Part of it went to support the schools of the community. 'Part of it went to help support local religious and other institutions for the betterment of the community. Another part of it went to pay local taxes, often on both business and home property, helping to pay for roads and lights, police and fire protection and other civic services. When you stop to fig- ure it out, a great many bites were tak- en out of that dollar. Part of it helped to provide employment for local people.

Motors ’ Chef Constable Robert P. Rob- bins complains that an increas- ing number of occurrences in- volving children damaging priv-l ate property indicates a consider-‘ able lack of respect in many children for other people’s propâ€" erty. The police chief would wel- come co-operation of parents, schools and churches and all oth- er bodies associated in any way with the training or teaching of children and young folk, to incul- cate in them the good old adage, “Treat other people’s property with the same respect you would treat your own" and “don’t touch or damage what does not belong to you”. An accident occurred when a 13-year-old cyclist, Peter Gates, collided with an automobile on April 27 at the junction of Sus- sex Avenue and Markham Road by the Walter Scott School. Peter fortunately sustained only minor injuries. The driver of the car was Cedric Ingleton of Aurora. No charges were brought against either party but Police Chief Robbins warns parents to give their children instruction in safety and the taking of all pos- sible precaution on the roads, particularly when they are oper- ating cycles. The Chief Constable says that the frequency of such occurrences indicates that too many children are receiving too little training in normal safety precautions in which parents, children and all road users should co-operate. Reeve James Haggart said on Tuesday that the Ward System for local elections could only be introduced following a plebiscite before the next election. or the plebiscite could be taken as part of the next election. York Central District High School Board will meet Mon- day evening. May 9th, in the Richmond Hill High School Library at eight o’clock. The regular monthly meetings of the board are rotated be- tween the three high schools at Thornhili, Woodbridge, and Richmond Hill. Ratepay- ers, especially those with young people attending the various schools, are welcom- ed and urged to attend a meeting when it is held in their community. High School Rd. Meets Monday [go/ice Well/d RICHMOND HILL AV. 5-3338 WARD SYSTEM TU. 4-2819 Concluding the amicable dis- cussion the reeve said, “I think we can see the problem,” and Chairman Parker said he will suggest the township school area board take another look at the question, “because we will, in time, need additional accommo~ dation and we should see if there are other answers to it. But,” he concluded determinedly, “I can Reeve Clark told the trustees; “Don’t think council is dictating to youâ€"but it may be possible to get a site away from a commer- cial-industrial area. There are 200 acres north of the jail farm (the southern portion of the jail farm is planned commercial, with the extreme south 75 acres already committed to the Depart- ment of Highways for the new through highway) where there could be a site for a north school.” Need Accommodation Now The deputy-reeve then thankâ€" ed the trustees for coming out to the discussion with council and said, “We have no right to' die- tate to you in any way, shape or form, nor do we want to. We just want to pass along any in- formation we feel you may be in- terested in.” “We are endeavouring to give the best education, at the cheap- est' price to the taxpayer, Chair- man Parker stated, “we thought in planning an addition to Thornlea School we would be providing accommodation at the cheapest price possible.” Mr. Parker then pointed out that there is a certain amount of emergency in providing school accommodationâ€":“we cannot go out on a limb for a school on that site yet.” Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean’s question as to how many children attend school at Thornlea was answered by Mr. Sand who said there would be 200 this fall from the immediate vicinity. ‘There will also be 10 Grade '7 and 8 pupils coming into the school area from Head- ford School and they have to be accommodated. Last week council had noted that the former area board had refused a site for a school in the Selkirk subdivision, and Mr. Parker read a letter from school board files to answer this state- ment. It appeared that instead of the school board taking the initiative in dropping the site, they had been requested by the Selkirk Development to “Drop the site of a school there." Reeve Clark: Mést of the land shown east of Bayview is still zoned agricultural. Looking into thefuture, Mr. Parker said, we can’t see that the Thornlea School would ever be- come a handicap to the area. Rather it might, at some future date, be used for administration offices for the school board and a centre for the teaching of home economics, industrial arts, etc., for which use location wouldn’t matter. “The area around Thorn- lea School is being thrown into commercial,” he continued, “but we still have a number of homes in the area to take care of, both north and south of the highway.” Trustee Frost asked if a mercial bylaw had actually passed and how far did the mercial zone extend east north of No. 7 Highway. Deput&-reeve Dean: The tend- ency is industgial-commercial de- velopment on Bayview north of N o. 7. .Mr. Parker then pointed out that if they scrapped the Thorn- lea School they could not replace 'it at the same low cost. ‘The land cost $9,400 when bought,” he said, “today’s price for the land would be close to $35,000 in that area. It would cost $14 per square foot to build another school today, but when Thornlea was built it cost only $11.46 per square foot.” Thornlea N o Handicap Mr. Parker said the board has already exceeded its limit‘as far as ‘portable accommodation is concerned and if the addition is not made to Thornlea more port- ables would have to be purchas- ed to fill accommodation needs. There is also a need for more classrooms in the south end of the school area, he said. and if the addition is made to the Thornlea school, the two port- ables there now could be moved south. “You people say, ‘scrap it’, but we don‘t like building a four-room school. Eventually we hope to put a six to eight-room school on a new site, but just at the moment don’t think we should build a new schoolfi’ Chairman Parker said, “It is a question of providing school ac- commodation for the children now in the area of the Thornlea School, where two portables are already in use. The Henderson Avenue area,” Mr. Parker said, "will have more children ready for school in September and we will have to provide portable ac- commodation.