"Greece In A New Light" is the title of a travelling exhibit of art which went on display in Richmond Hill Public Library Monday. Res- idents of Richmond Hill and district will have the oppor- tunity to visit this exhibi- tion during regular library hours until December 14. A total of 1400 gifts were donated by sympathetic citizens in last year's Christmas Gift Project and every one of these went to make some men- tal patient’s Christmas a happy one. e need is even greater this year.

These are young girls who are suffering from mental conditions needing psychiatric treatment and loving care. Warren- dale is located in Newmarket. At the Aurora Ontario Hospital the thoughtfulness of the gift commit- tee was evidenced in that where the patient was not expected to receive gifts from family or friends more than one gift was provided. Not one mental patient in this county was missed in the annual distribution of Christmas gifts by the York County Medical Health Association. This includes those in 17 approved homes throughout the county and more than 300 boys in the Ontario Hospital at Aurora. Also remembered at the festive season were several indigent families where one or both parents were under men- tal treatment. Soaring taxes, heavy debt and high interest charges are things all of us should consider carefully before we cast our ballots for council and school board this December. For this is the month in which we must decide to whom we shall entrust the admin- istration of our local affairs for the next 12 months, and in some cases where the two year term is in effect, the next 24 months. Local govern- ment has become big business, ser- ious business, in the booming com- munities in this county and we need the best men and women available for the job. We are delegating to the people we elect to office the right to levy taxes on our homes and bus- inesses and the responsibilty of A spiralling municipal tax rate is a problem common to many Ontario communities today. Toronto Board of Control candidate Richard Hor- kins has been continually stressing this point throughout his campaign. He has said, “The financial problems we face have in many ways been swept under a blotter". Mr. Hor- kins estimated the average increase in taxes in the last ten years has been $120. In addition every man, woman and child in the city owes $300. He said Toronto’s total debt is $152 million and the city is paying out $12 million a year in interest charges alone on that debt. 013112 liberal An Independent Weeklv: Established 1: Subscription Rate $4.50 per year‘; to United States $5.50; 10c single copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

This is only one of the cultural services offered by our local library in which all citizens should take a keen interest and of which they may well be proud. This is only one of the many exciting art exhibitions planned for the Gordon Mac- laren Auditorium this year. Many private showings will be included but in addition the library board, in con- junction with the Art Insti- tute of Ontario. will sponsor several travelling exhibits. The group of 38 original paintings, by members of the Association of Greek Women Artists, was arranged in Athens under the sponsor~ ship of the Greek Depart- ment of Education, Depart- ment of Fine Art. First of its kind to come to Canada, the show will circulate in libraries and galleries until the late spring and will then be returned to Greece. Members of St. Matthew’s United Church Choir, who pay an annual visit to Aurora Ontario Hospital just before Christmas, have often re- marked on the piles of beautifully wrapped Christmas gifts provided by the volunteer mental health associa- tion which they have seen at that institution. They have been assured that such gifts help to make Christ- mas a wonderful day for the patients £L-..- there. Any rumors which may be heard that gifts given for mental patients are sold to them should be scotched as soon as they are heard. This may be true in other parts of the province, which we doubt, or in other coun- tries but \it certainly is not true in York County where every gift pro- vided is carefully and attractively wrapped and reaches a mental pa- tient on Christgias morning. at Christmas they could remember friends and families with small gifts. A CMHA Shopper's fair was set up at the hospital featuring a wide var- iety of gift items. After the pa- tients had made their selection par- celling and mailing were carried out by volunteersâ€"all this without any expense to the patients themselves. The plan received such a wonderful reception that other mental hospitals in the province are adopting it for this year. Our councils must control land de- velopers and assure the electors that they are directing the developers and that the developers are not di- recting them. Additional residential housing should be strictly taboo. More homes can only result in the need for more schools and resultant higher taxes for all of us. The em- phasis today must be on added in- dustrial and commercial assessment. Let us elect men and women to office this December who support these policies and have some real feeling for the people they were elected to represent. Too many of our politicians once elected are quick to forget the people and the promises they made. They often seem determined to impose their will on the electorate without any real feeling for the wishes of the people they were elected to repre- sent. We need to elect men and women to both council and school boards who are determined to fight runaway taxes and give the home- owner, small businessman and farmer some lasting relief from the crushing burden of taxation. Anybody can spend money but it takes a dedicated public official to gain the maximum mileage from every tax dollar spent and keep taxes stable. spending the tax monies so collected.

