Finally, it is not uncommon for a train to be invaded by a horde of school children wearing uni- forms Which are frequently ill fitting and bearing knapsacks containing books and lunches on their backs. And if one travels between towns on the local trains, as my friend and I do, one may be thor- oughly entertained when it is time to feed the baby who is carried papoose style on the mother’s back, or when a small child cannot decide what strange sort of creature a foreigner is and whether he is friendly or not. If one is lucky, he eventually may be honored with a smile and a little wave of good- bye. And so I too must depart. Please don’t be discouraged with all this, for despite the hardships of public transportation, the majority of Japanese people are helpful, polite, and tremendously patient. Not only will they make sure that an elderly man or woman has a place to sit, but I have even witnessed two people politely argu- ing which one should take a vacant seat (they both got off before the matter we settled l). In any case, I must gather my courage to board the next train. Sayonara! (Continued from Page 2) fee automatically registers the student with Train- co. The winter course will open on October 5 at Wrixon Hall for the Richmond Hill students and will be extended to ten lessons at the same hourly rate. The courses include the usual basic tuition of breathing control, tongue exercises, concentration, improvisation and facial exercises. The students are given passages to study and _memorize, and have “Av bA'vLA rwu~wav~ c- _. an opportunity to present them before the class and the instructor for criticism and suggestions for im- proving their performances. I watched selections from such varied works as “Ondine”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Dad Poor Dad”, “Marat-Sade” and “The Importance of Being Ernest”. Some of the performers showed very obvious talent, and their instructor was quick to encourage them and to offer advice. Some had memorized commercials or writ- ten their own, and the results were sometimes con- vincing. At the conclusion of their training the young hopefuls are auditioned at Trainco, and their perfor- mances video-taped to give an idea of their poten- tial as television performers. The successful ones, of course, become part of the pool of talent from which the agency can draw. York County Teachers At Family Life Course The director of these courses is Tony Maffat- Lynch, an actor and dancer who trained at the fam- ous Italia Conte School in London, England, follow- ed by extensive experience in repertory theatre. On coming to Canada five years ago, he worked with George Luscombe’s Workshop Productions in Toron- to for three years before returning to England for a further tour in repertory. (Writers of the following art- icle are on the teaching staffs of separate schools in this area. Miss Lilian MacDougall teaches For the past two years Tony has been acting in Montreal, Edmonton, (in “The Fantasticks” at the Citadel), “Marat-Sade” with Trio Productions in Toâ€" ronto, and in a number of television productions such as the “Quentin Durgens” and “Toby” series, and as a variety of characters in ETV dramas. He re- cently played a lead role in the movie “Flick”, made by Agincourt Productions. - . - .c r v 'fony has directed two dance shows for the Three Schools of Art in Toronto, and has just com- pleted the direction of a show (compiled by himself) to go on tour shortly. It is based on the life of the Spanish poe’g_G_a_1rcig _Lo_rca._ Talent Unlimited is planning a picnic for the students to be held in one of the Toronto Parks at the end of August, and one of the cable television companies will televise the “star” students in their audition pieces. 7‘ Those interested in registering for the winter course should contact Dale Sittig, the course man- ager, at 923-1108.

N. PHONE : 884-9291 (Continued from Page 2) mesa males makes it very difficult to at St. Luke’s School on Dudley Avenue, Thornhill and Miss Anne Heffernan is on the staff of St. Mary Immaculate School, Trayborn Drive, Richmond Hill. The two young teachers were among the 17 from York Coun- ty separate schools who have been attending a “Family Life” course in Thunder Bay since July 1). The first “Family Life" course taught in Canada was held in Thunder Bay in the summer of 1968. It was a fan- tastic success, so a second course was held in the summer of 1969. ‘ Participating this summer of 1970 were 150 teachers. They came from all parts of Canada ‘â€" the Maritimes, Ontario, Al- berta, Manitoba; two were from the USA and another came from Ceylon. Seventeen ele- mentary school teachers from York County Roman Catholic Separate Schools were in at- tendance. Participants receive credits towards a BA or an MEd. de- gree. Affiliation is with the University of Ottawa. The success of the Family Life Institute in Thunder Bay where the course was held is largely due to a sincere and enthusiastic leader, Rev. Father Leo J. Lafreniere. The Family Life Institute is unique in Canada. Internation- ally known experts in psychol- ogy, anthropology and sociology lead the sessions, and come from all persuasions and relig- ious backgrounds. Classes were held each day from 8.15 am to 3.15 pm. Films, filmstrips, lec- tures, group dynamics and cur- riculum guide planning formed the core of the program. A re- quired reading list of books and lmaterials was appraised by par~ ticipants. One of the main benefits of a family life education course taught in schools is to train children to take part in social life and participate actively in community organizations, be open to discourse with others and be willing to promote the common good. This is what family life education is all about. As Council Approves County Move Richmond Hill Council, meet- ing on the afternoon__of_A3gust 4, agreed to support York Coun- ty Council's recommendation to reject both Bills 142 and 143, passed in June by the Ontario Legislature. These were de- signed to provide some means of alleviating hardship cases of greatly increased tax bills ‘brought about by reassessment on market value. The county also recommended that if a spe- cial bill is not forthcoming. all municipalities adopt Bill 143, an amendment to the Assess- ment Act which will enable them to write off the increase over $50 next year. Council also agreed it would support the county‘s recommen- dation for a