Next Sunday, November 28 will mark the second anniversary of the official opening of York Central Hos- pital. In the history of our com- munity this will be a memorable date and every day of the year many in this part of York County express thanks for the blessings this hos- pital has brought to Richmond Hill and district. As a result, council will certainly find itself under pressure from other metro municipalities for the same privilege. A report on water pollu- tion in Vaughan Township made last summer by the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission casually menâ€" tioned that that body had already approved a site in Vaughan for a dump to be used by North York Township. How will Vaughan now deny that township’s request for a dump when it comes? Located on a beautiful site on Vaughan Road just west of Rich- mond Hill town limits York Central Hospital in two short years has earned a high reputation for efficient and considerate patient care and, thousands who have entered its doors are most generous in testimonials of praise and commendation. Many have expressed the opinion that unques- tionably the home hospital is one of the community’s mOSt valued assets. York Central Hospital received its first patients in mid-December 1963 after many months of planning and a. very successful fund-raising cam- paign. The need for the hospital has been convincingly demonstrated by the volume of service rendered in the past two years. During its brief history the home hospital has admitted more than ten thousand patients and has provided more than 67,000 days of patient care. In addition more than twice this number have been treated by the hospital as out-patients. Almost 1500 babies have been born at York Cent< re]. The emergency department is averaging more than twenty cases daily. There is an average of two While it is true that council ‘has learned at least something by ex- perience and Etobicoke is to sign an agreement under which it will cease dumping operations any t i m e Vaughan considers they are not con- forming to the township by-laws and will further pay Vaughan $1,000 per month for its supervision of the dump, we feel council was ill advised to permit this opening wedge. It is with extreme regret we learn that, contrary to the expressed wishes of a large body of ratepayers, Vaughan Township acceded to pres- sure from outside the township and last week gave final permission to the opening of a third dump in the toWnship, to be operated by the Township of Etobicoke.

More than seven hundred and fifty physiotherapy treatments monthly, and many more statistics we could cite give some idea of the tremendous activity being car- ried out in York Central Hospital. This activity and service is increas- ing in nature and scope each month, and the day is not far distant when there will he need for expanded facil- ities. York Central Hospital has full accreditation from the Canadian Council on Accreditation, and made something of a national record by earning this status after eighteen months in operation. This was an outstanding achievement when you consider that only thirty per cent of the hospitals in Canada are fully accredited. The monthly publication “Hospital Administration in Canada" devoted fifteen pages in its November issue to the York Central story. The story includes more than twenty five illustrations showing the high qual- ity of service in the various depart- ments. We admire Deputy-reeve Williams for standing by his principles in spite of the waving of $1,000 bills in front of his eyes. We only hope he will be able to prop up some of the other members of council when they meet the onslaught of other municipalities wishing to unload their tons of gar- bage in Vaughan Township. If not buried under the avalanche of garbage, these councillors may very well find themselves buried at the next election under an avalanche of votes for other candidates, those who will pay more than lip service to the voters who put them into office. Vaughan Township Council it was Reeve A. H. Rutherford himself who brought this point up. At that time, he voted with his Deputyâ€"reeve Gar- net Williams and Councillor Dalton McArthur to prevent the passing of the by-Iaw permitting the Etobicoke dump. At the October 25 meeting, how- At the October 25 meeting, how- ever, with Councillor McArthur ab- sent, the reeve raised no voice against the proposal, and the by-law was given final reading with only Mr. Williams dissenting. In spite of the terms of the agreement with Etobicoke Mr. Williams said that he was still opposed. “This is against my policy on sanitary land fill sites” he said. Citizens of Richmond Hill and dis- trict have every reason to be proud of the home hospital. To the able and dedicated staff and all associated with the York Central Hospital we extend congratulations on this its second anniversary, and we do so with grateful thanks for its great service to our community.

