A welcome visitor at the home of the George Kelsons Centre Street last week was son Sandy home for Easter vacation from Ottawa Teachers College. Sandy has achieved his education in a unique way. satisfying at the same time an evident urge to travel. He got his grade 10 at Thornhill High School and then joined the army. While with the army in British Columbia he took grades 11 and 12. Lacking languages. however. he took a year’s leave of absence from the army and attended M-eister-i schat't College in Toronto and} picked these up. Back in the1 army. stationed at Petawawa, he somehow wangled a job which allowed ‘him four days a week free and attended Pemâ€" broke Collegiate where he took grade 13 last year. Resigning from the army he has used his accumulated army pay to sup- ‘port himself in Ottawa this past winter while attending the tea- chem college there. Congratul- ations Sandy! That's one way of having your cake |and eating it too, but I’ll bet it all added up to a lot of hard work. Mrs. J. T.

Mrs. Rid-1 dell was both pleased and touch- ed by this tribute on her 85th anniversary. The party was ar- ranged and prepared by Mrs. Verna Pollock, and Mrs Mabel Bedford: the lovely cake was baked by a neighbour, Mrs. D. J.

After the party we asked her what she did on her birthdays on the farm. “Nothing special" she said, “there were eight of us. ‘five boys and three girls, and I don’t remember any celebra- tions”. “What about presents?” “There were no presents either‘ We had very few toys. and most of them were home made.

CARRVILLE On a 100 foot lot with an nssessment of $3,000 this would come to approxim- ately $25.45 frontage tax. $24.00 on an Iver-age water consumption md $21.00 mill levy, making I total of $70.45 per year. In discussing the proposed plan. Mr. Miklas stated that the extension of the water tower there just south of No. 7 High- way would stabilize the pres- sure internally. This point was chosen as tihe best location engineering wise. being the highest point of the land. The main on Don Mills was for the use of the industrial area. This would attract industry which would in turn cut the rate. “You are asking the taxpay- ers of this area to pay seven mil‘ls on their taxes now and they may not. get the water for ten years", objected one ratepayer. Mr. Mildas contradicted this and stated that if the area south of No. 7 Highway on Don Mills Road was not zoned com- mercial in the near future, the whole water services plan would be scrapped. i (A meeting to discuss this industrial zoning had inadvertently been called for the same night and was taking place in the Municâ€" ipal building. It is prob- able that a proportion of the audience had intended going to the zoning meetingr instead. As a result there were leSs than 20 people at the zoning meeting and i no objections were raised to the industrial zoningr of ‘ ‘ the land south of No. 7 i ‘ Highway on Don Mills [ Road.) ' When asked directly just how long would be after the lzoning plan is passed that water would be provided. Mr. Miklas {refused to say definitely, al- though he indicated that the plan called for its being done during 1962-63 and 1964. “We are selling you this serv- ice whloh belongs to others in another part of the township” stated Deputy Reeve Lawson Mumberson. “We have to go back to the No. 1 Area and sell them on the idea. They have enough water and will have to pay two mills extra to let you in this water area” he continu- ed, pointing out that the rate- payers in the original water area had paid extra mills for several years before they got water. “Icf the industrial area does not go through. water is 10 or 15 years away for you. If they turn it down. you are out of luck" he stated.

"It is up to you if you want water or not. There will be a hearing on this" he con- tinued. Mr. Hooper stated that there were all kinds of pros- pects for the industrial land. The water might cost. 10 mills or it might cost 4 or 5. “Every Reeve Dean was then invited to address the meeting and stated that he had just come from the meeting on the zoning by-law and that all the rate- payers were in favour of going ahead with the plan. A repre- sentative of Esna Electric had attended the meeting and signi- fied the intention of the firm to erect a factory of 20,000 sq. ft on two or three acres of land. Another enquiry had been received about building a 45,000 sq. ft. plant in the area. Reeve Dean stated that the planning board was very happy at the reception of the plan. Although there were several objections to the water area plan. mainly because the in- creased mill rate would be paid for several years before the water was in. the majority of the ratepayers seemed in fav- our. “l have all the water I want. but for the benefit of the whole locality. I will vote in favour of having the water", stated one gentleman and was greeted with applause. Mr.â€" Hooper also reminded the audience that when the water goes by their‘drorors, their Councillor Sumner advised that the ratepayers would be advised of the municipal board hearing on the question, and the meeting then adjourned.

Rock The Cradle Rule The World Women are interested in everything, includ- ing public affairs (and if you are running for polo itical office their interest and support are absol- utely essential). At the moment, with a federal election in the offing, women are vitally concern- ed about national politics. William Ross Wallace, otherwise unknown, made this statement more than 100 years ago, long before women achieved the vote. How much truer it is today! Women have a very special interest in soc- ial security, which was "almost invented” by the Liberal Party in Canada. It will be greatly im- proved and extended when that party is again elected to govern. YORK HURT” But women are also interested in jobs for their men . and often for themselves . . . and are therefore interested in the national economy. They are interested in trade, which makes jobs. They are interested in the farm living, farm prices and farm conditions. They are interested in suburban living and commuter problems. All these things, and Canada’s place inthe world, are also the interests of John Addison. With support of both women and men voters he can join a. Liberal government that will do what is necessary to improve existing welfare meas- ures and institute new ones and improve the eo- onomy generally. Liberals believe in making your home, your suburb, your county and your nation a better place in which to live. John Addison represents the federal Liberal Party in your constituency.
