But Rochdale could be saved -- all it needs is the discipline of a proper business manage- ment which would cleanse the air and keep the floors clean. However, I am not convinced that our society should pay out good tax dollars so some people in this land can opt out of our way of life and merely take money and resources from the rest of us accused of corrupting the way of life. If Rochdale residents are busy doing bene- ficial things for other human beings, then I missed this point. I would rather guess that most of them are living in this filthy - smelling building to take the shiftless way of life -- and all on government grants, handouts and what have you. Rochdale College has proved conclusively to me (once again) that discipline and organiza- tion of society are essential ingredients in order to keep our minds and bodied healthy and therefore of some value to ourselves and the other human beings in our society. Rochdale could be saved -- but only with the administration of the building in the hands of a proper maintenance group. Rochdale youth have failed to convince anyone that they really can handle complete freedom. Bikini Beauty! / —,, Fits like a dream, costs little. easy to make.

(Photo - Bob Watson) A Comment On Use Of The Strap by Charles McGee With all the talk and fufaw about the strap and its merits or demerits, it is about time that the common folk, who pay the educational bills had something to say. I, a common taxpayer, believe that the price of a two inch wide strap, sixteen inches long, made of soft leather is much cheaper than the new modern methods used today for correc- tional purposes. Psychiatry, philosophy, per- missivness and all the other methods of today have not produced any better behaved persons than those educated under the old system when punishment was meted out with the strap. The strap, when used properly and with fairness, can be a form of therapy far cheaper and with much faster results than the couch at $35 plus. Children want and respect leadership that does not hesitate to use a little force, when needed. Most of us will agree that sadistic beatings by a teacher or a parent is stupid and can cause a lot of psychological harm. The cuffings and lickings that most of us remember and so richly deserved gives us a sense of endearment instead of hate towards those loved ones who administered them to us. I can find no hate for my mother or father, school teachers or principals, in fact I have learned to have a great respect for them. In the recent biography on Stephen Leacock, there is a bit on this subject of the strap that is worth repeating. Whenever he met one That Hair! We hear that an employee of Metro Toronto's ambulance corps is refusing to cut his hair to new regulations. He is going to take his rights to court I Well, it is about time we have a legal decision on this. The argument seems to be whether a company employing a person can enforce cloth- ing or other habits, or whether each person has the right to dress and act as he wishes. Among youthful citizens the majority appears to feel that the cutting of male hair is some- how similar to losing one's manhood etc. If the courts rule that anyone can wear his or her hair any way he or she wishes it is not difficult to extend this "right" to clothing speech and deportment. At the moment our discrimination laws are making it so an employer can't refuse to hire a coloured or Asian looking person for fear of appearing to discriminate? He can't ask for a photo of a person in advance; he can't suggest a job is better for a male instead of a female. In short, if employers can't exert any prefer- ence in their hiring of people, they will not be able to put together a group of humans to work and act together compatibly and efficiently. He may not be able to enforce any rules at all if he can't Bay how long hair can be. The question is going to be "whose rights are being violated?" of his former pupils he would quite often say; "Yes I remember you, I strapped you at U.C.C. many times". This always broke the ice and brought out a warm friendship and a pleasantly surprised pupil. Leacock used to boast that he had the honour of beating at least three Cana- dian Generals, four colonels, untold majors, captains and other dignitaries, including some outstanding - mayors, while teaching at U.C.C. In spite of these strappings, he thought they turned out quite well and it did not do them any harm. A little cuffing at the right time for the right cause in the right place never hurt any child to my knowledge. It should, however, always be ad- ministered with the child's individual temper- ment in mind. Aid To Separate Schools The attempt by separate school leaders to force Premier Wm. Davis to modify his stand on the extension of aid to separate schools from grade 11 to 13, is to 1)e deplored. After years of religious argument and deci- sions based on religious differences, the last thing most people want (whether Catholic, Protestant or Hebrew) is an election fought on the separate school extension issue. Separate school leaders would, in our opinion, be very unwise to force this issue into the po- litical arena as it could easily backfire on them in the voting. Already many Liberal and New Democratic voters are going to vote against their parties because of the stand which their parties have taken. Separate schools (grade 10 and under) have never had more revenues to work with than to- day. Facilities are being made more equal to the wealthier public schools. But even a large number of Roman Catholics are not convinced that separate schools should be extended yet another notch. And if we are to be fair and just, other reli- gious groups should have the opportunity to use tax resources for their own schools. After all, not only Roman Catholics are keen about re- ligious instruction. Many Protestant would like to have the opportunity of a separate school, but our laws only grant this privilege to Roman Catholics. There are different ways in which Roman Catholics -can protect their interest in educa- tion. Their desires are similar to other re- ligious groups. We believe that in a joint opera- tion all could exert a desirable influence on education in general. After all separate school students will have to mix with other students eventually in the stream of life and the education of all of odr children is important to all of us. r h� Thurs.

