thursday feb 5 1970 the tribune page 3 whitchurch may loosen reins on s lack of action charged ctfg whitchurch twp the pros and cons of approving increased residential development in the twp of whitchurch were discussed at length at a combned meeting of planning board and council jan 29 chairman douglas hope admitted that several subdivision applications had been placed before the board but no action had followed he said that members wishing to serve the best interests of the municipality had appealed for advice at both the county and provincial level he noted that they had provided little assistance since one contradicted the other if it was my own busi ness i would make up my own mind and reach a de cision said mr hope but i hate to gamble when the publics interest is at stake deputy reeve norman barnard was critical of the boards inaction weve been floundering about and accomplishing nothing theres supposed to be an agenda this is something that was start ed where is it in reply ing to his own query mr barnard said a change in secretaries had created some problem we need to sit down and put things in some semblance of order councillor merlyn bak er said many persons had purchased 25 acre proper ties in the township with hopes of bringing up their families in a rural atmos phere instead he said they now find themselves stuck and paying taxes that have in some cases tripled i feel sorry for these people he said the whole things screwy councillor gordon rat- cliff said applicants should be dealt with on an individual basis and given a yes or no answer he suggested that the board look favorably on sites served by adequate roads in connection with estate type homes mr baker said it only made sense to continue this kind of buildup in areas where such residences already existed councillor betty van nostrand recommended that buildup be permitted on county or provincial roads and adjacent to ex isting towns or hamlets mrs van nostrand admit ted that it was difficult to decide at what point resi dential development be comes a detriment to a township rather than a benefit she contended that a 5o unit buildup per year was too low reeve stewart burnett warned that whitchurch could find itself in serious trouble if permits were is sued too liberally two hundred more homes wont lower the taxes he said councillor baker argued that it shouldnt raise the taxes any either with respect to subdi visions mr burnett rec ommended that 3 or 4 of the best plans already on file be reconsidered by the board councillor barnard pointed out that the town ships official plan had been approved back in november two months have gone by he said its time we got off the fence on a recommendation by mrs van nostrand it was agreed that gary wright of the planning branch dept of munici pal affairs attend the next meeting and that planning board act on his advice snowmobile carnival claremont an after noon of fun for the whole family has been arranged by the

the board jan 26 by principal wm e dux- bury an opinion poll was con ducted among elementary pupils their teachers and some parents the pros and cons of the plan have been listed for study and discussion most students like the following six day system be cause it is not as boring as the ordinary sit in the class all day system cafeteria library quite a number of different teachers and if you dont like a certain teacher you dont have to stay with him all day shop home econo mics physical education program and more equip ment lockers parties in the gym moving from room to room as this gives a break between periods separate health clas ses guidance art gets us ready for high school meeting new people the high school kids and how they have ac cepted us high school kids are very helpful gave up a lot for us lots of washrooms after all said and done tmeres l0tm0resaid than gets done getting to school earlier students expressed dis satisfaction with the fol lowing no place to go after lunch gymnasium is in use with regular classes cant go to lockers as would disturb other clas ses in session lockers are too small especially for those that have to share one detentions for being late senior prefect system prefects get after them too much no time for baseball at noon or at recess dont like the brats in this class and if i had my way i wouldnt be in here with these hoods should have some regular spares to study should have longer lunch periods and more pe periods bus students cant stay after school to take part in activities too far to walk to school from the east end of stouffville high school kids look down on us and they dont want us around i cant blame them cause we dont want them a- round either like longer parties during school about 2 hours instead of a measly 1 not enough time for sports activities in the gym cafeteria too crowd ed and food not always good periods little too long should be more choice of subjects halls too crowded recess too short like more dances at the bottom of the heap have to have activity cards to get into the clubs girls have to wear dresses would like mixed gym period would like to take more shop and spend time in other shops as well would like to take in strumental music treated like high school students too much expected of them buses too crowded difficult to bring things on bus projects etc too much homework and too manv projects many of the comments above were stated only once however most stu dents approve of the ro tary system and having manv different teachers they like moving from room and the variety and change of atmosphere which this provides they like the special subjects such as home economics shop etc they seem to appreciate the special fa cilities provided in these rooms and by the cafe teria gymnasium library the greatest single dislike is the sports programme although there are quite a number of teams which compete against other schools this still only in volves a relatively small number of the students and gym time is not avail able after school for other than school teams stu dents would also prefer a longer lunch period rather than the 50 minutes they now have but this would only be practical if there was something for them to do at noon a few stu- a u the easter seal program sponsored by stouffville lions club presents a musical program j mr special guest clarion baker
