In K11 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, March 28, 1968 Socially Speaking Kin City Mrs. Thomson also drew the council's attention to provincial legislation which provides re- imbursement of 50 percent of the cost of nursing care for ‘people who are unable to pay. ‘IShe also stated that the two ‘full-time nurses and five part- time nurses, who provide the VON services only on a doctor’s permission. could cover the whole township with the two automobiles now at their dis- posal. Mr. Macklin has been man- ager of Cloverholm Farms at Temperanceville, owned by Matt Heron. for the past 17 years. The farm, until the dis- persal sale last October. was well known for its prize-winning Guernsey's. Miss Jean Loggie, nurse-in- charge, stated that in 1967 the VON made some 174 calls in the Whitchurch area at a cost of approximately $979. VON fees are $4 per visit or less accord- ing to the ability to pay. Miss Loggie said that $68 had been collected from Whitchurch pa- tients and the remainder of the costs, some $900, had been borne by the VON board which obtains its funds from municipal council grants and from public contributions. The Richmond Hill branch of the VON provides nursing as- sistance to the 14 municipalities making up York County. They have made visits in each town- ship, town and village in the county and Mrs. Thomson said that all but five municipalities make grants to the organization. Mrs. Thomson urged that Whitchurch reduce the five municipalities to four by con- senting to the request of the delegation. Reeve Stewart Burnett thank- ed the women for their presen- tation and assured them that council would consider the re- quest. ’Whitchurch Township Coun- cil was asked at last week’s meeting to provide a grant of $1,500 to the Victorian Order of Nurses for what Mrs. Jean Thomson.

A Congregation's FareWell For the past eight years Rev.

Agar‘s final sermon on March 17. The St. Andrew’s congrega- tion presented the Agars with two oils by one of King’s better known artists Mrs. Rhoda Jar- vis, while the Nobleton congre- gation's choice of cut glass fruit bowl and occasional chair was equally appreciated. The York North member went on to say that he thought the Smith Committee proposal would create a wide breach be- tween the rural and urban areas in the province and urged the government to give very serious consideration to the views of the Association of Ontario Counties. As reported last week Mr. Agar has received a call to the Chatham Presbytery. a call to a two-point charge composed of St. James Presbyterian Church in Thamesville. and Knox Pres- byterian Church in Kent Bridge. I join the many friends of the community in wishing the Agars sincere wishes for all that is good in their new life in Chatham and the feeling of all that you will be missed.

Whitchurch Public School Trustees unveiled the prelimin- ary plans for a modern $620,000 school proposed for an 18 acre site at Concession 5 and the Bloomington Sideroad at the township c o u n c U meeting, March 19. Board Chairman Wesley Bril- linger said that the estimated cost of $620,000 would include all construction and furnishing of the building and the munici- pality’s share would amount to approximately $259,000 while provincial grants would provide some $363,000. Mr. Brillinger added that a well for the school was not in- cluded in the estimate but an operating budget saving should be possible for the new school because it will use electric heat- ing exclusively. Electric heat- ing was cheaper, he said be- cause the thermostats would be turned down when the school is not in use. With the use of room divid- ers, classroom areas can be en- larged as the teaching tech- niques require and if necessary, more “pods” can be added to the school to increase the num- ber of classrooms. Mr. Horton added that this flexibility is par- Mr. Horton said that the board had unanimously agreed on a circular school plan even though this design costs $17 per square foot, one dollar more per square foot than the con- ventional rectangular building. Trustee Keith Horton told council, “We have been at the bottom of the educational bar- rel and this school is our chance to get ahead.” The central core of the school will contain a library resource area and a large general pur- pose room and auditorium with a stage which can be separated by means of dividers for music instruction. Radiating from the central core will be “pods” or units each containing three classrooms and a common room. Although the present design calls for 14 teaching rooms.

It suggests that a regional government should provide as- sessment, planning, taxation, education, parks and recreation, arterial roads, public health, welfare and capital borrowing. “Under the cloak of effici- ency, the Smith Report abol- ishes a century of experience and tradition (county govern- ment) and proposes a system of government that is foreign and untried," Mr. Hodgson charged. He asked the government to give consideration to the asso- ciation’s blueprint for regional government. “I think they are more in tune with what the people want,” he stated.
