|2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Octpber 11. 1962 A Step In The Right Direclion School Boards Should Remain Autonomous Dr. John P. Wilson and Mrs. Wil- son are celebrating their Golden Wed- ding Anniversary. The Wilsons have been a part of the life of this com- munity for more than four decades. Dr. Wilson has spent a lifetime of service in the medical profession, and succeeding generations of Richmond Hill families have known him as their family doctor. The life of a general practitioner is not an easy one. Dr. Wilson, in his own quiet, kindly, un- assuming way, has never spared him- self in his efforts to alleviate the suffering of, others_._ â€"_.. _- _..:, ~- V In addition to his medical career, Dr. Wilson has a distinguished record of community service.

According to Premier John Roberts the idea wa conceived from a recommendation made by the Tourist Industry Committee of the Ontario Economic Council. Made-in-Ontario souvenirs will in the near future be available in great_er varieiy grid numbers. . The provincial government in an attempt to stimulate the souvenir in- dustry will sponsor an exhibition next spring. A competition open to both professional and amateur artists will also be held to encourage the produc- tion of new souvenirs characteristic of the province. “Tourists visiting Ontario want souvenirs which are both made in, and characteristic of, our province," said Mr. Robarts. “We have individ- uals and companies capable of making such souvenirs and we certainly have a. million dollar demand for them,” he observed. Commenting on the scheduled exhibition, William H. Cranston, well- known newspaper publisher and chairman of the Tourist Industry Committee said it will not merely be a display but an actual sales market for t_h_e placing of orders. _ _ It is true that the cost of edu- cating children has been responsible for a large proportion of the rise â€" and, there is little the councils con- cerned can do about it. in: vital sap into trunk and root and cut off circulation to the leaves. With no new chlorophyll, that magic green pigment which enables the leaves to make sugar from air, moisture and sunlight, the leaves begin to fade. As the old chlorophyll disintegrates, yellow pigments which were there all the time become visible. They produce the brilliant yellows of sugar maples. bitches and all their kindred. Mr. Cranaton expressed the hope that in, the future at least half of the souvenirs sold to tourists visiting this rovince will bear the imprint “Craf- ed in Ontario". Councils, when criticized for ris- in: tax rates, are prone to point the finger of responsibility at the school boards.

Every year the legendary figure of Jack Frost and his magic paintpot is revived when the color begins to come to the woodland. But early, hard frost is an enemy, not a friend, of the color. Sunlight, not frost, is the vital agent. In some cases councils which hava refused the money requested by school boards have capitulated when faced with lengthy litigation and pos- sible jail terms. Some municipal councillors advop cute greater control by their body of school board budgets. A word of warning to these has been issued by Pete M. Muir, executive director of the ntario School Trustees Council in a panel discussion at the annual convention of the Canadian School An Independent Weekly: Established 1873 4 \â€"â€"â€"â€"-/\‘ @u L .& Subscription Rate $8.50 per year; to United States $4.50; 10c single copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

Prior to the estab- lishment of the county-wide health unit, Dr. Wilson was M.O.H. of Rich- mond Hill. He was a charter member and past president of the local Lions' Club and served as a member of town council from 1940 to 1942. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson have raised a fine family of four children. One son, Eric, paid the supreme sacrifice during the second world war. Consultant to the tourist com- mittee in conjunction with the sou- venir and handicraft exhibition and competition will be Thors Hanaen. art director of the British American Oil Co., and outstanding authority in Canadian folk art and design. An increase in the production of souvenirs will naturally bring with it a. decrease in the present unemploy- ment facing the province. Genuine Ontario-made souvenirs will not only provide more jobs, they will by their craftsmanship, provide the best pos- sible radveljtising. _ The revenue from Ontario's mul- tiâ€"miilion dollar tourist trade is cer- tainly substantial and the govern- ment’s scheme to further the souven- ir industry, propitious. Skilful replicas of Canadian sou- venirs bearing the imprint “Made in Japan”, must be a source of disap- pomtment to tourists wishing to take home with them, a. reminder of their vacation. But the greatest percen- tage of souVenirs in the lower price brackets are not made in Canada, but impo_r_ted fgom Japan. Thus the government is not only adding a stimulus to visitors by of- fering Canadian craftmanship as well as garnering more dollars from sou- venir purchases, they are furthering the gowthpf new Qntariqindqstriesz The forthcoming exhibition of Ontario produced souvenirs and the proposed competition are certainly a step in the right direction.

