On prolonged discussion of the matter by council it was pointed out that the arena is a "If-sustaining operation which, over the year: it has been in operation. has more than paid for itself. It was therefore de-S clded that a debenture bylawi bo‘arranged to cover the re-‘ quired loan. A request for amalgamation of the Richmond Hill Parks Board and Recreation Commit- tee has been submitted to town council. On discussion of the request it was decided that the sub- mission be deferred pending a meeting of parks board and the rem-cation committee with coun- ell at which they will be asked‘ to present their reasons for amalgamation. Rgevc Perkins told council thatwel} number five is now producing at the rate of 750.000 Estimated cost of renovations to the Richmond Hill Arena will run at about $50.000 it was learned at the meeting of town council. Arena 'noard officials are therefore seeking a loan of this amount through debenture to carry out the proposed ren-i ovations. A bank loan in the‘ required amount is available to the board providing they can provide suitable co-slgners. The bank loan would run for a per- iod 'of five years.

Reeve Perkins told Councillor White that tem-; porary repairs were being car-l ried out but that there was little use in attempting per~ manent repairs to the roads until such times as the frost was completely out of the foundations. This would be a- bout June. Mayor Neal remind- ed council that monies were provided in the 1963 est- imates for the resurfacing of some streets in the area to which Councillor Murphy was referring. An anti-noise bylaw proposed last November has become lost in the channels of administrat- ion and Councillor Murphy would like to know what has become of it.

A motion to this effect‘ was carried unanimously.

It could be easily defended, and ships built there could pass from Lake Huron in to Lake Erie by way‘ of the St. Clair and Detroit Ri-‘ vers and Lake St. Clair. How- ever. a road must first be op- ened from Lake Simcoe. thirty miles through the forest, to Penetanguishene. The youthful doctor offered his services and they were accepted “because nobody else envied the job". Early in December 1814 he was despatched with a company of Canadian Fen- eibles. and about the same number of militia under the direction of Colonel Cockbum of the quarter master ‘general’s depart- ment. with orders to cut the road at all costs. And it proved to be no easy matter. Because of the deep snow it was impos- sible to use horses and ox- en. Provisions and supplies had to be carried in on the backs of men, the snow had to be dug- away from the trunks of trees that were to be chopped down and it sometimes took 30 soldiers to drag logs that under ordinary circum- stances could have been drawn by a yoke of oxen. The men sheltered in rough log shanties, roofed with bark and slept on hemlock boughs spread with buffalo skins and blankets, with, their feet to- wards a log fire. The shanties were built with three sides and two were always placed oppo- site each other with the_open ends towards the fire which both shared. Although the work was hard and the accommoda- tion primitive Dr. Dunlop re- ported that except for the us- ual cuts and bruises sustained by men felling trees. he had not a single case of illness worth noticing. Scottish born William Dun- lop was a twenty one year old British army surgeon when or- dered to Canada in 1813. to take part in the war. Landing in Quebec after a three month voyage he made his way. with many adventures. to the fighting line in the Niagara Peninsula and was eventually sent from Queenston to York to take charge of about 30 of his men who were in general hospital in that garrison. He described York (Toronto), which had twice been occupied by the Americans as “a dirty. stragg- ling village containing about 60 houses.” The only Church (St. James Anglican) had been con- verted into a general hospital and his quarters were in a wing of the Parliament build- ings which had not been burnt. While at York Dunlop learned that the government was planâ€" ning to build a man-of-war large enough to deal with the flotillas 01' small Americanl ships on Lake Simcoe. l By DORIS M.

His soldier friends survived a winter in the north woods but he did not live to run beside them when they marched down Yonge St. in the spring of 1815.

No. 1. This exhibit told the story of the development of amoeba to mammals by means of text, pictures and preserved specimens. Each type of ani- mal life was described under the heading of skeleton. diges- tive and respiration system. body covering, locomotion and reproduction. Each type of life was shown preserved in alcohol from a microscope slide of an elementary form to a container with a complete foetal pig. Other specimen jars held such things as a grasshopper, frog, snake, etc. The whole of this exhibit was s neatly arranged on three panels 5 in chartJike form which maidelV for easy study. It was a mostlf impressive piece of work and!c one which has surely given thel students who prepared it ai sound basis for any further} study of living things. I S ( Woodland School. in T.S.A., No. 1. carried off two of the prizes for group projects. One of these. the work of Douglas Walter, Fred Echlin. Lee Good: child and Lynn Goodchild of Mrs. Windrim’s grade 8 class, was a most imposing weather station. The base. a sturdy woo- den box with louvred sides, contained a rain gauge and th-i ermometer. Above. and rising some five feet or so into the air were a weather vane, ane- mometer, wind pressure gauge and a hair hygrometer. The ex- hibit was flanked by a series of posters with text and maps. Woodland‘s second prize win- ning project was the work of the grade 7 and 8 class of Mr. Hare. Its theme was conversa- tion. Two model farms showed good and bad conversation pracâ€" tices and tapes attached to the appropriate point in the ex- planatory texts'which flanked the exhibit. While group projects were confined to grades 7 and}! and were based on the course of study in these grades, individ- ual projects were open both as to grade and content Two of the prizewinners were grade 5 students.
