Reeve Perry suggested the mat ter be turned over to the commit- tee members, which include Councillors Anstey and Ralph, to find a solution.

Clerk McDonald suggested it be referred to the Department of Agriculture. Ready Mix ‘ Cement Plant With a request by letter for a permit to build a ready-mix cem- ent plant in Vaughan, the reeve said he was in favour of such an industry. It was then pointed out that the Municipal Planning Board was against cement plants for the tou'nship to which the reeve replied emphatically, “I say yes.” He then exclaimed. “Who runs this township? I'm sick of this Mliniclpal Board telling us what to do. The Municipal Board runs the township, does it? Who elects them? Were they elected at the last election? I didn't see their names on the ballot at the last township elections." Turning to the press the reeve said. “And you can print that.” “I never heard of them". he concluded.

The location was the sugar bush owned by Mr. Amos Baker. just west of Langstafi, and the visitors Messrs. P. Addison. S. R. Hamilton, H. Middleton and D. Drysdale, spent several interest- ing hours learning about the var- ious processes and procedures in- volved. Maple Lands & Forests Staff Visit Amos Baker Sugar Bush The fird jobs, carried out in sequence, were selecting the trees to be tapped, drilling the holes, placing the metal spiles in place and hanging the buckets. Mr. Baker, the owner, and his son, Paul Baker, chose the trees suitable for tapping, placing the point where the hole was to be drilled.

Decrease Conservation Allotment “Conservation is spending too much money." Reeve Perry said on hearing that Vaughan’s allot- ment on the budget for 1959 was $6,900. “I will not buy the bud- get Conservation has presented to us", he stated flatly. “I think we should say, as Metro does, we will give you so much. I think $3,000. is all this township can afford. I will entertain a motion from this council to that effect. That’s all it’s worth. These people ‘are not elected by the people -â€" and» they are quite ready to spend ourjmoney.” Councillor Bryson, Vaughan‘s representative on the Conserva- tion Authority said, “Conserva- tion is for all the people, we cannot afiord not to afford it." Councillor Anstey: “I’d be glad to make .a motion that we don’t exceed last year's allottment." Bryson: “It won’t do you any good.’ _ Councillor Ralph: "Why, have they the power of assessment?" Clerk McDonald: "If you don't approve the lexy they set. you appeal to the board of appeals. ’Anstey: "I understafid they spent $400,000 on advertising last year.” Reeve Perry then asked for a motion for an amount of $3,000 but although Councillor Anstey supported him with a motion, no seconder appeared forthcoming and the motion was dropped. Roads Councillor Ryder. head of the roads committee for the town- ship, received support in his re- quest for a double shift on road work during the summer months of the year. when his motion was seconded by Councillor Anste; and auprovcd by council. Councillor Anstey said, “Sum- mertime is the only time to do road work." Closely following‘the drillers an assistant carrying a pail full of spiles would gently tap the spile into each hole. A bucket was immediately placed on the spile by a third man and clear sap began to drip into the pail. Each evening sap is collected and transported to the evaporator for boiling. 1y fast and much less tiring than drilling into the tree by hand. Arrangements were made for the department staff to return to the operation prior to com- pletion of the sap run when they will be assisting the Bakers in collecting and boiling the sap and following the operation through to the final packaged product.

Always keep your Ontario Hospital Insurance Certificate handy, and present it to the hospital Admitting Department if hospital care becomes necessary for you or your eligible dependants. ONLY ONE CERTIFICATE is issued to each insured Single person and to each insured Family. As a precaution, each member of the family should have a separate note of the Hospital insurance Number for ready reference in case of sudden illness or accident. Ontario Hospital lnsurance benefits cannot be provided for ‘custodial' or ‘domiciliary’ patients i.e. persons whose medical conditions do not justify use of hospital accommodation and services, and who could be cared for at home or in some facility other than an approved hospital. S o . . Your Certificate and paid-up premiums entitle you and your eligible dependants to essential “inpatient” hospital services in standard ward accommodation of approved hospitals only, for as many days as such services are medically necessary. Benefits cease when the physician indicates hospital care is no longer necessary. It is important that your Ontario Hospital Insurance premiums be paid on or before the date they are due. This is necessary to maintain a period of prepayment during which your protection will continue if it ever becomes impossible for you to pay your premiums.
