At the same time they also accepted responsibility for Bathurst Street in Vaughan Township from the Langstaff Sideroad to the Maple Sideroad, the Egypt Sideroad in Georgina Township, and an extension of the Don Mills Road in North Gwillimbury Township.

Last week “The Liberal" was happy to record the thanks and praise of a citizen for the volunteer firemen in Richmond Hill. Mr. Char- les Sare of Skopit Road, whose home was badly damaged by fire, thanked the firemen for their prompt res- ponse to the alarm and also for their careful treatment of his home. \v'i- sions of the rubber-coated men In a plebiscite held last year the voters of King Township approved a two-year term for their township council. Nominations for the first two-year term council will be held at Schomberg Hall on November 26. The council elected in December will hold office for 1964-65. When the township council was preparing the implementing by-law. trustees in the three police villages in the municipality Were asked to consider the merits of the two-year term for their jurisdictions. The trustees in King City and Schomberg decided to implement the extended term. However the Nobleton trust- ees ruled that the voters in that police village should first have an op- portunity to express an opinion on the proposal.

Drivers and cars alike are subject to a bone jarring ordeal every time they travel along it. Fortunately it has been a dry fall or in addition to the many holes traffic would also have been wallowing in a sea of mud. Bayview is a heavily travelled road serving not only the residents in the eastern sub-divisions but also two shopping plazas, separate and secondary schools and two churches shortly to become three. If the county is unwilling to maintain the road properly until such time as it is finally paved then town council should consider assisting in the work. In the meantime Richmond Hill’s two representatives on county council should continue to press for the eventual-paving of Bayview which is the only real solution to the pro- blem. One thing is certain, Bayview is disgraceful and the county has failed badly in its responsibility for this impértant roadway charging into the house with axes swinging and proceeding to chop up furniture and hurl breakables through windows, were quickly ex- tinguished by these courteous volunteers. Mr. Sare said “They treated our home as if it was their own.” Praise of the police force was also heard, when it was reported that they were on the scene of an automobile accident within two mi- nutes after the call for help was placed.

As one King City ratepayertold “The Liberal”, it is just one more case where power is being lifted from the individual where it properly belongs. In King City the only public opposi- tion to the suggested change came from a former village trustee.

Roy Clifton, the librarian of Richmond Hill High School lives at 105 Wood Lane with his wife Helen and daughter Janey. Janey who is seventeen years old attends Richmond Hill High School. Nine years ago, Mr. Clifton‘came to Richmond Hill High School as a history and geography teacher. He spent one year teaching these subjects and then became the librarian, a post which he has held up to the present time. He produces the high school plays at the school. He is a former square dance caller and at the moment is giving a stagecraft course and has an active interest in the folk songs of other countries. Rambling Around Mr. Clifton is perhaps best known outside of the school for his work with films. Films Of Note presented by the library club is a series of four programmes at year intended to introduce students to films of artistic worth, but is attended by as many adults as students and fulfills the function of a film society in Richmond Hill. Mr. Clifton is also chair- man and one of the founders of Richmond Hill films for children. “Films,” said Mr. Clifton, “are the art most wide- ly patronized today, and must contribute to forming the attitudes of those who see them more than the other arts, and it is important that this influence be Roy Clifton believes that the film, when as occasionally happens, is made from motives other than profit or propaganda only, deserves to be treat- ed as ‘an art. Like music or painting, if the spect- ator knows something about the principles on which films are made, his enjoyment will be more discrim« inating and he will cease spending his money on third-rate pot boilers, and to this extent discourage a constructive one. Films which deepen our imagina- tion or insight are often individual efforts or fore- ign films without the backing of large corporations, or they may be older films half-forgotten by their distributor, so it behooves those with a concern to discover and show films made by those with artistic integrity and imaginative insight into human probâ€" lems.” them Mr. Clifton first became interested in films after seeing twice through a silent film made by a then unknown director, Alfred Hitchcock, called “The Ring.” This was in 1928 while he was attending the University of New Zealand. He is not however a Hitchcock fan today. Later as educational director of the Consumer’s Co-operative Society Limited in Timmins in the thirties, he added a course on film appreciation to those offered to the study groups conducted by the society. Some of these groups formed the Timmins’ society, which presented monthly programmes of films, until the war made it impossible to plan programmes. nl ,,,!L1._1 In the forties Mr. Clifton wrote film criticism for E T C , the Journal of Semantics. He was active in the Toronto branch of the National Film Society of Canada before the war, and vice-president when it was reâ€"established about 18 years ago as the Toronto Film Society. Five years ago, some of the library club mem- bers who had gone to the showings of the Toronto Film Society with Mr. Clifton, among them Paul Brent and Jeffrey Leman, suggested what came to be known as Films of Note. “Three times a year, one in each term, the library club presented a film of artistic merit on Wednesday and Thursday even- ings at the Richmond Theatre, through the kind- ness of Mr. E. C. Hill, who said that as a business- man, he couldn’t afford to be a crusader, but if we wanted to do it, we could use the theatre. This year there will be four showings, all at the Richmond Hill High School. They will be on Friday nights which are better for students,” said Mr. Clifton; Yvnuwu uxv vavvn. -v- Both because of his being a teacher, and be- cause of his connectiOn with the Toronto Film Soc- iety, Mr. Clifton was invited to be a member of the organizing committee of The Canadian Centre of Films in Toronto, four years ago, when Miss Mary Field, director of the International Centre of Films for children in Brussels toured Canada. He was one of two on the committee who undertook to arrange demonstrations locally of entertainment film made by the Chfldrens Fdhn Foundafion (a nonqwofit corporation) speciaHy for ages 7 to 12.

The chfldren speak naturaHy without dang. And they are exciting. The other demonstration never took place, and Richmond Hill remains one of the few centres in Canada presenting regular showings of fihns rnade especiaHy for chfldren (as against corn- mercial films made to catch both adult and child audiences, and often losing the latter) The first showing was held in the Richmond Theatre in January 1960. and was so successful that it was succeeded by regular monthly showings until June, with Mr. Hill showing the C F F films of the rnorning progranune to his Saturday afternoon aud- ience too. ‘ p 1,”- Ivan.» van “The success has been due to several factors, said Mr. Clifton. “The library club provides the labor for bundling tickets and information sheets sent out to the public and separate school students, and ushering and taking tickets at the showings. The attendance has been due to the energetic sup- port of a number of home and school members who by speaking at the meetings of their associations, and by telephoning have brought the attendance up to 225 last year. A number of parents who had been discouraging attendance at the regular commercial showing found that children’s film foundation pict- ures provided what they had been looking for.
