March 9th, 1967: - "Developer eve o e. 40Assessment sa A group of developers wanting to erect 56 odd homes in Pickering Township have agreed to • undertake 401jo industrial in order to get their plans approved. Reeve Laycox suggested putting - it in the hands of the Township solicitor for perusal.' Centennial Citizens Councillor Williams challenged the Reeve at this point, asking "Is it going to be the future policy of this Council, as dictated i)y you, to bring before a pu lic meeting any plans of sub- ► divisions or industrial development? """"""""""""'••••••••••••••••• '�=�'= Replying, the Reeve said "I have been criti- cized riti- c d continual yforingthin s for the good 4 of the township and in order to overcome some I • of this criticism everything I do from here on r ~ :. 1 1 in will be made public. It is not policy, but to order to avoid any further questions of my character in this Township I am going to make . `.>•• public most of what I do. 1 will divulge the fact we are working on certain things". Williams: "Seeing as you have a platform here, I am going to present a small platform myself. With respect to the plans that you have there on Highway No. 2 at Liverpool Road, we considered the offer which was an offer of $32.500 for 5 acres of land and there were Conditions in that offer which stated that the adjoining 15 lit acres must be rezoned for multiple family high- rise apartments. There was another clause which stated that the township must agree to prohibit the construction of any other shopping plaza withing a 2,000 yard radius of that site. You made the statement that this particular develop- ment would double the assessment of the Town- ship. Mr. Reeve with all due respect this is utter nonsense.' ' Mr. Williams went on to explain that 15 1; 2 acres of highrise apartments would contain 1,170 units. Mr. Williams estimated that the highrise y and the commercial assessment would probably �... amount to about 54,710.000 which would give a borrowiwg pow r of $1,177,500. 1,170 apart- ments, using a figure of approximately 1 to 1 1 2 school children per suite would require a 28 classroom school. A 28 room school would cost " the Township a debenture of $1,120,000, plus the site for the school of $60,000 -- a total of $1,- = 180.000 -- more than the borrowing power. __� ��■* After some further remarks thrown back and forth between the R eeve a nd C ounc illor Williams, . � Deputy Reeve McPherson angrily ended the dis- cussion stating: "We have had enough publicity. if you have beefs, let's air them in the back room.

General Vanier was the ideal Canadian, bi- lingual, dedicated to his family, his coun- try and his God. As Canada flounders about looking for someone or something to lead us down the laneway to clean-cut nationhood, it is well to heed the late Gover- nor -General's most important statement. Upon his first mes- sage to Parliament he concluded by saying" I ask only to serve". Perhaps this is the key to petty differ- ences which appear to keep Canadians di- vided. It would be a step for- ward to our youth if the life and messages of Georges P. Vanier were firmly trans- mitted to them while in the important years of learning at school. A fitting tributetothe memory of Georges Vanier would be a united Canada. RADIO CONTROLLED CABS 24 HOUR SERVICE CONTRACT RATES FAST.

