says Mrs. Kuntze. “Teachers’ children should be with their parents. It is very good, too, for grandparents to take a child, and visiting relatives is a good experience." She supports Mrs. Flem- ing's statement that positions of children on vacation are filled with children on the waiting list. The centre has 76 children enrolled and 160 on the waiting list. FILL VACANT PLACES In April the staff starts checking with parents to lind out what their holiday plans are, how long they will be on vacation so that chilâ€" dren from the waiting list may be admitted in June, July or August, instead of w a i t i n g until September when most vacations are over. Some children. Mrs. Kuntze said. have been on the waiting list for two years. She feels many politicians do not appreciate the impor- tance of day care provided by qualified and experienced professionals and is distres- sed that some actively op- pose any extension of the service. Another and larger centre is badly needed in the community, said Mrs. Kuntzc. Money spent to pro- vide proper care for the very young can save the go- vernment money later, she said. when ‘a child reaches the teens, confused and un- manageable because of neg- lect in the early years. “Maybe those politicians will see this some day."

WIZARD 01“ OZ Day Care Protest Here Are Scheduled Events In Southern York This Week things to the discretion of the administrator (of a day care centre), and if Mrs. Kuntze can fill the places of children on vacation without loss of revenue, more power to her. There has to be some flexibility.” Before day care centres became the responsibility of the region in 1971, the local centre, the only one in York at the time, was subsidized by the town. If plans for a civic centre in the new BAIF subdivi- sion go through, said Lazen- by, a new day care centre will be included. He hopes that it will be a reality “within a couple of years”. The committee report on day care recommended that admission preferences be given to single parent fami- lies and to families whose children require day care due to an emotional, physi- cal or behavioral problems. “This may be the parent or child‘s problem. A medical certificate is required as proof of need.” NOT ALL NEEDY CASES Not all parents who apply for day care are in need, Lazenby pointed out. Many two-parent families do not need two incomes in order to live comfortably and if they want an extended holi- day for their child they should pay to keep their place open at the centre. Parents in need can always be assured of a sympathetic hearing from the commisâ€" sioner, Dr. Slingerland, and from the committee. said the mayor. The centre takes children from age 2 up. Children of elementary school age are dropped off by their parents and remain at the centre until it is time to go to school. They return to the centre for lunch, and again at the end of the school day. The Richmond Hill centre is in St. Mary's Anglican Church. the one in Aurora is also in a church, and 'New- market has its own building. constructed in 1972 under a provincial program which was part of a plan to stimu- late expansion of day care in Ontario and to provide work through the winter months. Full cost of construction was paid by the province. The province usually pays 80 percent of cost. RETARDED CHILDREN The Newm‘arket centre ac- commodates infants and re- tarded children in their own areas in the building on the York Manor property as well as older children and normal children. In Richmond Hill the retarded children‘s cen- tre is in St. Paul‘s Lutheran Church. One of the greatest costs involved in operating the centres. says the mayor, is food. The children get nutri- tious morning snacks (some have had no breakfast), a hot lunch and an afternoon snack in accordance with schedules and menus re- quired and provided by the province’s Ministry of Social Services, which sets stan- dards for all nursery schools and day care centres. The recommendation re- garding holidays does not in- clude children in this catego- ry because volunteers necesâ€" sary to operate this section during holiday periods are not available, says the health and social services report. Charging that a recent de- cision of the Richmond Hill Committee of Adjustments which approved severance of three lots on Naughton Drive was contrary to the applic- able zoning bylaw and dis- criminatory, Regional Coun- cillor Lois Hancey failed Monday night in an effort to have council appeal the de- cision on two of these lots. The last day of appeal on the third (January 31) had al- ready passed. Mrs. Hancey pointed out other applications for sever- ances with much less vari- ance had been refused by the committee. She charged Councillor David Stephenson, Hancey Charges Stephenson With Conflict Of Interest Cite Bramalea Man In Bond Theft Maple Negotiable bonds worth $25,000. and believed to be part of $200,000 worth of Western Realty Projects Limited bonds taken from the Canadian National Railway yards in Maple last Decem- ber. have been recovered in Bramalea.

HANCEY SHOCKED “We all took an oath of office to uphold the laws of this municipality. I suggest Councillor Stephenson was acting in conflict of interest as an agent for the applicant. I am absolutely shocked and abhorrcd by the decision of the committee," she said.

CALLS 1T FREEZE Last week, Councillor Gorâ€" don Rowe of Richmond Hill, said he was “very displeas- cd" ‘to see the planning com- miittee recommendation be- fore council. "To my way of thinking, it‘s a freeze on this area," he said. Mr. Rowe, who asked for a recorded vote, said he c0uldn't support the recom- mendation, “with the housing situation the way it is" Voting against the recom- m'endra-tion were Richmond Hill Councillors Lazenby, Rowe and Lois Hancey, and Councillor Jack Gilbert of Vaughan. Said Mayor William La- zenb-y of Richmond Hill: “What else are we going 'to use it for, other than to put house-s on?" Voting for it were the fol- lowing mayors: Ga'rnc‘t Wil- liams, Vaughan; Margaret Britnell, King: Anvt'h‘ony R-o- man, Markham; Gladys Rol- ling, E a st Gwillim'bury, BIG MAJORITY VOTE attended the funeral in full dress uniform.

Richmond Hill Council was in the dark Monday night for a half hour. The regular council meeting had begun at 7:30, the minutes of pre- vious meetings had been ap- proved and a delegation heard when the lights went out. Council and the score of citizens present were plunged into darkness while the street lights on Yonge continued to send forth their illumination undimmed, Treasurer William Rice made a hurried trip to the fire hall and came back with two battery-powered trouble lights which gave enough il- lumination for the correspon- dence to be dealt with. Richmond Hill Hydro re- ported most of the west side of town suffered from the blackout which was started when a connector shorted at Trench and Mill Street. This caused trouble to develop at the Chamney Substation on Trench Street. Mayor William Lazenby had just adjourned the meeting until 8 pm Tuesday evening and councillors were busy picking up it‘heir pa‘pcrs when hydro service was restored and council re- convened. When asked at the press conferenCe if she had since hoard from Mr. Wells, Mrs. Colbourne said she had. and that he now claimed to have been misquoted and his remarks “taken out of context." Mrs. Colbourne said too there had been some con- fusion over remarks she made to a trustee confer- ence in Toronto Sunday. The conference was held to dis- cuss Bill 275. the proposed legislation dealing with lworking conditions in the schools. She said she stressed the bill needed to be completely revised and received an ov- ation from the trustees. This was somehow construed in several news reports later as endorsation of the teachers' action by the trustees. BACKS NEGOTIATORS When asked by one ques- tioner if negotiations wouldâ€" n't go better "if certain pcople were removed" from the discussions, as had been suggested by some of the teachers. Mrs. Colbourne said the board wasn‘t negot- iating “morale or friend- liness." As for dropping certain people â€"â€" a reference to Ed- ucation Director Sam Chap- man. at present on leave with Richmond Hill Man Killed In Accident The funeral service was held Tuesday at St‘ Mary’s Anglican Church, Richmond Hill, with interment "m West- minster Cemetery.

It was also pointed out at the conference that the present pupil-teacher ratio is 17.7-1. contrary to the claim of Al Farquharson. president of District 11 of the OSSTF. that it is 20-1, and should be reduced to the 1972 level of 17-8-1.
