Teachers in secondary schools in York County will have an im- pressive list of text books to choose from in addition to those prescribed by the Department of Education. Instead of gathering dust through the summer months. books in the schools of York County will be available on re- quest to local public libraries during the months of July and August. 7 ‘ _ At its regular meeting June 8. the Board of Education agreed to a policy that will give county residents maximum use of books which would not otherwise be available during the school va- cation period. Preamble to the new policy notes that school libraries nor- mally cannot be kept open dur- ing the summer as staff are not available. It also points out that 178 YONGE STREET NORTH/RICHMOND HILL/889-7701 W. 8: P.

School oriented organizations will be encouraged to hold con- ferences on education. as the county board feels that confer- ences organized by such groups will be more likely to focus on items of current concern to ratepayers than similar meet- ings organized by trustees and staff. In adopting policy on confer- ences. the board agreed to make suitable meeting places avail- able without costs. make small grants to defray incidental costs, supply reasonable admin- istrative assistance such as du- plicating notices and programs. and at the request of the organi- zation. supply planning assist- ance by trustees or staff. The board's communications committee will be responsible for making and approving such arrangements as may be neces- sary for these conferences or meetings. The policy does not cover local home and school or parent‘teacher aswciation meet- Ings. The contract for construction of a new secondary school in Aurora has been awarded to Konvey Construction Company of the Town of Markham. The tender price, $3,844,470. is about $300,000 over the amount budgetted for the pro- ject. however, and trustees agreed that architects and staff should go over the tender and investigate alternatives which could reduce the total price.

One Health Unit Effective June 30 In session June 3. York County Council agreed to dis- solution of the York-Oshawa Health Unit effective June 30. and the formation of an inde- pendent York County Health Unit The new unit will continue to operate from the main office in }Newmarket and the area offices 1in Richmond Hill and Sutton. “There has been little liaison. the only link has been at the senior admmistrative level. the Medical Officer of Health and supervisors." Joint capital assets are rela- tively insignificant. said Mr. Wright, and 75 percent of the budget comes from the proâ€" Vince. Both Health Minister Thomas Wells and Municipal Affairs Minister Darcy McKeough have agreed that health units should follow municipal boundaries, he said. and grants are paid on a quarterly basis. June 30. Mr. Wright pointed out, is the end of the second quarter. In reply to a protest from Deputy-reeve Anthony Roman of Markham Toivnship that it seemed a little premature to dissolve the York-Oshawa unit before the end of the year, County Solicitor Douglas Lucas said the county would have to pass a bylaw dissolving the pre- ent unit. but either party can withdraw from the agreement on receipt of written notice. Appointed to the new board of health for York County were Mr. Wright, Reeve Albert Lajd~ law of the Town of Markham, Reeve Stewart Rumble of Mark- ham Township, Reeve McLean and Dr. Slingerland. “The board recommends that a new board of health be ap- pointed by York County Coun- cil and that Dr. Owen Slinger- land be retained as Chief Medi- cal Officer of Health." “The transition should be very smooth. We can carry on with the present staff to the end of 1970.” The board also recommended that present staff now employed by the York County section of the unit be retained.
