The three member commission has tabled an interim report with the leg- islature callim: for the creation of 10 new seats in the Metro area outside of Toronto.

Many times during this holiday season we have heard from friends and neighbours of someone “waiting for a hospital bed”. Sometimes a long delay wait- ing for a hospital bed is not serious, The campaign for funds in the hospital drive now will be resumed after a Christmas recess and it should be the concern of all that the objec- tive be reached quickly. No more important challenge than the United Hospital Appeal will face the people of Richmond Hill and all York County. It is of the most urgent importance that the objective be subscribed fully and quickly. That this should be accomplished should be not only the concern of hospital campaign workers, but the real con- cern of every citizen. ’An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 ogâ€"Jnc 1.

The boundaries of the federal seat were changed by the last federal re- distribution in 1953.

The federal riding ex- :fids from No. 7 Highway on the ‘ uth to Lake Simcoe on the north. An absorbing hobby interest is certainly no “cure-all" for neurotic difficulties, offering at best only tem- porary surcease. However. for many millions of individuals experiencing the general unpleasantness of every- day tension, a hobby may offer a means for maintaining good mental health and opportunities to partici- pate with others in projects of mu- tual enjoyment and relaxation.

ProvinCe- wide redistribution on this basis would result in a legislature of not more than 120 members, the commis- sion said, describing this as a reason- able maximum size. The creation of 10 seats in Metro would increase the legislature’s seating capacity from its present 98 to 108. The commission said the most pressing need for re- distribution exists in the Metro area outside Toronto. The response in the hospital campaign so far has in the main been very gratifying. An enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers have worked hard and citizens, service club’s, women’s organizations, busi- ness institutions and industry have shown a keen appreciation of the need and are responding with generous help and donations. If the objective is to be reached everyone must do a full share and we hope those who have not already done so will make a donation now, and make it as gener- ous as possible. we need the hospital â€"â€" the hos- pital needs our financial support now. but sometimes it is very serious and a matter of life or death.

