Children and parents alike came in for their lumps Monâ€" day night as Richmond Hill Town Council assessed the re- cent acts. of vandalism to Nor- way maple trees at the Beverley Acres Public School. Councillor Ivan Mansbridge. who represents Ward 1 where the school is located. said it was "shocking to see the mali- cious damage at the Beverley Acres School and particularly at «he Crosby Heights Senior School."

Councillor William Lazenby suggested that even if it did cost more to stop such vandal- ism that it “would mean less expense to the community in the long run. The community would benefit by discouraging such actions.” Dr. McCallum emphasizes however. that the psychologi- cal services team is not a medical service and not a long term treatment agency. Thus. seriously disturbed children are referred to other agencies in the community such as the Psychiatric Out- Paticnts‘ Service of York County Haspital, Nemnarket. the various clinics of the Hospital for Sick Children, the Clarke Institute of Psy- chiatry. the Ontario Crippled Children’s Centre, the Suth- erland Educational Clinic and the Toronto Mental Health Clinic, all of which have been co-operative and helpful in roviding services to stud- ents.

Councillor Lois Hancey charged that “there are too many citizens not carrying out their responsibilities as parents and citizens.

Efâ€" ll‘ective immediately anyone who 1has had a rental heater £01 eight years will now own it rent free. At the end of the eight year period the heater will auâ€" tomatically become the prop- erty of the customer and he will no longer have to pay the {$1.50 monthly rental charge. Mr. Cook said the new policy has been made possible because of the wide acceptance of rental units by town residents.

However, that is just what Mr. Redelmeier, Vaughan’s representative on the Authority, did for two afternoons last week. The fact that he went down to defeat, that the Authority approved by a vote of 29 to 15 Metro’s use of its land on the Hum- ber Valley flood plains as a garbage dump, is no re- flection on his efforts. New Rental Heater Plan :. JASON ads Expa SON Met xpanded By MARGARET NIL-LEAN ALLY)! Services in all things Charity into the second largest sanitary land fill project in North Amer- ica. Questioned closely by Mr. Redelmeier, he readily admitted that the three proposals made in and thus these people will be the first to benefit from the new plan. The water heaters which are built to hydro speciâ€" fications have a guaranteed life of 10 years. Even though the customer will own the heater after eight years the local hydro will still service the unit free of charge. In the event the unit fails and has to be replaced before the 10 year guarantee expires. rental charges on the new unit will not be reinstated until the end of the guarantee period of the original installation. This way the customer is assured of two years free of rental charges. Individual and group tests will also be administered to children for purposes of diag- nostic and remedial work, determining intelligence lev- els and information on per- sonal and social adjustment. These tests will be more spe- cific than those in the group testing program and in the past have been used for spe- cial class placement and for planning specific remedial The team is also planning and will assist in system-wide testing programs. A group testing program was develop- ed last year containing a core program for various grades in the elementary and sec- ondary schools Its purpose is to establish basic achieve- ment and learning capacit) data on each pupil to aid in assessing his educational po- tential and growth, ures for use within the school system.

While costs of incineration are approximate- ly $5 per ton and of sanitary land fill $1.50 per ton, incinerat- ors can be close to the source of the refuse and costly hauling is avoided. When hauling costs reach the $3.50 per ton differ- ence between the two methods. then their costs are equal. he stated. Preliminary work on the planned $1,051,500 reconstruct- ion program for Yonge Street in Richmond Hill is going a- head on schedule. “There have been no holdu‘ps or major difficulties”, accord- ing to Councillor Lois Hancey who is co-chairman of the town's works committee. “Things are proceeding in the normal fashion for a major project such as this. There is a lot of preliminary engineer- ing to do before actual work can get underway." Mrs. Hancey feels that con- struction should still get und- erway sometime this fall as originally forecast in May, pro- viding no unforeseen problems arise. Preliminary plans involve the completion of construction drawings to Department of Mr. Fennerty also admitted that the incinerator design had been much improved and that it was possible to locate them in large population centres. al- though not 100’“; of fly ash could be caught. “Then the main reason (for choosing sanitary land fill) is the political difficulty of raising the capital cost of incinerators" asked Mr. Redelmeier. “That is certainly the most attractive thing about going to (Continued on Page 15) Yonge Reconstruction On Schedule Imuumuummmltunmumuumumummnumnmuluuumuu $1,051,500 Project While during the first year. the team's foremost need was to get acquainted with the student population and the types of difficulties present, during 1967-8 the diagnostic-remedial consult- ant plans to undertake an exâ€" perimental study to deter- mine the efficiency of several different methods of teach- ing reading.
