Hoover ’a_nd Miss Helen Sanderson, for- ‘mer Richmond Hill naturalist anembers. Decision to donate the maples came at a recent meeting which featured guest speaker Dr. S. C.

Thursday Naturalists To Donate 3 Trees The problem of the rising cost of education received considerable at- tention recently by Board of Trustees, Markham Township School Area No. The board recognized the fact that salaries make up the largest part of school costs. The foreseeable future shows no indication that these costs will be lowered. All indications, in fact, point to‘ salaries continuing to rise at least at the present rate. An overwhelming surplus of teachers will provide the only possible brake on this ascending spiral. The board then turned its attention to school buildings to see if any means of cutting costs could be found there. It was pointed out that the area has a million and a half dollars invested in its school buildings. These buildings provide accommodaton for school children only seven hours a day. 10 months of the year. The possibility of reducing build- ing debenture costs by further use of the building's, either by extending the school day or year or by renting out the schools for other purposes was suggested. - in many areas the school is looked upon as a community centre and after-school use by community organ- Commission is giving serious consi- deration to this matter.

However, the sudden and tragic passing of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy has brought a heart- felt feeling of sorrow and remorse to free people everywhere. We Canadians feel a deep affection for the late President who so ably guided the destinies of our great neighbour to the south. His Warm personality, his sincerity of purpose. his sparkling enthusiasm were traits familiar to us all and which endeared him particularly to the little people of every land. The western world will sorely miss his inspired leadership, his strength of character and his keen intelligence. At a time when it is easy for many to scoff at religion, when what is expedient for the moment often takes precedence over what is morally right, President Kennedy was adeeply devout man who applied his Chris- tian principles in the everyday business of running a great nation. His deep moral courage and sense of determination were no better revealed than in. his spirited attempt to secure passage of his civil rights legislation through the Congress. ‘ ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy “Authorized as second class High Cost Of Education An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 OHC 01.5 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.

It was actually stated by council that the matter would be brought before the people in 1964, should they (the people) still wish it.

PHYLLIS HAWKES 95 Roseview Ave izations is widespread. Unfortunately these groups have limited financial resources and only token rentals are charged, which do no more than cover bare caretaking, heat and light costs. Summer school classes make use of school buildings in some locations. These classes help the slow learner keep abreast of his age group in the educational system, and also help the pupil of average or better intell- igence, who neglects his studies and faces loss of a year, to learn the hab- it of studying and successfully com- plete his year’s work. Every year a pupil stays in school is a cost to the ratepayer, and if a year must be re- peated the cost is that much greater. Extending the school day or year would be certain to bring a general cry of protest from parentsâ€"but would definitely mean a larger num- ber of children could be educated in the present building's, thus creating a major saving in school construction costs for many years. Ratepayers and other boards in this district will certainly keep a careful eye on deliberations of Markham TSA No. 1 board to see if it can come up with concrete proposals to cut educat- ional costs.

