CLARK STEWART RUMBLE COUNCILLOR WARD COUNCILLOR WARD 2 The Best Interests Of The Electors ELECT A report prepared by Mr. Rob- erts indicated that .up to Octo- ber 15th the village had spent a total of $518.40 in wages for the men to keep the grass cut at the pond. To keep it out once a week costs the village approx-‘ lmately $21.60 per week in la~ bour costs. The time spent clearing the pond of snow last winter coat the village $658.00; bringing the total cost for the year to $1,186.00. Chairman Timmina pointed out that the pond lay outside the village limits and was owned by the conservation authority. He stated that he was aware that there had originally been some arrangement about the village being responsible for the main- tenance of the pond but had been unable to locate any agree- ment to confirm this. the position at the village in respect to the maintenance of the pond be clarified. Councillor Alan Sumner 0!!

Chairman Timxmins point- ed out that the trustees are not Authorized to make a charge but Area. The pond is a refuge for a var- iety of birds, bitterns, grerbes, When the question of grants to the authority was raised, Mr. Higgs pointed out that the au- thority did not get grants for the maintenance of any of its projects. They have three such community projects, Oakbank, "What would happen if neith- er Vaughan Township or Thorn- hlll looked after the pond?" questioned Chairman Timmlns. History 13 Detailed ’ “The author-icy would have to abandon it," replied Mr. Higgs. MrfSaurioI read a report. outlining the history of the pond. In response to g petition When I get half-way down the street and wonder if I turned off the electric stove or unplugged the ‘ electric iron I can get very apprehensive. In my conscious mind I know I have, but that little gremlin of doubt that exists in my imagination tells me . . . I haven’t. Many people are worrying about the pos- sibility of the hydrogen bomb. They talk and dream about it. They live in a world of imaginative disaster. What if the car breaks down? What if I lose my job? What if I fail at school? What if it snows? What if I get sick and die? What if I'm too early? What if I’m too late? What if I miss the bus or forget my train tickets? Nothing can convince me that every- thing isn’t conspiring to frustrate me. Someone has said who has suffered from an apprehensive mind, “I’ve had many and severe troubles in my life,” she said, “but most of them never happened." We are like “Henny Penny" who was always looking for the sky to fall on her, and the person who walks along a dark and lonely road imagines that there is lurking danger behind every bush and tree. Yet we know that these fears are not worthless. Experience teaches us that it is not the things we fear that come to pass but the I things we do not think about. The bolt comes from H the blue. enquired whether it would be feasible to make some such ar- rangements such as selling sea- son tickets or day tags to the skaters, but doing it in the name of the Authority. Mr. Sauriol thought this would be possible but suggest- ed that it should be made clear to the children that the money was being raised to maintain the pond for them. He pointed out however that the schemes of the authority were for all the peop- le. “it we set this up and invit- ed all the people of Metropoli- tan Toronto in. your residents would complain". It was sug- gested that if the trustees did formulate some plan they should put it in writing and send it to the advisory board oil the conservation authority for approval.

Noting that no satisfaction had been received from Mark- ham Township with respect to the damage done the sidewalk on Yonge St. when watermains were put in, Chairman Timmins undertook to conduct a person- al telephone campaign to the township reeve, councillors and ‘_-l_-‘â€" an 01“ -Ac..- ~A‘.AIA -.. the opinion that in view of the number of people using the pond, they should get a grant for its maintenance from the townships of both Markham and Vaughan. Mr. Higgs stated that Deputy-reeve Jesse Bryson of Vaughan Township Council had intended to come to the meet- ing but had been unable to do 130. He expressed himself as will- ~lng to go with the members of the board of trustees if they made a strong representarion to the council and stated that he thought Vaughan did havn an obligation with respect to the pond.

R. 1 Todmorden, Librarian- in-charge of Thornhill Library since 1954 has really no problems at all. She enjoys her work as a librarian and the people who come to visit the library.‘ Jane thinks that the patrons of the library are a very con- scientious lot, for the books, in the majority of cases, are returned in good condition. If she has a wish, it is for more people to take advantage of their local library. She said that special requests for books not in the library, could be obtained through the Inter Library Loan, and that the Thornhill Library Board tries to procure as many of the latest books as they can afford. In general, all the books enjoy a very good circulation. Miss McLaren and her helpers at the library are thrilled because the Provincial Library Services thought enough of the Thornhill Library Board to give them a special grant of $100. This quote is from a letter accompanying the grant. “This is a special grant to the library board which works 'for higher library standards through co-operation with other boards.” No wonder Jane McLaren is proud! The afternoon of this interview, the books from the travelling library arrived from the Provincial Library Services. What excitement these library folk have when they unpack new books! Miss McLaren wishes to acknowledge publicly her gratitude to the Thom- hill Lions Club who have increased their yearly $100 to $150 for the purchase of children's books. “I would like to give a special thanks to Miss Hazel Welsh of Centre Street," said Miss McLaren, “on behalf of the library, for donating the two lovely lanterns to illum- inate the entrance to the Thornhill Library. Thank you very much, Miss Welsh." CHILDREN’S AID - ONE OF THE OLDEST WELFARE AGENCIES IN THE WORLD The Children’s Aid Society of Metropolitan Tor- onto, is one of the largest welfare agencies in Canada, and one of the oldest in the world. Their tradition of service dates back as far as 1875 when a committee of women of the City of Toronto met to establish an institution for the care of destitute children and un- wed mothers. It was called the Infant’s Home. In 1887, a Toronto Humane Society was organized as a result of a vigorous child protection campaign by Mr. John Kelso, a reporter from the Toronto Globe. It was set up to protect both children and animals. How- ever its dual function proved impractical and in 1891. the Toronto Children’s Aid Society was incorporated with Mr. Kelso as president. In 1893, the name was changed to the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto. In 1951 the two child agencies amalgamated to form the Children’s Aid and Infant Homes of Toronto. When the organizations’ jurisdiction was extended to the Metropolitantarea in January, 1957, it became known as the Children’s Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto. llll-l lufllliuly uuvu-u up...
