On a cost per capita. based on 1963 estimated York County population figures of 123,750 peOple. initial annual costs of the agency ($28,000) would mean the expenditure of 23 cents and would make up 1.4% of the total county expenditure in 1962. For example, the agency in its first year would cost Rich- mond Hill $3.864 or_ 13.8%. Vaughan Township's s h a r e would be the largest. 15% or $4,200. In his report, Mr. Jpnes in- dicated which municipalities have planning legislation, boards or committees and to what degree in his opinion they are successful. In the immediate "Liberal" area. he said Richmond Hill which approved its official plan in 1953 and has had nine amendments since. “is too out- dated and limited to guide properly the future of the mun- icipality's urban growth." In Markham Township, its official plan was amended only recently envisaging full urbanâ€" ization of the southwest corner consolidation of development in its rural hamlets and the re- tention of the remainder for basically rural purposes. Copies of the report are go- ing to be made available for local councils and decision on the report’s recommendations is likely to be made at the spring county session. the year in which they were incurred and that funds for travel (conventions, etc.) would be paid from the general ac- count Vaughan's official plan and zoning bylaw approved three years ago. he said. are cur- rently being amended in the former case as urban services are made available but the by- law “while comprehensive, is simply a statement of the sta- tus quo." He said the .town’s zoning bylaw in effect since June, 1961 will also need major re- vision for a more creative of- ficial plan. Craig Bowden plans to speak to all service clubs in the area to enlist their help in provid: pool hm Richmond Hill Plan “Outdated” Council forestalled action on the request a week ago due to the lack of information on what improvements were to be made. Construction will include eight classrooms, a lecture room, library, secretarial scien- ce room. typing room, draught- ing room. industrial physics lab, electronics and machine shops, vocational arts and home economics rooms. cafeteria and boiler room extension and gui- dance centre. Their “booming” or “danc- ing grounds" during the mat- ing season offer a fantastic dis- play for eye and ear. A loud. rapid clicking noise by tail vib- ration, accompanied by unusual throat sounds are beyond de- scription, and vary with each species. Included in the new addition will be a 45‘x70‘ gymnasium. Deputy-reeve Rumble and Councillor Hoover pointed to the increasingly large burden on ratepayers in the township wondering “how much more they can take". Councillor Hoover reiterated his previous stand on a council vote to approve debenture is- sues to build an addition to Markham District High School stating “I’m still in opposition." Mr. Hoover suggested he would like council to re- ject the request and leave it up to the school board to take it to a vote of the ratepayers. “Let the rate- payers decide if they can afford the cost,” he said. “We have to face the facts." stated Councillor Sloane indi- cating his support of the appli- cation. Slides and tape recordings ilustrated H. G, Lumsden's talk on grouse, given at the January meeting of the Richmond Hill Naturalists January 17 in the Gordon Maclaren Auditorium of the Richmond Hill Library. Introduced by Charlie Weir, Mr. Lumsden, research biolog- ist with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, described studies made of a unique popu- lation of hybrid grouse on Ma- nitoulin Island. Approved recommendation by‘ finance committee that the clerk be authorized to negoti- ate with Dr. R. K. Young for purchase of his property. An of-l fer of purchase of the property known as 280 Taylor Mills Drive South for $11,000 was also authorized. This involved primarily the northern sharptailed grouse which moved south during a population eruption, and the prairie chicken. The study is of particular interest to scientists because these two species were believed to be of different gen- us. Comparing these birds with the resulting hybrids shows a distinct variation in both structure and behaviour. Hyb- ridization shows up in numer- ous characteristics including tail shape. skeletal formation. feather and leg colour, as well as in mating calls. Though unsuitable for farm- ing the large areas of lime- stone plain on Manitoulin are ideal for these grouse which thrive on a combination of grass and brush areas plus the low thick ground cover of juni- pers where they feed on ber- ries and rose hips. They raise only one brood a year with 11- 16 eggs to a nest. Monday evening. Richmond Hill Town Council, dealt with the following items of business: Opened tenders for a 5- ton dump truck and refer- red them to the works com- mittee for assessment and were: R. D. Little & Son Ltd. $6,539.32, Wilson-Nib- lett $6,432.44 plus option- al equipment, William Neal $6,901.00 and International Harvester $5,317.89. Deputy-reeve Stewart Rumble and Councillor Charles Hoover were out-voted 3-2 on the applic- ation requesting council to issue an $82,500 deben- ture as its share of the cost. Voting in favour of the application was Reeve Charles Hooper and Councillors Cleary Palmer and Robert Sloane. Markham Township Council approved Monday its share of a $375,000 debenture issue to go toward an addition to Bayview Secondary School but not without opposition from two of its members. It is estimated that between 50-65 per cent of the grouse population on Manitoulin to- day is a true hybrid species. With 18 different species of grouse known throughout the world, there are six found in Ontario and all are probably of North American origin. In conclusion Mr. Lumsden showed a slide of a capercail- lie. found in Central Europe. weighing 13-14 pounds. Many of those present saw for the first time an illustra- tion showing the use of a mic- roprojector. This impressive in- strument is a microscope that Referred letter fror. John C.

