It is expected that a number of study groups will be active once again. and the Programme Committee, headed by Mrs. J. C. Belknap of King, has arranged an interesting roster of speakers for the fall meetings. These include Miss Lois Parkhill and Mr. Bruce Marsi- of the C. B. C. who will address the October meeting. Both are well known on C. B. C. television and Mr. Marsh was a member of the party accompany- ing the Queen on her recent Can- adian tour. During the late spring and early summer months one of the worthwhile undertakings of the parent body, the Canadian Federation of University women, was its suggestion to the Prime Minister of Canada that the gift to the Queen on the occasion of her Canadian visit should take the form of a donation to estab- lish a permanent fund for a grad- uate scholarship or scholarships for women. There is an urgent need for such scholarships none of which now exist. It was sug- gested these might be similar in terms and tenure to the Rhodes scholarships and recipients might be designated “Queen’s Scholars.” The C. F. U. W.’s proposal was supported by similar submissions to the Prime Minister from other national women's organizations. ALVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE?

The present agreement with the T.T.C. is up for renewal and pending a report from the solicitor for the three municipalities as well as a report from the T.T.C. auditor regarding cost-per-mile-per-passenger for bus ser- vice from Richmond Hill to Steeles Avenue, the co-ordinat~ ing committee is investigating other avenues of service, unofficially. Reeve John Perry said at a meeting of Vaughan Town- ship Council on Monday of last week, “It should be made perfectly clear the co-ordinating committee is not drawing any conclusions yet regarding bus service. We have prom- ised the T.T.C. we will hear their auditor’s report. We do not wish to jeopardize our good standing with them, in having the T.T.C. believe we are negotiating with other parties before their report is presented and acted upon." The Newmarket Bus Line which presently travels on the east side of Richmond Hill down Bayview to Steeles, across Steeles and down Yonge St. to Front St., would, Mr. Needler said, pick up as far north in Richmond Hill as the Elgin Mills sideroad, should such a service as his be insti- tuted. Now running nine trips daily to and from the city, it was predicted the number of trips needed under the new plan would be 43 daily. Now handling almost 8,000 passengers a month, Mr. Needler would of course have to purchase more busses to provide such transportation. Mr. Needlar said he was inter- ested in three questions which he proceeded to present to the co- ordinating committee. (1) How would deficit and profit be dis- tributed. He said he felt that the bus line owner should come in for the profit-sharing, over ex- penses, as an incentive to giving bigger and better service. ‘ (2) He asked about type of service required and suggested two after-midnight (around 2.30 to 3.30 mm.) trips which are con- sidered money-losers, having only one or two passengers aboard, might profitably be dropped. He also asked whether his pres- ent system, i.e. carrying passen- gers directly to Front St. for the one all-inclusive fare Should be continued. At present Mr. Need- lar's line transports passengers at the same price as the T.T.C. with, we understood, the trip to Front St., which would normally be paid for extra, thrown in.. However, he said his was merely a proposal and he had no figures to offer the committee but was merely meeting with them to find out it they would entertain a pro- posal for service from him. (3) This question was in re- gards to the length of agreement, which both he and the committee said should be for ten years, with regular check-ups throughout the time of contract regarding costs, fares, etc. Mayor Ken Tomlin of Rich- mond Hill, who sat in on the com- mittee meeting said, “We only wish to negotiate for a service proposed at cost. We don't want any deficit or profit -â€" just at cost." He then said all three municipal reeves and he as May- or had met with the T.T.C.’s sol- icitor, with their own solicitor in attendance and it was agreed an accounting report is to be pres- ented at which time the three municipalities expect a complete analysis of the line under the present agreement so they can have a black and white picture of how the line is handled. In conclusion Mayor Tomlin said, “I think that the municipal- ities are interested in maintaining the service for development and industrial and commercial pur- poses. Technically we want one that can be operated at cost." Councillor W. J. Haggart of Richmond Hill, said, “We have to look at it this way â€" how much does cost cost?" Mayor Tomlin said the T.T.C. has been operating at cost, “but that does not give us ‘cost to us’.” The T.T.C. claims that former profits have been derived from business south of Steeles and that a new contract from the town to Steeles may show a deficit for the three municipalities. Deficit or profit whichever it is to be the bus line will continue to serve the people of the three municipalities, and until the ac- countants' statements are pre- pared and presented no further action will be taken regarding a bus service contract. Dugald McCowan, chairman of the co-ordinating committee ask- ed if Mr. Needler could operate a bus service to compare with the .present T.T.C. service. Mr. Nee- dler said that would depend on the timetelement, meaning a 10 year contract. And, "Is it going to be a contract whereby the mun- icipalities pay deficits and share any profits? If so, then why wouldn’t it be feasible to oper- ate it?" The next meeting of the co- ordinating committee is to dis- cuss sewage. The meeting in Oc- tober will be held at Richmond Hill and Mayor Tomlin suggested a Mr. J. Heisey would be pleased to present a revolutionary system of disposing of sewage, somewhat similar to that used in Chicago. The Mayor said, “As regards Mr. Gardiner â€" if we had such a sys- tem as Mr. Heisey outlines we would not be polluting streams â€"- we would be improving them.” For discussion in the not too distant future â€"â€" a hospital ser- vicing the three municipalities. No Decision On PIOposed County Planning Board A special meeting of York County Council was held on Thursday evening, to hear Mr. Pearson of the Department of Planning 8; Development discuss the proposed establishment of a county planning board. In summarizing his remarks, Mr. Pearson pointed out that the county could not hope to plan on its own without cOâ€"operating with those municipalities on its bor~ ders. He said that in the past the thinking of council had been mainly rural, but in the future it would have to be expanded, only as sleeping quarters, with all the expense of educating the children. Mr. Pearson replied that he would hope that if a county board was organized, it would be in the spirit of co-operation and not controversy. Lorne Evans, former chairman of the Whitchurch Planning Board of Whitchurch Twp., said board desirable, but 25 years too late. The question was left with the as much of the county was becom- couniy plf'mning committee for ing urban. His advice was to pro- °°n51deratlom ceed slowly with the full co-oper- ation of all existing boards. $35,000 to Start ' Mr. Pearson, in answer to a question, estimated that a plan- ning board would cost th county $35,000 in its first year 0 opera- tion, and that this would likely expand to $50,000 inside of five years. He said they would require a planning director and public relations man. Present boards would continue as they are, he said. Asked about those municipali- ties aiready in Metro jurisdiction, and there are six, Mr. Pearson said that he believed that the county board would be busy enâ€" ough handling remaining eight without seeking to obtain juris- dicton over any others. , Reeve Clark of Markham Town- ship said he thought this would be very difficult to establish if all municipalities were not included. The speaker said that all incor- porated areas would have a mem- ber on the board without regard to population.
