The cost of the material would be roughly $5 per day the year round. Additional labour, one-Ihalf hour per day per pump- house, would be required for the maintenance of the fluoridation operation. she said. {plebis'cite or in’a’formal query at the next election.

The watermain extension must eventually be undertaken, they said. and could best be done in conjunction wit-h the access road operation.

The amount of debentures was small - only $5,200 - but Reeve Wilfred Dean and other members of the coun- cil. which will issue a con- siderable amount of deben- tures before long, looked on it as a good sign. lANGSTAFF THORNLEA this amount, and this was done. Sa-id Mrs. Axelson: “We want to stretch the $200 as far as possible and to this end decided on a clean-up day. Scrub needs to be cleared and we feel we can at- tend to this matter ourselves. The parkette promises to be the an- swer for us where the little ones are concerned."

Prowl By Night Takes Life Of Valuable Dog What happens next? Following the formal adoption of the by- law 'by the township council, :1 copy of it is sent to the secretary of each school section. Another copy goes to the Minister of Edu- cation in Toronto. Service of the fby-‘law in this manner is consid- ered the equivalent of a publish- ed notice. The Minister waits thirty days. It! no objections have been re- ceived from school sections or other people, approval is more or less certain. Trustees for the new school area are elected at large from the district covered by the area- the former school sections compris- ing it. Trustees from sections are; of course, no longer elected. E1- ections of school aréa trustees ta':es place at the same time as township elections. The information was secured as the result of a recent visit by Reeve Wilfred Dean and other members of council to a meeting of the Toronto Board of Control. At that rDime the Markham dele- gation asked the Toronto “brass” to do something to make the val- uable jail farm land available for industrial development.

The plans now go to Ot- tawa where federal authorities will, it is expected, give their ap- proval in the next month. By the time tenders have been call- ed and cleared, snow will have fallen. The building itself will cost $850,000, architect fees $50,000 and equipment about $200,000. The cost will be borne by the federal treasury. Equipment Approved Aside from this major item. the board, at its first meeting in the new headquarters at 25 Yonge North, Richmond Hill, dealt with a mass of business.

Accounts Passed Still on money, accounts were passed in the amount of over $200,000. Regular accounts came to $202,396.00, building accounts $35,954.00 and cafeteria accounts $4,079.00.

Certainly, .there are thousands of Chevrolet Trucks across Canada with thousands of profit miles behind them. Who knows, perhaps yOu’ll retire before your truck does. But onething we can say with surety: your Chevrolet Truck has been built to give you the best performance throughout the longest possible lifetime.

For this is the heart of truck performance. And it‘s here that Chevrolet V-8’s and 6’s have proven their depend- able worth. Naturally, Chevrolet gives you a choice of power plants . . . but they all have something in common. Namely, over~ head valves, Moraine bearings and full pressure lubrication, all specially designed for long engine life.

Such classes, now held in Toronto and lasting six weeks, enable a student who fails to get one or more subjects in any grade save 13 to get caught up and as well to take a subject or two in the next grade. Mrs. Langstai’f said that the district never has had such classes 'and felt there would be definite ad- vantages for students coming un- der the jurisdiction of the board. It was also felt that district sum- mer classes might encourage more students to take advantage of the educational opportunities represented. Bayview Report Mr. Howard Eubank. principal at Bayview. reported that all the Ontario College of Education teachers who will join the Bay- view staff this fall were success- ful in their graduation exams. He said further that eight of his teachers are taking summer cour- ses while two are doing private study. In closing he said that the overall passing average at Bay- view this year was '77 per cent. Form Letter The board approved a form letter set up by Principal A. S. Elson of Thornhill, to be signed by the students who fail twice in one grade, and their parents. The form letter contains certain pro- visos which must be abided by when such students are permit- ted to ray-enter school. Approve Sewers A letter from Markham Town- ship prompted the board to ap- prove an $8,000 contribution to- ward the Dudley Avenue sewers which will service pThornhill High School, where the septic tank system is to be done away with. The Separate School in the same area, the Thornhill Una ited Church and the Masonic Lodge, will also contribute to- ward Ithe cost proportionately.
