However, he advises that before the $100,000 worth of architectural drawings that are neces- sary for the project are commissioned, a decision will have to be made whether to proceed with this project or another similar one to be built in the vicinity of Montreal. Each one would take three years to complete and there would be a three year gap between the twoi Dr. Magee pointed out how difficult it was here to get all levels of government working together on such a project but felt that there would not be this difficulty in the Province of Quebec. “The visitor will be king while he’s there,” said Dr. Magee. “I’m amazed that so many know what they want â€" we are out to give it to them."

Objection had been raised to the bylaw and it was the subject of an OMB hearing July 7. In handing down its decision, the OMB stated that it was ap- parent that developers were buying up farms in the township and dividing them into 10 acre lots. This was felt to interfere with effective planning of the township. At the hearing it was stated that 20% of township land is held by speculators. Most of the 10 to 25 acre lots in the township are on poorly developed 5 e c o n d a r y roads which makes them difficult to serve the fire, police and school buses, etc. King Twp. Gets OMB Approval 25-Acre Bylaw Lots of less than 10 acres will not be affected by the bylaw 1they are already controlled under the planning act) nor will the presently existing 347 lots of between 10 and 25 acres. The bylaw had received un- animous endorsation of the township council at its July 13 meeting but prior to that had aroused considerable objection at a planning board meeting from Chairman William Hodg- son and Board Member Alf Le- masurier. September 16 will be a gala day for the people of Whitchurch Township when the Centennial project, a spanking new 40 by 90 foot community centre on eight acres of land, is officially opened. The brand new building, just completed. will provide fine accommodation for many events in the years to come. On September 16, it will house a dance and en- tertainment. The park already contains a ball diamond. and a hock- ey cushion‘ Plans are to add a pleasure skating rink for this winter, and other facilities will be added in the future. it is expected. The eight acres will pro- vide lots of room Septem- ber 16 for the planned acti- vities which start at 10 am. The full day‘s program in- cludes children's races, senior baseball, other ball games. pony rides and a chicken barbecue. The Newmarket Citizens’ Band will be in attendance dur- ing the afternoon to add to the enjoyment. The Centennial Commit- tee appointed by council. which has been in charge of this project, along with other imaginative efforts, is composed of Clifford Wallwork (chairman). Vern Davies.

Dr. Perry, who is the direc- tor of the out-patients psychia- tric service for York County Hospital, will supervise admit- tance of slow learners to the four classes now operated by the board. There are 65 such pupils in the township schools at the present time. Board Chairman Geoffrey Pierpoint said last week that such appointments were being made general and that “it pro- vides added insurance to the parents that no child will be wrongfully admitted.” The appointment of Dr. Perry was made at the recommenda- tion of Inspector Maynard Hall- man, who in a letter cited Sec- tion 57 (1) of the Schools Ad- ministration Act which noted a properly qualified psychiatrist should supervise admittances to auxiliary classes in company with a board of admissions body. He added the township hoard had.provided a well qualified special education department but the appointment would as- sure a continuation of high standards. Mr. Pierpoint said that. no children had been admitted to township auxiliary classes with- out the parents’ consent. Place Dr. Paul Perry In Charge Of Auxiliary Class Placements In other business, the board upped the rate for supply teachâ€" ers to $22 a day instead of the former $20 to keep in line with area municipalities. Business Administrator Bruce Hunter said a teacher might average five days off in a school year and that there were prob- ably a dozen sparetime supply teachers available to handle the classes. “The number varies," he said, “we get names and lose them and get others." Water consumption in the Police Village of King City dur- ing the month of July, 1967, totalled only 2,192,000. a daily average of 70,000 gallons. Com- parative figures for 1966 are 5,901.000 for the month and 190,000 daily average. These figures were presented at the August 14 meeting of the vil- lage trustees by Commissioner Jim Wilkins. The commissioner commented that this was a re- sult of the greater-than-normal rainfall during the month, The board accepted an ap- plication from the separate‘ “Although we still had some residents who insisted on water- ing their lawns even when it was training," he commented.

Trustee Wilkins noted that there had been no watermain breaks recently and Mr. Thomp- son told him it was the wrong season. “They always occur in the winter from the action of the frost.

This well is located on land which was expropriated from the de- velopment company. The company will be signing a 60 home subdi- vision agreement with the township, it was reported. The new standard township subdivision agreement will be used and the village trustees will supervise the regulations concerning pro- vision of water. This information was given by Trustee Jim Wil- kins in response to a ques- tion from a ratepayer. He stated that the trustees can't reveal any more de- tails of the settlement until the subvislon agreement is signed. “I am confident you will be quite surprised.” he said “and will find it to the benefit of the village."

On the evening of August 9. a Centennial Campfire held at the camp was of special inter- est as it was an across Canada operation involving numerous camping organizations. At the designated time of 9 pm a torch was carried down from the hills and was used to ignite the main campfire. Senior boys of the group. attired in the ceremon- ial costumes of the different Indian tribes, performed intri- cate dances, while the rest of the young “Richildacampians” filled the air with traditional campfire songs. A most inspir- ing evening with praise for a job well done. When I wrote about Ed Mil- lard attending the Pan American Games, some weeks back, I fully expected to do a follow up the next week. As most of you must have noticed there was very little said about the wrestl- ing results and no coverage whatsoever via the television. This plagued me no end. Miss Cindy Corlass of Hamil- ton, concluded a very pleasant week’s visit at the home of her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Scott, Elizabeth Grove. About People King City You will be pleased to learn. as I was, that Ed brought honors to Canada by winning a bronze. He was not too pleased with his showing and felt that he hadi "goofed" somewhat. At the risk ‘ of sounding prejudiced, I feel that a lot more of Canada's fine athletes were robbed of medals right and left by a few myopic judges. Sincere congratulations to a deserving young man and don’t let them “throw you”. I pulled a honor when I reported that Johnnie Millard was a wrestl~ ing enthusiastic, it should have been Donnie (Sorry about that). Gail McPhee of Keele Street North attended her regular swimming lesson at the Illiohan Pool last week, and probably scores of other children did the same thing. The un- usual side to this bit of news is the fact that although she is only seven years old. and was not at the pool for any special test, she volunteered to act as a "body" during the life-saving trials. Young Gail must have shown her capability during these trials, and because of it. earned her elementary life-sav- ing status. Well done! Mrs. Archie Gillies and sons Douglas, Lloyd and Kevin of Plato. Saskatchewan, have been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Gillies on the 6th Concession.
