Hillcres’r Mall First Hill Girl Guide captain dies Her interest in medical problems remained keen and she served the past two years as a member of Toronto Mayor David Crombie’s task force for the disabled and elderly. A Richmond Hill girl who served as the town’s first Girl Guide captain and who later became the first woman medical insurance underwriter in Ontario died last Wednesday night. Winifred (nee Gillings) Mickelson, 62. passed away in Toron’uo General Hospital. She had been in ill health since suffering a massive heart attack in December 1973. She was a large con- tributor to the task force’s report, issued in booklet form by the City of Toronto. Winnie, as she was known to her friends, was in- strumental in organizing the town’s first Gir} Guide troop and served as its first captain in the late 1920’s. After graduation from Richmond Hill High School, she became a secretary in the medical underwriting department of Excelsior Life Insurance Company in Toronto. When male un- derwriters were called into service in World War 11, Mrs. Mickelson took on the duties of a medical un- derwriter, a position held then only by men. and may have been the first woman in Canada to hold such a job. Following her wishes, there was no formal funeral service and the body was cremated. Community use of Concord School approved by Board, councillors happy In 1946, she married Harry L. Mickelson, a master Sergeant in the US. Airforce and accompanied her husband on tours of duty throughout the U.S. and in England. She returned to Canada in 1967 with her family. Surviving are her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Penny Barker and Rhona Winifred and a son Stephen, all of the Toronto area. Two sisters Mrs. Mary Watts of Barrie and Mrs. Lorna Noble of Maple, and a brother, Tom Gillings, of Richmond Hill, also survive Mrs. Mickelson. Monday York County Board of Education ap- proved a draft agreement for the joint use of the school with the Town of Vaughan. This agreement will con- tinue on a year-to-year basis It is now virtually certain that Concord will have its much sought after com- munity centre in the boar- ded-up Concord Public School. Under the terms of the agreement. approved earlier by the board’s planning and building committee, the town will pay for heat, hydro, janitorial services, plumbing. paint and window maintenance. The board will pay for major repairs and carry the mortgage. tel maternity L fashlons Vaughan Councillors Terry Goodwin and Lorna Jackson said Tuesday they were happy the board had agreed to the town‘s proposal. Originally board staff had suggested Vaughan carry the debenture. But Vaughan officials protested that they are in fact doing the board a favour by keeping the school in service and ready for immediate occupancy should there be a fire in another school building. Pat Kemp of Concord. who has been active on a citizen committee pushing for the community centre, said Concord residents must now be sure to use the building. Representatives of the citizen committee will meet with town officials Thursday to discuss possible recreation programs.

AURORA: About $700,000 worth of road constrtuction is planned here this year with work on Wellington Street taking about half the budgeted amount. Lorna Jackson said the only “hang-up" she sees to council making major ex- penditures in the centre is the one-year lease. But she predicted the purchase of portable items. such as stoves and refrigerators for a kitchen, might be con- sidered favorably.
