(a) Sodding of the area from the school fence to the road. (b) Pro‘ viding of a sidewalk on the north of Shasta Drive. (c) Paving of Upland Road. Paving of the road and sodding combined would be ideal. Thornhill Responsibility fortable. Members and stat! of the Home and School Association were greatly concerned. The area in wet weather Mrs. Maslin de- scribed as a sea of water and mud. It ls all slippery sllme she stated. Uplands lane mess of pot- holes and a driver however care- ful cannot avoid all the holes and children are frequentlywsplashed. If it occurs when children are going to school they must remain in the uncomfortably wet clothing which is detrimental to their health. On the other hand if it occurs when children are going home for lunch the parents may not always have a clean change of clothing available. “We have so many of these problems and often when they are brought to us they develop as someone else’s responsibility." He complained that there were too many of this kind, and he could have no sympathy with them. Refer to Road Committee Councillor Anstey suggested that this was a responsibility of the Thornhill Trustees but said he wondered if Council could not extend themselves in this matter. The Reeve asked, "Why." The Deputy Reeve also sug- gested that a copy of the letter might be sent to the Thornhill Trustees. Councillor Anstey ex- plained that there had been an earlier discussion and agreement with the Trustees and Vaughan Township had agreed to apply top 5011 if the trustees had the area graded. But so far the trustees had not carried out their agree- ment. Thus he thought this coun- cil should try to extend itself in the matter, as had now been agreed. Asks Press to Assist This is an unhappy situation which the Homo and School Asso- ciation hoped Council could do something to remedy. Various Solutions Deputy Reeve Vic Ryder said that he agreed with Councillof Anstey and suggested the matter be referred to the Road Commit- tee to investigate. Reeve John Perry .then agreed and said the investigation should be made with a view to rectifying the situation if possible. Trustees Failure During this discussion on road condition, Reeve Perry stated that he thought the press could help council by making it known that all requests for road improve- ments should be received by Council before June. Once the estimates for the year had been made up and budgeting completed it was very difficult to consider any further applications which in- evitably led to considerable dis- satisfaction among ratepayers.. . . Invitation to Ratepayers If there were people in any part of the township who thought they had I complaint or wished for improvements in the area they should take steps to inform coun- cil in good time. then their ap- plications would receive every consideration and the necessary allocations could be made. Is It Wise? Town Clerk MacDonald won- dered‘ if it was wise to make pub- lic such an appeal _on the grounds that it might bring a flood of re- quests which collectively would be outside the Council’s financial capacity to ‘deal with. The Reeve however insisted that be consid- ered the press could render a public service by informing the 'public in this matter. He stated that applications would -be con- sidered on their merits anyway and those of the most pressing nature would receive the prior consideration. There had to be some order and not everyone would be satisfied but all should have an opportunity to be heard. This was the gist of his thought on the matter. Better Now Than Late And it is better he suggested we receive a flood of requests to investigation in good time before we budget than to receive several pressing claims when it is already too late to make any allocation. Write Now! Thus readers of this newspaper living in the township area are advised moststrongly to put any requests or complaints they have int writing at the earliest pos- sib e date and not later than June. This will ensure‘at least that their requests will receive due consideration without creat- ing a financial embarraSSment to the Council. Continuing discussion on the state of township roads Deputy Reeve Ryder said that Council should do more to improve the roads. Councillor Anstey support- 'ed adding that he thought coun- cil should clamp down to conserve finances in every possible way to enable more to be spent on road improvement. The Deputy Reeve added that the Ontar'm Highway Dept. were doing less and less and is “forcing us into a position where we are going to have to in- vest in raods.” The Reeve agreed. Half Million Dollars ' Reeve Perry suggested the Road Committee should confer with Councillor W_. ‘Ansteyto investi- gate. The Councilldi' has; some fantastic ideas we shall have to curb he said jokingly, “but they are all good." 7 Cotncil Should Do More “We are spending $50,000 a year on dust laying with no end to it,” added the Deputy Reeve. “A half million dollars will be spent in this way during the next five years the way we are going.” he declared and "we are throw- ing the money out of the window with no permanent benefit.” The Reeve agreed that Council should investigate” to save on dust lay- ing and pave more roads,” Impressive Figures . The Clerk gave out some im- pressive figures for which coun- cil already had to budget, includ- ing Thornhill roads, additions to School area board buildings, the Westcott