Contact The board promised to in- clude $150 in the 1964 budget as financial assistance to the Uplands Gardens Community Association in installing a water service to flood the rink at La‘ngstaff School. Trustee Lorne Wells pointed out that the association plans to spend approximately $500 on this Water service. The board will provide lighting for the rink for a six month period each year, and take care of the nec- essary control of weeds during the summer. The association was also permitted to negoti- ate with the custodian ot the school for his services outside of school hours for cleaning during the school week. Vaughan's public school population was 3,225 at the end of October, Superin- tendent Joseph Gibson in- formed Vaughan Township School Area Board Thurs- day night. Enrolment at the end of September had been only 3,197. Increases at Langstafl. Roselawn. Ross Don and Thornhill account for the difference of 28 pupils. It was reported that Mrs. Marjorie Cox, art supervisor, who had been a patient at New- market Hospital for three weeks, is making satisfactory progress. School Rinks Since no provision had been made in the 1963 budget, no action was taken on a request from the Vaughan Township Teachers' Athletic Association for payment for ice time at neighbouring arenas. Permission was also granted the Kleinbutg Rotary Club to build a rink at the Kleinburg School, and the Ross Doan Home and School Association for a rink at that school. Plan is eventually to equip all county fire brigades with radios as a logical extension of the mutual fire aid plan where one station will cover for another while at a fire or natural disaster. It is the result of a study by Vaughan Fire Chief J. W. Davidson who is county fire co-ordinator and George Fyfe, communications officer for E.M.0.

These fifty fortunate people will board a bus in Richmond Hill at 12 noon to journey to the International Airport at Malton. There they will board the giant four-engine turbo- prop TCA Viscount. The plane will take off, head due north and fly directly over Richmond Hill so that all aboard may see their home town from the air. The flight will then continue north to Lake Simcoe, a really magnificent view, then on a southwest course over the heart of York County. the hub oft Ontario where there is always‘ something of interest.

Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Woodbridge, Maple and Rich- vale have radio in their fire trucks; the remaining fire halls will require it. The report indicated it would1 cost about $2,800 to install radio receivers at Maple; $3,100 at Newmarket; $16,500 in the 151 stations that need equipment and $21,000 for the 30 vehicles that would need a two way radio, for an estimated total of $43,400. About 15% would be saved if the equipment installation was put up on tenders and it would also be eligible for a 30% cost rebate from the Ontario Fire Marshals Department, bringing the total cost closer to $30.000. ing loading and unloading of children on buses at these schools. In the first instance the board waived payment by the township of $250 for land for widening the township road required in front of the school for the construction of the driveway. At Hope, where the driveway was built at the re- quest of the bus driver, the cost was $350. Trustee Warren Bail- ie hoped this was the start of a program which will give great- er protection to school children in the township. The board agreed to assume costs of the telephone extension in Thornhill School, which has been home by the home and school association. The board felt that since this school is a two storey structure more than one telephone is needed. Following is the list of win- ners at the twenty-five partici- pating stores.
