Maple Trustee F. W. Young attended the council meeting and pointed. out that the village had assumed the $14,000 cost of sidewalks on Keele Street when it was reconstructed last year by the Toronto and York Roads Commission. While the trustees had reluctantly agreed to pay for the Maple Sideroad reconstruction, they had asked that the township assume 50% of the cost of the extension westward from the present walk to the west limit of the village. Original recommendation put before council was that council was not prepared to share In this cost. Over strong objections of Reeve Brian Bailey, Vaughan Township Council agreed last week to pay half the costs of 1,070 feet of sideâ€" walk on the south side of Maple Sideroad within the Village of Maple.

It is not often a person is kicked by a wooden horse, but it happened on Yonge Street North at Jefferson Wednesday afternoon of last week. A wooden sawhorse fell from at northbound truck and struck Margaret O’Hara, 27, 2059 Yonge Street. Toronto, as she waited to cross Highway 11 near the Orange Home. Miss O’Hara was treated at York Central Hospital. The accident was in- vestigated by OPP Constable Chris Clarke. Savndra Fitzpatrick, Weston. received minor injuries in a car- truck collision on Highway 7 at 8th Avenue, Woodbridge. Miss Fitzpatrick was driver of a car which had stopped in the east- bound lane, David Audit, 25, was the driver of the truck in- volved, also eastbound. Mr. Audit lives at 22 Gair Drive, THE Challenge Mr. Young’s presentation. moved that the town- ship accede to the trustees’ request. Cost of the 1,070 feet of sidewalk was estimated at $5,243 and this amount would be eligible for a 50% provincial subsidy. This would leave $1,310 to be paid by both the township and the village. In spite of the small amount of money in- volved, Reeve Bailey objected to the subsidizing of village sidewalks by residents of the township as a whole, terming it a “sweetheart deal”. The village already received preferential treatment in its roads budget, he insisted and the trustees had “never budged an inch” when council had tried to come to a more equitable arrangement. (Village residents pay no share of township road costs but pay for only the roads within the confines of the village.) Mr. Young replied that the trustees do con- tribute to some things outside their jurisdiction and that they “endeavor to co-operate as well as we can.” In a recorded vote. it was agreed that the township should pay the sum requested, with Deputy-l'eeve Garnet Williams and Councillors McArthur and David Fraser voting in favor and Reeve Bailey and Councillor Charles Birkett opposed. “I am going by your submission when we asked you to come up with the same levy as the rest of the township for road purposes,” replied Mr. Bailey. ancer The Canadian Cancer Soc- iety lists these seven danger signals as possible signs of early cancer: ‘11 Unusual bleeding or discharge. «2) A lump or thickening of the breast or elsewhere. 13) A sore that does not heal. (4) Persistent changes in bowel or bladder habits. 15) Persist- ent hoarseness or cough. 16) Persistent indigestion or dif- ficulty in swallowing. (7) Change in a wart or a mole. These signs do not always mean cancer but if you no- tice any of them, tell your doctor. If they are caused by cancer, early treatment is essential.

Mrs. Michael Weidenlelder with Thomas and Michaela of 22 Clemson Crescent return- ed last Friday from a three week vacation in Europe. They flew to Frankfurt and then trav- elled to Heilbron. up the Rhine River through Bonn to Cologne.

Pam is coming along nicely however. and earlier this week was expecgg to get home Thursday or friday, minus both her gallbladder and appendix. At Osnabrueck they spent a few days with the parents of Mrs. H. Pflug of Maple and then went on to Hamburg where they much enjoyed a tour of the har- bor and a visit with Mrs. Weid- enfelder's aunt. . . .

After returning Barb to Hamburg. the trio took a six her bi] hour boat trip to the Island of barbed Helgoland. a beautiful island in Bonnie the North Sea between the coast A ne of_Ge1‘n1any and England. ENE,“ Friends told Mrs. Weidenfeld- er that it was the loveliest April in Germany for many years and lilacs and other spring flowers Were in full bloom. The only damper on the children's happiness over their trip was that on their first day back at school, 9-year-old Thom- as had a flag, his only souvenir of the Island of Helgoland, stol- en from his bicycle. Thomas is a grade 4 student at Joseph Gibson School and would dearly one to have his flag returned. It is triangular in shape, green, white and red with a shield on one side and a picture of the island. in red. on the other. Perhaps any parent who sees a child with such a flag could persuade him or her to put it in the lost and found box at the school.