It is hard to say if she lived to be very old because whe was a walker, a hiker, but the fact is that circa 1926 she did a great deal of walking in all kinds of weather, which would have been in accordance with the advice of the doctors of this day. They say that walking is the best possible exercise. (It Is also the cheapest.) No matter what the weather, snow or wind or anything else that contributed to the dis- comfort of people, Miss Rainsford could be seen walking up or down the river front and the winds down the lake were something to be borne with fortitude. She was always sure to be out of an afternoon calling on her friends, perhaps at the rectory or at 'some other re- spectable home within the boundaries of the village. It is impossible to say at this date whether or not Miss Henrietta had rosy cheeks. She was ahead of her time and always had a generous application of whatever it is that women put on their cheeks to make them look rosy no matter what is underneath the rosiness. A local editor once got in the bad books of Conservation Will Cost X1.01 Each Conservation will cost each of the 2,028,545 people who live in the 1000 square mile Metro Toronto and region area $1.07 this year. This con- servation tax levy will be divided into two sections --the general budget and flood con- trol. Under the general oudget, funds are used for the development of the conservation areas, including the Mack Creek Pioneer Village at Jane St., and Sceeles Ave. Tax levy for this general con- servation fund am- ounts to about 43 1/20 with the balance of 640 being spent on the long term program which involves the purchase of flood plain lands, construction of dams and reservoirs and channel improvements to rivers and streams. During the past few years, 11 fully de- veloped conservation areas have been esta- blished and a good start made on the flood control plan. The un- ique pre - Confedera- tion community iswell on its way and a fish hatchery has been built. The reforesta- tion program has al- ready been respon- sible for the planting of 4,000,000 trees on Authority lands and private farms. It has also provided adults and children with edu- cational facts to make them aware of the im- portance of conserva- tion. iff8wiff 40IN Ampx assellift9 aF a STOVES anikV80-al •WASHERS 13319 1tARWr)OD AVENUF NORTH, AJAX • DRYERS 942-3321 •SMALL APPLIANCES Large or small - we repair them all ------------------------------------------------ Miss Henrietta. It seems that someone dug out an old, old school report for the year 1845. That school report recorded the fact that a girl named Rainsford, Henrietta's sister, was in the second or third form. The publishing of this historic fact displeased the extant Rainsford because, as she said, everyone knew that she, the one who was living, was older than the, young girl who had died. Historic fact or not, the surviving Miss Rainsford objected strenuously to having it known that she was around in the Eighteen Forties when this was the Nineteen Twenties. Another believer in the virtues or merits of rigorous weather was the local doctor. He never went to Florida to escape the wintry blasts of Canada. He said that this Canada had a bad climate but that the climate was good for us. This is a thought to remember in the Cen- tennial Year 1967. It is also a fact that there were no school buses. The children walked to school unless they "chanced it" and got a ride on a bobsled. There were bobsleds in those days and nothing to pro- tect the riders. except straw in which to put the feet.

It has required their co - op- eration and the co - operation of my hus- band to make it pos- sible. Over the past couple of months I had to do a little decision making. The paper must grow to enable it to sur- vive in the rapidly growing area in which we live, and this of course would involve an even greater com- mitment on mr part, and the part of my family. With the growth of the paper in mind, therefore, I decided to try to find someone who could still give you a "community" paper and had the fa- cilities available to expand and produce a well laid out and en- joyable paper. I feel I have found such peo- ple in Can -Tech and I trust you will con- tinue to give them the support you have kindly given me in the past.

Lomb Broth Is A Hearty Meal Noram Morris, Home Economist for the New Zealand Lamb information Centre tells us that lamb broth coupled with a bright salad and cra- ckers makes a complete meal. When making her broth, she found that 1 1/2 pounds of stewing lamb produced two full cups of lean meat, giving the broth an added measure of nutritious heartiness. The recipe calls for 2 tbsp. pot barley, 1 1/2 lbs. stewing lamb, 2 1/2 cups water, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. each pepper, sweet basil and thyme, 1 clove crushed garlic, -1 medium size onion chopped 1/3 chopped cel- ery and leaves, 1/3 cup chopped carrots, 1/4 cup chopped turnip and 1/3 cup chopped potato, 2 cups tomato juice and 3 tbsp. chopped parsley. Soak the barley in water for several hours. Brown lamb in a little hot fat, drain fat and add water, seasonings and garlic. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove meat, chill broth, cut away and discard bones and fat and cut the lean meat in small pieces. Refrigerate and then scrape fat from chilled broth. Combine barley, broti7, meat and remaining ingrdients. Cover and simmer for 4� minutes or until barley and vegetables are tender. Makes about 8 servings.

