' I An interesting pomt in the financial report is that such was board that bank interest paid for the year totalled only $4.73. In giving the financial report for the past month, however, Trustee Frost noted that expen- ‘ ditures for the month were $27,832.33 and that it had been necessary to make a bank loan of $25,000.00 to meet these ex- penditures. He stated that it would be necessary to make a bank loan of $25,000.00 each month until the Provincial grants are received in May. Last Wear this bank borrowing had been avoided by transferring money temporarily from capi- tal account to meet current ex- penses, but this year it was not possible to do this. The capital account for Feb- }ruary showed expenses of $23,- 557.00, $8.000 of which was a transfer to general account. A draw of $14,407.00 had been made to the construction com- pany doing the work at Wood- land School. Property Report Trustee McKay, who was aet- ,ing chairman in the absence of Chairman Lionel Frost, reported for the property committee that municipal water had been in- stalled at the 16th Avenue School. The furniture for the Woodland School addition has been ordered and would be rea- dy for the school opening. A promos report had been receivâ€" ed from the architects noting ‘that progress at the Woodland School was satisfactory. As of March 9th, work was 50% com- pleted and the completion date is set for April 30th. More Co-operation , i It was reported that the board lmembers had met with the ,Markham Towuship Planning ;Board on March lst to consider Jtlieir “master plan" for this ar- ea and for Markham Township over the next 20 years. The plan- !ning board agreed to co-oper- ate more closely with the school board and to assist them in ob- taining good school sites. Await Provincial Approval Plans for the extension to the auditorium of the Henderson Avenue School had been sent to ithe Department of Education for approval. The board had not however heard from the De- partment on their approval for the new school in the Wycliffe Subdivision. This school site HAVE YOU NOTICED THE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER ? Spring is here and spring makes people do funny things. One of the things that we notice, is that many a person’s fancy turns to buying a new car. It is something of an annual spring disease, that can be very contagious, and that we heartily approve of. Consequently, because of increased new car sales, we are able to ob- tain some very excellent used cars. These cars are completely checked over, reconditioned and ready to drive away.

Oral French In the absence of Trus- tee Parker, Trustee Aimone gave the report of the edu- cation committee. A lettw of permission from the De- partment of Education had been received for Mrs. France, and permission was granted for the teaching of oral French for the period January 3rd to June 29th. The letter was dated March 6th. “We have been placed in a very embarrassing sit- uation,” stated Trustee Ai- mone. “How can we ask Mrs. France to leave her present job to teach for three months?” It was de- cided to discuss the matter further In committee. In reporting for the health. safety and recreation commit- tee, Trustee Aimone noted that first aid, recommendations had been distributed to each teacher so they would know the correct procedure in dealing with an emergency. Mrs. Aimone also reported that an information sheet had gone out to all par- ents of children at Henderson Avenue School about protecting their children from the flooding in the school area. The classes have made a project of this, in- cluding compositions, letters and posters on the subject. The contractors had reported that the storm sewers on Proctor Avenue would move along about fifty feet per day and would be completed by the end of this week. Trustee Aimone reported that due to the bad road conditions in the past month. the official opening of the 16th Avenue School had been delayed and it would be held on April 30th. Salary Schedule Correspondence received by the board included «a letter from the teachers stating that they were pleased to accept the board’s new salary schedule. The new salary schedule com- pares very favourably with Metro salaries. It provides for 51): categories Pre-category (teachers having permit or let- ter of standing to teach in On- tario) beginning with a mini- mum of $2,800.00 to a maximum of $4,300.00; Category I, $3,300 to $5,400; Category II, $3,600 to $6,300; Category III, $3,900 to $6.900; Category IV (B.A.) $4,- or M.A.) $4,600 to $8,100. In addition, the schedule al- lows increments of $200.00 per year for approved teaching ex- perience, up to six years. Fur- 'for special class teachers, $200 , per year for assistant principals, principals of 8-11 room schools and $1,600 per year for princi ‘pals of 12 room schools and up. ,Payment of salary may be on a t10-ll‘lOI‘th or 12-month basis as requested by the teacher. The I has a cumulative :Sle leave plan and a retire- :ment gratuity plan. A letter from Markham Town- Board of Transport has recom- bell. The question of possible §committee to be considered at ll their next meeting. "plained that cars were using the right of way on Elgin Streeyt driving to the rink and damage had been done. The letter sug- l l “cl-rising principal, Mr. Sand, iadVised that Markham Townâ€" install}: it until the frost is out of the’ ground. Supervising Principal Sands report indicated an attendance average of 91.96% during Feb- ruary. with a total enrollment of 1.111. “There has been a lot: have been