. . . . . . SPORT SPOTS... (Continued From Page 8) There‘ll be plenty for everyone to do so don't be bash; ful when the call goes out. You’ll really be needed! â€"- SPORT SPOTS â€" This year of 1962 is almost all gone, but a few fond memories of the year are still left. One of the biggest thrills of the year for us was seeing a batter- ed, hurting Indian football team dig in on a muddy gridiron to win the first Metro Rugby Football Union championship ever to come to Richmond Hill. This was one day that will stay green in memory for a long, long time! The ladies also helped to make 1962 a good year on the local sporting scene. Richmond Heights Centre Ladies were entered in the East York Ladies’ Soft- ball League. Nobody gave them much of a chance but somehow the girls kept plugging away and went on to win the league title. They deserved a really big “A” for efl’ort. Ron McAndrews and his juvenile girls’ team, the Mic Macs. gave a lot of softball fans more than a little something to cheer about and will do as much in the coming year. The Kent Clothes Whiz Kids played a wide open, free wheeling style of softball that was never dull. Pitcher Larry Guio got the thrill of his young life and had spectators on the edge of their seats by hurling a no-hit no-run game against Newmarket. We’ll remember that one for a week or two! While we‘re at it don’t let’s overlook all the hock- ey played in the Hill over the year. The Senior Hock- ey League provided action and thrills galore through- out the season and they are still at it as 1962 draws nigh to 1963. Minor hockey teams, both all-star and house league players engaged in some fierce hockey battles. Thrilled and proud parents watched their favourite boy as he gave his all and learned to be a team player. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, hockey executives gave of their sweat and time to make run- ning a league for 800 boys look almost easy. And thatAis a highly qualified “almost”. High school athletes ran, wrestled, threw, jump- ; ed. knocked heads playing football and sprained ank- les on basketball courts. Tennis players. lawn bowlers, . five pin bowlers. curlers, ardent ten-pin bowlers and others gave their favorite game their best shot. The Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club came up with a lavish ice production and badminton players smashed ‘ birdies to their heart’s content. Although this was not the best year in their history. Vern Dynes’ Jeweller softball team provided entertainment for a good many hundreds of people. The stunned look on the face of Skip DeGeer, when he was awarded the Most Valuable Player Award at the end of the season. was a study in bewilderment. For once Skip was virtually speechless and that was an event in itself. Taking a look back has proved to us that it was a most interesting year. There’s not a reason in the world to doubt that 1963 will be even better. If any- one was missed we can only plead that the human memory has been known to dim with age. To each and every one of you a mo_st happy and yery prosperous New Year! You all deserve it! Mrs. Hermansen,whui past lecretary-treasurer of the West York Women‘s Institute, asked Mr. Jones "what group of people should be instru- mental in planning the com- munity and should there be people of various professions on such a committee?" Mr. Jones replied that “he didn‘t think our present system of organizing for planning is ef- fective at all. It's an Ameri- can import and like some other American imports, it's not very good. Wherein we have the attitude we don't trust politicians to do the planning, we have to keep planning out of politics. is rather an immature notion in our state of the nation today. Consequently. we set up plan- ning boards who hire profes- Iionals to prepare the plans and the planning board rec< ommending the plans to the elected council, who are real- ly responsible for them in the first place, and hope that the council will adopt them and pay the bills for them. But not really knowing whether we are going to do it or not. I would re-organ- ize that. i think a group of professionals who are direct- ly responsible to council with a strong citizens' group. such as yours. acting as a general advisory group thinking ab- Mr. Jones stated in the be- ginning that “the rate of ur- ban growth here is relative bo that across the country â€" not only in this country, but the same all over the world. We are now getting close to about two-thirds of our pop- ulation in those urban areas.” (By Mrs. Raymond Stuart) Mrs, Jack Snider. who is a member of the Edgeley Wom- en’s Institute, joined several other members of the Federâ€" ated Women’s Institute of Ontario when they formed a panel to discuss a few mat- ters that are uppermost in people’s minds in this and adjoining areas these days. On the panel were Mrs. Gerald' Holder, secretary- treasurer F.W.I.O., Mrs. John Hermansen, Mrs. Leo Wat- son, Mrs. J. Sherman, Mrs. H. MacKay. Mrs, Dickson. Mrs Miller and Mrs. Snider. They quizzed Murray Jones. urban and regional consul- tant on a recent "Thursday Club", CBC TV program. Mr. Jones is a former plan- ning commissioner on the Metro Planning Board and at present is a town planning consultant in Toronto. The panel members were concerned with the matters of diverting good farm land into sprawling housing and industrial sites and allowing speculators to build up miles of heartless suburbs. Whet- ther there are advantages in the rapid urban spread and whether there are dangers when this spread is uncon- trolled. District Ladies Discuss Urban Planning Mrs. Miller's problem was titude toward community life that. why, when a subdivis- and it is difficult to get them ion is being built, cannot the out. even to vote. "It is not services, such as sewers gas, a problem that is unique etc., be all put in at one with the people who are mov- time instead of having to rip mg from the city to Rich- wp the streets and roads ev- mond Hill. I don't know the ery year or so to put in these â€"â€"-â€"-~â€"â€"â€"â€"J services. "They normally are in new subdivisions" Mr. Jones stated. "Most munici- palities that are at all organ- ized have subdivision agree- ments which do provide for this. It is in the older devel. opments where it is not pos- sible to provide the level of services required when the development started.“ The tearing up streets, etc. must then be done in order to bring the whole more up-to-date.

