Canada’s new flag may not become official until February 15, but so far as Bruno Tambosso, 30 Sussex Avenue, Richmond Hill, is concerned, it’s official now. And it has been since January 21 when he first started flying it. Mr. Tambosso, who purchased the flag in Toronto, said nobody took much notice of it until he lowered it for Sir Winston Churchill’s death. ~'He ripped it and had to take it down for a couple of days to get repaired, and then everybody asked about it. Now that it’s back up, however, he says the 3x6 foot flag is there to stay, “unless the wind knocks it down.” Shown admiring the new flag with Mr. Tambosso are his three children, Debbie, Alan and Michael.

No residential sewage developments are forecast at this time. Public school construction is expected to cost a total of $926,- 000 in the five year- period and high schools $891,000.

The finance committee report noted that in past years token grants of $25 or $50 had been made to such organizations as the Salvation Army, the Sick ,Children’s Hospital, etc, NORTH YONGE OFFICE 8242 YONGE ST. The committee felt that don- ating to charities is a personal matter with each ratepayer hav- ing the right to donate to his or her own favorite charity and that tax monies should not be used to support whatever organi- zation makes an appeal to the municipality. The committee recommended however that grants be contin- ued to organizations providing a direct service within the township, such as the Victorian Order of Nurses. Council had been asked for a grant by the Muscular Dys- trophy Association of Canada but in accordance with the new policy, turned it down.
