There are no takers yet. but any developer financing the sew- er system for the “New Wood- bridge", ( a planned annexation of 4,000 acres of Vaughan Town- ship for subdivision development) will receive the lion's share of building permits able to be is- sued on a yearly basis. a recent report states. Among the in-to-this-world out-of-this-world predictions to come were such amazing inven- tions as, flying cars â€"- which will take one to work along a mag- netic field built right into the highway; the driver will set his controls and the automatic chau- ffeur will take over, as the 'driv- er' sits hack and reads or sleeps. (And all the fuss they make now about a guy trying to use his e1- ectric razor as he drives!) Recently Woodbridge Council stated it had set a $1,225,000. ap- pointment fee, which will have to be picked up before any fur- ther discussions regarding annex- ation or development could take place. (We can imagine such horrific sights for the future as: the late dresser, climbing into his clothes, as his car whizzes along the road; or the one who never has time to finish breakfast before leaving home. he’ll probably have one of those built in diners . . . good- bye waistline, for the next den- eratlon too.) by: Mona Robertson Recently we read with wonder about "a kind of time capsule of predictions”, the writer of which suggested to the reader that he put away the list of prophesies after they had been read, so that “you and that future genera- tion can check them against the world you’ll be living in.” Every Generation Has Its Amazing Inventions Wo‘odbridge App't Fee Has No Takers - Yet Time Capsule Needed? “Golf balls will be equipped To further cloud the issue, ratepayers in Pine Grove have banded together and plan to pre- sent a unified objection to their being annexed when the OMB gesurznes its hearing on Novem- er . The village. which has all but reached the maximum it can ob- tain through issuance of deben- tures. must have a definite ar- rangement for the installation of a sewage plant and trunk sewer system before the Ontario Mun- icipal Board will even consider giving an approving nod to the annexation application. with a homing device"; there will be wrist telephones, and direct 'phoning, by television; 3-D tele- vision will be ‘it‘ and you can run your own movie film on your own TV set. Television will be used for shopping (just choose what you want from the TV screen outside the supermarket, push a button and your wrapped parcel will be conveyed to your car). Meals will be cooked in an instant, or kept fresh by radia- tion until wanted. Clothes, such as men’s suits, will be shrunk to fit right on the wearer â€" then too, the cloth will never need cleaning or pressing. As for other wearing apparel and dirty clothes, sound waves will knock the dirt right 03 and out of them. in an instant. Robot maids will take over everywhere in the house. and will cook meals without heat and wash dishes without water. . . . It made us think of the years when we were the “future generation"_ and since it was our high-school-age offspring who had drawn the time-capsule write-up to our attention, we felt we had to come to the rescue of our generation and reminisce on the great innovations which have taken place since we were g1 tad. Playing fields for baseball, foot- ball, tennis, etc., will be under plastic domes. (Will this take aw- ay some of the old thrill of “the perfect day" for a ball game -- as well as the “balancing effect” a rainy day brings when the big game is called off?) And these head- spinning pre- dictions are just part of what the article we read referred to in its time capsule. Andâ€"that list is, to us, both for- midable and out-oi-this-wotld too! Electric light bulbs . . . re- member when they were just clear glass (and such a glare on the eyes) â€" but such a wonder- ful change for the better from the old mantle-covered gas flames by which houses were lit until sometime after the first world war? The pop-up toaster â€" why we didn’t even have such a thing as an electric toaster in my parents’ home until the '20's And our first experience with a radio was a crystal set with ear- phones which I tried out (unsuc- cessfully, for sound, since it was the wrong time in the day to lis- ten in) at the home of a teenage girl friend, after she had told me her Dad could get the ‘news' on that funny little contraption of ‘metal, glass and _wires. Television, bah! Our children are just young enough NOT to know how recent an innovation that is in every home. Electric sewing machines and vacuum cleaners mother thought she was fortunate if she had a carpet sweeper) . . . automatic washers and dryers; (I can remember a wooden washing machine that had to have an inch of water left in it after use, so it wouldn’t shrink and open at the seams) . . power lawn mowers, tractors sans horses; electric milkers, motor cars, trucks and buses . . . dels- e1 trains and electric paint spray- ers . . . and-as for clothing . . . who, in our generation ever saw a girl wearing slacks, or walking along the street in shorts with red nail polish and lipstick on? Not that we are against these new ideals and fashions. but haven’t times changed for us too? Well, this list could go on and on, in every field of science and home economics and all would not be told -â€" of this, our gen- eration. So. our advice to the young- sters of today is . . . Dont ex- pect any miracle â€" such 353 time capsule â€" to introduce you to the wonderful inventions of the future . . ." You youngsters of today are the ones who are going to be saying in another 20 or 30 or 40 years . . . “Now when I was young” . . . You'll just be like your Mom and your Dad, and take what comes in your stride: The finest in floral designs nnd bedding plants. Phone Manle 2 Kaela Stree: Maple, Ont.
