Under the present system he said school boards bid for teachers like stock men at an auction sale. Such a system he said is not fair to the teachers and not fair to the peo- The leader took the govern- ment, which he said is too pow- erful and too long in office, to task for its record in education, labor, agriculture and financial administration. The debt of .the province he said is increasing at an alarming rate and the speaker was critical of the recent announ- cement of a Dominion-Provincial conference as an election-dodge and a sham. Stating that 60 per cent of the people over 65 lack an adequate income he called for an imaginative pension plan. This was the first visit of John Wintermeyer, Ontario Liberal leader to the riding of York North. The member for Kitchen- er who was chosen a year ago as party head made a good impres- sion on the local audience. He is a forceful and convincing speak- er and he attacked provincial problems with vigor and thor- oughness. (Continued from page 1) Toronto riding in the 1955 elec- tion.

Donad Plaxton Candidate wii'h BINGOEEKZETJ “SALENA” * Beige 3’}: Rust 52g Black fir Red of the Ontario government for creating the all-powerful Metro Planning Board and said their ac- tions have been dictatorial. He said planning for York North should be left in the hands of York North people. In the recent case of the new railway by-pass. the councils of local municipal- ities were told of the route only at the eleventh hour. He said loc- al municipalities have not indiv- idual representation on the board and it is the duty of the York North Parliamentary representa- tives to eliminate such extra-ter- ritorial jurisdiction in planning. He had noted only silence on this subject from the conservative members for the riding. For some time local municipalities have been trying to secure direct representation on Metro Plan- ning authority. At present one man represents Richmond Hill, Markham Twp., Markham Village and Stouifville. In this set-up there is a conflict of interest of the diiferent municipalities, said Mr. Plaxton. Support for the newly chosen candidate from the Young Liberal organization of York North was pledged by John Lawlor. the organization president. “We are behind Don Plaxton for member," he said, “because we know he’s a good man, and because he's one of us". The candidate is 33 years of age, well within the age limit for the young Liberal organiza- tion. ' Vaughan Williams, newly elect- ed riding association president. assured Mr. Plaxton of whole- hearted support, and extended thanks to Mr. Wintermeyer, the Ontario leader for attending the convention. Brigadier Campbell on behalf of the association expressed re- gret at the illness of retiring president Lorne Lee In a plea for more assistance for the municipal taxpayer, Mr. Plaxton stated that in his opinion the present grant structure is not adequate to meet the increasing demands on local municipal cauncils.. He was sharply critical “let us not forget the millions wasted on Hydro conversion, the Highways scandal and the Gas line scandal". Mr. Plaxton urged support for the Liberal party as the only real alternative to the present gov- ernment. In the past he said votes for the C.C.F. had meant only the election of conservative candidates as minority members. In reply to Mr. Frost’s comfort- ing words that all is well in Queen's Park the candidate said, ple Trustees Rumble, Axelson and Middleton also reported Mark~ ham Township Council (as have Vaughan and Woodbridge Coun cils) had requested the board to Chairman Sayers and Trustee Axelson said the contingency fund had been questioned as to “why do we have a contingency fund", but they had not been asked to cut the budget. Chairman Sayers commented, “We have no guidance for the board on matters of this type" and so he had selected the afore- mentioned committee heads to attend. Chairman Sayers stated the fin- ance committee was a committee of the board as a whole but he had asked the heads of the prop- erty and management committees to attend the meeting with the representatives of the councils because they drew up much of the budget. He said further, “the budget was carried by a major- ity of the board and no request was made on the part of a mun: icipal council to cut the budget.” On motion 'of Trustee 'WilSon' and Trustee N. Hicks the matter was tabled until it could be stud- ied as to how to best administer it. Chairman Sayers commented, “Trustee Middleton’s idea has been accepted by the board, we need further information." To Await Bd. of Education Data Business Administrator Ash- worth commented he had over nine around $100.00 items on the evening’s accounts. Trustee J. Honsberger wondered if it was the intent of the board to tender every time they got $100.00 worth of meat for the cafeterias. Chairman of the planning com- mittee, Trustee Rumble, inform- ed the board Markham Township Council was withholding approval of the Bayvlew site for a new high school until July 1 in order to give Richmond Hill Council time to obtain and study a re- port on whether a board of edu- cation is feasible for the town at this time. Chairman Sayers, and Chair- man of management Axelson, and property Chairman Howes, with the business administrator .were present with the mayor and the reeves of the three municipalities last week for a discussion of the high school budget. Trustee Rumble said one coun- cillor had asked him why the board didn’t have a finance com- mittee. Trustee Middleton want- ed to know who selected who was to attend the meeting with the reeves and mayor to discuss the budget. It is anticipated that unless the findings prove it advantage- ous for Richmond Hill to sever' its connections with the high school district, the site will be built upon. However, the opin- ion was expressed due to the growth of the district it is diffi- cult to know what will happen. A statement attributed to Mayor Ken Tomlin was quoted which advanced the opinion the three municipalities of Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan (compris- ing the high school district) might find it to their