I was reminded of grade school trips to Huronia. It was during such trips that we would fre- quently stop and visit one of these old houses. now converted into a museum containing pio- neer and Iroquois remnants of the past. Unfortunately, in this case. an objective observation is only a display of narrow-mindedness. The developer bought the land to develop. He cannot be expect» ed to leave the land as is. The land cost him a great deal of money. which gives him the right to build on it. If Jane McLaren had a written agree- ment not to tear down the house. she would have probably have never received her price. ranteed. Eventually the valley above Leslie and Steeles will be developed. It is a natural site containing about 30 acres. The German Mills area is go- ing the Bayview Fairways route and “there's no excuse for it". The developer only had to plant seed to meet his commitment. The Bayview Fairways gravel pit, with a baseball screen, is an ideal example. To call it a park is an insult to the word.

In general, the coming school year promises to be bigger and better from every point of view. ATHLETES HONORED Nancy Scott is the deserving winner of the trophy for overall athletic achievement. She ex- cels in every team sport as well as track and field competitions. At the mom nt she is com- peting in the All-Ontario Semi- inals open hur- dle races, and by the time you read this she may have won. Principal Sherman Says Farewell To Students In a closing speech to the student body Fri- day, our principal, Mr. Sherman, wished every- one a safe and enjoyable summer. He mentioned many changes in View for Thornhill next fall. Several of our teachers are leaving the school, and will be replaced by many new faces. The C. M. Seath_ Plaque for outstanding ser- vice to school athletics was awarded to Jim Fonger. Kathy Saxton received the Ruth Hans- ford Memorial Shield for outstanding service to school activities. Thornhill’s newest group, The Way, under the direction of Mr. D. Foley has announced it will be active next year. The Way, aims to show how God’s message through Jesus Christ is the answer to teenage problems of today. The Sommerville Award for athletic develop- ment by a grade 10 student went to Suzanne Manning, Brad Bean and Jim Stewart. Warren Cresswell and Dan LePage are co-winners of the Kelson Award for outstanding leadership, sports- manship and athletic performance by a senior student. Don’t forget that exams start on the thir- teenth! Well, have a good summer everyone! (-efu6e BY PAUL VETERE German Mills Correspondent Too little done too late in a "mum" situation. A little red brick house. on German Mills. will be torn down this fall. In 1818, a family received a Crown grant containing this parcel of land. The house was erected and since fabrication, only three families have lived in it. It has been termed the first red brick house built in Markham. be it true or not. Jane McLaren, the last mem- ber of the last family to in- habit the dwelling. has occupied the building for 52 years. A good guess would place the dwelling's age at 135 years. Jane has sold the house and the land, which amounts to five acres, to a developer. The de- veloper intends to construct approximately 25 to 27 homes here, on the corner of German Mills and Simonston Boulevard. Jane want the house preserved. She claims a verbal agreement was made by the buyer not to tear it down. NATURAL BEAUTY Originally. I assumed that I was sent to cover a story on saving some old, frail, fractur- able house. My assumption was wrong. The house is very dur- able and upon entering it. I was reminded of grade school trips to Huronia. It was during such trips that we would fre- quently stop and visit one of these old houses. now converted into a museum containing pio- neer and Iroquois remnants of the past.

Stewart MacMillan, social worker with the York Cen- tral Hospital Mental Health Services. who served as chair- man for the past 18 months, will be moving next week to Kitchener. The silence and natural beauty on these five acres overpowers one. There are at least 50 large trees, that have been there as long as Jane can recollect. The land is not flat, but several different levels. A well-kept lawn leads one through these different levels. in and out of shrubbery and tall trees. There are two main clearings, of which the one adjacent to the house, is higher than the other. Looking objectively at the situation. I feel it should be made into a park. The trees and natural settings are perfectâ€" a small version of Edwards Gardens. The house can be a sanctuary of knowledge. It is a museum-piece of knowledge for our children. The low doorways and spacious rooms are excellent examples of past architecture. An uneducated guess on my part. estimates 15 homes can be built on the remaining land, which is a field behind the house and along Simonston. These lots would back onto the house and remaining ‘park-llke’ land, DEVELOPMENT PLEASE Saturday the York County Roman Catholic Separate School track and field meet was held at George Williams Secondary in Aurora.

