Transportation costs were met by funds raised from the recent Music Night at the school 7 "We‘ve solved that problem here by having the system automatically drain itself at the critical temperature," he said. “More important. however, is the ability of the system to collect the maximum amount of energy in the minimum amount of space due to our reduced number of sunshine hours.“ RICHVALE â€" Sewers, Yonge Street traffic problems and taxes are on the agenda for a meeting of the recently- formed South Richvale Ratepayers Association March 31. The meeting will be held at 8 pm. in the library of Charles Howitt Public School on Pearson Avenue. "In our climate the obvious problem is keeping the water from freezing in the collectors when the temperature goes down. The meeting is open to all area residents, and representatives of provincial and town governments have been invited to attend. ’ Band takes trip The Langstaff secondary school senior band, directed by Victoria Fraser, gave concerts last week at high schools in Guelph and Woodstock. Bill McClintock. president of McClintock Homes, says his company has already learned much about solar energy technology from Provident House. Ontario‘s energy management program, coordinated by the ministry of energy, has provided $50,000 for the construction and monitoring of the solar collectors and other solar energy components in the house. Thé home, called Provident House, is in Carrying Place Estates in King Township. It is a co-operative project of the federal and provincial governments and McClintock Homes of Toronto, the builder.

Bishop is heavily involved in the experimental “cluster councils." Under this scheme. unique in York North, the Rev. Bishop feels strongly that new programs being initiated, particularly if they concern young people. should be worked at by all of the churches. Competitiveness should be avoided, he feels. Nor is Rev. Bishop daunted by the spectacle of a less than full at- tendance at Sunday morning serâ€" vices. Many areas of interest Day care centres. nursery schools. community preservation projects and Scouting and Guiding are other areas of interest the churches and parishioners of King City have shared in recent years. "That was interesting. It really kept the old-timers with their eyes wide open wondering what next we were going to do here," laughs Rev. Bishop. A, drop-in centre that attracted 75 to 100 teenagers from the surrounding area was established. “Drugs were the prime concern when I came here in ‘69," he recalls, and goes on to tell how the village's churches banded together to provide a forum for teenagers and their worried parents to engage in fruitful dialogue about the problem. He has dedicated his ministry not just to the members of his own flock but, in a spirit of ecumenism, to the wellbeing of the total community.

Speaking at a meeting last week Crombie assured the audience the future of the jail farm rests with the province and the Town of Richmond Hill. The meeting was sponSored by the Citizens Advisory Group, which an- nounced there will be a tour in the near future of Buttonville airport. Expansion of the airport is the subject of much controversy among residents. A library used to be a place where one simply borrowed books.

Games at library deanery is divided into three groups, or clusters of about seven churches. Each cluster has the ‘freedom to decide what work will be undertaken and what issues discussed, without recourse to central church approval. Rev. Bishop, who is currently regional Dean for York North, feels this de-centralization provides for a more active ministry. The emphasis has been placed on inter-parish planning and fellowship. Increasing involvement An added benefit is the increasing involvement of lay people in the work of the church, largely as representatives on the cluster councils. or as members of the ad hoc committees set up by the councils. The committees meet once a month. the councils at least once a quarter. Community preservation is also one of the church‘s ongoing in- terests, and Rev. Bishop, who designates the village “a fascinating place," is an active member of the Concerned Citizens of King. Before this. the town had sought new growth, and many of the old landmarks vanished in the building boom of the early 60‘s. So did many of the lovely old trees that once bordered Keele Street. “In 1969 this was a tbwn that wanted no change," he says. A reaction to this forced local residents to rethink their priorities and to place higher values on preserving the past.

Weddings, baptisms and niid- week services are held in the old church, which dates back to 1857, and a fund to restore both its interior and exterior was set up a year ago. A Ecomparable pr'ogram at other institutes would cost more than $100, he said. Poray explained the program was produced by the University of Saskatchewan for the Canadian YMCA Urban Group, as a result of concern in Canadians‘ health and the growing costs of health care. The title relates to cause and effect of altering natural conditions in urban wildlife habitat of the Toronto area. The meeting is open to the public and will be held at 8 pm. in the Blue Flame Room, Consumers’ Gas Company, 500 Elgin Mills Rd. East. Unfortunately, most of the records dating back to the church’s begin- nings have been lost. Rev. Bishop feels the cemetery that lies under spreading spruce trees at the southern end of the property may even predate the original church. Body and soul The Bishop family lives outside ~ the parish in Islington, where Mrs. Bishop is a practising family physician, (“the body and soul combination,” grins the doctor's husband).‘ Many of the village residents, however, comment that this minister is more available to them than many who have lived in the 01d manse near the church. The Bishop children, Elizabeth, aged 10 and Timothy, aged five, are cared for by a nanny. In this busy professional household, one day a week is reserved for the family and Rev. Bishop says he is “pretty rigid about maintaining my day off, which is Thursday. This is a family day. a study day, and the day 1 usually put everything together. The parish has “The program is not elaborate or highly technical." he said, “but it provides a standard base for com- parison with accepted norms for motivating individuals to improve their lifestyle for better health.

So far $10,000.00 has been raised, but a continuing fund will be necessary, the rector feels, in order to do all the repairs.

He remembers the doorways in the church being very low. “They were built for boys!" After graduation in 1958, Rev. Bishop took up a post at St. Hilda’s in Toronto. A large part of his ministry here involved youth work, which provided much of the experience that has made him such an asset to King City. Clergyman's son Rev. Bishop, himself the son of a clergyman, began life in his father’s parish of Rosebank, Saskatchewan. His school years were spent in Ontario, and in 1955 he entered the seminary of Trinity College at the University of Toronto. If the church is a dying institution. Neville Bishop’s parishioners probably haVen't heard about it, and if they do, it’s doubtful they’ll believe it. come to respect that. There are very few activities that require my involvement on Thursdays." Rev. Bishop confesses to liking “a little color" in his service. He has personally designed some of the brightly-colored embroidered cassocks he wears for special ser- vices. A love of music is another aspect of this new-style clergyman, and he is an enthusiastic fan of the church’s organist, Jim Leonard, who studied as a scholarship pupil of the late Healey Willan, one of Toronto‘s most famous church musicians.
