last five years with fellow students and with teach ers whom we now regard as true personal friends Because this may be our final meeting together it might be well to look back for a few short moments over the road we have just travelled When we entered this insti tution of learning five years ago we were quite dubious of what the future held in store for US We were frightened and be wildered New subjects with weird names like physics botany and algebra caused us to balk and wonder What have I got into During the next three years We derived great enjoyment from ootball basketball track and

Education was one long drudgery and a pain in the neck Entering the Inst year of high ehool I finally realized that may be there was something in this education business after all saw some value in

are living in the best of all possible worlds and that the future looks blight But someone may say you are liv ing in a democracy What more could you want democracy is far from one possession which

Education is the keynote Note the words of Baron Brougham who said Education makes people easy to lead but difficult to drive easy to govern but Im possible to enslave Upon the education of the people of the world the fate of the world depends We who are graduating tonight are grateful that we have received at least a high school education and are somewhat enlightened on the troubled world into which we are stepping We are thankful that we live in a country which provides public education We are greatly indebted to our par ents who have encouraged us often forcibly to get this educa tion On this occasion we are especially grateful to our teach ers who have been our interested listeners and wise counsellors through the last five years What fortitude what tolerance what they must have had

will be held We leave tonight but our places at the opening of the new shortly be filled by others administration building The Newmarket Perhaps at pres ent it is more important for the southern municipalities but per haps the time has come to think of planning as a county problem An area could be established in the county for industry for re gardless of where industry lo cates in York county it will help all municipalities he explained The idea has been discussed many times in York county coun cil replied Mr Armstrong The financing of the future of the county depends on the plan ning board of today Industrial development schools roads should be covered by overall planning We must be careful in the selection of such a board At a meeting on planning which was held in Aurora two patterns were outlined which the county might follow in setting up a planning board explained Reeve Elmer Daniels of Stouff ville The first calls for the pro vincial department to set up a planning area and this would give York county planning board the same powers as are held by Metro Planning board The sec ond plan calls for the establish ment of a planning board in the county which would work jointly with municipal planning boards Under this it would still be nec essary to go before the depart ment of planning but the county planning board could act in an advisory capacity Vaughan Richmond Hill and the other southern municipalities are with in Metro planning area and un less this was changed it would be necessary to go through the Metro Planning The min ister recommended that Brad ford be included in a planning area if the county establishes one added Mr Daniels A committee should be named to study the problem agreed Reeve William Clark of Mark township Because of their position the southern munici palities are tied into Metro plan ning There could be a clash of authority if a county board is es tablished too hastily As I understand it one would be more of a dictatorship com mented Reeve Longford Pec of East Gwillimbury the other would work in conjunction with municipal planning board I would oppose the first idea hut approve the second We have a township planning board that functioning well The province wont change the Metro planning area said DeputyReeve Victor Jones of Aurora If that isnt changed what Is the use of setting up a county planning hoard PAY TRIBUTE TO
