While “The Liberal" is always hap- py to give publicity to those whom service to their community takes the form of acting as an elected repres- entative on municipal councils and school boards (whether they always appreciate it is another question) it is with particular pleasure that we acclaim a new and vigorous group which has undertaken another form of community service and has set itself the task of filling a cultural lack in the area, that of a children’s theatre.

In the face of strong criticism from re- s onsible citizens in many parts of t e township, council allowed its op- tion on the 100-acre Dafoe property to lapse in August. The Dafoe farm is located at 17th Avenue and Con- cession 5 and council had planned to turn it into a public park at a total Cost of $120,000. There would have been a Centennial grant of $28,820. f After these many months of delay the question as to what Markham 'Will choosc as a Centennial project still remains unanswered. Council must have realized its proposed park Was very unpopular with many of its ratepayers. Now, again without mak- ing any public announcement as to its _ olicy, council is giving indications it may be ready to favor an earlier suggestion and build a library system .35 its Centennial project.

Now on sug- gestion of Councillor Allan Sumner council will investigate the feasibility of setting up’a joint library board for Unionville and Thornhill with represâ€" entatives of the two police villages. Expanded library services to meet the growing population, and this is especially true in the case of our young people, are meeded in the town- ship. Earlier discussions seem to indicate a majority of Markham cit- izens would favor a library system as a Centennial project. One of the main criticisms of a public park was that it would attract scores of people from outside areas“ The weekend crowds that flock into the newly op- ened Bruce’s Mill Conservation Area which is located in Markham are for the most part from Metro municipal- ities. A library system would cert- ainly seem to benefit township resi- dents more than another park area. But what is most important, to be successful any Centennial project must have the wholehearted support of the citizens of Markham Town- ship. It’s about time council took the people they were elected to rep- resent into their confidence. \Here is a group of hard working, eager and dedicated people who are certain to make a definite contribu- tion to the cultural life of this area. Established 1878 years,“ said Earl R. Brown~ ridge, president of American operation benefitting both countries. The Canadian Government's objectives to securing the pact seemed quite clear: to ensure for Canada a growing share of. the continental auto market (it is estimated that the production increase would amount to $300 mil- lion a year); to provide thou- sands of new jobs: to reduce Canada‘s huge automotive deficit with the United States; and to bring the price of cars in Canada down closer to the US level. It was the last of these which interested most Can- adians. The agreement's first effect had been to bene- fit the Canadian subsidiaries of American automobile com- panies. They would no longer have to pay about $50 mil- lion a year in duty on new autos and auto parts import- ed from the US. The Can- adian car buyers felt just- ified in expecting some of this saving to be passed on to them. This anticipation was heightened by comments from the heads of the Can- adian motor industries. “The cost differential will “The co‘ be narrow! Def. 7, 1965 Decisions. Always Decisions . . .

Eildon Hall, as the mus- eum was originally known, was the home of Mrs. Sus- an Sibbald who, in 1836, with her family moved out from Scotland. The orig- inal part of the house which was constructed of /logs, was built in the 1820’s. At {hat time it was known as Penn Raines, owned by Ma- jor W. K. Raines, from whom Mrs. Sibbald pur- chased the property in 1835. In 1951 York County pur- chased the property which became York County Park. and it was later renamed Sibbald Point Provincial Large numbers of vis- itors have again shown ac- tive interest in the Sibbald Memorial Museum this summer, located at Sibbald Point Provincial Park on the south shore of Lake Simcoe. During the 1964 season some 21,000 persons examined the exhibits, and this number has been al- ready exceeded by approx- imately 1400 before the end of August.

The Story Of Welfare For The Young Why do we have to spend so much time and effort caring for the young children of our commun- ities who through no fault of their own, are in need? What causes this need in the first place? These are questions that your Ontario Department of Welfare tries to answer every day. It rescues children who have been willfully neglected by parents, whether it be from indifference or drunkenness; from poverty in the home that breaks the health of the mother; from child beating and from failure to support. Added to these are the children who have been orphaned. All these are taken under the very wing of the Province of Ontario. In another era, they might have become street urchins or worse. Ontario has built a comprehensive, though far from perfect, program to protect and care for them. The program places such children in foster homes, in children’s shelters and other group homes. A small number go to correctional and mental institutions. About one quarter go to couples who hope to adoptthem. The backbone of Ontario’s child welfare pro- gram is the Children’s Aid Society. Each CAS is autonomous and privately incorporated, but its funds are almost always public. delinquent, The program also goes beyond the care of child- ren who have no permanent mothers and fathers. It provides nurseries where children may spend the day while their mothers work. Eacfi year apfiroximately ‘5,000 adoptions become final in Ontario, a figure topped only by the states of New York and California. Because the protection of the young includes protection of children born to unmarried women, the unwed mother is assured proper care, and she benefits directly from the program._ Rambling Around (Photo by Stuart‘s Studio) Yours truly ERIC W.

The foundations were about 80 feet in length by 40 feet in width. The walls were three stories in height, built of mud bricks, 18x24 inches, made on the premises and sun-dried and laid in the walls with timbers in between. These walls were surmounted by heavy plates and the whole covered by a strongly braced roof. The bedrooms on the upper floors were small as in a soldier's barracks and num-l erous. On the lower floor the. rooms were lofty and spacious and designed to accommodate a large number of guests. ‘ Add to these volumes of traf- fic a large number of tourists from Great Britain and Toronto during the summer months, and it can be seen that Yonge Street was a very busy highway in the first half of the nineteenth cen- tury.
