He said a high standard of efficiency has been maintained and the Chief‘s recommendations are made to meet changing con- ditions. Mayor Tomlin in suggesting that the Fire Chief’s recommenda- tion must have the consideration A recommendation that Richmond Hill Fire Depart- ment be modernized and brought up to date by the ap- pointment of at least four additional permanent members featured the'annual report of Fire Chief Alfred Stong‘ to Town Council Monday night. The Chief said an appeal for volunteers had failed to produce the men needed flto maintain the strength of the brigade, and at present there is difficulty in getting sufficient men for daytime calls. Many of the present force have employment which makes them unavailable during the ordinary working hours. “These conditions,” said the Chief, “are not too secure and a great deal of uncertainty prevails whenever the alarm sounds.

By Mona Robertson “Four thing's man must learn to do â€"â€" If 'he would make his record true: To think â€" without confusion â€"- clearly To love his fellow man â€" sincerely To act from honest motives, purely To trust in God in heaven â€" securely.” Dr. H. Van Dyke At the thirty-sixth annual Commencement Exercises on Friday evening of last week, guest speaker Judge H. S. Mott, quoted the above poem, enlarging on each thought contained in the stanza. Judge Mott was introduced to the graduates. parents and friends who filled the high school audi- torium, by Mr. Morley Kinnee, Vaughan Township representa- tive on the York Central District High School Board, and Mr. Kin- nee told his listeners, “Judge Mott meted out counsel and jus- tice in the Juvenile Court for 33 years. This audience is privileged to listen to this gentleman to- night." Mr. Kinnee said he him- self could well remember words he had heard many years ago when the judge spoke on another occasion at Maple. Born and educated in Athens, "Not the ancient, but the modern Athens”, he taught school for 20 years, as well as dealing with court work, and as he put it, “I therefore have some knowledge of the composition of a school room â€" which is more than a mathematical problem." He said the high school board of trustees should be congratulated “on hav- ing such an ‘atmosphere’ and stud He counselled the thirty-five graduates stating, “From my experience and observation men and women must learn to trust in something â€"- you need a faith to help you. My young friends â€" I would like to dare to wish that this little poem be yours.” Chief Stong in his report point- ed out thaLmany of the present volunteers by reason of their em- ployment found it impossible to answer calls at' certain times of the day. The Chief said that de- spite handicaps the department is efficient and working fine un- der the circumstances. but the load of responsibility is falling on too few-about six members. The Chief said he joined the bri- gade as a volunteer 27 years ago. The population then, was about 1500 and while today we have grown to 15,000 or more the bri- gade still fights fires with the same number of men. “Every- thing else has been modernized," he said, “why not the Fire De partment?" Scout Hut Representatives of 3rd Rich- mond Hill Troup Boy Scouts ap- peared seeking permission to erect 8 Scout hut on the green- belt north of Centre Street East. We have no home of our own, said the spokesman in pointing Councillor Bradstock, said he was a hundred per cent behind the recommendations. “They are very timely" he said. Councillor Héggart said Rich- mond Hill is most fortunate in having such an efficient fire bri- gade. He added words of con- gratulation to Chief Stong for a "good job well done." Judge Mofl Guest Speaker '59 Commencement Night Richmond Hill High Schooi Councillor Paterson said the addition of four full time firemen would mean an expenditure of $18,000 to $20,000. This he said represents about 1 mill on the taxes and is very cheap insur- ance. He said he was prepared to move that the Chief prepare a report of the estimated expense of the extra men. The Mayor said such a report is already being prepared. "In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity.” HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 . . SINGLE c’oiY’idc' Prior to the Commenicement Exercises the Student Council Last Friday's Commencement saw the largest number of honour graduates ever to pass through the Richmond Hill High School portals. And Principal F. W. Morrow stated with pride "Of all the papers written 92.5% passed." There were 35 honour graduates who received their dip- lomas and 50 secondary school students who received diplomas. Speaking of “Commencement”, Judge Mott said, “It is just an- other level with greater respon- sibility; with better and wider preparation." “This is a very im- perfect world and some of us may have thought the loving Creator might have made it bet- ter. But I want to say â€" it's the best world. It’s got a challenge in it. The very fact that it is an imperfect world gives us the op- portunity to struggle to make it more perfect. This is the day of opportunity". â€"-_for it all goes together. Council approved in principle of the request and referred the mat- ter.o£ location to the Parks Com- mittee. A site just north of the new Thornhaven School was sug- gested. It was stated the pro- posed building would be about 30 by 60 and would be financed by the committee. The third troup includes 105 scouts. It was point- ed out there are in all, 8 troups in town.

