An order was hurled from the audience. “Use your ‘L‘room”. Quickly, efficiently, before any of the stage crew got there Norma Shone had dealt death to the menace. Danger was gone from our midst, we did not have to try to get out of that underground theatre with its long corridors. There was only a char- red area three feet high on the stage to remind us of the real- ity of the threat that had‘ menac- ed us. . - The audience broke into spon- taneous and prolonged applause; the actresses took up their places; they spoke their lines with feelâ€" ing and with spirit. There was only the charred hole to remind us that it had happened. Correspondent: Mrs. H. Acreman R. R. 2 Gormley, Ont.

When reports were in, it was found that finances were in fairly good shape,‘ and all teachers agreed to carry on with their same classes; Mr. Barker, superintendent, wishes to resign, but agreed to carry on until a successor ,is ap- pointed. There may possibly be a new class formed for those pupils who are now. inPrimary. but are just a bit young for that class. Gen- eral feeling was that we have a’ pretty good Sunday School, and Mr. Binnington thanked all who are carrying on. r We niisséd Cora Brodie from her usual place on Sunday, but hope she is quite recovered by now. Birthday Wishes on the scenery. Suddenly as it seemed to spring into full life a voice from the dark hall called loudly. imperatively, “There's a fire on the stage”.

The various committees are expected to prepare regular reports which the secretary will include on the agenda for perusal of the board members, so that all board mem- bers will be fully aware of the proposals emanating from a com- mittee before coming to a final decision. If necessary, the sec- retary, Mrs. D. Street, was in- structed to secure extra help with routine matters. Chairman Clement pointed out the local school board had never shirked its duties but had done most of the detail work of run- ning the schools itself - “We've not just listened" - Mr. Clement said. Now he believed the time had come when the load had to be lessened because of lack of time. Often the twice monthly meetings do not break up before one o’clock.

Plaxton appeared at Richmond Hill Town Council meeting Mon- day night and asked that Council reconsider the application for permission to erect a gasoline service station on the H. J. Mills Company property on Markham Road. Council last year refused the application, and Monday night on motion of Councillor W. J. Haggart and Reeve F. R. Perkins postponed any decision on the new application until council disâ€" misses the whole matter with In- dustrial Commissioner Langford. In presenting the request for rtconsideration of the applica- tion Mr. Plaxton was accompanied by Mr. H. J. Mills who stated the immediate development of the 24 acres owned by his Company was dependent on the permit for the service station. In his brief to council Mr. Plax- ton pointed out that Richmond Hill with a population of 14,000 has 14 service stations. Other municipalities with a smaller pop- ulation had more stations. New- market with a population of 12,- 000 has 20 stations, Aurora with 5,000 people has 15 stations. Pointing to the fact that Mark- ham Road is now part of the County Road system the brief ar- gued that traffic will undoubtedly increase, and at present there are only 3 outlets on this road com- pared to 10 on Yonge Street and 4 on Bayview. Mr. Plaxton, dealing with the drainage problem in the area con- tended that the Town has con- structed or initiated the construc- tion of drainage works in the area in a manner unauthorized by either the Municipal Act or the Municipal Drainage Act and suggested the town might be liable for damages. He maintain- ed the development of the Allen- court sub-division and the con- struction of the Walter Scott School had resulted in a greatly increased water run-off. With regard to Markham Fair. the Federation gave $100.00. $75 of this sum-went toward a spellâ€" ing contest for contestants from the rural schools only. The other $25.00 was divided among ex- hibits. Pres.

Mr. Plaxton on behalf of‘the' H. J. Mills Company undertook that conditional on the town granting the permit for the gas station they would release any claim which the Company may now have against the municipal- ity, and in addition would agree to grant the necessary easement for elimination of the drainage problem by the construction by the town of Richmond Hill of a proper outlet, and would deed to the town of Richmond Hill an 86- foot road allowance from Mark- ham to Centre St., and at once sign a petition for water and sewers under the Local Improve- ment Act. Councillor Paterson observed that the number of gas stations was not as important as the gal- lonage pumped. A great many people who live in Richmond Hill work in Toronto and purchase gasoline out of town. Gallonage figures submitted indicated exist- ing stations are not overtaxed. _ Mayor Tomlin stated that the estimated assessment of a gas station is $16,000. to $21,000 so that from an assessment stand- point commercial assessment in a gas station is just as valuable to the town as industrial building. On answer to a question by Councillor Paterson the Mayor said the municipality by a by-law passed in 1956 has the authority to regulate the number of gas stations in the town. . Councillor Haggart's motion postponing a decision until the matter is discussed with the In- dustrial Commissioner received unanimous support. Mayor Tom« lino urged that the meeting with the Industrial Commissioner be held as soon as possible. Mr. Mills pointed out that negoâ€" tions for the land are pending and that an early answer is desirâ€" able. He urged that the granting of the application would mater- ially hasten the development of the area.
