Will be received for paint- ing the interior and exterior of S. S. No. 12 Markham by July 31, 1959. Tenders should be addressed to Mrs. E. A. Buchanan, Secretary- treasurer, Gormley R. R. ‘2. Lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted. In the past few years use of school yards has also been grant- ed when requested and the town has agreed to assume responsibil- ity for any damage to the play- ground equipment, school build- ing and equipment, and to the children after school hours. Ear- lier this year the school board gave permission for use of the washrooms and storage in the school buildings during the sum- mer recreation program. Many school boards charge a fee for use of classrooms. audi- torium, or gyms to cover the ex- tra caretaking involved. Policy Set Sometime Ago Several years ago the Town Public School Board adopted a policy of granting use of class- rooms for meetings and functions to non-profit organizations in the town as long as the accommoda- tion requested was not “booked up”. Mrs. Southwell added, “All re- quests (including this summer’s use of grounds, washrooms and storage) have been honored. We have had no return financially from them but we have let all community non-profit organiza- tions use school facilities who re- quested them.” Chairman L. D. Clement com- mented, “We like to see maxiâ€" mum use of our buildings." Trustee Mrs. Margaret South- well felt it was a grand trend, “Council appreciates the fact we need all-purpose rooms." Trustee Cecil Williams voiced the opinion it was “Significant the council is telling us they’d like to see playrooms (gyms).” Richmond Hill Public School Board was surprised Thursday evening of last week to receive a letter from hte clerk of the town council which read, “At a meet- ing of council, July 6th, it was suggested that the school board give consideration to the recom- mendation that an outside access to all-purpose rooms and lavator- ies be provided to be used in con- junction with the playgrounds in any new schools.“ The letter ap- parentiy followed a discussion by council agreeing that local tax- Dayers should be getting full value for the money expanded on public schools by having them used in the summer in conjunc- tion with tht town sponsored re- creation program.

Special This Week 1999A Avenue Rd., Toronto, Ontario Pete's During the past year the Build- ing Committee (Trustees Harold Sanderson and Cecil Williams) spent considerable time in draw- ing up a caretaking schedule that would permit maximum after school use of the schools and at the same time have a caretaker present in the building. Board secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Street, has a comprehensive weekly schedule of all the groups using the school from September to June and says, “the schools are booked for use for practically ev- ery night in the school week. Though Friday night and Satur- day usage is discouraged, as hea- vy cleaning is done over the week end all requests have been given equal consideration by the board.” St. Matthew’s United Church and St. Gabriel's Angliâ€" can Church used school accommo- dation during their formation periods. And last year a daily va-l cation Bible school was held in a‘ public school. Rules and Regulations Necessary There are certain rules and reg- ulations, among them 12 persons minimum must constitute the group requesting classroom use, but the Scouts, the Cubs, the Brownies‘, the Boys’ Club. the home and school associations, the ratepayer organizations, etc., have all found “a place to meet" in their public schools. And this summer hundreds of Richmond Hill children will find the school yards of the town are a ‘wonderful’ place to play! All these all-purpose rooms will make possible an enlarged phys- ical fitness program for local chil- iren in winter and when the .veather is inclement in summer, and will have washrooms nearby. Sometime this fall all-purpose rooms will be ready at Beverley Acres School and Walter Scott School. And when the size of an all-purpose room for MacKillop School is determined. one will be incorporated there. The time el- ement depends on whether this latter school is likely to become a senior school necessitating a lar- ger all-purpose room. This can- not be determined until the board has some indication from the lo- cal planning :board of the land use surrounding the school. This indication apparently depends upon Metro Planning Board whose plans are expected to be released in September. At the present time Metro is discourag- ing development of the munici- palities beyOnd Steeles Ave. and this includes Richmond Hill. Trustee J. Rabinowitch said, "The local planning board won’t dis- cuss more annexation until the Markham, Vaughan and Rich- moind Hill sewage problem is sol- ve ." When the Pleasantville School plans are finalized. it is probable they will contain a “gym” too. Physical Fitness Can Be Stressed “all purpose room” or gym in the ‘town’s public schools and no re- quest has been made for this. This is at the Crosby Avenue School which was only finished this spring. There is a kindergar- ten-auditorium room at the Meâ€" Conaghy School that can be used for a “gym” but there is little playground space available at the school so it will not be in use. More All-Purpose Rooms Planned MULBERRY WOOD IS VALUABLE The mulberry tree of northern America not only yields the fam- iliar deep red fruit but is also valuable for its wood. According to the Book of Knowledge.the Chinese at one time used the bark for paper-making. Josef Casimir Hofmann was one of the most famous pianists of all time, says the Book of Knowledge. Born in Poland in 1876, he became a child prodigy, appearing in concerts at the age of six. For 11 years he was dir- ector of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. RIPARIAN RIGHTS If you own some land contain- ing a watercourse or bounded by one. you have what are known as “riparian rights." According to the Book of Knowledge the rights of an owner adjacent to water extend to the middle of the stream; those of an owner whose land contains a stream are absolute unless they inflict injurv .on other riparian owners. WILL some kind reader of “The Liberal” explain the terms “shirt tail in a knot” and“in- testinal fortitude”, both being Canadianisms (Il’ve heard in Richmond Hill during the last few ays . POLICE CHIEF Bob Robbins would like to see fewâ€" er accidents on local roads. Have you seen his little chart on the front page? Won’t drivers and pedestrians both try to make of this area a specially courteous dis- trict with less accidents? On the crime front Chief Rob- bins is more cheerful. Last week there were no crimes at all to