Dear Mr; Editor:â€" Thank you for your exâ€" cellent editorial regarding the dumping problem in Vaughan Township. We need more publicity and opposition to this situ~ atlon. We certainly don't want Vaughan Township to become the garbage disposal unit for Metro. a school is measured to some extent in the eyes of the majority of rate- payers by the average success of students in the upper grades and especially in grade 13. . . . It would be interesting to know how many wrote the exams, how many were honor students and how many passed regardless of the individual percent age marks." The editorial concludes. “If this is a policy set down by the Ontario De- partment of Education, it is time the Hon. William Davis looked into the matter and gave those who pay the shot some information for their money.” Certainly those who pay the shot, should know what they are getting for their money. As we understand it, the decision not to publish grade 13 results was made by individual school boards at the suggestion of the Ontario Secondary School Head- masters’ Council, a body which is said to represent about 85% of high school principals in Ontario. Red Tape And Traffic Lights We continue to support this cause and hope others will also. We? cannot help being in sympathy with some of these ideas. The principals feel that publishing grade 13 results could embarrass some students (those who didn’t work hard enough presumably) and could lead to misunderstandings in cases where students had been taking Being a taxpayer in the Township of Vaughan, and being particularly concerned with the traffic conditions on Keele Street. by virtue of the fact that our company is located on Kee‘le Street, I must congratulate you on the excellent editorial which ap- peared in last week's Lib- eral. “Education today is the most im- portant and most expensive item on the tax bill, so it goes without saying that all taxpayers have the right to know how the students (and teach- ers), fare in the particular school to which their tax money isdiverted. Rightlyr or wronglyhthe standard of Dear Mr. Editor;â€" ' Considerable dissatisfaction has resulted, both here and elsewhere, from the decision not to make avail- able to the public the results of grade 13 examinations this year. In- stead, only the names of honor stud- ents were released. m'Ehe editor of the “Newmarket Era and Express” had this to say: Layers of red tape are evidently the only barrier to the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Steeles Ave- nue West, known locally as “Killer Corner”. Four levels of government are involved in the attempt to do something to remedy conditions at this busy intersection located on the santhern border of Vaughan Town- 8 1p. I have not directly been informed of the actions of council, but I am amazed at North York Township has juris- diction over the south side of Steeles, while Vaughan controls the northern half of the road. The Department of Highways has jurisdiction over Bathurst Street north of Steel‘es and Metro over Bathurst south of Steeles. Metro traffic officials have agreed to recommend installation of the necessary lights if the other authori- ties involved are willing to pay a proâ€" portion of the total cost. Vaughan and the highways department would each pay a quarter of the costs, while Metro would pay half. Although Vaughan and the department have verbally agreed to the installation, they have yet to commit themselves to an annual power and maintenance Angry Vaughan Residents Demand Immediate End To Metro Dumping "STOP METRO DUMPING" JAMES HODGSON MAPLE LION‘S CLUB Past President THE L Yours truly LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Should Reveal Grade 13 SIaIistics An Independent 03132 liberal the lack of action from Vaughan Township Council. after repeated delegations of taxpayers before them.

The York Central District High School Board has indicated that it will make this information available to the press and the public later this month and we look forward with interest to receiving it. We do insist, however, that this should not be used as a means to conceal from the public the stand- ards that are being achieved by any particular school. Complete statis- tical results should be published for every school, including number of students who wrote each particular examination, numbers of passes, fail- ures and honor students and average marks obtained, etc. Ratepayers will then be in a pos- ition to see how wisely or otherwise their money has been invested and compare the results with other high school districts. m-..c-_a-,, However, if Ontario high school principals feel differently and the school boards are in agreement with them, we will not quarrel with the decision.

This situation is a unique example of government red tape and bureauc- racy. The traffic Iights are needed â€" no one will dispute the fact â€"- but the problem is to get the four jurisdictions involved to find comâ€" mon ground on which the project can be completed. Admittedly such problems of joint responsibility don’t arise too often but when they do there should be some easy way to resolve differences. In areas of joint jurisdiction the sen- ior level of government could be charged with the responsibility of giving leadership in arriving at an agreement. Any delay in getting the traffic lights in operation will only help to confirm the suspicions of many people that our governments move too slowly and are overburdened with red tape and protocol. A quick solution to such problems should be found at once. ing We are proud of the name Maple.

