We realize Yonge St. parking is at a premium, with all the lovely shops that line both sides of the street but nevertheless would like to make a suggestion. Why not dispense with parking spots one car length each side of en- trances to off street parking areas, so cars could swing off or onto Yonge Street more readily. We are sure more people would use these off-street free parking lots if they didn’t have to man- ouver to get. out of traific es- pecially women motorists “like you know who."

Public school assessment in Richmond Hill runs to $25,062,072.00 for 1960. Trustee Harold Sanderson commented at last Thurs- day’s boardmeeting when the budget was adopted, “We won’t have too much argument from town council in View of the fact we are going up only 1.62 mills over last year. There aren’t many boards that can do better than that.” The mill rate for 1960 is 18.77 mills, for 1959 it was 17.19 mills, and for 1958 16.90 mills. - Chairman L. D. Clement pointed out the average daily attendance will be about 2,675 pupils, ‘and it will cost ap- proximately $295.00 to educate a public school child in Richmond Hill. Last year the cost was $283.00 per pupil. The Metro public school pupil in 1958 was educated for $47.00 per year, said Chairman Clement. Richmond Hill Public School expenses will bring the mill rate up 1.62 mills this year or to 18.77 mills. Rate- payers will pay $484,334.68 of an estimated total expendi- ture of $794,101.79. The estimated provincial grant will be $297,218.01; the 1959 surplus was $6,409.10; the estim- ated supplementary assessment will be $5,000.00; and tuition fees will probably be $1,500.00.

Rams Juvenile Hockey Champions The main project this year will be the erection of a new service building and garage on Sneddon Road next to the town’s new water treatment plant. The'necessary land for the building was purchased last year from the Bedford Park Floral Company. The provincial commission has sanctioned erection of the building and the local engineer- ing firm of Hisey and Barrington is busy preparing the necessary plans. The 850,000.00 debenture issue will be used to cover the cost of erecting this building. At present the commission rents garage and storage space in, the town garages located on Wright Street. The local utility has gone through a period of rapid growth during the past four years.

SCARBORO â€" A $1,000,000 dis In accounting for this pheno- menal achievement in such a short period of time, Mr. Cameron paid special tribute to such men as Dr. Charles Cur- relly whose one desire was to build a great museum for Can- ada. Mr. Cameron described him as aggressive, chance- tak- ing, charming, a scholar and a great Canadian. It was he who was responsible for assembling the museum’s famous Chinese collectionâ€"the most extensive in the Free World. A Polaroid Draw Will Be May 7th The museum has experienced a renaissance with the appoint- ment of Theodore Heinrich. its present director. Under his direction, a continuous program has been organized of special ex- hibitions, lectures, films, etc. The special exhibitions are shows of international import- ance organized in Canada by Canadiansâ€"an exciting new de- velopment in this country. Mr. Cameron pointed out that any- one who wishes to be put on the mailing list for the museum's calendar of events may do so by writing to him in care of the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. The speaker gave a brief outline of the history of the museum frOm the time of its opening in 1912 to the pres- ent day. It was started by a group of young, enthusiastic men â€"- some of them young scholarsâ€" who saw the great need for a museum in the first decade of this century. Now 48 years old, it is recognized around the world as one of the important museums. Duncan Cameron of the Royal Ontario Museum provid- ed members of York County University Women’s Club with one of their most interesting meetings to date when he ad- dressed their March meeting in Kingcraft House, King City. Mr. Cameron who is eminently qualified, through his wide experience with newspapers, radio and television, for his work as Chief Information Officer for the Museum, was introduced to his audience by Mrs. Ernest Redelmeier of Richmond Hill. 48 Year History Royal Ontario Museum Among World's Finest May 2| Fair Day Hunters and jumpers will compete in the largest show of its kind in this area. ‘ And here’s a note to the ladies â€"- the annual Horse- Shoe Pitching Contest for local and open trophies will also be held â€" and girls, no woman has ever competed in it yet,_though they may do so if they wish.

It will be the club’s annual meet- ing and election of officers. and an interesting program has been arranged. All members are urg- ed to attend this important meeting. Mrs. J. L. Forster of King thanked Mr. Cameron and pre- sented him with a silver spoon by Douglas Boyd of Richmond Hill. The museum is not only a mass medium. however, it is also what Mr. Cameron likes to de- scribe as a "private club." Its membership consists of interest- ed and aware laymenâ€"collec- tors, benefactors, people who support and believe in the work the museum is doing. They sup- port the museum among their friends, in the community, give up free time to work at the museum relieving the staff. They have taken on some of the re- sponsibility for the growth of the museum in Toronto. The “private club” is working with the museum staff and board to maintain and build a new kind of mass medium, “the discovery of which," in the words of Mr. Cameron, “is going to be as ex- citing to the private club as tele- vision has been to industry.” Mr. Cameron listed the three functions of a museum; to act as a special kind of a storehouse where records of man’s past are preserved and cared for so they will be available for examination and study; to study the materials and pry from them new knowl- edge about man‘s story; and to communicate this knowledge to others.
