The resolution was passed at the recommendation of the wel- fare committee and arose be- cause of a number of homes for disturbed children purchased throughout the county by Brown Camps Limited. Welfare Chair- man Gladys Rolling, deputy- reeve of East Gwillimbury Township advised that her mu- nicipality had passed a resolu- tion that council was not agreeâ€" able to having such homes opâ€" erated in East Gwillimbury by Brown Camps. Mrs. Rolling insisted that the homes were a private business venture that, because of costs, of educating children from the homes. was being subsidized by local taxpayers. Her council had received complaints. she said, that the homes were noisy and supervised by teenagers Secretary of the welfare com-, lmittee is Vaughan Township Deputyâ€"reeve Garnet Williams.

Municipal Board hearing between Vaughan Township and Metro concerning the 600 acre dump which Metro wants to open south of Woodbridge was postponed again last week. Several who went down- town to OMB headquart- ers on Queen Street West on the morning of October 5 were merely told that the hearing would not con- tinue that day as scheduled. Vaughan‘s Solicitor James F. McCallum advises that the hearing was post- poned this time at the re- quest of Metro as its Sol- icitor George Mace was en- gaged with a case before the Supreme Court of Can- ada. At press time, Mr. Mace was said to be back from Ottawa but no date had yet been set for the re- sumption of the hearing. The hearing was postâ€"- poned for two days in Sep- tember due to the illness of Mr. McCallum. As Mr. McCallum has not yet completed his cross-examination of Her- bert Finnerty, vice-presi- dent of James F. MacLaren Limited, the firm which made the $175,000 garbage disposal study for Metro, Mr. Fennerty is still under oath and unable to discuss the matter with his assoc- iates or anyone else. On the last day of the cross- examlnation, Mr. McCal- lum uncovered discrepan- cies amounting to several I million dollars in the re- port. Campaign Tempo Picks Up As Robarts Nixon Visit Richmond Hill Tuesday ‘3‘ And (Photo by Stuart’s Studio) Ontario Liberal Leader Robert Nixon visited Richmond Hill Tuesday morning. In the above picture he is Seen with York Centre Liberal Candidate Donald Deacon discussing problems with a group of independent milk producers at the Bathurst Street home of Milton Savage. Mr. Nixon is aware of milk producers’ problems since he owns a 260-acre farm and his father-in-law is on the milk committee of Brant County. He told the farmers that the Robarts Government has consistently ignored the proposals of the milk producers and has discontinued the agriculture committee of the Legislature where proposals and problems could be discussed. Farmers now have to deal directly with the Premier or the Minister of Agriculture where recent protests have fallen on deaf ears. The farmers claim the policy of the Conservative Government to subsidize th e large industrial shippers is forcing the independent producers out of business and could cause aband- onment of farms in this area.

Her conclusion is that “While the education I received in England was an excellent one. it was shelt- ered and academic and not suited to today.
