Anril 18H: And whet about overcoats and other winter wear? (I don’t want to spoil It all now. so I won’t say that they. too. will weather out the summer far better. with- out danger of moths, if they get a good dry cleaning in our shop first.) I98 Yonge Street N., Richmond Hill Let's start with those winter blankets. I hope by now you have them safely moth~prooted and tucked away in a dry, moth-free cupboard. (Notice how I subtley avoided saying that they’ll be a whole lot safer if you let us dry clean and moth-proof them for you!) Are your furs taken care of, Let's put it this way: There's no need for you even to inquire about our low cost summer fur stor- age plan as long as you just happen to have a storage vault that’s as moth-proof. fire-proof. mildew-proof, dust-proof and everything else-nasty-proof as ours.. ' See what even a mild touch of spring fever can do? If this keeps up, I might just lose ,control completely in my next column and start telling you it's cheaper to let .all your clothes deteriorate in a single season than to pay a few pennies per garment for the best dry cleaning service in town! But riot today. I’m feeling lazy. So here's some work for YOU to do: It must be spring fever!

BARTB 210’ LOT ‘lIYnllfillfifimllâ€"HWIH I’Umor 4-44" There is no place as gay as a French-Canadian maple sugar bush. The high school boys and girls come down to help on Sat- urdays. Their cheery shouts, to- gether with the tinkling of the sleigh bells echo and re-echo through the woods as they rush to and fro emptying the sap buck- ets. In the distance a pileated woodpecker can be seen flying and the sea-gulls are calling as they soar above the tree-tops. Lunch-time comes so quickly. Some eat outdoors in the brilliant sunshine while others stay in the steam-filled sugar camp. Their favourite drink is the medium- cooked syrup. They take half a dipper-full of the steaming hot liquid, cool it on the snow and drink it as quickly as if it were water. Suddenly there is a shout that another "batch" is fin- ished and everyone comes and watches the amber syrup being “canned”. There is even more popping in and out when, later in the day. some of the syrup has been transferred to a kettle and boiled on a cook stove for maple tafl‘y. It takes an experienced cook to decide just when the By Richmond Hill Naturalists The April meeting of the club which has been postponed to Ap- ril 22 will feature movie night. “Between the Tides" is being shown by request because it re- ceived such enthusiastic response at the annual ' meeting of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. “Wildlife and the Human Touch" is a very recent conservation pic- ture. "Springtime Harvest" is of particular interest because part of this movie was photographed on the farm of Amos Baker. The remaining part was taken at La- fontaine in and around the maple sugar camp owned by the Maur- ice brothers. Dr. Williams said vocational or composite schools are expensive to build and expensive to keep up. “We have to have 1,200 stud- ents attending to make such schools a possibility. Our Board feels it is not economically fea- sible at the present time to erect a vocational school”. The present Aurora High School will accommodate 910 puâ€" pils. With an increase of 70 from Lake Wilcox .area for this Sep- tember the Board has already made arrangements with Stoufi- ville District High School to acâ€" commodate these students. The other alternative, portables, would have cost the ratepayers approxi- mately $50,000, he said, ' The chairman of the King- Aurora High School Board, Dr. G. L. Williams, rose to say, “I don’t altogether agree with you”. Reeve Davis said, “That is often the case, although Dr. Williams has been my doctor all my life”. Dr. Williams continued -saying, “The townspeople of Aurora are against the change. The Board is quite in agreement with the pres- ent high school board staying as it is â€" and would be opposed to any changes." Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean criticized Aurora for wishing to withdraw saying, “52% of the costs of Aurora High School is carried by King. It doesn’t look as if Aurora is playing cricket. We have to make a recommenda- tion on this to County Council and make it stick”. The deputy-reeve of Markham Township agreed 'that too much money was being “Inspector Johnson said, "20 years ago. in Toronto”. Chairman Stewart Rumble of the York Central Board. speaking to the question of dissolution of present high school boards said, “Size alone doesn’t do any harm to a board, we represent the mun- icipalities of Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill and Woodbridge. We haven’t had any great difi‘i- culty and I have been on the board for the past five years.” During those years. he said en- rollment in the high schools in‘ his area had increased from 1.093 students to 1,800. but as the en- rollment increased the cost per pupil per day dropped consider- ably. In 1956 cost per student in high school was $3.15 per day, in 1959 cost per day was only $1.18. "We feel we are providing our students with a good quality of education and we feel that we would like to continue as we are”. Reeve Davis of Aurora said his council did not wish to continue in the district school area. “We feel Aurora does not want to con- tribute to the new King high school, because no students will be attending from Aurora.” Coun- cil would rather supply a vocat- ional school in their area. he said. which could relieve the need for one for the county. (Note: Any high school student who passes his Grade 10 examin- ations may then apply to attend a Vocational School in Metro.) Mr. Rumble concluded by stat- ing the possibility of one or two area boards for the entire county could “be before County Council for a few years, bgfore any ac- tion was taken”. King-Aurora “I think there is a great need for technical and commercial ed- ucation for our children," Mr. Hallman continued. “Such schools would mean a large expenditure of money â€" that is why I think we should take a good look be- fore establishing them in the County." A trustee then asked, when was the last complete Voca- fional School buflt in the prov- ince. (Continued from page 1) in Secondary Schools is 4,556. I think I share the opinion of my colleagues that we feel very strongly that there should be provision for special classes.” Committee On Nature Notes NORTH YORK â€" “Metro assess- men people should look for new sources of revenue," said Coun- cillor Fred Young at a recent meeting. He said that one of the best sources of increased assess- ment was on land held by spec- ulators. Any assessment increase on speculative land would be of no value