Entrance was made through a French window into the Percival home where money was taken from a drawer. The Phelan home was entered by a side door and again money belonging to the Phelan children. contained in a piggy, bank. was lifted. The thieves got into the Briden home through the bathroom window. Here a gold engagement ring was stolen while a solid gold watch was ignored. Mrs. Briden said she thinks the marauders were frightened off before they could ransack the upstairs where there were several piggy banks con- taining a considerable sum of money. A dozen break-ins occurred in Vaughan and Markham Townships last Saturday night and early Sunday morning, with some money taken, a gold ring and a variety of service station goods. The break-ins included a half dozen homes in Thornhill, several telephone pay-booths in the Kleinberg area and a number of Richmond Hill and Vaughan Township service stations. The Thornhill residences broken into are the property of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Percival, Elgin Street; Mr. and Mrs. Leo Phelan, Dove Lane; Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Coleman, Elgin Street; Mr. and Mrs. George Leacock, Deanbank Road; Mr. and Mrs. M. Briden, Ida Street and the Fring home on Clarke Avenue. The BF Service Station at Steeles and Yonge; Shelton- Mansell Motors in The Hill and Martin’s White Rose: Sta- tion west of Woodbridge were entered while would-be thieves were scared off at Maple’s I.G.A. Store. Nothing was taken from the BP Station and Shelton-Mansell Motors. In both cases doors were forced. Martin’s Service Station lost a considerable quantity of goods. The thieves appeared to know what they wanted, for, with the exception of the thefts at Mar- tin's Service Station, they shied away flom anything which could not be disposed of readily by themselves ‘or a go-between.

[In many of the homes they entered they could see that the residences were those of young couples be- cause they could see baby cribs and children’s things about. But even these things had no efiect on them. They seem to be totally lacking in social conscience.

Said Deputy-reeve Jesse Bryson: “As matters stand draft plan approvals now involve about 3,000 lots. If these lots were allowed to develop it means the township would have to double its present number of schools and without indus- trial and commercial assessment to offset "the load on residential property owners we would be in trouble.” Said Councillor Wilfred Kefi‘er after the meeting: “Our decision will no doubt give rise to concern among various would-be developers but soul searching is the order of the day. Let’s not forget that this council was elected to deal with just this kind of situation.” First study will be given to four subdivision plans. They include Maple Glen, west of Maple. an 86-acre plot on which between 250-300 homes are projected; the Spring-Vaughan plan of subdivis- ion, parts of lots 27, 28 and 29, Concession I; the Stanwick plan, Concession 3 and the Bayg plan which covers 30 acres at the northeast corner of Can-ville Rd. at Bathurst. Council said these plans were considered in relation to the an- ticipated impact such develop- ment might have on the town- ship and: “It is recommended that council direct the staff to re- quest the Metro Toronto Plan- Ceiitral District and served from 1951 to 1955 as Assistant District Mrs. Thomas Jackson Well Known Thornhill Resident Dies Suddenly Her many friends in Tho‘rnhill, and especially the young people who had known her as a devoted Cubmaster, were shocked to hear of the sudden death last Friday, February 3rd, of Mrs. Thomas W. "Terry" Jackson. Mrs. Jack- son passed away while at the Richmond Hill Curling Club, of which she was a member. A resident of Thornhill since 1934, Mrs. Jackson was a popu- lar Cubmast‘er and the Cubs in her charge were just as devoted to her as she was to them. She became Cubmaster of the lst Thornhill Cub Pack in September 1947. From 1950 to 1951 she was District Cubmaster of the York “The specialized agencies of the United Nations organization do not make headlines because they are non-political, unlike the UN in New York," Dr. Hardy Hill told members of York County University Women’s Club at its meeting Monday night at King- craft House, King City.

It concerned the refusal of leave of absence to a town employee. “We were justified in what we did,-" assert- ed Reeve Perkins, saying that the reasons which had been quoted were incorrectly reported. A Other members of council join- ex-Reeve Perkins in expressing disapproval. “The reeve had ask- ed that this be kept private.” said Councillor Mrs. M. Soushwell. Councillor Broadhurst said that. in such cases, he was willing to take the word of the committee which investigated the request. ‘This was an embarrassment to the man concerned," said the mayor. pointing out that con- siderable unnecessary embarrass- ment had been caused to a town employee.

One of Ex- President Eisenhower’s last, acts as president was to grant an addi- tional $1,000,000 to UNESCO work in Africa, which is a tri- bute to the agency.” Dr. Hill told the group that the objectives of UNESCO were to eliminate prejudices in the minds of children and to pro- ‘mote understanding of the spir- it of national culture. The prin- ciple of human rights for all na- tions and peoples is stressed. In 1956 UNESCO had established or was associated with 40 schools in 20 countries, by 1960 there were 218 schools in 43 countries. Dr. Hill illustrated the work of the agencies with color slides. He was assisted by Mrs. Hill, who had accompanied him on the tour. Speaking of the Middle East, Dr. Hill said that there were 153,000 refugees in Tripoli, and more than half a million in Jor- dan. The United Nations Relief Association had replaced the tents in the camps of the first refugees with cement huts, and UNESCO has provided schools. Canada ranks third after the Un- ited States and Britain in sending wheat to the Middle East, he continued. The Food and Agricul- ture Association of the UN gives grants to responsible Arabs to help them become established, and has planted orchards on the Lebanese hills. The cost of administration of UNICEF is paid completely by the UN and all UNICEF funds that are collected go directly to the aid of children, stresSed Dr. Hill.

At that time final approval was subject to the go-ahead sign from Metro and the Ontario Wa- ter Resources Commission in re- lation' to a 120,000 gallon per day capacity disposal plant.

Objects To Decision When council explained t at it was withdrawing draft app ov- als of the last council until such time as the overall picture could be clarified to the satisfaction of the new council, dismay reg- istered on the faces of the dele- gation. In a tone of suppressed anguish Mr. Kenzie said: “My principals have been negotiating with former councils for almost seven years. The plan has been approved and held up. approved and held up, time and again. We have met every requirement. We have gone backward and forward and sideways in our efforts to please the township. When the Too Many Now, Is Claimâ€" Council Refuses Permit For Harding Gas Outlet Twenty property owners from the Harding Boulevard area went home happy from Richmond Hill Town Council meeting on Monday evening. After objecting strenuously to the establishment of another gas station in the southern part of the town they saw members of council vote unani- mously on a resolution moved by Councillor Tom Broad- hurst and seconded by Councillor Mrs. M. Southwell. It declared that it would bethe policy of the 1961 Council not to issue any more permits for the operation of gas stations during the year. The Harding Boulevard delegation was led by H. R. Weeks, who declared that the proposed new Texaco station had little chance of success and that it would be a “nuis- ance” operation. Two local gas station operators, with Tony Puccini acting as spokesman, also registered opposi- tion to the establishment of the new service station. Committee Unenthusiastic Before reaching a decision, members of council heard a re- port from the building committee. In the town and immediately ad- jacent thereto, the report pointed out, there were 23 stations with one under construction. One - the Fina station in the locality proposed for the new Texaco station - was closed down. In- vestigation revealed that others were making‘ a living only by working extremely long hours - up to ninety a week. There would appear to be poor prospects for any more stations starting business in Richmond Hill unless with a dealership or related business, the report de- clared.

He did not feel that any more gas stations were needed, however. In declaring that he would vote against grant- ing of a permit in the case in question. he suggested that appli- cants for building permits for a gas station should be advised that the Council would not issue permits for the operation of a station even if built.
