Strictly miscellaneous are these M‘es and comments about automc' ‘les: Don’t be too positive when' you guess at a passing car’s speed. In an Air Force test, even though the participants knew in advance what they were to observe, they judged a car ac- tually going 12 miles per hour at various speeds ranging from 10 to 50 mph. And the Ameri- can Judicature Society says wltnesses to auto accidents are even less likely to guess accur- ately. Body style, noise and col- or all influence estimates of a car's speed. NOTES 8.

Proof that the modern auto- mobile ls driven more than its predecessors of the past three decades is revealed in the fact that while average car life has doubled from seven to 14 years during this time, average car lifetime mileage has quadrupled to 120.000.

Being the occasion of their an- nual Hallowe’en party. the girls, under the direction of Brown Owl Mrs. F. Israel, Tawny Owl Mrs. W. Armstrong, assisted by Guides Debbie Andrews and Jeremy Hill of the 5th Rich- mond Hill Guide Company, soon transformed the room into a hive of industry. With scissors clicking, the busy Brownies clipped and fashioned masks for this festive occasion â€" not only to provide fun â€" but the work also fur- nished useful practice that would prove helpful in tests for badges, later on. Fun and interesting enjoy- ment was had by the playing of games, singing and in the story- telling by Brown Owl Mrs. F. Israel. Refreshments, of course, featured this enjoyable party of the 8th Richmond Hill Brownie Pack. {End Richmond Hill Brownies The regular meeting of the 2nd Richmond Hill Brownie Pack in eron Hall on Monday ‘afternoon, proved to be the largest and most important ev- ent of their whole year.

Redelmeler and Packle Flana- gan. “Golden Bar Brownies" were on hand for this event, acting as hostesses, also making tea, ,toast and cake to gain practice to enable them to pass the “G01- den Hand Test” â€" the highest award for Brownies.

Miss Scott was present. also a number of mothers. brothers and sisters of the Tweenies and Brownies. It was indeed a fit- ting gesture to mark the termin- ‘a-tion of her period of office, when the District Commission- er was presented with a gift from the 2nd Brownie Pack. by Brownie Nicola Crampton (dau- ghter of Brown Owl Mrs. Cramp- ton), who was the first Tweenie to be enrolled by Commissioner Yerex in 1958. 12th Brownie Pack 8th Guide Company “Indian Night" featured thel annual Hallowe'en party held‘ by the 12th Brownie Pack and the 8th Girl Guide Company'of Richmond Hill East on Friday last in Our Lady Help of Chris- tians School, Beverley Acres.

Trustee Interviewed ‘ The report of the finance and general purpose commit-’ tee indicated that Trustee A. Peek, representative of the township on the York Central District High School Board. had discussed the proposed appoint- ment of a superintendent of secondary school education with council members, following sim- ilar presentations given by two other trustees. No opinions were expressed in the commit- tee report although Reeve Al- bert Rutherford, questioned after council meeting. again said that in his opinion the appointment was premature.

"I should like to point ;out that I have again checked with the Ontario Trustees Assoc- iation and I have been assured that there is only one place in the province. outside of the large centres. and comparable to this district. where a super- intendent of education has been appointed. That is Lincoln and Welland." “Certainly North York has a superintendent. but I would like to point out that it has a $19 million outlay and has a board of education. Ottawa has one, but there’s a lot of difference between Ottawa and Richmond Hill." "Another thing. Some mem- bers of the board who are push- ing this appointment the hard- est and who seem bound and de- termined that thev will force it through. have already said that they will not return to the board next year. In view of this isn’t it all the more necessary to ask again â€" why the rush? Other people, if they do not continue, will be taking their places. These are the people who should cer-; tainly be given the opportunity to have something to say about an appointment which affects their administration." "I point out again that it has been said that the appointment will not be effective until Sep- tember, 1962. That is nearly ten months away. Surely there is nlenty of reason for taking time to select the right man." The past week saw further expressions of opinion on the planned appointment of a superintendent of secondary school education by the York Central Dis- trict High School Board, recently approved by the board on a six to five vote. Reeve Albert Rutherford, Vaughan Township, said on Mon- day night after council meeting that his opinion had not chan- ged. The appointment was still premature. Apologizes For Speaker # Exception was taken by Trus- tee Mrs. Kathleen James, Mark- ham Township, to the action of Vice-Chairman John Wilson of the York Central District “iqh School Board who, at the Bay- view High School Commence- ment last Friday. delivered a forty~minute address claiming misrepresentation by the press of the situation regarding the appointment of a superinten- dent of secondary school edu- cation. "It was a poor perform- ance." said Mrs. James. “It was rude to the guest speaker, whose time was taken up by having to listen to a harangue which con- cerned a local matter. It was a pity that the big night for stud- ents and their parents had to be spoiled by such a display. Mr. Wilson certainly has the right to express his opinions but this was neither the time or the place. I cannot of course speak for the whole board but as one trustee I can certainly apologize to all those who were embar- rassed by the performance." Taxpayer' Opinion From 1: Markham Township taxpayer came a lengthy com- ment in the form of a "Letter to the Editor". Norman 5. Hall of 58 Steeles Avenue East, Markham Township, wrote: “It is being hinted that York Central High School Dls- trict has a poor board. How-‘ ever, it is obvious to all how carefully they planned our fac- ilities. Moreover, the progress made by our graduates and the high regard in which our tea- chers are held indicates our board has served us well in ob- taining a good staff. “This year at both federal and orovincial meetings leading ed- uca-tionists reportedly warned against overloading with super- visors. "A member of our board who has queried why the teachers' federation had recently rated the board lower than others of- ?ered no specific reason. Appar- ently relationships could be im- proved.

It was unrealistic and unenforceable, councillors declared. They also decided to ask the public school board for more information re- garding a written request to have the speed limit on one street reduced to five miles an hour. “An ordinary person walks at four miles an hour," said one councillor. “Despite this the board is on “An eyebrow-lifter is the sug-‘ gested remuneration of $20,000‘ per annum. The appointee would automatically be entitled to an office. with size. location, dec- oration. furnishings and equip- ment superior to other board employees. A secretary and all conceivable secretarial aids would follow. "The York Central District} High School Board has staff en- ough to handle a far bigger busi- ness than it is operating,” for- mer York County Warden Will- iam L. Clark said to “The Lib- eral" this week in commenting on the proposed appointment of a superintendent of education to look after the board's four schools. “I wonder what the hurry is."

Considering Board as well as being warden of the county in 1960. Richmond Hill Town Council, on the suggestion of Mayor James Haggart, will look into the board of education system, which would bring both public and high schools under one gov- erning body â€" that body being an elected one and responsible directly to taxpayers.
