Parade Kicks -Off
United Appeal
.Campaign
V,
A huge parade last Sat. Oct. 2nd was the kick-off to Pickering Town-
ship's first United Appeal. On hand were the Chairman of the United Appeal
of Metro Toronto and Miss Metro United Appeal to present the Pickering
United Appeal with the official U.A. flag.
These individuals being present to present the
flag as a token of Pickering's first drive, was
the result of Metro's committment that $30,000
from their United Appeal would be channelled
back into the Township. This is for the number
of people who work in Metro and contribute
to the U.A. there.
U.A. co-chairman John Kruger reported to
Pickering Township Council on Monday night
about the Appeal. He briefly outlined the birth
of the Pickering U.A. He said the decision to
bring the United Appeal to f• ickering (it started
with the 1969 Council and was carried on by
1 the present Council) was based on three reasons:
- a lot of money was contributed by Pickering
residents who worked in Metro, and there was
no return of it to the Township;
- there were a multiplicity of canvasses by
various organizations throughout the year, which
could be limited down to one joint appeal;
_ - and there was a realization there were defin-
ite community services lacking in Pickering.
Mr. Kruger stressed these were not welfare
services, but services used and needed by
people in every walk of life. These services
.�-. are paid for in various ways, such as through
4 fees, whereever possible, and other arrange-
ments have to be made when some people can't
afford to pay for a service.
Canvassing is only one of five ways these
organizations raise money, said Mr. Kruger.
There is a charge for some services, such as

Questions Pool Cost
Anne Browa, of West
Rouge has written the
Ontario Municipal
Board opposing the
extra $40,000 in de-
bentures requested by
Pickering Township to
build the proposed
swimming pool.
Mrs. Brown says the
pool cost , land and
building, given in late
1968 were $350.000
raised by debenture
and a grant of $35.000
from the former
School Board. She says
she wants the pool to
be built, but questions
why the cost of the
pool is already
$450,000, and buying
land isn't necessary
because the Township
has leased the pool
site from the Ontario
County Board of Ed-
ucation for $1.
Also, she said, at last
week's Council meet-
ing there was no as-
surance by the pool
architect Thomas Bid -
dell that this was the
final cost.
In a letter to qtr.
Kennedy, Township
Clerk Doug Plitz said
the increase cost was
the result of the in-
crease in labor costs
over the past three
years. He said Coun-
cil wants to proceed
with the project and
work should begin on
the project before the
inclement weather.
Mrs. Brown alsosaid
she questions whether
the pool should be
Olympic -size because
"what chance have you
got teaching children

mum depth is 4 ft.

There will be a
hearing on the pool at
the OMB. No date has
been set as yet, but
it will probably be af-
ter Oct. 21st.

Opinion
Community Loss
Hundreds of Agincourt, Scarborough and other
local residents have suffered a severe loss
with the destruction by fire of the Tam O'Shan-
ter Golf and Country Club.
However Mr. Bill Sparkhall, owner of the land
and originator of the whole sports and recrea-
tion complex must have received the silent
applause of everyone when he announced that
he will re -build the Tam once again - and
immediately.
Activities at the Tam O'Shanter seem to
affect almost every family within miles. Adults
use the curling rink, go to banquets and dances
there and play golf. Thousands of youngsters
play hockey, learn to skate, learn the art of
hockey, curl and train for figure skating. In
the summer the outdoor swimming pool has
kept thousands a lot cooler.
Bill Spukhall developed a recreational com-
plex with private capital and showed that pub-
lic funds are not necessary to provide the
kind of facilities which people want.
In a few months perhaps happy youngsters
will again head to the Tam for a hockey game
But, in the meantime everyone feels the loss
of what the Tam had to offer.
Let's hope the Tam O'Shanter will rise again
and quickly!
Election Comment
by Bob Watson
We weren't able to watch or hear the big de-
bate on Monday night by Premier Wm. Davis,
Liberal leader Robert Nixon and New Democrat
Leader Stephen Lewis.
But those who listened and watched felt it was
a worthless operation as it didn't help any un-
committed voters to decide which way to vote.
Generalities in an election usually give the
impression that all three parties are great and
are really concerned about the same matters.
Review French
Education
Education Minister Robert Welch last week
appointed a one-man commission to review the
legislation which established French -language
secondary education under public boards of ed-
ucation.
Professor Thomas Symons, President of Trent
University, accepted the responsibilities of com-
missioner and has been asked by Mr. Welch to
report within three months.
As commissioner, Professor Symons will be
asked to make recommendations for the im-
provement and clarification of the legislation.
He will also receive briefs from school boards,
interested groups and the general public.
Mr. Welch said he reached his decision after
discussions with members of the Nipissing Board
of Education and delegations of students, con-
cerned parents and ratepayers over adifference
of opinion on the future development of public
secondary education in the Sturgeon Falls area.
Mr. Welch stated Bill 141, which came into
effect in 1968, was extremely successful in ex-
tending equality of educational opportunity to
French-speaking students. However, there have
been some problems such as the one that occur-
red in Sturgeon Falls.
Such situations are very much in the minority
and in most cases are solved through discussion
and goodwill. The Minister said he believed a
review of the general provisions for providing
French -language instruction would not only solve
the Sturgeon Falls matter but also problems of
a similar nature that may arise in the future.

