$150.00 a year car allowance, Instead of a mileage account was suggested for township assessors. In reply to a request from the Council of Tilbury that Markham Township give its support to a resolution for a change in grants to community centres, Markham Council voted unanimously on its own resolution that “The Depart- men‘ of Agriculture give consid- eration to increasing grants for community centres and arenas.” Finance Report The Finance Committee re- port presented by Chairman Dean was received by Council and after further consideration will be dealt with at a later date before it is passed. Several changes in township procedure were recommended by the committee such as Retire- ment Age: age of retirement for ‘police and female employees was recommended for 60 years of age; for other male help 65 years, with the provision that male help can remain on staff after that age at the special re- quest of Council. Community Centre Grants . Councillor J. MacNeil asked about payment of taxes on land for cemeteries and was informed by the clerk that as soon as it came into use as a burying ground it would be tax free, under the present system. However it was pointed out that it might not be in use for 10 or 20 years, and that Mr. J. R. McAlister, Director Of Cemeteries had forecast just such a possibility as this land purchase for future use when he appeared before Council last year. (Legislative action is also forecast to make ‘cemeteries taxable.) Stating that “at $15. per diem. Markham Township Council will still be‘the lowest paid council north of Metro," Chairman Dean requested the $10 per diem pay be raised five dollars for 1960. Under the Municipal Act coun- clllors may receive up to $20 per diem, or $1,000 a year. Deputy-reeve Dean: “If we approve, we should map in the road allowances.” Th/e reeve concurred stating, “We must give some thought to this for once we have given approval, that’siit.’j - _ ‘ n I Markham Township has received its first application (since 1940) to establish a corporation cemetery, Clerk Harry Crisp informed Council at its meeting Monday night. The Toronto General Burying Grounds has applied for approximately 200 acres of land, Lots 14 and 15, Con- cession 6, Markham Township at No. 7 and 16th Avenue. Council deferred taking any action on the application until "every angle is gone into, and such things as roads around the cemetery and through the cemetery are determined”. A permit for Holy Cross cemetery, Yonge Streetwas issued 20 years before it was officially used. Reeve W. L. Clark said he thought council should also arrange that the corporation take over an abandoned cem- etery in that area too, so that it could be restored and maintained. firoperty, Finance, Roads Committees Make Reports Markham 'I'wp.

There will be no more "free loading" of snow by the roads department for township resi- dents who hitherto have request- ed the township to plough out their snow-bound driveways.

(By Ron Cfane) Robbie Burns Day came to Richmond Hill on January 25th as it enevitably does but this year, the day set aside to do hon- our to Scotland’s famous bard heralded the official opening of the Richmond Hill Curling Club - a bra' day it was too. Richmond Hill, who a the op- ening session. of York County Council was elected Chairman of the important Property Commit- tee for the coming year. Mr. Maxwell got his aspirates and consonants sadly scrambled and there must be quite a few people convinced that AD Varley is president of/ the local curling club, It just isn’t so and A1 re- fuses to change his name no mat- ter what people think. ’ ‘ NORTH YORK -â€" The Parks Committee of North York Coun- cil is investigating a request by the Board of Education regard- ing the development of 1 acres of land in the township for a community arena. Mayor Ken Tomlin kicked off the speeches and the text of his remarks conveyed the universally accepted idea that the Curling Club is something in which all Richmond Hill can take pi'ide. President Al Harley Throws Perfect Rock To Officially Open Fine New CurlingRink After a sumptuous buffet, pre- sided over by‘lady members of the curling club, opening cere- monies were carried out with Doug Maxwell as M_.

