Iris Show And Visits To Gardens Staged By The Horticultural Society Senior Citizens Week, official- ly proclaimed from June 4 to June 10, was thoroughly enjoyed with all manner of trimmings by members of the local group. The first of a week long series of events occurred on Monday, June 5 when 52 of the more then 100 senior citizens were guests at a Lions Club bingo. ' Joe Ward, pictured above, was one of those who en- tertained when senior citize'hs enjoyed a tea party at the home of Mrs M. Thomson, 109 Yonge Street North, Rich- mond Hill, last week. With his military background, it's a safe bet that he gave the assembled gathering “Gunga Din,” a poem he has recited many times in army surround- ings. The tea party was one of the numerous events which saw Senior Citizens‘Week become an outstanding success, with old-timers “Having the time of their young lives.” ~ (Photo by Lagerquist).

On June 14 three coaches trans- ‘ported dozens of members to Niagara Falls for a picnic, return ing them late in the evening to wind up a truly memorable pro- gram. Mrs. Gall Powell of Can-ville Road, who refers to herself as “The Press" for the senior citi- zens. said: “We have so much fun that I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t attend our meetings and join in our activities. They’re missing a real blessing. Service of the kind found among us is the finest thing to keep one happy and young.” After the announcement of prize winners and a short but in- formative review of the show by Mrs. Cmulfield, the meeting came to I close with the audience view- ing the attractively displayed specimen flowers and nrrrange- menu. their lovely lines and other: were amusing because of their resem- blance to animals or birds. She uses a steel brush, fine sand- paper, shoe polish or varnish and we would say infinite patience. Summit View Gardens Host To Many Groups Friday the Lawn Bowling As- sociation was host to the senior citizens, with refreshments pro- vided and served by lady bowlers. llcket winners. The gifts, de- scribed as ‘beautiful,’ were do- nated by Richmond Hill mer- chants. Mr. William Medhurst was master of ce'remonies. Lunch was served by the Richmond Hill Scout Mothers who left nothing to chance in the way of food and drink. School board: should» also be in a position to "pink list" teach- ers, declared Trustee Mrs. Irene Won-ell lndignantly, saying that the federation has the school board “over a barrel." (Pink list- ing is the process by which tea- chers federations, in effect. de- clare school ‘boards “Unfair to organized labour." Editor.) “It’s too bad boards sit back and ac- cept this sort of thing,” she as- serted. “I don't see how we can sit back and do nothing." Other trustees agreed. “In this case the kteachers are wrong." said Trus- tee Mrs. Ruth Castle. Referring to the staff of Ricnmond Hill the demand on taxpayers by t‘ mills.

A teacher In Category 1 in Neelon-Garson has been receiv- ing a basic salary of $4,600, which the board has offered to raise to $5,400. The teachers' federation wants $6,000. The maximum for a similar grade in Toronto has been $4.900. Similarly, for teach- ers with a B.A.. the federation is demanding a maximum of $8,000. In Toronto the maximum is $7,900. "Over A Barrel" The basic minimum salary for a Neelon-Garson elementary tea- cher with a first clam certificate has been $3,000. The board has offered to raise this to $3,200. Teachers want $3,300, the Toron- to rate. Emphatic 'backing was given to the Public School Board of Nee- lon Garson School Area. located near Sud ury, Ont, by members of the ichmond Hill Public School Board at their last meet- ing. The district, a small one, has 22 teachers. As a result of a sal- ary dispute teachers’ federations have warned other teachers not tt accept employment in the area, where all but two of the present teachers have resigned. The Nee- lon Garson Board has presented its case to other school boards through the Ontario School Trus- tees Council. Salaries in dispute, it was pointed out, are in some instances higher than those paid in Toronto. Council members said the re- fuse collection is carried out monthly to take care of items which are not taken by the reg- ular garbage collection. Discus- sion revealed that some peoole more than take advantage of this additional service. They put out tremendous quantities and some- times 'two stops more than fill a truck. There was general ag- reement some limitations must be made. and containers must be of a size and weight which men can readily handle. Council received a legal opin- ion from solicitor J. D. Lucas that it is possible to pass a by- law llcencing the keeping of cats or prohibiting the keeping of such pets, but no action was tak- en. Regarding recent complaints of the nuisance of wandering tel- ines, Councillor Mrs. Margaret Souohwell reported that the Hu~ "I have heard of people from out-ofâ€"town bringing old discard- ed «furniture to their friends in Richmond Hill to get rid of," said Councillor W‘hillans. Stray Cfls Northern School's "Pink Listing" Brings Backing From School Board Works Commissioner Whalen complained that people are tak- ing advantage of the existing ser- vice and putting out stones. 