Mrs. Watson lives in Wood- bridge, and being on the boundary of Metro, annexa- tion is a big word in Wood- bridge these days It is on everybody's tongue and she was concerned about the ef- fect it would have on their educational system. Mr. Jones said that “As I under- stand it. once a village reach- es a certain population, the grant system changes. If annexation were the only is- sue where there is a growth of population. it is going to pass that mark where the grant changes in any event. with or without annexation. So the issue is not the ques- tion of annexation per se. The issue is “should there be a different form for mak- ing grants, rather than the arbitrary one that is now in existence which says when you pass a certain population mark. you change the grants! Surely it should be based on some other need regardless whether it is a village, town or city of particular popula- tion." out the general problems of the community would make a good combination." ,,,; Mrs. Snider was concerned about the Niagara fruit belt. The increased value of prop- erty has brought higher tax- es, making it difficult for the fruit grower to continue in the production of fruit. “Is there any assistance given to the fruit grower to help him continue?" Mrs. Snider want- ed to know. Mr. Jones re- plied that there was none that he knew of. There are whole systems of price sup- ports in the agricultural in- dustry but he didn't know that it applies to Niagara.

Our green belt is really the rural areas surrounding the urban area, privately owned, on the whole. The only public green belt that I can foresee in most of our areas is the cre- ation of large conservation areas by conservation author- ities. I would like to see more green belts of a pro- vincial park nature brought closer to urban areas rather than all urban people having to travel 200 or 300 miles in order to get to them. create green belts. The greatest green belt, perhaps. we have in Metro Toronto is the vast area of land acquir- ed by speculators and left ldle. There is only one legal green belt in Canada. Legal Mrs. Dickson was concern- ed about how a sufficient water supply was going to be kept with the building up of subdivisions and the low- ering of the water level in rural areas. Mr. Jones said he "realizes this is a serious problem for many areas. Most municipalities hire companies which go about finding and testing for water. Small areas that once grew slowly were able to find wat- er supplies individually. But this is no longer possible. It is a lesson we have learned. We simply must find com- munal water supplies for even some of the smaller areas. Financially it is very difficult, but very essential." ,Mrs. MacKay couldn't un- derstand why it is that the majority of people moving into the metropolitan area have such an impersonal at- titude toward community life and it is difficult to get them out. even to vote. "It is not a problem that is unique with the people who are mov- ing from the city to Rich- mond Hill. I don’t know the 248, Terry Meraska 245, Ken Clubine 243. Pat Jones 233.

This is true, unfortunately. of a vast part of the population, of their complete disinterest. There is another aspect too. When they move out to a new house. they are lucky if the sod is down on the lawn, they have three children and a limited income and a high mortgage. They are so wrap- ped up with immediate con- cerns, which never seem to end â€" they all seem to pile up â€"â€" I wonder how they really find time to do any- thing." Mrs. Watson. getting back to the subject of education. said that “if we have to build some new schools. which we no doubt will, as you know. architects‘ fees are so very very high. wouldn't it be feasible to have a set of plans which would be general for schools? Then a school board could go to these plans without having to hire an architect every time it is necessary to build a new school." Mr. Jones thought her point was most mis - directed. "The basic thing is the cost of the classroom. and the architect can help make the cost less, and he can help make it more, and the school board which has the final say can help too. “But I would hate to see every school in Ontario look alike. But with six plans. for example, and the schools separated by a few miles. it might be all right.” The panel members wished to know if there is any way land speculators could be forced to rent the land at a reasonable rate to farmers in suburban areas so that crops could be produced on them instead of them just growing rubbish as at present in so many areas.

When asked to comment on a quotation by Norman Pearson. “The joint planning areas in Ontario's metropoli- tan centres have not worked. Whether by the attempted ef- fective action. they have either been destroyed or have collapsed because their con- stituent municipalities have seen in their logical plans for proper land use, a means by which assessment might be diverted to other centres," and how can the co-operation of constituent municipalities be obtained or can it be ob- tained? Mr. Jones had this to say: "No, not under our system of taxation and dis- tribution. This is so basic to the ability to plan that it is right at the root of it and I do not think it can be solved through any kind of co-oper- ation. Fact of the matter is. you've got a situation which can only be changed by pro- vincial legislation."
