Over 130 Baverley Acres ladies' fumed out for their first “Take A Break" program held Monday evening in the gymnasium of the public school. This overwhelm- ing response to weeks of effort was ample reward for the hard- working group of ladies who had seen the need and, with the co- operation of the Y.W.C.A., or- ganized this very worthwhile pro- gram ,the first of its kind in the Richmond Hill area.

Mrs. Goodman, in the words of ’one lady afterwards, was “absolutely delightful” and her audience re- sponded with great interest in her subject. It is hoped that she will return to address the group in the near future. Mrs. Worrell expressed the ap- preciation of the meeting to Mrs. Goodman, Mrs. Miller and Miss Foster, and stressed that this is a group organized for the ladies of Beverley Acresâ€"not for their entertainment but for their par- ticipation.

Mrs. Lois Miller, Chairman of the Advisory Committee which assisted with the planning of a TAB program in Beverley Acres, acted as mistress of ceremonies. She introduced to the ladies the members of her committee who were present, and briefly out- lined the Y.W.C.A. "Take A Break" programs across Canada. Mrs. Irene Worrell, chairman of the organizing committee of Beverley Acres ladies, gave de- tails of-the program for this 'one area. Mrs. Eldora Taylor out- lined and 'displayed suggested crafts which the group might un- dertake. Mrs. Miller then intro- duced Miss Marion Foster, execu- tive secretary of the National Y.W.C.A., who will give "Y" leadership to the Beverley Acres TAB program. a “I feel that with my experience on the local council and in County Council I can be of service to my fellow citizens next year, and I am willing to stand for re- election.” said Reeve Perkins to The Liberal. This year Mr. Per- kins served as Chairman of the Property Committee for the County. Reeve Perkins is a member of the United Church. a member of the Lions Club, President of the local Cancer Society, an ardent bowler ‘and a keen curling en- thusiast. ‘He is married, the father of three" children and lives at 110- Church Street.

He has nine years experience in mu- nicipal life, seven as councillor. one as deputy-reeve and this past year as Reeve. Richmond Hill Town Coun- cil Monday night welcomed the announcement by Russell Tilt, president of the local Naturalists Club, that the an- nual meeting of the Federa- tion of Ontario Naturalists will be held here February 19th to 215t. The Mayor will extend an official welcome to the visi- tors and council assured the local club of every co-operaâ€" tion in making the visit of so many people from all parts of Ontario, pleasant and enjoy- able. Council Will (Jo-operate Reeve F. R. Perkins Standing For Re-Election In the early thirties, no com- plete conservation project for any area was in existence in Canada and none was planned. Conservaâ€" tion was then limited to refore- station, game law enforcement and the distribution of fish and pheasant from hatcheries. Few people realized that for the propâ€" er Panagement of woods, waters, The Federation of Ontario Na- turalists is an incorporated, non- profit, educational organization devoted to the preservation and renewal of our assets in soil, water, woods and wildlife for the economic and spiritual public in- terest in, and knowledge of, these values, and through sponsoring measures for the safeguarding and use of our natural resources. Founded by the Brodie Club of Toronto in 1931 in association with the dozen or so nature clubs then existing in Ontario, its basis was the belief that only by con- certed action could real influence be brought to bear on such mat- ters as governmental legislation for the conservation of wildlife. Since 1931, the Federation has contributed significantly to many of the important developments in conservation in Ontario. The matter was introduced at Monday night’s regular council fleeting by Reeve Perkins who aid “I am concerned as a member of council, and as owner of prop- erty east of Bayview.’ The Reeve said as an interested property owner he is ready to do every- thing possible right now to ex- pedite the work. The Mayor said it would be impossible to start without authority and approval of the Ontario Municipal Board, and it is not forthcoming now because financing cannot be guaranteed. Delegates are expected from the Federation's more than thirty federated clubs, representing a membership of some 3,500 natur- alists. Some 400 members are ex- pected to participate in the week- end meetings. Reeve Perkins said it is most unfortunate as part of the Quar- ter' million dollar project might have had governmént assistance as a winter worksrprogram. The first annual meeting of any organization of a province-wide nature will be held in Richmond Hill on the 19th, 20th and 21st of February, 1960, when the Richmond Hill Naturalists act as host to the 28th annual meeting of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. Mayor 'Tomlln éssured council he would kegp in constant touch with the situation. "We just can’t go ahead it we can’t raise the money” he said. Ask For Sidewalk L.

