Slightly over $15,000 was raised as a result of the door to door canvass that cover- ed all the municipalities on the ‘south-central part of York ‘County. i Campaign Chairman John Graham of Richmond Hill paid tribute to the hundreds of men and women who had taken part in the canvass. “The members of the Thornhaven Association for ‘Retarded Children are ex- tremely grateful for all the help they received from both donors ‘and canvassers". of the schools wnere Cllllfll'ell‘ up to eighteen years attend. “It is still a struggle for the adult training centre since it receives no direct government] support. However, some of the municipalities have made con-“ tributions as a recognition of the work being done," Mr. Graham said. The success of the canvass was primarily due to the small‘ army of canvassers who called on almost every home and busi- ness in the district. The adult centre serves the whole area from Stouffville and Markham on the east, Oak Ridges and King City on the North, Thornhill on the south and Woodbridge on the west. auu Lau v use»: a The $15,000 will be used to ' train young retarded adults in simple industrial and commer- cial skills so that they can per- form a useful function in society. The Thornhaven Adult Centre under the guidance of ‘Miss Dolly Ketola has ten ltrainees employed in their own rented premises on Industrial Road in Richmond Hill. L Mr. Graham pointed out that 1effective January 1 the Ontario ‘Government and the munici- lpalities were now responsible ‘for the financing and operation Mr. Graham expressed special? appreciation to Donald Deacon of Markham Township and Barry Collard of King Town- ship, his deputy, for their efâ€" forts on the special names can- vass. 1 Special regional canvass sup- ervisors such as Ray McTavish‘ of Gormley, Floyd Perkins of Richmond Hill, Mrs. Helen Brown of Markham Villageir were cited as examples at people who had put in long hours to ensure the campaign‘s success.

Cable. former town assess- ment commissioner, all monies paid into the pension plan by him and by the municipality, notwithstanding existing policies to the contrary, was referred to the personnel committee to dis- cuss with Mr. Cable before action is taken. It was noted that Mr. Cablel‘ had not resigned nor been dis- charged and neither he nor the town had had any control of his change of occupation, which was brought about by the county take-over of assessment. Norm- ally the money paid by the municipality is not refunded to an employee‘ Mayor Tom Broadhurst point- ed out that no committee meet- ings had been held so far in 1965. “There is a considerable amount of work awaiting atten- tion." he said. “And it is time to get the town‘s business un- derway expeditiously." He reminded council members that in 1964 a ruling had been agreed on that matters referred to committees would ‘be dealt with within two weeks. “Some of these matters will take longer than that." he stated. “So you had better get busy."

The reeve asked lf anyone“ could tell him whether there} is a greater turnout of voters in a biennial election and Coun- cillor Lois Hancey replied that it was about the same. She also noted that she had knocked on every door in her ward in 1963, and almost all in 1964, every door in her ward inl 1963, and almost all in 1964. requesting that the electorate go to the polls and vote even if they did not vote for her. This effort had made no appreciable difference in the turnout, she stated. “Let's face it," said the' reeve, “when we pass this by- law, we are not legislating for this council, which I consider a good one. but for future coun-l cils which may not be so good." “I could not disagree with you more whole-heartedly." re-l torted M a y o r Broadhurst. “Whatever my personal opinw ion. and mine is violently in‘ favor of a two-year term. we} are confronted with the opinion of the majority of electors who choose to come out. If we wished to oppose it, we should have said so at election time and tried to influence the votes.” DtLUKI'.

YOU WON’T MATCH OUR DEALS "A council needs a year to plan and a year to put those plans into effect. With a one year term you can plan. then somebody else comes in and demolishes the plan." he said. “It's my humble opinion" replied the reeve. “that if you put a question on the ballot often enough you “ will eventually strike a year l when it will carry.

We've been in the horse and buggy days too long." He reported in England borough councils have a three year term and in many European coun- tries they sit for four years. They don't want to go back to ione year, he stated. ‘ “You have just dragged the reeve. shrieking and protesting, into the twentieth century,” the mayor observed to the deputy- reeve as the vote was called.