There are enough witty epigrams and trenchant observa- tions to make your conversation sparkle for months. How about a line like â€" ‘.A garden is a good lesson, so much dies in it â€" and so often." Or then there’s -â€" “Love can be had any day. Success is far harder!” Then again, you may er â€" “I never listen to, what one woman says of another" or “When you are old everyone sees your faults â€"- except yourself." And we could go on. r Richmond Hiil Curtain Club Pians Thirteenth Production Next Month However, it's not fair to give the whole plot away (not to men- tion the laugh-lines) -- far better go along and thoroughly enjoy a play that will amuse; surprise â€"â€" and give you plenty to think about as well. . “The ChalkGarden” is the Cur- tain Club's thirteenth production (speaking of full-length plays) but there's little superstition in the Club. Members are looking forward to this play with the knowledge that it’s “one of the best” and should help to enhance the reputation the club has for putting on “good shows". Regular patrons will remember “Rebecca”. “Gaslight”, “The Mar- riage". “The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker", “Harvey”, “High Ground”, “The Happiest Days of Your Life” and “Blithe Spirit" â€"- to mention a few. In addition the club has pres- ented many one-act plays and has also staged productions for the Canadian Cancer Society and the Ontario Mental Health Associa- tion. Last December they started out on a new venture â€" an English pantomime “Cinderella” â€" which was such an outstanding success that it will, in all probability, be- come an annual event. REEVE JAMES HAGGART Golden Liqn $70.00 $215 STARTING “ME-8 ,PM. 14 Numbers Called JACKPOT Another year of advance and progress was the keynote of the reports presented at the annual vestry meeting of St. Mary's A'n- glican Church. on Tuesday even- ing. January 26, in Wrixon Hall. The Rector, the/Rev. J. F. O’Neil, was chairman of the meeting. Annual Vestry Meeting At St. Mary's Anglican The Churchwarden‘s Report and Financial Statement revealed to the well-attended meeting that the parish continued to show healthy growth and that all fin- ancial obligations were met in the current year. One of the high- lights of the year was the Every Member Visitation last fall which raised the level of stewardship in the life of the parish. The debt on the parish hall and land pur- chases has been reduced consid- erably over the past year and it is hoped another year will see it cleared away completely. The} Rector in his report encouraged the congregation to go forward in faith and make 1960 a year of planning for the future. The need for an overall plan of expansion of present church facilities is ur- gent as well as the need for fur- President Al Harley gave a brief history of the origin and formation of the club and intro- duced his executive. He gave praise and tribute to those’ whose hard and unstinting work have made the club an actual fact and not just an idea scratched on a piece of paper. Mr. Tomlin is so right and his re- marks were elaborated on by Mr. Neil Gregory of the O. C. A. who said that the recognition and pre- stige of the town of Richmond Hill would be immeasurably en- hanced by the activities of the club. ' Rev. J. F. O’Neil of St.'Mary’s Anglican Church, this season’s club chaplain, amused all those present by stating that the 9.30 am. service on Sunday morning seemed to be gaining in attend- ance now that the club was open. Mr. O’Neil Was in complete ac- ord with“ the other speakers and agreed that this was a very fine example of community spirit in action. - Mr. Hubert Allan. manager of the club, came in for his share of praise, and rightly so. Mr. Allan, or “flu,” as he is most often cal- led, is working like a beaver to make the club a success and is succeeding mightily. The local club was fortunate indeed to ob- tain the services of Mr. Allan. May the association be a long and a happy one ' And the Curtain Club of Rich- mond Hill is making a name for itself outside the confines of the town. Two years ago Rex Seven- oaks, in the Club’s production of “The 'Marriage” in the Central Ontario Drama Festival, won an award for the best supporting ac- tor in the Festival. Last year the Club won the Calvert Trophy for the best presentation in the Fes- tival with their production of “Clerembard” (directed by Mr. Sevenoaks) which also copped the “best actor” (for Robert Peace) and “best actress" (for Sheila Siegerman) awards. ‘ “The Chalk Garden” is being entered in this year’s Festival but Richmond Hill audiences will have a chance to see it first. It is playing for three nights at the Lions Hall on Centre Street, on February 11, 12 and 13. In the light of past achieve- ments and local acclaim, we think it safe to say you won’t be sorry if you buy a ticket and help support this local club by being a member of the audience.

The Sector filmstrip tak- en of St. Mary’s was shown by Mr. L. T. Wainwright and the Evening Guild served refresh- ments at the conclusion of the meeting. After the brief speeches the curlers took their places on the ice and were led around the rink by the traditional piper. Presi- dent Al Harley cast the first stone and the man must lead a very pure life as the gods were on his side and he threw a flawless stone. An exhibition of curling was then given with 12 rinks taking part. The Burns Day opening was pure coincidence, but it seemed appropriate that the local shrine of the "roaring game” v should officially open on a traditional Scottish day. If you are interest- ed in curling, drop up to the club, about 300 yds. east of Yonge St. on the south side of the Elgin Mills side road. You wil certainly be pleasantly stir- prised.
