For the second show I received an invitation to “A Unique Open House". This was a showing of portrait busts and paintings by John Goodmakers of Maple. One gets resigned to the fact that this is a. cold. hard world. and it is truly delightful to meet people who radiate warmth of personality to the extent that I found in John and his wife Betty. The Goodmakers came to Canada from Holland in 1954 with their three sons. a fourth being added to the family ten years ago. Having escaped from a prison camo during the war. John became an under- ground fighter in Holland. until he became a trans- lator working with the US. Army. It was his con- tact with members of the Canadian forces in Eur- ope that persuaded him to try his luck in this coun- try. John took his training in arts before the war, and had the good fortune to study under some of Europe’s finest teachers. He was a student at the M.K.S. College of Art in Maastricht, Holland, and at the Logelain School of Master Painters, and was instructed by such notable artists as Charles Vos and Henry Jonas. 0n meeting John Goodmakers it is evident that he is not “arty”, but a man who loves art, while at the same time he has a practical sense of his respon- sibility towards his family. For this reason he spent many years after coming to this country in the interior decorating business, and has been suffic- iently successful that he can now devote his time to the things he really wants to do, and for which he was trained. The open house is his first public show, and though originally advertised as running from May 28 to June 3. the response has been such that it will now be extended to June 8. During the week the hours are from 7-11 pm, and on Saturdays and Sun- days from 3-11 pm. The location is five miles north of Highway 7 on Keele Street, and the fact that the show is in the Goodmakers’ home is part of its charm. Here is no stark gallery with studied light- ing, but a relaxed atmosphere where one may sit and study the compositions and enjoy the company of one’s hosts. ' While the paintings have, to my mind, an almost primitive quality, the portrait busts have an entirely different style, capturing completely the personality of the subject. An interesting example of this could be seen by comparing a bust of one of the artist’s sons as a child with one of him as a young man. The same characteristics were evident, but determination and maturity had taken over from the aggression of the little boy. John takesa particular interest in children, and the busts of his infant subjects are executed with insight and ten- derness. “me's N o DATSUN lilr e In The Spotlight Phone 889-8830 or 884-8134 Notice is hereby given to all persons in pos- session of land, in accordance with the Weed Control Act, 1960, Sec. 3, 13 and 19, that unless noxious weeds growing on their lands within the municipality of The Town of Richmond Hill, are destroyed by date of June 9th. 1969, with neces- sary cuttings throughout the season, the munici- pality may enter upon the said lands and have the weeds destroyed, charging the costs against the lands in taxes, as set out in the Act. qu" "v "'luu Complete Service and full stock of parts Fn]"a:nn one!

By supporting the Green Bush Inn project it could show a permanent tie between the university and the municipality. Provisions of services. roads. water. sewers. and money grants. he said. are soon forgotten. but an his- torical building on campus would be a distinctive and enduring reminder that North York was interested in the university. that it car- ed enough to "just do a small thing because we want to."

