With the exception of Markham High School, the eleven other schools in the list were not identified, other than by ABC, etc. designa- tions. 24 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, June 7, 1973 Huron Heights has also maintained an open attitude in some areas, and also drew criticism for filling up some of its extra space with grade eight students. Sam Chapman, director of education, said that the re- sults of the mathematics contests “points up the con- sistent record of high ach- ievement." It also helped Huron Heights” overcome the stigma of the four-year program idea.” f. -D- W... , The schobl offers both a four-year and five-year pro- gram. 7 So far as Thornlea was concerned, Mr. Chapman said that it “had to be ob- vious" that it was the “most successful of any of our schools." Thcmlea’s policy of giv- ing students a freer hand in the operation of the school, has embroiled it in contro- versy from the outset. Mr. Chapman said that Markham. which ranked fifth, had a bigger enroll- ment than the others, but had still made a “very cred- itable performance." Trustee Donald Cousens. Markham, moved that the board congratulate the schools and students con- cerned, prompting Trustee Mariane Gillan of Sutton to The recommendation asked that. for the purposes of the Income Tax Act, in the case of a common law marriage, the "husband" be permitted to claim his common law wife, and children as depend- ents.

In his report. Chairman William ‘Lazen-by of Rich- mond Hill submitted a memo from Welfare Administrator Bilton McDonald which said that, as the Welfare Act recâ€" ognized common law mar- riage and the dependents in- volved. he felt a change should be made to remove some of these people from the welfare rolls.

Callum is sales fleet administrator for Imperial Oil Limited where he has been employed for 30 years. DONALD CALLUM International President â€"â€" (Inn Studios Photo) Mr. Allen's amendment called for the board to con- sider four things: position- ing of the parking lot closer to the building, some separ- ation of the general purpose room from the rest of the building, some structural changes to make the school more open. cash allowances for the school to test pro- spective students. Mr. Chapman said the school would have a gross floor area of 16,800 square feet at $25 a square foot, or $420,000. the maximum the Ministry of Education wanted spent on the school. The board also approved a staff recommendation that the working drawings â€" with a later amendment by Trustee Douglas Allen of Richmond Hill â€" for the Fairmead School for the Trainable Retarded in New- market, be approved and that application be made to the Ministry of Education. There would, however, be an extra $35,000 allotted for unusual site conditions, with “roughly $400,000" approved for grant purposes. One of those slow students could become prime minister some day, he added. in an obvious reference to the late Prime Minister Lester Pear- son, who in a current TV documentary mentioned how he had been a poor mathe- matics student. In making his amendment. Mr. Allen said he was con- cerned with what might happen 10 years from now in the makeup of the school; that's why he asked they be flexible. In answer to an inquiry by Councillor Robert Adams of Markham. as to how the mat- ter stood at present, Solici- tor Edward Oakes said that the government was still studying the matter and an answer was expected "in the near future." Mr. Adams said he was concerned the project would run out of money. Said Chairman Marvin Hunter: “It's important to congratulate all the schools whether they come first or last.” He said that women with dependents were often in re- ceipt of family benefits or other types of assistance. However, they usually had a male companion who was em- ployed full time, who would, if allowed a tax exemption for the common law wife and dependents, take on their re- sponsibility. Mr. Chapman said that the tests were purely voluntary, and if the board got into the realm of punishment, it would discourage schools from participating. comment on the schools, which hadn’t finished so high in the list. Pointing to the list, which showed schools H I and J finishing 10th, 11th and 12th respectively, Mrs. Gillan said: “If I'm reading it right. we should be alarmed at the above." So far as paying income tax on Welfare, he said that many people were season- ably employed and then went on welfare. If they were now taxed. more of these people would not apply for welfare, but would probably “provide a buffer during the working season to carry themselves.” Said Mayor Evelyn Buck of Aurora in supporting the recommendation, “It’s only fair that a person who’s em- ployed part time, should file like the rest of us.” Mayor Lazenby also report- ed on the family counselling services and recommended that the cost of purchased counselling services be con- sidered similar to salaries and the family service cen- tres be reimbursed â€" retro- active to January lâ€"until the $70,000 provided in the budget is spent. The services were not formerly covered by Region- al funds. The region had agreed to budget $70,000 for the cost of salaries for the services, half of the $140,000 budget. which was originally to be split with the provincial gov- ernment. The latter has since withdrawn its support, cit- ing a “plethora of services" in the program as its reason for getting out. Mayor Lazenby said that staff cuts and other remedial measures would be taken in that event. The meeting also approved a recommendation of the en- gineering committee headed by Mayor Anthony Roman of Markham calling for the pro- vision of $175,000, as propos- ed by the board of police commissioners, be provided in the 1973 estimates of the region for the acquisition of land for a police station, and that the police chief and commissioner of engineering be authorized to submit a joint report recommending a suitable site for the station, which is slated for the south- ern part of the region.

Working nights, using every bit of scrap he could come across, er. Harrison. assisted by Sergeant Michael Bouc’her, Air Cadet Squad- ron 778, put the plane to- gether in just two weeks. Included in his materials were parts from a lawn chair. clothesline wire, TV aerial brackets and piping, washing machine caster for the tail wheel and odds and ends of masonry. 'Cadet Boucher found what eventually were used for the wheels, in the garbage. and the 5 horse power en- gine came from an old gar- den roto tiller.

More than 100 screws went into its construction; the ply- wood used in the wings is halfâ€" an - inch thick by two feet wide.

Construction is scheduled to begin this month. The new building is de- signed to accommodate about 50 people in offices and small meeting rooms. lBaha’i members in the area have been meeting in an old house on the site, and hope some day to be able to build a temple on the attractive well treed prop- erty which borders on Bay- viey Golf and Country Club property. Such plans are in the dis- tant future. however, says Ed Muttart of Pheasant Val- ley Court, Thomhill, a mem- ber of the Baha'i in North York, a Baha'i temple is more significant than a Christian church building because with Baha’i the whole world membership contributes to the structure. The nearest Baha’i Temple to Metro is in Chicago. There are only five temples in the world. The Baha‘l faith was founded in 1863 by Baha'- u'llah, a prophet who taught that all religions were stages in one universal faith. Among the nine Canad- ians who attended the third international convention of Baha'is in Haifa. Israel in April were Mr. Muttart and Don Glen of Alcaine Court.