First announced on Wed. July 14th, the bill proposed afreeze on all assessments. However, the news media reported that the bill would freeze home assessments; they did not mention farm assessments. Bruce Taylor, Dur- ham county farmer and executive member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture learnt this Thursday when he met with William Pal- mer, Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs. "Palmer clarified the position for me" Mr. Taylor said later. "He explained that this freeze on assessment would apply to all pro- perty not just homes - but farms, commer- cial and industrial property too. This means that farmers won't be taxed out of their pants in the next few years," Mr. Tay- lor s aid. New buildings en- largements and im- provements won't in- crease assessed values unless they in- crease total market value by more than $2,500. The bill does not rule out the right of farmers to appeal their present assess- ments. "This freeze on pro- perty assessment un- til 1974 is preparation for a complete revam- ping of the system", Mr. Taylor said. "Mr. Palmer told me that his department was developing a new land value schedule for farm valuation. This schedule might be available for dis- cussion in six months, but it'll be several years before the de- partment is ready to revise all assess- ments".

It is reputed to have travelled with Alex- ander the Great, and the ancient Egyptians considered it a sacred sym5ol. No other vegetable has created as many interesting legends or interesting dishes. As a seasoning, onion is second only to salt in soups, sauces, meats, casseroles, and salads. Served as a vegetable in its own right, the onion may be baked or boiled, and is delicious with sour cream, butter, lemon, juice or a variety of cream sauces such as tomato, cheese or mushroom. For cooking use the Ontario early globe or yellow cooking onion. They are both highly flavored, good all- purpose onions. The flavor can be subdued by sauteing the onions before they are added to a casserole; if they are to be used for a ve- getable dish, boil them in an uncovered sauce- pan in enough salted water to cover. The home economists at the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture and Food say that the longer the onions are boiled, the milder they taste. For raw onions in a sandwich, choose the mild flavored Ontario Spanish, which can be geUow, red, white or own. Use the red Scenic Drive Needed Say Traffic Experts Reeve John Williams told a committee of Pickering Twp. Coun- cil on Monday that he has been told that if a scenic road is not built around French- man's Bay, Liverpool Road will become overloaded with traf- fic. Councillor Ron Chat- ter, said he hoped that more than one location of the proposed scenic drive eastwards from Lawrence Ave. would be considered before a final decision is made. "A road at the beach area bothers me" de- clares Councillor Vic Rudik. He said that the 1967 suggestions are re ally not valid today and as- ked if the road was really necessary. "I want technical in- put before we decide" Mr. Rudik added. Reeve Williams felt that the road might cut off a lot of homes at the beach. A meeting with the Conservation Autho- rity and Project Plan- ning Associates is to be sought.

