2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Thursday, Towards Better Understanding York Central District High School Bo rd is to be commended in taking the initiative in arranging a meeting between the board and municipal councils from the districts for which it provides education on the second- ary school level. The councils are the bodies which must raise the monies necessary for education of satis- factory calibre. :- uuuuuu u. -wuwv In the past. councils have fre- quently accused the board to which they appoint representatives of being extravagant and incurring unneces- sary expenses in school construction. Trustees have complained that delay in transfer of money from the muni- cipalities to the board has caused them unnecessary expense. The meeting on October 24 at Thornhill Secondary School will per- mit the ironing out of a good many difficulties, with both sides being able to present their viewpoints. Greater understanding of each other’s prob- lems should be the result. mThere is a great need for better liaison between the two groups, and Richmond Hill’s Community Cenâ€" tennial Pool will become a reality only if every person interested in adding such a facility to the community is willing to- volunteer help in canvas- sing as well as financial aid. A committee headed by Cliff Ben- nett, enthusiastic supporter of an indoor pool in Richmond Hill to teach as many people as possible to swim. has been appointedâ€"and the financial drive will soon be underway.

The loss to Vaughan Township of what was to have been a substan- tial industrial showpiece in its south- east corner is regrettable. Fortunately the township had the foresight to stipulate no watermains would be run into the property un- til after the project started. As the months dragged by from February. 1960, when Crothers an- nounced its intentions, to recently when local residents noted a “For For the second time in his political career Charles Hooper has been called on to assume the office of reeve for the Township of Markham because of the death of the incumbent of that office.

He returned to the township council in 1960 and 1961 as Town council reached a very wise decision when it did not accept a suggestion that the property of Principal Investments on Yonge St. South be purchased for a temporary parking lot. Councillor Thomas Mur- phy claimed that at the asking price, the town could, if it was legal, use the lot for parking until the system of downtown laneways becomes an accomplished fact. He contended that the land could then be resold with every prospect of making a profit. Councillor Walter Scudds, ques- tioned the legality of such a. trans- action, pointing out that the council had also approved in principal the planning board’s decision not to pro- “Authorized as second class Politicl Activity Starting Pal-king Problems Again o \_._./ \v 00 L ’3‘ on Rate $3.50 per year; to United States $4.50; 10c single copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

We believe that the public has the right to be in- formed of anything which will affect their pocketbooks, beneficially or adversely. it is hoped this and subsequent meet- ings, if necessary, will p_rovidg it. Men and women in public office should feel as free to express them- selves when the public and press are present as when they are excluded. It is the duty of the press to give as detailed information as possible on problems and accomplishments of all governing bodies which affect life in the community served. It can only achieve this if it attends the meet- ings at which such things are dis- cussed. This newspaper feels that every citizen is entitled to have this infor- mation as it is his money which is being spent. We give all such meet- ings in our area coverage so that our taxpayers are kept up-to-date in these important matters. tunity to make donations. A public drive for funds on a pledge card system will be the main source of monies.