Other local municipal projects are likely to suffer for the same reason, as the Mayor said, “our fiscal agents and our solicitor advise us that it is practically impossible to sell municipal debentures at the present time.” Tight money is now the reason for the delay in start- ing the Beverley Acres quarter million dollar drainage project, Mayor Kenneth W. Tomlin told Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night. ‘The project designed to re- lieve flooding conditions in the easterly part of town has been hheld up now by governmental red tape for many mont s. ight Money Blamed For elay In Beverley Acres 250,00!)

SINGLE COPY 10c The preservation of samples of primitive or original natural con- ditions has from the first been of particular concern for the Fed- eration, resulting in the creation of wilderness areas within such parks as Algonquin and Rondeau and the establishment of forest reserves in the Bruce Peninsula. The Federation has been closely connected with the recently pass- ed Wilderness Areas Act. The nature reserve set aside in Point Pelee National Park also resulted from representations made by the Federation. Over the same period. the Fed- eration has made significant con- tributions to both Federal and Provincial Commissions such as the Rowell Commission of 1938, the Royal Commission on Fores- try Resources, the Royal Commis- sion on Education of 1945, and the Fish and Game Committee of theflOntario Legislature. Arising from this concept came thel‘ederation's King ToWnship survey of 1937-8. the well known Guelph Conference memorandum on conservation and the Ganarâ€" aska Survey. This latter river valley survey resulted in the es- tablishment of the Ontario De. partment of Planning and De- velopment in 1944, which in turn led to the Conservation Authori- ties Act of 1946. soils and wildlife the problems required a joint approach. Deputy-reeve Tinker Works Chairman, said the paving and improvement of Bayvlew had been considered this year, and is a likely project for the future. He pointed out that upkeep on the road is a joint responsibility Councillor Bradstock said he thought there are several loca- tions where sidewalks are needed irrespective of any petition. He mentioned 'Bayview Ave. and Markham taped. ' Beetle Perkins said he agreed that it wasn’t fair to charge prop- erty on the street for sidewalks which are used by everyone. . Councillor Haggart in support of the request pointed out that Bayview is now (heavily travel- led thoroughfare. Mayor Tomlin suggested that if a properly sign- ed petition for a sidewalk is pre- sented it would undoubtedly re- ceive favorable consideration. On motion of Reeve Perkins the request was referred to the Works Committee for a report. shopping centre and also the need for_adeq§1_z_ate sireet lighting. In the field of education, the The Naturalists intend to con- tact local business organizations, service clubs, etc. in the belief that they will regard the occasion as significant to the Town as they do. . This is; the Town's first Voccas- ion, we hope the first of many, to demonstrate its calibre as a host. Many people have only observ- ed Richmond Hill as a small town while travelling through to other destinations. The Naturalists, as a group, are accepting this op- portunity to promote the Town as a progressive community. Many of the delegates who will attend the annual meeting of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists are prominent in other fields. It is important that these people carry with them a high regard for Richmond Hill's potentlalties as a conference centre.

Councillor Bradstock said he agreed with the suggestion but pointed out he thought the survey was something which should be done. Council recently paid the Vita Feed Co. for an easement through their property for sewer installed several years ago. H. Jones Co. Ltd. asked payment at a similar rate of $10 per foot, 3 total of $3.930. Council will give consid- eration to the request. $7,000 Survey Council referred to the Finance Committee for consideration a request from the Planning Board fr an aerial survey map of the town and district at an estimated cost of $7,000.

