8 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill Brief Retirement Having "enjoyed' a brief re- tirement of less than ten days over the recent holidays, we somehow came to the conclusion that there were “some” readers who looked forward to news of Maple” Indeed, it was most gratifying -â€"- HOWEVER, you are the ones that make the news so how about letting us in on it sometimes? Pick up your phone when you have news of a birthday (the small fry get a kick out of see- ing their name in print); if you know of some one who is ill. maybe we can send along a cheery word from their neighbours. when you or your friends enjoy a special get-together. concert, take an interesting trip, or hear tell of someone's special achieve- ment â€" it all goes to make up Maple Notes. Without YOU con- tributing it makes for rough go- ing . . . and no ‘notes’. Incidentally, we met a recent Bloom, who is the mother of five 'buds' (ow). She is but one of the many new residents of Maple â€" be sure you do your part to make them feel welcome to our community. A Double Celebration Having enjoyed all the hectic holiday celebrations at the homes of many of their neighbors, Ernie and Aileen Birch waited for an appropriate time â€" when every- one had a chance to catch their breath -â€" then they had their party, This really was THE time for the Blrchs to celebrate. Besides their enjoyment of their new home and neighbors. Ernie was now able to go back to work fol- lowing a five week illness and that was surely a good reason for celebrating.

The TESTON newly installed officers A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE somuchapartof’fil In Maple's Traffic Court Jan~ uary 11, Magistrate Robert Hirtle went along with the crown in the case of a Toronto man, Bob Sul- livan, who had been charged by Vaughan Township Police with failing to report an accident. and imposed the minimum fine. Sul- llvan could have had his driver's licence and owner‘s permit sus- pended which because of his trucking profession would have constituted a severe blow. Police said that the Sullivan car, badly damaged. was found in a field on the morning of De- cember 23, following a report by the OPP. The car had jumped the road, travelled along a ditch and ploughed into the field after a skidding, lurching run of ab- out twoâ€"tenths of a mile, and ab- andoned. Damage to the car was estimated at $1,000. A telephone pole had been smacked by the vehicle. Accused said: "I work out of Maple for a tank truck transport firm and was driving home to Toronto when a stray dog showed up in my headlights. I twisted the wheel to avoid hitting the animal and lost control of my car. The shoulder of the road was rutted and icy. I took quite a bump on the head and a passcrby helped me out of the vehicle and took me home where I went to bed. still in a dazed condition. I never thought to call the doctor or re- port to the police. In the morn- ing the police contacted me." Magistrate Hirtle said severely; ‘Didn't you have the common sense to call a doctor?" Accused replied: “I spent two years in hospitals once and just don’t like them.” Said the magistrate: “Which do you think is better, a soft warm hospital bed or a cold slab?" Sullivan admitted the hospital was preferable. At this point the crown said that in view of the circumstances, and because accused was mar- ried, with three children. and needed his driver's licence to earnthis living it would be satis- fied with a mild penalty. “$10 and $3 costs or four days,” said the magistrate. Sullivan wrote tout a cheque, murmured a defer- ‘ential “thank you" and left. .Honestly Tried Court Shows Clemency Imposes Modest Fine A Beeton man, William Wat- son, charged by Vaughan Town- ship Police with speeding 60 miles an hour in the 45-mile zone between Richvale and Richmond Hill, pleaded not guilty, put up' a spirited defense, but lost out and paid $10 and $1.50 costs. Wat- son who was stopped on the high- way on December last felt (1) that he honestly didn’t think he was travelling to fast (2) that there could have been something the matter with (a) the police cruiser’s speedometer or (b) his own; (3) that the icy conditions could have had a negative influ- ence on the mechanics of the speedometer and (4) that it was possible the police cruiser’s spee- Meet the car that’s so much a part of ’61.

