About two fears-ago when the need of hospital beds was first discussed at a public meeting the building of a new hospital here looked like an al- most insurmountable task. A pro- visional committee was appointed and later the York Central Hospital Association organized and a charter obtained. Under the able and out- standing leadership of Chairman D. H. Storms the trustees set about the job of planning for building, equip- ping and financing. The new hospital will fill a long- felt need in an area where for too long we have neglected to make ade- quate provision for care of the sick and injured. The start of building operations on the beautiful site on Vaughan Road climaxes more than two years of hard work by those who have sponsored the project. D. H. Storms, trustee board chairman in his annual report stated that arrangements now are com- pleted for financing the construction and equipping of the new hospital which at the outset will have 126 beds but is built for expansion and eventually will have several hundred additional. This along with the ex- pansion program now under way at Newmarket will relieve the critical shortage of hospital beds existing in York County. The annual meeting of the York Central Hospital Association held in Richmond Hill last week brought most encouraging and welcome news to the people of this part of York County. The contract has been let and a start made on the new hospital to serve this district. In one of the earliest announce- ments on record Robert Saunders, 28, has made public his intention to seek a seat on town council in the December voting. A young family man, Mr. Saunders, resides on Ben- ~ on Avenue and comes well recom- Spended for public life. During the past 10 years he has been associated With the municipal staffs in both Vaughan Township and the Town of Newmarket.

One of the most discouraging things in municipal life today is a shortage of citizens who are willing to seek public office and the small number of citizens who bother to turn out election day.

As a result of the combined efforts of the York Coun- ty Hospital Board at Newmarket, the York Central Hospital Association and the county hospital commission, an expansion program is now under way. The new hospital project so far has been successful due to the hard work of the sponsors, the fine co-operation of the members of the medical profession, the York County Council, Ontario Hospital Commis- sion, municipal officials and the good-will and support of the citizens generally. We are sure this same fine spirit of co-operation will con- tinue until the final completion of the project and that the people of the county will respond generously to the appeal for financial support. York County Council after care- ful study and consideration author- ized financing which will take care of 45 per cent of the expenditure on the expansion program in Newmarket and the new hospital at Richmond Hill. This decision of the York Coun- ty Council put the whole hospital program within the realm of reason- able attainment and made possible the additional accommodation which soon will be available to the people. A little over twenty per cent of the total cost still must be raised by public subscription and a campaign is now being organized as a joint effort by the two hospital boards. There is a general appreciation of the critical situation now existing and we have no doubt at all about the success of the campaign. York County citizens through the years have met challenging situ- ations in times of war and in times of peace. They never have failed to measure up to the needs of the time and we have every confidence that the hospital drive will be _successful. The suburban communities are facing many complex problems today. There is no easy, stock answers to the mulititude of problems that beg sol- ution. Local government today needs trained minds and steady hands. The curse of conflict of interest and out- right corruption in government re- sults when men and women don’t care enough to find out who is hand- ling their public business. sacrifice of entering public life. Our whole democratic way f life is pre- dicated on a vigorous wealthy elect- orate and the willingness of all our citizens. when called on, to assume the high calling of political o'ffice. In the months between now and nomination day in November we hope men and women everywhere will fol- low the lead of Robert Saunders and offer themselves for public office.

