It is not expected that the shift will cause any confusion in listeners’ minds because of the close adjacencies of the old and new frequencies. ' CJRH To Go On 24 Wow Basis Mr. Haysuggested that the res- idents join in support of the Thornhill Ratepayers Association, whose members are engaging in an active letter-writing campaign to the following people: John Per- ry, Reeve of Vaughan Township; Mr. Fred Stinson, M.P. and Mr. C. A. Cathers, M.P., Conservative representatives, Federal Gov- ernment, Mr. Donald Gordon, President of the C.N.R.. Any res- ident who opposes the location of' the yards is invited to join in this campaign. Many felt that we As the president was out of town, Mr. Ed Hay acted as chair- man for the first part of the meeting when the subject dis- cussed was the new C.N.R. mar- shalling yard. As plans now stand, the yard will be just across Keele St., at the western end of the subdivision. The general feeling among residents is, understandab- ly, an uneasy one for many rea- sons. Homeowners feel that: (1) Value of their land will decrease; (2) Their children will be endan- gered; (3)There will be constant noise; (4) The air will be pollut- ed to certain extent. * Over 70 residents of the Keffer Subdivision attended the first meeting of the new ratepayers’ association held last Friday night at Concord Public School. Elect- ed as president of the new assoc- iation was Mr. Henry Nordin, of Garden Ave. Along with Mrs. George Pinkett, secretary, he will form the nucleus of the associa- tion. Mr. Nordin has been given the right to add members to the efilecutive if he deems it advis- a e.

