Ap- proximately 62 per cent of the cases are for people v'vithout winipal. residence. In the ‘an- _T1'al welfare report it was said that Scarboro had the largest number -of persons on relief last April for. 15.years. Mayor Ken Tomlin “Fit'To Be Tied” Mayor Ken Tomlin Was “fit to ‘be tied," when he appear- ed before Vaughan Township Council last Monday morn- ing. The' jovial mayor told a sympathetic audience of lis- teners (who had had to buck last Monday‘s bad Snowstorm) that his bow tie had literally popped off, when he was en- deavouring to get his car out of a snow-clogged road, in order to keep. his 10:30 am. appointment with ‘Vaughan Council on time. He did} too. The clock in the Maple council chamber registered 10:25 am. on his arrival. Contrary to statements of last week, that Vaughan could “tie up" his request for annexation if it wanted to, no ‘one offered him ‘a tie bf any kind however â€"â€" other than thatnf co-operation. Caming Events c1w35 Mayor Tomlin replied, “Per- haps we could arrange some sort of co-operatlve development south Reeve John Perry asked that a walkway be provided by the sub- divider from the Elgin sideroad to 0. M. MacKillop Public School, to which Mr. Griffin replied, “We do have a piece of land to which we can get access for the child- ren. We would definitely provide access for the children with a walkway, until a road develops from the edge of the annexation to the E1gin."_ 7 ‘Arranged by Mrs. John Graham the program c nsisted of three Shakespeari‘an haracterizations: Portia from 'Julius Caesar by Marylo Graham; Mistress Quick- ly ‘fmm theMerry Wives of Wind- sor. by Beth Jones. and Hermione from the Winter’s Tale by Thelma MacInnes. William Ferguson de- lighted the large audience with two groups of songs. his rich bass voice doing;r full justice to the rol- lickinzmelodies of such songs as Captain Mac and the Big Bass Viol. Wanda Trott and Margaret Bergin thrilled everyone with their interpretation in pOetry readings. Mrs. Trott choosing The Barrel Organ by Alfred Noyes, and Mrs. Bergin three poems very different in Tone, ' Tarantella. Fear by Rudyard Kinling and Bredon Hill by A. E. Houseman. Mr. D. Hardon moved a hearty vote of thanks to the performers for their contribution to the af- ternoon. The reeve of Vaughan then ask- ed for help in developing the Elgin Mills area, but Mayor Tom- lin regretfully stated there was not sufficient water or sewage service for the town to extend its services outside its own area. Vnrled'selections by six Curtain Club members provided the en- tertainment at the local Senior Citizens’ Club regular February meeting' held in the Education Building of the Richmond Hill United Church. Mayor Ken Tomlin, Reeve Floyd Perkins and Mr. John Griffin met with Vaughan Township Council on Mon- day morning, when three members of Vaughan Council approved the town’s annexation of approximately 30 acres of land north of the Richmond Heights Plaza. Deputy- reeve Vic Ryder is still absent owing to iHness. Mayor Tomlin said in addressing council, “We are not too fond of the piece-meal annexation we have exper- ienced betweenRichmond Hill and Vaughan Township during the last few years. but when Mr. Grifiin came be- fore us with this proposition (for 125 residences and a further addition to the plaza stores to the north of the shopping centre) we decided to go along with it, providing it is agreeable to you.” - When Reeve Perry asked, “You j.:§t can’t grov_i_de sery_ice;s?’.” Curtain Club Members Entertain Sr. Citizens The valentine theme of the meeting was carried out when Mr. A. E. Plewman announced that for the refreshment period the gentlemen would wait upon the ladies. and the special refresh- ments that had been prepared by Mrs. Davis's committee were handed around in gallant style.

Those taking part in the official ceremony seen above are, Lou Reid, Rev. J. W. Newton-Smith, l.ay Stone For St. Gabriel Church Hall Those who would like to be- come home members of the club were asked to‘ call Mr. Wm.,J. Medhurst at TU. 4-4078, as the committee felt that home-mem- bership should be expanded to help fulfil the club’s purposes. Following Councillor William Anstey's flat statement, “We can’t stand in the way of progress," Reeve Perry declared, “Our plan is to assist in development but we want something for Vaughan.” Mrs. Don Fettes announced that a further work meeting would be held February 24. at which Mrs. Biladeau would show slides of Northern Canada. of the Hill for our .two municipal- ities, if we can-get permission from Dr. Berry." (Dr. Berry is general manager of the Ontario Water Resources Commission). Mayor Tomlinpointed out that the land south of the townvof Richmond Hill would provide a natural fall. Councillor Anstey then moved that the annexation be approved, Councillorâ€"Bruce Ralph seconded the motion which carried with a vote from Councillor Jesse Bry- Mayor Tomlin: “We can’t give anything but co-operation.” 5011.