July 29th, 1971 WEST ROUGE NEWS by Kay Brooks WEST ROUGE REGATTA In the scramble to report the basic facts con- cerning the West Rouge Canoe Club's annual Regatta last weekend, several important items were omitted. First of all, congratulations to the Commo- dore, Atis Bredovskis, and his charming wife, Astrida, who not only have all the responsi- bility of an event such as this, but do much more behind the scenes. Atis, in impeccable white, was the perfect host at the beach, gree- ting all visiting club members, officials, mem- bers of the Press, and everyone else from the tallest Y.I.P. to the tiniest paddler. Follow- ing the Regatta, a Commodore s Reception was held at the Bredovskis home on Rouge Hills Dr., where Astrida, cool and lovely in a tur- goise pant suit, was a most gracious hostess. Officials at the Regatta included Lloyd Rice, the Starter; Referees, Jack Watt and Gord Parnell; Chief Judge, Bill Dinsmore, who was assisted by Ted Doyle, Vic Jarvis, Gord Lee, Bob Smith and Win Tassell. Scoring was handled by Mrs. Chris. Richmond, and Whipper -In was Doug McClelland. All announcing was done by Don Chambers, with Al Valle- handling the sound. Trophies were supplied by P.M.A. Realty Ltd. who donated the Burgee Trophy for Aggregate Points; Standard Auto Glass Ltd., who donated the Senior C-2 Trophy; and Manhattan Tro- phies Ltd., the Bantam C-4 Trophy. In addi- tion, most of the business firms in West Rouge Plaza, and other areas in the district gave much appreciated support to the W.R.C.C. Regatta. Somehow believe it or not - we neglected to say "Congratulations" to the winners of the "Miss West Rouge" Contest. Well, said it, yes - but didn't write it. So -- congratulations Nancy, Susan and Valda! And better luck next year to the other lovelies. It could be your turn. WEDDING BELLS Best Wishes for much happiness to Pamela Brett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Brett, Kingston Rd., and Phillip Montgomery, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Montgomery, Rouge Hills Dr., whose marriage will take place on July 31st at Dunbarton United Church. LACROSSE In regular Southern Ontario Lakeshore League games, the Ajax Suzefits Pee Wee All Stars continue to play excellent lacrosse. They recently defeated Scarborough 13 to 6, with three goals each being scored by Billy Carroll and Mike Norton; two each by Henry Kriete and Tommy Wailes; and singles going to Scott Ewing, Kelly Mitchell and Dave Spada - fore. Kelly Mitchell also had four assists, while goalkeeper Bob Castagne, along with Scott Ewing, !dike Norton, Ward Palmer, Rick Shep- pard and Tommy Wailes each had singles. Dwayne Frattura played an especially fine game, setting up scoring opportunities for his team- mates. Scoring for Scarborough were Bob Napier and Mike Walker with two each; and Bob McDon- ald and Tim Rimeard with singles. Later in the week, the Nee Wee A's defeated Whitby Garrard Rd. 11 to 4. Goals in this game were scored by Kelly Mitchell with three, and and Billy Carroll and Dave Spadafore with two each. Whitby scorers were John Jordan with three, and Mike Watson with a single. VISITORS Visiting Canada after an absence of several years are Mr. and Mrs. H. Jones (Joey and Bert), former Rouge Hill residents, who now live in Richmond, California. While here they attended a family reunion held at the home of Bert's sister and brother-in-law, Dolly and Art Skidmore, Highbush Trial. They will also spend some time visiting relatives on both sides of the family in the Toronto district, and at Buckhorn Lake where Joey's sister and brother-in-law Anne and Jack George have their summer home.