President's Message Will our taxes increase this year? By the time you read this report our mill rate may well be struck. The present indications are that the rate in the southern part of the Township - all of School Area #2 -will increase by a sub- stantial margin over 1966. In addition to this the County is reassessing all of the homes in our area, and within the next two years some residents will note an increase in their assess- ments -meaning yet another rise in the taxes to be paid. For most of us it is a difficult struggle to absorb these increases, and we become anta- gonistic if we feel we are not receiving value fur our money. The executive of your association challenges if we are receiving value in two vital areas - Township administration and forward planning. These two areas hold the key to the future of our Township and the failure in them today will likely reflect in administrative waste and un- necessary expenditures in the future. His depressing to see Council doing nothing about these matters. Industrial Assessment Ratio A recognized way to stabilize residential tax increases is to have a good ratio of industrial assessment in a municipality. The residential industrial assessment ratio in Pickering is approximately 90/10 whereas in Ajax the ratio is 50/50. During November 1966 our Association attemp- ted to take the first positive step towards cor- recting the unrealistically high proportion of residential assessment in this Township. We conducted extensive research into the Town- ships surrounding Metro. We consulted with Provincial Government Departments and Agen- cies and we even went as far as researching such recognized business journals as the Har- vard Business Review. Our findings indicated that Pickering should immediately Legislate on its books a mandatory requirement that no further residential de- velopment be permitted unless the developer agreed to bring with his residential develop- ment a 40,,, ratio of industrial assessment. A 60 40 ratio was a must. We contacted every ratepayer group in the southern part of the Township, representing East Rouge, Rosebank. Fairport Beach. Bay Ridges and West shore. All signed our brief to Council and all were firm in their demand fur a resolution to be put of the books of Pickering. On November 21st 1966 we presented Council with the brief. Council listened and the Reeve indicated we would receive a reply in a week. No reply came_ On November 30th at the special public meeting of our Association held in the West Rouge Public School, attended by over 300 members, Reeve Laycox indicated that he had always been in favour of a 60/40 ratio and he stated that a resolution calling for this ratio was already on our books. He also said "Not ever would Council accept less than a 60/40 ratio .split from a developer." On December 9th we indicated to Council we were very pleased to learn that we al- ready had a resolution in Pickering along the lines we were suggesting to our shock. Reeve Laycose then indicated he had been in error for apparently when he checked the records he could not find the resolution he had m--n- tioned to our 300 members. Councillor Chat - ten, seconded by Councillor Williams then moved resolution calling for a 60/40 ratio but the re- solution was defeated -Reeve Laycox, Deputy Reeve McPherson and the remaining Councillors voted against it. In a final attempt to salvage this needed legislation, at the next Council meeting, we handed to each member a wording for a suggested resolution -a wording devoid of any, political implications and seeking only to establish a 60/40 ratio. Reeve Laycox stat- ed the matter would be discussed in Committee that evening and we would be informed of the results. As of this date we have heard nothing. Comment: In the election platform of Councillors Chatten and Williams and Reeve Laycox in 1965 they all refused to the need for an adequate industrial ratio. Councillors Chatten and Williams still appear to feel this need, but it seems the posi- tion of the Reeve vague. We respect the fact he may have good reason for altering an election promise. But there is one thing that we cannot understand. To say one thing in front of a general meeting of 300 people, and then one week later vote against his own remarks -this is in- consistent. To listen to a united plea by all of the major ratepayer groups, to promise a reply and then do nothing is in our judgement irresponsible. Daytime Council Meetings - Their Problem Pickering Township is not rich or large enough to afford or need full time Political appointees. Elective office is a part time job, and it will likely remain this way for some time. An efficient Township administration can very eas- ily handle all the day to day problems, and there is no reason why decision making cannot be dealt with by Council of an evening. When our Township was rural and Politicians were l• arm - ers it mattered little if meetings were held during the day, or during the evening. With urban development this has changed. Urban Councillors work during the day and it is a hardship on them to attempt daytime meetings. Two daytime Council meetings were held in December 1966 and our information was that two urban Councillors were never informed of these Council meetings. Between them these two Councillors represented over half of the people of Township. When we inquired about the daytime meetings we were told that they had been "emergency meetings, essential to the public interest. To bring the matter into the open we pro- tested these meetings to Councii on January 12th. As was reported in the local press Councillors Chatten & Williams strongly denied they had ever been informed of the meetings and they objected vigorously to them. Coun- cillor Williams acqused the Reeve of not being truthful. We now understand Council intends passing a procedural by-law which, among other things, will ensure that this