subdivision and 'othet heavy expenditures. Discussing the CNR. Reeve Perry suggested Council should be 'able to obtain compensation when expenses wereflncurred as a direct consequence of CNR, op- erations in the district: Water overflow was one potential extra expense. “Where do .we stand" he ‘asked the Clerk, who said that would involve a legal issue. “Which of course brings in the lawyers who have to be paid" _said the Reeve. "That is what you call full employment,” chuckled Councillor Anstey. An Onerous Step On the subject 'of the .Co-or- dinating Committee onIWhich the township is represented with fllchmond Hill and -Markham, Council were advised the 'next meeting would be held on Wed- nesday at Markham -Municipal ofiices and the Deputy Reeve and Councillor Anstey indicated they would be attending. Ambulance Committee The subject of five Motels came up for discussion when the Clerk handed out a draft of a proposed new bylaw which would require motels to pave their driveways. Councillor Anstey thought this was "an onerous step." He was supported by Deputy Reeve Ry- der. Councillor Ralph said he would favor it if the word "re- quire" was substituted by the word "suggest." Reeve Perry was inclined to accept the proposed bylaw and the Clerk said he thought it was in line with the general requirement already laid on this type of establishment to retain a neat and clean appear- ance etc. It was finally agreed that af suggestion rather'than a requirement should be made.to the motels. Co-Ordinatlng Committee The Reeve indicated he was in- terested to Set up a connnmee to investigate possibility of estab- lishing an ambulance service. Deputy Reeve Vii: Rydei- made a motion which was seconded by Councillor Anstey and carried that such a committee should be set up. Councillors Ralph and Anstey agreed to serve on the committee: - > Council Office Equipment The Clerk brought up question of Council Office equipment par- ticularly in connection with need for a new adding machine. The Reeve stated that he believed in buying where there was a need. Cost of a suitable machine would be $650. The purchase was ap- proved on motion of Councillor Anstey and seconded by the Deputy Reeve. This led on to the question of the furnishing of the committee room Councillor Anstey declared the present furniture "must be forty years old.” Reeve Perry added that "We spend half our lives in that room" and added that it was not very presentable into which to introduce important guests. With unanimous concur- rence of the Council the Clerk was authorized to investigate and report to Councillor Ralph on the refurnishing of the committee room. It was suggested. further that some of the present1 furniture might prove suitable for use by the Planning Dept. Toward the close of the Coun- cil meeting. Reeve Perry advised that there was no formal opening of council for 1960 (as reported in these columns last week) be- cause the Council had been’elect- ed for a two year term, and were simply entering at file'beginning of 1960 on their second year term. The Reeve's humor is infec- tions. His high mark for this council meeting wa reached when he declared at one‘ point during the evening, “Council have not the authority to put everybody’s diapers on." Mr. F. H. Brennan. chairman of the Township of Markham Planning Board, in his annual re- port for 1959 discloses that com- mercial and industrial building in the township is showing a steady, healthy rise. Last year it rose to 40.5% as compared to new res- idential building of 59.5 per cent.

Earlier on motion of Trustee E. Axelson and Trustee V. Snid- er the board agreed to renew its affiliation with the following or- ganizations for 1960: (a) Associa- tion of School Business Officials $26.00, (b) Associated High School Boards of Ontario, $25.00, (c) Ontario Urban and Rural'School Trustees’ Association, and (d) Ontario School Trustees’ Coun- cil, $150.00. ~ The board agreed to pay the expenses of the two staff business officials, Mrs. J. R. McAllister, secretary-treaurer, and Mr. D. J. Ashworth, business administra- tor, to the annual meeting of the Association of School Business Ofilclals in Ottawa this month. After being informed by Mr. Ash- worth that he felt the trustees could gain by attendance "at the convention, Mrs. Kathleen James said she would like to attend if her expenses _vgere paid. Trustee J. Howes commented, "We should attefid all three con- ventions where we can gain in- formation for the board." ‘ Trustee M. Kinnee recalled,‘ “For years I attended the-coax ventions of the Associated, High School Boards of Ontario gregu- larly, as well as zone meetings, and got lots to bring back to the board. I’d like to see this board doing more than they: are about going to conventions. There you gain greater knowledge of our responsibilities. Sometimes there is a lack: of continuity on a board, though appointed boards have better continuity than those which are elected. And you have to be on a board a while to get to know what is happening. (Mr. Kinnee has been a member for 11 years) Many boards decide at the beginning of the year how much money they are' going to spend on conventions. It is a responsibility attending a con- vention not just an outing. Some- times l’ve had to work harder at a convention than I’ve had to on my job. I don't think up to now we've ever spent more than $250. a year on conventions," he con- cluded.