special bill for York County, although Council- lor Lois Hancey, who opposed both resolutions, expressed the opinion there was no possible chance of such special legisla- tion being passed. “York and Peel Counties and Pickering Township are the only Ontario areas where re- assessment has been done on market value," Mrs. Hancey pointed out. “The problems here are no different than in Peel and Pickering. So to ask ‘for a special bill for York is ill-advised. The only alterna- tive that I can see is for all municipalities to appeal the en- tire assessment roll and urge every person whose taxes have risen because of reassessment to go before the assessment re- view board to see if that yard- stick is valid. But this will not provide relief for our people this year. I think we have a responsibility to them." “I’m extremely disappointed in the provincial government have provided, to put it mild- ly’, stated the only woman councillor. “I am still very anx- ious that cases of hardship and the people who require relief get it this year. I’m aware of the many problems involved. But I need some answers be- fore we reach a conclusion on what action to take. I want to know, if Bill 142 (The Muni- cipal Act) is applied, if there are any residential properties which have decreased enough that they would be involved or and the type of legislation they i are all the large decreases on industrial - commercial assess- ment? (Bill 142 provides that increases in 1970 taxation be- cause of reassessment may be limited to 10% or $50 and de- creases to the same amount).In speaking 'to officials of the De- partment of Municipal Affairs, I believe I was told there are 5,000 properties ‘(both up and down) affected in this town. Markham Twp. Hires Mahagement Advisors The Toronto management consul-ting firm of Stevenson and Kellogg Limited has been hired by Markham Township Council to develop a job evalua- tion program for employees covered under the new contract with the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Council â€"mémbers August agreed the fee should not ‘ ceed $2,900. It was noted by members of council that this firm did a similar study for the former York-Oshawa District Health Unit. The firm was hired after pro- posals were submitted by sev- eral firms and representatives were interviewed by council. Reeve Stewart Rumble noted that doing the job evaluation now would be dollars down the drain to some extent. This was because the whole job situation will change when Markham Town and Markham Township are amalgamated Juanuary 1. But Reeve Rumble said he agreed it was necesary to un- dertake job evaluation under the agreement with the union, and that the firm of Stevenson and Kellogg was certainly cap- able. Councillor William Masters said the township should only do the mjnimum necessary 'thlS year, and leave it up to the new larger town to do a more ex- tensive job next year.

SENECA COLLEGE OF APPLIED ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY 43 SHEPPARD AVENUE EAST WILLOWDAIE, ONTARIO W. T. Newnham President It is important all municipalit- ies accept the same bill". Mrs. Hancey emphasized. Deputy-reeve Ivan Mansbrid-i ge reported that the two coun- ty resolutions had been approv- ed almost 100%. (Editor’s Note: The resolutions passed through county council on a 13-8 vote with three abstent- ions). “1 still feel we are fac- ‘ed with accepting either 142 or 143. My preference is for the Assessment Act.” “We‘re running out of time", stated Mayor William Lazenby. “I don't see how we could get: out of another tax bill to levy more money. It woul hit some people who have had a reduc- tion which is long overdue. It would be unfair.‘_' n Va... He was referring to a state- ment prepared by Town Treas- urer Mac Clement. It listed the following increases due to boards and commissions requir- ing additional monies in 1970 ;over their 1969 requirements. These increases would be over and above the $50 limit which may be placed on the increases due to reassessment. _ ‘,,1 For residential public school' supporters the increase on an assessment of $15,000 would be . $27.68 and the total increase then would be $77.68; on $20,-_ 000 assessment the increaseI would be $36.90 plus $50 or| $86.90; on $25,000. the increase ‘would be $48.13 plus $50 or $96.13; on $30,000, $55.35 plus $50 or $105.35; on $35,000. $64.- 58 plus $50 or $114.58; on $40,- 000, $73.80 plus $50 or $123.80. This means that taxes would have to be increased by the to- tal amount above before any re- lief would be given to the resi- dential taxpayer who is a pub- lic school supporter. The treasurer, in his report, pointed out that other factors were involved in the reassess- ment. For instance some land was not reassessed after water and/ or sewers were installed. As example of the discrepancy in‘ assessment of similar proper- ties in different areas of the town this caused, he cited a 37’6" x 100 foot lot on Brown- dale Crescent which was asses- sed more than a 66 by 330 foot lot on Rumble Avenue and a 50 by 210 foot lot on Essex Avenue. Paved driveways and swim- ming pools are now assessed and have made a marked dif- ference between the assess- ments in 1969 and 1970, he noted. Alterations and improvements such as fireplaces, plumbing, new heating systems, wash- rooms and finished basements were picked up by the county assessors and reflected in the reassessment value, the treas- ‘urer pointed out. A Many property improvements done in 1969, such as carports, garages, paving and other ass- essable work, were also included in the reassessment figures. Mr. Clement also pointed out that implementing a bylaw to provide taxation relief will be costly in labour and computer costs. In a comparison of assesse- ments including some 20 proper- ties in various areas of town, he noted that a 50 by 210 lot on Essex Avenue was assessed at $555 in 1958 and 1968, but at $7,800 in 1969. A 50 by 210 foot. lot on Lennex was assessed at $430 in 1958, at $735 in 1968 and at $7,800 in 1969. An 85 by 331’6” lot on Rumble Avenue was assessed at $780 in 1958 and 1968 and at $7,900 in 1969. A 70 by 106 foot lot on Starlight Cres- cent was assessed at $1,355 in 1958 and 1968 and at $7,200 in 1969. A Lucas Street lot, 60 by 1150 feet, was assessed at $1,015 in 1958 and 1968 and at $7,200 in 1969. A 37’ 6” by 100 foot lot on Browndale was assessed at $675 in 1958 and 1968 and at $4,800 in 1969.
