torat'e of St. John's Baptist Church, Oxford Street. Thursday evening of next week January 25). He comes to Richmond Hill from Tru- ro. Nova Scotia, where he was pastor of First Baptist Church. Mr. Lamb was born in Brighton, Ontario, 3 son of the parsonage. and lived in several places. but received his'elomcntary education in Norfolk County and his sec- ondary education in Dunn- ville. He is a graduate of McMastcr University, Ham- ilton with both BA and BD degrees and was ordained in- to the Gospel Ministry in 1940. Mr. Lamb married the forâ€" mer Miss Edna Dashwood of Dunnville and together they have served Calvary Baptist Church. Weyburn, Saskatch- owan; Temple B a p t i st Church. Windsor; and First Baptist Church. Truro. Mr. Lamb has also served in many posts in the Baptist Convention of Ohvario and Quebec and in the local comâ€" munitics where he has lived. The Lambs have two daughtersâ€"Mrs. Kevin Tur- ner ‘Barbarm BA of Hali- fax. Nova Scotia and Miss Brenda Lamb. BA of Hamil- ton.

This is the question that will be posed at ’a meeting in' Franklin Public School in Markham at 8 pm Tuesday. At an October conference, world renowned psycholo- gists B. F. Skinner and J. Faiget suggested that “the doâ€"il-yourself, leisurely eduâ€" cation onvironment may not. in fact. produce happy. in- dependent students. as it is supposed to do." Since the new Reesor Park Public School in Sherwood Green in the old Town of Markham is due to open next September, and will be about 60 percent open concept. there is considerable inter- est among families in the area. The real reasonâ€"if any- one was curious â€" as to why official municipal functions are dry. was gra- phically illustrated Janu- ary 8 at the inaugural meeting of York County Board of Education. Just prior to the open- ing of the meeting, a glass rolled off the trustees’ table. and crashed to the floor while Mrs. Dorothy Street. secretary of the board, was setting out glasses and water pitchers for the members. At the Tuesday night meeting. members of York County Board of Education. administrative personnel and informed educators will be present to field questions from the floor after a short informative presentation has‘ been given. mummuluummummmumuuumuuuuuuuuuumumw ' Said Sam Chapman. di- rector of education, in calling the meeting to or- der for the election of offi- cers afterwards: "Now that Mrs. Street has so drama- tically got your attention. we can proceed." The meeting is open to all and coffee will be served. And then he added: “When you see what can happen with water. you can see why we have a no-liouor policy on the board." mumu1mum:mumunumuummuummnunmnmmulm Total provincial statu- tory subsidy on expendi- tures on roads and streets in Richmond Hill in 1972 is S714.666.83. This amount includes the subsidy on the deficits incurred in opera- tion of the local and TTC - operated Yonge Street Bus Line to Toron- to. Interim payments have been received during 1972, Clerk Russell Lynett stat- ed Monday evening. as he presented a resolution to town council requesting payment of the balance of the money due the town. The resolution was approv- ed unanimously. $714,666.83 Road Subsidy Even the Ministry of Education encourages collecting. It tells all high school-s to give any , student who has collected 27 credits (not 28 or 26 ‘ but 27 credits) a secondary school graduation diploma. These credits may be collected in as varied a way as imaginable except that you must ‘ take one subject for each of three years from one of four major categories. With this freedom of choice the Ministry admits that there will be a wide variety in the content and achievement im- plied by these diplomas. They add that this will not affect the “social significance” of the diploma. In practice then, two students can both receive this piece of paper, one having majored in basket- weaving, and golf while the other majored in English, science and math. Now the Ministry of Education may be naive enough to think that the students and parents want a “socially significant" diploma but employers do not. If everyone has these 27 credits then the employers will start looking carefully at the individual collection. You may be like my uncle â€"â€" a beautiful collection but no market. I remember a neighborhood kid during the war who collected tin foil. He also collected piles of seeds from milkweed pods. You see he was too young to join the services to fight for his country so his war effort was to collect these things that were needed for wartime manufac- ture. He had a great round ball of tin foil and bags of silken seeds. Then the war ended. As far as I know he still has them because overnight the government lost interest in his collection. I suppose kids are always collecting things. I can remember my own bag of marbles and the pride I took in it. My variety was the envy of my friends and if I ever played with my “fire- re-ds” it had to be at the rate of three to one. If we’re honest we still banker to collect things â€"- coins, stamps, antiques, paintings, or just knick- knacks of all sorts. And as we get older we uually place a higher value on our collection. Some people have collections worth thousands of dollars. A friend of mine collects antiques. He has a preserving jar that he says is worth $15 because of the embossed