These were: present: private parking lots. provision for parking to facilitate new buildings in the area and pub- lic parking that would be paid {or partly with public funds and partly by ‘cash in lieu’ payments from the owners of older buildings who were unable to provide parking facilities on the sites of older buildings. He further qualified his idea by stating that his proposal was concerned only with parkâ€" ing conditions and was not by any means an attempt to usurp the overall duties of the planning board. Mr. Scudds pointed out that his plan was by no means a finalized scheme“ but merely the outline of of a plan which he thought could be developed into a Workable idea by the plan- ning board in their over- all redevelopment plan for the downtown business section. i Floating in Pond Child Revived By Maple Firemen Firemen worked over the child with an inhalator for about five minutes and then rushed him to Bran- son Bospita! where he was kept overnight for obser- vation. Lorne Schuyler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schuyler. 231 Elka Drive, wandered away from his mother at the Pinewood sandpit, 11/: miles north of Maple where his father was working. Mrs. Schuyler reportedly found the boy in the pond lace down. A 23-month-old Rich- mond Hill infant found floating face down in a sandpit pond Saturday was rescued and revived by Maple firemen. A proposed parking plan for downtown Richmond Hill described by Council-j 101' Walter Scudds as a‘ first step in doing some- thing concrete about a problem that council has been talking about for} years, was presented by Mr. Scudds to town council at their Monday night meeting. Mr. Scudds said that the disadvantages in such a policy were that it would not permit overall control and would tend to produce a hodge-podge of public and private parking lots throughout the downtown business section. Further. he said. it would produce about 25 or 35 percent more parking space than was actually needed in the most highly assessed area in town and tend to reduce the maximum tax revenue Irom the area that may be realized by the town. Mr. Soudds said that such a (Continued On Page 19) Scudagf-Wbuld Tackle Parking On An Area Basis In recognition of outstanding sales records during 1962, salesmen Ken Morton, Howard Jackman and Harold Mabley of Wilson-Niblett Motors. well-known local General Motors dealer, have been awarded pins by Paul Sull‘iven, Genergl Motors representative, Oshawa. The first alcoholic drink to be purchased by a customer from a licensed Richmond Hill liquor outlet since '1906 took‘ place yesterday when Pop‘s Tavern was opened to the pub~ lic as a duly licensed tavern. Proprietors of Pop's Tavern, Messrs. Doug Bando and James Magos, after a lengthy and pro- tracted negotiation with town officials have at last been able to satisfy the authorities that they are in a position to ful~ fill all municipal requirements subject to which they have been granted their long awaited license to sell alcoholic bever- ages with meals. Pop's Opened Wednesday Greatest of the problems which have had to be over- come by the proprietors of the restaurant were town parking regulations and when questioned by “The Liberal” how this had been School. Miss F.

Middleton. Superintendent McIntyre said the new course would introduce a different con- cept of teaching mathemat- ics. the chief difference being in language. More The board also approved a proposal to conduct an in- service course in the new mathematics during the fall term of this calender year} This course would be a joint project of the elemen- tary and secondary schools in the district. This would ensure that any change in course would be planned by boards and teachers con- cerned. Following the in- service course. and upon recommendation of all con- cerned, the new mathemat- ics course could be extend- ed to involve more classes and more teachers, and, eventually. all grade 7 and secondary schools in this area. The new approach to the teaching of mathemat- ics has been in grade 9 for four years, but only last year was extended to the public schools. Superintendent McIntyre assured the board the experiment would not be detrimental to the pupils concerned as fundamentally there will be no significant deletions from the old course. He pointed out that when teacher and pupils are aware that an experiment is being carried on they invariâ€" ably work much harder to make a success of it. -l\\l\\l\l\\\\\\\\\llll\\\lllll\\llll“\lllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllitilllltillllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllillllilllllllllilllllllllllllll-l3 Introduce New Math Course VOL. 84, NUMBER 48 Superintendent McIntyre said the new course would introduce a different con- cept of teaching mathemat- ics. the chief difference being in ianguage.

Subject to approval of the department this course will'be introduced in one grade 7 class in September, 1963, on an experimental basis in Toronto, North York and Scarboro, and a text book - Mathematics for grade 7 (by Copp Clark) is available. C Librarx During the drawn out nego- tiations town planning officials‘ delay in issuing a building per- mit for the renovation of the premises as a tavern were held up on the grounds that the own ers of the tavern did not pos- sess sufficient parking space. Whereas capacity of the res- taurant indicated that 23 park- ing spaces would be needed to fulfill the requirements of by- law 1000 Pop's could lay claim to only three spaces. It was indicated during discussions with town planning authorities that certain merchants in the Richmond Heights Centre would Mr. Bando did mention that there was lots of parking space around the restaurant indicating the parking facilities of the Richmond Heights Centre. managed Mr. Bando‘s only have no objection to the use of comment was “It‘s all their parking space for clients fixed up".

Children in grade 7 still study cords of wood. tons of coal. bags of potatoes, bushels of wheat, board feet. taxes and assessment - many of which are not too practi- cal today. As an example, the superintendent estimatâ€" ed that only 1 per cent of property owners in Rich- mond Hill bother to work out their own taxes. “Usual- ly they are paid in our cheques to the mortgage companies. All we do is complain and pay the money," he said. “The new course.“ he explained. “will concentrate more on the language and theory of mathematics rather than on mechanical tricks."

Such service would include the collection of ashes and Cinders on regular pick-up days with- out added cost to the town as well as the collection of other forms of refuse which are not now included in the agreement. Other forms of refuse consists of discarded household items‘ such as old furniture, washing machines and the like which; at the present time, are not‘ collected by the disposal com- pany. J. M.

LAND llSTED AND §0LD The Reverend Donald Bone. B.A.. L.TH., recent graduate of Huron College will assume his duties as the new assistant curate at St. Mary’s Anglican Church on June 2nd, 1963. Mr. Bone is a native of Toronto where he received his early education, then to the Univ- ersity of Western Ontario for his Degree of Bachelor of Arts. Mr. Bone was ordained deacon by Bishop Snell three weeks ago. He will preach at the two morning services next Sunday. New Assistant In addition to this the A.Y.P.

The two W.A.'s and the evening guild of the parish were joint host- esses for the refreshments that were served and enjoyed by all present. The Rev. and Mrs. J. R. F.

Under the long term contract proposed the town would be protected against such a con- tingency with York Sanitation agreeing to deposit with the town a performance bond equal to 50 per cent of the amount paid to them for their 1962 operations. Such a bond would protect the town in the case of loss of dumping facilltles by the collecting company or the sale or transfer of the bus- iness to other parties. In ad- dition the town would receive a minimum of 12 months notice of the discontinuance of the contract. Council agreed that a con- tract with York Sanitation Company Limited should be drawn up by the town’s solici- tor. In recommending acceptance of the new contract Reeve Floyd Perkins pointed out the desirability of entering into a long term contract for refuse collection. One of the dangers he said in garbage disposal was the possibility that a collecting company may. at any time, be denied the right of using a dis; posal area. NORTH YONGE OFFICE 8242 YONGE ST.
