The men at the plant were most helpful. lift- ing youngsters up to see things, The children were most fasc- inated with the machine which folded up the paper cartons and conveyed them out to where they were put in boxes. They were also impressed by the evident cleanliness and the en- ergy with which things were scrubbed outâ€"especially the large milk tank which was con- veniently being given a good going over. The considered opinion of my young sprout was “A dairy is a noisy place” â€"which made me not too sorry I had been unable to go on the trip! To publicize the concert, Mrs. G‘ S.

H SIMS For Square The proposed plan was out- lined on four maps. several sets of which were posted about the auditorium. These maps illus- trated the four parts of the plan. namely, land use. com- munity plans in the residential areas, a roads plan of the major road systems and a development plan which relates only to the two urban areas, the one in the south-west corner of the town- ship and the Unionville area. Mr. Forrest emphasized that what was being pre- sented was an overall, broad, general plan for the whole township and that they were not at present dealing with the urban areas and the villages. More de- tailed plans would be pre- pared and submitted to the board and to the public for these areas. The map devoted to land use showed some eight types of land use. Urban-residential develop- ment included single family dwellings. apartments, schools. parks, public utilities, retail and service stores. Community-com- mercial areas permitted retail commercial buildings, profes- sional offiices, places of enter- tainment. etc. Highway front- age usage, proposed only for Unionville and in the south- west corner of the township, permitted such commercial uses as oifices. showrooms, motels. hotels and other uses catering to motorists, as well as some ‘apartment sites. Land desig- nated as major open spaces. was to be publicly owned land. Prior. to the development of parks on these sites. they will be per-' mitted to be developed for en-‘ ‘tertainment as golf courses, etc. ‘ The second map of the set was titled the “community plan" and dealt with the two urban areas and the rural-resident or village areas. This map was an outline of official objectives, stated Mr. Forrest and estab- lished the number or commer- cial establishments, schools, parks. open spaces, churches which would be required. The south-west corner of the town~ ship where most of the urban area was concentrated has been divided into Thornhlll 1. ex- tending from Yonge Street to Rural - residential area: are located around such centres as Victoria Square. Locust Hill, Gormley and such. Land desig- nated for rural use could be used for purposes of agriculture and anything incidental thereto. These areas would also be avail- able for such uses as golf course, public swimming areas, and in- stitutional uses. Mr. Forrest emphasized that measurements and boundaries of these are-as were not precise on the maps as the plan was not a zoning document but a docu- ment of general policy. Community Plan Industrial areas permitted manufacturing and storage oper- ations, as well as service sta- tions. offices. etc. Lands desig- nated for institutional use would be devoted to such things as cemeteries, golf courses, air- ports. hospitals.

Theme of the revue. presented each year by the boys’ and girls’ athletic assoda‘tion‘s was the roaring twenties, and the aud- itorium was colourfully decor- ated with murals depicting the twenties. while the costumes of the performers were also in keeping. Funniest spot in the Show was the final number entitled “Masks and Wigs" where some nine school stalwarts pranced about in female garb and form- fid a lively Charleston chorus ne.

The gross population density, Mr. Forrest pointed out, estab- lishes the type of area it will be. In North Bayview No. 2, the Bayview Glens area, the population density will be eight “We have tn be realistic." answered Mr. Forrest.

Mulholland, SAND â€" GRAVEL 1 GEN. HAULAGE i GARDEN SUPPLIES Musical interludes were pro- vided throughout the show by the Barbershop Quartette, Dave Rutherford. Bruce Clark, Dave Iverson and Avo Kittask. accom- panied at the piano by Judy Nicholls, and by a lively jazz combo who call themselves the Continentals. These were King- sley Butler, Dave Agg, Tom Joyce. Glen Cooper, Ava Kit- task. Glen Moffat, Dennis Buck-‘ ingham and Dave Kennedy. This talented and enthusiastic group of young musicians struck up the band between numbers and livened things up to such an extent that one exuberant young lady at the back of the hall was compelled at one point to break out into a perform- ance of the ubiquitous twist. The gay backdrop and art work was after a design by Mrs. Trott (but I wonder if she ap- preciated the thanks the pro- gram notes give her for “ad- vice on the theme“; she couldn't have first-hand knowledge of the twen‘tlesl). Mr. Lazar train- ed the Barbershop Quutette: and the unqualified success of the whole affair was due in large part to "a host of other willing helpers" as the pro- gram put it, too numerous to mention. The secondary plan for Thornhill 1 and 2 is already prepared and public meet- ings to discuss it will be held in the next few weeks, Mr. Forrest stated. There was some dissatisfac- tion expressed by those attend- ing the meeting that it had not been well enough publicized and that the audience had been al- most encouraged to leave before the question period, by holding a ten-minute recess prior to it. Mr. Forrest pointed out that each neighbourhood would re- quire A secondary plan before it could be developed. except for part of the south-west cor~ ner where land has already been released for development. There would be other public meetings for each secondary plan. Secondary plans will go into more detail. will show more uses, more collector roads and will be on a larger scale. and will be followed by zoning plans. be far fewer buildings. Industrial The industrial areas pro- vided for in the plan follow very closely the present in- dustrial areasâ€"one in Rich- vale. two in Langstafi. one in Thornles-Green Lane area. a large area. divided into four sections in the Don Mills Road section. one It Gormley. a small new area south of Unionville. a small industrial area at MountJOy and at Milliken. Total land designated for industrial use is 3.171 acres. The map showing the road plans was not new. Mr. Forrest stated. but had been in effect for six or seven years. it show- ed roads varying in width from 66 feet to 120 feet and showed proposed intersection improve- ments. No definite time was in- dicated for the roads plan. but roads would be developed as ineeded and in accordance with ‘the township‘s ability to acquire them. “Development Plan" The fourth map in the group was called a “development plan” and indicated the staging of the urban and residential develop- ment. The plan does not at- tempt to forecast the timing of the development, but each stage is dependent on the substantial completion of the prior stage. The releasing of land for the various stages will depend on the maintainence of a satisfac- tory industrial-residential ratio and adequate municipal water and sewage disposal facilities to permitthe stage. And if anyone is inclined to get a little depressed about the state of the world these days. just let him go to one of these high school productions: no-one could help but be impressed by the tremendous enthusiasm shown by these youngsters as well as the determin- ntion and Just plain hard work which was evidenced on every hand. With these fine young people on their way up. no-one should be depressed about the future! 80 Richmond St. West.
