LOCAL EXPROPRIATIO Board Marks Time On Speed Up In N. York A long, "second look" at the program of speededâ€"up classes for gifted students in North York high schools is to be taken by board of education experts,, teachers and trustees this sumâ€" mer,. Conservation Authority Hedges On The program, a pilot operation carried out at Northview Colâ€" legiate, began with the grade 10 class in 1958. Another grade 10 class began the "fourâ€"yearsâ€"inâ€" three" project at Northview last September. \ According to Dr. F. W. Minkâ€" ler, director of education for North York, school department heads had recommended that no new "accelerated" class be set up this September. The department heads wanted time to study all the aspects of the experiment beâ€" fore ‘proceeding any further, Dr. Minkler said. An alternate plan for gifted students is contemplated, Dr. Minkler stated, and is being studied by the Northview staff. He advised trustees that teachers who had originally endorsed the acceleration project now expressâ€" ed doubts. "The only clearâ€"cut advantage in favor of the acceleration course appears to be that students are saving one year," Dr. Minkler said. A survey of the reaction of parents to the program revealed that 75 per cent said they would enrol their children in acceleraâ€" tion courses again. But there was divided opinion among parents as to whether the subject matter was properly absorbed because of the speeded up study pace. Builder Blamed For Parking Lot Defects The parking lot of the Etobiâ€" coke township twoâ€"yearâ€"old $2,â€" 500,000 municipal building, nickâ€" named Taj Mahal by the resiâ€" dents, is showing signs of disâ€" integration. Council members were told by consulting engineers who made a study of the defects that the lot was sinking and underground sewage pipes have been broken. The report stated that the conâ€" tractor who built the civic centre was to be blamed. The decision of council was to motify the contractor to live up to his guarantee and make the necessary repairs, estimated: at about $25,000. Vol. 71, No. 28. THE POSTMAN RINGS ONCE at the Thistledown Boulevard home of Mrs. Kenneth oll as home delivery of mail beâ€" came a reality for the first time dn Tuesday in Thistletown. Mrs. Nicoll accepts her matl from postman John O‘Neill, of the Rexdale post office, ose walk includes the Thistleâ€" town area. Looking solemnlly on at the historic occasion is threeâ€"yearâ€"old David Nicoll. The Nicolls have resided on Thistledown Boulevard for about two and a half years. Along with other area residents they have been pressing for home delivery of mail for more than a year. Students in the accelerated proâ€" WESTON‘S : OWN WEEKLY PAPER i4 TF m1C on PAPER mCs d i GROWINC i gram denied any adverse effect from the course. Most indicated that they favored the speed up. However, Dr. Minkler noted that good students might be reluctant to admit that they found the work difficult. Council Split On Property Line Issue A new regulation that will imâ€" pose a $50 fine on those residents who are guilty of planting trees, shrubs cr installing rock gardens on the township road allowance ut the bottom of their front lawns is being reviewed by the Etobiâ€" coke council, William Swann, municipal enâ€" gineer, asked the councillors to stipulate a bylaw prohibiting unâ€" authorized use of township land. He explained that on most streets part of the road allowance exâ€" tends back onto houséholders‘ lawns, Majority of the citizens tend the grass on these townshipâ€" owned strips, considering them part of their own front lawn. A comprehensive report on the uccelerated â€" program â€" will be given to board of education trusâ€" tees in August. Final decision as to whether the third such class will be undertaken at Northview Collegiate will be made at that time. Mr. Swann complained that some of these householders get carried away to .the extent of building fences, planting hedges or flower beds which obscure fire hydrants or interfere with the clear vision of motorists at corâ€" ners. Councillor Bob Rush supported the deputy reeve‘s stand with this argument: "We‘ve t a lot of cleaning up to do ourselves on township land next to wellâ€"kept homes. Some of our easements are terrible masses of mud and weeds." Besides levying a fine for ofâ€" fenders, the proposed bylaw would be sufficiently relaxed to allow permission to be given for use of certain road allowances by citizens but only upon their takâ€" ing out public liability insurance. Commenting on the outcome of such a bylaw, Deputy Reeve Murray Johnson said: "I‘d like to see pcople take more interest in cleaning up weeds on street lines. This would discourage them." Final decision was delayed by council. Home Shelter On Display In Weston Voters‘ List To Be Printed At $3,611.29 Display of the atomic fallout shelter recommended by civil deâ€" fence authorities for the average residential home will take place in Weston on Monday and Tuesâ€" day, July 25 and 26, Henry