Some of the information in this travel guide coincides with that of other studies on our tenth province, but the firstâ€"hand View of the country that Dorothy Henderson gives in her book is enjoy- able. She takes you right along with her. Whether the author explores the life of a town, travels the Newfoundland train, studies the lumbering or fishing industry, revels in the scenic beauty of the island, admires the bird life, or becomes acquainted with the eccentricities of the Islanders, she meets each experience with senses and heart wide open. Her rich impressions have been written into the pages of “The Heart of Newfoundland” with such a gaiety and bonhomie that any would be traveller, actual or armchair, would enjoy it. It is a privilege to announce that Dorothy Hend- erson of King has a fourth book published. “The Heart of Newfoundland” tells of her travels there While accompanied by her educator husband, Douglas Henderson, who supplied the tasteful illustrations. Newfoundlanders will rel‘sh these chapters so descriptive of their native l d and readers could well lose many of their former misconceptidns about our tenth province by reading this delightful travel guide. (The Heart of Newfoundland by Dorothy Hender- son, published by Harvest House Limited, 1364 Greene Avenue, Montreal 6, P.Q. Price $2.00 paper. $3.50 cloth edition.) Dorothy Henderson says she writes for two equally important reasons. “I love writing,” she says, “am never so happy as when I’m writing. I think I have things to say that are important.” 7 7 The things she wishes to say have to do with the inter-relationships with people with different backgrounds, different temperaments and different vocations. These things, she says, have been said well by professionals for their various fields of inter- est. It is chiefly to the non-professional that she addresses herself as she maintains we are all laymen in fields other than our own. Rambling around “I like to do the emotional creative part of writing in the early morning,” she said. “Long hours of routine writing have to be sandwiched into spaces of time stolen from housework, family obli- gations or community work. The latter is more im- portant than writing. Sometimes I think that writing is a pleasant form of escape.

Dear Mr. Editor:â€" I am making these com- ments assuming that your feature writer has not mis- quoted the facts and theories as expounded to him by the Rev. gentleman. Reasons for their popu- larity are their low cost (about $250 to $400), their fantastic mileage (200 miles or more to the gallon), and their cheap insurance rates (about $25). A young driver can buy a lightweight motorcycle for little more than the price First. judging from his background as outlined in the article I'm willing to concede him the fact that he likely has had four times as much education as Grand- pa, but I think he was short changed on grey matter. Popularity of lightweight motorcycles, particularly with young people, is quite evident around this area. of the insurance alone on a car and raising the money to keep it on the road pres- ents no problem.

One boy had a shattered leg and knee and a ruptur- ed spleen, which had to be removed. After the op- eration his kidneys ceased to function and he had to be kept alive in an arti- ficial kidney machine. Slnce it takes two weeks after vaccination for anti- bodies to develop. it would be wise. they add. for im- munization to be started well ahead of the time the disease hits the community. A 17-year-old had bad leg and knee fractures and un- explained bleeding within the abdomen. His 16-year- old passenger had two leg fractures. A common injury in motorcycle accidents is a skull fracture. Crash hel- mets reduce the chance of head injury by 30 to 40 percent, Dr. Barlett claims, but many helmets are badly designed. He said that in one test in the United Kingdom, 10 out of 21 types of helmets failed to pass. Dr. Bartlett said that the use of properly designed helmets â€" padded around the periphery as well as sprung on webbing â€" should be made compulsory. New Zealand passed such a law and cut its fatal acci- dents from '72 to 37' the first year, he reported. France and Luxembourg have similar laws. Secondly, the article di- vulges that he used to teach grade 8 children in Prince Edward County which he for- sook as they left him with a feeling quote "that there was much more to life than spending his days trying to impart some form of knowâ€" ledge to this rustic band of guerillas" unquote. After all this little group of grade 8 children which he refers to as “rustic guerillas" were created in the image of God the same as himself and you can’t convince me that they deserve the label he gives them. Personally, I think the challenge was too great for him. these theological hot shots are trying to dress it up so much that the youth of to- day can't recognize it, as a religion. I wish him every success in his new endeavours in Richmond Hill and I hope in the future that he has more success with the youth in Richmond Hill than he had with the grade 8 children (guerrillas) in Prince Edward County.
