Opinion
Township
Airport Brief
This brief was presented to the Airport Expropriation
Hearings on Thurs. Dec. 7th by Councillor Jack Anderson
representing Pickering Township Council.
Mr. Swackhammer. Ladies and Gentlemen.
On behalf of the Pickering Township Council. I am making
an objection to the expropriation of lands for the proposed
Airport in Pickering Township. On these several points I wish
to object.
t. No compensation is being paid by the Government to the
Township. for the Township -owned roads. as indicated on
Page 6 of the Intent to Expropriate• last paragraph.
1 We object to the Expropriation on the grounds that no
consideration has been given to the uncompensated residents
in the noise zones. such as Greenwood and Claremont.
3 We object to the site of this Airport• when the experts
stated the expansion of Halton was the least costly way to go.
3 We object to the Implementation of the Airport with
complete disregard to the Township Council and the people
affected.
We also object to the land freeze imposed by the Govern-
ment in the surrounding area, as it has imposed great hard-
ships upon the people and the Township as a whole. And it is
contrary to the '.Municipal Act.
Response To
Change
If you haven't read your copy of "Response to Change•" an
information guide for parents outlining the facts and
philosophy of Ontario's new Credit System in secondary
schools you would be wise to do so - and study it wed.
especially if you're puzzled about the "Credit System".
Part of the booklet states:
"The Credit Systems recognized - finally - that each student
is a distinct individual. Each student's abilities• interests.
and future plans are different. and no longer will students be
treated as if they were the same.
Traditionally. the secondary school curriculum has been
handed down from on high. the provincial Ministry of
Education has dictated many of the subjects that students
must take.
The assumption was. presumably, that there were experts
who knew what was best for each student for his future.
But in these fast -changing times, this is a false assumption.
It is not possible for the Ministry of Education to specify a list
of subjects that will answer the needs of each and every
student in the province.
The best -qualified experts on any student's abilities and
future plans - and the school requirements to fulfil them - are
his parents. his teachers, and he himself.
The Credit system recognizes this.
It is a response to change. It is neither a sudden change in
thinking nor an experiment: it is a logical extension of the
schools' continual efforts to adapt to new needs created by a
fast -changing society.
The details of the Credit System have been in the planning
for five years, and the new program has been gradually
introduced across Ontario over the past three years.
Last year. about 80 per cent of Ontario's high schools were
following it, and this fall the remaining schools were.
The "fundamental" subjects are still being taught in
elementary schools. Secondary schools now consider their
primary objective is to give students the skills and attitudes
necessary to allow them to learn throughout their lives.
In a world dominated by electronic communications and the
pocket calculator. traditional ideas about "fundamental"
knowledge and skills may no longer be applicable."
Another positive fact about the Credit System is this ob-
servation - "many of the disciplinary problems that have
occupied the time of school officials are disappearing.
When a student and his parents select the program that is
best suited to that student - and are committed to it by their
own choice rather than by a higher authority - there is much
less reason for rebellion or sullen resistence."
Thomas L Hells. Minister of Education. Ontario has done
his homework and has let us in on his results and future plans
for our students

The steering wheel controls a needle on a dial in the instrument panel When the ignition is

No Place For Snowmobiles
A railway right-of-way is no place for snowmobiles, warns
J.W. Deck, superintendent CN police.
"Because of the noise a snowmobile makes and because
most drivers wear well -insulated helmets, it is almost im-
possible to hear an approaching train, even when its whistle
is blowing." he says.
Last year, several people were subsequently prosecuted.
Fines ranged from S5 to $too, depending on the cir-
cumstances.
The amended Railway Act clearly stipulates that the
practice is illegal. Section 359 states:
"Every person who, without authority therefore from the
company, operates a vehicle upon the yard or right-of-way of
the company, except where same is laid across or along a
highway. is liable on summary conviction to a penalty not
Prceeding $10) -
Mr. Deck says CN intends to maintain strict surveillance of
its tracks again this year and will continue to apprehend and
prosecute snomobders who travel across tracks or along its
right-of-way
Despite warnings and a surveillance program last year. at
least three people were killed when their snowmobiles were
struck by trains. Several more were injured.
This winter, CN will continue its efforts to educate
snow'mobilers, and the company is distributing safety
posters to the news media, police departments and
snowmobile groups across the country.
Members of CN police also visit interested community
groups• as part of the program to inform people about
current laws which prohibit driving a snowmobile on railway
property and of the dangers involved.
Help Maintain Environment
Following established Ministry of Environment policy, the
co-operation of ice fishermen and snowmobilers will be
encouraged this winter in a publicicity program covering all
aspects oI, wintertime activities on the porvince's lakes and
watercourses.
Regulations covering temporary shelters are now being
developed by the Ontario Government. While licensing of
these shelters under the new regulations will not be required
until the winter of 1973/74. the Ministry of the Environment,
in co-operation with the Ministry of Natural Resources will
launch an intensive inspection program during the coming
winter.
This program is rntendt i to ensure that waste materials
generated by activities on frozen lakes and rivers are
adequately collected and deposited at appropriate land-
based disposal sites, and, temporary shelters are removed
from the ice in sufficient time before the spring break-up.
With a concentrated program of education and information,
it's expected these efforts will result in a marked im-
provement in the disposal of these winter sports -generated
wastes.
Last winter's garbage may have been washed ashore this
past summer. It's an irresponsible act to leave trash and
body wastes, etc. on the ice.
Think about it.

