This information had been requested to determine if a crossing guard is essential at this busy intersection. The trutees have asked the township to provide a guard and they have asked its police to investi- gate the need. Village Secretary G. T. Thompson reported he had already passed on the informa- tion contained in the school board‘s letter to the chief of police. John Parsons, ratepayer, thanked the trustees for taking care of several small items he had brought to their attention earlier this year. He asked how the cost of road maintenance was determined and was told that the village pays for all machines at an agreed rate per hour. which was raised slightly this year.

Mr. Williams said. “This will mean a township library board of about nine mem- bers.“ Initially, then, the town- ship library board would opâ€" erate with three branches. but as time passes the library "In the meantime the lib- rary in King City will be operating as usual. The whole system is based on libraries such as ours. It is hoped it will continue to operate on a volunteer basis so it will con- tinue to be a community en- terprise." Mr. Williams con- tinued.

There were 270 at Noble- ton Fire Hall, 252 at King City Fire Hall and 276 at the township garage on Conces- sion 8. Clinics w e r e. held throughout the County of York. with the one at Stouffvllle receiving the greatest response with more than 600 animals being vac- cinated. An additional clinic was held last Monday at Sharon. The service was offered free of charge by the Can- ada Department of Agri- culture after an outbreak of rabies in the township pointed up the fact that the incidence of the disease was increasing in wild life. Just under 800 animals were vaccinated in three free anti-rabies clinics held in King Township Novem- ber 22. Although officials of the department were somewhat disappointed in the re- sponse to the free clinics. they are aware that many people who really are con- cerned about their pets, have them vaccinated reg- ularly by the veterinarian of their choice. Many veterinarians re- port increased numbers of pets receiving these regular protective vaccinations. with one veterinarian reporting 900 vaccinations in the past year.
