A report in a Toronto daily on a recent address by our Provincial We wish to congratulate those responsible for the organization of the seminar on the emotionally han- dicapped child held in Newmarket recently. Designed for the benefit of teachers, public school inspectors and superintendents, public health nurses and school board members in York County, the seminar was ad- dressed by a number of outstanding experts in this field. All stressed early recognition and proper attitudes on the part of the teachers and par- ents as important in the successful treatment of children with emotional handicaps. In this regard, classrooms in York County schools are bound to benefit greatly from the Newmarket seminar. The land in question covers approx- imately 260 acres lying north of the Elgin Mills Sideroad between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue. Mr. Mehlman’s annexation scheme was first discussed at a secret meeting of council last October 1. The 1962 council authorized the preparation of an engineering survey of the annexa- tion area. Before it can even attempt to make an intelligent assessment of Mr. Mehlman’s proposal council will require a great deal of information and in conjunction with its officials make a thorough investigation of the whole scheme. One question should be answered at the very offset. Has Mr. Mehlman some industries that are ready and willing to locate in Richmond Hill, or The suggestion has again been made that Richmond Hill annex more land. Either by design or by coinci- dence the matter has been raised on three separate occasions. It was first raised by Planning Director Harold Decks in a speech to the Rotary Club on January 14. It was again raised by Ward 2 Councillor Alex Campbell at a meeting of council on January 28. This was followed by the appear- ance of Toronto land developer Mr. Murray Mehlman before the plan- ning board on January 29.

Any annexation scheme presents many questions and problems. Some- times the problems remain to haunt the municipality for many years after the actual annexation takes place. One thing RichmondrHill doesn't want is some grand speculative annexation scheme at the expense of the present property owners. It is estimated it would cost at least $150,000.00 to provide reserve capacities in the present residential sewage system. Who would be called upon to bear this cost? The people of Richmond Hill or the developer? The major expenditure in devel- oping the annexed area would be in providing the necessary services. In the past this expense has been borne by the developer without any cost to the present property owners. It is expected sewage facilities for the an- nexed area would be connected to the existing sanitary sewer system. The present system, however, can only receive a limited flow of sewage from an industrial area. The residential sewers in Beverley Acres are already over-capacitated. The sewers for the industrial area Would connect into the present system at four points, Ohio Road, Newkirk Road, Blue Grass Boulevard and Neal Drive. does he simply want the land annex- ed in the hope it can bear sold latey? ‘ Fri- him him It must have 'been abundantly clear to this hunter that the bird was domesticated and a pet.

Frank Wims, and John Oheley were elected recently to fill three vacancies on the six-member Aurora Separate School Board. \ About half an hour later, my 14-year-old son brought to me one of his fancy pigeons. It had been found recently dead on the floor of his pigeon coop, im- mediately under, the window which he leaves partly open for the pigeons to fly out into a wirelnettinlg enclosure for ex- ercise. There was a patch of feathers under the wing, about one inch in diameter, soaked with fresh |blood. And in the centre of the patch was a bullet 'hole!

An apt title was chosen for this fast~moving memoir of the young Middle Eastern monarch. Attempts on his life via airplanes and acid. assassinations of those around him, intrigues and revolts â€" all are recounted to form a story that puts the average thriller to shame. Hussein’s early years are here: Harrow, Sandhurst, and the influence of a remark- able grandfather.

