functions, without which our present system could not function. But in themselves they do not make the office essential, for they could be transferred, if the constitution were changed. the ceremonial. But they should not obscure the new and vital functions of the Governor-General as a leader among Canadians, a leader with a unique opportunity to serve the country. R. P. Milligan, chairman of the Ontario Police Commission, states it will spell out clearly the rights police officers have when they are accused of mis- conduct by their superiors and what appeals are open to them. ll‘llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“lllllllllulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\lll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'F Manor Mem bers Bring Cheer To Residents The chilling lack of response from the provincial government in the face of inexorably increasing municipal tax rates, throwing as they do such a burden on the small home owner, is becoming increasingly hard to under- stand. During the past year the auxiliary took residents on bus trips from June 1 through September, with a trip in October to visit an apple orchard and one in December to see Christmas lights. Mirrors were placed in each room of the normal care section. 63 in all. 18 stacking tables were provided for the use of residents. a 100-year-old resident was entertained on her birthday and celebrations were ar- ranged for a golden wedding and a 70th wedding anniver- sary. With a membership 'of 41. the auxiliary brings com- forts. entertainment and ser- vices to residents which of- ficials of the home are un- able to provide. The 165 residentsof York Manor Home -for the Aged have found many friends and received many small comforts from members of the very active York Manor Auxiliary. a report of its Work for the past year indi- cates. I»; Once again word is coming back of rising mill rates in the surrounding areas - 9.75 mills increase in Metro, 7.2 at Newmarket. Equally disturb- ing jumps are expected in 1967 mill rates closer to home. Complaints of rising municipal tax rates were heard throughout the 1950’s, increasingly during the 1960’s and probably the nrovincial govern- ment is just as tired listening to them as the local municipalities are airingr them once more. Coming events include an open house at the manor. Yonge Street at Eagle SL, It seems to us that the time for action has come. It is true that individual communâ€" ities have made sporadic attempts to deal with the problem, one by firing a policeman, one by cutting down the number of high school teachers, one not buying any school sites for a year. The Borough of York has atâ€" tempted to ease the burden on pen- sioners by makingr their properties eligible for a rebate of up to $100 on the education portion of the tax bill. All these are at best however, stop- gap and piecemeal solutions. Some Have you ever tried to explain to an American the functions of Cana- da’s Governor-General? Although realizing that he plays an important role in Canadian life, it is difficult for the average Canadian to enumer- ate and evaluate the duties perform- ed by the holder of this office. As a new incumbent begins his service to the country, it might be well to consider the very real part he will play in the life of the nation. The office of Governor-General has now existed for a century. It is an important office, and under the present constitution an essential office. Its effectiveness in the future will depend on how its func- tions are interpreted by Canadians. Many of the duties of the office are the same as they were a century ago: formal, ceremonial, essential only because the constitution says they are. But in the last 15 years something new has been added to the picture â€" unofficial, intangible, yet making the office essential. The seed for this development was plant- ed by Lord Tweedsmuir (John Buchan) during his tenure of office and has grown and flourished under the encouragement and initiative of Their Excellencies Vincent Massey and George Vanier. We are all well aware that the Governor-General is the representa- tive of the Queen. He fulfills her duties in Canada. granting royal con- sent which gives formal existence to decisions made by Parliament. He opens and dissolves Parliament. gives and gets advice in meetings with the Prime Minister. These are essential functions, without which our present system could not function. But in themselves they do not make the office essential, for they could be transferred, if the constitution were changed.