type of misunderstanding does not occur again. Comment: Our main concern was not these particular meetings, but the precedent they created if they went unchallenged. It's interesting to note that one of the "emer- gencies" was the sale for $50.00 of an ice box! Ward Redivision Your President appeared as a witmess against the proposed redivision of wards. The Ontario Municipal Board ruled in favour of the re - division and they based their findings on the fact that the redivision satisfied an equaliza- tion of population in the wards created. To the argument that redivision did not allow for population increase based on developments already approved, the Board stated that if nec- essary redivision would have to be undertaken again. We expect we will be into this problem in another 18 months. Comment: The new redivision which takes effect at elec- tion time this year is an obvious attempt to seat as many rural Councillors as possible -despite the fact that over 80jo of all population in Pickering Township is urban. In the last election in 1965 only 28% of all ratepayers voted and if just 1097, more of the urban voters - being 38% -cast their ballot in December 1967 It's doubtful if more than one rural Councillor would be elected. The urban areas have the voting power. All we have to do is use it. Water Problems The Ontario Municipal Board threw out the application by the Township to extend the water area and construct a reservoir in the Vacinity of Rosebank. This was due largely to inade- quate and incorrect opinions being expressed by certain Township employees as well. as opposition from some residents. To West Rouge residents it means we will continue to suffer from the water problems of the past, for now there is no date for any relief in sight. One solution might be to attempt to buy water from Scarborough, another might be to see to altering the official plan for Pickering. there are perhaps other alternatives and we are watching to see which one Council will choose. We intend to maintain pressure on the situation to see that something is done. Comment: Many of our members have asked why we do not campaign to seperate from Pickering Town- ship and join with Scarborough. The answer is simple. Several years ago some active re- sidents tried this but Scarborough was not very anxious to have us, and Pickering Township re- fused to let us go because of their great need for our assessment. Our information is that any new attempt at seperation would also be turned down. Golf Courses - Progress Report We are informed it will likely be operated as a Golf Course int1967 with development to begin in 1968. Meantime there has been little activity -except on the part of some residents. A group of rate- payers on the East side of Ridgewood Road have taken up a petition against the proposed subdivision. The petition has approximately 30 names to it and the problem being protest- ed is local in nature. Residents on the West side of Ridgewood Road are presently considering organizing a much larger petition against the entire de- velopment and the high rise apartments in particular. Conservation - Ferguson's Beach Rouge River We have presented Council with a request that the proposed development plans for the Rouge River area be forwarded to us when Council receives them from the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. A Committee has been formed and it has already come up with an alternative plan to that proposed by the Authority -a plan which will suggest that the lower :rouge River system be preserved much in its present form. As soon as we receive the proposed Authority plan from Council a petition will be circulated to residents on both sides of the Rouge River to gain their support for the alternative plan suggested by the Committee. In the meantime the following highlights from the remarks by the Authority to the 150 re- sidents at our Conservation meeting deserve repeating: --The Authority does not yet have expropria- tion power in the lower Rouge River area. - It is purchasing property only as it becomes available on the open market. --Any person who represents the Authority must carry an identification card. --The price paid fur land to one owner does not set precedent against another owner. --The Authority is willing to co-operate with residents regarding the correction offences. --If an owner disagrees with the price offered for his land he can appeal to the Board of Authority. --The Authority is actively attempting to have Metro Parks take over the lower Rouge River area. --Ferguson's Beach in 1967 will have $28,100. spent on it to clean it up. For the present it is intended that it will only be large enough "ACTION REPORT" Cont'd. on page 5 "You're Getting Me Off The Hook" Mr. John Kruger, phone conversation, powered" as he the telephone.

Pickering Twp. School Area #2 COMMUNITY USE OF SCHOOLS .. It is the policy of the Board that the schools should be used as extensively as possible by students and by members of the community at times when normal instructional periods are not in pro- gress. All of our schools, especially incases where auditoria and gymnasia are available, are used for a variety of community purposes from Home and School functions, ratepayers meetings, to Keep -fit classes, and of course, evening classes for adult students. Inquiries for use of school facilities should be directed to the Business Administrator, 284-4751. BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY - 1966 The actual physical expansion of Area No. 2 In the past year which is outlined below is somewhat indicative of the rapid expansion which is taking place in the Area. Vaughan Willard School -- a general purpose room and new entrance officially opened. Fairport Beach School -- addition of 8 class- rooms, new entrance, additional washroom accommodation, new boiler and boiler room, new offices, completed by October 1966.