Sale” sign up on the land at High- ways 400 and 7, there was no evi- dence of any construction. Unless a municipality has a firm commitment that developers of in- dustrial land will undertake provis- ion of services at their own expense, such regrettable incidents are bound to occur. Some compensation has been prom- ised by Councillor Ruth McConkey, who heads Vaughan Township’s water committee. She has stated that some good news to offset the Crothers’ loss will be forthcoming shortly. We know Vaughan ratepayers will be looking forward to the announce- ment. councillor for Wald II, and became deputy-reeve in 1962 by the slight margin of 13 votes over Forest Dul- lege, a newcomer to municipal politics. a Mr. Hooper also served as school trustee, having been elected in 1932. With Mr. Hooper’s announcement this week that he will be a candidate for the Markham reeveship in this December’s election, the municipal political pot in this area has shown the first signs of activity. Rumors of other potential candi- dates are current, and the next few weeks should see many formal an- nouncements of intention to stand for office by many public spirited residents throughout the district. \‘ide further parking lots, but to construct laneways to service the downtown area. Councillor Alex Campbell, wisely pointed out that the town should not speculate with public money. that where a profit is possible, a loss is also possible. Council unfortunater still ignores a simple and inexpensive solution to the problem of parking in the down- town area, which this newspaper has constantly advocated. That is the immediate removal of all parking meters from Yonge Street as re- quested by the merchants who are the victims of present shortsighted parking policy. October 17th, 1963 In the Telegram, October 4th issue, Ken Mac- Taggart asks “What can be done about retardation 9” He says that to most of us, the expressions “mentally handicapped” or subnormal convey one meaning. And that this is an inborn condition about which little can be done. For a very long time this was the belief of everyone including the medical profession. Then a. few pioneers, mostly the parents of these children and a few doctors they could persuade to help them, began to achieve a break-through by what are called “treatment procedures.” According to a survey made by a special committee of the London School of Hygiene,‘this means that “Management and training are more meaningful terms than treatment when re- ferring to mentally handicapped children.” The aim is to help these children by developing their potent- ial to the full, by helping them to become useful and productive members of society, able to live indepen- dent lives, find their own accommodations, buy their own food and manage their own incomes. That this is a reasonable aim is being proved more and more by the faithful and dedicated people who aid the mentally retarded. On October 26, at the Thornhaven School for Retarded Children, 317 Centre St. E., Richmond Hill, the annual bazaar will be presented to the public again. Come and encourage the won- derful parents and teachers of Retarded Children 'with your presence and also your money. The values you take away with you will be great in goods and satisfaction. Sometime ago, three charming Canadettes were featured in “The Liberal”. Eighteen-year-old Marilynn Kantor of Arnold Avenue, Thornhill was one of them. Marilynn is in her fifth year at Thornhill Secondary School. She ruefully admits that perhaps her stud- ies have suffered a little because of her great in- terest in the art of dancing. Although she loves high school sports, she has had to content herself of the fact that this extra time sometimes must be with being a spectator and this she enjoys in spite of the fact that this extra time sometime, must also be given to the dance. Marilynn is an expert swimmer and a qualified life guard. “I also like cooking and baking”, said Marilynn. “Sewing is an entirely dif- ferent matter. I sew if I have to and at no other ANNUAL BAZAAR OF 'l‘HORNHAVEN SCHOOL FOR RETARDED CHILDREN COMING time!" Marilynn's father was born in Budapest, Hun- gary, and her mother in Czechslovakia. She was born * ‘ - H H nunâ€"t-.. .... 4.. Hm 30.1 y, auu u»; llluvlly; “- V..-» . - in Toronto and used to speak‘: Hungarian up to the age of five until she (was{sent to. a-Inursery school to learn English. Although she understands Hungar- ian when she hears it, she no longer speaks it fluently. Marilynn became a junior ballet champion while dancing with the Canadian Junior Ballet Company. She danced with this company for five years. Since she left them she has had the opportunity to learn many different styles of dancing. One of her future teachers will be Allan Lund who has a studio at the Nortown Plaza. How does one get to be a Canadette? Marilynn said she happened to read an article in the news- paper stating that the auditions for the C.N.E. Grand- stand Show would be held in the Queen Elizabeth Building. That was three years ago. The first year she wasn’t accepted. The second year she went back and auditioned again and was accepted. This was a step in the right direction for Marilynn and she felt that all her hard work and interest in this art was justified at last. “I love teaching children to dance,”, declares Marilynn. “I began to teach pre-ballet for my dancing teacher. I taught for three years and I might be teaching this year for another dancing teacher in Etobicoke.” Altogether, Marilynn has been dancing ballet for eight years and is now in her ninth year. She started to learn modern jazz last year and will continue it this year. 'Marilynn has helped to finance her ballet lessons from scholarships that were made available by her dancing teachers. The “Thornhillettes” is a name familiar to the students of Thornhill Secondary School,. This is a “Kick line” organized by Marilynn Kantor last year. The girls acquitted themselves very well last year at the annual “Health’s-A-Poppin” and will do so again in 1964. Marilynn hopes that the school will con- tinue to encourage them and thus help to add to the versatility of the physical education program. When Marilynn finishes school, she intends to go right on with her dancing and she humbly admits that she has so much to learn. Her ambition is to someday have a dancing studio of her own. Her 01'- iginal ambition was to be a school teacher . . . but “vvorryrher a bit . . . and well . . . what’s wrong with being a dancing teacher anyway? This column received an interesting little obser- vation in verse by a somewhat disgruntled lady Who received a parking ticket. It wasn’t the ticket that upset her. She deserved that‘but oh, couldn’t the policeman have been nicer about it. After all . . . . DANCING IS A WAY OF LIFE . . . MARILYNN KANTOR The police from the Hill are the finest, Keen and alert . . . and so quick to observe; But alas, there is one . . . not the finest Who merely exhibits a colossal nerve. I say, did they not teach you dear laddie That a.smile will help ease the plight Of a lady in error, that’s tagged as a baddie. The dear Force's Image is now not so bright. A policeman is your very best friend. I say to my moppet . . . and how I extol Their courage and courtesy, that wonderful blend Which I hope will also be part of your goal. You ask me, son! Where was his smile! Why was he so grumpy? Now what could I say? That he’s had a bad time? It happens once 1n awhile. Or perhaps he hasn't yet learned of better way. +++++++++++++ Rambling Around BY ELIZABETH KELSON FOR much Flashback The December 15. 1904 issue of “The Liberal” records: The opening night of the rink for public skating for the fol- lowing Saturday night.