While admittedly this is a time consuming and expensive process and one which would inevitably disrupt the provision of proper school facil- ities and services to children, it may be that some courageous municipal council will be forced into such a dis- tasteful step in order to wake up provincial authorities. Of course a much more positive and less destructive step would be for the people of the province to elect at the forthcoming provincial election a government which will not only give sympathetic hearing to the mun- icipalities but will actively assist them. by lifting more of the burden of education costs from real estate and spreading them over a broader basis. We are sure that the electorate will examine closely the programs of the various parties to learn how they propose to deal with this widespread and deepening emergency. ' The Governor-General acts as head of state, presiding at national cere- monies, receiving representatives of other countries and acting as the embodiment of the nation. These are essential functions also, but again do not make the office essen- tial, since they could be transferred. Since 1952 the office has become a sort of focal. oint for a national awareness. An ther respected Cana~ dian has just assumed the office, his predecessors having“ brought it to the people while retaining the dignity and influence inherited from the past. The result is that it is now a truly Canadian institution, playing a vital part in building the national unity that is imperative if Canada is to survive. The head of state is divorced from politics and can com- mand the respect of every Canadian regardless of political affiliation. This is a truly vital function that the governor-general must fulfill in Canada. It is one to which His Excellency Roland Miehener, the third Canadian to hold the office, has pledged himself. It is a func- tion uniquely suited to the authority and influence which has grown up around the post, a function that could not be performed from any other office. particularly not from an elect- ed one. The pomp and circumstance which surrounded the Governor-General in 1867 are still there. They should continue, if only for their ceremonial value in a world which still loves the color, pageantry and magnificence of the ceremonial. But they should not obscure the new and vital functions of the Governor-General as a leader among Canadians, a leader with a unique opportunity to serve the country. IS. artifiâ€" 478-4184.

Queensville. 1967 Once I heard an American television personality say about the CBC. “You’re lucky to have such a broadcasting system. It’s one of the best in North America. Be thankful for it.” I think we ought to be. A] Harris, Henderson Avenue, Thornhill, is one of CBC’s finest studio musicians. He is also the featured guitarist on all the CBC concert parties. He tells me that one of the latest efforts of CBC, and a special Centennial project for this year has been a nation-wide song writing contest devised to promote the composing talents of Canadians. Al -Was fortunate to Ahavevone of his musical composi- tions with lyrics by Jean Folkin, one of the 32 selected out of 3,000 entries. It is a real shame that CB‘C’s “Canada Enter- tains” doesn’t get more recognition. We should be a lot more enthusiastic about our Canadian talent in all fields. It is not a small thing for top perform- ers. directors. announcers and technicians to go to Canadian Forces and their technical personnel wherever they may be. From where we sit. it looks glamorous, exciting and adventurous, but the other side is downright discomfort, discouraging and often dangerous. “CBC co-operates with the Department of Na- tional Defense, and the organizing genius and origina- tor of “Canada Entertains” is Ken Dalziel of Willow- dale. New Provincial Code To Stress The Rights Of Municipal Police Ken has been putting this show on the road for seven years as CBC’s producer and supervisor of light entertainment. The concert party is a regular feature in conjunction with the Department of National Defense. A new code of discipline is being prepared for police in On- tario. Rambling Around Al doesn’t actually hate the Canadian Arctic. Rather he has good reason to be proud of his status as an “Airborne Earthworm”. Early last winter, the “Canada Entertains” revue went to mili- tary bases at Thule, Frobisher Bay and Alert. Al was the featured guitarist in Bert Niosi’s Orchestra. The rewards for this trip were certificates entitling Al and comnanv to belong to the ancient and honored Order of IHTFP. To qualify it was necessary to have crossed the Arctic Circle at an altitude of 21,000 feet in the Canadian aircraft Hercules and to snent approximately 2,125 hours in the air. Picture if you can, the entire cast sitting along the inner sides of the big plane, secure in webbed seats, with their luggage strapped about their feet. Smiling Al Harris Goes Centennial With CBC’s “Canada Entertains” The Greenland Vtrip was Al’s second to the Arctic in four years. Earlier he performed at Frobisher Bay, Churchill and Resolute. “Canada Entertains” is one of the truly bright spots of the year in the lives of lonely Canadian soldiers. It brings them a breath of home' and is a vital link that tells them they are not forgotten while they serve the interests of their country. The show is an ambassador for Canada with its presentation of top Canadian talent giving high quality entertain- ment. “The flight north was rather frightening,” said Al. “Nothing but snow as far as eye could see. It seemed as‘if: we‘ were flying for hours upon hours. At Thule the atmosphere was semi-dusk but at Alert it was dark.” There were 1.000 Americans stationed at Thule Airbase. “It was like a miniature New York with all modern conveniences,” said A]. At Alert there were about 300 Canadians. Al praises the members of the Canadian Forces Centennial Show. He speaks highly of every one in- cluding Producer Ken Dalziel who keeps his weather eye constantly on the show, the popular master of ceremonies, Gordie Tapp, the 38 featured performers (Continued on Page 14) will come again. The auxiliary holds busi- ness meetings at the manor auditorium at 2 pm the fourth Friday of each month, July and August excepted. Visitors are always welcome and the membership fee is 50c.

