Christmas Cookies . . . Bah, Humbug At the time of this writing, there is snow on the ground, frost in the air and a darn cal- endar that keeps shrieking “31 more days until Christmas". As per usual I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping or bak- ing. It seems that every other kitchen I've been in lately is filled with the stomach teasing aromas of Christmas cakes. mincemeat and every kind of cookie imaginable, and it is the latter that frustrates me be- yond comprehension. While I'm not the greatest cook in the world. I do pride myself with the results I get when making pastry. cakes, any kind of square . . . but cookies are something else. On one occasion. earlier in my marriage. I got the cookie urge and spent hours in my little kitchen por- ing over a hot cook book, and finally found the recipe of the year . . . pinwheel cookies. I carefully followed the instrucâ€" tions, measuring everything, checking the oven temperature Church News The Afternoon Unit of the‘ UCW met at the home of Mrs!

I am no Nazi. I was only 15 when World War II ended. My father was a conscripted German soldier and he was killed. There was no one more glad than I to see the war end." Three-foot high swastikas daubed in white paint on both sides and the rear of the Karl Hartmann frame home at 6 Gormley Sideroad, were accompanied by “trick or treat" slogans â€" but it was no Hallowe'en prank. The daubing took place on the night of October 30. Mr. Hartmann. who came from Germany 10 years ago. and his Canadian wife. Elizabeth, found the near-perfect Nazi symbols in the morning. They esti- mate it will take $300 to $600 to remove them and repair the damage. But nothing will alleviate the feel- ing of shock and horror they received.

King City Forecast No Increase In Rates For Garbage > Since the residents of King City seem to be well satisfied with the garbage collection ser- vice provided during the past few months by York Sanitation. Newmarket. the village trustees indicated at their November 13 meeting that the firm will prob- ably be asked to continue. York‘ Sanitation took over the con-t tract in the spring when George Brown. the former collector, was unable to continue. The contract runs out at the end of this year. The cost is $1.00 ‘per call. It was reported that York} Sanitation is willing to sign a two-year contract with the police village at an increase in rates of approximately 5%. Trustees said they hoped to be able to retain the same. rates for the villagers for two or three years by using up a sur- plus in the garbage collection rates. l I credit myself with originat- lng an all day cookie, these things resembled cart wheels and were hard enough to use as wall plaques and very water- proof, I can attest to this fact because all the tears I shed that afternoon didn't even make a dent in them.

There were something like seven dozen cookies to go in and I felt a surge of pride at my accomplish- ‘ment. This feeling of utter elation was short-lived, however, for when the timer rang, I opened the oven and observed a fearâ€" ful mass of chocolate and vanilla dough overlapping the cookie sheet and resembling a marbled‘ scatter rug. “Not enough flour”, I mused, then set about scrap-l ing off the other sheets back into the bowl and added what I thought would be sufficient flour to make these darn cookies be- have.

Police report Mr. Hartmann has told them he had found a youth who is willing to testify he saw another youth on the property with a can of paint on the night the painting was done. He then called the youth's father, who denied his son was responsible and had slammed down the receiver after shouting. “Go to Hitler!" Whitchurch Township police say a charge of defacing private property may be laid. Mr. Hartmann is an office worker with a precast concrete company on Yonge Street. The Hartmanns bought the house. situated on half an acre. five years ago and have spent much of their earnings in improving it. The grounds are landscaped and it is one of the prettiest homes in the area. They are well-liked in their neighborhood and Mr. Hartman says he has never seen the boy he suspects nor had he given the youth any reason for performing such an act. and most amiably served in the various areas, the tea-room, the colorful boutique, the “Curios- ity Shop” and delicatessen.

This was the first year that the boys of King were in- volved with this particular dis- trict as in former years they competed in the York Summit shoxvs. While lacking the magni- tude of the Summit District Hobby Show, the quality of the entries more than made up for it.

A verbal hut stinging slap was delivered last week across the face of King Township Council. Delivering the slap was King Township Public School Board which passed a resolution “severely cen- suring” council for its dic- tatorial policy on education. “They haVe made it vir- tually impossible for us to carry out our jobs". charged Board Chairman Geoffrey Pierpoint who moved the censuring resolution which was seconded by Trustee Dolina Patterson.

His remarks followed council's recent refusal to rescind a resolution permit- ting $300.000 in debentures to be issued for additions to schools in the township pro- viding no major expansion took place at the King City Senior School. The board‘s contention was that council had no busi- ness telling it where to build but should only answer “yes" or “no" to a request for a stated sum of money to build. Council has already rejected a $490,000 debenâ€" ture request to build onto the King Senior School. A threat of legal action on the $300,000 resolution died when the board was inform- ed by its solicitors that while council had acted outside Colorful felt.

