instructors" in civil defense measures. The meeting adjourn- ed for refreshments. where the discussion was continued for some time. Watch for a future meeting arising out of this urgent ques- tlon. Friday February 20th is the night of the big dance, an annual social event with the Concord Home and School Association. The place is the Maple Commun- ity Hall and tickets may be bought at the door or from any member of the executive. Mr. Knight, at AV. 5-1034. can answer any questions. The tickets entitle the holder (whether present at the dance or not) to a chance to win an attractive clock-radio. There will also be several other lucky prizes. While not intended primarily as a money-raising event. the committee has gone to consider- able expense to make the dance a success, and it is hoped that the community will give its full sup- port. The Jolly Miller Orchestra will be on hand to keep things lively, and there will be both square dancing and modern. Concord H. 8. S. Annual Dance Fri.

SIMS Projects planned for 1959 in- clude the grading and paving of Bayview Avenue from Steeles Avenue to No. 7 Highway and the clearing, fencing and moving of the hydro poles on Bayview from No. '7 Highway to Markham Rd. This project will cost $300,000.00. The grading and gravelling of the Markham-Whitchurch Townline will cost another $250,000.00. A start will be made on the grading and paving of Keele Street from No. 7 Highway to Maple. The commission will spend $5,000.00 on this project in 1959. A sum of $40,000.00 will be spent towards the eventual grading and paving of the Don Mills Road from John Street in Thornhill to Victoria Square. The Buttonvllle Bridge on the Don Mills Road will be widened at a cost of $14,500.00. The Curtis Bridge at Oak Ridges will be rebuilt at a cost of $20,- 000.00. In a summary of commission operations since the inception of Metro five years ago, it was stated that $4,201,229.14 was spent on new construction and $2,610,568.- 92 on maintenance. Towards these expenditures the province con- tributed $3,573,002.06, Metro $1,- 515,571.40, and the county $1.- 710,046.77. The construction expenditure during this period supplied 31.6 miles of new grading and paving on roads which were previously narrow gravel roads and also re- built by grading, gravelling and paving 33.0 miles of deteriorated pavements. In other words a total of 64.6 miles of new,wider pave- ments have been constructed over newly constructed gravel base. This means that one-third of the system has received new surfac- ing since 1954. in 1958. Ah maintenance work as suri re-surfacing, gravel, and winter main‘ The policy has been to con- struct permanent hard-surfaced roads with the result that al- though there has been a substan- tial increase in the volume of traffic, total maintenance costs have decreased. It was reported at the Novem- ber session that three new one- way plows were being purchased to be interchangeable with the large V-plows. and that seven new metal slush scrapers were being purchased to replace old wooden plows. These units are now :11 In their report presented to York County Council last week. the five member Toronto and York Roads Commission set their 1959 budget at $435,400.00. This is an increase of $23,000.00 over the 1958 figure of $412,000. The commission actually finished their 1958 operations with a surplus of $69,996.64. ' In addition to the grading and paving represented above. four concrete bridges were built in 1954, two in 1955, one in 1956 and three in 1957. Also one tim- ber structure was built in 1956 and a timber bridge was built in 1957 as a joint project with the County of Simcoe. To complete the above con- struction programme a total of 35 contracts have been awarded: ,five in 1954, three in 1955. eight in 1956. eleven in 1957, and eight. in 1958. Also awarded were 19 maintenance contracts for such This experience illustrates the value of adhering to a long range plan of road improvements and the savings which may be deriv- ed from it. The commission reported that all the projects planned for 1958 were completed before the winter weather struck in December. To date, the winter has been severe.

This policy has been accepted by the contractors in principle and on four different jobs it was necessary to assess the contractor an amount to cover non-completion of the project within the time limit. The economy-mind- ed man orders our fuel oil because from the finest oil you can expect the finest bur- ner performance per gallon. As this was the first time such a policy had been introduced by the commission, it was necessary to gain the support and co-oper- ation of the contractors in en- forcing the plan. Again, as this was a new departure it was nec- essary to discuss openly with the contractor the problems involved in enforcement and to agree as to the period for which amounts should be charged for his failure to complete his job on time. The commission has launched a winter works programme to stimulate employment during the winter months by awhrding a contract for the extension of six narrow concrete culverts on the Aurora Road. West of Aurora. Forms have been constructed in the shops for these culverts and thg field work has now commen- ce . Plans are being studied for the construction of a new mainten- ance depot and for office accom- modation for the commission’s staff.

The high cost of farm machin- ery was discussed in the Farm Forums on Monday evening. Feb- ruary 9. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Keffer. the Edgeley Farm Forum findings indicated that the members think their in- vestment in farm equipment and costs of its operations too high. To best meet this problem. the Forum decided that co-operative ownership could work with a la- ther-sou or brother agreement. Greater versatility in the use of equipment on the farm was also suggested as another way to meet the problem. Custom work, by having a working agreement with a neighbour whereby each man owns and services his own ma- chines, especially in a good work- ing set~up such as one man own- ing a baler and the other a com- bine. should help to solve some of the problems, providing it is a strictly business agreement.

This was apparently done in Maple recently and prov- ed very successful. Nothing def- inite was decided about having a pick-up in Concord. The men allso discussed their coming elec- tons.