TOP STUDENTS A round of applause for two more of our local students who have qualified for the Fe- deral Government's Grants -in -Aid Awards. These awards are made to outstanding young people who wish to continue their education, but find it difficult - or impossible - to raise their own funds due to the demands on their time for training and competition. Brian J. Hobbs of Pickering received his award for Canoeing; and Alexander Rogatinsky of Ajax for Judo. VACATIONERS Marie and Wimpy Haight and family have re- turned from a delightful holiday trip. They motored to Nova Scotia and enjoyed visiting with Marie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Comeau and Wimpy's only sister, Mrs. Wm. Walker in the lovely Digby area. NEW STORE Every good wish for success to Steve Starvo of Knob Hill Farms who will open a new Food Terminal on Highway No. 2 at Guild Road on Aug. 4th. This new business will be housed in what was formerly a run-down building, unused for some time, and has now been remodelled into a clean, bright, well-planned shopping area. Mr. Starvo used to come from Toronto to fish in Frechman's Bay as a boy, and always had a dream ot some day having a business out this way. Along with the realization of his dream, Mr. Starvo brings to Pickering valuable knowledge of marketing and cutting costs, and it is predictable that he will be welcomed by hordes of shoppers with open arms! P.C.

MORE VISITORS Pat and Fred Stacey and family are still en- joying one of their favourite pastimes - en- tertaining visitors from far -away places. Recent guests at the Stacey home were "The Oriental Express" - a musical group consis- ting of one girl and four young men from Hong Kong, Japan, the Phillipines and Taiwan, who have been appearing in various night spots around Toronto. Following an engagement in Kingston, the group plans to return to this area, and the Stacey's are looking forward to seeing them again.

Welcome to Pickering and much happiness to Rudy Schade and his son, Dietmar, who will open "The Caballero" -- a Steak House, on Dilling- ham Road, opposite the Don Beer Arena, about Aug. 1st. "The Caballero" will specialize in steaks of course, but there will be other goodies avail- able, like roast beef, shrimp cocktails, special salads, and - Yipes, are you drooling already? With a charming Spanish atmosphere, this new addition to our Township sounds like a wonderful place for family dinners, business luncheons and children's birthday celebra- tions, as there will also be a special menu for the very young people. Do you get the feeling that life in Pickering is getting more exciting? Report From Queen's Park by Wm. Newman, M.P.P. Ontario South NEW ASSISTANCE IN DAY CARE FIELD An amendment to The Day Nurseries Act will allow the Province to share with munici- palities the cost of buying or building pre- mises where the day care nursery occupies all or part of the building. In the past, Ontario has provided an 80TO grant to municipalities which renovate existing build- ings to make them suitable as day care centres. Under the amendment capital grants of upto 50% of erection costs of a new building or the pur- chase or acquisition of an existing building are available to municipalities or Indian bands. This capital grant provision will be in ad- dition to the existing renovation grant provi- sion. Another amendment will provide provincial subsidies to family home day care involving a person looking after five or fewer children, • under ten years of age in a private home. Mu- nicipalities will be eligible for an 80% sub- sidy for their costs in using such private home or family care as they are now with public or private nurseries. This amendment will encourage municipali- ties to provide day care in a private home for families who cannot pay the full cost of such a service. LOWER DENTURE PRICES Health Minister Bert Lawrence says he has begun discussions with Ontario dentists to seek a reduction in the high cost of dentures so that people of modest income can afford dentures. The talks are expected to take about six months. Mr. Lawrence said the average price of dentures is now about $275, but some cost as much as $500 or $600. He hopes the cost might be cut to less than $200. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES EXPAN- DED FOR RETARDED CHILDREN. Legislation has been introduced to standar- dize the school attendance of trainable re- tarded children with that of other students in the Ontario school system. Up to the present time trainable retarded children under ten years of age could attend school for half days only, and all such students had to leave the system at 18 years of age. Under the new legislation these children will be able to attend school full time from the age of five to twenty-one, depend only upon their capability to profit from the school experience.

