The motion was tabled in order to allow the planning committee The Inspector said the most satisfactory conditions exist at Beverley Acres School and at Mc- Conaghy School where classes of 25 pupils or fewer are held each half-day. At the MacKillop-Pleasantville School a total of 93 pupils are enrolled with two teachers shar- ing the teaching duties in one kindergarten classroom. The pupils are divided into three groups, two classes of 30 each be- ing MacKillop pupils, and one group of 33 pupils from Pleas- antvllle. At Walter Scott, two tea- chers teach 92 pupils by dividing them into three groups of 31. 31 aid 30. The staggered classes at these schools, according to Sup- erintendent Gordon McIntyre, provide conditions quite accept- able to the teachers, but not sat- isfactory to parents whose child- ren face a varying time table. At the Crosby Heights School there is only one kindergarten classroom with two teachers on duty full time in the one room. They teach a group of 83 pupils with 42 in each morning class, and 41 for each afternoon class. The number of pupils at Crosby Heights is above the maximum, said Superintendent McIntyre, for an efficient kindergarten and other arrangements would be ad- visable if these numbers were to increase. Only 2 Kinderguriens Not Overcrowded Trustees Table Motion To Purchase ' Portables The Richmond Hill Public School Board tabled a mo- tion Thursday evening last to purchase two more portable classrooms and provide more kindergarten space to avoid the staggered kindergarten classes at Walter Scott and Pleasantville-MacKillop Schools. Trustee Cecil Williams spoke out against the staggered hours which provides for a group of kindergarteners at- tending school for one-half day on each third half day at Walter Scott School and Pleasantville-MacKillop School.

The need for the accommoda- tion must be proved to the de- partment’s satisfaction.) Also with the erection of the Pleasantville School one kindergarten class will be removed and it would appear plans for an additional kinder- garten classroom could be made in conjunction with the provision of a multi-purpose room at Mac- Killop School. It also appears an- other permanent kindergarten classroom may be necessary at the Walter Scott School. Superintendent’s Report In his bi-monthly report to the board, Superintendent and In~ spector McIntyre suggested that special experts (music, art, phyi- cal education, the exceptional child, etc.) who were available by invitation could come and assess the local educational programs in these subjects. It waspsuggested further that the board meet as a committee with one such expert, probablyNovember 19. Chairman L. D. Clement commented, “Some of these programs have been spot- ty in some schools.

Bradstock was read informing the board the town had five acres of parkland adjacent to and west of Crosby Avenue School. Trustee Williams didn't feel the board would want to use this land as it is swampland nowand would have to be filled in first. Crosby School is already extend- able to the north. However. Trus- In expressing sincere appreci- ation to the citizens of Richmond Hill and the many volunteer can- vassers who made the campaign a success, Mrs. Malcolm Thomâ€" son,/ Committee Chairman, ex- pressed the hope that people in increasing numbers will avail themselves of the service offered, and at the same time pointed out that donations still are welcomed and may be left at the Toronto- Dominion Bank or with any of the committee or canvassers. tee To Study Overall Schoo Accommodation Richmond Hill V:O.N.

Cook Laid To Rest Following an illness of some eight weeks, Mrs. Clara Cook died in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, on Thursday, October 22, 1959 The late Mrs. Cook who was in her 75th year, “never had a sick day in her life.’ according to her family until she became incapa- citated from pernicious anemia last July; she spent the last sev- en weeks in hospital. Born in what is now Leaside, Ontario, August 26, 1885, the former Clara Doughty married John H. W. Cook and they moved to Richmond Hill 39 years ago, living first on Yonge St., then moving to their newly built home on Crosby Avenue 14 years ago. 7 A member of Richmond Hill United Church, Mrs. Cook is sur- vived by her husband and two sons, Norman of Richmond Hill and Clare of Chalk River, four grandchildren and a brother. Norman Doughty of Cedarbrae, and three sisters, Mrs. Walter Simpson (Dealie), Kingston; Mrs. James Sinclair (Pearl) Sutton and Mrs. Robert Cook (Ethel; of Rex- dale, Ontario. The Rev. C. J. Higginson offic- iated at the funeral service held from Wright and Taylor Funeral Home, Richmond Hill on Mon- day afternoon. Interment followâ€" ed in Westminster Memorial Ce- metery, Willowdale, when six nephews were pallbearers: Mur- ray and Charles Sinclair, Clifford and Earl Cook, Kenneth Shields and Charles Phillips. “The Liberal" joins the many friends and relatives of the late Mrs. Cook in extending deepest sympathy to her sorrowing fam- ily. “Why does my piano go out of tune?” This questionâ€"and others â€"together with valuable techni- cal information is contained in a leaflet compiled by professional Piano-tuner Al Pyle of 5 Beaver- ton Road, Richmond Hill and a copy may be obtained by calling or telephoning. Mr. Pyle employs the “Strobo- Tuner"-â€"one of the only two ma- chines of its type in Ontarioâ€" utilizing the system of electronic piano tuning that has been per- fected by the Conn Company of Elkhart, Indiana. This technique represents a phenomenal advance over the regular piano tuning system dependant on the human eat, as the “Strobe-Tuner" de- tects the fine beats that emanate from the upper and lower ends of the keyboard; beats that would be impossible for the human ear to detect. AI Pyle Expert Professional Tuner Mr. Pyle’s professional back- ground includes five years in Pittsburgh, U.S.A., where he was engaged in every phase of piano manufacture, repair, and tuning; he also received expert instruc- tion in the operation of the “Strobo-Tuner' from the manu- facturer â€" also practical experi- ence in the United States. To ob- tain specialized instruction in electric organ tuning by this lat- est method, Mr. Pyle is shortly to visit the Conn Electric Organ Company in Elkhart, Indiana.