Winter Driving Tests 1971
While studded tires, tire chains and sand are
effective driving aids at temperatures near
freezing, they give motorists no extra protection
at temperatures near zero in comparison to
regular highway tires.
This is one of the main conclusions contained
in the Canada Safety Council's 1971 Winter
Driving Tests report released recently.
"The Council considers that tests provided
valuable new information regarding safe winter
driving techniques," J.C. Thackray, Presidentof
the CSC, commented. "They show conclusively
that there is no substitute for caution and skill
in these adverse driving conditions."
Vehicles equipped with standard highway tires,
snow tires and studded snow tires and tire chains
were tested on clear ice and sanded ice for
stopping distances and manoeuvering ability in
simulated lane changing at temperatures rang-
ing from freezing to five below zero (Fahren-
heit).
Sanded ice reduced significantly the stopping
distances of vehicles equipped with any of the
tires and aids tested. But even the increased
friction provided by sand became insignificant
when applied to ice hardened by a drop in
temperature to 10 degrees.
On clear ice at temperatures near the freez-
ing point, tire chains and studded snow tires
fitted on all four wheels provided the most
significant decrease in stopping distances in
comparison to standard highway tires or snow
tires. But once again, the improvement was
nullified as the ice temperature approached
zero.
Snow tires did not reduce stopping distances
on clear ice in comparison to regular high-
way tires. Vehicles fitted with snow tires on all
four wheels actually took longer to stop than
those equipped with regular tires on clear ice
at temperatures near the freezing point.
The land -change tests indicative of cornering
ability showed that cars equipped with studded
snow tires on all four wheels could make the
manoeuvre on clear ice at temperatures near
the freezing point some 50 per cent faster than
cars fitted with regular highway or snow tires.
However, both speeds involved on this slippery
surface were relatively low.
Once again, the advantage disappeared at tem-
peratures near zero. Studs on the rear wheels
only gave no such improvement and actually de-
creased cornering ability in comparison to reg-
ular highway tires at temperatures near zero.
In the starting traction tests conducted on clear
ice, chains provided the most bite followed by
studded tires on the rear axle only. Studded
tires fitted on all four wheels provided some-
what less traction.
The hard -packed snow tests, conducted on sur-
faces so hard that tires left no tread marks,
showed that snow tires give no advantage in
starting traction compared to regular highway
tires. Chains gave the most bite but studded
tires gave no consistent advantage on this
treacherous driving surface compared to the
same snow tires unstudded.
The Winter Testing Program was undertaken
by the Canada Safety Council in co-operation
with the Federal Ministry of Transport, the
Ontario Department of Transportation and Com-
munications and the Quebec Roads Department.
They were carried out by Damas and Smith
Limited, Consulting Engineers and Planners,
on Lake Timiskaming 300 miles north of Toronto.

Industrial land Purchased By Township
by Carol Hughes
Councillor Ron Chat -
ten's motion in Com-
mittee of the Whole
this week that Pick-
ering Township pro-
ceed with the acquisi-
tion of land to add to
their industrial lands
now in the Township's
name received support
from everyone but
Councillor Jean
McPherson.
Forty-six acreswill
be purchased, 26.688
acres from Dr. and
Mrs. McKay and
21.332 acres from
Justine Holdings at a
total cost of $428.202.
$355,000 of which will
be debentured and the
balance will be taken
from the General
Fund, Surplus ac-
count which will in-
clude the funds from
the sale of the Base
Line School which has
been earmarked for
this project.
Councillor Mrs.
McPherson expressed
her concern over the
amount of real estate
the Township is pur-
chasing and said it
"does not seem to be
turning over very rap-
idly.
Councillor Chatten
said land buying by
the Township started
several years ago and
the first purchase was
sold with the Township
doing quite well on it.
However, he said with
the present financial
situation throughout
the country, industries
are just not purchasing
land right now.
He pointed out these
lands have the unique
service of a railway
spur line "which will
attract a different
type of industry as well
as fronting on a paved
serviced road with
water, sewers and
street lights_"
Reeve John Williams
added he could assure
the Council members
"there is no other land
available at the prices
we are paying, ($8,500
an acre in one instance
and $10,000 an acre in
another instance) but I
do know of somewhere
the price is twice as
much and sometimes
more, for serviced
land of this kind." He
said he has no hesita-
tion about the plan of
purchasing industrial
lands the Council has
set out on and although
there has been no ac-
tivity in the last six
or eight months due to
the financial climate
of the country, he said
he feels confident that
the Township will
benefit from it in the
long run.
Mr. Williams point-
ed out when the Coun-
cil agreed to embark
on this proposal of
land buying, they knew
they were in "troubl-
ed times."
Councillor Don Kit-
chen said although he
hoped the financial cli-
mate would improve so
the Township could
start to sell some of
its industrial land, the
land is growing in
worth faster than the
cost of up -keep and
interest rate charges.
Deputy Reeve George
Ashe remarked "when
this subject was dis-
cussed with people
from other municinal-
Sties out in Vancouv-
er a couple of weeks
ago, without exception
they all felt that this
was the way to go"
and said others be-
moned the fact that
their local municipal-
ities had not taken ad-
vantage of suchoppor-
tunities.