“ l Reeve William Clark thanked the members for their coâ€"operation in attending and remarked, “It was suggest- ed in council last week you may not have all the inform- ation about proposed development in the area concerned, and that it might be better to build a new school on an- other site, rather than make an addition to the Thornlea School, which is expected to be in a growing commercial- industrial section.” 1 Four of the five board members of Township School Area No. 1 Markham; Chairman Allan G. Parker, John MacKay, Lionel Frost and John Honsberger and Business Administrator, Mr. E. J. Sand met with Markham Town- shipCouncil at the regular weekly session of council Mon- day afternoon, to discuss an addition to Thornlea Public School on Bayview Avenue. T.S.A.V 1 Markham Township Council. Discuss Schools No Dead-End Streets com- been com: and Council is not unmindful of the need for play areas in the vicinity of the school. Council approved the expenditure of $22,500 for six acres of play- grounds, connected with the play area of Woodland School, for a park site. Building Reportâ€"April Breakdown was as follows: Dwelling $91,000; Acces s o r y Building $2,100; Industrial and Commercial $121,500; Public Building, an addition to 5.5. No. 13, $23,000. Richvale Residents . Council acknowledge a letter from Richvale residents, and will reply by letter. Mr. Briggs said he had talked to the deputy-reeve and a coun- cillor the night before appear- ing before council, “And nobody took the trouble to tell me it was a lost cause, that plans for the extension of these streets had been approved last Friday.” Park For Henderson Area 30 permits, at a total value of $237,600, were issued by the township building department during April. Most of the build- ing permits were for work in Concession 1 of the township, in- cluding addition and renovations costing $9,000 to the Summit Golf and Country Clubhouse, .and a $10,000 warehouse for a construction company. ' Concluding the discourse the reeve stated, “I’ve had experi- ence enough with dead-end streets. I don’t think safety enters into the picture. If you close off one street you increase the danger for children else- where.” When Mr. Briggs accused council of cloak and dagger methods, the Reeve chided him, saying, “It’s no cloak and dagger matter, Planning feels this is the best solution.” The reeve ad- vised the delegation that recom- mendations to protect as many trees as possible and to provide three 33-foot parkett‘e strips had been made to the subdivider. Councillor John MacNeil said he didn’t like to see the trees cut down and advised the ratepayers to go to the subdivider and ask him to leave the trees there. He also upheld the Planning Board’s decision to put through streets in the area. ‘ Reeve Clark: "We are trying to clean up Johnson, Elgin and Henderson problems. You peo- ple expect your roads ploughed out 'in the winter and ploughing equipment has had to go in, plough, then turn around and go out a dead end street to reach another street.” Mr. Briggs said, “That’s simple enough, they could turn in one of the drive- ways.” The reeve said that was no good. Reeve Clark said, “We are trying to eliminate dead-end streets. If we did not open Hen- derson to the north, we would be putting traffic problems on someone else’s doorstep. Do you want a play area at the town- ship’s expense?” The reeve then stated that the Planning Board has to co-ordinate the township as a whole. “We can’t put a fence around one street in the township and say no one can enter.” Mr. Briggs said the ratepayers (involved are three home own- ers) are up in arms over the pro- posed through road. “Anyone who quotes Metro -P1anning Board to me will be told they (Metro) are only. going on re- commendation of your Planning Board.” The second delegation of the afternoon was comprised of Messrs. R. Briggs, Reeves and Hayes, who represented three‘ residential lots on Henderson avenue and were,concerned/ with the extension of three present dead-end streets in the area of Woodland Public School. The delegation took over an hour of council’s time asked that Ken- derson remain closed, to main- tain safety of their children and to save 40 trees. Mr. Briggs berated the reeve and council saying “we got a shock when we found out the roads were to go through school.” never see the possibility of dis- carding Thornlea School.” Delegation On Parkette on the official board for many years.

It was film night at the Walter Scott Home & School meeting last Thursday evening and three films were shown. ‘From Sociable Six to Noisy Nine” held interest for everyone in showing the prob- lems of the Arden Family in dealing with messy rooms, fist fights, lying, stealing, tattling, etc. In the film, the parents en- joy their children and accept them as such and not just small adults. Recognizing the rights of each child according to his age and respecting them fostered an affectionate family relationship. A family trip to the Museum and a baseball game on the front laWn was fun for all. “Can We Immunize Against Prejudice" and “Learn to Swim" â€" a demonstration of the basic swimming strokes â€" were the other films shown., Planning for thq’ Fall Fair has already begun and it was decided that this will be a day for the children and will include a Field Day with prize ribbons being presented to successful conten- ders. There will be no adult class- es this year. A gang of six culprits, rangâ€" ing in age from 17 to 25 years, all male were picked up and charged with breaking and en- tering by‘ Markham Township Police, after two officers in a township police cruiser had spied a parked car outside a doctor's officer in Unionville and discov- ered a break in. It was announced that Mr. How- ard Eubank. who will be the Principal of the new Bayview High School, will be guest speak- er at the May meeting. Mr. Eu- bank will speak about the new school, his teaching staff and op- tions for pupils entering Grade Nine. A pleasant social period fol- lowed. The arrest of the six boys and men, cleared up five other break and entries. Five of those charg~ ed have been convicted, one has been sent down for six months, the others come up for sentence next Monday, and one has yet to be sentenced. Among the break- ins were listed tWo schools, Mar- kham District High School, where they broke open a pay ‘phone for the money deposited; and the theft of a portable organ from the Separate School on No. 7 1 Highway.
