OAK RIDGES AND LAKE WILCOX NEWS Ratepayers Meet With Trustees Waterworks are in good shape for the moment, Chair- man Ronald Bolton told rate- payers at King City Village trustees’ meeting May 13. “With present restrictions I see no problems arising", was his current report. Regarding steps toward the third well, the waterworks commissioner said township had proceeded with the ex- propriation by-law at trustees’ request. “Likely by the first meeting in June we shall have some- thing concrete about possession of the land", he said. “As the last step before Ontario Muni- cipal Board’s approval of the project, consultants have been requested to submit a final de- sign this week. I expect in a few weeks we'll have the green light to go ahead with the new well." Trustee John Mann reported roads were in bad condition as a result of extreme frost. Trustee Ross Farquhar said there had been 25 fires attend- ed by King City brigade this year, two of them in the village and the rest in King Township. Mrs. P. J. Williams com- plimented trustees about getting things done, when an Elizabeth Grove Street sign was replaced at her request. She wondered what was being done about what she considered “litter at the end of my street". She objected to two trac- tors and two wagons from nearby farmland using the paved road and leaving dirt. “I don’t see why I i should have to put up with that”, Mrs. Williams said. Trustees agreed to look into mud being dragged onto the paved road and agreed to write the landowner requesting his co-operation in removing pieces of culvert and block. Trustee Mann noted the land was outside village jurisdiction and he hadn’t seen much paper litter. Trustee Farquhar moved that a letter of thanks be sent the Scouts for tidying the area. Chairman Bolton agreed, “This has gone on for a number of years and is a wellâ€"accepted project. Certainly efforts of the Scouts are appreciated.” Asked by King Memorial Li- brary Board for a $500 advance for current exoenses, trustees passed a motion of approval and asked township to forward the money to the library. Mr. Bolton said the electrical system would have a fairly healthy surplus after meeting its first debenture, unless there are unforeseen developments. A letter from the Im- perial Bank of Commerce manager asked what water- ing could be done of shrubs and sods in pro- posed landscaping. Trust- ees decided no exceptions could be made. Shrubs could be watered between '7 and 8 p.m., but at pres- ent lawn-watering is ban- ned. A letter from R. S. Fonberg.‘ district manager for the De- partment of Public Works, property and building manage- ment branch in Toronto refer- red to trustees’ approval of a site for a new post office. “We wish to, thank you for Cottage Dollar a Day Special 6 Cu.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman Laugh- Iin and Mrs. Arnold Peter were a delegation regarding a drain- age problem in the area of John and James Street and Springhill Road. .. .‘ Trustees spent considerable time discussing the problem and delving into minutes back to spring, 1959. Mr. Laughlin was concerned about his two lots. He planned to alter the original dividing line in order to sell one lot. To trustees’ proposal that an easement be allowed for main- taining proper drainage. Mr. Laughlin claimed an easement would lower the selling price by $2,000. Mrs. Peter felt, “an open ditch is a bad thing. The water is running now.” As a 12-year resident she said it was only in recent years her property had any drainage problem. Trade schools are being established throughout the province “as expedi- tiously as possible for secondary school graduates”. Hon. Leslie Rown- tree. Q.C., told 700 parents and stud- ents as he officially opened King City Composite School’s new addition May 14. The Ontario Minister of Labor noted the $915,000 addition had been provided at no cost to taxpayers un- der federal agreement. “Technical educatioh is available for the first time in Aurora district and this school is now in a position to offer a variety of courses," Mr. Rowntree said. He stressed the importance of young people learning respect for rights of others and said he thought as he inspected the classrooms, “here of all places is the opportunity to learn something about rights of others." Conveying the regrets of Ontario‘s Premier John Robarts. “who finds it physically impossible to be at all the places in which he is interested”, the speaker said it was not unusual for the Minister of Labor to be asked to attend as many of the functions in which the department was concerned with the training of labor. He outlined a few of his depart- ment‘s concerns â€" safety, injured workmen, and the major field of re- lations between employers and em- ployees. The speaker was certain “everyone realizes there are many problems and much planning between the initiation of a proposal and final consumma- tion”. “Everyone connected with this project must feel a source of pride," Mr. Rowntree said, thanking the school board and those bringing the project to completion. “Bricks, money and mortar alone do not make a school, but teachers and citizens with faith in education and our young peop- le. 1 hope all who enter will de- velop a sense of appreciation for the facilities and opportunity here”, the minister continued. The minister said he could not over-emphasize the importance of attitudes, understanding, pa- tience and tolerance being learn- ed. “Without it we won’t get far with safety promotion programs and advancement in the field of human relations.” King Composite Opened CALL COLLECT Richmond Hill “Our recreation room is mined. A river runs through the cellar and the furniture is piled up”, Mrs. Peter said. Trustees offered to obtain in the next few days costs of in- stalling drains both ways ar- ound the Laughlin property. Trustees agreed to look into borrowing at a better interest rate through the Ontario Water Resources Commission for the third well and to see if it would be worthwhile to delay the pro- ject a few weeks to obtain an estimated $11,500 subsidy un- der winter works. Trustee Farquhar questioned if the subsidy advantage would be offset by getting into “cost- lier construction time". Trustee Bolton said the pro- ject would cost $72,700, if it could not be completed until the end of August, he suggest- ed, “As far as I can see we can wait a little longer for the month of September to get the subsidy." Daily water consumption in rainy weather is averaging 80,- 000 to 90,000 gallons, it was re- ported. ..“ (Vfiefl meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 27 at eight pm. in the village office. He urged students to pursue cour- ses in which they are interested. rather than feel frustration and fail- ure in courses for which they are unsuited. “When pupils are in their right places, teachers should not have to aim for a middle point." he de- clared. Mr. Rowntree reported approxim- ater 40 per cent of students now complete grade 12. Under the re-or- ganized program of education he said he would like to see 60 per cent graduate. “We are not in favor of a lower- ing of stindards." he said. urging the seeking of higher levels, “when full credits will be given for all types of training and full use would be made of the country's most important re- source - our young men and women." The minister explained bursaries are available for students achieving second class standing and loans for third class. “Check first with the Ontario Department of Education be- fore undertaking costlier loans," he advised. Introducing the speaker, A. C. “Lex” MacKenzie. M.L.A., said the Toronto-born member for West York had been educated at Osgoode and had been a lieutenant-commander in the navy. He was elected to the leg- islature in 1956, and was chairman of the select committee on cost of drugs. He had been minister of tvnsport and on the treasury board. Mr. Rowntree added that the part of Toronto that was his birthplace no longer existed, West Toronto Junction. Mr. Marvin Hunter of Laskay, vice- chairman of the board, thanked the speaker and Miss Lois Jennings pre- sented a corsage to Mrs. Rowntree. 7 Dr. J. L. Uâ€"rquhart, chairman of Aurora and District High School Board, acted as chairman. Mr. Bernard '1‘. O’Beirn, prin- cipal of King City Composite School, spoke of the high stand- ard already set in the school and hoped an atmosphere of love of learning and respect for labor was being created. Officially declaring the addi- tion open, Mr. Rowntree said, “This addition is dedicated for the extension of educational op- portunity. May you make full use of it. I hope each of you, as parent or resident, student or teacher. derives all the best that is available here."
