Citihg the noise nuisance and bad traffic situation which been forced on Scarboro resi- dents since thc advent of a Tow- er project in that area. ratepay- ers expressed the view that sure- ly with such an attractive site as the Heintzman property. a better Itype of commercial enterprise could be interested in establish- ing there. The deputation em- phasized that they intend to fight any re-zoning which they consider will be detrimental to their pro- perties. At present the proposed plan for the area includes multiple dwellings. single family dwellings and proper access roads to Yonge Street as well as parking facilities‘ and the shopping centre proper. Speaking for the planning board, Director Ron Forrest ex- plained that only a small por- tion of the land in question has ever been zoned. Both he and Planning Board Chairman H. Brennan stated they admired the group for their stand. but felt they had little ground for com- plaint, and could not legally ob- ject to any project unless it was within 200 feet of their proper- ties. The the Tower enterprise would be a regional business rather than a local one. In the present instance ample parking and access routes are being allowed for, they state. whereas in Scarboro only a small fraction of, the required parking space was available when Towers opened that store. In addition the main access roads were in poor condition.

No asking price for the Heintzman property was mentioned. While it is probably lcss expensive, it could also be a more desirable site from the standpoint of a merchandiser, since it lies but a few hundred yards south of the route which the new six lane highway No. 477 will take through the old Langstafi. . Included in the 150.000 square foot shopping area will be a Tow- er Store, a Stciubergs Supermar- ket. a bank and other businesses. Council prefers this type of de- .velopment to the string type so often seen in the North York sec- tion of Yonge Street. Assessment would be in the neighbourhood of $450000. yielding taxes be- tween 340,000 and $50,000. After presenting their case and hearing council the deputa- tion left shortly after Reeve W. R. Dean arrived at the meeting. Other items on the meetings {agenda included the plan for the Victoria Gardens at Unionville, submitted by Palden Investâ€" ments and utilizing the Radburn type of multiple housing. This it was felt was not the best type for the area and was turned down. Road Budget Also facing the council and planning board is the problem of the roads budget. At January 1, 1961, the road budget was over- spent by $66,000. an amount ,which had accumulated over the past year or two. This ’means that the budget for the current year is greatly depleted unless the province can be persuaded to rec lease funds to help the situation. CARRVILLE , NEWS CORRESPONDENT: MRS.

Miss Rasmussen is not a stranger to Carrville as she attended Carr- Iville United Church and Young People's a few years ago. jail farm property at f l I SchooL A 60-membcr teacher-audience gathered at Our Lady of Fatima Separate School February 2 and was told by Mr. Franklin Barrett, Copp Clark Publishing Company representative that it is impor- tant that teachers distinguish between literature and reading. Literature. he said, may be de- fined by its quality, its universal appeal and by its intellectual and emotional effectiveness. He said that one result of today’s em- phasis on quantitative reading is a de-cmphasis of the value of ,and need for qualitative. charac- terâ€"building subject matter. “The desire should be to teach literature in order to elevate youngsters," he went on, so that they will appreciate and recog~ nize ennobling, character-build- ing works. Literature is designed to give one enjoyment, informa- tion and broaden one’s mental horizons. It is a means whereby one can escape from boring rou- tine. It is intended to develop ity to the point that through mental and spiritual enrichment and growth a child can more fully share in the great experi- ence of living_ To properly teach literature he suggested that teachers them~ to communicate their faith and love of the written word to the student; insist on adequate time allowance and distinguish in their own minds between reading tech- Iniqucs and literature as such. He went on to say they should also make it a point to share their delight in literature with their students. Mr. Bartlett said it was com- mon sense to realize that teach- ing literature was no easy task. “Remember that reading is the key which unlocks literature," he told his audience. “And though teaching literature is no cut-and- dricd proposition, it can be done.” One difficulty nowadays, he went on stems from the fact that a mass of second rate TV offer- ings have made youngsters pas- sive and it is now harder to arouse their interest in literary matters. He said: choosing of good books. Because of numerous contemporary super- ficial, distracting picture books (which should not be classed as literature). movies and radio shows it is difficult enough for a teacher to spark literary ap- ' preciation in a child without let- ting him choose his own reading fare at random. Unguided stu- dents rarely choose challenging books on their own. The speaker said he has noted a small evidence of the come- It is estimated that more than 90 per cent of the work of the Canadian Red Cross Society is performed by volunteer workers of all ages. a a c c A Canadian Red Cross team of specialists in physical medi- cine and physiotherapy has been in Morocco for over a year. as- sisting nearly 10,000 paralysis victims.

He said teachers must continue to try to strike a better balance between reading and literature. Summing up he said that lit- erature can be vivid, memorable and relevant. Out of generalities a teacher can develop his own specific records, film strips and TV as well as radio can be valu- able tools when used to awaken a student’s interest in literature. He said it was a matter of regret that TV did not make a greater and more sustained effort to lead youngsters toward literature Gordon McIntyre, Richmond Hill Pub- lic Schools. 21 guest; Gerald Goulah.
