Items gleaned from files of “The Liberal", the home paper of this district since 1878. -Rlchmond Hill's 114th annual show of poultry and the cattle spring fair will be held Sat- urday, May 18th. It is one of the oldest fairs in Ontario and turning back the pages of his- tory as recorded by “The Lib- eral" which has been the home paper of this district since 1878 it is interesting to note the many changes in the passing years. What was the first fair like? What did they do on fair day had many admirers. There! were four entries in the foot-‘ ball contest, Aurora. New- market. Greenshields, and Richmond Hill. The last men- tioned won but there was a protest as it was claimed playâ€" ers from King City were used. Richmond Hill also won the lacrosse tournament. The vil- lage band supplied music dur- ing the day and evening. What was the first fair like? What. did they do on fair day a century ago? These are in- teresting questions of the pres- ent generation so this week we are through the old files of this newspaper taking a look at fair day seventy years ago. v- .u. ..-_ -__ Even then her job is not done.

Motherhood is often called a blessed state, but its problems must at least equal its rewards. Not enough she must bear us. She must also rear us, wipe runny noses. change unpleasant diapers, hold frightened hands. She punish- es when we are wrong and praises when we are right. On her falls the responsibility of instilling in us the moral and legal principles that make of us strong and worthwhile adults. her. A special day for mother is cer- tainly warranted.

