His prognostications were given along with other Speak- ers at the recent annual meeting of the Ontario Parks Association in Toronto.

These are those grade 13 students who have achieved the distinction of being a- warded Ontario Scholarships this year. Twenty-three young people in York Central High School District are among this elite group, repre. senting 7.7% of the grade 13 enrol- ment, 2% better than the provincial average. These young men and wo- men are all hard-working and am- bitious and determined to make their contributions to the future. They know where they are going and are determined to reach that goal by means of their own ability and ef- forts. Present day residents of Richmond Hill admire the Bond on Mill Street as a natural beauty spot. Its beauty has been enhanced this year by a pair of swans and many geese and ducks. and the town has acquired additional land for park purposes at its northern end.

This latest skirmish isn‘t the first time that Richmond Hill’s two rep- resentatives have refused to support Vaughan in its bid to halt Metro. In February of this year Messrs. Hag- gart and Barrett at that time also sided with the Metro representatives on the conservation authority. If such voluntary groupings as the Southern Six (the six municipalities of southern York County) are to sur- vive and grow, what better place to begin acting in unison than in this vital issue of stopping Metro using Vaughan as a garbage heap. If the massive Metro Government, which is the largest municipal organization in Canada, can force its will on Vaughan in this way. then soon it will begin exporting all its unsolved problems to York County. In addition to a gar- bage dump in Vaughan it is also seeking to gain permission from the Robarts’ G0vernment to use the for- mer Langstaff Jail Farm in Markham Township as the site for homes for 20,000 Toronto and Metro welfare cases. iples of good conservation and land use.

If the municipalities of southern York County are to survive as a sep- arate political entity, then they would be well advised to present a united front to their big neighbor to the south before they wake up some day to find themselves just a pawn in the hands of “Big Daddy”.

The new 7,000 square foot building is located on one and a half acres in the Richmond Hill industrial area one block off Yonge Street. The firm designs and manufactures specialized control equipment for the mining and process industries. Some of their products include conveyor scales, bin level sensors, unitrain loadout systems, blending systems, batch weighing systems and crusher controls. Ramsey REC Limited was formed in 1961 and was previously located at 67 Industrial Road here in Richmond Hill. The firm has enjoyed an ever expanding market since its inception. . It was required to build the new enlarged facilities to meet the increasing acceptance of its products and services by Canadian industry.

As a resident of Vaug‘han Township I would say that I was disgusted at hearing of the recent coalition of high-pow- ered politicians and members of the Metro Conservation Auth- ority, which went to great lengths in order to snuff out the free voice of the people who live in this municipality. I refer of course to the farce which was enacted at Wood- bridge. and at which the auth- ority decided to turn over 600 acres of prime land for the fill- ing of millions of tons of sew‘ age sludge. If subsequently ap- proved by the Ontario Munic- ipal Board, twenty Vaughan homes will be expropriated. $20,000 a year in tax revenues will be lost and the water sup- ply of many Vaughan residents will be seriously jeopardized. I have always had the im- pression that a conservation authority is made up of persons who advocate the preservation of land from loss, decay, waste. injury and impairment. But apparently this is not so. Why then do we have need for such an authority? It is interesting to note that the authority is not an elected group. It is appointed in much the same manner as the police commissions, magistrates and others, for the purpose of serv- ing the public in a manner to which it has regrettably become accustomed; and in a manner in which the provincial govern- ment thinks it should be served. HAGGART, BARROTT et a! A MAN’S BIRTHRIGHT Dear Mr. Editor: Dear Mr. Editor: It is also frightening to know that Vaughan has received little support from its neighbors. even though our battle is also theirs. The actions of supposed Con- servationists Haggant, Barrett. Sumner and Henderson should be recorded by local councils and constituents as despicable, to say the least. And if such men are to be allowed to ride roughshod over public opinion. then it is about time we had them elected by public vote. I would mention that Vaughan’s battle has not yet ended. The final episode will be heard by the Municipal Board. A petition is being pre- pared and the argument will continue until the democratic rights of all of the people of Ontario are observed. And if they are not. I know that Con- servative votes will be sadly lacking in this area in the very near future.

FALL If people wish to continue on this course of thinking, it should be pointed out â€" and remembered â€" that all men, forming any nation or country. at one time or other migrated from a central point to points that could be called transits. Men were and are still on the move. Men do not standstill and their offspring should en- joy the nationality given them by right of birth. The English, French. Italian, German â€"â€" were they not immigrants at one time? Yet they enjoy be- ing call English and French- men, as it is their birthright and as it should be for all others. A man’s birthright is very important to him, therefore no one should. by action or words. deprive him of this right. I. for one, being proud to be a Can- adian, born in this country, vehemently deplore any such illiterate and hateful statements that cause dissension between our two main founding races. This is ridiculous in the sense that only men not born on a continent are immigrants. All men born in a country, any country take their nationality from that fact. It seems that every time people get into a discussion in- volving the two so-called found- ing races of 'this country‘ it in- evitably ends with the utterly ridiculous statement â€" quote: “The only true Canadian is an Indian." Being born in this country made me strictly a Canadian. Origin should not enter into this. Canadians tend to con- serve their identity, not as Canadian, but in the sense of the nationality of their ances- tors. Until the time we are wil- ling, not to forget our origin, but to put it second to the name Canadian, there will be no hope ‘of stopping this malady which ‘is causing continuous turmoil in this great country of ours. A fiercely proud Canadian by birth.

Mon. - Fri forming NOT MANY IDA STORES LEFT The drug store business has changed remark- ably in the last 10 years.” said Ha] Harley, pro- prietor of the Thornhill IDA. “The independent drug store is gradually giving way to the chain drug store.” Hal Harley served his apprenticeship as a graduate pharmacist at .a Galt drug store. His career was interrupted by World War II. He became a captain in the Highland Light Infantry and was on active duty with the 9th Brigade, Third Division of the: Canadian Army Overseas. In 1947. he opened his first drug store in a part of the old Thornhill hotel. In 1950, the hotel burn- ed to the ground, and Mr. Harley moved his drug store to temporary quarters in his own home. This trend, according to Mr. Harley, helps to destroy initiative and independence of the individual. On the other hand, the hours and pay are muc better. It stands to reason that the young graduate pharmacist would prefer the security of the chain store to the many headaches of an independent drug store owner. Business expanded and new lines kept demanding space. For instance men’s cosmetics came into fashion. In 1955. Mr. Harley acquired the adjacent store and joined it to his own and proceeded to give his premises a modern professional look. A new block of buildings was erected on the ashes of the historic hotel the same year. When it was completed, Mr. Harley leased a store in the Anstey Building.

MARKHAM VILLAGE: The The former Shirley Temple. famous child movie star who is now Mrs. Charles Black of San Francisco. is considering a poli- tical career as a Republican candidate for the United States Congress. She is following a trail suc- cessfully blazed by former song- and-dance star George Murphy, now a senator. and. of course. Ronald Reagan, governor of the most populous state in the Un- ited States and a possible pres- idential candidate. As it has never been estab- lished that the appeal of such former film stars has anything to do with government in its important aspects. it is natural to believe the individuals conâ€" cerned and parties who use them are interested only in capitalizing on popularity.
