There is one tonight. May 14, and 28th. Please try and arrange some spare time to help your conveners, this is how the major- ity of funds are raised tor the school and community projects. Many hands make light work as the saying goes and the regular few old faithful: could sure use some extra hands. In the afternoon help is re- quired for preparing vegetables and setting tables. This doesn't take very long and can be done while children are at school. For 6.30 p.m., sewers are needed to serve the dinners on the plates. and then around 7.30 â€" all those dishes have to be washed. So you see with everyone chipping in. it needn't take long and of course you have your own dinner there too. If you don't get a call, why don't you phone Shirley and offer your services? Perhaps such a thing would really jar Shirl. but she recuperates fast, try it. Oh yes! Pie bakers are necessary too â€" if you can't arrange to be away from home during dinner hour. how about some pies? The membership pins were very impressive, didn’t you think? There is one waiting for your name. sq_hurry and join. Marg Kerrigan introduced the guest speaker, Mr. W. K. Ellis. vice principal of Richmond Hill High School and head of guidance department, who spoke on voca- tional guidance. stressing the transition fl-om grade 8 to 9. Mr. Ellis had a special “up front" audience. consisting of the students from Mr. Outram's class â€" our grade S‘ers. Although in grade 9 there were some subjects compulsory, there is a choice in some. This should be given serious thought and it was extremely important their parents were consulted. Thought should be given to subjects best suited to the individual rather than taking one subject just be- cause a pal was taking it, in or- der to stay together â€" in a large school they no doubt wouldn't be in the same room anyway, R.H.H.S. ls justly proud of its library with 3,000 books where Mr. Clifton, assisted by his wife, supervises one of the best librar- ies in the province for high schools of such size. The modern cafeteria can serve 300 students, and Mr. Ellis can vauchsafe'for the food. Here they would encounter stiff competition; to a certain extent it was up to them to make their own mark. Also their former public school teacher. Mr. Outram, would be kept informed of their progress as he would be inter- ested in how they got along. Mr. Ellis described the layout of the school; the two gyms; two shops, for metal and wood work- ing for boys and the home econ- omics and sewing rooms for girls; two guidance counsellor rooms, four science labs. complete with up-toâ€"date equipment; two com- mercial rooms and geography room. As for social and sports life, many types of clubs are available as sponsored by the Students’ Ciouncil and the Athletic Associa- t on. All in all, he said, high school .was to be looked forward to with anticipation but also with the thought that it is unto the hay andi‘girl as persons, to accept the newness as a challenge. and if Ehey did â€"â€" high school could be un. With a word to the parents, Mr. Ellis urged them to take an active interest in their children and to let them know they were appreciated. If they did this, their children wouldn’t let them down. An understanding between parents and their children was tb; stepping stone to success and happiness in all walks of life. _- ' Grade 9 alone consisted of 300 students with a total in the school of 830, representing 35 different schools in the district; 3 staff of 34 teachers and Mr. Morrow, the principal. Many questions were asked by both the young and older mem- bgrs which Mr. Ellis was extreme- ly capable and _willing t9 ansggr; It was pointed out that where- as they had become accustomed to one room and one teacher for the complete day. next year they would change rooms every forty minutes and have eight different teachers for as many subjects. In- stead of six subjects â€" there would be nine. Pat Davis thanked Mr. Ellis for his time given and interest shown, helpful suggestions and over all picture of life in a very different environment. We’re sure the grade 8 members of Maple have a better understand- ing of just what they can expect and plan for in the coming year. . Having spent eight years at the high school where the Maple boys and girls will attend, Mr. Ellis could give them a very complete picture of what they could expect from the school, and just as im- portant, what the school could expect from them. Refreshments were served with drinks for the junior guests George Bailey School Choirs Win Again At Woodbridge last week, the junior grades choir won first hon- ors at the York Music Festival. scoring with 88 points. This choir won last year as well, a very nice habit to form.

MARKHAM â€" Fire destroyed the distinctive circular barn own- ed by Gordon Cox, three miles north of Markham last weekend. but Mr. Cox managed to herd 35 head of cattle to safety, just see- onds before the flaming roof col- lapsed. Losses are estimated at $20,000. The circular barn was built 29 years ago â€" there is only one Other such barn known in Ontario. Congratulations to Karen Wood and Norman Taylor. two senior pupils of Concord Public School, whose essays won this year's con~ test sponsored by the Metropoli- tan Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority. Karen and Nor- man were rewarded with a day's fishing last Saturday at Albion Hills, supervised by the Rod and Gun Club of Toronto. About fir: hundred winners from most schools in Toronto and district enjoyed the outing. The students fished from about ten o’clock un- til noon. when they ate lunch and drank hot chocolate provided by the club. After lunch they fish- ed again. The boys and girls sup- plied their own rods and reels and the Club supplied lines, hooks and bait. They were divid- ed into groups of five or more, each under the supervision of a Rod and Gun Club member. Each pupil was presented with a crest in honour of their knowledge of conservation. Any fish?

TUESDAY, MAY 19th - 1.30-3.30 11,11}. Pre School Enrolment SCHOOL SECTION NO. 6 VAUGHAN (George Bailey Public School, Maple) Secretary-Treasurer Signed JAMES KINGSBURGH, Councillor Austey pointed out legislation restricted the council to the type of action proposed. He stated there would be storage for water to take careof peak demand. But larger storage fac- ilities would be needed if the whole village ls to receive water. Mr. Hopper stated the water was “hard” and the only addiv tional equipment needed was iron removal equipment which would cost approximately $10,000.00. Mr. W. L. Maddin wondered it. “We aren't premature. Let us go along with the C.N.R. mar-shelling yard for water." v Mr. Hopper felt as the home. owners would pay $500 to $600 for the water with their homes, they were carrying more than a fair share of the load. It was pointed out the yearly revenue derived from the water rates worked out to $1,500 from the mill rate. $4.700 from from age, and $17,000 from water rates which latter all consumers. in- cluding the subdividers would pay for. ‘ Later it was pointed out some wells in the vicinity had been af- fected when the municipal well had been tested at full flowing power, but Councillor ‘Anstey stated, "As long as I‘m on coun~ cii anyone in the vicinity whose well went dry would be taken care of." He doubted anyone more than a quarter of a mile away would be affected. “We haven’t had any tion from the C.N.R. as they intend to get their said Councillor Ralph. Mr. Bob James wondered why Normaple subdivision didn't have to pay the 1.5 mills which was to go towards maintenance. Mr. Ken Kerrigan was critical of the fact some of the severance fees for the development didn't go toward school accommodation. Trustee Snider said the sever- ance fee had been brought up by the trustees with council and It had been pointed out these fees had to go to pay off the indebted- ness for the municipal building. He stated, “They’ll help us out after that is paid for." Effect on Other Wells Mr. C. Miller asked, “What ef- fect is the municipal well going to have on the other private Wells in the area?" Mr. Hopper said it was "diff- icult to predict”. He said the wet- er for Normaple alone would flow 100 gallons 3 minute and flowing wells might be affected.
