By MARGARET McLEAN Five-Year Forecast Slows Project “Can't we stay to see it over again?” was the question most frequently asked as parents shepherded their children out- side. It is impossible to point out any flaws in the performance of any of the actors and almost as difficult to pick a star. Gerry Crack as the Coral King, alias Billiam Bones was particularly appealing however and gave the best performance which this re- viewer has ever seen him do. Certainly, if “The Coral King" is any criterion. the group can look for a long and successful weer in Thornhill. “I Wish they’d do "The Coral King" again!» They will do it again this Sunday, and later this month it will be put on at the Sick Children’s Hospital. There has also been a suggestion that it be done at “The Poor Alex" and this would seem a good idea.

While pre-schoolers may have understood little of the story, the colorful set and fast action kept them interested for the most part, while the five to 10 year set were entranced throughout. Beth Jones made a flue, shrewish Fleurebte, while Jerry Diakiw was both comic and nasty. Joan Harold is to be con- gratulated on her endurance as the octopus, with what must have been a stifling costume. Hugo Jackson had a contagious enthusiasm for his role as the blue cat and Marqu Karu was beautifully cast as the mermaid. The play was directed by Ronald Ohudley and While no credit was given on the program for sets, those responsible should be warmly applauded. A newcomer to Richmond Hill theatre, Ian Gibson of Don Mills made a fine underdog and his triumph in the end was heartily applauded by the young viewers.

While council appeared to look with favor on the -pro- ject at that time, no final decision was taken. At the October 18 meet- ing, a by-law permitting the dump was presented to council but could not find majority support on council and was thrown out. Since that time, council‘s general purpose committee has met with the board of control, the clerk and treas- urer of Etobicoke Township to discuss the matter.

Said Deputy-reeVe Stewed Rumble: “It might be approp- riate to wait until next year, when it's not in our five-year forecast." Council agreed to recon- sider its position on the matter. Main fear of dissenting councillors at the October 18 meeting had been that Vaughan might again find trouble in enforcing its dump by-law. resulting in long drawn out and expen- sive court procedures and that garbage trucks would increase the expense of maintaining that portion of Steeles Avenue over which they are expected to travel. zoning byâ€"law to permit the dump, Etobicoke could con- ceivably agree to cease op- eration on written notice from Vaughan if it is found that Etobicoke is not oper- ating the dump in accord- ance with Vaughan’s by- laws; maintain Steeles Ave- nue from Highway 27 to Kipling Avenue; pay cer- tain sums of money to Vaughan for supervision and inspection of the prem- ises by Vaughan; and allow Vaughan to send some of its garbage to the property if it is found necessary.

Ho recalled this had originally been a single family dwelling and the owner had applied for a building permit for an attached double garage with family rooms on the second storey. The finished structure became a six- suite apartment building in an area where multiple housing is not permitted. “Although probably the most flagrant." the chairman claim- ed “This is not the only in- stance.
