Mr. Rose introduced members of his staff who represented each grade and special services. Consensus was that, for best re- sults. classes should be smaller, classrooms should be larger pro- viding more space, desks should be discarded in favor of tables seating more than one pupil. and floors should be carpeted as a noise deadener. ‘ This was felt to be most im- portant in the primary grade: where the children often art seated in groups on the floor. (The board recently decided to install carpeting in the new lib- rary at Walter Scott School. at the request of the principal and librarian, who were willing to make do with a minimum of furniture to get the carpeting. The children sit on the carpet- ing individually and in groups. and the noise is kept to a mini- mum, it is claimed). Other teachers felt that some classrooms, particularly in the primary division, should have two staff members. Even a lay helper could relieve the teacher of many routine tasks to con- centrate on instructing and giv- ing more help to the children who need it. SI Representatives of the junior division felt their greatest need was for specialists in various areas to which they could send children with special learning problems. Public School (kindergarten to grade 6), Principal Duard Rose told Richmond Hill Public School Board at its meeting September 26. By MARY DAWSON Many of the recommendations of the Hall-Dennis Report on Education are already in opera- tion in Beverley Acres Junior VOL. 91, N0. 11 Hall-Dennis Recommendations Already In Use Beverley Acres Public School Since the new concept of learning takes the child out of the classroom into the outside world frequently, it was also suggested that more busses be made avail- able for excursions. It was explained that at present an allowance of 50 cents per pupil is available for each trip, “but this doesn’t take us very far”. Excursions to the museum. Pioneer Vil- lage and similar locations are needed particularly by the culturally deprived child, it was felt. An increase in the amount of audio-visual equipment was also advocated. “We have one over- head projector for 35 teachers," it was noted. It was suggested that the new large board should consider setting up a central re- source centre with equipment for taping educational TV pro- grams for those teachers unable to make use of them at the regular times of broadcast. Beverley Acres School has four TV sets, which are in constant use. it was reported.

Mr. Dennis was co-chair- man of the Committee on Aims and Objectives of Education, serving as its secretary for two years. This is the committee which produced the controversial Hall-Dennis philosophy of learning. under the title, “Living and Learning". This report recommended sweep- ing changes in the concept of education. changes which will be implemented in the near future. Under the new concept. every child will progress at his own rate of speed in all sub- jects. Mr. Dennis has been a teacher and principal with the Toronto Board of Edu- cation and joined the On- tario Department of Educa~ tion in 1965. He will be assisted by a panel during a discussion period, and there will be a period in which the audi- ence may ask questions. The opportunity for people in this area to hear Mr. Dennis has been ar- ranged by Richmond Hill Public School Board, which extends an invitation to all people interested in educa- tion to attend.