Preston, Chairman, Provincial Easter Seal Committee * + t * SITE PLAN AGREEMENTS AND BUS SERVICE Dear Mr. Editor: With respect to site-plan agreements and approvals. I can see nothing wrong in mak- ing sure that a building is er- ected in the proper place, that the town is not put to unnec- essary expense because of faul- ty location. that it conforms to} requirements. and that the building is used for the main purpose for which it is built. Furthermore I do not see why the single home owner should subsidize developers of apart- ments and other buildings that require increased services. as has been the case in the past. The disputed fees are aimed at reducing this impost on the homeowner. Commercial displays includ- ed plows. binders, a land rollen buggies and wagons and a dis- play of single harness was much admired. In the main hall there were classes for grain. fruit, home baking. needlecraft and fine arts. and there was keen com- petition in the butter making classes. to early history. Centuries before the birth of Christ, mothers were held in awe and reverence by Chinese families. Ancient Romans showed their res- pect for mothers by celebrating an annual festival in honor of Hilaria, t h e Mother-Goddess. Mexico's Nahuan Indians held flower festivals for Chicomehautl, the Earth Mother Goddess, more than 1,000 years ago. During the early 17th century in England, boys and girls working away from home were allowed to spend “Mothering Sunday” with their families. In North America, Mother’s Day is credited to Miss Anna M. Jarvis, a Philadelphia Sunday school teacher. She held a memorial ser- vice for her own mother at the Meth- odist Church in Philadelphia in 1908, and the idea of honoring mothers spread rapidly. Six years later, President Wilson signed a Cbngres- sional resolution setting aside the second Sunday of every May as the official Mother’s Day, and its cele- bration soon became popular in Can- ada too. in Toronto, Ajax and Oshawa. The repairable clothing that you donate to this special “Good Turn Clothing Drive”, not only gives a job to the handicapped, but it also makes it possible for low-income families to buy good, useful clothing at very low prices. _ This worthy project deserves the support of everyone throughout this area and we recommend that when your Boy Scout calls on you with his special clothing bag, that you will be generous in your contrib- utions towards this very worthy cause of helping thehandicapped to help themselves. Site-plan agreements are noâ€" thing new. they are in use in other municipalities. The headâ€" line article in your May 2nd issue states that “The new type of agreement is the brain-child ‘of Richmond Hill's town plan~ ning board that is headed up by Harold Deeks, planning dir~ ector". The inference is that Mr. Deeks is largely responsible for the agreements. It neglects to add that the principle was approved by council in 1960, well before that gentleman's arrival here. My impression is that for the first time planning board is forcing town council to con-‘ form to the by-laws. and con- sequently developers are rais- ing a hue and cry. Before, de- velopers went ahead with their plans even though they did not necessarily conform to require- ments. They knew that sooner A rémark made by one coun cil member. at the meeting re (Continued On Page 21) May 9, 1963 ' Rambling As this Mother’s Day draws near. I would like: to pay special tribute to some very special mothers. It would seem to me, to be a foster mother you would have to have an extra quality which many of us may not possess. I think of the foster mothers that I happen to know and the words of a popular song seem to take on a real meaning. “You‘ve got to have heart . . . miles and miles of heart.” What a blessing to know that there are women who have hearts big enough, not only for their own families, but for the children of other mothers. Without their help, the work of such great humanitarian agencies as the Children’s Aid of York County would be next to impossible. A _ >_ _ A _ _ ‘ ': The role that the foster mother plays in the community is unique becaUSe it involves caring for children who are separated from their own families. Foster mothers try to give these children the same interest, understanding, affection and day-byday care as they do their own. How they handle child- ren with special problems is always cause for admir- ation Let’s take the case of a hypothetical child. He comes to his foster mother, sensitive and torn between his fondness for his foster parents and loy- alty to his own parents. He may have suffered emotional shock . . . be set in his ways . . . or exhibit other behaviour problems, such as indifference or he may be carrying a chip on his shoulder. In any event, he has a terrific struggle to adjust. And that is what the foster mother tries to help him do. She helps the child to belong. She pays attention to his needs. She respects his feelings for the past and loyalty to his own home. She gives him responsibil- ities in line with his age and gives him \a place to keep his prized possessions and provides him with clothes like other children. She gives him a small allowance and lets him spend it. She encourages the other members of her family to make him comfort- able and draw him into the warm family circle. She answers his questions truthfully and uses punishâ€" ment sparingly; neither does she push him beyond his capacity. At all times she helps him to feel that he belongs. This is a large order for any foster mother . . . and though the case worker is always available to help her . . . there are many things that a foster mother alone can do . . . and to her great credit, she does it, mostly because she realizes that she is helping to mold lives, and helping to turn a sad child into a happy well-adjusted one, her greatest satisfaction. And so on this Mother’s Day, dear foster mothers, wherever you may be, your commun- ity salutes you! “THERE ARE MANY ASPECTS TO TOWN PLANNING” - - RON FORREST If you should think that being a planning director means a life of ease, try to accompany Ron Forrest, the personable planning director for Markham Town- ship as he goes about his day's work. This man who fits into his demanding job with remarkable ease and aplomb, came in 1955 to be the planning director for Markham Township fully equipped with a thorough background in education and practical experience in this very complex art of town planning. Mr. Forrest was born, brought up and educated in NeWcastle-on-Tyne in the north of England. At the close of his public school days he won a scholarship which enabled him to attend the N wcastle Grammar School. He obtained University 0‘} Durham matric- ulation in June 1944, which was followed by one year of sixth form Arts. Then came two years in the Royal Navy. He was accepted in 1944 as an officer candidate, but the termination of the war ended the R.N.V.R. officer training. He then became able seaman radar operator. He served 21 months on His Majesty’s cruiser “Phoebe” in the Mediterranean. His experience at sea brought him into contact with many countries, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Crete, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt. “After the sea experience,” said Ron Forrest, “I was lucky to get started in planning under Professor J. S. Allen, who is considered to be one of the leading planners in Eur- ope. At that time Professor Allen was the town planning consultant, Newcastle-on-Tyne and while with him, I worked on a plan for Accrington, Durham University Campus. I also did elementary map work, architectural drawing and model making. Following that, I became town planning assistant of Gateshead, England. Here I worked on surveys and studies re- quired for the preparation of a development plan, and studied the problems of slum clearance and the procession of building applications.” From 1948 to 1950, Mr. Forrest attended the School of Town Planning at the University of Durham. His two summer vacations were spent, first with the Bedfordshire County Council as a planning assistant for the Town of Luton, 80,000 in population, and secondly on a 400 home project with the architect, Morton McKenzie, N ewcastle-on-Tyne. From 1950 to 1953, he worked as town planning assistant with County Borough of South Shields, England. During this time he worked on the preparation of a 20 year development plan and capital works program. He was responsible for preparation of a plan of, and architec- tural control of, central area re-development schemes; also worked on community and neighborhood design; slum clearance and bombed area re-development schemes and municipal apartment projects on cleared areas. Mr. Forrest chose an interesting way to emigrate i to Canada. In June, 1953, he obtained a merchant seaman’s certificate and joined a 95-ton fishing boat as a crew member and delivered it from Hull, Eng- land to Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. While he was getting acquainted in Canada he worked as a ware- houseman and a salesman until such time as he ob- tained a town planning- position. In 1954, he became l town planner for the Township of North York. The 3 following year, he became the planning director for ‘ Markham Township. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest have a ' home on the fifth concession. l Besides being the advisor of the local planning board, he is responsible for the preparation and ad- ministration of the planning program of the munici- pality. Mr. Forrest said that although building and zoning, health and welfare, and the economic aspects of development as they affect the community are probably the most important, there are many other responsibilities connected with his work. This in- cludes the preparation of the official plan and amend- ments, zoning bylaws, subdivision agreements, muni- cipal land transactions, press releases, court cases, and many other types of documents and reports. Other responsibilities include land use, population, traffic, education, open space, assessment and com- munity studies and surveys. Economic surveys and studies.