The committee would also like to re-construct the old wing which was a part of the original ‘tavern. When the old inn first came to public attention about two months ago, the Metro press and local poli- ticians believed it was un- occupied, and from the out- side it would appear to be “The place is really shot." concedes student George Orr, a member of the Green Bush Committee “It will need a tremendous amount of work. but we feel we can make a go of it with more financial backing." Three one-night pub ses- sions were held during the spring term on campus to help the inn fund, and more are planned. Mr. Simpson. who is vice- chairman of the Toronto His- Furniture, said Mr. Simp- son would not be authentic antiques, but reproductions that would fit into the over- all pioneer decor. It is a problem to know how to preserve old build- ings, said Mr. Simpsori. “They can't all be museums. This is a highly imaginative and suitable use for the inn. It is excellent to see young people taking an interest. in their heritage and wanting to carry it on." d'Ill“llllllllll“l“millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllmill“lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\lllll“ll\l\lll\l\lllllmillillIlllllll“lllllllllllllllllllllll“ll“llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“\llllllllllllllllllllll\\\llll\ll\llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'l' Construction of a third con- servation field centre within Metro region moved a step closer to reality on May 28 when Energy and Resources Manage- ment Minister John Simonett presides at sod-turning cere- monies in the Claremont Con- servation Area in Pickering Township. If the borough is worried about the money. he said. the grant could be reduced to $95,000 and the remaining $5.000 passed over to the Green Bush Inn project. Students Dig At Grbund-Breaking For Nature School At Claremont The classroom for the field centre will consist of the 400- acre Claremont area located about seven miles north of Pic- kering Village. The area con- tains the picturesque Duffin Creek, two smaller flowing streams, artesian wells and ponds. He emphasized that no money should be turned over until the municipality was assured that the committee was in a position to go ahead with plans for restoration. that a site on campus was ready to receive the building. There are about 150 apres of natural woodlot containing both softwood and hardwood trees. A 39-acre land-use demonstration site illustrates the technique of strip cropping and grass water- ways. Like Mr. Simpson. Mr. Chusid is not disturbed by a recent story in the Willow- dale Enterprise which de- scribes the building as a H'i‘he proposed log building will serve as the operational headquarters for the program, providing in-residence accom- modation, laboratory, lounge, kitchen, cafeteria, washrooms and field equipment storage areas. “shack”, adding ‘The borough has no control over the con- ditions of this rundown slum because it is located on the Vaughan Township side of Steeles Avenue." Many rundown ancient houses in downtown Toronto have been completely gutted and restored, Mr. Chusid pointed out. and now bring a fancy price. ViiAuthority officials expect to have the field centre ready for classes next January 1. vClaisses from Metro and sub- urban schools will study at the field centre for a week at a time. The new field centre will also accommodate eight student- teachers from the College of Education who will lie assigned for practice-teaching. ‘Nor is he perturbed by the North York Mirror’s editorial comment, “Proponents of the plan were unable to come up with any substantiation of a claim the building was of hisâ€" torical significance, and it is in such a state of disrepair it is estimated $38,000 would have to he spent on getting it ready for the campus beer drinkers.” The in-residence field centre, with accommodation for 40 stu- dents, will provide five-day as well as two-day weekend courses in conservation education. It Students Want Green Bush “Slum” place to drink. A very mod- erate social drinker. Mr. Chusid said. "If they do drink. they should learn how to handle it." A graduate of the Univer- sity of Toronto and a lawyer. Mr. Chusid recalls that many of his fellow students had their favorite drinking places around the campus. that the majority are now successful and respected business and professional men. He added that it is ironic that some of the borough council‘s heav- iest drinkers are coming out strong against the York Uni- versity pub. Many of the university's student body live on campus in residence. but the nearest pub is about four miles away. So far. Mr. Chusid has found only one ally on coun- cil who is prepared to pub- licly defend his stand. Con- troller Hunt told the board of control that, in his opin- ion. the students should be encouraged in their efforts “to inflate a sense of herit- age among them." will be. in effect, an east-end extension of the now famous Albion Hills Conservation Field Centre. The Cold Creek Field Centre north of Bolton‘ is the other such facility to be de- veloped by the Metro Conserva- tion Authority. It opened its doors for classes last Septem- ber. Unlike Albion Hills and the Claremont field centres. Cold Creek is for one-day field :studies. and does not have live- ‘in facilities. “I don‘t know what the good burgers of North York think," said Mr. Chusid, “and I don't know what the board of control is afraid of.” The conservation field cen- tres are being established by the authority to meet the in- creasing interest displayed by the public and educators in con- servation education. Committee Chairman John Adams is not despaired at the attitude of the control- lers. “I am amazed at the people who have given \They also previde for year- round use of the conservation areas for studies. The conservation foundation has played a prominent role in providing funds to the Author- ity for the establishment of the field centres. The foundation, under the chairmanship of E1- gin Card of Willowdale. recently launched a public campaign to raise $150000 to build the Claremont Field Centre. people who have given money. who have come for- ward in support of the plan. The University Board of Governors has approved the plan but demands a mini- mum of $30,000 in the fund before we can move the inn, and we already have $30,000 pledged." The official ground-breaking ceremonies for the new con» servation field centre included Mr. Simonett firing a starting pistol which activated 40 grade 10 boys from East End High School, Toronto. into a digging spree on the site of the pro- posed building. The boys were brought over from the Albion Hills Conserva- tion Field Centre where they were taking a week's conserva- tion education. Ten men belonged to the fam- ous Group of Seven during the 12 years The Group existed. The name came from the first Group Exhibition when seven painters wanted to exhibit to- gether in 1920.

Owner William Popovich was apologetic about the state of the building. which was occupied when he bought the property about a year ago. "It's pretty awful. isn‘t it?" he said. The controllers. (the maj- ority of them live in the Bayvimr-York Mills areal. were horrified at what Con- troller Basil Hall described as “horrible squalor“. but a supporter of the Green Bush project who had seen real squalor in other places de- scribed the interior as "sparsley furnished with cheap furniture â€"- only the essentials. but the occupants are obviOUSly making an at- tempt to keep it clean. The beds were neatly made, and the sagging floors were clean. The rooms are large, and only a storage room on the second floor showed signs of neglect." The interior is shabby. and the only heat comes from ancient Quebec heaters and newer space heaters. There are even a few bits of furni- ture that milst have been left over from the hey-day of the inn when it was a popular meeting place for farmers and merchants of the area', but the structure was built in the days when build- ings were designed to last. Members of the student committee and Mr. Simpson have investigated thoroughly the cost and effort involved in moving the old building. “The place is really shot." concedes student George Orr, a member of the Green Bush Committee “It will need a tremendous amount of work. but we feel we can make a go of it with more financial backing."
