With Markham Town’s two regional coun- cilors and mayor unwilling or unable to use their extra political weight to bring about re- distribution of wards in the municipality, nearly 300 South Thornhill ratepayers have taken action to force the council’s hand within 30 days. The petition only had to have 150 signa- tures to set the wheels in motion, but Coun- cillor Kay said the ratepayers wanted to be sure there is fully adequate support for the action and will be submitting a further petit- ion with 65-70 more signatures. Councillor Kay has been pressing for redistri- bution almost since taking office January 1 last year. But so far the council’s redistribu- tion committee headed by Mayor Anthony Roman has steadfastly refused to 'act. Mayor Roman in January promised Kay a redistribu- tion report by February 1. That date is now more than a month old without any report coming out of committee.

The 165th Brownie Pack who meet every Wednesday at St. Paschal’s, 92 Steeles Avenue West, from 6:45 pm to 8 pm, went on a trip by car to Bruce’s Mill on March 30.

However, the children en- joyed seeing how the maple trees are tapped and the sap is boiled to be made into the syrup most people use on their pancakes. at the church where coffee and doughnuts were served.

The occasion was an “open house” to in- spect the renovations and furnishing of the residence for their priest. Shortly after 5 o'clock everybody sat down to a sumptuous feast of goodies; they were mostly Ukrainian foods with the addition of other European specialities, and even one Chinese. As Dr. Peter Stasiuck, president of the council. remarked in his welcoming speech, no one need to fear being snowed in. There was enough food for the next two days. But judging by the enlarged ap- petites due to the very special food, I don’t think much was left over! After supper the newly formed choir under the direc- tion of Nichola Cleshkewicz, sang exceedingly well and de- lighted the audience. There followed one or two “Thank you” speeches to the people who had given hours of service to the refurbishing of the rectory. Mrs. Mary4 On April 4 the movie “Sex and Communication” by Drs.

Sixteenth Ave. School Notes Otherwise the petition goes before the Mun- icipal Board so that provincial authority can re-divide the mhnicipality into wards in what- ias'er fashion the board members see fit, says ay. In January the South Thornhill councillor warned the mayor and his fellow municipal members that his ratepayers are insisting on an equitable distribution of wards according to changes in population. He said they would be taking the petition route if council didn’t act. It didn’t. ' Kay says his South Thornhill Ward 1 has approximately one-third of Markham Town’s population while having only one of the six ward seats in council. Thornhill Wards 1 and 2 are reported to havé just about exactly half of the town’s 47,000 population while having only a third of the ward seats. Ward 1 is bounded by the Toronto Ladies Golf Club, Green Lane, the Highway 404 right-ofâ€"way near Woodbine Avenue (Don Mills Road), Steeles Avenue and Yonge Street. Ward 2 lies between Ward 1 and Highway 7. Markham Town Council has nine seats. Six of them are for ward councillors. Three of them are for the mayor and two regional councillors. These three are elected at large by all the voters of the town. EAST RICHVALE SOCIALS CORRESPONDENT: MRS.

