At the York County Elementary School Trustees’ 1959 convention held last week one of the, highlights of the evening session was a panel discussion on “How to get more value from the educational dollar”. President R. J. Pollock acted as chairman for the panel and panel mem- bers were: _ . -.- “I n,_l-_.L..___L A-fl E‘J Mr. ucation ; Pierre Berton, confronted with the latter question said emphati- cally, “Yes. if the school board thinks they are necessary.” Mr. Berton said he didn’t think the schools gave enough considera- tion to the aspect of physical exercise for all school children for one thing. “I don’t think school boards should hold the line" he emphasized this by referring to school board candidates in Vaughan Township who had de- clared they would hold the line for the taxpayers at a nomination meeting he had attended earlier last week. “Thé people should in- sist on proper education in a coun- try that has the money Canada has," he maintained. Mr. Berton apparently worried Reeve Perry when he stated, “I think mill rates are nonsense and foolishâ€" and the standard of art training is not high enough in rural schools." He said further that he was bothered by the lack of kin- dergartens and the lack of atten- tion to gifted and retarded chil- ren. I think school trustees should worry about givingâ€"not about the mill rate going up. I think the ]board of school trustees is not to hold the line but to see how iork County Council approved, among others, the following by- laws at its final session last Fri- day ......, . 1. To apportion the assessment of the Town of Richmond Hill and the Township of Vaughan for rating in the year 1960. 2. Designated Bayview Avenue a through highway marked by stop signs. 3. Designated the Maple Road and Markham Road a through and Mar highway. The Increase in assessment for the County of York made in 1959 amounts to approximately $26 million dollars. The aggregate total assessment is in excess of 150 million dollars.

Reeve Perry exploded into ver- bal action by saying, “We have had these arguments before â€" with Mr. Berton the ‘sky is the limit’. But, if we provide these things for the children are we replacing the influence of the home?" Pierre Berton said: "I didn‘t say the sky is the limit but I do say we should have more than we have. These same things can come from the homes, but they are started in the schools.” He added, “I don’t think children should be taught by anyone without a uni- versity education.” Mr. Perry: Should we go so far as to hire someone to teach our children how to handle clean- ing agents and how to set a table? . Reeve Perry was later given the question: Are teachers’ sal- aries out of line? He began his answer by stating the value of the dollar is now forty cents,, “multiply teachers salaries of the past by two and a half and it comes out about right. I don’t think teachers' salaries are out of line.” ship of Vaughan were equalized at $16,903,982. and $18,429,672 respectively: And _tl}e Pgundaries _-_‘.VVV,, of the said municipalities were altered by annexation of a por~ tion of the Township of Vaughan to the Town of Richmond Hill (area north from Loblaws on Yonge St. south of the Elgin Mills Road). Richmond‘ Hill’s equalized as- sessment for county rates to be levied in 1960 is $16,916,189: Vaughan Township’s equalized assessment remaining after an- nexation upon which county rates shall be levied for the year 1960 is $18,417,465. _ The lock-up cells at N ewmarket police department are inadequate and the Police Committee headed by John Perry, chairman, recom- mends the 1960 Police Committee provide new ofiice quarters and cells rigL/ig/u‘a Present Charter To Men's Club Wednesday, November 18th was the occasion of the chartering of the Richmond Hill United Church Men’s Club as a United Church A. O. T. S. affiliate. The older United Church in Richmond Hill was sponsored into the national organization. em- bracing Men's Clubs across the country, by St. Matthew's United Church in Richmond Hill. Rev. Charles Higginson was chairman of the meeting.

There is a lot of work, like cut- ting brush on township roads, that could provide employment to benefit the township_," said Councillor Douglas Hutchins at King Twp. council meeting when relief officer Harold Russell ask- ed council about the relief prob- lem. It was decided that application be made to the municipal affairs department for a winter works program for such jobs as brushâ€" ing on the township roads, but care is to be exercised to make sure that applicants for this work are as carefully screened as .are applicants for relief. This will be a township program. BIRDS EYE FROZEN AYLMER CHOICE TOMATOES COFFEE CHASE & SANBORN WHITE 1 GRANULATED ‘ 5 lb.

At last week’s Rotary Club meeting in Aurora there was a discussion of the proposal and after an open discussion a vote taken which was against the two year term and in favor of annual elections. The Aurora Banner reports that among the points made against the two year term was that it has never been proven that the two year term anywhere has improved the efficiency of a council and in fact there are cases of greater indifference when an- I98 Yongo Shoo!

If a council is do- ing good work, it can be re-elect- ed. Annual elections encourage more men to come forth, and keep a man from being put per- manently on a shelf if he hap- pens to be defeated. One year may be too short for a good councillor. but two years is a lot too long for a bad one. SHIRT SERM} 20 oz. tins 12 oz. pkg PHIL.