Guest speaker for the evening ,was Mr. C. A. Wilkinson, director ‘of audio-visual aids for Scarboro Township. Mr. Wilkinson gave each person a list of questions in social studies at the grade 8 level. A film was shown on the Queen opening Parliament, after which those present answered the us:- tlons given to them. Mr. Wi kin- son also showed a film strip, “The Big, Brown Bear", designed to help junior grades, Each picture had a portion of the story print-t ed beneath it. The speaker illus-‘ trated how this helped to teach, the child how to recognize new words and‘ how to spell, them. Mr. : Wilkinson complimented Concord: teachers on their use of audiooi visual aids, and the association on its act of buying two projec- tors for the school. Mr. Wilkinson also remarked on the fact that seldom had he seen a school so attractively decorated with art work and visual aids made by the pupils themselves. The second part of the meet- ing took the form of a discussion on the flooding caused by imâ€" proper drainage in the subdivis- ion. Mr. Ernie Backus took over as chairman, as Mr. Hay felt he perhaps did not have as much specific information on the sub- ject. Vaughan Council has been approached by several residents regarding thisrproblem of flood- ing and he poor road conditions resulting from'it. No satisfaction was received from Council regar- ding these pleas. Another meet- ing will be held on Friday, March 20, at 7.45 pm. at the School, and it is hoped that members of the Venghan Council Will be present. Let‘s have as close to 100 per cent attendance as possible. ‘ Home & School 4 would be “kicking a dead horse”, buLat least we can say we tried. NORTH YORK: It looks as though constructibn of a new bridge over the Don River at Bay- view Ave. - Lawrence Ave. will begin this year. The Metro Roads Department has recommended that the work be included in Met- ro’s 1959 budget. The recommen- dation is expected to be approved by Metro Council. ’ AURORA: Sgt. Mike Step1.-ns left Aurora last week for a new posting with the RCAF at Fon- tainebleau. France. Mrs. Steph- ens, who is in Aurora, expects to go to France with the family when school finishes this spring. The program would involve the construction of 13 multi-purpose dams on the watersheds, improve- ments to the stream channels and acquisition of 7,600 acres of flood- pronerland. _ If the program is approved by municipal, provincial and federal authorities, the cost will be borne According to Grant Henderson, Woodbridge. chairman of the flood and pollution control advis- ory board, the following munici- palities have agreed to pay their share of the cost in carrying out the $35,000,000 project: Bramp- ton, Stouffville, Woodbridge, Bolâ€" ton, Ajax and the Townships of Albion, Toronto-Gor’e, Vaughan and Uxbridge. The remaining 14 municipalit- ies including Metro Toronto are presently being approached by the authority regarding their ap- proval of the program. There has been unanimous ap- proval of the regional flood con- trol and water conservation pro- gram proposed by the Metropoli- tan Toronto 8: Region Conserva- tion Authority by the nine muni- cipalities already approached on the subject by MTRCA officials. Nine Councils Approve Flood 8. Water Conservation Program » However, on the brighter side, Mr. Gordon has said that the mar- shalling yard would be of great benefit to Vaughan Township and other localities in which the rail. way will be located. He said that it will bring industry and make this area the greatest industrial While some farmers expect that ‘the location of the rail yards will ‘draw industry to the district and thus bring growth and prosperity in its wake, new home-owners. es- pecially in the new subdivision and along Keele St., are fearful of a drop in their housing values. Many had moved‘ to. this area to enjoy such advantages of suburb- an living as fresh air and quiet~ ness. Now with the prospect of deisels filling the air with their oily smell and their constant beeping, it seems as though the pleasant life that the suburb has afforded is about to come to an end. But the great writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that civilization pays a price for pro- gress. “For everything that is given, something is takenj’ Emer- son wrote. So pay something we must, it seems. Although there had been a flurry of land buying ac- tivity in the community during the past two weeks, the announcement of the location of the marshalling yard came as a surprise to most residents, who had expected that it woald be located farther north. By Mrs. Raymond Stuart Well, the word is out at last, and with the announce- ment by Mr. Donald Gordon, C.N.R. president, that a doubâ€" le track railway and a marshalling yard will soon be lo- cated in the heart of Edgeley, some mixed feelings about it have been expressed. Location C.N.R. Yards Surprise Edgeley PeOple The Edgeley Farm Forum members haVe had experiences with property easements with the Bell Telephone Co. and these were quite favorable, but not so favorable with highways. Every farmer was approached individ- ually and was not offered equal valuation in the same locality. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson played some original works for piano Piano solos were performed by Nancy Kerrigan, Robin and Kirby Brock, Lynda Cooper, Beverley Taylor, Douglas James and Kar- en Jacob, Kirby Brock and Doug- 13.; James also played a piano duet On Monday evening, March 9 the Farm Forums discussed land acggisitig1_an_d its implications. Piano Benita! The piano pupils of Mr. Ray- mond R. Thompson, A.R.C.T., held their first recital last Sat- urday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thompso;. in Maplegrove Subdivision. Ten children and fourteen ults were accommodated in living room and provided an preciatlve faudience. land Acquisition â€" ls Farm Forum Topic During the spring Mr. Thomp- son resigned as secretary-treasur- er and from the board. He was replaced by Mrs. Martin Cleworth by the Maple School Board. Mrs. Meikle was- appointed secretary and Mrs. Kingsburgh appointed treasurer. In December, as Mrs. Meikle was leaving the village she resigned from the board and her office, being replaced by Mrs. W. J. Davis by the village trustees. Mrs. Kingsburgh asked to be re- lieved of the duties of treasurer. and Mr. Dyson was appointed treasurer. A new system of accounting has been instituted to make it more simple to prepare reports The same board and officers were appointed except Mr. An- drew Snlder as chairman of the village trustees replaced Mr. Kir- by Brock and was appointed vice- chairman of the board. Regular, well attended meetings of the board have been held each month except in July and August. The _ Maple Public Library Board held it’s annual meeting on Tuesday, March 10th. The chair- man of the Board, Mr. Wills Mac- lachlan presented his annual re- port' as follows: “During the second year of the library progress has been main- tained. New books have been lJrchased. More use has been made of the library and continued interest has been shown. Dr. G. Ross Lord. authority chairman, has estimated that the cost benfit ratio of the program would be $1.58 for every dollar spent, in addition to all of the other intangible benefits such as conservation, recreation and pol- lution control. over a 10-year period with Ottawa and Queen’s Park each paying {SW/2% and the municipalities paying the remaining 25 per cent. 'I‘he municipalities’ share -â€" $8,- 651,900 -- would be divided among them in proportion to the benefits received. The first stop was at Christie’s Bakery. It was most interesting to watch the bread-making pro- cess. On leaving, each lady was given a bag containing a loaf of bread and a jelly roll cake. Need by Mrs. Mabel Snider The March meeting of Vellore Senior Women’s Institute took the form of a bus trip to Toronto. Thirty-six ladies met at Vellore Memorial Hall and boarded the bus which left at 9.30 am. centre in Canada.

Present members of the board are: It was thought wise to collect statements of the origin of the Maple Public Library and have them on file for future reference. This has been done and from time to time information of progress will be added. An attempt has been made to ‘deVelop the pub» lic library on a sound ‘basis that will grow in value to the village as time goeg by." Generous friends have donated a number of books to the librtry and 339 new books have been purchased, making the number of books in the library 2,097.

First, a film wos shown depicting the handling of milk during the post hundred years. After this, we were taken out on a gallery from which we could look down on the machines as they were being operated. At this point bottles were being fill- ed with milk. On returning to the room where the film had been shown, Borden’s food products were the subject of discussion“ After this. dainty refreshments! were served. 1 less to say they were both delic~ ious.
