The survey carried on in each municipality at a cost of $1,624 in salaries and $489 in mileage apparently determined that only 21 of the 251 build- ings surveyed in county rate above There are only three buildings in Richmond Hill that might withstand an atomic blast. Most basements carry a fac- tor of about 100, EMO Co- ordinator William Preston said. The EMO committee report also said emergency radios had been installed in all municipal- ities except North Gwillimbury, Newmarket and Vaughan which prompted King Deputy-reeve Gordon Cook to bring down the house when he asked “Where is it hidden in King?" In the resulting confusion, several township representatives said they were unaware of their radio location but Mark-i ham Village Reeve Alma Walk- er said she had tried the radio several times and found it in excellent working condition. A radio operators’ course is at present being conducted to train additional volunteers for operating the radios in time of emergency or disaster. The amateur radio operators have now been formed and approxi- mately 50 are co-operating with EMO, according to the report. Sutton Reeve George Lamont had not had the same luck, he said. A court of revision sitting in Markham Township Council chambers Thursday and Friday of last week granted an appeal for reduced assessment made on behalf of the Toronto Rom- an Catholic Cemetery Associa- tion in connection with Holy Cross Cemetery, Thornhill. The cemetery has a front- age of 781 feet on Yonge Street and reaches back to Buyview Avenue. Under the terms of a Supreme Court judgment handed down in September 1963, 100 feet of this frontage, to a depth of 125 feet was to be ex- empt from taxation, togeth- er with the buildings there- Holy Cross Cemetery Assessment ls Reduced By Court Of Revision Finding that it had no alter- native under the terms of the judgment, the court, chaired by former Markham Township As- sessment Commissioner J. A. Fleming, granted the appeal. It was pointed out hOWever that such lands are exempt only if they are actually being used for interments. Mr. Reid ad- vised that the land from the creek to the railway tracks was being so used, with roads and drainage installed, but admit- ted that trom the tracks to Bayview Avenue, 82.6 acres was rented to a local farmer. on. The 100 foot strip was to comprise the entrance to the cemetery. In accordance with the terms of this judgment solicitor R. F. Reid asked that the assessment of $3,575 should be cancelled. Mr. Reid then proceeded to appeal the $23,200 assessment on a further 116 acres of the cemetery land. The 25 acres from Yonge Street to the creek has always been exempt, as according to law cemeteries are exempt, Mr. Reid asked that the balance of the lands be dealt with in the same manner. The court agreed that the land as far as the railway tracks should be exempt, but refused to grant the same ex- emption on the 82.6 acres 1y- 1ng east of the tracks. “Are you in favour of the Fluori- dation of the public water supply of this Municipality?” Question to be submitted to a vote of the electors of the Town of Richmond Hill: I, R.

Plans for its observance dur- ing the week of November 15 to 22 are well underway by the staff of the Richmond Hill Public Library under pro tem librarian, Mrs. Maureen Stephenson. Local Library To Mark YoungCanada Booka. An interesting display of books for young Canadians will be seen during that week in the window of the York Cen- tral District High School of- fices on Yonge Street. On November 21 a pup- pet show will he held fea- turing a production of “Jack and the Beanstalk" and the traditional and perennial “Punch Ind Judy.” This show will be produced by the library's puppet club, a group of nine young people who meet every Wednesday after- noon after school and under the directon of Mrs. Annette Wint- jes and Mrs. Stephenson. They make their own puppets and practise presenting puppet plays. Classes in McConaghy Pub- lic and Our Lady of Fatima Separate Schools visit the lib- rary once a month throughout the school year. The staff is happy to be able to continue this service started by Mrs. Fred Israel in her work with the schools in the town. The children spend a pleasant hour in the library learning of the books available to them and Mr. Reid then produced a receipt indicating that this land was being rented to a farmer for agricultural purposes and asked that it be assessed at the agricultural rate. The court reserved decis- ion on this point but an- nounced Friday that the assessment would be reduc- ed from the present 5200 per acre to $100 per acre on this land. instead of the $38 per acre agricultural rate. Mrs. P. C. Hill also appeared asking that the assessment is on the 10 acres remaining to her from the 77 acre farm she sold in June of 1963 be assessâ€" ed at the lower wood lot rate, as it was all bush.

The contract covers R. LYNETT, Clerk borrowing books to read at school and at home. Thirty-four hundred books are also loaned to the schools in a circulating program under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Walke. Book week is a communityi effort to bring better books to more children. Its purposes are many: to arouse interest in good books for boys and‘ girls; to encourage the reading of worthwhile books; to make adults aware of the fine child- ren’s books available today; to remind adults of the important place good books have in a child's life; and to stress the need for good library service to boys and girls wherever they may live. Good books can give the child- ren knowledge, enjoyment and fun, a true sense of values, un- derstanding of themselves and others and a widening of ex- perience, library authorities claim, and so Young Canada's Book Week, in introducing young Canadians to good litera- ture, plays an important part in making the citizens of to- marrow. President John B. Mae- donald. University of Brit- ish Columbia. who is put- ron of the week. says "In a world where the work week is everâ€"shortening and where leisure presents In ever-increasing opportunity, adults need books to keep them sane. Only if they have come to know the pleasure inherent in good books in childhood, are they likely to turn to them for reireshment, inspiration and enjoyment in adult life. Therefore, during Young Canada’s Book Week, let us rededieste ourselves to opening new doors to the world of books for all child- ren in this country.” Clarence Day, who wrote "Life With Father” expressed a wonderful view of books: The world of books Is the most remarkable crea- tion of man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts Monuments fall Nations perish Civilizations grow old and die volumes That have seen this happen again and again. And yet live on, Still young Still as fresh as the day they out And after an era of darkness New races build others. But in the world of books are were written Still telling men's hearts Of the hearts of men centuries dead. The project was pre-engin- eered earlier this year and Mr. Mackenzie indicates that it may be completed by the end of July, 1965. He added that the agreement documents with the county are now being prepared and will be forwarded to the county authorities for the nec- essary signatures. 6: LSEQA4E"? 3&0“. 3&0“. 3» av.“ 093“ ‘n‘ilvc'viflc'fn :9 g Mundinger Music (0.?