Updike tells a compelling story of a fatherâ€" son relationship and shows Caldwell's tragic position. as a thinking man in an opportunist society. The author mingles the somber and the comic and the real with the symbolic to produce an emotional novel of unusual experimental fiction. CLAIR DE LUNE. by Pierre La Mure (Random). Claude Debus- sy, the French composer who wrote his original and evoca- tive music in the politically stable Paris and France of the ‘Third Republic between 1870 and 1918, is the subject of a‘ biographical novel by the author of Moulin Rouge. While the story includes many authen- tic details of Debussy’s musical career. it places greater emphasis on the composer's personal life. his two mar- riages, and myriad love affairs. The book makes entertaining light reading. PERICLES THE ATHENIAN, by Rex Warner (Collins). Pericles and his period at its climax and in its foreshadowed decline are given with careful fidelity in a classically wrought narrative purporting to be written by Anaxagoras to his friends in Lampsacus. Greek idealism set against Spartan pragmatism and the triumphs and crises of Pericles’ life are related without popularization in the manner Warner used in Imperial Caesar.

Hill Record Library After such an impressive opening affair a few weeks ago of the new record lend- ing library, it is gratifying to realize that music and the associated arts are so much in demand. Fred Is- rael. chief librarian, says that out of the 100 long playing records on hand. they have already had a circulation of over 200. This is only for the three week period since it opened.

SILENCE ON’ THE SHORE, by ‘Hugh Garner (McClelland and Stewart). A once-proud house in a changing Metropolitan Toronto of the 1950’s is the scene of the latest novel by this Toronto writer. The author observes his characters with sympathetic understanding as‘ they pursue their hopes and ambitions. The people of the house, who represent a variety of cultural and national back- grounds, include the German landlady who dreams of retire- ment in Europe, a young Frenchâ€"Canadian couple strug- gling to make a decent living, a lonely Polish immigrant girl who longs to love and be loved, and a mysterious alcoholic. The author's vivid characterization of these people gives reality to his portrait of life in a familiar area of the city. GET READY FOR BATTLE.by R. Prawer Jhabvala (Murray). Middle class family life in con- temporary New Delhi is the subject of this exceptionally talented novel. The plot embraces a number of related households. and out of the con- flicting ambitions, business intrigues. obsessions, and emotional entanglements of the older and younger generations the author has created a rich and deeply perceptive comedy. evident that this collection will have to grow in order to keep pace with the de- mand.
