The First Representatives from all parts of York County met in the Counâ€" ty Headquarters in Newmarket last Thursday night to discuss planning problems. The meeting was called by Lorne Evans, chair- man of the Whitchurch Township Planning Board who acted as chairman. York Planning Probiems Discussed Round Table Meeting In Newmarket Warden John Rye welcomed the gathering to the first meeting held in the new headquarters and thanked Mr. Evans and his plan- ning board for the leadership they were giving the county in its planning problems. He ex- pressed pleasure in the‘ fact that a member of the Davis family was present for this first meeting, in the person of Bruce Davis of King. A former Reeve of Forâ€" est Hill Village and member of County Council, Mr. Davis is chairman of the planning board of King Township. “York Coun- ty and King Township are for- tunate that a man of such wide experience and such outstanding ability is working with us," said the County Warden. Planning Dept. Representatives Col. S. Nash. head of the Com- munity Planning Branch of the Department of Planning and De- velopment, Mr. E. A. Homme of the same department and Mr. J. D. Lucas, solicitor for the Coun- ty of York, were present to dis- cuss the planning picture and to answer questions.

Nash, “provides for the expropriation of such a sub-div- ision by the municipality and the drawing up of a new subdivision plan.” “It is not simple, but it is possible." Mr. Davis stated the case of a builder who, after being granted a building permit and building his house, found it contravened the land use or some other township by-law. Mr. J. D. Lucas said the way to avoid was to have the application for a building permit accompanied by a sketch of the lot and the pro- posed building. Only after the sketch had been studied should the permit be issued. Markham Master Plan Reeve Alfred LeMasurier of Markham Township asked what had happened to the Master Plan Markham had sent to the Dept. of Planning for approval last September. Markham Township is in the fringe area of Metro- politan Toronto and so comes under the Metropolitan Planning Area. although still in York County. Reeve LeMasurier was told that the Master Plan submit- ted was under consideration now. Schools and Services “What shall we do with a sum-of money for schools, say $400. per lot collected from a sub-divider? We have no set-up for handling that money. We will not need it till the houses are up and the school children there.

Going To Jubilee Hold Meeting Re Water Work On Many New Projects Will Start This Summer To Provide. Hundreds Of Homes Dr. Bell explained the adjust- ments the body makes to various stresses it is called upon to ear in the course of normal living, which ranged from those it makes with ease. those it makes uneasi- ly, to those the body cannot make without disease, at which point it is recognized that the person is sick. Dr. Bell cited examples of adjustment which are made to changes of temper- ature, pressure .and sound and accidental or chance exposure to chemicals due to occupation. “Disease,” th espeaker went on, “is any change away from the normal. Intensity of exposure or total dose may 01‘ may not lead to disease, depending on the in- dividual," he said. York Simcoe H88 Guest By Mrs. S. Ficht The York Simcoe Home and School Council learned that al- cohol is a drug and that one may find out the normal dosage, just as anyone administering a drug can find out-the standard dose, the normal reactions and the danger signals of over dosing from his doctor. This was the subject which was dealt with by Dr. R. B. Bell, director of Shad- ow Brook foundation, at the main meeting held in Thornhill, May 6th. Adjustments Speaks On AlcoholiSm A major change in policy regarding sub-division development was announced by Richmond Hill munici- pal council this week, which gives the green light to sub- dividers and clears the way for large scale housing pro- jects. Council has agreed to permit residential sub-divis- ion in the village, subject to agreement that the sub- divider provides certain specified services. Tentative ag- reements have been discussed which are in the main satisfactory to the municipality and prospective sub- dividers.The agreement will provide that the sub-divid- er construct permanent paved roadways, waterworks and sewer installations, and pay the municipality $300. for each residential lot sold. This money paid to the municipality will be placed in a trust fund for municipal purposes. This change in policy recommended by the Planning Board after several months of study and consideration and adopted by council will likely' mean the almost im- mediate opening of at least three and perhaps four large sub-divisions. ~ ’ ' A plan has been tentatively accepted for the sub division of the 100-acre Mackie farm. The plan'pro- vides for about 40 acres of industrial area, and the bal- ance residential and commercial. The plan provides for the erection of 239 homes which will mean an estimated additional 1000 population in the village. There is every indication and likelihood that this development will commence almost immediately. Princi- pals planning the development of the Mackie farm have assured local authorities that plans are complete for the immediate development of the area. Very choice loca- tions will be available for industrial sites. / Local au- thorities have been assured that every bit of the land will be for sale, and complete information and price of all sites ad locations will be available at the clerk’s of- fice. It is expected actual construction work on the new sub-division will be under way by August 1. Major housing developments also are likely to get under way very soon on the Allan-Court Sub-division, the Stanley Tyndall farm, and possibly one or two oth- ers. The Richmond Hill Development Co., owners of a large area in the north-west section of the village also may take advantage of the new policy to go ahead with residential development. Reev'e W. J. Taylor and members of council in mak- ing the change in policy feel that the move will mean extensive development and growth for the village and that by the agreement proposed, interests of the munici- pality are well protected. It is pointed out that with the sub-divider bearing the cost of roads, sewers and water installation and paying $300 per lot there will be no ex- tra burden placed on the taxpayers to provide schools and necessary services. The new policy is designed af- ter careful study and examination to provide immediate opportunity for extensive residential'and industrial de- velopment, and each new development will be paying its own way. The new policy has been well received by citizens generally and it is confidently expected it will mean very substantial growth and development for the village with- in a very short time HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Look Where People Advertise Advertise Where People Look Liberal Want-Ads Cull TU. 4-1261 Chemicals Poisonous The fact that all chemicals are essentially poisonous was pointed out when Dr. Bell referred to the fact that certain prisoners of war unintentionally poisoned them:- selves with liberal quantities of common salt shaken on their tasteless food. Stimulants - Depressants People use stimulants or de- pressants to change the way they feel, when they cannot find re- sources within themselves or their community to face up to their tasks. Addiction has to do with the abnormal use of them. ‘Taking a drink before dinner does not create an alcohol'c,” the speaker continued. “but e who ‘celebrates’ every crisis in his day tends to become chronic.” The “Hangover” Referring briefly to sleeping pills, Dr. Bell said they were one hundred times stronger. Stating that not the hangover but the absence of one after tak- ing toxic doses was proof of al- coholism. Dr. Bell said that a high tolerance for alcohol should be regarded as potentially dang- erous whether that tolerance was treatn (Continued on page 3) lot the hangover 2 of one after tak- was proof of al- Bell said that a for alcohol ghould potentially dang- that tolerance was Me oxif,