Ottawa Report HOUSE OF COMMONS
CANADA
SPEECH IN PARIS
I recently informed everyone in the Riding,
through one of my Parliamentary Reports,
that I had been chosen to go to Paris as a
delegate to the Inter Parliamentary Union.
There were about 1,000 parliamentarians from
around the world present.
I spoke to the plenary session at the meeting
held in the French National Assembly. The
text of my speech was as follows:
MR. CHAIRMAN - FELLOW PARLIAMEN-
TARiANS
1. I wish to most sincerely thank the French
group and the Republic of France for being
such gracious and generous hosts during our
stay in France. Any subsequent host to the
I.F.U. will find it difficult, if not impossible,
to match their hospitality.
2. May I also congratulate and thank both Mr.
Forest of Canda and Mr. Spassov of Bulgaria
for their Reports on the Importance of Standing
Committees. These two Reports, by contrast,
have shed some considerable light on the subject
of Standing Committees and their importance.
3. These tw3 Reports which are item 8 of
the agenda, on the Importance of Standing
Committees for the Development of the Activity
of Parliaments, have both emphasized three
basic points: -
1. The need for Committees because of the
complexity and sophistication of the prob-
lems to be dealt with by Parliamentarians
in modern society.
2. Committees offer a more manageable and
meaningful forum for Parliamentarians to
participate in the decision making process.
3. They serve as a medium to more directly
and effectively involve the electorate.
4. It is difficult to extend beyond these gen-
eralities in such an international forum be-
cause of the wide divergency of Parliamen-
tary party - and constitutional systems of
member states.
5. Nonetheless I feel we must expand the scope
of this study to include a detailed analysis
of the support facilities given to Committees
and their members, the role and function
of the M.P. himself, not only in Committees,
but his whole range of legitimate concerns -
as a legislator - a spokesman for the elec-
torate, and ombudsman for the people he
represents.
6. Such a study would strike at the very es-
sence of Parliament and one of its major
failings, for I believe that many of our
institutions are stacked against the meaning-
ful involvement of individual Parliamen-
tarians - not by design but by evolution.
7. The ever growing power of the Executive
Branch of Government and its bureaucratic
technocrats may well be a real genuine
threat to a meaningful participatory democ-
racy.
8. This tendency in all probability cannot be
stopped because of both the complexity of
modern life and the problems with which we
must deal. However, I believe this concen-
tration of power can be offset in such a way
as to give to Parliamentarians and conse-
quently the people a meaningful voice in the
way our citizens are governed.
9. To do this involves some costs to both the
Executive Branch of Government and Parlia-
mentarians, as well as the people them-
selves. For the Executive - they must be
willing to extend to Members of Parliament
and their Committee meaningful research
facilities, adequate staff and accommodation
allowance to assist them in the performance
of their complex duties.
I fear that there may be a hesitancy to do
this by the Executive because such an en-
lightened group of Parliamentarians may
begin to realize, as the Executive so clearly
do that knowledge is power.
10. For Parliamentarians it is essential that they
be willing to face up to the increased cal -
lenge of their expanding role. This role
necessitates a full-time Parliamentarian
who is willing to train and discipline him-
self so that he is equipped to perform his
function in a meaningful way.
11. The cost to the people is not only to pay
the bills for such expanded facilities but even
more :hey must be willing to pay the cost
of taking a deeper interest in the affairs of
the Nation and participating through their
representatives so that they will be aware
of their genuine concerns.
12. In short, I believe that Parliaments must
evolve more quickly to recognizing that people
today want and must be more involved - they
want to be plugged in. Otherwise we run the
risk that they will opt out of society alto-
gether. This does not imply, however, that
they should be expected to in fact make the
final decisions on individual items of proposed
legislation for they often lack the indepth
knowledge required on many of the complex
issues of the day. For these and other ob-
vious reasons it would be foolish to suggest
a return to direct as apposed to Representative
Democracy.
13. Not only do they want to be involved but it
is essential that they are - generally speak-
ing I would rather trust the judgement of the
people en mass than the specialist - people
care, specialists often don t. They often be-
come isolated in their ivory tower - an ex-
ample of this for instance is the hardhearted
approach we often see in respect to human
tragedy - such as with the Pakinstani refu-
gees - the people themselves often want to
do more than their governments.
14. The Secretary General of the I.P.U., Mr.
Terenzio, in his Report has suggested the
desirability of a Committee on Human
Rights. I support this proposal and would
recommend that the existing Standing
Committee on Parliamentary and Juridical
matters be split so that there can be one on
Parliamentary matters alone and that a
new Committee be established to cover Hu-
man Rights and Juridical questions.
15. May I also suggest that the Standing Parlia-
mentary Committee conduct an intensive study
Of the role of Parliamentarians and their
support facilities in all member states. Such
a comparison may well assist each of us
in making our respective institutions a more
meaningful instrument in the service of all
mankind.
Thank you.