Ontario Hydro Rates Up 9 And Ha|f°/o Tues. Ontario Hydro customers in rural areas face a 992% percent rate increase tomorrow, but shouldn’t have another increase for about two years, George Gathercole, Ontario H y d r o chairman, said today. About 500,000 customers are affected. A large part of York including Markham, King and Whitchurch Town- ships are served by Ontario Hydro. The rural service ran at a loss last year, Gathercole said. He blamed increases in costs of equipment, wages, borrowing, property and supplies for the rate increase. ate on the matter. Two years ago, voters were asked if they were in favor of a township owned hydro system and voted in the affirmative, but they were not asked at that time if they wished the system run by an elected commission. Accordingly, the township must now ask the voters in the December election: “Are you in favor of the Corporation of the Township of Vaughan passing a bylaw to entrust the construc- tion of the works for the supply of electrical power and the con- trol and management of the works to a commission to be called ‘The Hydro Electricl Commission of the Township of Vaughan.’ ” If the voters reply to this question in the affirmative, the members of the commission could not be elected until the next township election in two years’ time. At its September 24 meeting, council instructed that a bylaw be prepared for the October 8 meeting, authorizing the sub- mission of the question to the ielectorate. “Burn the MTARTS”, was the immediate reply of Mr. Milani. “It has com- pletely disregarded all con- cepts of living in this area.” He further charged that the report ignores the historical trend‘ of Metro’s northward de- velopment; has not considered the drainage of areas to be de- veloped; has disregarded trans- portation in the area with the exception of a new Highway 404 and has not recognized that both it and present Highway 400 are designed to serve fu- ture development in the area. “It also disregards pres- ent investment trends,” he insisted. “There is one billion dollars already in- vested in land within a 30 mile radius from Etobicoke to Pickering. This will not retreat because of MTARTS, it will remain as a pressure on government.” His chief criticism however, was that the report disregards the immediate need of housing for Metro “A pressing need, Vaughan Township Council last week agreed to instruct its solicitors to bring a motion be- fore the Ontario Municipal Board that Metro Toronto‘s ap- plication for the use of the North Thackeray site as a gar- bage dump be dismissed. Over a year ago. the OMB granted Metro the use of the 180 acre South Thackeray site for a dump but adjourned the hearing on the BOO-acre north site. OMB Chairman J. A. Ken- nedy instructed at that time that the application for the north site should be considered in conjunction with Metro’s pro- posed plan to utilize the Maple gravel pits for the, same pur- pose. He warned Metro, though, that it should not delay its ap- plication unduly. Metro’s chief argument for both the North and South __ -â€"-â€" I‘d MetroDumpAppIication Thackeray sites (north of Steel- es Avenue, on the west bank of the Humber River) was the emergency situation which had arisen because of lack of dump sites. The motion to have Metro‘s application dismissed was made by Councillor David Fraser. Councillor Charles Birkett ob- jected, however, asking if it would not be better to first ask the townships solicitors their opinion on making such a move. “I have," replied Councillor Fraser, himself a lawyer. "I would rather hear it from the horse's mouth,” replied Councillor Birkett. Councillor Fraser then amend- ed his motion. asking the solici- tors to take action for dismissal of Metro’s application "at their discretion." The motion then carried with Councillors Birkett and Dalton McArthur opposed. ti““N‘Wlllli“\“ii\“illllmmmmIlllllll\llllllllllllllllllll“illlllll\\\\11\\\\\\\l1l“\“\““till“lllmmmlllllllml“\\\l\l\\\\l“\\\\\llllll“1|“llfill““\llllllm“il“\“\\““l“\““l“‘“W‘lmmii‘ lllllllllllllllllillllllllllllll1lllllll\lllllllllllllllllllll“\lllllllllllllllll“lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“ll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllll'F - i- A A Sewage Plant Because Markham Town- ship‘s John Street sewage plant “is not producing a satisfactory effluent", and there an no firm plans for increasing the existing water supplies, Ontario Water Re- sources Commission has ad- vised that it cannot approve two new subdivisions proâ€" posed for the Thoi‘nhiu area.

Barr now suggests that plans to serve the jail farm property be dropped so there will be no commitment to serve it before the Bay Wood and Presidio Subdivisions are built. Servicing of part of the jail farm property was orig- inally proposed in order to provide the township with balancing industrial assess- ment to offset the two res- idential subdivisions. Toronto had also agreed to pay $150,000 towards cost of a trunk sewer to serve the jail farm as an enticement to prospective buyers for the property which it has been attempting to sell for years. Old Boo/(s On Sale 3%“ RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCT. 3, 1968 In East Gwillimbury, Mr. MacDonald has sheen responâ€" ‘sible for a caise load of about 60 while York County 'as a whole is expected to have -a case load of approximately 600. Although both men were qualified for the post, it was considered that Mr. McDowell was more highly qualified. The department recommends one field worker for each 70 to 80 cases and it is expected that there will be about six field workers required to oper- ate the county welfare system when it coms into effect in January. The department will work closely with the new county ad- ministrator for several months, it was stated, and will help train both the administrator and the field workers. The salary for the new ad- ministrator was not mentioned during the discussion at York‘ County Council. It is under- stood however, that Mr. Mc- Dowell had asked a higher re- muneration (around $12,000) and that Mr. MacDonald was willing to work for considerably less. No mention was made of the six field workers or their salaries. Ontario Hydro customers in rural areas face a 992% percent rate increase tomorrow, but shouldn’t have another increase for about two years, George Gathel‘cole, Ontario H y d r o chairman, said today. I “In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity” Councillor Allan Sumner and Deputy-reeve S. J. Gad- sby, during discussion of the stalemate at the Sep- tember 23 council meeting, were both in favor of adopt- ing the OWRC suggestion and forgetting servicing of the jail farm property. Councillor Sumner com- plained that Toronto has dragged its feet for years on sale of the property. “As recently as a year ago the farm was going to be for a monkey and elephant zoo, and be‘ore that it was to be a drum: tank." he stormed. “As long as this council is caught between the vacilla- tions of the OWRC and the city, I don‘t feel like helping the City of Toronto.” he said. and added, “There was never (Photo by Stuart’s Studio) Salaries of the administrator and the field workers are sub- ject to approval by the province which pays 50% of this item.