LONG-RANGE PROJECTS UNDER CONSIDERATION Addition to Bay Road School to accommodate expected enrolment from highrise development in area. The addition of general purpose rooms to schools presently without such facilities is a continuing policy of the Board. The Board also has under consideration the provision of new administration facilties for the Area. At pre- sent the Business and Academic staff is accom- modated in two different locations. Other addi- tional facilities are either now required or may be required in the near future. The Board will build such facilities when need is pressing with a careful eye to the costs. However, the Board must consider when building physical plant that use is intended for many years and wise spending initially frequently avoids un- necessary expense later on. For example, all new schools are equipped initially with ser- vice facilities for power, heat, and light, enough for the maximum size of school to be built on the site. Thurs. March 9th, 1967 THE REPORTER ;60 Million Project Comes Up Again Reeve Laycox attempted to bring the proposed plan of development for Highway No. 2, just east of Liverpool Road, before Council again on Monday evening. He explained that he and the Industrial Com- missioner tried to adhere to the law of the In- dustrial Book at all times and at all times these matters are kept in strict confidence. At the time the plans were put before Com- mittee of the whole council the Reeve had been absent in Ottawa and, he explained "much to my regret when I got home I found a resolution having absolutely nothing to do with the Offer". Reeve Laycox stated he felt it should have been given more consideration and he had been angered to find that something that had taken man, weeks to work on had been dispensed with in three minutes. He stated he would re -introduce the plan at some future date with the developer in attendance during a public meeting. Reeve Laycox went on to explain that the project was a ten year project, the first phase to include an 82,000 sq. ft. commercial centre. This would be an enclosed mall type plaza. The balance of the land, 15 1/2 acres, would be re -zoned for future use as highrise multiple family dwellings of a high calibre -- this in view of :he fact that the Go Transit commuter station would be within a few hundred yards of the site. The Reeve unrolled a set of drawings of the plaza and the highrise development for the bene- fit of council, the press and the gallery.

Sometimes We Win There exists in the Township a 66' wide Town- ship owned strip of land, a road allowance, which is used by Dunbarton High School and which will also service a proposed senior school in the Public School Area #2. Public road construction is a total Township matter and the taxes from both the rural and urban areas pay for the construction. Against this background on the 13th of January the Deputy Reeve Mrs. McPherson seconded by Councillor Waller moved resolution #45/67 to attempt to transfer out of the Road Budget the cost of paving this 66' road allowance. The cost would then have fallen on the school boards (High School and Area #2) with the re- sult that most of the cost would have been paid directly out of the taxes of the southern urban ratepayer. In the course of the debate Coun- ciller Waller changed his vote and the resolu- tion was lost with only the rural orientated Councillors Spang & Beu and the rural orientated Deputy Reeve voting for the resolution. This matter was then debated in Committee and on February 27th it came up again in Council. In a very clearly worded resolution #56/67 this road allowance was allocated to the Roads Budget where it belonged. The same voting block existed again and the resolution was carried -the Deputy 5 Reeve ar;d Councillors Spang and Beu voting against. Comment: The Reeve and the Councillors who voted for the last resolution #56/67 are to be compliment- ed on the rather direct and incisive waythey voted. Clearly, any other vote would have been unfair to the southern urban_ ratepayer. Neat Special Meeting As soon as we know the 1967 mill rate and have had a chance to analyse its impact a special meeting of all members will be called. Council Meetings Generally speaking Council meetings are held every Monday evening at 8 p.m. The meetings are open to the Public and any resident can sit in the public gallery and listen. It is to your advantage to listen to these meetings - why not attend? The Municipal Building is at the corner of Highway #2 and Brock road. Page 6 THE REPORTER Thurs. March 9th, 1967 sports Bay Ridges Softball The 1967 executive held their first meeting last week and already plans are underway for the coming ball season. One thing for sure, if the ball season isn't too far away, then des- pite recent weather, Spring has got to be just around the corner. At the meeting, two ap- pointments were made to the executive to fill positions vacant since the elections several weeks ago. The following is a list of officers for 1967, their positions and phone numbers. Please retain this list for future reference as it is unlikely they will be published again. President - Dan Rooney - 839-1792; Vice - President - Reg Lowry - 839-2511; Secre- tary - George Zeller - 839-2024; Treasurer - Ron Ramsay - 839-3802; Registrar - Mary Roberts - 839-3556; Chief Coach - George Alsop; Public Relations - Norm Cramp - 839-4057. Plans are presently being cmpleted for re- gistration of players. The initial registration date. time and place will be announced within the next week. The Softball Association provides an opportunity for recreation tc, over 350 girls and boys in our area within the ages of 7 to 19. Due to the number of players involved, a great deal of organization must be completed between now and the opening of the season. To assist the Association, it is important that re- gistration be completed as soon as possible. It would, therefore, be extremely helpful if all interested players would register early. A Coaches and Managers Meeting, to take place at the home of George Alsop, 882 Modlin on March 12, 1967 at 2 p.m., has already been announced. Everyone who toot part last year has been invited to attend and anyone else in- terested in this type of work would be most welcome. A great deal of time and work is involved in operating an Association that provides so many girls and boys with this opportunity for recrea- tion, and as always, the support and co- opera- tion of residents and merchants is very m.Ach needed and greatly appreciated.