WES'r SHORE ASSOC. SOFTBALL BANQUET
The banquet for the children of the W.S.S.A.
was a roaring success. It was held Friday night
at Frenchman's Bay Public School and each team
was well represented. We were pleased to see
some of our sponsors were able to attend.
Mr. McKinnon of St. Basils Parish Credit
Union was there to accept the trophy won by the
Minor Girls team. This team is the League
Champs and the new trophy was donated by
Tommy Williamson from Sounds Wonderful D.J.
Service.
Pete Gallager of Fairport Contracting kindly
donated the trophy that will be won by the play-
off Champs in the Minor Girl Division. Our first
winners for this trophy are the Ace OR Service
team.
We were pleased to see Bob West and his
team from Bay Ridges were able to join us.
Another gentleman also was able to take home a
large trophy for a Playoff Champ team. Brian
Faulkner was both a sponsor and manager for
the Numatics Canada Ltd. team. Joe Wilksfrom
P.M.A. Realty also accepted the trophy from
Squirt Girls Playoffs.
Mr. Vit of the G. Vit Construction team,
Commodore Don McCrae from F renchm an's Bay
Yackt Club, Don Yarrow of Die Casters Co.
Ltd. and Danny Roach, Manager of the N.D.P.
team were some of the men that made time to
come out and meet their teams. We were all
pleased to see them.
The rest of the teams winning trophies are:
Kinsmen Club - B.R. - League Champs; Bay
Ridges I.G.A. - League & Playoff Champs;
Bay Ridges Decorating - League Champs; Pick-
ering Nursery - League and Playoff Champs.
Each youngster that played ball last season was
given a crest. If noise was any indication, the
kids all had a good time. There are of course
many people involved in getting ready to feed
about 400 children, too many to mention here,
but we would like to thank each and every per-
son that lent a helping hand. Special thanks must
go to Knob Hill Farms, Mac's Milk of West
Shore and Bay Ridges Bakery. Their help was
much appreciated.

various "treasures" to be examined. The sale

first choice.
In addition to the used articles, there will be
a Home Baking Table where all merchandise

