A traffic prob- lem already exists." Councillor Ivan Mans- bridge was for “registering our objections even if we don't get anywhere." Member Howard Whillans didn't think there was any- thing to be done about the present application but thought "some control could be initiated in the bylaw to handle future applications so it can't happen again.” Mr. Mansbridge suggested that “applications of this nature should come before this committee so that we could control their locations. Legion members will be glad to know that the Richmond Hill Cenotaph is not going to be destroyed, replaced or re- moved for at least another 49 years. As a result, the school board recently offered the town a 49 year lease of the property, at a nominal fee of one dollar per 1yea1: The Cenotaph. containing the, names of local men who died in two world conflicts, was erected on the property of the McCon- aghy Public School on Yonge Street in 1920, and has since become something of an his- toric local site. Earlier in the year, when plans were announced that the province would be assuming re- sponsibility for schools. fear for the safety of the Cenotaph was expressed by many local resi- dents. And in this commerical age of concrete high-rise and drive- in spectaculars their fears were well founded, because the pro- vincial government has never‘ been especially noted for its record of conserving historic sites when there was a tax dol- lar to be made. At the beginning of Novem- ber, Legion President Frank Barrett after consultation with members of his executive, wrote a personal letter to the Rich- mond Hill Public School Board expressing the Legion’s concern on the future of the Cenotaph. could “hold up desirable development by instituting another form of control." It was generally agreed that there was little leg to stand on regarding traffic problems. Member Ken Brown pointâ€" ed out that it would be dif- ficult to justify the traffic complaint “because you have such places as Mac‘s Milk and the new A & P Store which certainly pro- vide difficulties”. Mr. Sayers observed that “traffic problems have cer- tainly been compounded by the addition of the store. I think it should have been stopped. 0n the same basis I think this drive-in restaur- ant is a poor idea at this location."

In other business, the board turned thumbs down on an application by Sherry Jaye Securities Limited to construct a small nine-unit shopping plaza to be located on the east side of Yonge Street South between Kin- near Motors Auto Body Shop and the Village Pizza Bar. The application came to planning board when the committee of adjustment re- jected it because it violated Bylaw 1000 backyard allow- ance regulations by more than a minor variance. Board members looked on askance at the proposal for traffic reasons; the fact there would only be one exit onto Yonge Street. Over 500 boys between the ages of 14 and 16. accompanied by coaches. managers. fans and parents are expected in town during the week, and players will be billeted as far as pos- sible with local families. The tourney has been sched- uled for the period of Easter recess in the schools in order that 1ocal youngsters will be free to enjoy the excitement at the new Richmond Hill Arena. Over 70 invitations have been sent out to hockey clubs in On- tario, Quebec. Manitoba, New- foundland, Michigan, Massa- chusetts Minnesota, Illinois, New York and California. An invitation has also been extend- ed to the USSR with a view to having a Soviet minor hockey team participate. ‘ The first annual tournament was held last April over a Branch 375, Royal Canadian Legion By Eric Chapman ALLENCURT IGA FRESH ONTARIO PORK SALE!

A re-application f r o in Cherry Construction for a nine-lot subdivision on Rum- ble Avenue was recommend- ed for approval to town council providing it met with the regulation of Bylaw 1000. Also attached was the con- dition that a proportionate amount of industrial to resi- dential development he in- cluded as set down in previ- ous town policy for other approved subdivisions. Further news concerning the international tournament will be promulgated in the near fut- ure. At the last general meeting held November 18. nominations for executive office were re- ceived. For the office of branch 375 President, two nominations were recorded. A total of 35 names were submitted for the nine other executive posts that are required to be filled to represent the 400 members of‘ the branch. 1 Cherry Construction had applied earlier but had been rejected under a then-town policy of not approving any subdivisions. The policy was later amended to allow a certain amount providing the developer was able to guarantee industrial sites also.