The attendance was smaller than usual but the cere- mony was fitting and impressive with a colorful parade, sincere tributes to the brave young men of the community who paid the supreme sacrifice in two wars, and a stirring message by Major Rev. J. Y, Fraser, Sunnybrook Hospital chaplain. A local and well-known bagpipe “virtuoso”, has undertaken to play the part of Santa. His visit to the Hill will not be a fleeting one. Instead he will appear on Yonge Street on at least five separate occasions, greeting Christmas shoppers and particu- larly their youngsters, the latter being given Christmas candies from the big bag that Santa will carry. Each visit to that part of “Ontario's Main Street" that runs through Richmond Hill will be of There will be no Santa Claus parade this year, members of the Yonge Street Business and Pro- fessional Association decided at a recent meeting. They figured that a lot of time and money had to be spent on such a project and while not grudging‘ either, con- cluded that a much more effec- tive job could be done. A com- mittee to devise plans was named and its first meetings have re- sulted in preliminary plans being announced. Trihfie Pad R Jas. Butler For 30 Yea? Record Can you imagine these hardy pioneers making the long trek from Pennsylvania, or from the British Isles, through the forests, up the narrow path called Yonge Street. They stopped at the toll gates along the way to pay the gate keeper who let them pass ahead to the next stretch of road. The road was maintained by these men who collected the toll charg. es to pay for their work. Under the Beech Tree One particular family stopped at the old toll gate at Langstaff and turned west toward the bush. Surrounded by magnificent wood- land they chose a beech tree and under it made their camp for the night. Safe and exultant they had reached the land that was to be the home of their des- cendants for the‘ next 175 years. Names prominent in this country- side can trace their ancestry back to this ltttle family under the tree' â€" Cober Raeman, Baker, Winger. It's a decidedly rare sight to see Santa Claus walking up and down the main street of a busy Ontario community, playing “Jingle Bells” on the bagpipes and distributing Christmas can- dies to the youngsters. But it’s likely to be one that. Richmond Hill shoppers will see on a num- ber of occasions during the up- coming Christmas season. Next Monday night promises to be interesting for Vaughan Town- ship residents - especialhl those with children in the elementary grades. Aspirants to the newly formed Vaughan Township School Area Board will be nominated - five to be elected. Ballots will be cast the next Monday. November 23rd. Education Important to Pioneers Not content with wresting a living from the land, this family and others like them thirsted for nourishment of the spirit - they held religious services, and look- ed around for someone to give formal instruction to their child- ten in reading, ‘riting and ‘rith- metic. They found various itinerant teachers, one a young man who taught for several months of the year in one of the homes charging 500 a month per child. The tui- tion was paid by the parents. It can be said. too, that the parents taught their children to observe nature, and physical exercise and manual training were forced upon the youngsters in their quest for survival. The girls learned “home economics." cook- ing, weaving, candle and butter making.

None too quick is the transfor- mation coming to the rural school children of the township. Today the populous portions of the township are able to finance a broader education for their young. The rural children would be handicapped if we did not make sure that population does not make for discrimination. Especial- ly against those children whose areas are sparsely populated and where from want of assessment or interest, the residents are un- able to bring up the educational standards. Santa's’ rendition of “Jinglg Bells” and other melodies not usually heard on the pipes will not be the only music to be heard on Yonge Street during the Christmas season, say members of the organizing committee. Ar- rangements are being made to have choral groups sing Christmas numbers at various points in the week before Christmas. But there is a quickenlng over the township - it is like a quiet woodland awaiting the warm breath of spring to burst into a profusion of blossom; so Vaugh. an seems poised on the edge of a new era in her development. l-Ialt Discrimination tion. around 1816, the province assured costs. Little log schools sprang up in the township. The children, as one document puts it “from five to twenty-three years" sat on rude benches their warmth coming from an open fireplace. They wrote on small slates and books were scarce. At one time a lone geography served as the text for the whole school. Then one hundred years ago several schools were built that are still in use today. According to a Vaughan trustee. C. A. Chevis the century old white frame schoolhouse at Mount Lebanon presented one of the neatest and best cared for appearances of any school. new or old, on the recent trustees' tour of- Vaughan township schools. Anoth- er century old school is at Carr- ville. It. too, is in good repair and in full use. Nejv Era for Township There are benefits to be de. rived from the long walk to the little red school house, and a cer- tain independence of mind can come from “working on one’s own." in an ungraded school, but lack of supervision, crowding, and lack of a full programme of studies can spell inadequate pre- paration for high school.
