This would require an ad- ditional small bus which Mr. MacDonald said the school board was willing to supply. A portable classroom could also be moved onto the site to free the basement room. The other solution was to bus grade 8 students to Rose- lawn School.

Maple, Concord and Edgeley District News A delegation of parents had met with the school board on September 15 and presented a brief detailing complaints about the school; that the basement room for- merly used as a lunchâ€"play- visual education - room had been converted to a class- room leaving no place for these activities; that the school yard was too small for the growing school pop- ulation and that six of the classrooms have two grades in them. The solution decided on by a vote of the 44 parents pres- ent will free the basement room for its former pur- poses. will make no change ln the doubled up grades and will aggravate the prob- lems caused by the small play yard.

Assisting in the operation were Andy Bremner and Phil Weston of Aurora, Mr. Rolfe and Constable Tom Shield of Vaughan. A good sized crowd was on hand for the exciting moments as the old belfry was removed and the new placed in position. The schoolhouse was purchased 16 months ago by Rev. B. F. Andrew and Mrs. Andrew and has been turned into a pleasant home now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Barrett Partridge and Mr. and Mrs. W. Williamson. The old Bryson School, located at the corner of the Sixth Line and Kirby Sideroad, Vaughan Township, was crowned with a new belfry on September 13. When it was discovered that the timbers of the old belfry had succumbed to dry rot, a new one was built by Derek Rolfe of Maple and after waiting for some days for proper weather conditions it was put in place by John Schultz of Dominion Helicopters at the controls of a Sikorsky S-55.

Reid and Principal Malcolm McRob- erts. Other than the portable classroom, Mr. MacDonald outlined two possible altern- ttives. One was integration with Edgeley School, closest school to Concord, which now has eight grades in two classrooms. The school build- ing is modern, only eight years old and cannot be closed by the board because of outstanding debentures on it. Mr. MacDonald‘s proposal was that the 24 grade 6 children from Concord be bused to Edgeley. With the three grade 6 students there this would make a grade 6 class of 27 children. The other room would have 26 Edgeley children from grades 1, 2 and 3. With the remain- ing Edgeley children bused to Concord this would make seven classes‘therc. each with from 28 to 30 students. all with a single grade with the exception of grade 3 which would be made up of 23 grade 3 children and six grade 2's. No Concord teach- ers would be moved and all would continue to teach the same grades as at present. This would require an ad- ditional small bus which Mr. MacDonald said the school board was willing to supply. A portable classroom could also be moved onto the site to free the basement room. Mr. MacDonald pointed out however, that Vaughan was providing schooling at Langstaff for 60 students from Markham Townsth 911 a fee-paying basis. Although it was not possible to turn these students out now that the school term had started, it would be possible to in- form TSA 1 Markham that this space Vwould not be available to them next year. staff Public School, this had not been found feasible. However, rather than move grades 7 and 8 from Concord into this accommodation next year, Mr. MacDonald felt that the board might prefer to move the two special classes now housed in the basement at Thornhill Pub- lic School into better quar- ters at Langstaff. . Moving the Concord grade 8 students to Roselawn School would mean that they could have the benefit of the new rotary system there, similar to that used in high schools and also of physical educa- tion and music supervisors, as well as a gymnatorium. A portable classroom would have to be used there, how- ever. This solution would not change the double classes at Concord but would free the basement classroom. KIN GS DALE ANIMAL HOSPITAL DR. CARL HEDER TEMPLE 3-5401 (Photo by Stuart’s Studio) History repeated itself last week at Pioneer Village when the National Film Board filmed sequences of the War of 1812. It was from this very spot, a newly created pioneer village called Kaiserville 153 years ago, that six men answered the call to arms when the bugle summoned the volunteers of York to assist in stemming the American invasion of that date. From the little community went Abraham Burkholder. William Burkholder, Peter E. Kaiser, Jacob E. Kaiser, Joel Kinnee and Jacob Snider. Today, des- cendants of these brave men still live in and around this part of the country.

When a vote was finally called the Roselawn proposition garn- ered 24 votes, the combina- tion with Edgeley 20 and no one voted for the addi~ tion merely of a portable. This however, prompted a vehement protest from Mrs. Campbell Snider of Highway 7. “I object to my grade 8 pupil being taken away from Mr. McRoberts just so the children can eat in the base- ment”, she said. “You will still have the split grades and the principal likes the children to eat in their own classrooms." Mrs. Snider also stated flatly that she wouldn’t have her child moved from Concord School. She was supported by Mrs. Bruce Snider, Keele Street who stressed, “We have grand teachers here, we don't want to lose them.” This brought on a deluge of further discussion.

He felt that bringing a portable in might solve the space problem for more than one year. A second vote was taken at close to 10.30 pm which completely reversed the first, with 30 people voting for adding only the portable, 12 voting for the combination with Edgeley and no votes for the Roselawn move. A committee of five was elected to meet further with Mr. MacDonald. These were Chairman Allan Nash, Ross Knight, Mrs. Edward S. Hay, Mrs. A. Hewitt and Mrs. R. M. McLean. The members of the committee will then take turns attending monthly meetings of the school board to keep in touch with what is being done in the rest of the township and'keep the board informed of conditions at Concord. Mr. MacDonald stated that the portable could be moved onto the grounds within two weeks. - 832 4241 â€" a variety of gifts.

Mary-Ellen Hamilton, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Ham- ilton of Richmond St. was mar- ried September 25 to Dennis Hails of Richmond Hill, in St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Maple. Mary-Ellen was honored at several bridal showers prior to the wedding. A community shower was held for her in the parish hall of St. Stephen's Church September 15. Over 100 friends and neighbors in the community participated in this shower and presented her with Mrs. George Calder of Burl- ington also held a miscellaneous shower for the bride~to-be, in August.

Maple Lee placed first in these trials for the last two years and just missed by a point being the first horse to ever win them three times.
