Starting from The unusual experience of a vote which saw only one person in the affirmative - even the se- conder of the motion voting a- gainst it - occurred at Richmond Hill Public School Board’s last meeting. The vote was sparked by a let- ter from the International Bro- therhood of Electrical Workers. It stated that the union had learned that the board was plan- ning to have present lighting fixtures in one of the schools replaced and that this work was to be done by the board’s own maintenance staff. It requested that this work should be done by qualified electrical contractors. Says Training Required who is being married on May 7. Record Odd Vote At School Board On Work Request Introducing a motion that this be done, Trustee Mrs. Matthews was able to secure a seconder in order to permit discussion. She presented a number of reasons for acceding to the request, express- ing her belief that contractors who were in business for them- selves should be given such work, which she believed should be car- ried out by trained individuals. Other trustees pointed out that the work in question was of a type that could be easily handled by almost any good maintenance man. In any event, said board Vice-Chairman Harold Sanderson. a member of that staff had had training which made him fully competent to do the job. On the vote being taken, all members of the board with the exception of Trustee Mrs. Mat- thews voted against hiring a con- tractor to carry out the work. the left, there’s Navy League Ca- det Larry DeBaeremaeker, Sea Cadet Dennis Murray, Sea Cadet John McCallum, Sea Cadet Of- ficer Lieut.

Ontariohand the Navy Lea- gue Cadets Corps No. 29 Train In City It's quite a chore for these lads to get their training. They have to travel. once or twice every week, to the John Wan‘less School on Fairlawn Avenue, To- ronto. There is, however. a pos- sibility that before long cadet corps might be established near- er home. Authority for that state- ment is the man behind the boys in Richmond Hill - Gordon D. McCallum of 92 Pugsley Avenue. He is chairman of the North York Civilian Committee, which stands behind the cadets, and knows something of the practical side of a sailor’s life. During the Se- cond World War he was an en- gine-room artificer. Accommoda- tion is a real problem in Rich- Research: Significant contributions are made to the National Health Research Fund through general revenue, memorial gifts, bequests and special projects. (The Aims and Accomplishments of the Canadian Mental Health Association) This week, the first fund-raising campaign under the auspices of the Canadian Mental Health Association takes place. Mrs. Donald Strickland, 70 Johnson Avenue in Thornhill is the executive director and campaign manager for C.M.H.A. in York County. It is her wish that the public be informed why the CMHA must have the funds to carry on their important work. Consider now the aims and accomplishments of C.M.H.A. Their aim is always to help in the prevention of mental illness . . . educate the public about mental illness . . . conduct research into the problems of mental illness and provide services to those who are already mentally ill. Prevention: They make surveys to assess commun- ity needs. They hold conferences to alert society to the problem. They establish workshops to stimulate comâ€" munity action. They provide consultation services and employ the guidance of experts. Education: During the past year C.M.H.A. has held 38 public meetings and workshops using experts to in- form the public about the problems. They have provid- ed speakers, films and program materials for more than 500 meetings of other organizations. They have made a year around effort through radio, TV, newspapers and exhibits aimed at removing the “stigma” from mental illness and to bring about better public understanding and acceptance. Services To The Mentally Ill: Dramatic results have been achieved in the last few years through direct per- sonal services to the patient and ex-patient by the loyal and devoted army of White Cross Volunteers. If funds permit, the Canadian Mental Health Assoc- iation will conduct a greatly accelerated research, in Canada, into the causes. treatment and prevention of mental illness. They will sponsor a wide program of volunteer services to the sick people in our hospitals . . . more visits . . . more remembrances . . . more outings . . and more Christmas gifts, more approved homes and social rehabilitation centres so that the discharged peo- ple in more communities can make the journey back to health as early as possible. They also wish a stepped-up program of public education . . . more films . . . more radio programs . . . more source material for writers . . more facts for public officials . . more literature and more discussion and public meetings. What the Canadian Mental Health Association has already accomplished is outstanding. Public interest is growing and the resulting funds enable all mental pat- ients to receive better care. Mental Health Clinics are becoming a regular feature of the health services in larger communities. ' Through good public education the stigma of men- tal illness is being removed. People are beginning to ac- cept it as just another one of mankind’s health hazards, subject to treatment and in some cases . . . prevention. Thousands of Volunteer Visits and Showers of Christmas Gifts have brought new hope, comfort and therapeutic aid to thousands of patients across Canada. Teachers, public health nurses, clergymen and non- professionals in leadership capacities have been given special intensive training and education under the spon- sorship of C.M.H.A. to help prevent illness in their own communities and to build better mental health. Mental illness is no respector of persons. Give generously of your financial support. Help another family’s need. You may be insuring your own need or your family’s need in the future.