By MARGARET GOVAN North Thornhill Correspondent Recently a friend of mine invited me to an evening bridge and suggested that I come ahead of time to enjoy a cold supper with her. It didn’t turn out as we had anticipated because she slic- ed her finger as well as the meat. We ended up at the emergency department of a local hospital. I had never sat in on an evening at the emergency before this. In l TSS Tiger Tales I April 29 Additions T0 Markham Transit Adventures Of A Cut Finger In Local Hospital Emergency Direct connections are to be provided to the newly opened Finch Subway Station in Metro and more Thorn- hill streets are to be served, says Traffic Co-ordinator Harvey Cox. More detailed information will be available soon. Revisions and improve- ments are being made to the Markham Town transit ser- vice in the Thornhill area April 29. MORE STREETS Route 2 will service more Thornhill streets, connecting with TTC buses at the same points as at present,namely On Route 1 in Thornhill the buses now following John and Leslie Streets to Yonge and Steeles will con- tinue on to the Finch sub- way station. Classes are back in session, and students are digging into the books with renewed enthusiasm after the Winter Holiday last week. Approximately 100 students from Thornhill and the surrounding area spent their vacations in Paris, France. The trip for Thornhill stud- ents was organized through “The Heritage Soc- iety of Canada” by Mr. R. Dyer and Miss Vottero, both of ’Ihornhill Secondary School. TOUCHDOWN WAS EXCITING Subsequent bus rides included several near- collisions, much cutting in and out, several yelled insults at other drivers, and excessively high speeds. Everyone giggled hysterically as if they just couldn’t believe what was happening. TOURS OF CITY Planned tours included a panoramic view of the city by bus, a boat excursion along the Seine River, a visit to Chartres, with its age-old The flight over was uneventful, but the touchdown in Paris was an exciting moment for everyone. We were immediately introduced to the madcap drivers on the roads while travelling to our hotel. Most students mounted the Eiffel Tower, strolled along the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe and explored Ile de la Cite, the site of Notre Dame Cathedral. The Paris “Metro” subway system was a great asset to shoppers and sight-seers. The complicated routes allowed us to alight at any destination. Cathedral, Versailles with its royal court and regal atmosphere, Fontainebleu. the 12th Century Hunting Palace of Napoleon I, and the Louvre, the home of the Mona Lisa. Championship playoffs for the big Thornhill Church League min0r hockey 1973-74 season were held March 23 and 24 at the new Markham Centennial Arena.

Route 3 through Old Mark- ham Village and Unionville new steps at Kennedy Road and Steeles. But April 29 this route will be extended to Victoria Park where it will connect with the TTC Steeles bus to the Finch Sub- way. This will mean passeng- ers on this route will be able to make TTC connections to both the Warden Avenue and Finch subway stations, says the Markham traffic co-ordi- nator. NEW ROUTE Markham transit is also starting a new route connectâ€" ing Old Markham Village with Unionville, running all day Monday to Saturday, exâ€" cept holidays, says Cox. My friend came out well bandaged. “Home” she said to me, “and we’ll head off the bridge guests.’ ‘I‘ don't wear them often. My 18-year-old granddaugh- ter talked me into them. Said I must be smart," the other replied. FOREVER YOUNG Another woman who had sat quietly in the comer up until now, smiled broadly. (She was on the right side of 50 but pretty close to it.) "I understand just how your granddaughter feels. I'm 19 myself. Have been for the last two years," she added with a chuckle, “so you see I‘m just 21." “I had two good eyes, and two good ears, and two good hands and two good feet," she remarked in broken Eng- lish. “And now I have a broken wrist and a broken hip and I don’t see so good, or hear so good either. You ought to ‘Thank God' for all your bones that work." She caught sight of an- other elderly woman whose shoes were the latest with platform sole's and four inch heels. She shook her head. “You shouldn't walk on them dearie. It’s not safe." “I was crossing the road when I sat down, and my wig fell off; so I scrambled for it first thing; my hair was such a sight I had to put it on. And there was a man stand- ing there and he didn't help me at all. just laughed and laughed,” she said. ‘He made me come," she told us all coyly. She was in her mid-forties and her clothes and make-up were de- cidedly adolescent. She was excited and probably “high”. “What happened to you?" she demanded of my friend without a pause, TELL THEIR STORIES “I cut my finger while I was trying to carve some meat." ‘You‘d sort of mess up the meat. And at the price it is today! “And what happened to you?" she said to Mrs. Senior Citizen who was just back from the_X-ray. ANOTHER SENIOR Another elderly woman shuffled in using a walker. She had seen her doctor and the nurse was ordering a taxi at the time of her acci- dent. “I fell on the ice." she confided to everybody in general. “Want to see my bruises?" and she flipped up her diminutive skirt and ex- hibited a tremendous, color- ful patch on her sit-upon. Mrs. Senior Citizen had climbed into the car after a shopping expedition. and some one had slammed the door on her arm. The nurse took her off to the X-ray de- partment. STAR OF EVENING Then the star of the eve- ning arrived, plus a rather embarrassed husband. The da'ughter answered for her. “We had been buying the groceries. The boy who put them in the car, closed the door on my mother’s arm.” “Wowing them with sex at your age." exclaimed the uninhibitted lady, confusing Mrs. Senior Citizen com- pletely.