Nov. 25, 1965 \‘ID ‘ Bu y UNICEF Christmas Cardsâ€"Help Hungry Chi/dren‘ Siapnd Thong/Its Most football injuries happen at the beginning of the season before the boys get into prime con- dition. In fact, most of them are picked up in the early scrimmage or practice sessions. According to McVicar, a team shouldn’t be in competition until it has had at least two weeks in the field. At that, they should play only one game a week. The most common injury is to the knee. This is caused mainly from being blocked from the side by players who do not know how to block properly. Bruises and pulled muscles are also common. Naturally every player must be covered by in- surance and doctors usually are very coâ€"operative in treating football injuries immediately. Thornhill’s physical education department employs the services of a masseur and Coach McVicar insists that those suffering from muscle injuries take advantage of I this service. It has been said by 'many that team sports are getting rougher. Football is one major sport that comes in for special criticism. Are these crit- icisms well founded or not? To find a satisfactory answer, I contacted Bill McVicar, the new head of physical education at Thornhill Secondary School. “Not so!” claims Coach McVicar. “In the ten years I’ve coached football at Thornhill there have been very few serious accidents. Football is not so dangerous as many people think.” Good coaching and good equipment are musts in this highly competitive game. York Central Board gets full credit for allowing their coaches to select the best quality possible football equipment. In competition it is regulation for teams to be matched against those of similar size, experience, speed and strength and general athletic ability. Bill McVicar is emphatic on the proper fitting and wearing of equipment. The boys that line up with their football squad on the playing field are wearing a lot more than skin tight pants and bulky helmets. might get close enough to a footba player to see; that his helmet has a cross-bar desi ned to protecfl his teeth and nose. Under his sweater you’ll note the elevation made by his shoulder harness. The importance of good shoulder harness can hardly be estimated. Dislocated shoulders are usually the result of inferior or poorly fitting harness. If you happen to be watching a lgcal game, you; Some members of the team wear more protec~ tion than others. The linebackers and some of the backfielders do a lot of blocking with the hands and arms, so they wear forearm guards made of foam rubber which cut down the number of bruises. All players wear hip and kidney pads and these have improved greatly in the last five years. Thigh guards and knee pads are now made of a foam rubber type of construction and provide further protection. Over all these protective pads go those tight fitting football pants and long stockings which eliminate much scraping and bruising of the legs. In order to ensure greater safety in the future, Coach Mc- Vicar plans to invest in a few neck collars which will cushion the back of the necks. “We select shoulderrharness that is well de- signed and tested by the manufacturers long before it is put on the market.” explained McVicar.

Dear Mr. Editor: In the October 21 issue of “The Liberal” edi- torial comment was made regarding the proposal that Markham Township Councillors be elected for a two year termof office. Whilst it is feasible, that in large Metropol~ itan areas; and in provincial and federal areas of jurisdiction, elected representatives of the people should have a sufficient period of time to become acclimatized to‘ the atmosphere of government, because of the (fomplexities of those types of govern- ment, it is ?n nsense to suggest that a township council’ requires two years when the population of Markham Township is approximately 16,000 persons. . It would be interesting to list the number of councillors in Markham Township who were returned to office by acclamation during the past ten years. This is one way whereby the electors can indicate that the incumbent performed good service and merited another term of one year, although there is always the chance that a local resident aspires to becoming a councillor and forces an election by being nominated by a ‘good friend’. Rarely however does such a person succeed in unseating the incumbent who is still the ‘darling’ of the electors. At the risk of repeating some of the comments of that editorial, I hasten to provide an argument against the proposal. Recent pronouncements'by Markham Council in regard to the location of a sewage disposal plant, a Centennial parkand high rise apartments, have raised the ire of many of the electors, and if the electors do not agree with the township council in matters such as these, then they should not be denied the opportunity of changing the face of the council at the earliest opportunity. ' If a councillor is performing the service for which he was elected, then he has nothing to fear in presenting himself for re-election after a period of one year. Good councillors are always re-elected or sent back by acclamation. In those townships close to Markham, where a. two year term was agreed to, situations have arisen where the electors are unable to vote out their councillors because of the two year term. Do not let us make the same mistake in Markham Township. Incidentally, do all electors know what ‘bi-enniel’ means? This is the word that will appear on the ballot paper. It means two years. The answer to this should be a resounding ‘NO‘ by the electors on December 6. see that the fleeing leader of the rebels did not escape across the dam on the Hum- ber.
