"Hindsight can be useless and costly." Mr. Walter told the council. “but in this case it can be profitable. We welcome this insistence that we sit back and take a look at plans for expansion in this area.” TENDER SEPARATELY Richmond Hill Reeve Donald Plaxton spoke of the cost of having architects re-design the building to meet the new re- quirements of the OHSC, but he was assured that the archi- tect will not be paid extra to make the necessary changes.

Seems To Favor Addition To Police Department By FRED SIMPSON :hm ! 0 Planning: Regional and lo- cal planning similar to Metro plaguing. Local for distribution and ad- ministration. . Public health: Regional. Commissioner Garnet Wil- liams agreed there were differ- ences of opinion but said that “These areas 0f dissent can be solved. We’ve come a long way since our first meeting." It was decided to allow the committee to launch the econ- omic study and report back its findings at the next session of county council. Committee representa- tives are: Chairman Garnet Williams, reeve of Vaughan Township: John McLean. reeve of" Woodbridge; Torn Broad- hurst. mayor of Richmond Hill; Donald Plaxton, réeve of Rich- mond Hill; Mrs. Alma Walker, mayor of the Town of Mark- lam. Archie Laidlaw, reeve of the Town of Markham: Ken Laushway, reeve of Stouffville; and Anthony Roman. deputy- reeve of Markham Township. Richmond Hill Reeve Donald Plaxton said it was still a mat- ter of debate as to how the fin- al boundary lines are drawn “but there is no doubt some changes are necessary. The lines as they stand now are obsolete. they've been in ex- istence for 100 years. Rich- mond Hill has had about three annexations in the past 100 years." Mr. Plaxton noted his coun- cillors favored the three muni- cipafity concepts of regional government to handle local matters with an overall govern- ing body. One of the committee repre- sentatives. Reeve John McLean of Woodbridge favored having welfare kept at the local muni- cipality level because “you have to know the town and what the needs are. Besides you will be more familiar with the needs locally than on a regional basis.” 0 Sanitary and storm sewers: trunk system and disposal. A regional function with a local government administering col- lector system. 0 Garbage: Disposal - region- al; Collection - local. 0 Water supply: Regional for development, production and storage. O Roads: Arterial roads a re- gional function with internal (collector and local service) roads 3 local function.

Voting was 5-2 in favor of capital financing on a regional basis with some local capltal financing for items purely lo- cal. Firemen were called to the scene to shut off the pipe and to blow the accumulated nat~ ural gas from the building. There was no fire. Areas of unanimous agree- ment included: Employees of Snap On Tools. at the intersection of Bowes Road and Keele Street, were evacuated from the plant at 8.41 am on November 4 after a lift truck snapped a valve on a natural gas pipe. A vacant barn owned by Jethro Grang, of Weston, burn- ed to the ground on November 8. Firement were called at 7.55 pm but were unable to save the structure located on Oster Lane in the Concord area. at $300. Firemen believe the blaze may have been started by a cigarette butt left burning by youths. At 12.32 am on November 6, Vaughan Township Firemen had been called to the residence of Eric Dawber. 91 Yongehurst Road, where they were unable to save a newly-constructed tool shed. The building was valued at $600 and tools lost were valued Also lost in the blaze which levelled the farm home was a quantity of furniture owned by Donald Goldsworthy. who was in the process of moving. Mr. Goldsworthy told fire- men he was last in the building on the evening of November 5 and nothing appeared amiss. chief The number of personnel on duty for eight-hour shifts and working in the office varies from five to six, added the The Markham Township Po- lice have a staff of 27 officers and civilians occupying less than 1.400 square feet of space in the municipal building base- ment. Guyana Struggles T 0 Defeat Poverty Of Its People Mr, Wilson said the newly- elected Peoples National Congress Party. which now controls the pol- itical destiny of the nation, Is a democratic political organization with sociallstlc national policies, but is strongly pro-west. At the present time there Is no road in Guyana which crosses the country from border to border and there is much interest in a pos- sible link with Brazil since it could lead to a connection with the Pan American Highway. For Bargains & Service Galore (Continued from Page 1) The remaining 15 per cent of the population is comprised of Chinese. Amer-Indians (the orig- inal natives) Europeans and North Americans. Guyana is the only English- speaking country in South Amer- ica and is more closely identified with Caribbean Islands remaining under British protecton than with its neighboring Latin states. However. Guyana has a close alliance with Brazil. its gigantic neighbor. and negotiations are now taking place which could see construction of an international road link between the two nations.

Mr. Wilson says he has been engaged in establishing a YMCA at Mackenzie independent of the Demarara Bauxite Company. a subsidiary of the Aluminum Com- pany of Canada. Prior to 1967. the YMCA had been totally de- pendent on the firm. Spanish and is now regulated to the category of being a myth. He added that his present ob- jective is the establishment of an. independently operated YMCA and the training of a group of lay leaders with a program of activ- ities being set up which their finances can sustain. “Our board and committee levels are moving extremely well and will soon have sufficient funds to hire two Guyanans to replace me. There are now three full- time workers on staff assisting in a swimming pool program and working with volunteer leaders in sports and youth programs. My major focus in going back now is to prepare the Guyanans for tak- ing over full operation 0! the YMCA and to assure their finances are in shape and that specific training programs for leaders will succeed." he said.