'brok- en cement. and all kinds of hea- vy containers weighing up to 300 pounds. He suggested the people should be advised that there are limitations. He estimated that to make the refuse collection week- ly instead of monthly would cost an additional $30,000 per annum. Should Be Reverse Actionâ€"Trustee Worrell A letter from J. R. Newburg, 234 Anzac Rd., asked that an agenda of council meeting be posted in the town hall previous to meetings so ratepayers would know what business is to be dis- cussed. Council agreed that the agenda of meetings be posted on the bulletin board in the town hall at noon on day of meetings. Mr. Newburg asked also that additional service be provided for collection of garden refuse. This collection is now made monthly. Mayor Haggart pointed out that Richmond Hill is one of the few Ontario municipalities providing such a service. It is done now once a month and is a consider- able item of expense. Mayor Jame: Haggart presid- ed at Monday night's council meeting which was attended by all members excep't Reeve F. R. Perkins. Asks More Servlce Mayor Haggart said it is ac- cepted policy to consult all pub- lic bodies before any final decis- ion is reached but it was diffi- cult to do so until some policy has been determined as to any definite area. Councillor Mrs. Southwell said this was agreeable but she was concerned that every possible in- vestigation be made before final action ls taken. “Let’s make very sure just where we are at be- fore we take any further annex- ation steps," she said. Mayor Haggant gave definite assurance all public bodies con- cerned would have full consulta- tion before any action is taken. "As a member of council 1 would refuse to vote for it until this was done," said Councillor Broad- hurst. Councillor Mrs. Margaret Souflhwell urged that any annex- ation proposals should be sub- mitted to other public bodies concerned for their opinion and recommendations. (Continued from page 1) and that might be done by the Finance Comittees, which would include members who sit on plan- ning boards of the two munici- palities. A motion that such talk: be held was moved by Councillor Broadhurst. seconded by Council- lor Whlte and carried. Plan Talks Vaughan Annexationâ€" At a recent meeting trustees considered the purchase of elec- tric clocks, finally refusing to au- thorize purchases because only one price had been obtained. At last week‘s meeting tenders were received from four local suppli- ers. All however, were for the same amount ~ $67.80 for four _cloc_ks. Lots, may have to be At a meeting which handled so much business that an extension of the normal “curfew hour" was required. members of Richmond Hill Public School Board last week decided to put aluminum windows in a section of the Mc- Conaghy Public School, at a cost of $4,303. The project has been under consideration for some time and was included in the 1961 budget, which saw public school trustees able to reduce the demand on taxpayers by two mills. Two tenders for the job were received, the other 1being $4.448. Paving at the Pleasantville School was also arranged for at a cost of $2,292.95. Other paving at the Walter Scott school will cost $488. Windows, Paving,Clocks Get Board's Attention Richmond Hill trustees adopted three motions. One was to write to the Neelon-Garson school board backing its stand, saying that it had been fair to the toa’ chers and hoping that it would b- able to carry on. Another was to write to the teachers federation asking for their side of the story. The third one was to ask the On- tario School Trustees Council how school boards could work together properly to offset the Neelon-Garson type of action, when school boards could be so easily “pink listed." lucky to have the kind of staff it has. “They are interested in rais- ing the standard of education," she said. Write To Neelon-Glrson mane Society recently picked up three cats in Richmond Hill, and are ready and willing to act on any complaints. “That takes care of‘cats you can catch." commentâ€" ed Mayor Haggart Markham Rd. Councillor White suggested that the price asked by the T.T.C. for the Yonge Street property in Richmond Hill now used as a terminal was prohibitive. He said he understood the asking price is $100,000. “If that's the price. it is a prohibitive one,” said Councillor White. Councillor Mrs. Margaret Southwell reporting to council for the personnel committee stated that no recommendation could be made regarding duties and salary of the bylaw enforce- ment officer until such time as a clearly defined policy of enforce- ment is laid down by council. A¢ present the duties of enforce- mernt officer are carried out part time by the building inspector. Bu: Deficit Councillor Al WLh-i-te, transpor- tation committee chairman, re- ported on a recent meeting wifih the T.T.C. regarding msme ac- tion to prevent a 1961 deficit on operation of the Yonge St. bus line. Cuntail‘ment of night ser- vices was suggested, as