A break in the water system in the Crosby Ave. area last Thursday night almost caused a water short- age in the neighborhood. On Friday night at 11.30 the water supply for the area was cut off for a short time to ensure an adequate supply for fire protection. According to Works Com- missioner Otto Whalen, such an underground break is hard to locate and the works department still was not sure the problem had been solved Tuesday mom- ing. n (Photo by Légerquist) *Changes In Principals \At Eiementary Schools A major shuffle in the Rich- preparations for the ceremon- mond Hill Public School sys- ies, according to Assistant Prin- tem sees one principal leaving cipal Peter Ross. to go back to school, another Mr. Rose. who was seated at mOVing Within the System, and the front of the auditorium on a third mOVing in from another a throne. was serenaded with community two student compositions ded- In one move Principal G.

Heavton, attendance counsel- lor for East York. School boards in Rich- mond Hill, Vaughan and Markham Townships may hire a full time, trained, tnuant officer. according to Trustee I. Worrell, chair- man of the Richmond Hill Public School Board Educa- tion Committee. The role of such an of- ficial would be to not only control truancy but to offer solutions for problem sit- uations. In East York, Mr. Keaton was responsible for issuing employment cert- ificates, home permits and transfers to trade and bus- iness schools.

Time spent on solving minor related problems might be better spent on form- ulating the overall official plan, he told the meeting. To Start Next Year Score Progress‘ 0f Richmond Hill Planning Chief Council is disappointed in the lack of progress by the Richmond Hill Planning Board said Mayor James Haggart at a board meeting Tuesday night. According to Mr. Deeks. the various problems of planning are so inter-related that attack- in-g one problem is time can- summg. 7 At Sresenvt. Mr. Deeks is still working on a survey of existing conditions Mayor Hauggart stated that there should be no difficulty in ghtgining information from any of these officials and promised that pressure would be placed to ensure their co-operation. Mayor Haxglgavt asked why after six months, this survey was still far from complete. Mr. Deeks said that detail and the necessity of obtaining intorm‘ation from other depart- ments of local government hampered him. He listed clerk, assessment commissioner, works commiss- ioner, and business administra- tors of local school boards as people who would have to fur- nish him with information. The question of an official plan came to a head as the board faced a decision on the question of providing services for the new York Central Hos- pital. Building of the nevy hos- pital has already begun on the Maple Sideroad. According to an engineer's report brought up at council there were two ways of provid- ing services for the hospital. A temporary expansion of facil- itlos at the present sewage plant would cost $85,000. Building of a new sewage plant would cost two- million dollars. Such a plant could ser- vice other possible future de- velopment-s. Mayor Ha-ggart does not want the town to spend $85,000 this year on a temporary setup, only to have to spend two million dollars on a new sewage plant in the near future to service developments on annexed land. Mr. Deeks wamed the board that it would be unwise on their part to make any decisions on facilities until he had come up with an official plan. Beginning of construction on the new hospital put the board in a position where it would have to come up with some kind of a recommendation on the matter soon, Mr. Havglgart tsaidi Estimate Boost In School Grants To Climb Over $140,000 Mark (Continued on Page G.

The area is bounded by Car- rville Road and 16th Avenue on the north. the CNR bypass on the south, Bathurst Street on the west and Bayview Ave. on the east. Mr. Willis also announced that letter carrier delivery from Richmond Hill would be lextended to people now calling for their mail at the Yongehurst Post Office. To Spend $2,103.25 On Sport's Equipment Richmond Hill Public School Board has agreed to spend some $2,103.25 on furnishing better sports facilities at four of its schools. Estimated costs would be $761.60 at Beverley Acres. $575 at Walter Scott, $558 at McCon- aghy and $208.65 at Crosby Heights A twister failed to interrupt the 25th wedding anniversary of a Mark- ham Township couple Sunday.

Ashworth. business ad- ministrator for the York Central District High School Board, said: “It is reassuring to know that money is being provided to implement the new second- ary school plan which comes into effect this September." Increased per-pupil grants for vocational, high school academic and elementary schools, announced this week by Premier John Robarts, will pour an es- timated additional $141,950 into district school board coffers. He said that all boards have been concerned w1¢h the cost of vocational education which amounts to over 50 per cent more than academic. The ad- ministrator estimated the cost at $600 per year for an academ- ic student compared to about $1,000 for a vocational pupil. Grants will range from $20 to $40 for over 14,000 students expected to enrol in area schools next Septem- ber; 11,165 elementary; 2,650 high school academic and 525 technical and vocational. “Although the grants are a greai help, they will not begin to carry the extra cost involved in vocational and technical ed- ucation,” Mr. Ashworth said. “The board welcomes any fin- ancial assistance given by the‘ govemment and you can ‘ assured that it will certainly help to defray part of the ris- ing school costs we are faced with," he said. Other area education ofiic- ia‘ls expressed similar enthus- iasm. W. J. McLeod, school inspect- or for King Township public schools, said the increased el- ementary grants would provide additional services for township schools. He predicted a reduction in you-n the local tax levy next year Stew and said it should take some of they General contractors in charge of construc- tion are the well known Canadian firm of Angus Robertson Company and target date for comple- tion is late in 1963.

Station Robbery A Toronto youth has been changed and convicted in con- nection with a break-1n Friday night at a Markham Township service station. Douglas Stevens, 20, convict- ed of breaking, entering and possession of stolen goods, was remanded one week for semu ence when he appeared before Magistrate Pearce in Markham Police Court Tuesday. The break-in took place at the service station of James Mc- Quay on Don Mills Road, south of Highway 7. Constables A. McCa-gue and R. Kelly of Markham Town- ship Police were not aware of the break-in when they stopped a car in which Stevens was rid- ing on Don Mills Road. When they found a quantity of cig- arettes, spark plugs and oil in the car. they investigated fur ther and found that the McQu-ay firm had been robbed. According to Sgt. Cox of Markham Township Police, five young people in the car with Stevens were also charged but they were later withdrawn. Continued on Page 3) SINGLE COPY 10c