In simpler times, they cared for the old, the orphaned, the sick and the impoverished. These same needs, to- gether with many new ones persist. complicated and magnified on such a vast scale that they seem too huge for any single individual. Consequently one might feel that they can only be met effectively by large public and private agencies staffed by highly trained professionals. This is a dangerous half- truthi In this period of social transition the fires of human warmth must be kept burning. Every community has a long list of unmet needs. Unless somebody steps in, the trees and the parks and beauty spots will be forever lost. That is why people willingly give their time to the cause of conservat- ion. Many places would have no public libraries and besides what would a library be without numbers of unpaid volunteers? Political machines become corrupt without determined citizen supervision and control. Volunteers can find many causes to serve and there is a place for everyone. Volunteers already do help in churches, schools, hospitals, clinics, government agencies, cancer societies, children’s aid societies, mental health associations, Red Cross, retarded children’s associations, rehabilitation foundations for the disabled; Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. Y.W. GA. and Y.M.C.A. movements, youth groups asso- ciated with church and community, senior citizens clubs, service clubs, library boards, dramatic socie- ties, music, art and athletics play important roles in any community and the people who promote them are volunteers. And not only in these activities, but in groups who work for such movements as the Women’s International League From Freedom and Hunger. Their motto is to Share-A-Loaf with hungry people and not only to feed them, but to train them in arts that will enable them to look after themselves. A gooduexample is the Mysore project in India. They help to strengthen the United Nations with their support. Community affairs can always be related to world affairs. The Canadian Peace Research Institute also has dedicated people working mightily to find out how we can rid ourselves of the terrible threat of war. They believe in research into many difficult problems and they too are volunteers in a great cause which links a community to world affairs. In your high schools you have the model United Nations, and there are branches of the United Nations in many big com- munities. Thank God for, people who . rk for these principles. ‘ ‘ “L? i Again the private individual can always aid the volunteer effort wherever he goes by refusing to be overcome by religious, racial or class prejudice. He can spread good will and warmth in every circle he moves and thus ease the loneliness and privation of other people. All starving people aren’t poor in worldly goods. The lion’s share of voluntary work is still done by women. As a rule they outnumber unpaid men workers three to one. Voluntary services have great advantages and are the means of enrichment of cha- racter and spirit in the life of a volunteer. It rarely causes dissension in the home. The volunteer enjoys prestige because of valuable time and ability donated without monetary compensation. By having to work with and for others, they get to know and under- stand many kinds of people. In other words they cannot help but develop a wide social consciousness. One of the newest associations formed in the district is that of the York Central Hospital Auxi- liary. Mrs. R. J. Miller says that the auxiliary is an organization of dedicated volunteers who are vitally interested in our newest county hospital. The fifteen auxiliary branches and three teen-age groups, each with an area chairman and executive are co-ordinated under one president and one central executive... and include most sections of the south end of the county. The approximately 600 members, men, women and teen-agers have one common set of aims: to do voluntary service in and for the hospital; to foster good public relations and to assist with fund-raising. The auxiliary members have already given hours of faithful work attending meetings, helping to raise funds, sewing, knitting, packaging, typing, visiting, studying, learning, talking... all to prepare for the eventual opening of York Central Hospital, and all leading up to the first auxiliary aim... that of volunteer service in the hospital. Most efforts are presently geared to the opening of the hospital gift shop. With a con- vener such as Mrs. Finlay and a handicraft convener such as,Mrs. Butterworth, and with so many gifted and willing members... it cannot help but be a source of great pride and attraction. York Central Auxiliary handicrafts and many other items will be for sale in the gift shop when the hospital is officially opened. Mrs. Miller declares that in her opinion a vo- lunteer works with a spirit- of unselfish service and in return obtains a deep sense of satisfaction. This applies to volunteers who work on various projects outside the hospital as well as to those who will be working inside. Each type of volunteer work, like cogs in a wheel, is of equal importance. One type of volunteer service cannot function without the other. In the end it is hoped that each patient in the hospital will in some small way have his burden eased and his mind put more at rest, because of the services of the York Central Auxiliary.

Mr. Speer wrote of the Musk- oka area potential for the ple- asure-seeker, and for the supply of timber “for a thousand years“ from its forests. About agriculture he commented that the fields looked like crazy patchwork, “Man in his farming operations has been compelled to bow to stem nature." In the Sudbury area he commented, “There must be mineral here for we cannot fired in fight through all the history of our beloved country." The trip across the prairie at the fantastic speed of 50 miles per hour was a highlight. The vast grain fields were dotted with railway sta‘ions around which clustered a half dozen insignificant houses many of them built of the prairie sod. Alkali lake margins “glittered like the dust of diamonds in the sunlight.” The wide streets in Winnipeg aswell as the commodious L . station were noted by the writ- er who forecast future greatness for the “gateway to the great western plains.” A visit to old Fort’ Garry brought the prayer "that the last bullet has been opened by the anxious miner and yawn‘ed in black caverns far into the earth. Sudbury is at present the Mecca of the miner. Old Mother Earth has her pockets here and they con- tain much treasure.” Fort William's harbour. circ- led with basaltic rock forma- tions including the famous "Sleeping Giant," was filled with tall masts and spars sway- ing to the swell of the waves. Over them towered the grain elevators and among the latter “panting locomotives hurried back and forth like shuttles in the hands of a giant weaver." We’d like to say a few words about Texas... Yes, we’d like to... but the editor wouldn’t print them.
