Architects Dunlop, Wardell, Matsui and Aiken had two of their representatives, Mr. Matsui and Mr. Hindemann, present to finalize plans for the public school on the Clark- Elgin site in Markham Township. Following a lengthy dis- cussion with Public School Inspector Maynard Hallman, also present’for comment, it was decided to seek Depart- ment of Education final approval of the plans at once in order to get tenders out as quickly as possible. Vice-Chairman _‘ Parker pointed out the accommodation was need- ed “as soon as we can possibly get it. We must have temporary accommodation until it is.” Mr. Matsui said he hoped it would be ready by January. The school will contain seven standard classrooms and a kin- dergarten room. The latter will contain a storage wall that can be moved to make use of the room as an auditorium. Vaughan Refuses Site The board received a letter from Vaughan Flaming Commis- sioner W. Gillings, in which he stated the board’s request for ap- proval of a site on Carrville Rd. West for a school would not be considered due to the probable dissolution of the area and the establishment of a new township wide area. On motion of Trustee H. Skinner, seconded by Trustee J. Taylor, the board reaffirmed its opinion the site was necess- ary even if there was to be dis- solution. and asked that Vaughan Township approve it. Trustee Taylor has been nam- ed the board‘s representative to the interim committee on plan» ning for Vaughan’s new township area. ‘ Trustee George Chandler told the board the year's budget was within bounds at the end of six months and was “very good on the whole". Many people say that they haven’t time to read, but in this modern age of ours, the amount of reading we do affects us economically and socially. Good self- expression is important in all of our daily relationships. A person who wants to write good letters or to excel in conversation needs to consider his reading. Reading wisely makes us acquainted With our past which helps to open up trains of thought that are work- able in the future, and thus the boundaries of ignor- ance are pushed back a little further each time. As for having time to read, fifteen minutes can be found in 211- most anyone’s day. Many people today are carrying small pocket books with them, and they take advantage of ever period of waiting -â€" for buses, trains, haircuts, beauty parlour appointment, telephone calls, at the doc- tor or dentist offices, or just waiting about on other peou le. We read to be informed, inspired and entertained, an there is no better way to the better life than thr ugh redding. by Elizabeth Kelson Why read? You might just as well ask, why breathe? Some writers have said that there are two kinds of readers, those who want to escape from them- selves and those who want to find themselves. In the first place, reading is one of the most effective ways of getting away from disturbing and unalterable condi- tions. Intimate association with good writing, literary, philosophic and artistic, is a promoter of thought and a refuge from almost all the miseries of life. ‘In the sec- ond place the person who reads wisely and widely often finds that he has an enormous advantage of knowing more about his subject than others do. Knowledge builds self-confidence and self-reliance. Knowledge has to be assimilated by the intellect and the imagination before it can be of any positive value. Supervising-Principal and Bus- iness Administrator E. J. Sand reported that enrollment at the end of June was 2,313 pupils. Eighteen classrooms if) the area took excursions to various points of interest in June.