Highly recâ€" ommended. by George Mayes THE GREAT HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMMES OF THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODDFELLOWS AND THE REBEKAH LODGES Some of the committee members of these local orders live in our area with many members living (Continued on page 5), In pioneer days, the public business was conduct- ed by all the voters together assembled in town meet- ings. There, they elected officers, decided what im- provements they needed and could afford to make, divided up the work and rendered judgements in dis- putes. As the country grew, and the towns began to act together on matters of common concern, they set up a central representative government. Since all the citizens could not travel the distance, or even meet in one place when they got there, each settlement sent at least two citizens to speak for their neigh- bors. Rivalry between the towns, sometimes friend- ly, sometimes most unfriendly, was one of the things that drew people closer together. Few could imagine feeling about the township or county as they did ab- out their community. Even today, few think of the nation or even the province as their community. Many in the district will remember when the com- munities in this area were much smaller than they are now. Size seems to have some bearing on how one feels about his community. It would be inter- esting to hear the opinions of people who have watch- ed the phenomenal growth of population in the areas of their 0an communities and how it has affected their outlook toward them. (Letters should be sent to E. Kelson, 207 Centre St., Thornhill.) There are some 250 service groups located within the province from Sioux Lookout to Cornwall and from Windsor to Kapuskasing. The majority of these service groups of the I.0.0.F. and the Rebekah lodges have hospital beds, wheel chairs, walkers, crutches and kindred hospital equipment available to be loaned out free of charge to any person who may be in need of such aid. The Oddfellows and Rebekahs have close to 2,000 hospital beds, 3,000 wheel chairs and several thousand pairs of crutches in constant use across the province. In addition to this programme, they extend their services by aiding any worthy cause in the community, regardless of what type of asssistance such cases may involve. Wherever homes have been stricken by the dreadful diseases such as cancer, polio or tuberculosis. the groups have gone forward to do whatever could be done to help. Quite often when a parent suffers any of the above diseases, the remaining family is often in real need, and in such a home, the I.0.0.F. and Rebekahs enâ€" deavour to give aid. (The C. P. & T. programme was originated by Wilfred Dean, reeve of Markham Town- ship in 1946.) “Occasionally,” said Mr. Bailey, “our groups will sponsor something in their communities to raise ad- ditional funds to purchase hospital equipment and to aid in more needy cases. In the last year and a half the local lodges of Northcrest and Northview have I supplied emergency materials in cases of fire in the Richvale and Richmond Hill area.” 4 “Thousands of families and individuals have been helped by the service groups of the I.0.0.F.,” said Don Bailey, Past Noble Grand of Northcrest Lodge, No. 476 of the I.0.0.F. Mr. Bailey has lived on Crest- wood Road for three and a half years and has been a member of Northcrest for five years. It may be clearly stated that a very large portion of the thousands upon thousands of dollars expended in this work comes within the memberships of the order. The Music Box... The other morning I heard on the radio a short report about asking Premier Ro- barts a question and he will give you an answer‘ This particular question came from someone at Uxbridge and as usual with radio ques- tionnaires the characters chosen to put forth the quer- ies are quite intelligent so say the most. This one was no exception and without any too much decoration he asked “Why wuz so much spent on frills in edycation when them kids should be doing them other things schools is for?” The word music wasn’t specified and it was quite evident the speak- er‘s knowledge of anything let alone music was limited. Mr. ‘Robarts never-the-less proceeded to apologize for the frills and went on to as- sure Mr. ‘Wuz" that these frills such as sports. music, driving, cooking, reading, etc.. were definitely relegat- ed to the rear end of daily studies. In the US. of course the music classes are esta- blished in a very big way as part of the routine studies and it is well realized by any On January 26 I spent the day at Cooksville T. L. Ken- nedy High" School, where several hundreds of Ontario music educators spent their time in improving their knowledge of one of the frlll subjects. It seems strange that despite the fact that most of these educators teach other subjects such as History. Science. etc.. they seldom seem to gather in such crowds for the betterment of any subject but music. Are there any other similar edu- cational associations devot- ing their spare time to the improvement of their special subject as do the music ed- ucators? This convention was the Ontario Music Educators Association. It covered chor- al. band and orchestral met- hods and music. 0f Frills and Fings We are all aware of the meaning of ‘frills‘ with re- gards to education and. quite naturally, our concern is with the musical “poppy- cock‘ end of the matter. LET’S GO BACK FIFTY YEARS IN COMMUNITY LIVING (By Elizabeth Kelson) Wig Another name should be employed for the use of spe- cifying frills. This might as- sist the many Mr. Wuz's to appreciate the effort being made by educators in these fields. Max Ferguson recent- ly on his morning radio show poked fun at everyone from the U.S.A. stickin-g their noses into our nuclear situa- tion and he portrayed an Id- aho potato farmer holding a press interview about what he felt Canada should do So it is with the frill subjects. Many who make comment shouldn't and many who should don't but still the premier of a province should not make excuses for educa- tion. me I've heard nearly all. This band comes quite often to our high schools here in Richmond Hill and district so the next time they do come along please listen to one of the best in the world. He's nuts, you say - well af- ter all just how good can a musician get and how geod can a group get? For years I spoke of the CBC Sympho- ny as one of the greatest for in my line of promotion I had plenty opportunity to hear them at all times. When I mentioned this fact to folks who were also in the same game it was usually with a certain amount of reserve‘ The O.M.E.A. Convention was a good one and the band of the RCAF was in attend- ance playing a programme of new material for high school and band in general. Now this is not only a good band but it is the best band I’ve 'ever heard and believe clear minded Canadian that sooner or later this method will be established here in Canadian schools on the same basis. It isn‘t that we copy from the U.S.A. but simply the influence of Am- erican ways gradually envel- ops us and this field of music education is getting bigger and bigger every year. You'd be surprised if you were told that the biggest business of all others in the U.S.A. is the music and musical in- strument. That's a fact. It heads the list of types.