The year 1963 will not be unlike those that preceded it in this regard. The greater variety of courses made available under the Reorganized Programmes recently introduced will be available in both Bayview Secondary School and Thornhill Secondary School and through these cour- ses the needs of the young people in this area will be better met, than has ever been the case before. The young people of any community are its greatest re- source. The future success of this area, and, in fact of the country, depends in great measure on the de- gree to which these young people achieve the develop- ment of the potential they have. With this in mind it is only fair to say that no investment of time and ef- fort in them can be too great. The greatest single problem which secondary education faces is the con- tinuing teacher shortage. The community that can communicate to its academic staff an appreciation of good teaching will retain its top teachers and attract others of the same quality. Every citizen can make a direct contribution to his school in this regard. School board members also need to feel the warm sup- port of the people on whose behalf they contribute so much of their time. York Central would not have the good system that it has if dedicated board mem- bers had not wrestled so sincerely with the problems of education in the past. As school people we apprec- iate their efforts. We know that they would be pleas- ed to hear that the members of the community share this same appreciation.” J. W. Kippen. Principal, Bayview Secondary School NEW YEAR’S MESSAGES From The Superintendent and Principals of Secondary Schools and High Schools In York Central District High School Area S. L. G. Chapman, Superintendent of Secondary Schools: The scenes were well ex- ecuted due no doubt to the Curtain Club experience of Mary Donnelly, Cathie Faullcner and others in- volved. One major problem was in evidence. This was the stage of the Lions’ Hall where the whole show took place. This hall represents Richmond Hill’s largest spot for recreational activities and it is to be pitied. It was constructed before the pot». ulation of theflilfl exploded from some .{000 to some 18,- 000 in e matter of half a dozpeu'years. Some day soon‘ "‘l’t‘ is hoped that this fact will strike home and somewhere along the line a real effort will be made to develop a true recreational centre ca- palble of keeping pace with the growth of cultural acti- vity so much in evidence here in the Hill. I asked son David (age 9) about half way through just what he thought about it and he said “It‘s not as fun- ny as Jack and the Beanstalk of last year“. Of course he was only a boy of 8 then. The younger one Glyn 61/2) would brook no interruption and was glued to his outpOSt until the final call and had but one thought only of get- ting to bed now it was over. What gives with live por- formances’? Movies and tele- vision will never replace it for the young. Take a look around at the kids (dads and moms too) and you‘ll see complete freedom from the inhibitions of unreal produc- tions. Everytime that the sneaky streaky villain Abanazer (Lou Donnellyl appeared on the set of Richmond Hill's Curtain Club production of Aladdin. a large sign drop- ped from above the curtain with ‘HISS’ written bold and big. This of course was the time for everyone concerned to hiss to their big and little hearts delight. ,This year's Pantomime Aladdin was an- other maximum effort and well rewarding. Last week I saw ‘Oliver' down at the O' Keefe Centre and this week it was Aladdin at the Lion's Hall in Richmond Hill. but make no mistake of consid- ering one in the same light as the other. Directed by Rex Seven- oaks. who also played ‘Dame' Widow Twanky, the story was devised and written by Mary Monks and Dennis Stainer. One point is clear and that is if this is to be an annual affair (and such it is) then preparations should be- gin well ahead of the last moment in order to excel and achieve the standard hoped. I found out quite ear- ly in the evening that in such a production as a Pan- tomime one must accept the children and be ready to join them, otherwise it is suggested that you remain quietly at home. It was necessary for actors to make their exits, and some entries, back stage, of’f Hiss the Villain of Richmond Hill We at Bayview M: In Janu (By Elizabeth Kelson) Continu ma ave been anticipatin u'y we expect to h wing of the school On Pa are wafis'firost active and lively find probably the type most suite to o k‘ d of solo part men%md previously. Wit » her' bility of being able to project herself into the audience this was the quality needed all evening. I had the impression that per- haps there were too many trying to get into the act rather than basin-g the play on just a few strong leads with the remainder follow- ing throth in support. Widow Twanky (Rex Sev- enoaks) was very good. I felt that we kid-s could have had more of him or ‘her' throughout the evening. The live robust-actions and hear- ty laughter were in happy contrast to the dark (hiss) doings of Abanlazer (Lou Donn-ellyl who was no doubt the ‘hero‘ or ‘villain’ of the night._ The kids really loved this nasty man and his act- ions and Abanlazar was the award winner in Aladdin. Ef- fie Yesoent (Mary Monks) Group singing was almost faultless but the individual solo parts were a little weak. Ross Smith only vocal entry was done so in a most pro- fessional manner and there was no doubt that Ross has a very fine voice. Most solo parts were taken much too seriously and in- stead of a rousing song or heart felt ballad we had too much sweetness of voice. This is not bad but it is out of place here. At last week's ‘Oliver‘ I witnessed a classic example of full voice pro- jection even with micro- phones. Everyone seemed to have their own built in vol~ ume controls. perhaps a little too much. When (in Oliver) the flower girl ap- peared to sing the sweet and charming ‘Who'll buy my flowers‘ I felt sure that here would be a contrast in vocal coloring just for a change but the dear sweet little flower girl opened up .all controls and near belted me into the balcony. With Aladdin we had too much sweetness. I should say I had, for otherwise it was; not noticeable. It’s nice? mind you and I like it butl without a ‘mike’ (a vital part‘ of modern equipment-when? t?) we one day build a new Recreational Centre) there is a tendency to ‘die’ as it were and with the kids they just don’t take to ‘dyinlg’ quietly. small stage.

When Eric Hamilton's engineering job was suddenly terminated, he loaded his wife. four young daughters, their German shep- herd dog, and a crew of three college boys into a World War II DUKW and set out for South America. Virginia, his wife, writes this highly entertaining account of the adventures, me- chanical difficulties. dangers, and trials of daily living which An Answer from Limbo, by Brian Moore (Atlantic). The latest example of human frailty to be examined by Brian Moore is one of invincible selfishness in the person of Brendan Tier- ney, a writer.

Basil’s Rathbone’s book about himselfâ€"his career, private life, enthusiasms, and opinionsâ€"is better written than most- books by or about actors. As antau- thor, Rathbone has a nice way of using poetry (some of it his own) and speaking directly to the person about whom he is writing. He is a good story- teller, and some of his narra- tives are practically short stor- ies woven into the text.

This is the story of men battling the elemental forces of nature as a polar storm rages unchecked, taking its toll of men and equipment. underlying the ordeal is the suspenseful mystery of the iden- tity of Major Braddock, hero or murderer, a man “missing” since his harrowing experience on the same island 22 years be- fore, during World War II. Innes has neatly combined mys- tery and high adventure in a story which vividly shows the heights to which men rise when the situation demands it of them. égironu/ 3401/10/11 Book Reviews From The Richmond Hill Public Librari Have You Read These?