The deputation was com- posed of James Smith. David Ground and Henry Zimmer- man. Mr. Smith stated that King Township was proceeding to discover .a source of water on their side of Yonge St. and residents on the Whit- church side were anxious that the local township co- operate so that the entire area might be serviced. ‘ He said that if the two small well sites at present being drilled in King did not produce sufficient water, it was proposed to investigate the possibility of securing water from Bond Lake. be held during Education Week in the Richmond Hill Separate Schools at Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady Help of Christians, on Thursday evening, March 5, from 6.30 to 9 p.m., when teachers will be in their classrooms to meet with parents.

To Frontages Markham Township Council ex-. pressed disappointment Monday when informed in a written re- port by Planning Director R. For- rest that the Metro Planning Board has indicated it would strongly oppose any plan to de- velop the 120 acre subdivision at Unionville on lots with a frontage of 75 feet and containing 10,000 square feet. Council had earlier agreed to a reduction in the lot frontages from 100 to 75 feet pro- viding the subdivider supplied storm sewers, gutters and curbs. Originally the subdivider had sug- gested a plan of open drainage with catch basins, but this proved unacceptable to council. Metro stated Markham’s plan if accepted would eventually re- quire a sewage disposal plant. Mr. Forrest reported that Metro fa- voured lots 1/2 acre in size. Metro will also study the matter of storm sewers for the subdivision. “We instructed the planning di- rector to seek Metro’s approval, not an opinion." stated Deputy- rieve W.‘De’an, who acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence of Reeve W. L. Clark.

Barbara Bain, centre of the group The planning director and en- gineer will meet with council Fri- day regarding not only the Union- ville Subdivision but also Vaugh- an‘s proposed Spring Valley Sub- division located south of Thorn- hill. Council has received a long brief from Vaughan outlining the drainage in the subdivision, which aspect Markham is vitally inter- ested in. For some time Mark- ham has maintained such a large development will present a drain- age problem for its residents on the east side of Yonge Street. Among other things it will affect three streams flowing through Thomhill and Doncaster. Councillor J, MacNeil, the en- gineeri and planning director met with representatives of Holy Cross Cemetery at Langstaff Sat- urday morning regarding the pro- posed extension of Ruggles Ave- nue across the cemetery property to the streets in the Selkirk Sub- division. The cemetery officials have asked council if they plan any extension of Essex Avenue in the future. An application from Mr. C. Thompson of Langstaff for a sec- ond hand dealers’ license for his property was held over for fur- ther study by council. Mr. Thomp- son's property is 84 feet by 400 feet, and he plans to establish a store for the sale of used car parts. Council made it clear the property couldn’t be used for a wrecking yard. Such yards are banned in Markham. Councillor Unionville Subdivision EAST GWILLIMBURY â€"â€" Mr. H. Wright has been appointed Warble Fly Inspector for the township for the coming year. He will be paid at the rate of $1.00 an hour plus eight cents a mile for mileage. _ SCARBORO : The township is- sued 702 permits valued at $2,- 391,360 for January 1959, which was a decrease of $819,140 from the corresponding month of 1958, when 606 permits were issued, valued at $3,210,500. lovely Que'en Receives Her Crown Markham’s Police Committee (Councillors Mumberson and Mac- Neil) will, shortly ‘confer with their opposite members on Mark- ham Village Council regarding a proposal by the village for a tele- phone communication system be- tween the two forces. Under the system any calls not answered by the three member village force would be handled by the township police. “This could work into a lovely racket fer Markham Vil- lage,” remarked Councillor Mum- berson. He felt the township po- lice could vcry well find them- selves handling the village calls for eight hours in every 24. ‘ L. Mumberson wanted to know the feeling of the residents liv- ing east and south of Mr. Thomp- son’s property. Clerk H. Crisp maintained council couldn’t issue such a license as the area in ques- tion is zoned industrial. “You are asking council to breathlts own by-law,” stated Mr. Crisp. First of all a director is at): pointed by the club. He or she may be a professional or a mem- ber of the club and for this play, the club have chosen their vice- president, Mrs. Cicely Thomson to undertake the onerous task, and we would point out that directing a play is probably the hardest role of the lot. Mrs. Thomson has many years. of theatrical back- ground -- including directing â€" to qualify her for this responsible appointment. Council has approved the in- stallation of a teletype machine in the police office. The’teletype will record all Metro calls and aid the police in tracing stolen cars. The rental fee will amount to $60.00 a month. ' Rehearsals are now well under way for the Curtain Club’s spring presentation of Kind Lady and we have often wondered whether our readers have any idea just how tlzie Curtain Club plays are select- 9 . Secondly, a play selection com- mittee is appointed whose job it is to read the plays suggested by the director. This year for ex- ample no less than fourteen plays were studied and screened. With an amateur production there are many limiting factors to take into account, such as how many men’s parts, because male mem- bers are in the minority. How many costumes are required, be- cause funds are not plentiful. Isrit a play that is entirely written around one character, because the club likes to have a more or less equal share of responsibility among the cast and so on and so forth. Usually, the play selection committee finally comes up with three plays from which the direc- tor chooses the play that you the audience will see.

He has already met with the board and the archiu tect and . is most enthusiastic about the. plans for the new lib- rary building. With increased facilities and expert guidance the library should develop -rapidly and effectively to meet the grow- ing needs of the town.
