Mrs. (Johm Margaret M‘artin, President of York County Men- tal Health Association outlined the forming of the White Cross group in York County almost two years ago. Since then it is most amazing the achievements that have been realized as to their inifial aims. which were. to offer assistance as a volunteer group, and in com- batting mental illness by pro- moting mental health in York County. A different type program for this year was presented at the George Bailey Public School when Maple Community and School Club held their meeting last week. . York Pres. Of Mental Health Addresses Community Club STEEL LINTElS l BEAMS Kept in Stock Portable Crane Service STEEL FABRICATING By Toby Shore The happy realization is that with the New Look for many of the hospitals wherein the public is invited to visit, family and friends are encouraged to keep in' touch with patients and co- operate to the full with the doc- tors and with the ever-growing scientific skill along mental health lines and the public ac- cepting it as an illness to be treated as such and not as a ‘fclosed subject'. We can soon hope to see a much brighter pic- ture. With more clinics and beds made available the outlook is hopeful with 70 per cent of the patients recovering or improv- ing when given adequate treat- ment. Mrs. Martin .presented a film entitled. “Someone Who Cares". that showed the White Cross vol- unteers as they visited in the mental hospitals. Surely the re- sponse of the patient to these friendly workers. is well worth any time or effort spent by the volunteer â€" as when they get their first timid handclasp. a fleeting smile of recognition or when they can join in the proud display of a handicraft. witness the winning of a prize in a game, encourage a sing song or just being there with a lonesome one. to sit with or talk with and in time because of your few hours given to someone in desperate need, along with the medical science of our day. you see him grow in stature and gradually grope back to take his place in society. It is then in the realiza- tion that you have, had a part in the rebirth of a citizen â€" your reward is complete. C.M.H.A. was founded in 1918 by a group of citizens, keenly aware of the need, who got to- gether to discuss ways and means of helping improve the mental health of every citizen and to pre- vent mental sickness whenever possible. What can We do as citizens of The annual report of the Township of Markham Plan- ning Board for 1959 which has just been released states that the whole of the Township of Markham has been designated an area of subdivision control since 1948, and therefore any subdivision of land must either receive the consent of the Planning Board or approval of a registered plan of subdivision_ dependent on the numbgr of lots in- volved. ‘ 116 applications for consent to subdivision were approved during 1959, 18 refused. In the same period six appli- cations for registered plan of subdivision covering 643 lots were approved with one applica- tion covering 21 lots refused. Plan Amendments Three amendments to the offi- cial plan for the township were applied for and approved. They were: No. llâ€"A highway com- mercial zone having L400 ft. frontage on No. 7. Highway at Unionville: No. 12 â€" Canadian Bank of Commerce. Uniouville; and No. l3â€"To open a large sewered development area in the southwest corner. Last week was National Health week and 1960 is slated as World Mental Health Year and much stress will be placed in the pap- ers and before the public on the realization that we have a duty towards 'our fellow man and through the White Cross Volun- teers we have the opportunity of fulfilling that duty. The Board approved seven ap- plications for new industries dur- ing the year. They were the Rich- vale Block Work Centre; Assinck Brothers Steel Fabricating: Nor- den Building Products: J. Kittask~ Wood Manufacturing; Ratclifie Brothers â€"- Lumber Yard and Showroom: Onway Limited -â€" As- phalt Plant: Boosey 8; Hawkes â€" Musical Instruments and Sheet Music. Joint Sewage Study The Board recommended that a joint sewage study be under- taken by Richmond Hill. Mark- ham and Vaughan. This has been completed. Cemetery Roads The Board made recommenda- tiogs regarding future roads through the Holy Cross Cemeter} and inconnection with extensions Now with'the wonderful work of C,M.H.A. and its dedicated members. we the public are be- ing taught to accept mental health as we would any other type of illness and in so doing give life and hope to the many sufferers of this disease that is no respector of persons or station in society. Annual Report Three appications. two of which were for Service Stations. were refused. Zoning By-Laws Two major zoning bylaws were prepared by the Board and ap- proved by Council as were also three minor amendments. Markham Planning Bd. Before there was a public health service organized as such in this district. Mrs. Martin as a public health nurse checked the child- ren in our schools on general health. She is on the board of directors for the Children’s Aid Society, Anyone privileged to hear her speak on the subject of Mental Health, so obviously close to her heart, could sense the dedication to this problem that for too many years has been rele- gated way back in the dim back- ground of society as something to be shunned or spoken of only in whispers. Now with'the wonderful work Mrs. Martin, who has resided in Maple for twelve year: is most capably schooled to fill her pos- ition in the C.M.H.A. She is a graduate of Toronto General Hosâ€" pital and took a Public Health Course at the University of Tor- onto. If you feel your time is pretty much taken up with small child- ren who are unpredictable, to put it mildly. when you try to stick to any form or plan â€"â€" you may still assist the Canadian Mental Health Association by sending in $1.00 and thereby be- coming a member and as a mem- ber you Will receive literature on the advancement in mental health and your contribution will be used to help brighten that picture of the future for those with mental illness. Mrs. Martin informed us that in our own Maple area. a resi- dent home has been approved and already occupied. Right at our back door the urgent call goes out for volunteer workers. Maybe from some organized groups an evening, even once a month. could be arranged from three or four different associa- tions so these men and women who need to know “someone cares," may come to realize what we sometimes lightly accept. the commandment of Jesus to "Love. Thy Neighbor”. In being understanding and thoughtful of those in less for- tunate circumstances than we, we help make this Old World â€". for them and for us â€"- a better place to live in. of Henderson Avenue and Elgin Street. CNR Line Redesigned is also most demanding and re- quires a regular time set aside and kept. You will appreciate this when you realize that Mental Illness is the number one health problem and of the 5.000 new patients in our Ontario mental hospitals almost half have had no visitor or letter in over a year. If you find you can either or- ganiz-e several volunteers from your group or among your friends as White Cross Volunteers or can give time yourself. please phone Margaret Martin at AL. '7- 1384. She would be mosp pleased, as will you. Many meetings were held with ratepayers and the CNR regard- ing the relocation of the new line. In addition the Board ob- jected to line’s effect on road intersections in the Township, and were successful in having the line redesigned to avoid these intersections. Studies were made of the affect of various developments on edu- cation. Jail Farm Future The Board prepared 3 developâ€" ment scheme for the Jail farm in- dustrial area and this was ap- proved in principal by Council. It suggests that once the City of Toronto sells the property. the municipality may enter into a joint development sheme with a purchaser in return for a guar- anteed selling price for industrial land. If this scheme comes to pass it will provide Markham with a key industrial area where land prices are very reasonable. Will Meet Metro The men â€"- oh yes there are men volunteers as well, some- times several from an organiza- tion will set aside a special night where they visit a home where several men are residents. Here they often get around to discus- sing current events. the progress in industries advertising or buy- ing. Anything to help readjust these men to be able to accept the challenge of the \vorkaday world. A rousing game of poker, hobbies in wood-carving, etc., or if mixed couples go together a good old fashioned square dance Will Meet Metro The Board met with Metro Planning Board in April, May. June, October and November to request release of the southwest corner of the township for de- velopment to spread the tax load more evenly: Finally the develop- ment area was approved and re- leased. is much enjoyed. The evefiifié always winds up with the volun- teer serving an attractive array of refreshments. To the White Cross volunteers who have been active, it is most rewarding and satisfying, but if is also most demanding and re- a more normal home living be- fore taking the big step out in society again or returning to their families. Their great need at this stage is to be accepted as responsible citizens and here is where the White Cross volunteer is invaluable. Perhaps it is to show a former housewife a few new tricks in the culinary arts, teach sewing or proper groom- ing and sometimes just to enter into a social evening of fun and games. Maple? The Whit-e Cross Volun- teers visit the guests in Ontario- hospital approved homes through- out York County. At present there are 17 such homes in our area with over 300 residents who were former patients in hospital. Now they are greatly improved and are becofning acclimatized to AURORA : The town of Aurora has asked County Council to seek ‘to discontinue the present Aur- Jra High School District and to astablish a new district exclud- 1ng the area relative to the new )roposed high school to be locat- ,d in King township".

