High School Board might be planning to build a new high school in Richvale and launch a composite school addition to Bayview High in the near future would be premature. At its regular meeting May 8 the board merely went through the formalities of approving the [need for such projects. Every little Bit Helps |ln\'\u -V. r- 7 A, As matters stand now, the Planning Committee must await the result of a student-popu‘ation survey being undertaken by Ad- ministrator D. J. Ashworth, which is designed to help decide on the most feasible site for a school in, or near Richvale. Conceivably the new school could even be erected in West Vaughan, accord- |ing to the administrators. _ , ‘ mills.

The rate was struck hurriedly at the conclusion of town coun- cil's “long-distance” budget meet- ing last week. On revising the mass of figures the next day Town Clerk and Treasurer Rus- sell Lynett found several changes which had not been allowed for in the hurried assembly of final figures the day before. The re- vision led to the new decreased rate. Up Nine Per Cent Separate school rates are un- average - taxes on it at last year's rate would have been $250.50. This year‘s figure will be $271.15.

The rate for residential public school supporters was announced last week as 54.4 mills. It has been revised â€" downward, fortunater â€" to 54.23 mills. The commercial and industrial rate for public school supporters has also been scaled downward, from Tax increase this year will mean that public school suppor- ters will pay about $20 more this year if they are owners of a $12,000 home.

Building permits issued in Richmond Hill for the month of IApril showed a considerable in- iciease over the same month in ’1960, according to figures re. leased by Building Inspector Jack ‘Hollowell. Fourteen permits for 'the month totalled $207,325, com- pared to a valuation of $120,000 in April, 1960. Education Provided At $1.51 Per Day Building Permits Up From Figure Of 1960 Four residential permits totall- ed $53,000. Two industrial per- mits, which included part of the expansion of the Richmond Hill Cdld Storage plant and some con- struction for Imperial Oil, a- mounted to $18,350. Two commercial permits were issued, totalling $9,500. One of them covered renovations to the old Canadian Tire Store at 25 Yonge Street North, which is to become the office of the York Central High School Board. One permit was issued in the school bracket. Amounting to $123,000, it covered the new St. Mary Immaculate Separate School, now being erected to Schéol, now being erectéd serve the northwest section the town. Five permits amounted to $3.475 and covered garages, re- pairs and additions, 16 Free Po|io Clinics For Adults To Be Held In York County In May The York County Medical As- sociation, whose 1961 President is Dr. Patrick Greaves, Newmarket, will again hold free clinics for giving polio vaccine to adults at sixteen centres in the County be- ginning in the middle of May. The Medical Association has sponsored these clinics for adults each year for the past three years as a public service. “Tye-{aims toxoid will also be pro- vided together with the polio vac- cine. or separately_if _de_sir_ed.l_ The clinics will be held in the evening for the greater conven- ience of most citizens.

Town Treasurer Lynett says that taxpayers may not re- ceive them until about the mid- dle of June. The usual twenty days for first payment. without penalty. will be allowed. board so far has simply approved in principle that the wing should be a composite addition. While this project is to be completed by September. 1962. a lot of water must flow before all details are mapped out. The board reports that at best. probably two months will elapse before either or both plans be- gin to jell. June's Census Themesong"Someone Will Find You" No matter where you are dur- ing June. census takers will make every effort to reach you. Chances are that you, or some member of your household, will be home when the census taker knocks. But if you‘re not, for any one of a score of reasons, you will be reached during June â€"or later, if need beâ€"by the Canadian census. If you're a trapper in the North, the census questions like- ly were put to you weeks ago by nadian merchant marine on the high seas. or posted to a Cana- dian trade mission abroad. Even so, you will be reached by the census. All these possibili- ties have been taken into account. Census officials say there is "a good chance" most vacationers travelling across Canada will be reached at some point during their trip. Hotels, motels and tourist camps will be surveyed on the evening of May 31-June 1. Contacted 0n Return If you're a trapper in the North, the census questions like- ly were put to you weeks ago by RCMP officials doubling as cen- sus takers. If you‘re planning a vacation abroad during June. you will be contacted upon your re- turn so that the national portrait of Canada may be complete. Never Too Far But suppose you are travelling across Canada during June. Or that you are in hospital, or sta- tioned at a military camp in Europe, or serving with the Ca- 775086 IT’S SPRING. . .

Less than five percent of the Canadian population. The time and effort involved in reach- ing them is necessarily out of proportion to their numbers. But census officials say it is import- ant that a national census reach everyone: “We don’t want the Canadian population to be report- ed lower than it actually is. just because some people are hard to reach."