Loose, deputy controller of the local civil defence committee, anâ€" nounced today. Contract for printing the 1960 voters‘ list in North York was awarded to the lowest tender presented by the Mailograph Serâ€" vices Limited quoting the price of $3,611.29, including sales tax. New Executive For H.N.S. At St. Benedict‘s Use of the Weston fair grounds along ‘the Humber river near Lawrence avenue has been arâ€" ranged by Controller S. R. Greenâ€" wood of the Weston defence group. The truckâ€"mounted, simuâ€" lated shelter will be sited on the fair grounds parking area, a loâ€" cation accessible to cars and visible from Lawrence avenue, the deputy controller pointed out. The mobile _ demonstration shelter is on a tour of metroâ€" politan â€" Toronto municipalities. Reg Johnston, chief instructor of the Metro Toronto civil defence organization, has been responâ€" sible for corelating the various demonstrations in the metropoliâ€" tan area. T. J. Calnan of Weston Colâ€" legiate and Vocational school was one of 11 Toronto teachers who spent a week of their holidays reâ€" cently taking a close look at what happens to their students once they leave school and enter industry or the business world. Tenders were also submitted by the Allen Press, Letter Supply Company, _ Ontario â€" Municipal Stationers, and Traders Printing Company. a Guest speaker at the election meeting of the society was Clifâ€" ford Adams, Q.C., of the Serra Club of Toronto. The project, first of its kind in Toronto, was held in conjunction with the Ontario Department of Education and the Bell Telephone Company. Its object was to give the high school guidance counâ€" sellors an opportunity to see how selection and initial placement of a student is carried out in indusâ€" try and what training and deâ€" velopment a new employee reâ€" ceives to equip him for his work. In actuality the lowest tender, received from the Ontario Muniâ€" cipel Sationers at the amount of $455, upon further investigation turned out to be sent out in error and was withdrawn at the reâ€" quest of the company. Election of the 1960â€"61 execuâ€" tive of the Holy Name Society of St. Benedict‘s Church was highâ€" lighted by the naming of Ross Beagon as president. Other executive members are: Bruce Melanson, first viceâ€"presiâ€" dent; John Black, second viceâ€" president; John Quigg, secretary; Gordon Spiers, treasurer; Charles Benn, marshall; Samuel Baptiste, first delegate; John Naughton, second delegate; Thomas O‘Brien, past president. _ Each counsellor was able to visit and talk with young emâ€" ployees as well as supervisors in any three of the five major deâ€" partments within the company according to their own choice. In this way every department, its operations and on the job training methods were studied. Counselâ€" lors were able to question‘ emâ€" ployees about job problems and to see at first hand the mental vequirements for the various company positions. Such questioning was in many instances carried on without the presence of a gupervisor so that m more "free and easy" discusâ€" sibn could take place. School Counsellors Get Look At Results Of Vocational Guidance OFF TO CAMP go thirty youngsters under the sponsorship of the Rexdale Lions‘ Club. Despite the downpour which washed out the Saturday matinee performance of the Lionsâ€"sponsored Clyde Beaityâ€"Cole Brothers circus at Rexdale Plaza earlier this monthâ€" plus the various municipal levies which tore big holes in the budgetâ€"the enterprise manâ€" aged to produce enough revenue to allow the Rexdale Lions to send thirty children to Donations to the Humber Memorial Hospital Building camâ€" paign since June 13 have totalled more than $50,000, the campaign chairman announced on Tuesday.

All the guidance counsellors also spent time at the employâ€" ment centre to watch selection and placement procedures. At a final "getâ€"together" sesâ€" sion the counsellors with Bell employment and training personâ€" nel discussed the knowledge they had gained concerning business practices and: the mental and personality tequirements of stuâ€" dents in addition to their acaâ€" demic qualifications. Mr, Calnan said the week had been a "tremendous eye opener to him. I had no idea the amount of work that is being done with personnel development," he said. Dr. Cecil Wilkins of Riverdale Collegiate commented th&t this was the first time a group of guidance counsellors had been given the chance to tell a comâ€" pany what they wanted to see and not merely be taken on a oneâ€"day conducted tour. "I believe that such experiâ€" ments as this can do nothing but good for student, counsellor and business," he said, "and I would personally welcome the opporâ€" tunity to earry out a similar study in some other industry anâ€" other year," j Humber Mémorial Hospital Fund Nearly Half Way To Objective THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1960 tario Municipal Stationers, $25; Gary Pharmacy, $10; C & M Conâ€" fectionery & Gifts, $10; W.
