already been approved by their respective executives and by the hospital board The hospital has had two womens auxiliaries the Newmarket and District and the Aurora and District since when the Aurora group split from the existing single auxiliary and set up its own organization If the amalgamation Is ratified by the two memberships the new organization will be known as the York County Hospital

organizations for the past three or four years they have co operated closely on a number of projects and for the last two years have operated a single volunteer program in the hospital She said the amalgamation is the next logical step in this relationship The Newmarket auxiliary has about 70 members at present and the Aurora group about she said but the Newmarket group has been the more active

elimination of community names from the new auxiliary title will be to attract V4 l Shi more members from outlying areas served by the hospital such as Stouffville Sutton and Bradford At present the

meeting on the issue of whether the course property should be designated open space or residential under the towns proposed official plan earlier this summer Mr James has an official objection to the

Highlands owner Joseph Shaw eloping a new scheme both parties would benefit the new development of the golf course would expand through to Bathur St and a link road would pan through the property It would also allow Murray Dr to pass through the course from south to north Originally Mr Shaw had asked council for approval to develop only the front of the course leaving his remaining holdings for a new course site The new plan calls for residential development surrounded by an golf course which will go along KennedySt to looping bade along Fairway Dr to Yonge St The club house facilities will
