Reporting to a meeting of the board of education on Monday, Newmarket Trustee Jack Hadfield told the trustees the young people would like a qcentre of their own where they can have a snack bar, record players, plan their own programs and police the centres ithemselves. Ideally, said Mr. Hadfield, ‘the centres would be open 2-1: hours a day, seven days a week, “But the ideal is not pos- sible in schools.” Plastering _ Painting & Decorating Radio & TV Service Rental Service Roofing Septic Tank Service Heating Specialists Fuel Landscaping Surveying Typewriters Washer Repairs Welding Upholstering This was the message pie-senâ€" ted by young people from vari- ous county municipalitfies who attended a meeting on youth in Aurora Community Centre on Sunday afternoon.

He told the board that the young people would prefer an old house or other building rather than a school as a drop- in centre because of associa- tion of schools to “the estab- lishment", but that schools should be made available to youth in the summer, and it was agreed that staff should work with municipal recreation committees to see what could be done in providing facilities.

To Improve Physical Education Library Programs In R.C. Schools Additional staff and equip- ment will be added to Roman Catholic schools in the county in the fall to improve services in speech correction, remedial reading, libraries and physicaT education programs. At its regular meeting on April 21, York County Roman Catholic School Board agreed to hire a second speech specia- list, a primary consultant and a physical education consultant. It was pointed out that this does not mean there are more children in the system with speech problems, but the vast distance between schools make it impossible for the present speech therapist to give ade- quate service to all students ‘needing it. u, unauuc nu nu, yxvuvnhy speech therapist to give ade- quate service to all students needing it. Assistance Superintendent John Zupanic showed films of classes in action and told the‘ trustees that the physical educa- tion in some schools suffers be- cause equipment is inadequate and teachers are not qualified to develop a well-rounded pro- gram in this area. Board Chairman Eugene Ja- uuy Five additional teacher lib-‘ rarians will also be added to staff, bringing the total to 11 teacher-librarians. Mr. Zupanic explained that a teacher - lib- rarian is a fully qualified teacher with library training training that some will serve full time in one school, while others will be half time in one school, and some will serve smaller schools, going from school to school on a part- nnhc acman that nhvginal fitness time basis in each.

It was earlier pointed out by Clerk-Treasurer Harold Rose that withholding a portion of the tax bill would cost the township additional expenses amounting to $7,769.05. 1 The physical education con- sultant will work with principals deciding priorities in equipment for the various schools. Five additional remedial teaâ€"l chers .will be hired so that re- medial teaching will be availâ€" able in all schools in the system1 in York County. In addition, special education classes will be“ maintained in Newmarket, Oak‘ Ridges and Richmond Hill. | The board has budgetted this year for books to bring the basic resources up to 1,200 books in each of the schools that did not receive this number in 1969.

RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE RICHMOND HILL RESIDENTIAL-COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL Just prior to Monday night‘s} meeting a terse memo was re-‘ leased under the names of Reeve Gordon Cook and Depu-‘ ty-reeve Ken Mactaggart. The memo read: “Due to the great discussion on county assessment and resol- utions on industrial assessment in other municipalities the reeve and deputy-reeve of King Township feel the meeting should be cancelled until the assessment problem is settled in other municipalities."

The township has still to give final approval on its 1970 $2,522,895.26 tax levy of which the York County Board of Edu- cation’s desired $230,805.33 inâ€" crease is the proverbial thorn. Mr. Rowe suggested at that time that the council go ahead and pass the 1969 request by the board of education of $1350.99!) and withhold the $230,805.33 increase until later in the year. The meeting â€"â€" the fourth in a] series of such get-togethers dealing with the passing of the budget â€" was called! after COuncillor Gordon Rowe re- belled against just automatical- ly going along with what the York County Board of Educa- tion wanted it to do. (See earlier story' on Page 4). He said the council could then levy a further tax bill for the remaining $230,805.33 at the later date. ‘ “This would let all the tax- payers know,” he said, “just how much of an increase they are being faced with. It would have a greater impact.” It was Mr. Evans‘ opinion that “the effect of those pro- visions is that the township council must include in its es- timates and levy the amounts properly required by the county board of education for public school purposes and for second- ary school purposes. “Council would be acting beyond its powers to attempt to levy either greater or lesser amounts than those required.
