It was a rather stormy meeting on Wednesday evening, in the basement auditorium of Thornhill Public School. Elected chairman, the week before at a prior meet- ing called by area trustees ,Mr. S. Griffin. Who was on the first; board of T.S.A. No. 1. again pre- sided. He called on Trustee Jack- son Taylor to reiterate the stand of the 'present trustees on the is- sue of dissolution. Trustee Tay- lor gave a list of reasons why the trustees dld not feel it was a The petition signed immediate- ly by around two dozen persons required only five signatures. It will be sent to the provincial Min- ister of Education, Dr. Dunlop in the. hope the minister will delay approval of the resolution for dis- solution forwarded to him earlier this month by Vaughan Township Council. The Meeting We have only had the informa- tion as to the intent of council for a period of approximately seven days." "We. the undersigned ratepay- ers of T.S.A. No. 1 Markham- Vaughan. respectfully request the Council of the County of York to disallow the resolution of the Municipality of the Township of Vaughan, and approved by the Municipality of the Township of Markham, to dissolve the above mentioned school area, and cre- ate a school area comprising the whole of the Township of Vaugh- an. This would give time to resolve "some of the problems which would be created by joining ag- ricultural school sections with the urbanized school sections such as the present T.S.A. No. 1 and en- able us to be sure the standard of education will not be lowered. Following the majority decision to “seek time". a petition was drawn up to be sent to the clerk 0‘ York County Council by June 28. twenty days after the by-law was passed. It read as follows: The Petition According to the Public Schools Act a board or any five ratepayers of any one or more of the school sections concerned, may within 20 days, by notice led in the of- fice of the county clerk, appeal to the county council of the coun- ty in which the section or sectlons are situated against any byâ€"law of the township council for the for- mation. division, union or altera- tion of their school section or sections â€" “On receipt of the notice of appeal, the county council shall either, dismiss the appeal; or ap- point a board of arbitrators" â€" "hear the appeal' â€"- "settle the matters complained of." “The time for appeal shall run from the date of the by-law com- plained of â€"" Stressing the need for time to study the problems inâ€" volved in dissolving School Area No. 1 of Markham and Vaughan, twenty-eight ratepayers voted Wednesday even- ing of last week to try to delay for one year the setting up of a “super school board” for the whole of Vaughan Town- ship. Twenty-three persons voted against the delay. According to the Public Schools good move.

No. 1 pupils. A 3 ’Mr. Zinkan said his committee would ‘ make no recommendation itself but had gone into the “ma- chinery. involved in a stay of ex- ecution." In reply to question as to why Markham approved the resolu- tion for dissolution. Mr. Dean said he didn‘t think that not apâ€" proving the resolution could have stopped it. He pointed out some of the Markham Council had preâ€" viously been in favor of a move for dissolution of the area several years ago. gomeone mentioned dissolution was proposed by Markham some years ago when it appeared in- dustrial development would take place on the Langstafi? Jail Farm property. However, the industry had not materialized. The Markham Committee, com- posed of Mr. Melmac, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Zinkan, gave its report first. Their report was an ac- count of the council meeting and the decision to not form a town- shnp area in Markham as a whole, but to add German Mills section, a potential industrial area, to the T.S.A. No. 1 schools on the Mark- ham side. (Deputy-reeve Dean later said the Richmond Hill Un- ion School Section of Markham will probably be brought into the new arrangement later also. He claimed many ratepayers there objected to the high public school mill rate in Richmond Hill. Mr.‘ Dean felt they could be accom- modated in the proposed area school on Carrville Road East. Land for this school was purch- ased last year by the T.S.A. No. 1 Board.

At the objection, Mr. Griffin left the chair, but later returned when re- quested Ato do so. There was also a meeting of United Ratepayers on Wednes- day night. June 24th at Thornhill School re the dissolution of School Area No. 1, Markham and Vaughan. At this meeting the three representatives from each township concerned gave unbiased reports on result of their meet-. ings with Vaughan Council and Markham Council regarding this dissolution. Then to the food part of the party â€" usually the most import- ant for the small guests. Little people usually like cake, they practically always love their pea- nut butter, and they are all cow- Mr. Chambers and Mr. Cars- well, two experienced engineers who have been in the business for nearly 50 years. have been over the route of the C.N.R. very thor- oughly and have mapped out an alternative route which appears much more reasonable than that proposed by the C.N.R. This route would cause only two homes ag. ainst 11 to be removed from this area and would immediately af- fect 535 homes against the C.N.R. plan of 1200 homes and only one school against five. These engin- eers also believe it would be less costly. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Carswell went to Ottawa on Tues- day, June 16. and presented this information in a brief to Hon. George Hees. Mr. Hees was very interested and quite surprised at these facts and promised to look into the matter further with Mr. Donald Gordon. Dissolution In the report from Vaughan, it was stated that this resolution had not been made on the spur of the moment. That the council has been investigating the pros and cons for well over a year and that brochures were available to trustees if they so desired them, stating the number of pupils and people that would be affected. Ratepayen The regular meeting of the Doncaster Ratepayers was held on Wednesday night, June 24, at Henderson Avenue School. Any ratepayers from the Highland Park area who are interested in the C.N.R. route to be built through this area were invited to attend this meeting. 7 In giving its report. Mr. Joliffe stated after attendance at Vaugh-K an Council meeting Monday ev- ening he “more fully understands council‘s action as Reeve Perry gave a full and reasonable ex- planation." “Reeve Perry was pretty firm about future indus- trial assessment,‘ said Mr. Jol- ifie, “and there will be no indus- trial assessment for this section of Vaughan unless we go into the township area.” "The reeve as~ sured us the present standard of education would not be affected, in approaching the department personnel was to let them know how little time the ratepayers had had to study details involved in dissolution. Vaughan Committee The Vaughan Committee' was composed of Mr. Joliffe, Mrs. Pollock and Mr. Dowker. The report from the Markham representative stated that Mark- ham Council knew what this en- tailed and that they were in fa- vour of the dissolution. There were mixed feelings am- ong the ratepayers and a vote was taken as to whether or not a protest be made in the form of a petition to County Council, be- fore June 30th, to stay the dis- solution for one year so that they can have time to investigate the reasons. The result of this vote 28 in favour of a petition and 23 against.

If you are inviting children of older years to a party, it is often an idea to plan a “theatre after- noon". Another good idea is to take the group, necessarily small in numbers, to the Ontario mu- seum to see the "mummies" or to the zoo to see the animals.