advantage to get together in a metropolitan gov- ernment of their own. The matter of policy stemmed from Trustee Wesley Middleton’s objection to items over $100.00 not being advertised for tender. ,Mr. Middleton and Trustee Stew- art Rumble objected to two items. sodding and paving $378.80 at Richmond Hill High School, and fencing $1,900.00 at the same school, not being advertised, and instead invitation bids being is- sued by the property committee through the business administra- tor. Though some local tenders had been sought, Mr. Middleton felt all competing businesses .should have had the opportunity through advertising to tender. He was referring especially to the fencing, the three tenders sought here were from Frost, Lundy and N. Bone, Frost being the low bidder. Trustee Wilson cautioned, “This motion shouldn't be lightly made or carried. We can't solve the problem by making this mo- tion, we’re bound by it if we pass it, we should investigate.” Chairman Sayers felt the prop- erty committee had no guide rules as to what to do in certain instances and perhaps there should be a policy, for instance, in insisting tenders over a cer- tain amount should be advertised.- Middleton Wants Tenders “Call for tenders, that’s all there is to it." enjoined Trustee Middleton. He then proposed the motion ‘,in future all contracts over $100.00 be advertised for tender." During the evening's discus- sion Chairman Harry Sayers call- ed attention to the fact the board at present has no written “policy” or by-Iaws. The board chairman. chairman of the management committee Trustee E. Axelson, the Business Administrator B. Ashworth and the Secretary, Mrs. J. McAlister will study the mat- ter and bring their recommenda- tion before the board for discus- sxon. York Central District HighSchool Board met Monday evening at the new Woodbridge High School in order to give ratepayers in the district the opportunity to conven- iently attend a high school board regular meeting, how- ever no interested ratepayers turned up. Policy For Advertising Tenders [delay debenturing the $35,000.00 High School Rd. Meeting Public Tender For All Supplies Is Urged By Trustee W. Middleton Following a request from four teachers to receive the remainder of their year's pay in June, the board agreed to accede to ,such requests as received by June 1. Some years ago at the teachers’ request (1947) the board agreed to pay salaries on a 12 month in- stead of a 10 month basis to re- lieve summer hardships. However, a letter from board Solicitor J. D. Lucas stated the School Act stated salaries were to be paid by the last teaching day in June. However, as Trustee Hicks point- ed out. Department of Education policy seems to be changing to- ward a 12 month basis of pay so the department will be contacted re its official position, and the board will discuss the matter before September salaries are ,due, to arrive at a policy. Accumulative Sick Leave The board agreed, on motion of Trustee M. Kinnee, to accept the Code of Ethics recommended by the Ontario Trustees Council. Want All Salary in June It was noted head caretaker Harry Stanford of Richmond Hill High School, who retires this year, has an accumulative sick leave of 200 days with $2,178.00 payable on his retirement after 35 years service. It was agreed on Trustee Honsberger’s motion that this amount be paid out of the contingency fund, as it had not been budgeted for. This is the first time the, accumulative delay debenturing the $35,000.00 for sodding, draining, and gravel~ ling Woodbridge High School grounds until the debenture for the new high school is needed to cut down on the procedures re- quired. The capital account could be used for the present, said Mr. Ashworth. On the basis of its lowest bid, Imperial Oil Ltd. was awarded the contract for supplying fuel oil for Thornhill and Woodbridge High School for the coming year. Low was 10.8 cents, high tender was 11.1 cents. ‘ :Ejnl11ququuummuummu11l1muumummllmunmuuuummmummmunm1mumllmm\lummuumumunmmumuuuum“Mumluullu\1l11ummnu\\ulu\llnulml1m1mmlu1uuuuummummnllmmm1l1\l\uI11muuumuuml“mmn\mmuuuuuummmmv "'ummmmmummmuuunmmimmmmuniuuufiimfiiilfiMmn\lllI1mul11luuuuuu11unu1mm“ummumlmuuuuuuuuuuumumukmlmm“u“\I“n\\\lllll\l“Iulmm“ll\\llll\\lm“mm“W\llmmlllullull\lM\\\lll\\\l\l\\\\mmmml“\llll““lu\\“\“m‘mmm‘lmmlu“ME Emmummumnnummmmlmm1mmxuulnmunmummleImnmmIlmnuIu1t\1umluuuuummmmmmmumm\muuumum\mumuuumm\uunuummmmnmmmmnmmunnmmunnmmmmmummumuu\muunnunummuunnu\l\1IImmmumummmum 29 YONGE ST.

Trustee Middleton felt it was a "terrible" amount to have to pay in addition to a $50.00 a month pension already passed by the board to be given to Mr. Stan- ford. Mr. Stanford was not in a pension plan‘for the caretakers. Incidentally the pension fund was started for caretakers only this January. 1959. It was pointed out most boards in the face of present competition now award “fringe benefits" of accumulative sick leave and pen- sion plans to their employees. The accumulative sick leave of an employee usually passes from board to board, only lapsing at the retirement or quitting of an employee from school board em- ployment. Chairman Sayers again com- mented policies of the board on such matters as sick leave. pen- sions, etc., should be “lined up' to give to each new member of the board.)’ Present at the meeting were Chairman Sayers and Trustees Rumble, Axelson, Middleton, Hicks, Wainwright, Kinnee, Wood. Wilson and Howes, and Principals Morrow and Morrison. Principal Elson was absent due to illness. Trustees Howes expressed the thought during the evening that he would like to hear some dis- cussion of the actual curriculum offered at the schools. Principal Morrow told of the comprehen- sive, standardized Grade 12 mul- tiple choice examinations now be- ing required by the Department of Education in Mathematics, English and French. These are in the process of being written am- ong approximately 15,000 Ontario pupils in Grade 12. “LIBERAL” CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS PHONE TU. 4-1105 TUrner 4- 3551 BAYVIEW PLAZA OPEN ON THE HOLIDAY THE LARGEST SELECTION IN TOWN AT Bayview Variety 8.
