Mr. Findlay, a former members of the now defunct King City Trustees for about eight years, has served on the present council for Ward One during the current 1971- 72 term. “At this time I don't know who will be contesting for that office except that I know I am and. from several conversations with Mr. Mac- taggart in the past week I understand he is announcing he is not standing for re- election.†In his prepared statement be listed a number of rea- sons for his decision to attempt to move up to the higher office. Councillor Don Findlay Throws Hat In Mayor's Ring Veteran King Township politician Donald Findlay will be making a bid for the office of mayor in the December 4 municipal elec- tion. “A great deal has been ac- complished by us on council this past two years. A great deal more still needs to be done". Advéncemenf was decided on the basis of personal ma- turity, social adjustment and Some of the needs be listed: â€" To continue road work and urban services. He reviewed the past term observing that with the ad- vent of regional government it “was a totally new scene. "There was the setting up of the new region, the taking on of the urban services of the villages, many applica- tions for rural residential subdivisions, some senior staff retirements and re- signations. In his report, Bumham said that, of the 140 enroll- ed, three withdrew during the year and 10 transferred out of the system. Of the remaining 127, it was de- cided 26 would benefit by another year in kindergarten; 11 were advanced to a kin- dergarten-primary program or “promoted conditionally" to grade 1; and 90 were al- lowed to proceed to a com- plete grade 1 program. In twirling his hat into the magic circle. Councillor Findlay stated that it was his understanding that in- cumbent Mayor Ken Mactag- gart would not be running again. _Stated Mr. Findlay in a prepared announcement: "By hard work and a steady pace by a number of members of council and the help of senior staff, the in- side staff and the outside staff, much re-oranizing was done and much business dealt with". IThe discussion followed presentation of a staff re- port by Researcher Brian Burnham on early admis- sions to kindergarten. Bum- ham conducted a survey among principals of 56 York County schools with kinder- garten classes to evaluate the progress in the 29 schools which accommodate a total of 140 four-year-olds for all or part of the school year in 1971-72. â€"â€"To adjust to changing times. â€"â€"To make economies in spending. Councillor Findlay said he would not be promising “glamor or entertainment at council meetings" if elected "because there is too much dull, routine business that council must deal with. So far as I am concerned, the head of council must first see that council ‘minds the store' and delivers to the ratepayers 'customers' the basic goods and services that local municipalities were was still a long way being resolved. “The board gave a quick look at the matter of en- rolling junior a year or two earlier at its meeting Octo- ber 23, but when it was all over, realized that the ques- tion of retaining grade 13 at the other end of the pole, was still a long way from Children in York County may be starting to school earlier in the future, but whether they'll finish any earlier is still a matter of conjecture, so far as the board of education is con- cerned. Starting Early, Finishing Late Still Puzzle To School Board YOUR ACTION IS REQUIRED... Your family will have a guide to follow in time of bereavement only if you provide such a guide in advance. You can record your special funeral wishes for their benefit at any time without obligation, at the Marshall Funeral Home. Findlay said that he pro- posed to be on hand “at the municipal office building for interviews. generally speak- ing at the same regular time each week. And I intend to promote periodic information mailings from council, per- haps quarterly.†' Mr. Findlay is also of the opinion that “there’s not enough basic information now reaching ratepayers. The newspapers largely con- fine themselves to “feature' stories, which is understand- able. I have been urging periodic mailings on the reg- ular business of council, so far without success. Board Chairman Ross Jolliffe. agreed that a meet- ing on early admissions should be arranged shortly to “let everyone have a crack at it." created for “I realize that past heads of council have given their time freely to ratepayers who have approached them at their homes on problems. That was more workable when everyone knew every- one else, which is not the case nowâ€. Other platform items he touched upon: Region of York â€" “The head of King Council is the only representative of the township on regional council. Region is a costly, costly operation and is grasping to switch more functions from the local municipalities. The head of King Council must be on guard to hold that cost and those functions in proper proportion". Council Business Increas- ingâ€"â€The work goes on and the business grows as the population increases and society changes. The pro- vincial laws also keep chang- ing. including the recent one which gives easier access to the courts to anyone feeling he has not been given a suf- ficient hearing on his busi- ness with council becomes more necessary than ever." Trustee Deen Simpson of Richmond Hilli, said that, if the board Were thinking of "cutting off at the one end". why add at the other. She would like to know the phil- osophy behind such reason- ing. ginning" Said Trustee John Hons- berger of Markham: “I think we should look at the other end and see if the board should have grade 13." Council Differencesâ€"“Dif- ferences of opinion in coun- cil are not unusual. The rules allow for this. The head of council needs to know and apply the rules to permit fair debate and still get business done." Minor Savings â€" “Some minor savings at local and regional council should be made. Some of the present spending is on matters not requested by the villages or the selfemployment farms or the estate farms or the ham- lets or the marsh growers and residentsâ€. He concludes: “In other words. as in our own homes. first things first. Necessities the first priority. costly luxuries a lower place". Trustee Merna Colburne, Mount Albeit, suggested the board schedule a meeting soon to further discuss early admissions to kindergarten, the cost, and the 20 percent who continue in kinder- garten. She then agreed to a sub- sequent suggestion by Sam Chapman, director of educa- tion, that the board go a “step further" and look at the prospect of junior kin- dergartens. Trustee Margaret Cobum. of King, said it would be a shame if the word “failure" were used in connection with holding back any of the young pupils. She said the board should guard against the chance of any stigma being attached in the matter. Personal and social im- maturity appeared to be the main reasons for not recom- mending advancement to grade 1, the report stated. reading readiness in the 126 Yonge Street North, Richmond Hill gunera/ £0019 Serving the Community under the Wright & Taylor and Pipher Chapels since 1876 marslmll Saturday, was the occasion of the annual Hallowe’en Dance.

Due to unfortunate cir- cumstances we were unable to attend the lady veterans' Harvest Hop October 21. so we had to rely on scuttlebut. After deep checking of facts we learned that it was a “Smash". Also learned that ye olde hall was nearly danc- ed off its foundations. This we sure like to hear because the gals work very hard to make their dos a success. They take this opportunity to extend heartfelt thanks to all those who worked so hard on their behalf. George and Ken were at their scientillat- ing best. Canada one month ago to join their daughters who came over before them. So, following the words of Horace Greely â€" “Go west young man"â€"-they did. It was our pleasure to greet this couple on Saturday at the annual Hallowe’en Dance. The Thompsons have taken up residence in Richmond Hill. At the present time the sick parade is rather lengthy. One thing we can do is ex- tend our sincere wishes for a speedy recovery to each and every one. The same sentiment goes in spades for all of our friends and neigh- bors.