Another interesting tale about old pennies was related by Mrs. Gardiner. As a hobby she had kept.old pennies but during de- pression days her girls had dis- covered the treasures, nof know- ing they were any special inter- est 01‘ value they spent them. The treasurer’s report showed a balance of $52.32. The secre- tary read a lovely letter of thanks for the WI gift from Mrs. Frank Wilkins. Her health is slightly improved. A letter of apreciation from the sister Scottish WI for the apples was also read. Five dollars was voted‘for the membership fee of the York Pioneer and Historical Society. It was the wish of the members to take part in the Adelaide Hood- less Home Project in Hamiltonâ€" moving and preservation of the building. The fee is 10c per mem- ber. A thumb nail synopsis of Mani- toba was given \by Mrs. Nelson Thompson. one of New Bruns- wick, written by Mrs. Wm. Mit- chell and read by Mrs. P. Beck- ett. These studies are making us more familiar with our Canadian provinces. Mrs. Everett Phillips gave current events after which she read a poem relating how The Temperanceville WI held their February meeting at the home of Mrs. Fred Hare. The roll call “Your oldest coin” proved most interesting not only because of the age but also the figures and inscriptions. Mrs. Fred Hare produced the oldest coin present â€"â€" that of 1776, an English coin in the reign of King George III. Those receiving overseas regarding send duplicate to Walker, Aurora. "Troubles aré pretty wellvdivid- ed among human beings." Members were asked to attend the World Day of Prayer meeting to be held March 4th in Temper- ancevifle Church.