Mr. Ron Forrest is Director of Plan- ning for the township.‘ Trustee Mrs. James then-said she could go to the school offic- ials convention. The motion was then passed that expenses of trus- tees be paid to any conventions they could attend. Mrs. Barbara Langstaff stated she’d rather at- tend a convention pertaining to the committee she is serving on. Principal Morrison of Wood. bridge High School told of sev- eral Saturday conferences sched- uled at Martin J unior‘ high school in/ Port Credit and Mrs. Langstafl indicated she would like to attend some of these if it were possible to do so. Among the subjects under discussion will be “What the Univerity Looks for when Secondary Students enter the University.” Several members of the board remarked that in the coming year they hoped more discussion and inférmation concerning the cur- riculum in the York Central dis"- trict highlschools would form part of the agenda of the meet- ings. ' x V 0.M.B. Approval A letter from the board’s soli- citor, Mr. J. D. Lucas, informed them the. Ontario Municipal Board had given tentative approv- al to the building of the Bayview High School and that each of the four municipalities, the town of Richmond Hill, the townships of Markham and Vaughan and the village of Woodbridge had all been so informed. ' _ The ’board will adhere to ,its regular second Monday evening meeting date in 1960. The place of meeting will be rotated between the high schools at Richmond Hill, Thornhill and Woodbridge. Tenders for the building go 0th this Wednesday and a special, meeting of the board is called for January 28 at 8 pm. to open the tenders. During the evening a letter was read from past Chairman Harry Sayers thanking the board for the gift of a desk set and wishing them a successful new year. Members of the board ask- ed the secretary to write a letter to retiring trustees, Mr. Wesley Middleton, Mr. John Honsberger and Mr. Sayers thanking them for their service to the board. The new trustees thanked Mrs. McAlister and Mr. Ashworth for giving them a “briefing” on the boundaries, operation, etc., of the lstrict high schools last Thurs- dayLevening. Three parents of St. Luke's Separate School pupils attended and asked the board to allow just over 20 pupils to continue riding a school bus. It was pointed out the-board had no knowledge until just recently that elementary pu- pils were using the bus, and that as the bus accommodation was needed for secondary students, it was impossible for the-boards to come to any contractual agree- ment. Some students have been re- ported by theirvparents as hitch-Y hiking to Thomhill high school because their designated bus was crowded with elementary stud- ents Mr. Ashworth reported. He said along some of the way the bus. is not filled but by the time it reaches its destination it should be filled with students who have a legal right to ride the bus; If the board makes any financial ar- rangement with the parents to take the elementary children on the bus its grant from the prov- ince would be jeopardizedyit was learned. Last June York Central Dis- trict High School Board passed a motion stating that if a student who has reached theiage of 16 years has failed a grade twice he is to be readmitted to the district secondary schools only at the board’s discretion. Trustee E. Axelson was happy to report Mon- day evening to the board that two students so readmitted to Richmond Hill High School this fall seem to have profited by the board’s decision and this quarter one had made an average of 75 per cent and the other over 60 per cent. The stringency of, thg ruling says Trustee Axelson, ‘Waken. by the board has had a salutary ef- fect on the whole school." - - FOR REAL BARGAINS USE "LBERAL" CLASSIFIEDS PHONE TU. 4-1105 $81 9,460.00 area of Subdivision control since 1948, and therefore any subdiv- ision of land must either receive the consent of the Planning Board or approval of a registered plan of subdivision. dependent on the number of lots involved.

Since 1955 all‘ proposed subdivision develop- ment in the south west corner of the township has been frozen and the Metropolitan Toronto Board has steadfastly refused to permit development. This year the board felt that development was re- quired in the southern section of the water area in order to spread the tax load more evenly. and placed its case before the Metro Planning Board. ‘ The monthly; meetings of that Board were at- tended by members in April, May, June.

OF NORTH YORK Health is Wealth Health is wealth. You know this is true in your own priv- ate life. You know what ill- ness, long hospitalization and possibly death would do to your earning capacity and your family’s security. But do you realize how much dis- ease costs the taxpayers in your community every day? There is first the long and costly hospitalization of chronic illnesses, frequently borne by the taxpayers. Then there is the cost of broken homes, children to be placed in foster homes or institu- tions supported by taxpay-I ers. Therefore, by preventing disease, a long, long train of evil consequences is also pre vented. Better health for you - your family â€" your commun- ity! That’s what- you buy when you put the science of disease prevention to work in a well organized Public Health Department.