repres- entatives of all municipalities were opposed to increase in fares. Prices Prohibitive Council gave unanimous sup- 'port to a motion by Councillor Bmadhurst and Councillor Whil- lans to take no action on the re- quest for special consideration. Council made it very clear that the new increased rates will apply to everyone, with no exception. Gar-3e Licence Council gave notice that there will be prosecutions in cases where garage licences are not re- newed by June 30th. Eniorce- mem of the garage licence by- law was placed in the hands of the Pol-ice Department Enloroement Officer Deputy-reeve Bradstock, works commit-tee chairman said the town has been losing money at the old rates and the increased price is a realistic figure. Mr. Lewis representing Lumar and Kaman Construction com- panies asked to be excused from increased rates for sewer con- nections. Rates were raised re- cently from $200. to $275. and these companies still had four lots of the original seven requir- ing uhe services. In view of a previous request for services for all seven ints it was suggested council might excuse the com- panies from the increased rates. Council took no action on the request folloleng a report by Works Commissloner Whalen that the same street line is main- tained east to Bayview Avenue. Pugsley Ave. Mr. W. Mueller spoke to coun- cil in support of a petition for the improvement of Puzsley Ave. He suggested the need for road improvement and construction of sidewalks and sewers. Mayor Haggai-t suggested the petitioners secure estimates on the cost of proposed improve- ments and then present a new petition. “As it is you‘re giving us a blank cheque. Some people may have signed not knowing the cost." he said. No Exceptions Bruce Ralph appeared on be- half of Mr. Mihorean, Markham Road, asking that ten feet of land given for road widening be rededicated to him. He stated that part of his original land was sold for an apartment site and the ten feet was rededicated by the town to the new owner. He thought he should receive the same treatment. Property owners who seek any deviation from existing land use regulations must apply to the local committee of adjustment. The fee- to have an application heard is $25.00. Council recently asked the committee regarding this fee. The committee in a let- ter to council advised that it was unanimously agreedthat the fee of $25. per application remain as it is. Council adopted the recom- mendation on motion of Deputy- reeve Bradstock, but Councillor Al White voted in opposition. Councillor White‘s contention was that there should be a grad- ed schedule of fees, and the per- son asking a simple adjustment should not have to pay as much as one asking a change involving perhaps many thousands of dol- lars. Councillor Whillans said fees should remain as they are and the only alternative would be to make all free. Mayor Hag- gart said that applicants are get- ting infractions of the regula- tions legalized and he thought they should be willing to pay. Deputy-clerk Mack Clement. sec- retary of the committee of ad- justment reported that/committee expenses last year were about $1,100. and receipts about $300. Encourage Sports The Lacrosse Clubwas granted permission to erect two banners across Yonge Street advertising the games. “They‘re trying hard to bring back lacrosse which was at one time a very popular sport here,” said Councillor A1 White in urging support for the request. “We do little enough to encour- age sport." said Deputy-reeve Bradstock in moving the request be granted. Councillor Whillans and Broadhurst opposed the er- ection of banners. They said they were all for encouraging lacrosse but questioned the desirability of banners across Yonge Street.

On motion of Councillor White the Finance Committee will review the situation in re- gards to mdnicipal banking. Census Complaints Mayor James Haggart said that he wished to make it clear to all the people that the Mayor or council had absolutely nothing to do either with the hiring of census enume-rators, the way the work was done or. the questions asked. “This census was entirely the work and resiponsibility of the federal government," said the Mayor, “and persons who have any complaints should direct them to the local Member of Par- liament and not to the Mayor“. Asks Damages A. P. Pearson. 112 Baker Ave. wrote council asking compensa- tion for an accident when he fell on the street near his home in February, 1960. As a result of in- juries he was oiT work from ,Feb- ruary 17th until the end of May. The insurance companylhas den- ied any‘ town responsibility in the accident and refused to pay any claim for damages. Mr. Peason claimed the town should make some settlement to cover ‘medi- cal, loss of pay and legal fees. He stated that although the accident was immediately reported on February 17th. the insurance adjuster did not see him until March 1st. _Council referred the letter to the town solicitor for advice. Deputy-reeve Bradstock suggested an enquiry to the in- surance company about the ap- parent delay in having an ad- juster on the scene.