TARC has found a coach [by the name of Rick Daniell. TYKES Too mnay errors by Peck Bros. Shell put Bill Hall‘s Esso ahead June 4 by 11-4. For the Essos. James Urguiza was the star of the game with a triple and a home run. Career Academy got off to a good start with the score 9-2 at the end of the sixth inning. But Thomhill Lions had a big rally and tied the game 9-9. Mike Danckert got the tie run for the lions, and also pitched a good consistent game. Thomson and Hoffman made good catches in the field. growing population of Rich- mond Hill. Pat has long been connect- ed with the YWCA activities, teaching gymnastics in the winter and spring courses and serving on committees for many fund-raising events â€" all leading up to a very worthwhile service with the new residents of the BAIF subdivision. She also played a major role in the incorpora- tion of all citizens in a body which would show interest and awareness in the deve- lopment and beautification of our town. Pat has given a great deal of her time to the preparation of progress reports for the task force and shown parti- cular concern in the preser- vation of a good environment for the town she now is leav- ing behind. We wish Bill, Pat and their family every happi- ness in the Northwest Terri- tories, whose population. tho- ugh scant, will surely benefit from this community-orient- ed couple. Fisher Bros.

School June 13, 14, 15, 1974 8 pm. A verbal agreement assures the interests of both parties. Finan- cial satisfaction on each side, yet neither side should be con- demned for trying to make a buck. It is their subjective ap- proach that confuses me. One might ask, “Where was the municipality during 81 this? Could they not have saved the house by buying it?" I doubt. it. The region and municipality is made up generally of people like you and me. It is not made up of experts in historical sites. Local Ward I Councillor Gary Kay asks, "Can we save every one? I don't know if this house should be preserved. Why does not the province do something?" As for the park. there may be a one-and-a-half acre park at the school site, on Simonston Boulevard. But this is not gua- ranteed. Eventually the valley above Leslie and Steeles will be developed. It is a natural site containing about 30 acres. Of course, he is right. The province should set up a com- mittee to handle an investigation into the possible preservation of ‘historlcal sites'. They Should be the judge and jury. Made up of experts. they can say ‘this house should be saved' or ‘this house should not be saved’. The German Mills area is go- ing the Bayvlew Fairways route and “there's no excuse for it". The developer only had to plant seed to meet his commitment. The Bayview Fairways gravel pit, with a baseball screen, is an ideal example. To call lt a park is an insult to the word. Most of the pupils of gra- des 7 and 8 of St. Mary Immaculate will be leaving June 18 for a three-day camp- ing trip. Ana Falkner will be taking her combined grades ’7 and 8 class to Bass Lake near Orillia and Sister Stella Marie's grade 7 class will go with Ray Kyte (another teacher in the school) to Pine- hurst Park on the Grand ‘River nead Kitchener.

Career Academy came back to win 11-8. Daniella Tosonie (grade 8) of Pemberton Crescent won two firsts and a second, in running broad jump events. Sandra Di Giochino (grade 7) from Weldrick Road took a first and a third breaking the record for running long jump. Karen DeHaas of Spruce Ave- nue (grade 7.) took two firsts in relay and standing long jump, Danny Iafano of May Avenue, was doing well until he tore some ligaments in his leg during the relay race and had to be taken to hospital for treatment. Another fine athlete to whom the school ,owes its first place standing is young Debbie Baskerville, Ruggles Avenue, a grade 6 student who got five firsts. Thornhill Lions won their first game of the season June 6 by defeating Bill Hall's Esso first place team. Mike Moore pitched well for the Lions with Tom Sobirious making some great catches.