this month than I can recall”. Library Mrs. Constance Anderson who that the appeal be made but wondered if the work that is being done by the Red Cross could be brought more forcibly to the attention of the childrcni Trustee McKay suggested that, this could be the subject of a project so the children could become aware of the work be- ing done by this organization. Both Woodland and Hender- son Avenue Home and School Associations had observers at the meeting. Mr. E. J. Lynch, representing the Grandview Es- tates Ratepayers‘ Association was also present as an observer. commence his duties on August lst instead of September lst. Trustee Robert Endean, re- porting for the property com- mittee, said that the plumbing contract for the Bayvicw High School had been awarded to George Kelson of Thornhhill at $155,000. Principals Report Principals of the schools In the system reported. Principal Wright Morrow of Richmond Hill said that there had been a 93.2 per cent attendance dur- ing the month. He asked the board to finance the home Helps Keep Home Fires Burning ‘the Ontario College of Educ- ation at the present time. He had had between fifty and sixty applications for positions. Inspect Equipment The school board held Its meeting at Tliornhill school, in- specting various pieces of print- ing and copying equipment. Some of the latter will be em- ployed for printing tickets, re- port cards, commencement pro- grams and similar items. TRY A "LIBERAL" CLASSIFIED TU. 4-1105 AV. 5-3316 Add Manufacturing OI Fireplaces To Catalogue OI Hill's Products nine years. The name belies the trade because the company does no enamelling whatsoever, but in- stead is the sole manufacturer of the Acorn line of fireplaces for Canada. These fireplaces are not familiar masonry units but smaller ones, constructed of heavy gauge steel and design- ed for use in cottages, recreat- ion rooms, patios or anywhere a low-cost, practical heating in- stallation is wanted. The operation is now in the hands of Ian Macdonald of in-law R. O. Langmuir, although when the business was first started in Toronto in 1953, it was under the direction of J. E. D. Stuart of Toronto. i The progress of the firm,‘ which employs five people,; since it was taken over by the, present owners in 1957 has been‘ startling. In the first six months} of production, the business said as many units as the previous‘ owners had in four years. In 1961 the company experienced a 25% sales increasepver 1960, and sales to date have already gone past the mark for the same, time last year although this time‘ of year is considered the low period. The firm does not sell directly, to the consumer but to such outlets as Eatons and Simpsons,‘ hardware stores and builders; suppliers. Prices for the threej models of the fireplaces range from $40. to about $100. This is the first year the firm, has done its own manufacturing. In previous years the company had the units assembled by, various manufacturers, but with the purchase of about $12,000 of new equipment late last year,‘ the complete operation was able‘ to be carried on in the compâ€"‘ any's own shop. There are about‘ five steps in the construction of’ an Acorn. First the various components of the unit have to be cut to shape. These are then moulded on a multiâ€"purpose press that doubles as a punch for cutting the holes for the chimney. After that, the unit; which has now begun to take the shape of the finished product, is welded together. The fireplace- then goes through a series ofi cleaning and smoothing oper-| ations before it is ready for painting. The only operation not carried out at the Industrial Road plant is the enamelling of some of the more expenive mod- els. These ones. which have a porcelain finish available in three different colours, are sent to Toronto for the enamelling because the Richmond Hill shop doesn't have the equipment for such an operation.

Richmond Hill and his brother- . By Larry Emrick Another new manufacturing business has recently started production in Richmond Hill. Although Stuart Enamelled Products has only been in operation on Industrial Road since January, the business can hardly be called new except in the sense that it’s. new to the Hill. Actual production of the Acorn fireplace, the business’ primary line, has been carried out for the past which some parts are imported from England since 1958. This unit is used for providing safe drinking water for summer hotels, inns, summer camps and motels and is also available in a portable unit. The Sterasyl filters all solid particles and kills bacteria found in water by the action of minute quantities of silver, found in the cylinder through which the water passes. One feature of the unit is that it does not leave a chemical taste in the water. The only operation carried out in the plant is the assembly of the various components of the purifier, and , as with the fire- places, Stuart selis to retailers rather than directly to the con- sumer. Lack 0! Skilled Men Although the number of op- erations in the complete con- struction of one of the Acorn units is small, and as a result not many tradesmen are needed in the business, Mr. Macdonald said that it was difficult to find skilled persons in the particular operations involved in their manufacture living in the Rich- mond Hill district. He intimated that in an industrial town the size of Richmond Hill an em- ployment agency would be a definite asset to the manufact- urers. At the present time the firm employs five people, two of whom are not living in the Hill.
