Home and School A last-ditch effort to revive the interest of the parents of Oak Ridges school children paid off and the home and school association is again thriving. Lying dormant for nearly two years, a meeting called during December to discuss re-organi- zation met with a small attend- ance. Held on January 15th, the second meeting was attended by 75 parents. At least half were fathers (an unusual tact indeed as most home and school groups consist predominantly of moth- ers.) Elections were held and the‘ following executive has been‘ elected to office: Mrs. E.

Beginning his second year as village trustee, Mr. O’Reilly was chosen public utilities commissioner. Two new trustees were named commissioners, Mr. Robert Berwick to supervise works and sidewalks, and . Mr. James Sim, public protection and fire department. i i i l i ! Own Hydro Operation Is Expected By Summer, Village Trustees Told Inaugural Meeting Hears Many Speakers Mr. O’Reilly told the thirty men and women present 1962 was likely to be a busy year, with much work to be done on the local scene. He noted a mile and a half of old sidewalks were ‘in bad repair and need re-surfacing." He spoke of water as being “an urgent problem. We didn't have the success needed to provide another well." The chairman outlined suffic- ient water supply was needed “for normal growth and what- ever development takes place." Hydro By Summer Mr. O'Reilly said, “We expect by summer we will be operating our own hydro." He favored releasing consultants' reports shortly “to the public who cer- tainly paid>£or them." Commenting on the extension to the fire hall, he saidh “This modest building is an asset to the village and a tribute to the work of 1961 trustees.“ Trustees voted to continue holding meetings the second and fourth Monday evenings each month at the fire hall and the second Monday in December.‘ ihsurance of $15,000 on the new part of the building was approved. Six former village trustees gave messages of congratulation, including Ronald Bolton, D. M. Findlay, John Dew, Warren Mc- Kendry and Mrs. Irving Scott. “rr“ - vi" The secretary was instructed to arrange a meeting among trustees, consultants and Inter- national Water Supply repres- entatives regarding the advis- ability of re-drilling a test site in search of water.

A three-tway tie for second occurred when the Un- touchables failed to add to their 27 point total of last week, and the Roughriders, who were in second place added two to their 25 points, and fourth place Blowers gained 7 points to their 20. Also on a gain of 7 the Screwballs jumped up from fifth place to third and now to- tal 26. Bill's Bouncers failed to add to their score of 23 points and thus drop back one notch from third to fourth. Another three-way tie occurs for fifth: place as the Skunks dropped? from fourth, despite their 2- point gain, and the Hillbillies gain one place picking up five points on the way and the Bron- cos jumped up from seventh The letter continued, “This improvement was considered at that time to be only a tempor- ary expedient as there is no practical way to reduce the grades to statutory limits with- out going to considerable ex- Ipense. elevation places the slope of the track opposite to the slope of the approach, thereby creating an abrupt change in grade at track level." grades and the railway reduced its track super elevation from 4% inches to 2 inches and re- duced the speed of trains from “In 1959 certain improvements were made to the approach 60 per houâ€"r to 50 miles per hour in an effort to reduce the abrupt ghange in gradef' “Also, a further reductiun in the upper elevation of the track is not possible without the railway incurring a very re- strictive speed penalty." “The level portion of the partment “seven to elght years." roadway over the track could be Mr. Sim considered, “I don't lengthened but the work would think there's another in Ontario increase the gradient on buih as well equipped as ours.” approaches of the roadway.” _ V_“If wehcan cut costs, I will; “The bo‘ard is aware of the problem at this location and it is understood that the munic- ipality is considering the pos- sibility of a grade separation." “The road authority have er- ected signs on both sides of the crossing and about 25 feet from the track. These signs read, “floats cannot cross track.” “It would appear that these signs are the only warning to floats or other low slung ve- hicles and the operator has no opportunity to seek an alterna- tive rqute befare crossing the track."

Mr. Ted Digel of Lake Marie And King Athletic Association said, “I hope the new trustees will consider the proposals we made to trustees last year, so we may have a better park for the people." other routes Mr. Mervyn Long expressed amazement so few people of a population of 1.700 attended trustees‘ meetings. He urged more interest be shown. “Back- biting is not good to any com- munity. There can be progress when problems are talked out with trustees." Another ratepayer protested “too many commercial signs" ‘and was told by Mr. John Robb ;the recently-erected sign near ‘the main intersection was com- ing down. King Township Building In- spector Donald McCallum ex- plained permits were in order for the erection of signs. Mr. McLeod pointed out the land use by-law called for clarifica- tion and considered it ambigu- ous at present regarding signs.
