This decision waé base-d Jpon the request from Most Rev. Philip Pocock, archbishop of Toronto, that Catholic RICHMOND HILL â€" Although the technicalities have not yet been worked out, the York Region Roman Catholic separate school board voted Tuesday to support the newly formed ShareLife Appeal. ’SVhareLife was organized last spring when the Catholic Charities withdrew frgrp the; United Way campaign. A special meeting will be held Thursday morning (Feb. 3) at 8 o’clock at the town council chambers. Separate trustees favor Sharelife plan At that time, a spokesman for GO Transit will be on hand, along with Mayor Dave Schiller and Councillor Mike Burnie, chairman of the town’s engineering and transit committee, to discuss the new system. Transit riders discontented Wright, Schiller seem to agree RICHMOND HILL â€" Region Chairman Garfield Wright and Mayor David Schiller were shoulder to shoulder last week fending off questions from Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce members. AURORA â€"- John Kippen, assistant director of public education for York Region, may be thinking these days an early-morning caller may have some strong views on education, but is too shy to say anything about them. Kippen told police last week he received telephone calls Jan. 16, 18 and 23, twice at 4 am. and once at 2 am. However, when he answered, the party hung up‘ Police are investigating. RICHMOND HILL â€" Discontented G0 bus riders, protesting recent changes in the transit system, will have a chance to hear why those changes have been made. Last November, bus services bet- ween Richmond Hill and Finch Ave. subway station were integrated, with G0 operating the run and not the TTC. They showed that Markham’s school taxes per capita were higher and the disparity had increased in Markham‘s rapid growth period to date. When one questionner was flum- moxed by Mayor Schiller’s answer on whether Richmond Hill taxpayers would be subsidizing school costs in a fast growing town of Markham, Wright produced the figures to back up the mayor's position. Nuisance call The establishment of the school has received approval from the Toronto Archdiocese. The archdiocese will be responsible for the school’s ad- ministration through its board of trustees. Eliminated in the move was the G0 express bus to downtown Toronto. This change is one of the complaints of local citizens. Some area citizens are circulating a petition to get names for a formal protest. KESWICK â€" A man who police said spent the day drinking beer and con- suming heroin at a friend's cottage last week, died in his sleep. Another bone of contention is the elimination of the Markham-Yonge stop for the G0 bus. Police said Joseph, Balazs 21, of Fenelon Dr., Don Mills, was found dead in bed the next morning. RICHMOND HILL â€" A private Roman Catholic high school for Grade 11 to 13 classes has been approved for York Region. That does not mean that individuals pay higher school taxes in Markham. It means they have more assessment, Sleep fatal The Boyd Conservation Field Centre provides a natural environment for students from all over the Toronto area to learn about conservation. See page C1.

September start Grade 11 classes will begin in Sep- tember with an expected 150 students. Grade 12 and 13 classes will be added in 1978 and 1979 respectively. KLEINBURG â€" The McMichael Canadian Collection has now received a provincial grant of $75,000 towards the purchase of Tom Thomson’s “Summer Shore Georgian Bay." one of Thomson‘s outstanding paintings However the school will operate as unit with St. Robert’s Junior High School in Thomhill. The grant from Wirftério refiresents 50 per cent of the total cost. “That was a reason for setting up regional governments in the first place.” The region already has the land for it, a Children‘s Aid headquarters has already gone there, and a court house will go there. “When I said last year at regional council we had not chosen the ad- ministrative centre yet, I never saw so many tongues go into so many cheeks so fast,” said Schiller. Doesn't matter Since regional and school board taxes are levied at the regional level, it does not matter so much anymore in what parts of the region growth takes place, said Schiller. Political issue Schiller said there was a planning reason for putting the headquarters in Richmond Hill, near the population centre of the region. But the issue became political. This was after Planned Parenthood, an abortion counselling and referral agency, was admitted to the United Way group. The Council of Catholic Charities, which includes the seven agencies with- drawn from United Way, will receive $1.2 million of the goal. ’Father Don MacLean, Vau-ghan trustee, has been appointed clergy chairman. / Chf'riities witbdray from_ Ignited Way $292 million goal The ShareLife appeal has set a goal of $2.5 million, executive Paul Robinson told the board. The Development of Peace campaign will receive $800,000. The balance will go to St. Augustine Seminary and Providence Villa. Payroll deductions The board will ask separate school teachers to make contributions to the ShareLife campaign through payroll deductions.

Students previously completing Grade 10 at St. Robert's were forced to enter the public school system for further education or had to attend private schools outside the region. The York Region Roman Catholic separate school board will provide aid to the new school in hiring of teachers and organizing the school, Zupancic saidl Approval of the new school provides Roman Catholic students with the opportunity to complete their high school education in a separate school environment. Larry Darby, currently principal of St. Robert’s, will assume the additional role as principal of the private school. Tuition $500 Tuition fees, expected to toal $500, plus school fund-raising projects will be used to finance the new school. The archdiocese will provide the borrowing power for the private board.