Toronto solicitors â€"â€" Stra- thy, Cowan and Setterington â€"â€" ventured the opinion in a letter that “council's area of responsibility is confined to the financing of such buildings. its jurisdiction it had not committed any legal misde- meanor. “We do not believe that a council can dictate. however, conditions as to how money raised by such financing is to be spent by the board." The solicitor's letter states also that despite the trans- gression the resolution “is valid because it simply ex- presses a policy under which it will act in the future." Legal action could have been taken if the board had requested and received apâ€" proval for a 3300.000 deben- ture issue and council had also specified where the ad- ditions would be built. “The council has no right." emphasized Mr. Pierpoint. “to tell the school board where to build. It has a right to refuse the money." Trustee Jack Van Luyk ventured that the board had acted in haste in asking council to rescind its motion “since the solicitor states that council's resolution was valid.” Township Should Make Exemption Application Advice from King Town- ship Solicitor Thomas Evans, Bradford. (who suc- ceeded J. D. Lucas earlier this year) to council is that application to the judge for exemption from taxation for farm land must be made by the municipal council Reeve Gordon Cook advised “The Liberal” this week. It is expected that at its next meeting township council will instruct its clerk to make this applica- tion on behalf of the town- ship's federation of agri- culture, who requested such exemption in February of this year. The application for ex- emptions is being made un- der Section 37 of the Muni- cipal Act, which provides for exemption from taxa- tion for expenditures of the municipality incurred for waterworks, fire protection, garbage collection, side- walks. pavements on sew- ers. or the lighting, oiling.

"but it is still trespassing our authority by setting out certain conditions under which we could re- ceive money. We definitely were in the right when we asked council to rescind the resolution." He added that “council still has this resolution on its books as a public state- ment of its policy {or the future. And this policy de- finitely interferes with the jurisdiction of this public school board." Trustee Patterson pointed out that “we were simply trying to get council off the hook by asking it to rescind the resolution." Mr. Pierpoint said that “we as a board have been trying to do a job and this resolution as it stands makes it virtually impossible to do so. If the resolution had been rescinded it would have al- lowed us to get on with our responsibilities. - “This present controv- ersy.” he said, “has nothing to do with council‘s refusal to pass the $490,000 in de- bentures.

The Real Issue Is Village Status Not Roads Says Peter Williams “The issue really has nothing to do with roads." Chairman Peter Williams of- King City Trustees commented at that body’s November 13 meeting. He was referring to a recent demand by Oak Ridges Rate- payers’ Association that road rates across King Township be equalized. He went on to explain that the Oak Ridges group was really attacking the present sys- tem of government which per- mits police villages to have autonomy over such things as roads. sidewalks, waterworks and hydro. King City Vs. Oak Ridges “I believe we can't interfere with one facet of the present setup until a better system is brought into being," Mr. Wil- liams stated. “While I sym- pathize with Oak Ridges‘ desire ‘to have the same autonomy as we have. it is not possible un- der the present legislation." The chairman noted that Oak Ridges’ hopes of becom- ing a police village a few years ago were frustrated because of provincial legislation which will permit no more such muni- cipalities being formed. 1o hring council up to date on the need for an addition to the present King City Senior School. “Council brought out fig- ures from other areas that had nothing to do with King Township. They were quot- ing figures with no basis in fact as it applies here. They didn't have any idea of how the new grant system works despite the opportunity to find out. They just shut us off at every turn.” Trustee Mary Heyward stated that “while this reso- lution remains we are at a standstill." Mr. Pierpoint then gave up his chair to Vice-Chair- man Wilbert Jennings while he introduced his resolution censuring council for its con- duct. In his resolution he point- ed out that the school board “since its formation January 1. 1965, has wrought consid- erable development and im- provement in education in the township. Its educational policies have been approved by both the ratepayers and the educators in the town- ship." Mr. Williams suggested that the ward system for the Whole township might be a solution for these problems. His statements were made in response to a ratepayers‘ request for Low Cost 2nd Mortgages Above payments based on 14% per annum m1 you: WHY OUR PLAN IS BEST: ‘v â€""â€"v' -7 the Associates, you get a mortgage agreement that is crystal clear.

Actual increase in village tax rates under equalization would be only 1.97 mills, the chair- man pointed out. noting that at present King City‘s road rates are on a parity with the rest of the township. since the village has agreed to pay $10.- 000 a year for three years to- wards the grade separation pro- ject on Keele Street. This is one half the total amount to be paid by the township. A statement made in the spring that police village fire departments would have to re- fuse to operate in the township if equalized road rates were in- stituted, was not made in anger. Trustee David Clark stated. “I made the statement only after consultation with Nobleton and Schomberg. Their fire depart- ments. like ours, are composed of volunteers and taxpayers. Naturally they were aroused that they should be compelled by Oak Ridges to equalize road rates.” Mr. Pierpoinl noted that the board‘s solicitor â€" while finding no ground for legal action â€"â€" had stated council had acted imprudently in passing the resolution. sh'ated an unwillingness to listen to relevant facts as provided by the public school board." “Reeve Gordon Cook and Deputy-reeve Ken Mactag- gart have stated to council . . . that the resolution was passed without sufficient thought being given." Mr. Clark went on to report that King City Fire Department fought 38 fires last year. Of these only nine were in King City. Costs for township fires were $1,485 and for King City $405. The firemen are paid an average of about $4 per fire at present. but there are indica- tions an increase to $6 will be asked. Mr. Pierpoint said that the board had attempted without success to get council to res- cind its contentious resolu- tion of October 23 "so that a proper framework for ad- ministering to the public school system in King Town- ship would be re-instated. “1n refusing to take action the board should severely censure the council for at.- tempting to dictate education policy in King Township and for placing the school board in a position from which it is impossible to administer properly to the educational requirement of the township or to use public money en- trusted to the board in the most advantageous manner." 6A Levendale Road Phone 884-8136 $37.05 $55.58 $74.10 $92.53