(Continued on Page 18) Remembrance Day Speaker REQHMQND HtLL The subdividers will construct a temporary sewage disposal plant on township property located south of John Street to serve the area until such time as the Metro trunk sewer lines reaches Steeles Avenue. Once the Metro lines are completed, Markhame connect into them. , In the southwest corner the Cohnur Subdivision will have 120 lots, each one half acre in siz'e,'whi1e the remain- ing' three subdivisions in this area will have a total of 600 lots. Sizes of these lots will vary being 50, 60 and 75 feet. The subdivisions in the southwest corner will be on full services which includes sewers, storm sewers, curbs, catch basins, municipal water and 28 foot paved roads. Markham was represented at the Metro hearing by Reeve W. L. Clark, Planning Board Chairman H. Bren- nan and Planning Director R. Forrest. The Unionville Subdivision has 162 lots, each one half acre in size. The subdivision will have storm sewers, curbs, municipal water and septic tanks. The roads will be 24 feet. After holding up subdivision development in Mark- ham Township for the past four years the Metro Plan- ning Board on Wednesday of last week by a majOrity vote gave the “green light” to five subdivisions in the township. The five approved included Unionville Gardens and four subdivisions in the southwest corner of the township, namely Colmur, Steele Valley Acres, Don River Heights and Meadowview Heights. Opponents of the idea contend that annual nomination meetings and elections with elected repre- sentatives required to give an an- nual accounting is one of the landmarks of our democratic sys- tem. They claim that while one year may be too short a term for a good councillor, it is too long for a poor one. Anyway they con- tend if the ratepayers are satis- fied they can give a councillor or a whole council an acclamation. In his letter Mr. Broadhurst stated the most obvious advantage of the two year term is the fact Metro Approves Five Subdivisions Advocates of the two year term claim the taxpayers are saved the trouble and expense of annual elections, and that members elected for two years have a bet- ter opportunity to impose long term policies. For some years municipal councils in Ontario have had leg- islative authority to adopt a two year term, and the idea has been adopted in many places and re- jected in others. Richmond Hill has stuck to the system of hold- ing annual elections, and the pro- posed referendum is likely to arouse considerable interest, and stir up competition in the coming municipal elections. Already sev- eral new candidates have an- nounced their candidature and more are expected before nomin- ation day. The suggestion that council consider a referendum this year was introduced in" a I tter from T. Broadhurst, who, has announced he is a candidate for council. In his letter Mr. Broadhurst stated there is much to commend a longer spell of office for those elected. A lively issue was tossed into the local municipal arena Monday night when Richmond Hill Town Council unanimously agreed to submit a referendum to the electors in the coming election on the question of a. two year term for council members. Correct bicycle riding in the interests of safety was the aim of the Bicycle Road-E-O recently conducted by Richmond Hill Police in co-operation with J aycees and local service clubs. Staged at the Allencourt Shopping Centre it attracted many entries and Miss Nancy Butler, 297 Church St. North, is shown above being congratulated by Mayor Kenneth W. Tomlin on winning a bicycle in the 12 years and over class. Bicycles were donated by the IGA Foodliner and the local service clubs. Richmond Hill To Vote On Proposal Of Two Year Term lively Issue Bicycle Road-E-O At a previous meeting council authorized a referendum on a bylaw to authorize payments of subsidy to the local bus line. Reeve Perkinsâ€"I can see there are a lot of advantages in the suggestion. I would go along with a two year term if the people vote for it. I A motion by Councillor Ross and Reeve Perkinethat the ques- tion be submitted to the electors in a referendum was given unani- mous support. The clerk was ask- ed to have the_solicitor prepare the necessary bylaw. Councillor Haggart said if the two year term is adopted our election date should be made to coincide with Toronto. He said he thought council should have some direction from the people in the matter. Mayor Tomlin said it is quite immaterial to him whether it is a one or a two year term, but he thought it was an issue which should be decided by the people. He pointed out that irrespective of the result of any referendum the council elected in December would have only a one year term. the taxpayer would only have to pay the cost of 'an election every two years, instead of annually, but that this is probably the least of its advantages. He claimed the longer term would pay handsome dividends in increased efficiency. He added “we would of course de- prive ourselves of the expensive luxury of tossing a council out once a year if we feel so disposed. but if the electors knew they were sending a man in for twice as long, some at least might be twice as careful in their choice and maybe a few more might get out and vote."
