Campers Will Follow The Sun In Year long Trip In spite of a steel shortage, the new St. Anthony’s School on Kirk Drive, Thornhill. will probably be completed by December 15, the scheduled date: At a meeting of York County Roman Cath- olic School Board September 1. trustees were told masonry work at the school is ahead of schedule. The single lane road. Used for con- struction vehicles, will be widened, and Business Administrator Percy Laframboise reported the developers have assured him the roadbed will be ready for use when the school opens. Markham Township Trustees June Mallon and Gordon McMahon questioned staff about the possibility of bussing students who live on the other side of the railway by-pass. and Superin. tendent Joe Hodge agreed that staff would study distances, safety factors, etc., before the school opens. The addition to St. Joseph‘s School. Aurora, is scheduled for completion October 31, the board was told. and the addition to St. Thomas Acquinas School, Keswick, will be ready by January 4, 1971. Meanwhile, Mr. Laframboise said, there had been a crash program to have the schools ready for school opening Tuesday, conversion of rooms in the existing buildings, heating and other con- nections.

The business has been very demanding. but. says Art. “We Several trustees complained that bus route maps posted in local churches prior to school opening were unreadable and that many parents were confused. They were advised to tell the parents to contact the board office, or to call the school. Most routes are shared with the York County Board of Education. “Transportation is a real headache." observed Mr. Hodge. “We have about 150 routes or part routes in the county.” “We are working? with the health unit and with the architect," he told the board. Repairs to the roof of St. Mark‘s School, Stouffville, were about finished, and the old St. John’s School, Newmarket. had been renovated to serve as an annex to Our Lady of Good Counsel School in Sharon. The south bed is functioning satisfactorily, he said, and if the north bed is cut off the one drainage bed may be adequate to serve the school. It will be tested before frost comes and if it does not do the job a new bed will be laid to the north above the old one. It was discovered. mid Mr. Laframboise. that the tile bed to the north had been laid at a depth of seven feet under the football field when it should have been just two and one half feet down. said Mr. Laframboise.

Arthritis is also a root ‘cause of poverty and rising wel- fare casts, There are some- where between 250 and 350 Richmond Hill arthritics who have some disability. ranging from mild to extremely severe. Some can. no longer work or carry on with household tasks. Many others work at less than their full potential, and with reduced earnings. In some cases it has caused the break- ’up of homes. For the whole thousand of them, something of the joy of life has gone. There are about a million arthritics in Canada. and they are losing some 10.000,000 days work and $100,000,000 in wages every year. That means that in Richmond Hill. the cost is about 10,000 days and $100,000 in wages. Stiff and aching joints are a danger signal for arthritis. If they receive early medical at- tention. serious disability and crippling can be prevented in four out of five cases. Of the thousand sufferers ‘in Richmond Hill most felt *better by noon. but by next Labor Day. or the one after. the pains won‘t go away so quickly. unless they do some- thing about it now. The figure of a million arthritics represents approxi- mately an eighth of the work‘ force. Some are over the age .of working, Some have not reached it and never will be able to work. But arthritis strikes most often among those who should be enjoying their most productive years â€" be- tween the ages of 20 and 40. They are deprived of earning power. Their employers are de- prived of their skills and cre- ative abilities. Only the mental diseases are rated as a greater cause of lost earnings and work- [ing time. The figure of 1,000 al‘thritics in Richmond Hill is a statistic. not a nose count. It is based on the Canada SickneSS Survey. carried out for the federal gov- emment a few years ago. How- ever, it has been found to be extremely accurate for all areas of Canada. But much of this need not be.

It is also September â€"â€" Arthritis Month in Canada -â€"-â€"‘ when the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society ac- celerates its efforts to inform arthritics of how they can be helped. and campaigns to raise funds to provide this help.
