The dependence of local municipalities on property taxes also came under scathing criticism. In order to keep his municipality alive, the local politician must “crucify his planning principles in order to get assessment. even if it is an environment disaster." he said. “He will do almost anything to get a provincial grant and planning takes second place." l i 3 If 'we get some shift in tax patterns, Mr. Pearson felt that‘ difl‘erent government services. functions of: would be ,found. dealing with services to property and some special 10cal Pianners. he said. should have a moral commitment to speak truly. to defend the public inter- est against pressures and to leave to the future the best pat- Queen And Her Court 1 Municipal aSSistance is to include guidance and information programs to , enable municipalities to as- i sist in the controlled. plan- : ned and orderly economic , growth of the region by at- i tracting suit-able develop- ! ment.

CONSULT THE LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS FOR BIG BARGAINS {Photo by Stuart’s Studio) Get School Facilities For Summer Program mumuuummuuu\\1“ummun\xtuuuuuunummmuumuuuuv Town Recreation Richmond Hill Recreation Committee was granted use of school facilities for its summer playground program by the pub- lic school board at its May 15 meeting. These facilities include a portable at Pleasantville School. a portable at MacKillop School and washroom facilities, two portables at Walter Scott School and washroom facilities, two classrooms and the gymnasium at Beverley Acres School and washroom facilities, and a room at McConaghy School and wash- room facilities. The latter will accommodate the summer playgrofind form- erly held in the town park, where bullying from older boys has been reported in recent years. It is hoped that the move will make conditions much pleasanter for the young chilâ€" dren attracted to the play- ground, it was reported. No playground is planned for Crosby Heights School this year, it was also reported. uuuummnmuumumumumtlu\nxluuunmummumumumun Old School Bell Will Ring Again For many yearS. the bell served as the tocsin to sum- mon the village’s volun- teer firemen when they were needed. This practice was continued during day- time hours until the three- room addition was built on the front of the school about a decade ago. Many a young or middle- aged man, who grew up in Richmond Bill. will fondly recall the Halloweens on which he vigorously pulled the rave which moved the clapper which beat out the fire alarm on the bell. The bell was cast from brass in a foundry in Balti- more, Maryland. in 1897. It was first hung in the bclfry of the public school which was replaced in 1915 by the four-classroom nuc- leus of the present McCon- aghy School. PulJils of the school. as part of their Centennial program, decided to seek permission from the Rich- mond Hill Public School Board to have the bell rope restored and the bell rung each school day at 12 noon to dismiss the classes. Per- mission was granted and the new rope was installed last Thursday. The idea was originated by Leslie Gra- ham and Beth Flannigan who petitioned the school board. The old school bell in the belfry at McConaghy School will be heard again each school day in Centennial year, beginning May 30. Epic makes the scene with a brand new look in two exciting models.
