For the “community,” this club's largest contribution was perhaps the beautiful drapes for the stage at Maple Community Briefly here are some of the highlights in an Impressive list of projects, Maple Community and School Club has taken on and seen succped. On February 2, 1949, this club was organzed by community minded parents and residents of Maple who felt they could, if 01'- ganized, help supply some of the needs and equipment for the public school and the growing community. As a tribute to the Maple Com- munity and School Club, its or- ganizers and members, we would like to summarize the achieve- ments of this group during the past eleuen years.

Herbert Whittaker, Globe & Mail The George Bailey Home and School Association can and will grow Into an active successful organization only because of the foundation laid down and the inspiration passed on from the Maple Community and School Club.

Sports equipment, baseball backstop and other require- ments for baseball and play- ground equipment were also sup- plied.

With no doubt a touch of nostaliga. perhaps a hint of sadness and an enormous pride of achieve- ment, these same people now see their club terminated. Hall CONCERT R0. 7-4120 A letter was received from several ratepayers residing in Woodbridge asking permission for their children to attend Pine Grove School. This request was The Edgeley Farm Forum dis- cussed these questions at the home of .Mr. and Mrs. McConkey. They joined with other Ontario Forums in almost complete agree- ment that rural-urban misunder- standing was an important prob- lem. Less than 10 per cent of the groups were not sure that it was serious, but all agreed it existed and was a problem. A great many reasons why this misunderstand- ing constituted an important problem were given: many for- ums felt any lack of understand- ing was serious and that each group had problems which the other does not understand; even more thought it was important because urban dwellers do not realize farm production costs and all the problems and difficulties with which the farmers are faced. The Edgeley Forum stressed that the consumer must be fully informed regarding the farmers’ problems so that she may realize more fully the purpose of such consumer subsidies as Price Sup- ports, Deficiency Payments, etc., designed primarily to assist both producer and consumer. Want Better Understanding The main benefits that the for- ums thought might come from a better understanding would be less friction and more co-opera- tion between the two groups, leading to a better all around feeling in the country which In an effort to be able to move quickly when a need arises the board also unanimously appoint- ed the firm of Hanks. Irwin, and Pearson, architects, as official architects for the board. This is to take care of any necessary alterations, or additions, that arise as the new area is being welded. “The Consumer and the Farmer," was the topic that practically all Ontario Forums discussed enthusiastically recently. Only a handful expressed less than a lively in- terest in the subject. This broadcast was received almost as eagerly as spring when she arrived. Forums were asked to answer two questions. The first was a three part one: “Is Ruralâ€"Urban Misunderstanding an Import- ant Problem? Why? What Benefits Would You Gain Through Better Understanding? And second, How Should Farmers Individually and Through Their Organizations Try to Sell Their Story to Non-farmers? Better Public Relations The board agreed at its regu- lar meeting on Thursday evening in the Council Chambers at Maple to hire kindergarten teachers, as accommodation for classes for them to teach became available. Trustee Mrs. Ruth Hogg moved the motion, econd- ed by Trustee Mrs. Mona obert- son. There are several kinder- garten classes in the area at present but lack of space is caus- ing the new board to have to “make haste slowly” in creating the opportunity for all five-year- olds in the township to obtain this valuable pre-school training. Kindergartens ‘Consumer 8. The Farmer' ls ‘ Farm Forum Topic Later, in an interview, Chair- man Constable stated the board would be glad to meet with any ratepayers whose schools were overcrowded to discuss steps that could be taken to help the situation. Future planning for the schools in the township at pre- sent centres around alleviating overcrowding especially in grades seven and eight. It is ex- pected pupils in grades seven find eight who attend Vellore, urpleville and Bryson schools will be accommodated in some of the larger schools next Sep- tember. A meeting has been held between the board and the former trustees of the three sections to discuss future accom- modation needs. The consensus of opinion appeared to be a central school would be the solution. The Vaughan Township School Area Board is working in close connection with the Township Planning Board in an effort to obtain a map and a complete sur- vey of youngsters in the town- Ship with their location. This is considered essential for overall planning for next September. says Chairman Herbert A. Cons- table. Vaughan Twp.