beaver on the side. He bought it from a dealer who’d had it for years waiting for someone who’d pay 815 for a beaver bottle. My friend also has an extensive collection of pre-Confederation coins but these coins are barely worth face value because so many were minted that they’re easily obtainable. I’m sug- gesting that collections are valuable only if some- one else thinks they’re valuable too and will pay good money for them. Now I’m not against collecting â€" it's a lot of fun. But don’t collect things hoping to make a killing financially unless you’ve checked out the market carefully. My uncle cornered the market on old horse shoes but was broken-hearted when he had to sell them for scrap iron. _ The Ministry concedes that since many post secondary institutions still demand specific achievement in specific subjects the high schools should offer a secondary school honor graduation diploma to those who obtain six further credits at the grade 13 level. What they neglect to tell you is that your 27 credits may not entitle you to enter grade 13. Obviously if you haven’t taken math or French since grade 8 you’ll not be allowed into grade 13 math or French and as yet I haven’t heard of a grade 13 course in basket-weaving. The glib answer to any anticipated criticism is contained in the Ministry of Education brochure enttled “Response To Change”. It states that “subject choices are ultimately the responsibility of parents and the individual student.” Slumping Rams Lose To Dixie By 6-3 Second Time In A Row The tip_off on how things have been going for the slumping Richmond Hill Rams of recent times came late in the third period of Tuesday night's 6-3 loss to the Dixie Beehives in a Pro- vincial Junior “A” game at the Richmond Hill Arena. Richmond Hill was trailing 5-3 at the time and had what should have been an overwhelming two-man ad- vantage due to penalties. If that’s the case, then parents, whose child- ren hope to end up with a reasonably valuable collection of credits, had better work closely with their child and the school in the selection of these credits. It starts in grade 9 and remember that there is little market for used tin foil scraps or milk weed pods. It _didn'-t work out that way - A Rams' defender fell down a the blueline as he picked up a loose puck. Dixie‘s Dave' Large cooly collected on the puck, sailed in alone on Goalie Gary Carr, pulled a classic shift, and shuttled the sixth and final goal into the yawning twines. The time was 16:57. That's the way it was go- ing most of the night. A combination of an im- proved Dixie squad and ‘Rams' passes that were just missing and/or the puck bouncing left when it should have bounced right. Like it happens when you're in a slump. The Rams outshot the Dixie-ites 36-33 on the game which saw Richmond Hill leading 2-1 at the end of the first and the game tied at 2â€"2 going into the final 20 minutes. Kevin Kennery and Terry Williams led the visitor's offensive with two goals a piece with Brian Ross and the aforementioned. Large getting the others. Tony Bellavance, Greg The Collectors Binkley, and Dave "Digger" Dunkley handled the scoring for Richmond Hill. ~ Dixie wasted just 35 sec- onds of the first period in getting the night's message across to the Rams for the second straight game in a row. Williams took just that long to get the mes- sage across as he scored on Carr. (Dixie downed the Rams 5-1 in Dixie Sun- day night). Bellavance tied it at 1:30 from Fat Hughes and the locals took the lead at 16:08 on a somewhat flukey goal by Binkley. Binkley shot from the side and the Dixie netminder seemed to have blocked the puck but lost it and it skittered through him into the net. Dixie tied as Williams end goal of deflection. Dixie went ahead 3-2 at the 38 second mark of the third period as Kennery tucked in Large’s rebound after Carr had made the in- itial stop. The Rams came back for the final time at 2:26 as Dunkley picked up another rebound off a scramble in front of Dixie goalie Mike Liut and backhanded it in over a pile of players. Dixie‘s fourth goal came off a face-off with Paul Bunner getting the puck to Ross who slapped it home before Carr could move. The fifth goal saw Carr block a shot, bobble it, and Kennery poking it home as it dropped to the ice. it at 2-2 at 3:31 scored his see- the night on a Vaughan Mayor Garnet Williams promised to con- tinue working to “improve the quality of life" for all residents of the municipality January 8 at council’s inâ€" augural meeting for 1973.

Three young men made off with $100 in an unusual rob- bery at Walker's Gas Mart, Highway 7, in Vaughan Jan- uarry 11. According to York Region- al Police, the robbery oc- curred when the trio visited the service station for gas, and while two of the men kept the attendant occupied, me third cleaned out the till.

He said also “we will notl take development for devel-i opment‘s sake. It must im-l prove that quality of life for those who have not got somel of the necessary services which are so essential to modern living." Mayor Williams suggested that in 1973 the new council should "work to an end to supply sewers and/or water to those who are in need, for example what would happen in Nashville in the event of Four saddles and two bridles valued at $2,020, were taken from a barn on the property.