Report From Queen's Park by Wm. Newman,
M.P.P. Ontario South
Twenty -Ninth Parliament. Second Session
November 21 to December 15, 1972
Legislative Highlights
URBAN TRANSPORTATION POLICY
In late November, Mr. Davis announced what may well
become the most important single achievement of the
present government. Hailed by municipal leaders and
editorial writers alike as "breathtaking" and "imaginative",
the policy can make Ontario a world leader in integrated
transportation planning. The new transportation system will
combine fast, silent pollution -free vehicles with other
transportation modes to provide an attractive alternative to
high-rise, high-density living and suburban sprawl. Through
a combination of planning, development and subsidy it en-
visions a "people first" transportation system which will
permit orderly development, improve the quality of urban
life and conserve our land resources at reasonable cost to the
taxpayers.
EDUCATION
The Ministry of Education will not approve new school
construction until it has been shown that the need for new
accommodation exists and is not available from another
school board in the same geographic area. This policy adopts
the recommendation of the Committee on the Costs of
Education and is aimed at avoiding waste and duplication in
school facilities by ensuring that the public and separate
school boards consult each other on a regular basis regarding
enrolment matters and available accommodation.
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities announced a
deceleration in the (low of capital support to post -secondary
institutions. Essentially• building projects will be limited to
those already under construction. This pause will provide the
Government and the institutions with an opportunity to study
current enrolment trends and to examine existing in-
ventories of space.
HEALTH
The major thrust of the Ministry is directed to a change
away from a hospital -oriented society. This has produced a
new emphasis on such things as extended care service. home
care. nursing homes• chronic care and self-care units. This
was given further impetus by the limitation of capital funds
for active treatment hospitals and the elimination or
amalgamation of duplicated obtetrical facilities. The
determination to control costs in the interest of taxpayers is
evident in the proposal to restrain increased operating
h dgets to 5% of 1972 costs.
Legislation was enacted to create a new profession of
denture therapists for the taking of impressions for. fitting
arwt making rrrrwwahW dentures
ECONOMIC NATIONALISM
Amendments to The Business Corporations Act which were
introduced in the spring, received third reading in Decem-
her. This Act requires that a majority of the directors of
Ontario incorporated companies must be resident Canadians
and set out January t• 1975 as the date by which all com-
panies must comply.
WINTER WORKS PROGRAM
The Treasurer unveiled a $50 million winter works program
designed to provide 29.000 temporary jobs during the peak
unemployment months. Because of its proven success last
year, the winter spending is concentrated on the Municipal
Employment Incentive Program which provided 100%
grants to local governments for hiring temporary workers
who would otherwise be receiving welfare or unemployment
insurance payments.
BOOST IN SOCIAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS
Increases in allowances under the Family Benefits
Program, effective January 1, 1973, were announced which
will result in an additional expenditure of $16 million in the
first full year. Approximately 82,000 Ontario residents
benefit from the program and the current adjustments are
varied to ensure that those who are most affected by the
rising costs of living will receive the greatest revision.
DISCLOSURE OF POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
In a statement to the legislature in December, the Premier
announced that legislation would be presented in the near
future to provide for disclosure of political donations. In
addition to this commitment. many other aspects of this
question will be referred to the Ontario Commission on the
Legislature. Mr. Davis' purpose in which the various
political parties can function and campaign for public sup-
port freely and openly and... in an atmosphere above and
beyond public doubt, suspicion of cynicism."