Mr. Milligan said some pre-‘ sent regulations applied to the disciplining of police officers are imprecise, particularly where they relate to appeal pro- cedures for the men. The re- vised code will set forth a line of appeal â€" from police chief. to local boards of police com-‘ missioners (or council commit- tees where municipalities have them), and ultimately to the On- tario Police Commission, the. final voice. Mr. Milligan said the new i regulations will prescribe 1‘ clearly how charges against ;policemen are to be dealt with land under what circumstances ithe lieutenant-governor will al- llow an officer to appeal.

He said the various charges to which an officer is subject for violating the internal dis- cipline of his force will remain essentially the same in the new code as they now are under the Police Act. : The commission revealed in its annual report that it has revised provincial regulations governing police discipline and has recommended amendments to the law. Attorney-General Wishart is expected to incorp- orate the changes in a bill at the current session of the Legis- lature. The commission said the amendments were drafted “in the interests of better law en- forcement." Under the new code. it as- serted. an attempt would be made to maintain effective dis- cipline among all police officers in the province and yet safe- guard their rights to fair hear- ings. George Mayes 0n â€" Roland Michener’s first act as Governor General was to abolish the curtsey at vice-regal receptions . . . just when Ottawa photographers were prepped to catch him and some comely deep-dipping commoner in a shot suitable for the “Now Show Me Your Belly Button” series. Other news from Ottawa included a report from the Department of Health that 30% of todays youth are mentally disturbed. Of course this is by adult standards; but the part that worries is an estimate by the department of statistics that youth will make up 60% of Canada’s population by 1980 . . . and then WE will be the mentally disturbed! Ottawa was also busy last week creating the Order of Canada . . . while, in Quebec, business was as usual in adding to the DISorder of Canada. It Could Only Happen In America, Dept. â€" Where else but in a hockey playoff could 20,000 spectators and millions of TV viewers be set to twiddling their thumbs for several minutes (or collectively, thousands of hours) by any nobody with the price of a cheap ticket and a carton of eggs? See where the Maple Leafs went into the play- offs wearing new “Centennial Uniforms” as a patri- otic gesture. . . . Uniforms that were made in the U.S.A. Oh well, most of the ice was made in Can- ada. Grist mills, with immense creaking water wheels and pla- cid ponds, were necessary and‘ numerous in this part of On- tario a century and more ago. Two busy ones on the little Don had made Thornhill a prosper- ing and important centre of flour milling. Then, in 1847, the willage suffered a sudden and severe set back due to the fin- ancial failure of a leading citi- zen. Royalty made a come-back last week â€" the King of Greece was reinstated; and the papers were full of advertisements for bigger and bigger King- Size cigarettes . . . for ease-uppers who were finding it a long time between smokes and wanted a long smoke between times. And a new cigarette made of lettuce leaves is coming on the market. . . . Does one light them or dip them in mayonnaise? Squire Benjamin Thorne, who owned the mill in the hollow, on the west side of Yonge St, had built up a large business ex- porting flour to England and importing iron ore. When the preferential tariff was removed, allowing grain from all coun- tries to enter Britain duty free‘ ‘because of the famine in Ire-‘ land, Thorne was left with ship- Ioads of unsold flour and went bankrupt. His mill was taken over by D. McDougall & Co, and in spite of further misfortunes in the way of fires and floods, continued in operation until 1872. The Ontario Farmers Union is threatening more tractor strikes this summer unless the government gives them a guaranteed annual income . . . and the poor taxpayer will be singing the old song: How are we going to keep them down on the farm . . . ‘T Spending estimates in the House of Commons reveal that the CBC “owes” the government 26 mil- lion dollars and is getting another “loan” this year of 30 million â€" in addition to 143 million “expenses” and they STILL have just as many commercials as the private station! . . and speaking of commercials: The CBS lab- oratories in the States have developed a loudness monitor and automatic limiter for excessively loud commercials. . . . Fine, now if they could just develop an automatic frequency control. . . . (Yes, we know they have AFC â€" but NOT for commercials.) Both the Ontario and the federal governments say they are planning some action against LSD. . . . Yes, sure, like taxing it! With all the publicity on youthful LSD “trips”, it’s good to see suburban students taking walk-in trips to the city for worthy causes. The trick on these trips is to raise money without raising too many blisters. The Pomona Mill on the north‘ side of John St. had not den pended upon export trade and fared better. Bought and named by John Brunksill in 1844 it was acquired after his death in 1870 by William Harris, the former head miller. In 1880 An- drew McFall, who had been looking around for a mill to buy or rent. leased the Pomona from the widowed Mrs. Harris. and on March 17 an interesting little cavalcade set out from Klein- burg for Thornhill.

