Vaughan Town Coufl 26 Delay Hiring Architect, Library Favoring his hiring were Councillors Milton Savage and Acting Mayor David Fraser. Opposed were Coun- cillors Jim Cameron and Ab Hollingshead. Absent from the meeting were Mayor Garnet Wiliiams and _Coun- cillors Fred Armstrong and Jack Gilbert. The recommendation will be brought back to council at the next meeting for an- other vote. Councillor Cameron voted against the hiring of an arch- itect at the present time be- cause he was still concerned over the proposed locale of the new library. He felt it was located too far south and should be more in the "centre part of the village instead of South Thornhill. We need a lib- rary to service the present bulk of population and not one to service an imaginary population in the future. In any case there are plenty of library outlets already exist- ing to the south."

She is the convenor. She pointed out there is great need for cloth- ing of course but also for bedspreads, sheets and china. Those who can afford it pay, something, and those who can’t, have such great need. Mrs. Bryce is always willing to pick up whatever you can spare. Her talk was followed by a film presented by one of the teachers from the Montessori School. It was entitled: “Teach me so that I can do it myself." It had been filmed in Holland but children are the same there as here. It stimulated many questions. On March 5 Mrs. Mary Sue McCarthy was the speaker. (She is giving the course on parent education under the sponsorship of Family Ser- vices in Richmond Hill.) Her subject was “Sex and the Pre-Schooler." She is a marvelous speaker, and the questions went on and on. The Mothers’ Break pro- gram is to be congratulated on their speakers and the variety of interests that they present.