Clinic Cases Three speeding cases involving as many young persons who had previously been found guilty by Magistrate P. Kelley and ordered to report to the traffic court clinic were held over until March 1 for the magistrate (who is re- covering from an operation) to deal with. Magistrate Hirtle told Elizabeth Smith, a Toronto univ- ersity student who was stopped by King City Police for doing 62 miles an hour in a 30 mile zone and who failed to appear at the clinic: “This is a serious business. Failure to appear in the clinic may jeopardize your chance to continue driving." Paul Cheatam of king City was commended on the report the clinic had made out on his behalf while Gordon Etier, of King Township, who did not show up will be advised that a bench warrant has been taken out for him. 71f he fails to appeal a second time the warrant will be executed. By-law 2527, “to make and establish rules and regulations to govern the procedure of meetings of the Council of Vaughan Town- ship," formally moved and car- ried at the township‘s inaugural meeting on Monday, represents a new approach to an old problem. While it is a ‘first’ for Vaughan, a similar by-law is in affect in various municipalities in the county and beyond. The differ- ence between the standard byâ€" law of this nature and Vaughan's set of procedural rules is the fact that it is a composite by-law, with bits and pieces taken from other such by-laws .to fit the specific needs of Vaughan. It is designed to facilitate the work of council, to provide each committee chairman with all sides of a story and enable that committee chairman to bring in considered recommendations to council. In this way council will be fully armed; they will'know exactly what is coming up. At the same time it will in no sense out off delegations or arguments of interested parties. What It Does An illustration of what the by- law is intended to do is the fol- lowing hypothetical case. Mr. Doaks is convinced that he is being persecuted by the water- works department. Having duly “Maplre No'tes". I had to get my copy out on Monday nights ~â€" after that well, I just don‘t know. By Toby Shore Perhaps I‘ll never have the an- swer for why I have just never attended any township council meetings â€"â€" for sure that is. When we first moved to Maple and I was at least a little more agile, I bowled Monday nights. Follow- ing my original involvement with When January 9. 1961. came round and time for the “Inaug- ural” at Vaughan Township 0f- fices. I took off across the road to see what took place on just such an occasion. Upon entering (a wee bit late) I noted it looked like a full house with several standing ar- ound the lobby. Finding a vacant chair I was in seconds deeply in- terested in the procedure. The reeve, deputy-reeve and three council members seemed fairly relaxed behind their impreSSive council desk with their shiny new nameplates before then}. At a glance you could tell that this year something new had been added and everyone. but more especially the males, were saying. “Vive la difference"! By now you have no doubt guessed I’m speak- ing of Vaughan‘s first lady â€" Councillor Ruth McConkey. Not to take anything away from the immaculately attired male mem- bers, but because no doubt the gals of Maple, not in attendance, would be interested as always in the fashion angle â€"- here’s how our Councillor McConkey was attired: .m'fhâ€"enovrerall effect was like a herald of spring. Her dress was a twoâ€"piece style of silver-green simmered, stewed and brooded, he bursts in on council demand- ing his rights. His complaint is directed to the chairman of the waterworks committee who, in committee, studies both sides of the question, that of Mr. Doaks and the waterworks department personnel. Having reached a de- cision, the chairman (in this case Mrs. Ruth McConkey) sums up the case and makes her re- commendation. This is forwarded to the clerks office who adds it to the upcoming agenda. When council meets the members have all the facts at hand and can ei- ther accept or reject the recomo mendation. As a general rule the recommendations will be ac- cepted inasmuch as all members of council who sit on all com- mittees along with the chairman will have helped formulate the recommendation. It also means that each coun- cillor will have received a con- sidered report of the grievance several days in advance of the regular meeting. Formerly, a last-minute beef by an indiidual or group meant that council received only the one version which meant extra- curricular work for the commit- tee affected to secure the other side of the story. Thus. one part of the new by-law will obviate much time-consuming argument, debate and conjecture. The time saved will be put to good use carrying out other matters of township business. Clause 14 of the by-law states: “Prior to each regular meeting, the clerk shall prepare an agenda or statement to be known as ‘The Order of Business’ of all the bus- iness to be brought before the council at such meeting; and to enable the clerk to do so, all documents intended to be sub- mitted to the council shall be placed in his hands not later than 12 o’clock noon on Fri- ay preceding the regular meeting of the council, and the business of the council shall be preceeded with according to its place in the aforementioned orders.” Clause 15 states: “The reeve or the clerk may at any time prior to the preparation of the ‘Order of Business' refer any letter, inâ€" quiry, question, complaint or mat- ter to a standing or special com- mittee for a report or recomâ€" mendation but the council shall be advised accordingly of such reference at it’s next meeting.” In short the 40â€"c1ause byâ€"law will streamline the mechanics of committees, council procedure and will govern the time allowed for debate. with the over-all view of securing the maximum in work and fairness with a mini- mum of overlapping, friction and MARKHAM â€" The new ‘road block’ idea inaugurated by the Metro police. resulted in some 80 charges against as many drl- vers stopped in the Markham Village area during the one-week Christmas-New Year holiday. time Notice To Creditors AND OTHERS IN THE ESTATE OF Reginald Spragg Cooper, deceased.
