Your Legion reports that a brand new year has arrived. The year 1967 was born last Sunday and according to the calendar is scheduled to last 365 days. Its world-wide birth is especially heralded in Canada because it is also Centennial Year for all Canadians and this includes the Royal Canadian Legion. a new meaning because time is the only fixed element. An ex- ample of the inflexibility oft time can be made if we look at a perpetual calendar which tells? us that on May 10. 1869, when‘ the last spike was driven to link the transcontinental railroad. that day was a Monday. With' accuracy just as equal. the cal-1 endar will show that in the year 2027, May 10 will also fall on; a Monday, when mankind will likely be returning from a trip to the moon.

Nlne times out of ten when asked to help on some branch project, members will reply. "Sorry. but I just haven't got time." Thinking about this problem leads to some research on the meaning of time. Today. the world in which we live has be- come an age of programming by the use of computers. The pro- gramming of time has taken on Let us take a look at time, as related to you and I. On the average, eight hours are used in sleep. True. we can get up an hour earlier or go to bed an hour later. But sleep is a most precious commodity in this jet- age of tranquilizers. About two hours are required for eating, another hour. maybe a bit more if you work outside of Rich- mond Hill, goes for transporta- tion. Still another for grooming, you know those items like shav- ing, haircuts. visits to the doctor and dentist. Our total now stands at some twelve hours, time over which we have practically no control. Next comes work, our gainful employment for our daily bread.

Michael (Joe) Finnerty is also resting at home after spending six weeks flat on his back following a jspinal injury and Comrade Vic ‘Gray is another member who will be resting easy for a while following his discharge from hospital. Our best wishes also go out to Comrades Vic Bridges and Sam Taylor who spent both Christmas and New Year's in hospital and are still there. i With the arrival of every new year comes the annual ritual of collecting clues. This duty, among many others, falls upon Membership Secretary Jack San- ders. and his job could be made a great' deal easier if every member paid his annual levy on time. but unfortunately this is rarely the case and Jack is therefore required to perform some extra hopping around. This year the provincial and domin- ion command per capita tax has been increased and dues now stand at $8. with an additional 51 being levied if dues remain outstanding after March 31. New members will be required to pay an initiation fee of $10. ibetween industry and residences but unless they are properly landscaped they do not form a ‘visual separation. “In fact." the report continu- ‘ed. “the nuisance. if any, is ‘transterred from a few home Fowners to a large number of children. This may not he an ideal way to teach children, by lexample, of how to plan and 'lbuild a community." Mr. Bacon suggested it would be very desirable for the council and its planning board to set a good example “by planting at least two rows of trees at staggered spacing along at least the w-atnrlv hnllndarv of the Other New Year‘s glad tidings include a report from Auxiliary Member Gloria ‘Sullivan’ Sanâ€" ford who states the ladies have started rehearsing for their 1967 birthday show. No details are available yet. but in view of their remarkable performances in the past. and that this is Cen- tennial Year. we would like to suggest they expand their in- vited audience to include all of the residents of Richmond Hill and vicinity. We are sure that the knights at the rectangular taole of Leg- ion Court would offer complete facilities for the occasion. and might even provide a court jes- ter or two. We certainly have several, and could even throw in a couple of good fiddlers. 884-6021 Tins I “We suggested some two years Iago that a proper landscaping program be initiated forthwith on the land. The suggestion was made because trees take time to grow and cannot be planted too soon. We believe that all J‘buffer strips‘ should be planted las soon as possible." Richmond Hill Council is con- sidering passing an amending bylaw to regulate the use of land and buildings within its borders. Spurring the move were pro-‘ tests last June from the Allen- court Ratepayers Association and Gentry Crescent residents ‘over the lack of adequate buffer zones between industrial and residential properties. ‘Bulfer Zone' Problem Still Concerns CouncilI Somewhat in disagreement was a report from council‘s Planning Consultant Max Bacon who agreed the school grounds would be a spatial “separation between industry and residences Mr. Bacon suggested it would be very desirable for the council and its planning board to set a good example “by planting at least two rows of trees at staggered spacing along at least the westerly boundary of the school grounds.“ The report noted that the land between Newkirk Road and the houses in Beverley Acres, although not dealt with by the OMB. was part of the overall spacing problem. One difficulty, as touched on by Mr. Bacon, lay in the fact the Planning Act would seem to not ”give the municipality the power to ensure that the land is used for landscaping or to ensure that it is maintained." This means the municipality could stop the land being used for industrial purposes except landscaping but may not be able to force the owner to plant trees on it. An answer to the problem would be putting a provision in the bylaw making construction of buildings conditional upon planting, Mr. Bacon said. “The control is negative but is a step in the right direction. It may be possible to prohibit building on an industrial parcel unless a buffer strip is planted but once a building is up it may be difficult to ensure satisfacâ€" tory maintenance.” Grape & Raspberry-Apple Only will then likely follow. There will also have to be a concerted educational program aimed at all segments of the population.‘ from small children up, to make them aware that a beautiful en- }vironment is worth striving for and that everyone must work at it if progress is to be made." reads The amended draft‘Bylaw 1000 -â€"Where an industrial zone Garbage MODERN HEATED . . . 889-6192 Rumble Transport Refuse that cannot be placed in containers such as limbs, branches of trees, etc, may be placed out for collection but must be cut into 4 foot lengths and tied in bundles.
