Selkirk Subdivision Back In News Agairi OMB. Approves Water For Oak Ridges Area Monday the Ontario Munic- ipal Board approved installat- ion of a $110,000 system of watermalns in the Oak Ridges area, east of Yonge Street. King Township section of Oak Rid- ges, west of Yonge Street, is already served by municipal water and has enough reserve capacity to serve consumers on the east side. The Ontario Wa- ter Resources Commission, which operates the existing sys- tem. made the application to the OMB. for the extension of the service to the other side of Yonge. Only three pprsons opposed the extension and 15 approved of it at the hearing. Dr. A. Carmel McKcnna of the York County Health Unit told the hearing that tests con- ducted five years ago in the Whitchurch Township section of Oak Ridges had shown only 13 of 30 wells producing water fit for human use without boiling or chlorination. He said 13 cases of hep- atitis. sometimes transmit- ted by polluted water. were reported in the area during 1962. Lack of water, polluted water. high incidence of hepatitis were complaints presented to the hearing. Chairman A. L. McCi‘ae said the board found a great need for the extension of the water system. i“\“muulll!lll‘llllllllllllllll“11mllIlll“l“llll‘l‘llll“ll\llllll“l\Ill\l“lllllllllnull“ll““llI“llllllllmnllmll‘llm‘m“llllI\lll“llll\\llll\\l\ll\lll\lll1“llM11!““NIll\lll“lll“llll\ll“\lll“llllmulllllllllulllWll“llmlllVllllllllmllll\lllllllll\lll“Ill“lll“lll\lllllllll\lllllll“ll“lllllllll\lllllllll\\llll\\l\l\\lllllll\l\lllll\llll\lllllllll\lllllll\llllllllIllllllllillullllllllll'F A sports programme for both children and adults will include a ball game - reeves versus deputy- reeves.

The strike of terrazzo workers some time ago and the recent strike by carpenters has slowed down construction on the badly needed hos- pital to almost a standstill. The strike of the terrazzo workers is especially crip- pling as it is delaying and holding up other work which should be proceed- ing now. York Central Hos- pital Board Chairman Douglas H. Storms has appealed to union leaders to make an exception on hospital construction and allow work to be continued. The shortage of hospital beds in Metro and York County is a matter of the utmost concern to all con- cerned with the care of the sick and injured. The situation is particularly acute here in the southern part of York County and hundreds of people in need of hospital care are wait- ing for hospital beds.

High school enrolment in the four area schools will be about normal with the exception of Bayview Secondary School where attendance will leap from 690 to an estimated 1,025 mainly because of step- ped-up residential building and new courses offer- ed.