He likened such councillors to a dog chasing a locomotive and raised the question, “What will the dog do with it if he catches it '2" Mr. Muir said the increasing friction in some areas between mun- icipal councils and school boards over the latter’s budgets was largely in- spired by politicians on both sides wanting publicity to further their public careers. This Weakened local government and invited Provincial government interference, he said. Meanwhile, sugars left in the leaves of other trees when they were sealed off begin to oxidize in the sunlight. They become pigments called xantho- phyll and anthocyanin, reds, blues and purples. They produce the fiery leaves of swamp maples and dog- woods. the deep reds and purples of oaks. Early frost interrupts both these processes and turns the leaves sore and drab. Cool nights and bright, sunny days hasten the processes and enhance the colors. That is why On- tario, with its sunny autumn days, is one of the most vivid color areas in the world. The only way Jack Frost helps is by staying away until the sunlight has created the color. Or, if he must come, by tripping lightly. To have control of education ves- ted in the municipal council to avoid the division of responsibility and con- flict of interest is impractical, Mr. Muir said. The trouble with this. in the opinion of Mr. Muir and other delegates, is that government of the schools demands special interest and knowledge. Ottawa" DEPLORES LACK OF INDUSâ€" TRIAL ASSESSMENT IN RICHMOND HILL Dear Mr. Editor I find the recent wproar over convention expenses very amus- ing. They are, at the moment, the least of our worries. Why not be irate over the building per- mits being issued for more sub- divisions? The residential and industrial ratio is ridiculous‘ now. Why are the town fathers‘ making it more so? The indus- trial customers are looking, but they have to be sold. I am afraid our elected representa- tives are poor salesmen. It comes right back to us, the tax- payer. With the apathy in this town, we get the politicians we deserve. As you may already know, the Junior Red Cross is a recognized in-school programme in all ten Canâ€" adian provinces. Its membership stands at nearly one-and-a-half million in over 43,000 elementary, jun- ior high and senior highschool classroom branches. All administration costs of the Junior Red Cross are borne by the Canadian Red Cross Society. All funds raised through the various school fund-raising pro- jects are devoted entirely to carrying on humanitar- ian work for youth at home and abroad. To foster international friendship and under- standing, the young Canadians in Junior Red Cross exahanged paintings, albums, handicrafts and tape recordings with their counterparts in other countries in 1961. Funds were paid for heart surgery, special drugs, eye glasses, hearing aids, dental care, wheel chairs, orthopedic appliances and many other needs. The children of the Junior Red Cross are sensitive to the needs of others and they meet this need gladly by dropping their spare dimes in the “Red Cross Jar” of their respective classroom. THE BUREAU IS HERE TO BE USED â€" USE IT DICK EDMUNDS The bureau carries on many activities. Four times a year the bureau furnishes an article on some form of music to the papers. The articles are contributed free to the bureau by an authority on the subject discussed. The bureau takes an active part in organ- izing music competitions. It co-operates with the Canadian Federation of Music Festivals but leaves it to the local organizing committee to decide if it wishes to affiliate or not. The bureau operates the music festival at the ONE each year. The first week in May is set aside as music week. The bureau helps the communities by helping to organize various mu- sic committees in a very real way. In all provinces music is included in the elementary school curricu- lum, therefore it is not now necessary for the bureau to sell this idea . . . nevertheless the bureau stands ready to assist in every way possible. One of the features in which the bureau takes a tremendous interest is the teaching of Violin, Brass or Woodwind instruments in the schools. It stands ready to assist in this type of organization at all times. The bureau also makes itself responsible for class instruction in piano. Thorough instruction by qualified and specially trained teachers is offered in piano, regardless of fi- nancial circumstance, to every boy and girl who de- sires it. The bureau takes responsibility for these classes in every province in Canada. The bureau also assists in forming bands and orchestras in communâ€" ities. It also maintains a list of speakers available, to speak on the subject of music in its various forms and fields. The services of these speakers are availâ€" able to schools and related organizations. Service clubs, churches. etc., in some cases free, except for out of pocket expenses . . . in others for a relatively nominal fee. The Canadian Bureau for the Advancement of Music was organized in 1919 through the efforts of General Sir Arthur Currie G.C.M.G., K.C.B. and with the full approval of the Department of Education. the bureau exists to promote the following object- ives. Its main purpose is to advance the interest of music in Canada and develop the study and apprecia- tion of music for its educational and stimulating value in life by: (A) Covoperation with such agencies as the press educationalists, and all others interested in musicai advancement. (B) By such other means as may be provided for from time to time by the By-Iaws of the bureau. Be- sides these official Objects its primary effort is to introduce the young to music; to the teen-agar and adult the beauty of music and the opportunity for appreciation and to the older folk the knoWledge that it is still possible to play an instrument, age being no deterrent. Every emotion to which the hu- man is subject is afiected by music . . . the filling of leisure time with a study of music serves to offset the formation of bad habits. It is said “Teach a boy to blow a horn and he will never blow a safe." Anyone who would like to avail themselves of the benefits of this bureau can get in touch with . . . R.

Have you ever made a mistake in assuming that the Department of Forestry in Richmond Hill had something in common with the Department of Lands and Forests at Maple? Forestry and Forests sound alike but the fact is that the Department of Forestry is a branch of the Federal Government and the De- partment of Lands and Forests is a branch of the Provincial Government. Mr. A. B. Vincent. of the Ontario District Office of the Department of Fores- try, Richmond Hill, said he would appreciate it very much if the public would learn to distinguish between the two bodies. Especially in the matter of correct phone numbers. He suggests that if people want to get in touch with the Department of Lands and For- ests at Maple, they should call AV. 5-1171. On the other_han_d if it is the Department of Forestry. they should call AV. 5-3923. Everything the bureau does, or is prepared to do, is undertaken without cost to local persons con- cerned. The bureau’s finances are taken care of by interested friends, commercial houses and grants- in-aids. The bureau stands ready to give assistance in any field of music and the office is always open for consultation and advice. ‘Dear Mr. Editor ” WHAT THE “RED CROSS JAR” DOES TO HELP OTHERS Mrs. A.