Mr. MacDonaldâ€"For what are we preparing our children in the secondary school? Mr. Chapmanâ€"There is a greater emphasis on a higher technical ability. Students may have to train two or three times in a lifetime. Because of the tre- mendous social upheaval, we are training children for a world of insecurity. Mr. MacDonaldâ€"What will they do in the modern elementary school? Mr. McIntyreâ€"They are now being taught the nature of their environment, English, mathematics and cer- tain necessary skills. Certain arts like listening at- tentively, reading, writing and speaking will be stressed more and more. Students will be taught to compute with confidence. They will be encour- aged to be observant, to be able to formulate a hypothesis and to keep an open mind. Mr. MacDonald (as educator)â€"Attitudes to, mental and physical health are important too. Students must be taught to develop an interest in things that will lead to a creative life. They must learn where to find information and organize it into mean- ingful content. An appetite for knowledge must be stimulated and the appreciation of the fact that learning is a continuing process. , Mr. MacDonaldâ€"What are the advantages of junior high schools and senior public schools? Mr. Givensâ€"Junior high school gives the student a two year start in applying secondary type education. It provides a screening set-up. It gives the oppor- tunity for using specialized teaching talent and pro- vides craft facilities. Mr. McIntyreâ€"Senior public schools help the child to be more self-reliant. Being separated from the younger ones make him feel more grown-up.

Then because of vast social changes it became necessary for students to stay In school longer for social and economic reasons. As time went Mr. MacDonald pointed out in a brief historical review of education that the character of education had been changing throughout the years. The ele- mentary and secondary systems developed separately and one of the big stumbling blocks was the apparent antagonism between the two systems. At one time grade'8 was the natural end of education for nearly Recently Thornhill Home and School was the scene of a most interesting panel discussion on edu- cation.

Yes, some of the worshippers might get the idea that there should be such an easy way to get up There too. The government quite prop- erly ordered a judicial inquiry headed by Chief Justice Dor- ion, to investigate the accusa- tions as put forward by Mr. Nielsen. After the terms of reference were announced, a technical point arose and that was should the written terms of reference be of a wide en- ough nature to inquire into the justification of the minister of justice’s action. In effect, this meant that instead of the min- ister of justice being respons- ible only to Parliament. that a precedent would be set whereby a judge would be em- powered with this decision. Every member of the House on an allegation of this kind want- ed the fullest possible disclos- ure and it was only upon the suggestion of the minister of justice himself that the terms of reference were broadened to include this section.

Well, after hearing, last week, how the Federal Justice Department buries the results of its work, we’d say it was probably caused by despair. The AP Vstory on the solution of the situation simply said: “They compromised”. The Soviet Union seized upon the Stanleyville rescues to demand the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from the Congo . . . To be replaced by red “technicians"? And any news was good news in Detroit as their 131-day newspaper strike ended. But there was ground for a gruesome second thought or two on how the last stumbling block hadbeen settled. The union had demanded that the giant new eight-unit presses be manned by 16 men, while the publishers had in- sisted on only 15.

In the House of Commons an unwritten rule is that if a member charges an- other member and if after a subsequent trial, the member charged is innocent. then the member who made the charge must resign. At no time this week did any member of the opposition risk his seat by making a definite charge against another member. Instead sen- sational disclosures were hurl- ed at the government. The news wasn’t all bad last week. David Stanley, the Scarboro hate-literature distributor says he is unable to find employment because of “abusive” newspaper stories about his activities. A new television program called “This Hour has Seven Days" could be compared to Parliament last week of only five days.

COLOMBO PLAN For the last two years Can- ada’s contribution to the Col- ombo Plan countries encompas- sing south and south east Asia has been 411/5 million dollars a year. Next year it is our in- tention to raise this amount to between 75 and 80 million dol- lars, half of which will be made up of long term loans. This vast area including Viet Nam is now engaged in an all out struggle to maintain their independence against Communist threats.