Black Creek printer Jack McBride will ex- plain to visitors the philosophy of the early printers and their desire for a free press, as well as newspapers which told the whole truth - sometimes regardless of the consequences which were bound to ensue. Black Creek Pioneer Village is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. in northwest Metro Toronto and is administered by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority. Local village prin- ters such as those rep- resented by the Black Creek Printing Office played an improtant part in shaping the development and cul- ture of this province and country. The printing office is now in a portion of the Kettleby Temperance Hall, which was moved to the Village in 1967 and which was origi- nally built about 1855 For many years, the Hall served as the lo- cation of almost all community meetings, including social, re- ligious and political gatherings. The office is equipped with an early Hoe cy- woop,60, linder press which was donated to the Village by W.B. Murkar, for- mer publisher of the Pickering News, and two Washington flat bed presses. The Hoe press was originally owned by the British Whig news- paper founded in Kingston in 1849, and was later used at the Whitby Gazette and the Pickering News. It has the capacity to print 1.20 newspaper sheets per hour, as compared to a maxi- mum of 100 sheets per hour for the Washing- ton presses. Printing; was intro- ducec into Upper Ca- nada as an ":nstrument of gov,::ninenc shortly after the province was formed in 1791. At that time, a few thousand settlers were breaking ground on the river and lake shore between Montreal and Detroit along the edge of a seemingly imprene- trable forest which stretched north and west. By the 1820's, the southern part of the province was fairly well settled, and printers were operating their own shops in several towns. N e w spapers multiplied, and maga- zines and books which had usually been im- ported from Europe began to be printed here. The Black Creek Printing shop was re- cently made an honor- ary member of the 147 -member Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association. This as- sociation ; rovides se - neral services to its member papers inclu- ding the organization of educational semi- nars on such topics as advertising, editorial, and management oper- ations, as well as ser- ving as a consultant on such things as plant operations and setup. It also has an exten- sive group buying pro- gram under which it purchases supplies in bulk for its members. Not Interested In Trade Pickering Twp.

Davis Public School in West Rouge wants to give 5.9 acres of land for parks if Pickering would let the company buy 8.24 acres of in- dustrial land on Bailey St. Murray Goldman wrote a letter to Coun- Basic Fertilizer Recipe Ever wondered what the numbers on a fer- tilizer bag are all about? There is usually a series of three num- bers. The first gives the percentage of nit- rogen in the mix. The second number, the percentage of phos- phate, and the last, the percentage of potash. These three basic in- gredients each have a special function, vital to the health and growth of your lawn. Nitrogen feeds leaves and beneficial soil bacteria, and speeds growth. Phosphate stimulates rootgrowth and speeds maturity. And potash keeps the lawn healthy by in- creasing food produc- tion and disease re- sistance. These ingredients are mixed in various proportions depending on the purpose for which they are de- sired. For instance, "Evergreen 6-9-6" has an extra amount of phosphate - the in- gredient needed by young grass to develop strong roots and has- ten maturity. That's why it's recommended for new lawns, or those which have gone without fertilizer for some time. On the other hand, "Golfgreen 12-4-8", contains an extra amount of nitrogen, and less phosphate. The nitrogen imparts a rich dark green color to well - established lawns, and makes the grass grow faster. So, there's really no magic to the numbers. But knowing some of the science behind the basic fertilizer recipe will help you to choose the right fertilizer for your lawn's par- ticular needs .. and achieve magical re- sults! cil on behalf of the de- veloper offering to build houses over $30,000 in order that they would not be a burden to the tax- payers. Industrial Commis- sioner Carr advised Council not to unload its developed indus- trial land in this deal. Reeve John Williams said "we can't trade industrial lands all over the township to get parks." Council said it "was not interested" in this deal, but will ad- vise J. F. M. Develop - mens to -submit aplan of subdivision. Society Meeting The next general meeting of the Pic- kering Twp. Historical Society will be held on Thurs. July 29th at 7:30 p.m. It will be held in the Museum at Brougham and it has been called to plan "History In Action". Everyone is wel- come, so come and bring a friend. Federation Meetings Open? Pickering Twp. Council, wants to see the fe- deration of ratepayers' associations' meetings open. Councillor Ron Chatten asked at a township council committee meeting this week if citizens are going to be able to participate -- that is -- are the meetings going to be open to the public? Councillor Vic Rudik expressed his opinion that they should be open. "How does an average citizen learn about when and where the meetings are held?" queried Mr. Chatten. The debate came up as Dunbarton Shores Rate- payers Association complained to Council that it was not consulted about a recent appointment made to the federation. Mr. Chatten said Mr. Hughes of the associa- tion was dismayed when he couldn't get an ans- wer from a letter he sent to the township clerk for information. Mr. Hughes said no consulta- tion was made with his group about the appoint- ment to represent Dunbarton. Councillor Rudik said the federation should be left open and not closed to this group. Councillor Chatten said the Dunbarton Shores group wanted to keep an independent position from the federation. Reeve John Williams felt that there should be a representative from each ratepayer's asso- ciation on the federation. Mr. Rudik said a communications mechanism should be set up to keep information flowing. The Council approved a motion to send a let- ter to the federation requesting that a member of the Dunbarton Shores Ratepayers' Associa- tion be appointed as a member. r Page 8 THE POST Thurs.