In the afternoon some 35 rela- tives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hare to ofier congratulations and celebrate the 59th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Hare and the christening of their great-granddaughter, Shelley Turner. It was a happy event for the grandparents who enjoyed hav- ing their relatives present on this occasion. (they were married on February 20, 1901). and Shelley too, enjoyed the attention she r°~ ceived. A lovely anniversary cake marked the 59th anniversary and The Mérch meeting win be held at the home of Mrs. Milton Wells. Temperanceville W.|.

An incen- tive to prevent her youngsters from arguing, Mrs. C. Beyhon read several poems pertaining to the Rugmaker. Weaving creates imagination, self development and many use- ful articles for the home or as gifts can be made. As a weaver. Mrs. Warner feels this hobby is most intriguing and fascinating, has rhythm which keeps the whole body in continuous rhythm. A special interest to women is that a weaver will not develop hips. Weaving helps one obtain com- plete serenity -â€"-â€" distracts from one’s worries and- gives relief from tension. This craft demands your whole attention and encour- ages individual creativeness which is important in any hobby. Mrs. Warner invited any who may be interested to visit her home and see how the loom is operated. Mrs. Clayton Beynon and Mrs. Nelson Thompson have already taken advantage of Mrs. Warner’s invitation and had samples of ar- ticles they were creating after their brief experience as weavers. Wool and bale twine were used in these creations. Mrs. Maurice Beynon spoke of a rug she had made with lyle stocking, Mrs. Gardiner displayed a rug made out of old \vool sewed by mahine to a cotton backing. Mrs. Everett Phillips told how she made the braided rugs she had on hand to show the members. This Brogram on hobbies was most interesting and enjoyable. a pretty christening cake was made on behalf of little Shelley.

They included the weddings of different members of the family which have taken place in the last few years is well as other interesting events. Unfortunately some of those in- vited were stormbound. Rev. and Mrs. Kennedy were among those who had the pleasure of being present. Marks and St. Johns are to be guests. Mrs. Alex Gallacher of Oak Ridges will be the speaker. Time 2.30 pm.

Mrs. P. Beckett explained and showed a book compiled by a relative on the “Family Tree." Mrs. Beynon called on one of the newer members Mrs. Warner who gave a brief outline of the history of Weaving which became known about 2000 BC. In the olden days the whole family took part in this fine art, even the children who had the pleasure of operating the shuttles. To Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Hare we wish continued happiness and health. As for little Shelley we are looking forward to seeing a great deal more of he.“ as she grows up. services.