spare, will also be most welcome.
CORRECTION
An error crept into our list of West Rouge
School Staff members. Miss Sibilla Gann re-
lieves the vice -Principal, David Werry, in the
teaching of Grade 6, instead of assisting the
Principal as was reported. Please excuse.
LUNCHEON DATE
For a pleasant change of pace why not invite
yourself and a friend out to lunch on Mon.
Oct. 18th?
Starting at 12:30 p.m. a special "Luncheon is
Served" program will be held at Centennial -
Rouge United Church, No. 2 Highway at Elles-
mere. Nationally known companies will provide
the food and give suggestions for tasty, econo-
mical meals.
All this for a mere $1.25 per person, and
there will be door prizes too. How can you
lose? Meet me at the church!
MOVIES FOR MOPPETS
The first of the Saturday Movies for this
season will be shown on Sat. Oct. 16th at
West Rouge School. The feature film is to be
the ever popular "Alice in Wonderland". Ad-
mission is still just 50 cents each, with pop
and potato chips available at 10 cents each.
All girls and boys in the area are invited
to attend, but are asked to please refrain from
bringing pop bottles or cans into the auditorium.
These can cause a hazard in the dark and
provision is already made for refreshments
during intermission.
CANOE CLUB
The younger members of the West Rouge Canoe
Club enjoyed a dance on Sat. Sept. 25th at
St. Edward's Cburch hall. Kay and Frank Mc-
Gregor, along with Vicki and Brian Petts,
kindly served as chaperones on this occasion,
and had almost as much fun as the others.
HANDICRAFT SALE
What is the difference between a Rummage
Sale and a Handicraft Sale? Well, the first is
a great way to dispose of unwanted articles
in your home that could be just what someone
else does want.
A Handicraft Sale, such as the one taking place
at the Altamont Nursing Home on Sat. Oct. 23rd,
is a delightful collection of fresh, new gift
items, Christmas decorations and pretty things
-- all made by some of the clever residents at
the Home who work in the Craft Room.
A hint of what will be available at the Bazaar: -
Beautiful crocheted vests in delicious colours,
warm cosy mitts and slippers and bathroom
accessories, all made by Agnes who 'sees'
through her fingers. Lovely driftwood table
centers and flower holders fashioned by Victor,
who has problems, but is always cheerful and
enjoys working with his hands. Delectably dif-
ferent Christmas decorations designed and put
together by Hilda, who also makes velvet sofa
pillows such as might be seen in exclusive
shops.
There is more, but don't take my word for it.
Come see for yourselves. Sat. Oct. 23rd at
1:15 p.m. and don't be late. These goodies are
snapped 'up quickly by discriminating shoppers.
GREETINGS
Happy Birthday wishes to Robert Schad on
Oct. 8th; and to Mrs. Grace Wiles on Oct. 13th.
Mrs. Wiles is the peppy 'grandma' at Muriel
and Bill Petts' home, who takes such a keen
interest in community affairs. It was so nice
to see her, front row centre, at the W.R.C.C.
Regatta this summer, and we hope she enjoys
many more happy birthdays.
SWING YOUR PARTNER
The Road Runners Square Dancing Club is all
set for another swinging season, and would be
very pleased to welcome new members.
There will be two groups this year, meeting
at 8 p.m. in Charlottetown Public School. Tues-
day evenings, starting Oct. 5th, for beginners;
and Thursday evenings, starting Oct. 7th, for
more advanced dancers.
To put more spring in your step, more sparkle
in your eyes, and much more fun in your life,
try Square Dancing! For additional information,
please call Norm White, 839-1470.
"MISS UNITED APPEAL"
Sincere congratulations to Julie Constantine,
Bay Ridges, who was chosen on Sun. Sept.

to represent our township as "Miss Pickering
United Appeal".
Congratulations also to the other nine semi-

Nado, Cynthia Newman, Donna Pascoe, Julie
Peterson, Gail Schindler, Cynthia Vanular and
Annalise Wagner. They are all lovely girls and
Pickering can be proud to have them right here.

must have had difficulty it making their final
choice.

come to you. The West Rouge Sports & Recrea-
tion Assn. is planning a Games Nite on Fri.
Oct. 22nd in the Rainbow Room, West Rouge

adults who like to play with 'money', as well
as providing necessary funds for the girls
and boys who like to play on our many sports
teams. Please watch for more details later on.
HOOFATHON
There have been walkathons and marathons of
all sorts. But "Hoofathon"? Well that sounds
different - so that is what Scarborough Centenary
Hospital decided to call their march for funds
on Sat. Sept. 25th. Over 4000 marchers took
part, including many doctors, nurses and other
staff members, as well as a number of West
Rouge residents.
Final results have not yet been tabulated, but
it is hoped that the goal will be reached. All
money will be used for the purchase of special
arterial X-ray equipment.
JUNGLE TALES
Truth is not only stranger than fiction, but a
good deal more enchanting. Especially when
related by someone who has worked with primi-
tive people in unheard-of places.
Don't miss the first meeting planned.by the
Grace Church W.M.S. on Thurs. Oct. 7th. Guest
speaker will be Mrs. Meriam Kearns who will
illustrate her talk with slides taken in remote
parts of Brazil. The meeting starts at 8 p.m. in
the church hall. Port Union Rd., and will con-
clude with refreshments.

