It cost the township a shade more than $21,000.00 in salar- ies and allowances while about $5,500.00 was budgeted to take care of council fees and idemni- ties. Township business in terms of printing and postage came to $2,415.75, about $1,0C0.00 less than had been anticipated at the start of the year. Auditing fees came to $1,350.00. and en- giqeertng seryices $2,938.03. Whltchurch Township devoted just a fraction less than 40 per cent of its 1960 expenditures on education, $333,901.33. Total 1960 income was about $800,000.00 _There are 25 schools including three high schools, at Aurora. Newmarket and Stouffvllle. Roads and bridges in the town- .shlp accounted for the biggest outlay next to education, $181.- 810.58. This was about $17,000.00 less than provided for In the budget. The County of York levy took $52,532.44, a few hundred dollars more than had been earmarked.

It was a few degrees colder up there than here in the city. so a couple of the leaders set out alone leav- ing the boys in the barn to keep warm. It didn’t take very long (or one nose to take on the omi- nous white tinge so back they went to warn the rest then they all set off for the bush well wrap- ped up where they built a lean- to and busled themselves with a fire and the business of cooking lunch. Scouter Johnson tells me he introduced the boys to the modern art of cooking in alumi- num foil, no dishes to wash and no burnt food. They all enjoyed the outing and arrived home tired and hungry but not cold which was, you must admit, quite an accomplishment. 2nd Thomhill Cubs and Scouts Mothers’ Auxiliary vv‘ vvvvvvv Other expenses were as fol- lows: Ontario land surveyors. $150; Planning Board fees and A meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Buckingham on Education Takes 40% Of Whitchurch Taxes CORRESPONDENT: LONGER HOURS Open :1 Savings Ac. count at National Trust and enjoy our more convenient Shopping Centre hours.

The institute is requesting the department to compensate far- mers for losses and damages in- curred by careless hunters, pass more stringent hunting regula- tions and bring in legislation en- abling the farmer to maintain his authority on his property.

Civil defence in York County will cost $20,000 during 1961, members of York County Coun- cil were told at Newmarket this week. The estimate was presented by W. F. A. Preston, recently appointed co-ordinator. public survival, for the county. Public Survival Program To Cost $20,000 In 1961 In addition County Council will spend $14,000 on rescue equipment. $12,600 of this am- ount will come from federal and provincial governments. The amount, Mr. Preston told coun- cillors. was available because a sum had been earmarked for the county in 1960 but had not been expended as a co-ordinator had not been named until the end of the year. The Ontario Municipal Board gave tentative approval this week to proposals to provide mun‘ icipal water systems for the Po- lice Village of Schomberg and the Oak Ridges Area in King Township. Each county in Ontario, said Mr. Preston, is encouraged to re- cruit, on a voluntary basis, at least one rescue company of 86 men. The 1960 holdover of funds would permit acquisition of en- ough material to train a company. Cost of the water systems were estimated at $278,100 for Oak Ridges and $119,700 for Schumâ€" berg. Approve Oak Ridges Water The average householder will be assessed on mill rate, front- age, consumer rate and connec- tion fees. In Oak Ridges the as- sessment will be $86.50 a year and-$69.90 a year in Schomberg. The Ontario Water Resources Commission will give final ap- proval to bids not exceeding en- gineering estimates by more than 10 per cent. The water systems will serve 18 streets in Oak Ridges and seven streets in Schomberg. Work is expected to start early in the spring on both project.

Police “The attendance of 427 parents out of a student enrollment of some three hundred under con- ditions of severe winter weather is a glowing testimonial of the community conscience", said Principal Howard L. Eubank, B. A., B. Paed., describing the first Bayview High School Parent- Teacher meeting held last Wed- nesday. Principal Praises Parents By all reports the meeting was an unqualified success. One fea- ture that was much appreciated. as reported by many parents, was the absence of queues at the doors of teachers with hundreds of parents waiting patiently to talk to 14 teachers. In his open- ing address the principal invited the parents to visit the teachers’ and their children’s class rooms as a group and to share with the teacher their mutual problems, solutions and experience.” Said one parent, "We went to this classroom where we were met by the teacher who sat us in the seat occupied by our child. As the other parents came in they were assigned to the desks of their children and also introduc- ed to the rest of us. Then the teacher explained to us the very logical reasoning behind this seat- ing plan and how all students benefited from it and then we all started discussing the bene- fits and advantages of education- al systems & first thing we knew it was time to tour the building, have refreshments, meet all the teachers socially and in what seemed to be no time at all the whole evening was gone. “I am inclined to give all the credit to the parents,” said Prin- cipal Eubank, “when a teacher can report to me that the first question asked by a parent was: “How can we as parents help you as a teacher?” then you know you are in a community with a soc- ial conscience and a sound crea- tive approach to educational prob- lems.” Prefect System Bayview High this week inaug- urated a prefect system, Principal Eubank announced with the in- stallation of Bill Newton-Smith as head-prefect. Bill, who is the son of the Reverend J. W. New- tonâ€"Smith, 407 Lynett Crescent, Richmond Hill. will be assisted by Larry Guio, Secretary-Treas- urer Vivian Nieberg and a stafi of ten other student prefects. All candidates selected from students with an academic stand- ing of at least 60% were nomin- ated by students and teachers then elected by the students of grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. .,A;A__L “The prefect system of student administration and discipline provides an opportunity for the emergence and training of these students who are considered to be natural leaders by their fel- low students and teachers.

SHORTHAND AUTHORITY VISITS BAYVIEW ES. Reported By: Bill Newton-Smith and Rosemary Gross Known as one of the foremost Pitman authorities, Miss Marion Angus proved to the students of Bayview High School last Wel- nesday that she is also a speaker of some note. With stimulating oratory and some colourful anec- dotes related with a trace of broad “Scots” accent she explain- ed the increasing importance of shorthand in spite of an increase in mechanical shorthand devices. Miss Angus proved to the sat- isfaction of her enthusiastic stud- ent audience that shorthand not only improved the career oppor- tunities and financial expectations of a young man equipped with this but, that it was also of great value to the student going on to universiy. Following her appearance at the student assembly Miss Angus was invited by Principal Eubank, to visit the various commercial classes being held that morning. Stated Mr. Eubank, “the enthus- iastic .response of the students to this speaker merely serves to un- derline the growing demand for a four year commercial course in this school. This matter is un- der study by the Board. At the present time, Bayview offers only typing and bookkeeping as com- mercial options and an early op- portunity typing class for those students of the regular course who find typing a valuable ad- junct to their summer earning capacity." fions Your Con fribu and rehabilitate the handicapped THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, February 16, 1961 15 ewd for The regular monthly meeting of the Headford W.