THE WILSON FAMILY, Dear Mr. Editor I read in a recent edition of “The Liberal” that the Humane Society contemplates taking charge of the canine control of this district. MORE PRAISE FOR JAMES RYAN Dear Mr. Editor: I am pleased to see that they are finally heading in the right direction, but why choose Vaug- han and Markham Townships? It is my belief that statistics show that this is the best con- trolled area in Ontario. James Ryan has put a lot of effort, and money of his own, into this venture. to control the animals he sincerely loves, whether they be dogs, cats, coons, fox or whatever the animal happens to be. I have always had a dog, and have always been more than sat- isfied with Mr. Ryan’s response. His kennels are spotless, the food is good and the dogs are exercised each day â€" not in a 2 x 4 fenced in “run”, but a good big one. and with love and a kind word for everyone of them. He is a most knowledgeable man, cooperative and agreeable to any safe and humane manner in the handling of any sort of animal. I do know he has been injured in trying to help some of the animals he's been called upon to treat. Let the humane society, and their friends try to “slip in" to a “run down" area and build the reputation and respect that Mr. Ryan, and his very few as- sociates, hold in this district. In my opinion, he is the best in the business, and suggest, for the good of the community, that he be suggested to outline a programme for the animal control of ALL York County! Yours truly, SAM HACKETT, 6 MacKay Drive, Richvale. VAUGHAN TWP. AND COUNTRY SQUIRES Dear Mr. Editor: Might I be permitted. once again, through the use of “The Liberal” to reply to C. D. Mil- ani’s last letter? It is not my intention in doing so that this will alter his think- ing but perhaps there is a hope that others will start getting alarmed at what is a serious problem. Mr. Milani accuses Vaughan residents, and I assume he inâ€" cludes me, of living as country squires. â€"If a three bedroom bungalow on a 90’ lot is being a squire then I am guilty.

If I want to bring up my chil- dren where "they do not have to play on a busy street or a postage-stamp sized lot then I am guilty. Yes, Mr. Milani, I may be guilty of being what you call a country squire â€" guilty. but not ashamed. These may be some of the reasons why people in Vaughan think as they do and as such deserve close scrutiny. Why must the City of Toronto expand any further? Here are the problems as I see them. Is there not enough land in this country to make available a decent size lot on which a salaried person can build an adequate home if he so desires? Will not the development of the fringe townships add to water and air pollution; make necessary costly highways or other forms of transporting people? Do cities reach a stage where growth should be arrested? Should we not be concerned about arable land being gob- bled up by industrial. com- mercial establishments and resi- dential areas? Is it not practical to have farms located near large centres of population? If industries can be encour- aged to relocate in other centres why not people? Is relocation any more expensive than rede- velopment? Do people realize the advant- ages of living in a small city? What new concepts of com- munity living have been de- veloped by town planners in the past few years? And more locally. What price home m Vaughan carries its full share of the tax load? Is a subdivision like Bay Ridges an answer to our housing needs? Until such time as the tax structure of financing -the ser- vices of local municipalities changes then I heartily concur with Vaughan Council in re- stricting future housing de- velopments. Under present cir- cumstance we should set a ratio of new homes by a fixed amount. of new assessment raised through industry and business. If the province does, do we want to lose access to our local councils and school boards? Unlike Mr. Milani, I do not purport to have the answers, only questions, and his solutions fail to answer the problems as I see them. The Helpful Co.