Dance, or $3 each for the Dance only, and may

APPLE DAY
This year's Annual Apple Day takes place on
Sat. Oct. 23rd. Please support your local Scout
Troops and Cub Packs by buying an apple or
two. This is one of their very few means of
raising funds.
KIWANIS
We have some sad news and some good news.
The sad part is that the West Rouge Kiwanis
will not hold their usual Auction Sale this year.
However the West Rouge Ladies Club will have
an Auction Sale on Sat. Nov. 6th at West Rouge
School, so please save all your contributions
for them. and that takes the edge off the sad
news.
The good news is that the Kiwanis will provide
their annual Halloween Party for the children
of West Rouge. This delightlful event takes place
on Sat. Oct. 30th at West Rouge School, starting
about 7 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for the
best costumes and there will be other goodies
for the small ones. More details later on, but
in the meantime it is suggested that girls and
boys, with perhaps a bit of help from their
moms and dad, start planning a prize-winning
costume.
VOLLEYBALL
There will be Volleyball for ladies and teenaged
girls each Wednesday evening, starting Oct.
6th at 7:30 p.m. in West Rouge School. New-
comers are invited to join this group for fun
and good exercise. No charge.

9 p.m. at the following locations:
Ajax - 48 Kings Cres.
Pickering - St. George's Anglican Chaurch Hall,
George St.
West Rouge - St. Edward's Anglican Church

they will all take this responsibility seriously.

deciding on the candidate of their choice and
then exercising their right to vote.

Nobody's saving that words aren't important.
Dialogue is, after all, pretty central to our notion
of democracy. People talk to other people, and listen
to other people talk about the changes that could or
should happen to our society.
But there's something else that's pretty central to
our notion of democracy. and that's leadership. One
person must act when all has been said. One person
must speak for us. One person must listen, and very
carefully. when there are difficult decisions to be made.
Bill Davis is not new to the challenge of leadership.
During his seven months as Premier, he has acted to
stimulate our economy, to create opportunities for
Canadians and for Canadian enterprise. He has acted
on a wide front to clean up our environment—air, land
and water. He has acted to expand and up -grade a
variety of government services. from day care centres
to free medicare for those 65 and over. In all, more
than 130 pieces of legislation have been introduced,
debated, and made law in those seven short months.
In the course of the present election campaign, Bill
Davis continues to listen and speak out, but his promises
are few. Our economy can ill afford the tax increases
to which others have freely committed themselves.
We may be sure that when action is called for,
he will be both wise and decisive.
In what he has already done is the true promise
of what is to come from the leadership of Bill Davis.
:... E Davis is doing th][111118a..0for people.

He listens, he understands, he acts.