during the current year, but action should be taken to give the 1961 budget the increas- ed lift this land could produce. Increased taxes on speculative land may make it less attractive for some types of lnvestom, he pointed out. bubbles are bubbling right for the final stage. There is a call for each one to get a fork as they follow the cook to a nearby clean patch of snow. It is drizzled on the snow and immediately solidi- fies. Nothing is quite so delicious as this tafiy with snow crystals rolled up inside. Such vast quan- tities are'eaten! The final fun is a big chase. Each one “blacks” their finger tips on any nearby pans and tries to see how many faces they can blacken. Possibly it is a good way to work off some of the effects from over-eating! Further bird arrivals are fox sparrow, red-shouldered hawk, and Marsh hawk, the female red- winged blackbirds, phoebe, sav- annah sparrow, green-winged teale and numerous sparrow hawks. The main influx of robins hasn't yet arrived. There will be a field trip on Good Friday morning. meeting at the town hall, Yonge and Wright Sts., at 8 am. Since the walking is apt to be muddy wear rubber boots. It will mostly be a roadside trip in our immediate vicinity. Concluding the session, Depu- ty-reeve Dean said, “We apprec- ‘iate your attendance at this meet- ing -â€" I still say that the trustees know more about education than the councils of this county â€" and they are specialists.’ Sutton's reeve still maintained Sutton high school should be on its own, stating, “We don’t exâ€"i pect growth to hit Sutton for 10‘ years". and implied they still1 did not wish to share the costs of schools. Chairman Wagg said the Education Committee has yet to! present its findings to County; Council as a whole and then call- l ed for a vote. It was at this point that Trus- tee Axelson called for a vote on status quo, and Ree’ve Haggart’s recommendation of further dis- cussion between separate high school boards was accepted with full approval. A letter will be sent to the various district high school boards, and their answers will be considered before the Education Committee presents its findings to county council as a whole. Reeve Davis said the purpose of the meeting was to provide the Education Committee with mat- erial for forming a recommenda- tion to county council. “where 27 members will deal with the ques- tion. County council should not be asked to vote on something that has not yet been dealt with by a committee such as this." Reeve Davis: “I feel if it Is a whole-hearted decision, we should not do away with any school board boundary in the county, I will whole-heartedly go along with it." "This year." the warden stated, “$3,000,000 worth of debentures will have to be raised by county council. It is a big load for any high school board to have to raise large sums. I have always thought it was better for county council to issue them." Warden Clark said they have already sold $2,- 853,000 worth of debentures, at 98.4. “I think we have saved the municipalities a great deal by is- suing them, the county’s credit rating is much higher than any one municipality’s.” Warden Clark: "I wouldn’t want the members to leave this meet- ing with the Education Commit- tee recommending any change â€" this is specifically a fact finding meeting. The other thing I would Him to mention is the fact that this year we have changed back to .thehcountyissping debentures.” in the York Central area”, he continued, “because expenses are lower. Parents and teachers have closer contact in smaller school sections. When we have students who‘wlsh to attend a vocational school we send them to the near- est one outside the county:" He met with applause when he said, “We have the nicest high school area in the township," he said em- phatically, just leave us alone!" “The: tax Fate Markham District is 5 or 6 mills lower than Mr. Frank Burkholder, chair- man of Markham Village High School Board was told some years ago it was too small, “So we join- ed Stoufl‘ville. Markham and Stoufiville split in 1953 and five have never been happier." Mark- ham Village has 600 students at- tending its high school. In conclusion he stated, "We don’t want to separate one area from another if the district board doesn’t want it", and he pleaded to the trustees, “Please express yourselves tonight.” spent on children who were not academically inclined. Present industrial courses given in many high schools “are nothing more than hobby courses”, he said. He advocated composite schools for children who did not wish to re- main in high schools for academ- ic achievements. “We are forcing pupils to stay in school until they are 16 â€" and we don't want our teachers to be baby-sitters."

Dr. Daoust says . . “This may be tremendously sig- nificant or it may be incidental. In other words it may be closely associated with the change to cancer or it may be just a result of it.” If it is closely associated then there is always the possibility that restoration of the DNAase activity may retard the cancer development. Why? And what ’a'6駓f£ signi- fy? First, during the stage just be- fore the appearance of cancer cells . . . called the precancer- ous stage . . . the DNA activity is higher than normal. Then, as the cancer develops, the activity drops away below normal. While doing research at the Chester Beatty Research Insti- tute of the Royal Cancer Hospi. tal. London, England, under a N.C.I. Fellowship, Dr. Daoust de- veloped a histo-chemical method of studying the DNA activity in cells, and by applying it has dis- covered some highly significant things about the liver cells of the azo-dye fed rats. By feeding rats a cancer-calfs- ing chemical called azo-dye it is possible to induce cancer of the liver. By examining the liver cells before and during the actual development of cancer the inves- tigators are able to observe the differences in enzyme and acid activity. For some time at the Montreal Cancer Institute experiments re- lated to the changes in normal cells when they become cancer- ous have been carried on ,under Dr. Antonio Cantero. Director of the research laboratories. The acid is desoxyribose nucleic acid. or DNA for short, and it is found in the chromosomes of all human cells. Chromosomes, in turn are the tiny particles found in the nucleus or central body of the cell: they contain the genes which hold the answer to inher- ited characteristics. At the Montreal Cancer Insti- tute in the Notre Dame Hospital, Dr. Roger Daoust, a research as- sociate of the National Cancer Institute of Canada, is working on the possibility that cancer growth may be prevented by reâ€" storing the action of an essential acid activity in the cell.