What's Council D g? A weekly commentary by Don Qmck.
Councillor for Ward 5 Pickering Township
Pickering Township Council met on Tuesday evening and
nay have decided then to hold a plebiscite in the West Rouge
regarding the exclusion of this part of the township f rom the
proposed new regional government set-up east of Metro.
In any event, the people of West Rouge must be given the
opportunity to express a personal chace - for the West Rouge
to become part of Ward 9 of Scarborough ( and therefore
w ithin Metro Toronto r or not. Since this column is written on
a Tuesday n x -r ing I cannot guess at possible council action
Tuesday evening
Here are the facts as 1 see them at this time concerning
regional government and west Rouge:
I The government proposed to put West Rouge into Scar-
borough
Pickering Council is on record as supporting a decision
taken at a mass meeting of residents under the auspices of
the West Rouge Ratepayers Association some two vears ago.
that if the whole of Pickering were not included in an ex -
!ended Metro Toronto• then the West Rouge would like to be
cut off from Pickering and ceded to Scarborough. There has
been no request to Council to change that position. A more
recent meeting of ratepayers in the West Rouge early last
year indicated they did not wish to go to Metro. I believe a
letter to that effect was sent to the government by the
ratepayers association executive.
Under current regional government proposals, all af-
fected municipalities have until the end of February 1973 to
submit objections and suggested amendments to the
proposals. Thus, if the residents of West Rouge object to
going to Scarborough, they must state so before the end of
February. Such an objection would not necessarily change
the government's proposal although, obviously, it would
carry considerable weight.
Somehow the government has the opinion that "a large
portion of the people in the West Rouge want to become part
of !Metro". That's a direct quote from the government
proposals handed to municipal councils at 10 p.m. last
Monday night.
I have no idea where the government gets this opinion other
than the two-year old request from the ratepayers
association of that time as mentioned above. In the past two
years the mood of the residents of West Rouge may have
changed.
Only a plebescite will show if it has. The public vote in such
a referendum would be largely personal and emotional.
There are few facts to offer at this time. Taxes may or may
not change .... educational standards may or may not be
better or worse according to individual likes and dislikes ...
municipal services may or may not be better. Many people
believe that going to Scarborough may give an increased
chance to retain the golf course as such. I cannot answer
that. Certainly Scarborough is looking for somewhere to put
a fire hall for the Centennial Road Community, and they
don't have room for it on the Scarborough side of Port Union
Road as far as I know.
Apart from the impact of West Rouge, the proposals for
regional government spell the disappearance of Ontario
County to all intents and purposes, so that, presumably, some
changes may be expected in the area of jurisdiction of the
Ontario County Board of Education. The proposals appear to
affect two of Pickenng's four school trustees in that they live
in the Kest Rouge which is destined to became part of
Scarborough. It simply adds insult to injury for the school
board and trustees that they only two weeks ago, went
through an election which cost them each several hundred
dollars of their own money.
t ►ne might think that the elections could have been deferred
until the regional government proposals were released, since
the government knew for some time that it would be making
the announcement in December - but that's the way govern-
ments seem to work. The recent school board election also
cost Pickering taxpayers $4.000 - now there's likely be into
new elections within 10 months.
Vrider the government proposals. Pickering merges with
Ajax and Pickering Village, but loses all the lands slated for
an international airport and the North Pickering Community
Project - some 43.000 acres in all. Pickering also loses all
land north of the 7th Concession i Hwy 7 is the 6th concession) .
Thus, the new municipality of Pickering Ajax 1 and there has
been no official name assigned to it - simply Municipality No.
1 1 will in future, comprise 50 acres instead of its present 70
acres.
In population• it will be the second largest of nine new
municipal areas within the regional boundaries, but in
square miles it will be the smallest. The government
proposals would give the new Pickaxe town a mayor and four
councillors. The mayor and three of the councillors will sit on
the regional council in addition to the Pickaxe council.
They're going to have to do a lot of running around. As an
early guess, the job of councillor, regional or local, is going to
he a heavy one under the present proposals.
The proposed region stretches east to Port Hope and Coburg
and north to include Uxbridge and other towns directly east
of it. The entire area may well be economically viable, but it
appears to destroy much community of interest for several
existing municipalities. So far as Pickering is concerned,
much if not all of the community spirit will be destoryed.
So. now we know.'