report to the press. He says he considers the area has a better record than the average in this res- pect. Now don’t any rash folk try to upset the apple cart â€" just to keep the police busy! They’re busy enâ€" ough. Even off duty. Do you know that Chief Robbins, aided by his staff commenced a cadet system two years ago by which young people could learn police methods and eventually graduate to the rank of Constable on coming of age and qualifying? Did you know that Chief Robbins, Constables Green and Sider with Cadet Oakley and Executive Staff member Jack Williams have been coaching a Police Band, instructed in music by Mr. Mc- Meekin, which will soon be ready to enter the competi- tion field and to play at public functions? Other activi- ties include the teaching of St. John Ambulance to the young people while this activity will soon be spread to take in the Girl Guides. I’d say the police are demon- strating a fine civic spirit wouldn’t you? Perhaps with this knowledge under your hat, the next ticket you get won’t hurt so much? MAN OF THE WEEK is clearly Fred Wise whose promotion campaign has been the talk of the town for the\past few days. On Saturday ' the Radio contest reaches its climax with a pub- lic Weighing at the Town & Country Plan Plant on Markham Road. Patti Lewis, Radio Star, will weigh announcer Teddy Froman and pre- sent prizes. - "THE LIBERAL” please note is not an organ of the party of that name. It retains the name because of the tradition which goes with it. It is an independent journal â€" here to serve all the people of the area regardless of party. It is worth giving thought to your LOCAL weekly home paper. It gives your dis- trict prestige. It contributes much to the civic awareness of a community. It provides a popular forum for all who care to make use of it as well as an exchange of news between all sec- tions who are thus able to keep up-to-date with local progress and activities. _ / The daily paper is turned out with the garbage every day because there simply is not‘voom to store it, but I have already heard of one lady of good taste who keeps her copies of “The Liberal" all year round. Most people keep it the week it is current and look forward to the next issue. If YOUR neighbours are not regular readers please introduce this journal to them now so that they may discover how valuable and necessary it is to them. PS. If you want this column to reflect a sparkling readabil- ity and wit, with interesting disclosures you must count your- selves in as unpaid willing slaves to its needs by writing in or calling me personally with all the news and secrets you can dig up! Then wait to see them in print or to read why I find them unprintable! Monday, Wednesday and Thursday received most support at the meeting referred to. But why not Satur- day? Surely the ‘long weekend as practiced in Britain and which is being enjoyed by an increasing number of industrial and office workers who have won the five day week here in Canada (several of my neighbours disap- pear to the Lake district or country every Friday night, reappear Sunday night) would make most people very happy. The business-men are also members of the pub- lic and most of them would I’m sure be just as happy to enjoy a long weekend every week of the year. What do readers think? I won’t needlessly stimulate your appetite dear reader by going into further detail except to say that some business men there were who welcomed this opportunity to be off the leash and to indulge in a "sweet" or should I, in Canada, say “dessert” (I’m still woefully ignorant about a lot of things Can- adian so just write in and put me right when I goof about some- thing) which I suspect is not normally on the program for them. Those I saw the next day appear to have survived however so the wives need not complain too heartily . . p. . A good meal before a conference or discussion is the best tonic for rising blood pressures. Helps a lot towards the reaching of agreement too I noticed. Even if it is merely the agreement to differ. Net result after a long debate on the subject of closing days in the hope that efiorts might be made to obtain a by-law to fix a set’weekly day â€" the businessmen decided on a ballot to leave things as they are, i.e. everyone stays open on the day which suits them best . . . . AFTER this display of friendly after dinner agreement I would like to suggest that it will be a good idea, if, when the Governments concerned finally get together at the “Summit”, then Eisenhower and Krushchov and the others should first he served the best dinner the finest chefs can prepare. When the discussions follow we can then be sure they will agree about something â€" even if it is only upon the satisfaction the dinner gave to them! Safe in the cellars of “The Liberal” ofllces I now await all the bouquets and brickbats you care to aim in my direction. Suggests Eisenhower i Krushchov Dine Together Paul Delmer MY FIRST MEAL in Richmond Hill was as the guest of the Yonge Street North Business Men’s Assoc- iation â€" and a very fine meal it was. And to discourage those wild and wooly ideas which some may have con- cerning these things, let me hasten to add that the choice of drinks was limited to coffee or water . . . FAMOUS PIANIST WAS CHILD PRODIGY Mayor Ken Tomlin To Officially Open Town 8- Country MARKHAM : George Prentice, 12 year old son of auctioneer Clarke Prentice is in serious condition in Sick Children’s Hospital after being struck and thrown from his bicycle at Milliken. George Chadwick, 39, Unionville, has been charged with criminal neg- ligence and failing to remain at the scene. Mayor Ken Tomlin of Rich- mond Hill, will visit Town 8; Country Pla'n‘s plant on Mark- ham Road, between 6 and 6.30 pm. Friday, to ofiiciate at an of- ficial opening ceremony. This will in no way affect the opening of the exhibition to the public as from this morning, as announced eksewhere in “The Liberal". Whitchurch Township council. having enquired into the cost of a level crossing signal at the C.N.R.'crossing 11/4 miles north of Gormley, has decided not to make the installation because of the high cost which council mem- bers believe is not warranted at this crossing. It was pointed out that the toWnship has many level cross- ings and to equip them all would create a heavy maintenance cost. The Board of Transport ad- vised the cost of installing sig- nals at Gormley as $8,000 with an annual maintenance of $600. Whitchurch Would be called on to pay 12% of the installation and 50% of the maintenance. Richildaca Day Camp opened- for the summer season on Mon- day of last week with 90 children in attendance for the first two- weeks’ session.