New Youth
Half Way
House
Tom Wells , along
with William Newman,
%IFP Ontario South,
has announced ap-
proval of building
plans for F ernie
House, an institution
caring for mildly dis-
turbed adolescent
boys.
"These are boys who
have been referred by
the court or the De-
partment of Correc-
tional Services. They
have no home to go to
or they have aproblem
returning totheirfam-
Ries," explained Mr.
Wells, Minister of
Social and Family Ser-
vices.
Fernie House was ap-
proved last year as a
sorporation under the
Children's Institutions
Act, but for the last
five years the Presby-
tery of East Toronot,
Presbyterian Church
of Canada has been op-
erating a half -way
house for teenagers on
placement from train-
ing schools. The orig-
inal home in down-
town Toronto had to be
vacated due to city
development and a
temporary residence
See Pioneer
Village
The crisp days off all
were busy ones for
pioneer farm families,
and visitors to Black
Creek Pioneer Village
during October will
see typical harvest
time tasks such as
flailing and preserv-
ing being performed by
Village staff members
as part of the special
events shown each
weekend throughout
the month between 11
a.m. and 4 p.m.
Other pioneer activi-
ties such as winnow-
ing, separating grain,
apple paring and apple
drying will also be
shown as part of har-
vest time at Black
Creek, which is lo-
cated in northwest
Metro Toronto at Jane
St. and Steeles Ave. It
Is open from 9:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on weekdays
during October, and
from 10 a.m. to 6p.m.
on weekends and holi-
days.
Visitors to Black
Creek can visit more
than 25 homes, shops
and other buildings
which have been res-
tored to the pre -Con-
federation period, and
observe the Village
staff carrying out the
day-to-day tasks of
pioneer families of
that era.
The nucleus of the
Village .is the Strong
family farm of five log
buildings, which still
stand on their origi-
was located in Oak-
ville.
The new Fernfe
House will be one sotr-
ey, with accommoda-
tion for nine boys and
three staff and located
near schools and fac-
ilities on Rosebank
Road, in Pickering.
"The plans indicate
that this building will
look like a beautiful,
modern home with
double rooms for the
lads and a sunken liv-
ing room lighted by
skylights," said Mr.
Wells. The Minister
added the total cost
of land, building and
furnishings of the
home will amount to
about $125,000 and the
provincial capital
grant would be $5,000
per bed, a total of
$60,000.
Two Color Tours
Nature's display of
of autumn beauty can
be enjoyed by Metro
area residents taking
part in the two auto-
mobile colour tours of
conservation areas
scheduled for this Sun.
Oct. 10th by the Metro
politan Toronto and
Region Conservation
Authority.
The eastern colour
tour covers the Green-
wood, Claremont and
Bruce's Mill conser-
vation areas, while the
western version takes
in Boyd, Humber
Trails, Albion Hills
and the Geln Haffy
area.
Maps of the suggest-
ed route to follow are
supplied by the Auth-
ority but the tours are
flexible, guide - your-
self operations allow-
ing visitors to set their
own pace. These maps
m ay be picked up at
Greenwood and Boyd,
the two starting points
of the tours.
The eastern tour be-
gins at the 682 -acre
Greenwood area where
the view from the look-
out is a must. Below
the lookout is Duffin
Creek, which aIso
flows through the
Claremont conserva-
tion area, the next stop
on the tour.
Claremont is the area
in which the Author-
ity's third conserva-
tion field centre open-
ed for classes in 1970.
It accommodates the
resident staff, 40 stu-
dents and 10 teachers,
and operates year-
round teaching con-
servation education.
nal sites, just as they
were prior to 1832.
Some of the other
buildings include a
general store, church,
village schoolhouse,
harness shop, black-
smith shop, Roblin's
flour mill and the Half
Way House Inn.
The usual livestock
and poultry chat might
have been found in any
pre - Confederation
community are kept at
Black Creek, such as
oxen, sheep, pigs,
cattle, horses, guinea
fowl, ducks, geese and
chickens.
In addition to these
attractions, visitors
can see the Dalziel
Barn Museum, which
is actually a huge
cantilever barn, built
in 1809. It contains the
largest collection of
19th century toys in
Canada, a sugar bush
display, flax proces-
sing, a woodworking
shop and a cooper's
shop.
The Village is being
developed by the Me-
tropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation
Authority as a typical
crossroads commu-
nity of the pre -1867
period. Funds for pro-
jects such as the ac-
quisition of new build-
ings and furnishings,
are provided by the
Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conserva-
tion Foundation in or-
der to sustain the con-
tinuing growthof Black
Creek.
The most spectacular
views during the east-
ern tour coma during
the next section of the
route which leads past
the Glen Major For-
est and Wildlife area.
This is rough and hilly
land, and most of it
has been reforested.
The final conserva-
tion area to be visit-
ed, Bruce's Mill, is
well-known for its
popular maple syrup
activities each spring.
It opened in 1965, and
is also popular for
swimming and skating.
Conducted hikes
around the nature trail
at 2 p. m. and 3:30 p. m.
Sunday are also pro-
vided and personstak-
ingthe colour tour are
invited to participate.
On the western tour,
the 995 -acre Boyd
conservation area is a
natural starting point,
as it is close to Metro
and provides acolour-
ful autumn drive. The
flood plain region in
thie area is attractive
throughout the year,
and the area provides
skiing in the winter,
and swimming, pic-
nicking and hiking in
the summer.
One of the smallest
of the Authority's con-
servation areas is next
on the route. Humber
Trails has only 49 -
acres as compared to
the third stop on the
tour, Albion Hills,
which has 926 -acres.
Albion Hills contains
man - made Albion
Lake, created on the
Centerville Creek
which flows into the
Humber River within
the area. A ski -tow is
available in this area
for winter activities
and during the sum-
mer, family camping
facilities are afavour-
ite.
The Albion Hills con-
servation field centre
is located in this area,
as well as the farm
which forms a part
of this centre. Visit-
ors are also invited
to drop into the pre-
-confederation log
house located at Albion
Hills.
Final area on the
western tour is Glen
Haffy, where the inter -
lobate moraine over -
tops the Niagara Es-
carpment. The area is
almost 1,500 feet above
sea level and pro-
vides the head waters
of the Humber River.
Two ponds containing
speckled trout are lo-
cated in the area and
available for pub-
lic fishing during the
regular trout season
which is usually from
May 1st to Sept. 15th
A five -mile hike is
scheduled for 10.30
a.m. on Oct. 31st.