Council Christmas 1911
Christmas 1972 was a
"family and friends" affair
for the member of the
Pickering Township Council.
None escaped the fog•
freezing rain and snow for
more congenial climates.
Instead they chose to stay at
home, or close to it, to spend
the holidays.
All except Deputy Reeve
George Ashe. He and his
family, a wife, three sons
and a daughter, went to
Ottawa one day and London
another for family visits. In
addition. Mr. Ashe chauf-
fered a hockey -playing son to
Kingston and Milton during
the holidays. Home base for
the Ashes is on the east side
of Bay Ridges.
Reeve John Williams. who
also lives in Bay Ridges.
spent Christmas with his
wife, two children. father
and friends.
Another Bav Ridges
resident. Councillor Don
Kitchen, took his vacation
during the Christmas
season. spending most of the
time at home with his wife.
son and two daughters.
Councillor Jean McPherson
had Christmas dinner with
her nine grandchildren and
their parents at the home of
one of her sons, who lives
near by her Finch Averwe
home. Mrs. McPherson
underwent a successful ear
operation about a month ago,
which has restored the
hearing in a formerly deaf
ear.
The magic of Christmas was
renewed for the Matheson's
by seeing it through the eaves
of their 2 1/2 yr. old son, who
was aware of the occasion
for the first time. Councillor
Ken :Matheson and his wife
as well have an 8 month old
daughter and live in West
Shore.
Councillor Jack Anderson
and his family followed their
tradition of spending
Christmas Eve with other
family members. Christmas
Day was spent in Altona with
their neighbours. The An-
dersons have three sons.
Councillor Don Quick and
his wife. who live east of
Whitevale, gave a party for
50 or so of their friends
during Christmas week.
Council members were in.
eluded in the party.
Kinettes
The Bay Ridges Kinettes
held their fourth meeting of
the 72/73 season on Dec. 12th.
The meeting was very active
as our past presidents took
over. They kept President
Sheila quite busy.
We had two special guests
from the Bay Ridges
Florists. They gave us a
beautiful and sweet smelling
demonstration. I'm sure the
Kinettes homes looked extra
special during the holiday
season. Thanks to these two
ladies.

BEST WISHES
I hope you all had a marvellous Christmas and that 1973 will
be everything you would like it to be. The tumult has almost
died away, not so the clearing up yet! Twelfth Night will be
here in a couple of days and then, alas, I shall have to dust -
one thing about Christmas decorations and cards, they
certainly cover up a lot of spaces.

comfort and the fact that the school gym is being used, soft

SCHOOL CONCERT
The West Rouge Public School held two evenings of utter joy
during Christmas week with the Primary members putting
on a program of plays and carol singing and the Junior
School, the following evening, entertaining with singing and
"A Christmas Carol".
The talents of our children together with the patience of the
teaching staff are limitless and, of course, the odd mishap
always helps make the evening. I think everyone enjoyed the
performance, particularly one performance by a Jack -in -the
Box whose box refused to function when required to open but
had a distressing tendency to move around otherwise......
Fortunately, 'Jack', otherwise David Rourke, took it all with
aplomb and when he did eventually manage to spring up-
wards, did it like a rocket and received a veritable roof -
shattering round of applause.
ROYAL. BALLET
Among the varied talents of the West Rouge area is ballet
and in this field eighteen -year old Karen Burak has been
accepted as a student for a year with the Royal Ballet,
London.

abundance of Shepherds, etc. presenting once again the
Christmas story.
A special 'thank you' is sent to the children for these

which ended with surprise entertainment provided by 13 year
old "Roudini", a magician of no small talent who put on a
tremendous performance despite the handicap of a broken
hand.
A program of carol singing followed by refreshments was
also held at Grace Church on Friday afternoon before
Christmas which was organized by Mrs. Joyce Woods and
Mrs. Margaret Cairns.
ALTAMONT NURSING HOME
The above was the scene for a variety of Christmas ac-
tivities beginning with a Candlelight Service at St.
Margarets -in -the -Pines. On Dec. 11th nine young people from
Grace Church sang carols at the Volunteers dinner while on
the 12th everyone enjoyed the St. Vincent de Paul's Christ-
mas Bingo evening, at which time each resident received a
gift.
Dec. 13th saw the residents' Christmas party with en-
tertainment by the Rhythm Rascals followed next day by the
Bowling party for those members of Altamont who enjoy
bowling each week. The 16th was the time for '_Melville
Presbyterian Church Sunday School to visit and entertain
with carols, with the Seventh Day Adventist Church of
Scarborough "Sunshine Club" visiting on the 17th to en-
tertain with Christmas music.
Dec. 19th saw the Pioneer Girls' Club who gave a party and
provided refreshments with the 20th seeing the Rhythm
Rascals entertaining the residents of Central Park Lodge.
Eight students from Sir Wilfrid Laurier College, Scar-
borough also sang carols.
The week continued with the primary grades, including
Kindergarten, from W.G. Davis School visiting Altamont
with each class putting on entertainment for the residents
with a birthday party for all those who celebrated December
birthdays.
On the 22nd a Carol Concert followed by presentation of gifts
was presented by Don Runyan from Ajax Pentecostal
Church.
Now all those festivities are over, don't let the rest of the
year pass by without someone from the area volunteenng
some spare time to help out at Altamont. They desperately
need helpers both at the Home and also as dnvers for both
the Band and the Bowling team so please do try and start the
New Year with an hour or so a week to see that the present
shortage of help is soon over.
Also , while I think of it, any type of reading material is
always welcomed by the residents and maybe some of you
have made room for all the Christmas gifts and have some
books or magazines which you could pass on. Please call
Shirley Richardson at 25"-ira1 both about the vokmteer help
or the reading materials.