Several methods may be used to prevent or reduce browning. Covering fruit with a liquid, or packaging it in an airtight container helps to exclude air, thereby delaying browning.

Therefore, another method such as dip- ping the fruit in an acid like lemon or pine- apple juice, or using ascorbic acid, a brine or sugar syrup, or blanching is used. Again, none of these methods alone will prevent browning in- definitely. If the fruit is to be used quickly, for example, in a salad or pie, lemon juice would be sufficient to prevent discoloration. If the fruit is to be kept for a longer period, as in canning or freezing, two or more of these methods are combined, This is why apples are dipped into a brine and peaches are blanched before pack- ing in a sugar syrup, to which ascorbic acid tablets are added, when these fruits are prepared for freezing. This also explains why light-colored fruit cannot be successfully frozen in a dry sugar pack unless ascorbic acid is blended with the sugar. In other words, there is no single method which will effectively Plant Sprays Control Pests Most insects hatch and begin to feed on garden plants in the spring. It is important that these pests be destroyed before ir- reparable damage is done. A thorough garden cleanup will help to destroy some of the pests but chem Ical control will be re- quired for others. There are several chemical sprays or dusts which give good control. Sometimes a combination of dif- ferent types will be necessary. Most insects can be killed with either malathion or carbaryl (commonly called Se- vin). Malathion is very effective and destroys several types of in- sects. Sevin is safe and quite useful in the garden but is not very effective in controlling aphids or mice. It is also harmful to the prevent browning for an indefinite period. Instead, the home economists of the On- tario Department of Agriculture and Food suggest you combine two or more methods for best results. honeybee. Bothcheml- cals are relatively harmless to humans and animals but have a short residual effect and therefore must be applied more than once. The chemical Cygon is taken into the sap stream of the plant to control insects when they enter. Derris, also known as rotenone, is one of the best controllers of vegetable insects. Metaldehyde b a i t s are good if slugs be - are good if slugs become a problem Subterranean insects such as wireworms and cutworms can be controlled by chlor- dane applied to the soil. Multipurpose dusts containing both insec- ticides and fungicides are available. They are most effective in controlling a number of different insects and diseases. Systemic pesticides are now on the market and have the advantage Of long residual con- trol. However, they are very toxic and must be used accor- ding to all recommen- ded precautions. Most garden supply centers have a wide selection of pesti- cides for home use. But always remember read the label first and follow the direc- tions carefully. 2,025 Forest Fires The Canadian Fores- try Service recorded 2,025 forest fires a- cross Canada during the month of June. This was 131 more fires than during the same period last year and considerably high- er than the 10 -year average of 1,504 for the month of June. To- tal forest area affected in June was 876,000 acres, well below the 10 -year average of 1,052,000 acres for June. The total number of forest fires in Canada this year to June 30 was 4,449 over a total area of 1,056,000 acres. KEEP IM THE SWIM WITH WATER SAFETY-
