Early in 1964 Vaughan Township expressed its willingness to install the street lighting in the town- ship, in response to a grow- ing demand by people using Vaughan Road to visit pa- tients in the hospital, if Markham Township and Richmond Hill would each assume a third of the cost. Markham Township re- fused to assist and Rich- mond Hill then informed Vaughan it was prepared to assume 50 percent of the cost of installation and ask- ed \‘aughan if it would also assume a similar amount. Early this year Richmond Hill Council again made its offer to Vaughan and in- quired when the work would be undertaken. Seven mercury vapour street lights. similar to those in use in Richmond Hill were installed by On- tario Hydro in the latter part of August to give il- lumination for pedestrians between the town limits and the hospital.

Mr. Peirce reported that at} the time his company was seek-, a survey was made of the. site, on Lot 2, Concession 5 (south of Sportsland Park at Highway 400, south of Highway 7) in January, 1965. The so-called “bor- row pit", a hole left from excavation for some other purpose was deemed suit- able by Ontario Water Re- sources Commission for a sanitary land fill site, alâ€" though neither North York or OWRC had seen fit to enquire if Vaughan Town- ship favored the project. The OWRC report also made reference to the pro- posed garbage dump to be operated by Etobicoke Township on CN-owned land in Vaughan Township. The site, also a “borrow- pi-t”, consists of 19 acres on the north side of Steeles Avenue, in the east part of Lot 1, Concession 8 and was considered suitable by Member In Death Flags at all King Township scgfols flew at half mast Mon- da of this week to mourn the passing of C.

A professor from operation of this dump would not create traffic or other problems in Vaughan as township roads will not be used to reach it. Conversely, it was felt that a dump on Concession 5 would have a bad effect on township roads and traffic. With respect to the town- ship-operated dump on the Teston Sideroad, council accepted the recommendaâ€" tion of the general purpose committee that a front end loader be rented to cover garbage at the dump, and operated by township workmen. The committee had made a similar recommendation the week previously but it had been turned back for further consideration. The recommendation this time was accepted without com- ment. 0i C. G.

Dr. Hogg said that work- ing with her fellow scient- ists from all over the world, where the main interest of all was in the course of the stars. provided the kind of stimulus that was necessary in the exacting work astronomy. “The most important thing is the inspiration one gets to keep on going," said Dr. Hogg . . . “All of it adds up to an understanding of the universe."

In the November 8 Voting Mr. Addison’s main opposition will come from one of the four an- nounced candidates for the Con- servative nomination. Leading the list is William Curran, a member of King Township Council and a former public school trustee. Mr. Curran who has the largest family of any of the party candidates has 10 children. His eldest son Michael entered Queen's University this fall. A faithful worker in the Tory cause Mr. Curran is in his third term as president of the county organization. He is a member of the United Church. In private life Mr. Curran is 'I. 1, chartered accountant with a To- ronto firm. He has served for four years on King Council and two years as a school trustee. Another candidate with ex- tensive municipal experience ll John Perry a former reeve of Vaughan Township. A Maple druggist he served for two‘years as a councillor and three con- secutive terms as reeve. The former Conservative Labor Min-‘ ister Mike Starr will kick of‘fI the Tory gathering. Mr. Laing who represents Vancouver South in the House of Commons was first elected in 1949. He later resigned to lead the Brit- ish Columbia Liberal Party but after several years re-entered federal politics and was appoint-‘ ed to the Pearson Cabinet in 1963.

She said it was hard to compare the spending for scientific pursuits in Europe to that in Canada. Science was well-supported, however, and expensive new equip- ment was evident. Scientists were also treat- ed with hospitality and dis- tinction, Dr. Hogg said. While at the Bamberl Conference, discussion in- cluded the life history of stars, how they run their courses and at what stage they start to pulsate. it is this sort of involved study that makes scientists give short shrift to the as- tronomers of the midway who see all manner of things in the stars. “it‘s one of those psycho- logical things ~ if people think they are going to be influenced by them, they will." said Dr. Hogs. “1 don't think the stars know anything about it."
