It is said that the sale price for the six to seven acres was $130,- 080. The land has 450 feet frontage on Yonge Street. It is zoned as commercial. By Eiizabeth Kelson SAFETY! SAFETY! SAFETY! Our Home and School bulletin says that the schools are doing everything possible to teach our children safety, regarding walking against traffic and bicycle riding with traffic. Many of the pupils still do not abide by these rules. If these rules were explained at home by the parents there would be fewer “near” accidents involving children going to and from school. Some children do not seem to real~ ize that a car has the right-of~way on the road and when walking three and four abreast it is wise to form a single line when a car approaches. This also applies to bicycle riders. BOB HAYNES - - ANYONE FOR JUDO? Twenty-six year old Bob Haynes, 37 Idleswift Drive, Thornhill, is a Judo expert. So far he has earn- ed his black belt in Ju-Jitsu and Judo and his green belt in Karate (wrestling tricks and punches are fea- tured in this sport). How he has managed to come so far is a long story. While he was attending St. An- drew’s College in Aurora, he became so proficient in gymnastics that he wanted to take it up as a way of life. It was natural for him to turn to Defendo and Judo. Bob explained that there was a difference in Defendo and Judo. Defendo is for self-defense and Judo combines sport plus self-defense. So when he was 18 years old, he joined the Defendo Club in North Toronto under Bill Underwood, and became so skilled that he ended up as an instructor. The Saturday Evening Post carried an article, written by Richard Thruelson on the art of Defendo, and Bill Underwood and Bob Haynes were featured in the story. Bob also appeared on Tabloid with the late Dick MacDougal, and he was the subject of a short film illustrating the art of Defendo that made the rounds of the Odeon Theatres in Toronto. At the same time he was per- fecting his techniques in Judo and Karate. Bob Haynes has helped to train policemen in the art of selfdefence, from North York, Scarboro and New- market. Last spring he spent a month in Japan studying the Japanese way of life. “Japanese study judo from an early age,” he said, “and I think that’s wise. Everybody who is able, should learn how to defend themselves against bodily attack.” Bob Haynes has a burning ambition to establish a Judo Club in Richmond Hill. Until he can find suitable quarters, he works in his father’s business, the Harry Haynes General Insurance Agency. I hope you do get that club started, Bob!
