WOMEN DRIVERS COLLIDE It was then Tuesday. The canine control officer was out in his truck on patrol. received ‘the call over his radio and re- lsponded immediately, arriving on the scene about 4 pm. He returned to his kennels to pick up the special small animal rescue apparatus, the most modern available. which is de- signed for reaching animals on high perches. he apparently did not see the train approaching, Whitchurch Police said. LOSE CONTROL “On my return about 5 pm. I met the cat’s owner. Frank Hrachovsky. who was accomp- anied by two other men. By this time the cat was perched Mr. Ryan reports that he re- ceived a call from the letter writer at approximately 3:30 pm. September 24. reporting that a kitten had been stranded in the top of a nearby tree since Saturday. “Canine Control has never in its history refused to help an injured animal or one in dis- tress at any hour of the day or night, seven days a week â€" and never will," stated Canine Control Officer James Ryan lafter reading a Letter To The Editor, written by Merlin An- drew of Thornhill and pub- lished in this paper last week.

B. A. Wright demonstrated how to make a starch painting from a film. 225-3281 ed at driver Mr. Ryan also supported Vaughan’s fire chief, James Davidson, who declined to take out fire-fighting equipment to rescue the highly-perched cat. “Rescuing animals is not his business. and he would have to refuse such a call since his equipment may be urgently needed to saVe human lives at any moment. Mr. Ryan has since collected his equipment and used it to rescue a pure white, young male cat, from a tall telephone pole on Bathurst Street, a mile north of Elgin Mills Road West. If anyone in that area is missing such an animal he will find it being well cared for at the canine Eontrol kennels on the Markham-Whitchurch Townline. about 60 feet from the ground and every time the rescuer ap- proached, the animal climbed higher. It became a question of following it in the dead elm from limb to limb. All four of us worked from 5 pm to dark, when the owner suggested to me I leave the rescue equipment with him and he would try again in the morning. I willingly loaned him the equipment and I un- derstand that he and his friends worked for several hours the next day in an attempt to save the cat," Mr. Ryan recalls. tion comes into existence. ISOC committees were set up by the provincial government throughout Ontario to smooth out the transition and compile information for the new board. The committees are composed of representatives of each of the existing school boards in the area. Nomination day for the new board will be November 18 with election of board members De- cember 2. Mr. MacKay, a member of Markham TSA No. 1 was dir- unfina hie nnm‘mnnt: at this “Rescuing these animals is our business and we have the proper equipment, which is available for use at all times,” Mr. Ryan declared. This practice prevents sim- ilar incidents to the recent one in which an Ontario Humane Society inspector was electro- cuted while attempting to re- move a cat from a hydro pole. if direct contact is not made with the wires. This could result in death by electrocution for the would-be ‘rescuer and the animal. However, Mr. Ryan states that hydro officials in his area (Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Markham Town- ships) will usually help by re- moving the animal using the hydraulic bucket attached to their trucks. The canine control officer is not permitted to attempt a res- cue when a cat gets on top of a high voltage hydro pole, for obvious reasons. Since the pole of the rescue equipment is of metal the high voltage can jump a sizeable gap, even He went on to say that this call was only one of many sim- ilar ones annually, most of which result in successful res- cue attempts. The rescue equip- ment is capable of handling a small dog or large cat up to a height of 65 feet. At that height it takes two men to manipulate it. “Mr. Hrachovsky told me I was the only one who respond- ed immediately when called." Mr. Ryan reports. The course has also included two Saturday morning workâ€" shops for teachers, one in train- ing in the operation of audio- visual equipment and one on the preparation and production of transparencies for overhead projectors. 183 YONGE STREET NORTH RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Come to I “And if the best possible men and women are to be elected at that time it is essential that the people of the county be aware of the magnitude of the task that will face the new board. ” Mr.‘ Stapleton also reported on the progrws of the interim reports now being prepared by He emphasized that the De- cember election of trustees will be of vital importance in de- termining the future of educa- tion in York County. He outlined the-number of home and school association and other bodies that had al- ready been visited by the com- mittee and urged other groups to hold similar meetings. Executive Secretary William Stapleton noted there "has been a constant increasing em- phasis upon the need for wider communication about 1500 and the coming of the new county board during the past month." "We’ve also had excellent publicity from the county press," he said. “But there are still a lot of persons who seem to be unaware of what is going on, what is happening." He added that a number of people at the meeting had only lived in the area since the last year “ and this might have had something to do with their lack of knowledge." He said that "at one home and school gathering I spoke to there was a great ignorance of the new board. An ignorance of where they go for nomina- tions, who would be standing for office, who would be eli- gible for election." Mr. MacKay also pointed out that the ISOC representatives had been speaking to numerous gatherings on the proposed new educational setup and were planning to talk to numerous other groups. Mr. MacKay, a member of Markham TSA No. 1 was dir- ecting his comments at the regular meeting of ISOC repre- sentatives Thursday night of last week in the Dr. G. W. Wil- liams Secondary School in Aur- ora. Nomination day for the new board will be November 18 with election of board members De- cember 2. Work Education Changes Has Residents In Dark5 The county's 21 present school boards will be dissolved this January 1 when the new York County Board of Educa- tion comes into existence. “I've had the opportunity to speak at home and school meet- ings." he said “and I’ve been amazed at how little people know about the new York County Board of Education and what is going to happen." This was the feeling of alarm expressed last week in Aurora by John MacKay of Thornhill who is chairman of the York County Interim School Organi- zation Committee (ISOC).
