King City Notes The village council feels it is directly involved in supplying utilities and services to the high school, such as water, hydro and possibly sewers. For weeks King City Village Trustees have been seeking direct representation on Aurora and District High ’School Board. With {King Township and York County appointments already made for this year. the trustees indicated at their regular meeting last week they would continue to press for representation next year. It was explained county coun- cil could appoint three board members instead of one, if re- quested by the high school board. Trustee Donald Findlay pointed out, if the size of the board is in- creased. that King City could well supply two men or women. He felt the village should be permitted to nominate the appointee. Trustees are concerned with the volume of traffic generated by the school and the times and places which might require police services. They were informed by the school board its transporta- tion committee would be in touch with trustees. Mr. Bolton noted if King City received an appointment, the member would be representative of the township and not the vil~ lage alone. King City Trustees met a few days ago with the school board. After discussing financing of the extra waterworks, trustees were asked to submit in writing their calculation of costs. Chairman Ronald Bolton ex- plained he did not feel the vil- lage of 1,700 people could be ex‘ pected to pay the bulk of expense for the third well, which will be partly used to supply high school needs. Residents would be paying their share on a percentage basis if costs are spread over the mu- nicipalities served by the new school. With most students using Aurora facilities up to now, the village library has been patron- ized by a handful of senior stu- dents. The library board expects demands on King City’s book service will increase greatly with the school's opening this Fall. The principal is to be consulted about sutable books. Unable to be present for the gift presentation. in which they A purse of money, films and stationery were presented to the two travellers, who enjoyed con- tests and refreshments with their friends.

During their two- month visit, Mrs. LeGrow and Mrs. Harold plan to go to France to see the grave of Mr. Harold, who was killed in action at the end of the First World War. Mrs. Fred Curtis of Humber Crescent entertained neighbours and friends at a farewell party, which was a complete surprise to the two guests of honor, Mrs. Kenneth LeGrow and Mrs. Chris- tina Harold. * Twenty tables were played at the Laskay Women's Institute euchre in the hall.

A special draw for an Easter egg was made by Bonnie McDon- ald, the prize going to Mr. Charles Henshaw Sr. They were in the back room, a few feet from the fire trucks, and had just finished playing euchre at the Firemen's W.A. party when the alarm signalled for aid at the Renninson household. Five members of King City Brigade did not have far to go when the siren summoned fire- men to the hall for a fire call. the house. Ready for Action | On March let. St. Paul's Uniâ€" lted Church W. A. held their .regular monthly meeting. Presi- ldent Mrs. M. Laing presided. On April the 12th the regular monthly meeting of Branch 570 Canadian Legion will take place at the Plaza Store. President Charlie Swan has invited all veterans not members to attend and learn more of the group. A social evening has been planned following the meeting. On April 17th the Ladies Auxiliary will hold their general meeting and Zone Commander Mrs. Mabel Clark will make her annual visit. Women’s Auxiliary On Tuesday and Wednesday evening of last week the pupils ' and teachers of Lake Wilcox ; School presented their parents and friends with a most pleas- ant programme thus ending sev- , eral weeks of practice and. re- hearsals. Most of the junior clas- , ses performed on one night only but the seniors and choirs were before the audience for both ev- enings. The junior choir opened the programme with “O Canada”, and received a big hand for their rendition of “All through the Night,” “Frere Jacques" done in both French and English and in two rounds, and “Peter Cotton- tail.” Principal W. C. D. Hall, welcomed the public and intro- duced Mrs. Freda Munro who is- sued a welcome in the name of the school board. The young showmen were extremely good and many a mother’s eyes were‘ rather dewy as her little trouper breezed through his or her role. The kindergarten pupils enacted the story of the Little Red Hen, teacher, Mrs. Ogalvie, the morn- ing class on Tuesday evening and the afternoon class on Wednes- day. The grade one class of Room 11 on Tuesday portrayed the story of Sleeping Beauty. Their teacher is Mrs. Rose. On Wed- nesday the other grade one class that of Mrs. Gervais in Room 9 took the spotlight as they pres- ented a skit entitled “Brownies- Hush.” On both evenings the Grade three pupils in Room 8 accompanied by their teacher Mrs. Young presented three Folk Dances. On Tuesday the boys and girls of grade two in Room 10, made their teacher 'Mrs. Crawford very proud of them with their presentation of “Springtime in Rhyme” while on Wednesday the pupils of Room 12, a mixed class of grades two and three taught by Mrs. Johnson presented a skit named “Big Medicine.” The junior choir returned at this point on the programme to sing the “Cradle Song” “Mary, Mary Quite Contrary” and “Scarlet Rib- bons" on both evenings. On Tues- day Mrs. Burnside's grade four students from Room 5 presented a playette entitled “Every Sea- son Has A Reason" while on Wednesday the Room 7 mixed class of grades three and four presented the River Kwai March Past, a display of precision m-ar- ching. Due to the illness of their teacher Mrs. Mullings, Mrs. Gra- ham who taught most of them se- veral years ago when she was the Kindergarten teacher directed op- erations. The grade 6 pupils from room 2 directed by Mrs. Vines presented the play Robin Hood IA of the class appearing each evening. Room 4’s grade five class under Mr. Kyle presented more folk dances on both nights while the grade seven pupils of Room 3 presented a comedy en- titld “A Visit of Inspection,” di- rected by their teacher Mr. Gra- ham who divided his. class so that one half appeared aach evening. The school oratorical representa- tive Marilyn Oxley a’grade eight student recited “Our New North.” The grade eight students taught by Mr. Shearer did two square dances on both evenings follow- ed by a gymnastic display pres- ented by. the Tumbling Club. Mrs. Munro presented honour cer- tificates to those students who had not missed a day or were not late last year. The senior choir closed the show with their rendition of “Come, Loyal Hearts," “Ye Banks and Braes," “Oh. no, John" “Glory. to thee, my God this Night,” and finally “God Save the Queen." Mr. and Mrs. Ken Seager as- sisted by their daughter Jade did an excellent job in the make up department and were certainly kept busy in both nights. Correction Several weeks ago I mistaken- ly announced in my plea for chap- erons for the teen dances held biâ€"weekly at Lake Wilcox School that the recreation committee which sponsors them was affil- iated with the Elmwood Beach Association. Mr. Evans informed me that this was not so and said while they are 100% in favour of the whole project the association as a group is not involved. Mr. Evans said the difficulty in at- tending these functions stemmed from the fact that younger child- ren at home prevented both par- ents‘ active participation. Legion News Lake Wilcox Publié School Activ- ity Night Tomorrow night is party night in All Saint’s Church auditorium. for the “Spring Fling" there will be a variety of dances to music of the Mellodaires. euchre and bridge, prizes for lucky draws, dancing and cards, and refresh- ments.