Pickering High
by Judi Power &
News Jean Eng
It looks as if the foot-
ball players of Pick-
ering High are putting
forth a great effort
this year. Tile Seniors
coached by Mr. Hiron
and Mr. Fairburn have
won every game sofar
against Uxbridge, An-
derson, and Donevan.
The last game against
Donevan was a sensa-
tion. Seniors broke
their record a n d
trounced Donevan 46 to
I. Terry Clements
turned in a good per-
formance passing 5
touchdowns and Brian
Berridge caught 3.
Danny Stokes, Bill
Karstulovich, a n d
Bart Robinson each
scored a touch.
Stokes was injured on
the field; it's not ser-
ious and we hope to
see him back in two
to three weeks. Hang
in there "Danny Boy' .
Our heroic Juniors
coached by Mr. Jack-
son and Mr. Watts did
very well and wallop-
ed Donevan 32 to 9.
They haven't won all
their games, but no-
body's perfect. They
are a good team. Keep
up the good work, guys I
Boys aren't the only
ones turned on by foot-
ball. The girls of Pick-
ering High will be
making up a "Powder
Puff" football team
pretty soon and more
power to them. Good
luck, gals.
Basketball is getting
underway again and I
hope they do just as
well again this year.
Senior volleyball
team has started
again. Pickering won
both exhibition games.
The first game they
won 2 out of 3 games.
V In the second they won
4out of4.
School spirit and
competition within the
school houses was
much endouraged by
our new Principal, Mr.
Thompson.
The sale of 1. D. cards
went up to 72 per cent
because of the 'Foot-
ball Mania' in the stu-
dents. There was also
a challenge within the
houses to see which
one would buy more.
The results were as
f ollowing:
Red; Orange; Gold and
Jade; BHea.
Tues. Sept. 28th, 150
students from grades
12 and 13 went to
Stratford to see Mac-
beth, and they seemed
to enjoy themselves.
We have good news
for "Truck" fans.Our
first dance is on Fri.
Oct. 30th. Hope to see
eya' all there!
Winner of the Minor Girls series of the West Shore Softball League was the St. Basil's Parish

Seek Financing Elsewhere
Pickering Township
Council last week de-
cided to seek a Sew-
age Treatment Project
Loan from the Central
Mortgage and Housing
Corporation, after
their original finan-
cing proposal was
turned down in a recent
Ontario Municipal
Board hearing.
The money will be
used for the expansion
of the Bay Road Sew-
age Treatment Plant.
Councillor Vic Rudik
expressed his concern
over the effect of the
lack of sewage treat-
ment facilities on fut-
ure plans of construc-
tion in the Township.
"Some are already in
the building-perm'x
stage," said Mr. Ru-
Plasti u
Moulding
Technology
Durham College was
recently approached
by General Motors and
the United Automobile
Workers concerning
the feasibility of of-
fering a course in
Plastics Moulding
Technology. The Col-
lege has now prepared
a course which has
been accepted by the
Industry, to begin Oct.
15th.
A large percentage of
automotive parts are
now manufactured
from plastic, for ex-
ample fender welds,
dash boards, interior
and exterior trim,
nose sections and
grilles. This percen-
tage is likely to in-
crease in future, and
will make the Plastics
Moulding course in-
creasingly important.
The Durham course
will involve studying
the moulding process-
es, mould manufac-
ture, product design.,
mould design, and
polymer chemistry. It
is offered in two ses-
sions. The first 50
hours covers basic
theory, whereas the
second 50 hours com-
prises practical lab-
oratory work.
The course is design-
ed to accommodate
shift workers and ses-
sions can be attended
in the afternoon or
evening. Registration
will take place on
Oct. 13th at 2 p. m.
and 6 p.m. in the Col-
lege lecture theatre.
dik.
He said the delay is
bringing the Township
closer to the problem
of overloading the
plant to the point of
spilling raw sewage
Into the lake. "This
is a very real possi-
bility, and one which
the Township does not
want to occur," said
Mr. Rudik.
Councillor Ron Chat -
ten said long range at-
tempts to eliminate
such a situation by the
building of a second
plant on Duffins Creek
were planned as far
back as four or five
years ago "hut were
forever being stalled
by the OWRC to the
point -where the Town-
ship is now faced with
the position of expan-
ding the Bay Street
Plant".
"It is an ironic situ-
ation," said Coun-
cillor Don Kitchen.
"The provincial
government is saying
they want to stop any
further pollution of
Lake Ontario, but an-
other agency of the
government is saying
in effect no expansion,
thereby forcing the
Township into a very
real situation of over-
loading the present
sewage facilities and
possibly leading to
pollution of the lake,"
he said.
Councillor Kitchen
also said about twice a
year heavy drainage
overloads the present
system, such as a bad
storm, and raw sew-
age goes into the lake
anyways.
Councillor Sherman
Scott said haste must
be made in investiga-
ting other methods of
financing so theplant
expansion program
will meet with the
O.M.B.'s approval
Council also passed
a motion advising the
various government
departments any re-
gional sewage treat-
ment facility being
built to serve the York
Central area, should
be located in the area
of the west side of
Duffin Creek, at Lake
Ontario, rather than
the previously pro-
posed location of Pet-
ticoat Creek, in order
that it could serve the
needs of the continued
growth of south-west
Pickering as well as
the York Central area.
This would avoid dup-
lication of such a fa-
cility for the Pickering
are a.