Pickering Council In Brief As soon as the School Budget has been set for 1967 a further re- solution will be intro- duced for the transfer of grants to School Area No.2. Letter From Centennial Commission Reeve Laycox re- ceived a letter from Mr. John Fisher, Commissioner of Cen- tennial Commission, stating tht he had been advised of the enthusiasm within Pickering Township for centennial cele- brations. He parti- cularly stressed the Centennial Tea re - Gently organized by the Pickering -Rouge Hill Lions Club. Mr. Fish- er congratulated the leaders of centennial programs and convey- ed appreciation to the Historical Society and Service Clubs for their enthusiasm. Building Permit Requested Mr. J. Edward Eberle, representing Messrs. Dean and Mc- Carten, owners of Lots 12 and 12, Plan 233, Rosebank, applied to Council on Monday evening for a building permit to build a 2,100 sq.ft. home. Be- cause of the nature of Bylaw restrictions for building in the Rose - bank area the Building Inspector had declined the request. Mr. Eberle was not given any answer on Monday but Council will make a site inspection and give this application further consideration. Mrs. Brown Objects On February 27th Mrs. A. L. Brown handed a brief to all members of Coun- cil Meeting which was convened on February 18th. She was unable to get on the Agenda on the 27ih and there- fore her name was placed on the March 6th Agenda. On Mon- day, March 6th, Mr. Faulkner was asked to reply to her questions but he was unable to do so. Reeve Laycox requested Mr. Faulk- ner to study Mrs. Brown's brief and pre- pare himself to ans- wer the queries next Monday. The com- plaint covered Bylaw 3252, amendment No. 4, to the official plan. Door To Door Delivery Mr. Boyd of the Fed- eral Postal Depart- ment has advised that door-to-door delivery in the area north of Highway 401, south of Concession 2, west of the Village of Pick- ering, will commence on March 20, 1967.

