u; um uuguiul wmcn uealt wun North Yonge Street. Mrs. Van Den Hoek decided she would read a book from the Canadian Centenary series, so she could better understand Quebec. "Quebec: Revolutionary Age. 1760-1791" by H. M. Neat- by was her choice. Although the book does not offer any solutions for today’s problems, she found life along the St. Lawrence very interesting in- deed. The British sent generals as governors but the task of governing was almost impos- sible: The seigneurs had more in common with the British merchants than with the Canad- lens. There were so many kinds of money in circulation that business was done by barter. The laws Were confused and there was no backlog to refer to. There were many quarrels with the church. All in all, the system of the generals created relatively humane administra- tions and Mrs. Van Den Hoek quoted from an article in Mac- lean's Magazine, “Individually, French Canadians are charm- ing: collectively. they need a good kick in the pants".

STOUFFVILLE: When both Jack VanKoughnet of this vil- lage. charged with careless driving, and his lawyer failed to appear in Richmond Hill Court recently, Magistrate Rus- sell G.

Two other charges against the same man of dangerous and careless driv- ing. laid by Port Perry Police. are also pending. a King Township’s Canine Con- trol Officer Walter Lowe spent a half-day in King City recently and apparently caught no dogs running at large, it was report- ed at the January 23 village trustee’s meeting. It was also reported that a whole pack of dogs had accompanied the child- ren on their way to school past the municipal offices the day before. , l Control Officer Catches No Dogs However. giving the fund a more direct boost, were presentations during the evening by the Oak Ridges Minor Hockey League and Lions Club, which com- bined to buy $1,000 worth of shares, and Oak Ridges Holy Name Society, which also combined with the Lions to invest $750 in the fund. Other events planned by the organization are an art and fashion show at the Summit Golf and Country Club. Jefferson, some- time this month, plus an- other dance in April. one of four planned for the year. Their efforts, plus other recent sales, have put the fund over the $12,000 mark. Oak Ridges Community Arena Fund' is still a few dollars away from its $150,000 objective, but its second annual President’s Ball. held at the Lions Hall in Richmond Hill recently helped to swell the coffers considerably. Gordon Achilles. treas- urer of the fund. which is selling shares for the new arena at $1 apiece, said that more than 200 people attended the dance. which included a wine and cheese tasting party, and contribâ€" uted toward the general expenses of the fund. “The Liberal" is always pleased to publish items of interest regarding people and events in the Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts.

He stated that King Township has little to of- fer any industry â€"â€" no serviced industrial sites, no labor pool and no housing for workers in industry, “but this would be a start. at least. The assessment proposals are contained in the assessment manual issued by Queen's Park and adopted by York County Council in 1964. However. the manual has since had numer- ous amendments as well as sev-} eral pages deleted so that only future tax bills will show farm- ers just how their land is being‘ assessed. . The councillor’s statement followed reading of a letter from the Central Ontario Regional Development Council which stated an industry from western Canada was seeking a site in the CORDA Region for a ware- house. Reeve Gordon Cook rev fer-red the letter to Councillor Rowe, who is chairman of the township’s industrial commis- sion, with a chuckle. “People with big estates don't want to be in the centre of an industrial area," he warned as he strengethened his argument for a designated area. “Every- body wants industry until it goes next door to them."
