Unusual Move By Chair Highlight Of Meeting: As Jefferson, Concord Parents Meet Trustees: "Made Your Own Bad Publicity" School Board Told Jefferson and Concord parents turned out in force last Thursday evening to a special meeting of the Vau- ghan Township School Area Board at Maple, pressing for transportation which would lessen the risk for their youngsters on their way to school along busy Numbers 7 and 11 highways. They were again unsuc- cessful in securing a favourable decision from trustees but, in the course of a lengthy meeting, witnessed a number of unusual occurrences. Among them were: . . . . An accusation that those on the board had misrepresented the position at Concord to resi- dents of Jefferson in order to keep the two groups, with sim- ilar problems. from staging un- ified action. The meeting at Maple was called by Acting Chairman Mrs. Mona Robertson following de- velopments earlier in the week. when parents in the Jefferson School area carried out their threat not to send their child- ren to school along dangerous Yonge Street unless transpor- tation, which had been provided for ten years and which had been cut 05 this year, was re- stored. A committee meeting was son. She pointed out that it scheduled for 8 p.m., with an bore the signatures of many appointment being made for a who had no children going to delegation at Concord parents school but who were willing to Ito be given fifteen minutes at back the safety demands of 8.15 to present their case again. other residents. The delegation was heard be- Concord Objects hind closed doors with other The board has made its own members of the public and the bad publicity, said Mrs. Ruth press waiting outside. It was Kefi‘er of Concord, leader of nearb' 9.30 when the school that area’s delegation. She said “Training for Leadership" is a keynote activity of most Junior Chambers of Commerce. In Richmond Hill that training reaches right down to the town’s youngsters. The picture above gives an illustration of one of the many facets of characterâ€"building in which Jaycees take a‘ part. Here are seen from the Jaycees Give Helping Hand To Minor Ball-players area board, having heard the Concord delegation for a long period and then gone into ses- sion by itself, went into open meeting. Will Stay rand Fight It was then that Mrs. Robert- son made her declaration about not resigning but staying to fight on the side of parents. At that time she moved the first of the motions to reopen the trans- portation question, which failed to find a seconder. Mrs. T. J. Thomasson, leader of the Jeflerson group, told trustees that she and her group were not “rabble-rousers" and made a strong appeal for con- sideration of the human side of their problem. “We are not as ‘ornery' as you may have been told," she asserted. "Please don't close your minds to this situation,‘ she asked. She sug- gested that transportation be re- stored, even only temporarily, until a solution could be work- ed out. Later in the proceed- ings she made another appeal. this time to her own followers, to keep the discussion on a ‘peaceable level. Her request \followed remarks addressed to lTrustee Kaiser. who bore the ‘brunt of the audience's disap- proval and was at one point ask- ed if he “would be able to laugh after the first child had been killed on Yonge Street." A petition signed by 183 resi- dents of the Jefferson district was presented by Mrs. Thomas- son. She pointed out that it bore the signatures of many who had no children going to school but who were willing to back the safety demands of other residents. Concord Objects No sign of weakening was shown when Jefferson parents met at the school again on September 11th - rather, a hardening of their determination to intensify the fight for safety for their youngsters on their way to and from school. More than 70 parents were present. In- cluded were parents of chil- dren living outside the twoâ€" rnile limit, for whom trans- portation is provided, and who indicated that they might go on a "‘sympathy” strike, backing the parents of children who live within the two-mile limit. Determination Is U nweakened There has been no sign of weakening since the strike began. Attendance remains at the same point, the max- imum number of pupils present being 40 out of ap- proximately 125 possible. A delegation of parents will attend Vaughan Town- ship Council meeting next Monday evening and, on September 28th, when the Vaughan Township School Area Board meets again, it is likely that a full atten- dance of parents from the Jefferson area will face it once more. that the attitude of board mem- bers who had asked Jefferson people why they couldn’t pay as the Concord people did. was entirely wrong. The bus for which the Concord people were paying was very much over- crowded and was being run i1- legally, she declared. Many critical remarks were made by members of the aud- ience. An attempt had been made to organize a car pool. it was said, but was impracticable. Several suggestions were made that transportation should be restored temporarily, pending a plebiscite. Both Concord and Jefferson residents reiterated time and again, that they were not looking for charity and were quite willing to bear their share of the cost. But they re- mained adamant that this must be organized by the board, which was the only body in a position to handle it with prop- er safeguards being established. left, Lindsay Christie, viceâ€"president of the local Chamber and Colin Burgess, president.

