The toll-free telephone servicewhich Is optional, applies only on calls made from Richmond Hill to Toronto, and not on calls made from Toronto to Richmond Hill. Work is well underway to pro- vide some 500 Richmong Hill tele- phone customers with one-way toll-free calling to telephones in the Toronto core exchanges, W. C. Barnes, Bell Teleph‘one manager for the territory announced this week. Special dial switching equip- ment must be connected to the lines of each customer who has agreed to take this service.

WAlnut, HUdson. HOward. GArâ€" den. ROger. RUsscll, OXford. UNiversity and LEnnox tele- phones. All TUmer 4 customers will continue to have two-way toll-free calling with Thornhill. Maple, Oak Ridges and King. under the Company's Extended Area Service plan which provides free calling between neighbour- ing exchanges where desired by the majority of customers in both exchanges. Mr. Barnes explained that Richmond Hill customers are the first to be ofiered such a service in the Toronto Area because it has iongnbeen known that many of them wished to have local service with Toronto core cus- tomers. New rates will apply in those cases where the optional toll- free service is installed They will be as follows Individual Re- sidence Line, $10.50; Business This follows a survey by the Bell Telephone Company of Can- ada in which about 10 per cent of the TUrner 4 telephone cus- tomers in Richmond Hill express- ed the desire for such a service to eliminate the present long dis- tance charges to Toronto.

The government provides no grant for supplementary reading material. It is almost hopeless to try and pick out a good collec- tion of books with the money Once a month 20 books per classroom are brought into the schools by Mrs. Israel. These books are for recreational reading only and it is most difficult for a teacher to distribute 20 books to a class of 44 pupils. Some must always go without. Mr. Israel then spoke inform- ing the meeting that the above service has been carried on through the courtesy of the school board. The cost of this service to the school and ap- proximately 2500 children, has been born by the Library Board and the amount of extra books purchased and administrative costs arising from this project, have been a strain on the library budget. It is the hope of the library to be able to put one book per child in each classroom in 1961, but this project may not be able to continue if there is a decrease in ithe Library Budget. In the United States in a school of 200 pupils, the recommended minimum number ofibooks for a school library is 6000. Richmond Hill Public Library has 6075 to do the entire community. _ ‘ Mrs. Israel told of conditions of school libraries across Canada. Some provinces have‘Librarians in the schools where the children may go and study after school and seek assistance with school projects. In Ontario it is the duty of the school to have a Library. This only means they must have a collection of books. There is no grant from the government for a special room to be used as a Library. In the rural areas the situation is appalling. Each school in Richmond Hill has a small collection of books. These are excellent for their size but are terribly inadequate when considering the number of pupils serviced. Just recently, Mr. Israel attend- ed a special meeting, held to as- sess the possibilities of a York County Library Board. There are 14 voting municipalities in the County and 75% of these would have to agree to finance the Lib- rary Board. PLEASANTVILLE 'N" HOME 8: SCHOOL On Wednesday, November 28th, Pleasantville Home & School As- sociation was pleased to 'have as its guest speakers, Mr. and Mrs. «Fred Israel, Librarians from the Richmond Hill Public Library. Richmond Hill Public Library is supplementing the school class- rooms with books. The phrases, “public apathy" “too much money," and "we are getting soft" were heard so fre- quently during the discussion that Mr. MacDiarmid concluded by saying that the reluctance of so many people to be leaders was a real threat to our democracy, because too many are willing to 'be led. Mrs. Israel spoke first on their topic, “Are We Banning Books To Our Children.” She informed the meeting that many children in the district have no encycloped- ia’s or books of learning, or just good reading books at home. How often do we think to give our children books for Christmas? At the present time less than 50% of the municipalities are being serviced. It is hoped that the formation of a County Li- vbrary would reach such places as In the best groups, be it church, home and school. town councils, social clubs. or service clubs, lea- dership is best when it is shared among the members and not held jealously by one person. Lead- ership may move from one mem- ber to another during a discus- sion. Mr. MaIcDiarmid remarked that discussion should always lead to action, so that when a group have determined what is best for them they can work together on a project. Otherwise interest will die out. 7 r_ The December general meeting of the York-Simcoe Home and School Council was held Thurs- day evening, December 1, at the George Bailey Public School in Maple. Mr. Garnet MacDiarmid, who led forty home and school members in a leadership train- ing course earlier this fall. con- tinued consideration of the sub- ject. Different types of leader- ship were discus'sed, and their ef- fects on a group. The home and school president who is too busy to make a telephone call was contrasted with one whoe en- thusiasm led her to tal with many people and win their sup- port for the association. There are also people who will offer to do something in order to be noticed but do not do what they promised. Some want posi- tion in order to exert authority regardless of whether their aims are best for the whole group. But some are genuinely, dedicated and unselfish people. Often those who could exert a wholesome influ- ence fail to do so because they are shy about speaking up. ‘As group members we need to prac- tise charity and encourage those who have a retiring nature. vycucu u ' It was frequently remarked that the anm people are too busy, but this is Gladys F because too few people in the community assume respoflsibility. 2:3; R When they do they are overwork then anm ed.