Clerk-treasurer E. C. T. Crisp stated even if Markham did reject the application it might not result in a vote going to the people. It might depend, he said, on what the other contributing municipalities did with the application. “Council’s decision just might be over-ruled by the majority of the other municipalities,” he said, “since more than one municipality is involved." projects the image onto a screen enabling a group of people to observe the results, and is of particular benefit in the class- room and laboratory. Some aquatic living forms, collected by Dr. Robert McCauley, fresh from a pond, provided fascinat- ing viewing of various active organisms including protozoa, algae, rotisfera and a “sea monster.“ Renewed membership in the Ontario Good Roads Association, at a cost of $20. Of special interest was a slide shown by Ott Devitt of the varied thrush seen recently in the Dufferin-Elgin Mills vicini- ty â€" a good 2,000 miles east of its usual range. Other municipalities being asked to approve debentures are Vaughan Township. Rich- mond Hill and Woodbridge. Councillor Hoover was out- voted 4-1 at the previous meet- ing as council okayed a de- benture request from Markham District High School to pay its share of a $1,506,275 extension Mr. Hooper commented he had approved the Markham District High School applicat- ion and couldn’t very easily reject the Bayview request. He voted for it. to the school In the resultant vote: the deciding ballot was cast by Reeve Hooper. After discussing observations and giving his report on the Christmas bird census, Russell Tilt reminded the group of the responsibilities shared by nat- uralists to respect private pro- perty by being careful and mannerly at all times. Teacher Predicts Ban 0n Religion The hext meeting will be held February 21. Those inter- ested will be most welcome. There will come the time when religious education will be forbidden in elementary schools in Ontario. This was the opinion expres- sed recently by Carl Grove, principal of Ballantrae Public School and a Sunday school teacher in the Dickson's Hill United Missionary Church. He was speaking as a partici- pant in a panel discussion held recently at the 95th annual Markham Township S u n d a y School Convention. Mr. Grove pointed out the withdrawal of religious training in public schools placed an ad- ded responsibility on the Sun- day school. He contended that religious education in the public school had incensed some parents be- cause the teacher, in many in- stances had passed on to the pupils her own personal beliefs or the teachings of her particu- lar religious denomination. He said he did not think this method was practised to any extent today but it had aroused complaints in the past. Referred a letter relating to the property of John E. and Mary L. Teetzel. on the east side of Cedar Ave- nue. comprising approxim- ately three acres to the works committee. The let- ter requested removal of refuse, and broken concrete which creates a barrier to the north of this property and that Cedar Avenue be opened up as a public high- way as was always intend- ed. Heard reports of flooding of parking committee. Deputy- reeve Stanley Tinker re- ported he had been in con- tact with Mr. Newland in 1963 and a nominal rental had been agreed on for these lots. He felt the $200 monthly rental asked was not a nominal sum. Mental Health Says Thank You For 1500 Gifts More than 1,500 gifts were collected which was far beyond the expectations of the associa~ tions. and cash donations took care of all expenses in connec- tion with the wrapping and dis- tribution of these gifts. In for- mer years these expenses were met from other funds of the mental health association. Thanks to the citizens of York County are expressed by the York County Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Associ- ation for their truly outstand- ing response to the 1963 appeal for Christmas gifts and money donations for mental patients. Approximately 800 gifts wereused for mental patients in York County, as well as a few more than 100 for boys at the Aurora Ontario Hospital who otherwise would not be remem- bered at Christmas. Gifts were also supplied for families of people who are tak- ing treatment â€" these were in- digent families who otherwise would have received no gifts. Remaining gifts were for- warded to the Ontario Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association and were distribut- ed to mental patients in hospi- tals.
