Your correspondent regrets that at the time of writing a re- port is ndt available on the find- ings of the Edgeley Farm For- um meeting of March 16 when the topic for discussion was “Im- migration and Emigration.” Instead. here is a report on the judgment of the majority of farm forums across the province: Canada should continue to ex- ercise discrimination against im- migrants on the basis of color. nationality, education. religion and health, the forums report- ed. A substantial number of for- ums would not have discrimina- tion on the basis of color and nationality. but think some firm- ness should be exercised with respect to character. health and education, and another substan- tial number of forums thought discrimination was most import- ant from the health standpoint. There was very little bigotry ev- ident in the reports as to discrim- ination on religion. or coloured grounds. but the general trend of thought among the forums ap- peared to be that extreme care must continue to be exercised on most grounds.

Mr. Henry Nordin, pres sident of the association, has been very active in an effort to find out all he can for us regardâ€" ing the railway problem. By del- egating various residents to at- tend meetings which were held in Thornhill and Maple, and by doing a lot of work himself, Mr. Nordin has already proved to be a very capab1e_officer, and will undoubtedly continue to do so. Guides and Brownies The rest of the meeting was taken up with business pertaining to the subdivision itself, and Mr. Ralph again proved to be very helpful in answering questions on various subjects. Many thanks to him again for his willing asâ€" sistance. ' The second meeting of the Kefâ€" fer Subdivision Ratepayers’ As- sociation was held on Friday ev- ening, March 20. at the school. Guest speaker for the evening was Councillor B. Ralph, member of Vaughan Township Council. Mr. Ralph was able to give an- swers to many questions regard- ing the proposed marshalling yards and the effect they would have on this area. He felt that. although the railway itself would probably be an asset, the marsh- alling yards would not benefit the township whatever. Mr. Ralph also gave information which will be helpful in submitting a pro- test against the location of the yards, and he felt that Vaughan Council would give the residents its full support in such an issue. Asked as to whether or not our tight control of immigration was a good thing, the great ma- jority of forums said “yes.” Some forums stressed the need for con- trol in the face of rising unem- ployment, others mentioning the need to be able to absorb new- comers properly. A number of forums thought present policies were working well. A few forums thought present controls were not tight enough, while others recognized a need for more people to help in de- veloping Canada‘s future. Ratepayers cerned, some forums emphasized that more British stock should be encouraged to come, as well as those from the more northern European countries, who are more likely to adapt themselves readily to Canadian ways. With such assurances it looks as though many fears experienc- ed by property owners in the area should be set somewhat at rest. It looks as though the good that the proposed project Will do to the areas involved far outweighs any small disadvantages, if any. He has also stated that the rail- way has undertaken to provide speakers for any community group which might like to have their proposed plan explained in detail. quired for the project will be paid a fair price for it and that the C.N.R. is prepared to enter into discussion with any other residents who feel they have claims for damages. Mr. Gordon has said that he "is anxious to do everything possible to make it clear that the Canadian National proposes to continue working closely with the various commun- ities involved and to deal in a fair manner with all property owners in the area in question.” Concord Socials Mayor Tomlin said any widen- ing program which would involve removal of existing buildings on Yonge Street was a remote possi- bility: He said a ten foot widenâ€" ing can be accomplished by using the existing boulevard. ~ Councillor Paterson contended the applicants were within their rights in asking a building per- mit and council had no right to refuse under existing regulations. His motion to grant the permit was seconded by Deputy-reeve Tinker and carried. Mr. Paterson said council had no right to en- Councillor Bradstock asked for some expert consideration of the proposal. “We’re being stamped- ed to take action which will allow indiscriminate building on Yonge Street. We're discarding the whole idea of Yonge St. widen- ing,” he said. Councillor Haggart -â€" “I must side with the Mayor. The 17-foot setâ€"back is not practical, more- over it would reduce the off-street parking space available which is an important factor.” Mayor Tomlin said the set back plan might be alright in the sec- tions of Yonge Street still unde- veloped commercially, but cer- tainly not in the two established business blocks. ’ * “I disagree in principle," said Councillor Bradstock, pointing out some thought must be given to future‘ widening needs. Mayor Tomlin referring to a re- cent motion of council requiring a 17-foot setback, said he couldn't go along with it. because in the established Yonge Street business section it was a bit ridiculous and not practical. He said many of the buildings are comparatively new and are on .or near the street line. It was ridiculous he con- tended to make an owner now contemplating building to set back a distance of 17 feet. The building inspector appear- ed before council asking for di- rection as to how he should deal with the two requests for build- ing permits. Existing regulations provide the b leings must be constructed in line with the majority of estab- lished buildings in the block. Building Inspector Hollowell was authorized to engage a surveyor to assist him if necessary in de- termining the existing line. Monday night council did not rescind the motion but did re- verse its policy and passed mo- tions granting permits for two buildings in the Yonge Street business section. One was for a new building, store with offices upstairs, on the present site of Powell Furniture, the other for an addition to the Minerva Beau- ty Parlor. Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night changed its policy on set-back requirements for new buildings on Yonge Street. Some weeks ago council adopted a motion by Councillor Bradstock that any new buildings on Yonge Street be built at least 17 feet from street line to provide for any future widening program. The resolution provided that council must be consulted before issuance of any Yonge Street permits.

The Mrrch meeting of the Thornlea Home and School As- sociation was held in the school on Wednesday, March 10th. The president, Mr. Wilkins, presided over the meeting. Councillor Paterson contended council had no alternative but go by the terms of the existing regu- lations which state the street building line is determined by the majority of existing bulld- ings. “We have to be guided by the by-law." he said, “we just can't play army poker rules." Reeve Perkins who opposed the Paterson motion said “we are getting into hot water here to- night.” Reeve Perkins said that council had given direction as to the de- sired street line and had been ac- corded coâ€"operation. He suggestâ€" ed the street line of the Rich- mond Theatre Building be adopt- ed for Yonge Street south to the Markham Road. “I think we should discuss this matter with the owner and tell him our wish- es," said the reeve. “He’s human, and I think would co-operate." “I’m not here to discuss hu- manities," said Councillor Pat- erson. force a set-back unless it was con- firmed by by-law.