Mrs. Sid Taylor of Glen-El-Tee Kennels Yonge Street, Bond Lake seems to be attracting all kinds of animals besides her Shetland Sheep Dogs for which she is well known. It seems one evening last week when she was coming through the yard with a tray of dishes from feeding, a huge jack- rabbit jumped out in front of her in the darkness. This incident forgotten the next morning she was outside hanging up the wash- ing when the shriek of brakes on the highway sent chills through her again. She raced to the corner of the house, a piece of washing still clutched in her hand to see a deer at the gallop, race up beside the house. past the runs where the dogs were ex- ercising and disappear down Muirhead Crescent. Nothing will surprise her now she says. Recently admitted to member- ship of the church service were Mrs. Kay Storey, Miss Sharron Storey, Mr. Russell Martin. Mr. J. Nichols.

Monday evening at the monthly business meeting Mr. Don Gal- braith was appointed acting Sun- day School Superintendent. Mr. Scottie Templeton took on the responsibility of caretaker for the next six months. Tuesday evening saw a good attendance at the mid-week prayâ€" er meeting. A new record was set at Sunday School recently when 82 children attended and six new members were enrolled. Sunday evening the service was greatly enjoyed, special guests were Mrs. Louis Martin, soprano and a group from Bayview Baptist Church. Devotional period was led by Mrs. A. Gallacher whose theme was “Grief and Gladness," fol- lowed by a solo by Mrs. K. Faro quharson. The programme ar- ranged by Mrs. C. Woolley was a show of coloured slides taken by Mrs. W. Gardiner on her trip, last year to Europe to see the “Passion Play” in the village of Oberammergau in the Bavarian Alps. At the meeting on April 18th Rev. W.

Double Road Budget Without finalizing the road bud- get, trustees expected village costs would be $16,000, double last year’s figure. Mr. Bolton did not anticipate an increase in vil- lage taxes and suggested the rate would be 12 mills. Mr. Thompson was asked to prepare figures on garbage col- lection after Mr. Findlay insisted trustees should review the service operating at a slight current loss. and the number of householders’ bills paid. He questioned if the billing allowed sufficient for overhead. The'signs will affect west-side parking as far as the turn on Hoop St., a distance of 200 feet. Mt. Findlay pointed out the by-law had been a long-term one, auth- orizing the signs which had not been placed until now. . The decision was not in agree- ment with the views of a rate- payer, Mr. John Robb, who was again present to find a solution to cars blocking his Hoop St. driveway. Mr. Robb had suggested banning east-side parking. Trustee Robert O’Reilly inquir- ed about his earlier proposal to have welcome signs at the village boundaries. Mr. Thompson re- ported he had contacted Toronto and York Roads Commission and the matter had been left in abey- ance with the illness of Engin- eer Jack Rettie. Mr. Hughes commented the re- port was “based on the greatest facilities for the largest number of ipeqplre." Reporting on the village offer to share its police with township, Mr. Findlay said, “Township ad- vised they would have their police committee get in touch with us." Hg agreed with the report of Mr. Thompson and Constable Hughes, advising that “no park- ing” signs be erected on the west side of Hoop St. conforming with the by-law. Mentioning the water table was lower everywhere, Mr. Bolton noted village water is being ob- tained now at 18- and 17-feet, whereas last April it was at the 14- and 15-foot level. Secretary - manager G. T. Thompson was asked by Trustees to make note of any fluoridation report at the Central Ontario Waterworks Conference. Trustees indicated if they were ever con- fronted with a fluoridation prob- lem, they would want to have in- formation about it for ratepayers. Lower Water Table An unsolicited report from the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission showed King City well water is rated Grade A. It is showing iron content and presents no problems. Chairman Ronald Bolton re- ported discussion with township council resulted in no change in the way the per capita grant is applied and “we are under a re- vised rental rate scheme for roads equipment.” The fire area to be covered by King City Brigade is smaller this year because of the inclusion for the first time of Nobleton Brigade in the township set-up. 3.