Your March Gardening' The Begonia has be- come very popular the last few years with most of us who have a little bit of shade. If you are ambitious you can start your own. It will give you a great deal of pleasure to see them bloom in your garden. Tuberous begonias are very easy to grow and therefore take very little effort. You can also start your cannas and they will bloom sooner for you next summer. They too, do not need light, but do require heat, until they have sprouted. It is a good idea to go through the seed catalogues and order now, for the new and rare varieties are sold out very quickly. Have you brought in a few branches of for- sythia yet? If not do so now, for it will give you a breath of spring in your home. The Spring Flower show at Allans Gar - Gardens will be open to the public soon also a display at City Hall. Take a tour of your garden now and look carefully at the trees. The rabbits have been nibbling and they may have had a meal or two off your trees. If so be prompt to cover the wound with a tree dressing. You can purchase the dressing in a spray can. A little bit of rabbit re- pellent will discourage the little animals. If your shrubs have been damaged by the ice or snow try to give them a little at- tention too. This is the time of the year to git that most important spray on your shrubs, ever- greens and fruit trees, ornamental and shade trees. The insects which have wintered over can be killed with a dor- mant spray. Green Cross has an excellent one on the market with mercury in it. This spray should be ap- plied before the leaves start to appear or the flower buds to swell. It is essential at this time of year for ap- ples and pears. If your fruit was de- formed last year, be sure to apply this now. Your neighbours may think that you are a little follish if they see you applying fertilizer to your lawns, but actually this is the best time of the year when the snow is still on the ground. As the snow malts, the fertilizer will sink into the roots where it is needed. When the warm weather comes the grass roots will have food and you will have the first green lawn on the street. This past week we were impressed with the many questions we received at the O'Keefe Centre Garden Club show on the planting of roses. The nurseryman feels they may i,e in short supply as everyone IVU/ U 1967 ENOTENNIALHN ISHER COMMISSIONER Dont underestimate the good effect the Centennial celebrations are going to have on Canada. The Centennial is coming just at the right time —a time when marry Canadians are begirming to feel they have too long been sub- jected to the crying of the beefers, the whiners and the knockers. You know the kind I mean — the ones who 'do nothing but wring their hands and predict that the country is about to come apart at the pro- vincW seams, that, alas, there is naught to do but woefully sit and watch the disintegratwo. The idea of Canada disinte- grating. I imagine, was merely a novelty of the mind thought up b the doom -criers as a publicity aid, but to use the language of the television age, it has been -over- exposed" It has been exhausted in the public prints and along the public sound waves to the point where most Canadians are yawn- ing. I think we are all eager and ready for a refreshing change. We want to consider the bright future for Canada which we know, down deep, to be probable as well as possible. During 1%7 we will hear and see plenty about the kind of Canada we picture for the future. Inst as an example, consider "sec- ond Century Week-, a gathering of l,loo students, from all across Canada, on the two campuses of the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary next March. Grants from the Alberta and federal governments are assisting the universities in this Centennial year project. It is the students in our society who often spark the action necessary to put new ideas in motion and the theme of their "Second Century Week- gathering is that the Centennial is a bridge to the future—a future involving opportunities so great that they are bound to overshadow the temporarily unsolved problems of Canada. Throughout 1967 events and words also will help refresh the original dream of a great Canada which the Fathers of Confedera- tion started on the way to reality when they met at Prince Edward Island 100 years ago. For ex- ample more books, poems, essays and plays on the story of Canada are being published than at any other time in the country's history. We estimate that several hundreds will find a place on the Canadian shelves. More than 100 are being produced with the help of Cen- tennial Commission grants alone. In addition commercial publishers, churches and other institutions are bringing out many more during Centennial. Through book, and plays the glamor, the drama and the excite- ment in the story of Canada, so often missing in history books, and so long neglected by the majority of publishers, will stir new pride in our country. More writers and publishers will be challenging the whole of our country to show it can live up to its potential great- ness in the 20th century. I believe the Centennial cele- brations will be for Canada what a good spring cleaning does for a house that's been too long closed up for the winter months. The year 1967 will be a time for a new, fresh outlook, a time when we open the doors and win- dows of our minds, let in the fresh air and clean out the cob- wet+s. A country with such a po- tential has no place for cobwebs. Hi Time Suspended The Tennage Hi Time Club that has been run and organized by the Holy Redeemer Parish on Sunday evenings has been suspended for four weeks. This was a unanimous decision reached by the Se- parate School Board because of continuing property damage and abuse of school facil- ities. Family Service Starting April 16th the mornin? service at St. Martin s Anglican Church, Bay Ridges, will be held at 11 a.m. instead of the regular 9:30 service. This will combine the church service with the Sunday School, making it suitable for all members of the family. These family services will be held every third Sunday in the month - seems to be making It a centennial pro- ject, myself included, to plant a rose bed for Canada's 100th birth- day. I suggest you order early, even from your local Nursery. You will be notified when they are ready for planting. The begonia has be- come very popular the last few years with most of us who have a little bit of shade. If you are ambitious you can start your own. It will give you a great deal of pleasure to see them bloom in your garden. M 118BfTLL IftnBll2f Bi YWa SUNDAY fCHM IOAO A.M. hm"ING WORWIF 11 AO A.M. fir )Am A.

"We have options on equipment to double the capacity of this plant and we expect to exercise these options before the expiry date in June.
