Capture Youth Massive Manhunt The matter was brought up at a recem meeting by Mayor Evelyn Buck of Au- rora, who said she had read newspaper reports which stated that the police got paid overtime for attending a recent church parade in Newmarket during National Police Week. Newmarket Councillor Ray Twinney. who is also a mem- A youth, who plunged through a glass door at York Regional Police h e a d- quarters in Newmarket last week to avoid custody, had nearly two days freedom again before being captur- ed by police in a massive manhunt through King- Township. Police said that the youth came to headquarters of his own will about 7.30 pm. June 12. to see about a warrant for his arrest. When a check by police showed there was an out- standing warrant for him, he bolted and ran down some steps to a locked door at the end of the building, where he crashed through the glass and made his get- away. While most people put some money in the plate when they go to church, York Regional Police get paid when they attend. and not all members of council are happy with the idea. Sometime later he stole a car from Lawton Brothers in Aurora, and then abandon- ed it shortly afterwards. The escapee was sighted in morning of the 14th and took cover in the dense bush region. _ A search party was or- ganized by Staff Inspector Wally Harkness and the en- tire area between Yonge Street and Concession 3. and Mulock Side Road to High- way 9 was walked by police. who also used a plane in the search. The youth was sighted in the afternoon in Concession Police Chief Bruce Crawford's I973 Salary $28,500 2. but continued to elude police until Detective Barry Delaney spotted him in a field in Concession 3 and arrested him. The last day of school. June 15. was an unusual one for the 100 children at the Toronto Waldorf School in Willowdale. It was moving day. and each child carried his or her desk and chair outside for loading into a waiting transport truck to be stored until the school’s new building in Vaughan on Bath- urst Street north of Highway 7 opens in the fall. The school opened in 1968 and has been operating in St. (Patrick's Anglican Church on Lillian Street, but has outgrown the available space. The new building, now under construction, was de- signed by Architect Denis Bowman of King. Charged with escaping custody. wilful damage and car theft is Edwin Michaud, 18. of 2 McDonald Avenue.

The bells were taped at St. John‘s, Norway in Toronto, for this event. “You're always going to find some bad apples in the basket." Mr. 'Dwinney con- eluded. Mayor Buck also had some questions regarding [iolice salaries. which she said were being “kept secret". ber of the police commis- sion. said that. of the 147 who went on parade, 52 had put in for overtime. He said they were legally entitled to it, as they had been ordered out and hadn't gone volun- tarily. Mr. Twin-may said he felt that. when the parade was set up. it was for the bene- fit of the police. and he was against them putting in for overtime. “Any reason why they're be- ing kept secret?" asked May- or Buck, who specifically wanted to know what the chief of police took home every year. Mayor Buck was interrupt- ed at one point by Mayor William Lazenby of Rich- mond Hill. who had some questions for the engineer- ing committee. However, she got back on the track later and finally elicited the information that first class constables receiv- ed $12,095 yearly and the chief got $28,500. a $3,500 increase over his previous salary. St. Mary's Bells Ring Out This Week The theme song of the ec- umenical Centennial display of four rooms of antiques as they would have been in use in 1873, set up in the chapel of St. Mary’s, Angli- can Church was recognized by most people. If you did not recognize the second lilting tune it is “The Las Of Richmond Hill", an old English boating song. taught to the first school classes here by Benjamin Barnard. After a closing assembly in the morning, annual re- ports were given out, then each class in turn helped to empty the school. the older grade 6 boys assisting the first graders. Most classes have already visited the new building, and the grade 3 class, with the help of Mr. Bowman. staked out the building beâ€" fore the land was cleared. Over the past two years they have watched the gradual preparation, and now the actual construction of their school. school, children, parents and teachers Ip acked all the school's belongings ready for loading into the truck. For Centennial Year York County Music Supervisor Gordon Fleming wrote new words, a tribute to “The Town of Richmond Hill". the official Centennial song. to the same tune. The school children know the words even if adults don't. Florence Whitehurst, test- ing co-ordinator for the board. said there were nu- merous factors affecting the tests, including the back- grounds of the students, edu- cational level of their par- ents, social and economic conditions, qualifications of teachers and others; it was difficult to place a figure on any particular one. Mr. Cousens said he was struck by the contrast (in the marks) and would like to see if the board could do anything. He said he would like some direction as to how they could improve the perform- ance of the students. The extreme highs and ex. treme lows of students par- ticipating in a standardized testing program carried out recently by York County Board of Education, has aroused the concern of I'D-us- tee Douglas Cousens of Markham. The program, which tested pupils in grades 5, 7 and 8 in vocabulary. reading com- prehension, and in three areas of mathematics, showed the York students to be slightly below the nation- al norm in all grades. Mr. Cousens. at a board meeting June 11, wanted to know what factors affected the tests and if the trustees could make some use of these factors in improving the school system. Mrs. Whitehurst said she couldn't say there was a problem with the students as Mr. Cousens described, just differences. The factors she had menâ€" tioned, plus the emphasis on certain elements in the pro- gram, all affected the pro- Highs, Lows Student Testing Plan Worry Trustee Cousens NEWMARKET â€" Overdue books can be returned to the local library without fines or penalties July 3 to 6.

Mrs. Whitehm'st said the idea of her report was to establish the manner of the program; if the trustees wanted to delve into it fur- ther. they could. Trustee Robert Houghton of Richmond Hill wanted to know what happened to the data collected by the testing group. or what they would like to see happen to it. Mrs. Whitehm'st said that it went to all the schools, where the teachers analyzed the skills being tested. There they could detemxine the basic skills and what the students needed help with.
