York County Roman Catholic School Board made three school buses available, and the large buses were Well filled when they set off from Sharon, New- market and Richmond Hill. Many other supporters travelled to the gardens in their own cars. More than 17,000 students. parents, teachers and clergy jammed into the large arena. and another 3,000 heard the speeches and presentation at nearby St. Michael‘s Cathedral. Education Minister William Davis gave little encouragement to the assembly, saying the pro- vince is still considering infor- mation submitted by various Roman Catholic groups con- cerning extension of support to separate schools. and that it will meet with representatives of the Ontario Separate School Trustees Association in the near future. More Staff And Equpment Rabid Fox Is Shot, Warn Area Residents A rabid fox attacked a dog and threatened to at- tack a resident last week on the edge of Richmond Hill adjacent to North Rich~ vale and the Don Head Secondary School. It took blasts from the resident's shotgun and four police bullets to finish of the crazed animal. The incident brought a warning to the public from Jim Ryan. Canine Officer for Markham. Vaughan and Richmond Hill. Three dogs. plus several skunks and foxes. have died of rabies in the three muni- cipalities during the past three months. says Mr. Ryan. “If we want to keep our society evolving in the prop- er way. we must accept freedom with responsibility. “We always hear about freedom. but seldom about responsibility. proper action and performance of duty," Mr. Roman told the Victoria Square Lions. “Unless we realize the re- sponsibility divine provid- ence puts on us, we won‘t go the evolutionary route.

That meeting dealt primarilyl with staff requirements for the‘ new town. Recommended to‘ the 1970 council for approval. were requests from the town‘ clerk to increase his staff byi four people and from the town treasurer to increase his staff by three' persons. An addit- ional two people will be as- signed to the waterworks de- partment and will be paid out of that facility‘s revenue, not out of taxes. CLERK - TREASURER It was pointed out that this is believed to be a good time to separate the clerk‘s and treasurer‘s departments. Up to now the treasurer has also ser- ved as deputy-clerk and the clerk as deputy-treasurer. With the added volume of work and enlarged staffs necessitated by the added acreage and popu- lation under regional govern- ment. it was also decided to appoint other deputies for these key men. Another new post which will be created is that of purchasing agent. WORKS DEPARTMENT An increase in staff for the town‘s works department from 34 to 55 was approved in prin- ciple. Extension of boundar- ies of the town will bring an additional 61.8 miles of roads to be serviced and maintained, Works Commissioner Otto Whalen reported. The pres- ent town has only 42.6 miles of roads in a compact area and the new total will be 104.4 miles. An increase of staff is long overdue, claimed the works commissioner, pointing out that the office staff had been only two until three years ago when an additional employee so probably have to he housed.l Two members of council; wished to consult Mr. Whalenl in more detail on phasing in of the new employees. so firm approval of his request. was not given until the next meet- ing of this committee. FIRE DEPARTMENT Fire Chief Alf Stong report- ed that his department would need at least an additional 15 permanent firemen. "In ord- er to give our neighbors in the north part of the new town a better measure of fire protec-‘ tion, we will have to move a fire truck up there. We will‘ need a hall. rented or built, and a skeleton staff of three; men around the clock. We‘ can look after the south end from here". he stated. It was reported that the ar- eas coming into Richmond Hill are now serviced through ag- reements, for the most part. Oak Ridges-Lake Wilcox areasi are serviced by Aurora. part of Markham by Richmond Hill, the rest by Vaughan. The Vaughan fire hall in Richvale will become the town‘s prop- erty and probably the 1954 fire truck and water tanker housed there will come with the building. This hall is man- ned by permanent men in the daytime only. and it is under- stood that these men. will be retained at other fire stations by Vaughan Township. “I think we can give as good service from here to the north as Aurora gives", comâ€" mented the fire chief, “since we are only half a mile furth- er away. But I would like to improve the service and to do that we would have to have a truck and men in that area.” Members of the Richmond Hill 1970 Council and council members-elect for the new Town of Rich- mond Hill under Regional Government in York are busy these days preparing for the changeover on January 1. An increase of staff is long overdue, claimed the works commissioner, pointing out that the office staff had been only two until three years ago when an additional employee was added. “Other neighbour- ing municipalities have 17 peo- ple employed in their offices", he stated. Bill 102 which established the Regional Munic- ipality of York provides that the members of the council of each area municipality elected in the year 1970 shall comprise a committee in their respective area municipalities to do anything in that year nec- essary for the purposes of organization, policy and planning of the area municipality: At a meeting of this committee held October 20 it was decided to include the two members of the 1970 council who will not be returning to the coun- cil table in 1971 (if this is legally possible). With relocation of the works department on the second floor of the municipal build- ing and acquisition of the for- mer buildings of the Ontario Hydro on Pugsley Avenue, his department will have suffic- ient office and garage space. the commissioner stated. Two additional employees who are employed on water and pump- ing stations which become re- gional responsibilities, will al- Other staff increase is nec- essary because of the immin- ence of the BAIF development boundaries, he also pointed out. Any deficit would be paid out of the general tax rate in the succeeding year. Referring to the recent violent incidents attributed to Quebec separatist ele- ments, he said Canadians in the last few days had wit- nessed things unheard of 10 or 15 years ago.

(Continued on Page 3) John Murphy of North Taylor Mills Drive evidently believes in backing his ideas with his money. Mr. Taylor, through a letter read by Councilllor Eric George at the October 19 meet- ing of Richmond Hill Town Council. suggested that the dollar bill he enclosed be the start of a trust fund for the town. Citizen Starts Trust Fund With Dollar Bill He suggested that other citizens would make similar donations to be invested wisely and 10% of the resulting in- terest each year be used for general town purposes. The re- maining interest would be re- invested and in several years a substantial sum would be built up to enable the municipality to undertake work that is not now financially possible.