Part Time WAITRESSES Also A MALE STEWARD Apply MANAGER= HELP WANTED some suggested might help to solve some of the other problems Canada faces. Of special benefit to farmers would be a realization on the part of consumers that it is in the best interests of all to assist agriculture to regain a heal- thy position in the economy by price supports, subsidies or other types of legislation. Most seemed to feel that if the urban people really understood the farmers’ problem they would change their outlook and support agriculture by buying more and by buying more wisely. Many Difi'erent Ways Mr. W. G. Rigler has been a part-time teacher of music for many of the school sections in Vaughan township for the last few years. He has had many winning entries in the various music festivals, and is well liked by both teachers and pupils. However, the board desires to Nearly a hundred difierent ways were suggested for farmers to try to tell, or sell their story to non-farmers, but practically all of them could be included in the category of improved public re- lations. Said the Edgeley Farm Forum, "Farmers by improving the appearance of their places, show their business ability." They were among many forums who suggested the use of the mass communication media â€" press, radio and T.V. were mentioned by many, including paid adver- tising. A great many suggested an exchange of ideas through invit- ing urban guests to meetings as speakers or by sending speakers to urban clubs and other gather- ings. Some even suggested ex- changing jobs! A delegation from the Thorn- haven School for'Retarded Chil- dren was present to ask Board for financial assistance. It was learned Vaughan township at present has three children get- ting the opportunity of attending this special school, but that out of a school population of 3,000 pupils approximately three per cent. would probably find the training at the school beneficial. The board agreed to discuss at a committee meeting the matter of financial aid before coming to a final decision which Chairman Constable said would not be de- layed in order that the school can accurately budget for the coming year. Mr. Hugh Martin, former music supervisor for T.S.A. No. 1, Markham and Vaughan, and now supervising music in the Vaughan section of the former area, is to be head of music for entire Vaughan area starting next September. Music Supervisor Delegations The board granted the fifth grade at George Bailey School permission to spend a day at a fur-trapping farm at Appsley at their own expense. Permission was also granted Charles Howitt Recreation Asso- ciation to hold playground activities and use the washrooms this summer at Richvale School. turned down by the board due to the fact the classes at Pine Grove are already at the thirty, and over mark. per classroom. No ’Cash In Schools Trustee Mrs. Robertson and Trustee Mrs. Hogg reiterated the board's firm stand of no cash being left in the schools with a motion to that affect and asked the secretary to write all the prin- cipals informing them of this decision, and asking their com- pliance. Break-ins are a serious threat, especially in some of the isolated schools, and it was felt if no money, including Red Cross contributions, was left around, it might deter petty thievery. Trustee Savage was question- ed concerning the water as Dr. King of the York County Health Unit had warned, according to press reports, the purity of well water in the township was en- dangered by the spring run-offs, and in many cases Dr. King ad- vocated boiling it if the quality was in any doubt. Some children have complained of the taste of the Carrville water lately. In answer to a question re- garding the purity of the water supply, a well at Carrville, Trustee Milton Savage said the water recently tested all right. Trustee Savage said he hoped to get the water piped into the school. Asked if it was intended to keep the school open as the attendance was so low, Mr. Sav- age answered, “We intend to fill it next fall." Three members of the Carr- ville Centennial Committee at- tended the meeting to ask for financial assistance in publishing a booklet about the school. They were chairman of the committee. Mr. John A. Baker, Mr. Ernest Bone, and Mrs. James Williams. The board will let the committee know their decision later. The film projector at George Bailey School is in for repairs and during discussion of the in- cident the board decided to ask the secretary, Mr. Norman Jack- man, to compile a list of the schools with projectors. Super- intendent Gibson commented that the provincial Department of Education appeared to favor film projectors for schools above other visual aids such as TV sets, etc. Mr. George DeWitt has been appointed to service all the projectors in the schools. Mr. DeWitt also supplies a projector and films to the schools without a projector. Carrville Centennial have a run time co-ordinator of music to brmg a full program to each school in a similar manner. In reply to a question by Trustee Mrs. Robertson. Super- intendent J. A. Gibson said, Hours for custodians have been established by the board. From Monday to Friday the hours will be 7.30 to 10.30 am. and from 12.00 to 5.00 p.m., on Saturdays the hours will be 8.00 am. to 12 noon. “The hiring 01' teachers for the area is well under control."