'U |. h‘ 10c single copy The Children’s Aid Society of Metropolitan Torr oronto arose from foundations based on firm convic- tions. They believe that a child’s home'is best for him, if it is reasonably satisfactory and secure. A child’s faith in himself comes first of all from his feelings toward his own parents. They believe also . . . that regardless of what they have done or failed to do, parents should be accepted as individuals hav- ing dignity and worth. But . . . and this is more im- portant . . . they believe too . . . that every child has a right to a home where he can be loved and where he can learn someday to take his place as a respon- sible Canadian citizen. ,4. _., __ . , WWII-nu." The Children’s Aid of Metropolitan Toronto fol- low up these beliefs and bring them to pass in the following ways. They follow up all reports of neglect concerning non-Catholic children in the community. (Children of Roman Catholic faith are cared for by; the Catholic Children’s Aid Society.) They often‘ find families living under the stress of serious probâ€" lems, such as mental or physical illness, bad housing, loss of income, and other social or moral handicaps. When these conditions lead to situations where-child- ren are neglected, their services become necessary. Referrals are frequently made to other community organizations in an effort to keep families together wherever possible. Through the Juvenile and Family Court of Met- ropolitan Toronto, they may be entrusted with the guardianship of children whose parents‘are unable to care for them. Their primary concern, however, is to keep a child in his own home wherever possible. Most of the children in this Society’s care are placed in foster boarding homes, which have been investi- gated and approved by their Home-Finding Services. Meanwhile, the agency may be working toward reun- iting the family. When the child has become perman- ently separated from his family, the foster home maiy be a temporary arrangement to prepare the chi d for adoption. Some children may be physically and mentally handicapped to an extent where adop- tion is considered unwise, long-term foster homes provide the_necessary security and stability. 1|, Some children have been so seriously affected by their unhappy experiences in life that they cannot get along in their own home or in a foster home. The Children’s Aid has two small institutions which pro- vide group living under special supervision, and a res- idence on Christie Street for teen-age boys who are working or attending school in the community. A receiving centre is used for, emergency admissions where children may stay until they can decide what is best for them. Their medical, dental, psychological, andpsychiatric services are available to all children in tHeii' care. ‘ The Children’s Aid Society also helps the un- married mother to arrange for accommodation and medical care. They also give counselling both before and after the birth of the child to help the mother plan wisely for her own future and the future of her child. Should she wish, they try to make arrange- ments with the father of the child for financial as- sistance for confinement expenses and maintenance of the child. If court action is indicated they work with her to bring the case before legal authorities. Their counselling services are also available to the father of the child. The Children’s Aid Society also arranges for the adoption of children who have been permanently sep- arated from their parents and for whom this seems the wisest plan. Their aim is to find suitable adopting parents for as many children as possible . . . In this way adopting parents fulfil their desire for a family, and the agency has the satisfaction of knowing that the youngster is placed in a home where he is wanted and loved. The Children’s Aid Society firmly believes that a family of his own is every child’s birthright. In recent years they have placed an increasing num- ber of older children with adopting families. Judy Nicholls, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.l Nicholls, Weldrick Road, in Richmond Hill, is only nineteen years old but she has already found a way of combining two very important jobs at once. She teaches music and has been attending Grade 13 at Thornhill Secondary School. She graduates this June. Thornhill Secondary School has been exceptionally fortunate to have had such a reliable pianist as Judy to help them. She has accompanied the high school orchestra ever since her grade 9 days. In grade 10, she accompanied the school choir as well and has been doing an excellent job for choir and orchestra right along. Judy hopes to get her A.R.C.T. in June: Her first music teachers were Mrs. Rosalind‘ Anderson and Mrs. Harwood (theory teacher) of Richmond Hill. She studied under the following tea- chers from the Royal Conservatory: Miss Jessie Henderson, Constance Martin, and Margaret Miller Brown. Judy has been fortunate with competitions too. In 1960 she won a scholarship in the Kiwanis music festival in the Beethoven class. She entered a C.N.E. competition about three years ago and won a gold medal and scholarship. Recently she won an award at the K.V.W. Talent Night at King City. Judy has a great sense of community responsibility and she gladly lends her fine musical talent to the church and home and school when needed. This summer she is going to be playing the organ at the Richmond Hill United Church, and at the Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church. Judy has been teaching music. for the last four years. She has 17 pupils and teaches all grades. Some of her pupils won honors at the Woodbridge‘ festival. Next year. Judy plans to attend Teachers" College. but she will continue giving music lessons. Judy Nicholls has carried a heavy séhedule in the field of academics and music, but I believe that this young lady has really got what it takes to be a suc- cess. Talent, technique. and most of all that very necessary ingredient of perseverance. I feel sure that the students that grew up along with her at Thornhill Secondary School will remember Judy Ni- cholls and her wonderful contributim of her musical talent to the school. The northern woods still abound with beautiful“ wild flowers. The pink mocassin has replaced the trillium and the humble cornell or bunchberry has spread a rich carpet through the woodland.