Deputy-reeve Gadsby was in agreement. He felt the plant facilities would be better used for immediate subdivisions. “That will bring development of the farm much faster,” he sug- gested. Reeve Stewart Rumble op- posed the suggestion how- ever. “I don't feel like go- ing back on our word to the city, Markham isn’t noted for that," he said. The motion to delete the jail farm from the area to be served by the John Street plant was subsequently lost and the matter will be dis- cussed further with OWRC. Mimi Plan Freezes Vaughan Is Ten Years Too Late The three public spirited cit- izens who showed up were Reeve Brian Bailey, Planning Board Chairman Norn Garriock and Thornhill Developer C. D. Milani. However, all three were well informed about the MTARTS Report, concerned about its affect on the township and am- ticula-te, if somewhat opinion- ated, in their criticisms of it. Consensus was that the MTARTS Report was 10 years too late to stop de‘ velopment in Vaughan Township. “What of farming in Vaughan?” asked Philip Wade, a director of the MTARTS Re- port who was engaged by CORDC as a consultant to pre- ipare this submission to the gov- lemment on it. “Farming can no longer be carried on economically here.” replied Mr. Milani. “Good farmers are no longer inter- ested because they know their farms won’t last." A supposedly public meeting held in Maple September 25 by the Central Ontario Regional Development Council turned out to be instead a private re- cording session when only “three members of the “pgblicj’ turned up. l Reeve Bailey pointed out that membership in the town- ship’s branch of the Federa- tion of Agriculture had drop- ped from 125 to 60 last year. “They’ll be lucky if they have 20 this year,” he said. DThe‘Vrneeting was called to discuss, the proirincial government’s recent two and a half million dollar Metro Toronto and Region Transportation Study and its effect on the municipalities lying in Metro’s shadow, such as Vaughan Township. Mr. Bailey said that he saw little interest in preserving farming in the township and that the idea of its disappearing is accepted. Farmers wouldn’t build new barns or even, ,a Sikh, he contended. “You “axe: .10 years too late.” v ‘ Mr. Garriock disagreed that there was. no interest in pre- serving farming. “It’s not that they don’t want to farmifl he said. “It’s that the economics are so bad.” He cited the high cost of labor in the area and said he knew several instances where farmers had sold out, not at land speculation prices, but merely because they could not operate economically, and had moved to other areas “more farm oriented.” This applies as far north as Bradford, he says. “What would change this pattern?” asked Mr. Wade, ob- viously startled at those dis- closures and admitting that the planners had never uncov- ered this aspect of‘ the situa- tion. Township Engineer Dusan Miklas stated that unsatis- factory effluent from the John Street plant during July was largely due to a technical difficulty which has since been corrected. He also stated, however, that a large part of the dif- ficulty lies with the loadage. The plant is designed to carry 34 million gallons daily but present flow is only 200,000 gallons daily. He felt that increased flow from the Bay Wood and Presidio Subdivisions or the jail farm, it developed. would correct the problem. The Bay Wood Subdivision has already received draft plan approval from the township and is to be for- HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 By MARGARET McLEAN now being considered by the federal government” (in its housing task force). The report also disregards present industrial areas within the Metro circle, he said, which need homes on the north side of Steeles Avenue to comple- ment them, there being no fur- ther residential land within Metro for this purpose. "You have also disregarded the fine transportation facilities here," he charged Mr. Wade. “Your Goals Plan IV (with sat- ellite cities at Guelph, Orange- ville, Alliston and Barrie) will involve enormously more trans- portation costs to serve them than if you were to develop around Vaughan.” He was also incensed at the admission from Mr. Wade that M’I'ARTS personnel had not Vaughan Asks Dismissal MetroDumpAppIicatio-n Vaughan Township Council last week agreed to instruct its solicitors to bring a motion be- fore the Ontario Municipal Board that Metro Toronto‘s ap- plication for the use of the __c- Over a year ago, the OMB granted Metro the use of the 180 acre South Thackeray site for a dump but adjourned the hearing on the 600-acre north site.

Mr. Wade advised that serving the area with sewers was felt to be difficult. “But the OWRC has a plan for a sewer trunk line for the area," was the swift rejoinder from Mr. Bailey. “They re- fused to reveal it to us until a decision is reached on the MTARTS proposals,” he aid with some bitterness. The entire audience (all three of them) was in agreement that Vaughan’s development could be adequately served by up stream sewage plants, such as the one OWRC recently ap- proved for the Carrville area.