(Photo by Lagerquist) Fast Action Needed (Continued from page one) beds are progressing to the point it is hoped to break the first sod this autumn and to be in full operation early in 1963. The ultimate plans call for 600 active treatment beds, but news that at least 135 beds are in sight for 1963 is most welcome news to people of the southern part of York County. The site chosen for the new hospital, on Vaughan Road just west of Richmond Hill town limits, is one of the most beautiful to be found anywhere and is conveniently located to serve the whole area. The splendid co-operation of York County Council, York County Hospital Commission, York County Medical Association, York County Hospital Board at Newmar- ket, local municipal councils and officials, and the good-will and support of an enthusiastic hospital association and the people of the whole district have enabled plans for the new hospital to proceed even more quickly than anticipated. Plans are well under way, financing is pretty well arranged, and it is hoped that final Municipal Board approval will be forth- coming so County Council can give final reading to debenture by-laws at an early date. If the accelerated plans for breaking sod this fall are to materialize it is most important that there be no unnecessary delays. “v....‘, .4. President Storm’s letter to Richmond Hill Coun- cil related to the provision of necessary services for the new hospital. These Services, necessary access road, water and sewers are of course vital and ar- rangements must be provided before Municipal Board approval is forthcoming. The hospital site is located in Vaughan Township, although on the borders of the town of Richmond Hill and this, while complicating the negotiations, should provide no real difficulties. There is abundant evidence that the people of this whole district urgently need the new hospital, and want it constructed with all possible speed. We are sure the people would be most unhappy if the opening of the badly needed hospital should be delay- ed weeks or months by any lengthy consideration of plans or alternate plans for sewage treatment. We are confident that the elected representatives will act with a promptness in keeping with the urgen- cy of the situation, and give assurance that when needed the necessary services will be provided. This assurance can be given by Richmond Hill. by Vaughan Township, or by neighbouring municipalities in a joint agreement. Details of sewarre disposal plans can be worked out by the municipalities concerned and the most economic plan to serve hospital and other com- munity needs adopted after thorough study and in- vestigation. It is important, however, that assurance of the necessary services be given now so there will be no delay in the plans for hospital construction. People of Richmond Hill and the southern part of York County, desperately short of hospital beds, look to their elected municipal council representatives to make sure there are no unnecessary delays in meeting an urgent human need. $50.00 $300 STARTING TIME-8 P.M. FULLCARDTOGO JACKPOT NUMBERS CALLED As tempers rose Mrs. Mona Robertson again vacated the chair and attempted again to have the board reopen the ques- tion of transportation policy. It was then that Mrs. D. Robertson, in the chair temporarily, re- voked the resolution which had been put and carried â€" the sit- uation by that time having be- ‘come so unclear that press rep- ‘resentatives, in a body, had to insist on a declaration as to ‘what had actually happened. The meeting Was tilâ€"en closed 'to press and public, the board going into _a c1_osed sesgiqn. _ During the long and heated session a letter from Hon. J. Robarts, Ontario Minister of Education, was read by Mrs. Thomasson. It pointed out that the school area board had power to provide transportation if it wished and expressed the hope that parents would be able to present their case to the board éfiectiVely. Attendance at schools in the York Central District High School Board's area â€" Rich- mond Hill. Bayview, Thornhill and Woodbridge â€" went up by a smashing 21 per cent when doors opened last week.
