Poor Salary One Reason For Resignation 0f Hill Recreation Director Jean Thomson “But that is the decision other people will have to make,” she said. “I just felt the job was becoming too much of a burden for my- self. It was a personal decision.” Mrs. Thomson said that salary (or the lack of it) was a factor which pushed her toward her decision to resign at the end of the month. “I do feel though.” she said, “that recreaâ€" tion in Richmond Hill should be run on a large scale in the manner of most municipalities the size of ours and as well as numerous smaller ones. It amounts to going into the business on a full time basis or forgetting about the whole thing.” Mrs. Thomson said she was quite aware of the financial problems a wider program would involve especially in the Hill where there was a preponderance of residential to commercial and industrial assessment. By FRED SIMPSON Partâ€"time Richmond Hill Recreation Direc- tor Jean Thomson quit her position after six years because she felt the job should be a. fulltime one. “I’ve enjoyed my associations with everyone and in particular with the various school boards.” Mrs. Thomson was reluctant to leave the impression she was casting stones or even if there were stones to cast.

A few weeks ago, Richâ€" mond Hill Works Department, with the co-operation of Vaug- han Township, cut back the em- bankment and laid an asphalt sidewalk beside the curb, with wooden steps up the embank- ment to join the sidewalk on the west side of Yonge Street in Vaughan Township. This work has eliminated a very dangerous situation where people were forced to walk on the road to reach the bus stop. Monday morning installation of a shelter was completed. A cement block retaining wall had been laid to a height of three feet and within this has been erected a laminated aluminum and glass shelter to protect resi- dents waiting for the bus.

THURSDAY‘ DECEMBER 23, 196â€"5 in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity" Once again, through the gen- erosity of the people of York County and the tireless volun- teer workers for the York County Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, every mental patient in the area is assured of a brightly wrapped Christmas gift. Mrs. William Hodgson, of Kettleby who was in charge of this year’s gift campaign reports that the response in several areas was better this year than ever. Last week a dozen volun- teers wrapped more than a thousand gifts at the United Church in Aurora. Gifts were also wrapped at Markham Village, where Mrs. M. Rutledge was in charge and in Thornhill where Mrs. Claire Moore headed the campaign. CMHA Gift Campaign Assures That No 'C'ount‘y Mental Patient Missed CA5 'I'o Investigate Counselling Service He noted that 58% of the CAS 1966 budget of $289.- 470 was for the care of children of unmarried par- ents and suggested that this indicated a need for youth counselling. CAS Director Miss Betty Graham commented that the society did family coun- selling as did the family court, almost every minis- On a motion introduced at the December 14 session of York County Council by Richmond Hill Reeve Don- ald Plaxton, York County CAS will investigate and report to council on the pos- sible cost and need for a youth and family counsel- ling service in the county. Reeve Plaxton noted that concern by Richmond Hill people as to the need of some form of counselling service had led to the set- ting up of a Social Planning Council. Gifts contributed at Thorn- hill Presbyterian Church were wrapped by Mrs. Billie Maver and Mrs. M. Mote, with selec- tion of suitable gifts made for residents of the approved home which they visit regularly and the rest wrapped and turned over to Mrs. Moore for distribu- tion. Surplus gifts will be deliver- ed to the Ontario Hospital at Whitby with those suitable for children going to Orillia, Gifts also go to Warrendale. the home for disturbed children at Oak Ridges. Two groups of White Cross Volunteers in Thomhill had sherry parties in their homes to which the guests brouzht wrapped gifts and the volun- teers then distributed the gifts to individual members of the homes which they visit regu- larly. Such parties were given by Mrs. L. Coyne. Mrs. H. Mc- Nally and Mrs. B. Marsh. the first time this institution has been included in the gift cam- paign. ter, and many lawyers and doctors in the county. She agreed, however, that there could be need of more service of this type and noted that amend- ments to the Child Wel- fare Act now make the provision of family coun- selling one of the functions of children's aid societies. When asked what he meant by “youth counsel- ling", Mr. Plaxton replied rthat he meant provision of social workers to deal with young people in trouble, to speak to families and help resolve difficulties and con- flicts. “Less than 25% of the CAS budget is spent on preventative measures." he pointed out. "The balance is dealing with problems after they have arisen. If we can keep these people out of trouble the society will have provided a real service 'to the community.” Mrs. Thomson feels the local recreation pro- gram is doing well by the children but leaves something to be desired for the teenage and young married group. “It’s only an eight-month job but you can’t tell this to people who come to your home. You don’t like to refuse them because it would defeat the whole purpose of the job,” she said. “It’s difficult to set down in black and white,” she states, “the duties of a recreation director. It involves many different activ- ities.” Her busy part of the year, of course, is the summertime, when she works eight to 10 hours a day. that time has grown to over a thousand child- ren per day. Mrs. Thomson supervised the various areas and did the hiring of the teenage staff for the summer months as well as train them. “I drew up the recreation brochure as well as the plan for the Crosby Avenue Park area with suggested equipment. “The work doesn’t stop in the winter as in February I start inquiring around for sum- mertime supervisors, people come to you with problems, and you’re asked to make speeches on recreation. The request, if approved will prohibit “the sale of ice cream, or ice cream cones, or candy from a basket, wagon, cart or other vehicle upon any high~ way or part of it or in any pub- lic park or other public place as outlined in section 399 (1) of the Municipal Act.” other vehicle upon any high- way or part of it or in any pub- lic park or other public place as outlined in section 399 (1) of the Municipal Ac .” This would not apply to the Richmond Hill Parks Board's right by agreement to the sale of ice cream, and candy in a public park. North York Township is seek- ing more far reaching legisla- tion from the province to pro- hibit mobile vendors. Its proposal is aimed at giv- ing municipalities complete con- trol over mobile vendors. Two years ago the township banned the sale of ice cream or ice cream cones from mobile vendors. Last summer, mobile vendors started selling what was termed iced milk products in the municipality. A four-week investigation, in which 3 Richmond Hill resident acted as undercover agent, end- ed here Monday afternoon with the surprise arrest of two men in connection with an alleged counterfeit money ring. Charged with conspiring to manufacture counterfeit American money were Carl G. Uteck, 44, of 71 Proctor Avenue, Doncaster, and Joseph Marc Jean Therri- ault, alias John Mark Mar- tin, 33, of Harley, Wiscon- sin and Toronto. The two men were grabbed by members of the anti-racket branch of the OPP as they left the Richmond Inn in com- pany with the undercover agent and an unidentified woman, who ‘was also working with the police. some cloak-and-dagger work in the matter, operating from n vantage point at the back of “The Liberal". In charge of the overall in- vestigation was Chief Inspector James L.

The first vote on acceptance of the budget showed 12 in favor and eight opposed with seven abstentions. After some confusion as to whether the abstainers should be counted with the negative voters, a re- corded vote was called which would have given some of the~more populous munici~ palities plural votes. However, County Solicitor J. D, Lucas ad- vised that a recorded vote was not permissible when the ses- sion was in a committee of the whole, which it was. A second vote was called, which saw the .budget‘ap- proved by a vote of 15 to “I feel people could afford at least the former amount,” she said, “especially if they put a high value on good recreation programs in this leisure age.” Mrs. Thompsbn admitted she had expected at one time to be hired as a fulltime director but such was not to be.
