Vaughan, he declared, has as much to offer Metro as Metro has to offer to Vaughan. Vaughan needs water for future development which Metro could provide.

The next step would be to recommend the Official Plan to township council for adoption. It was suggested copies of the Of- ficial Plan should be placed in township libraries. Displayed at the planning board meeting were several large maps of the township indicating soil capability. septic tank suitability. 1969 land use. the official plan of future land use. a transpor- tation plan, and development plan. Planner Ferguson said the Official Plan was aimed to cover a five-year period untg a regional plan could be done. \It provided for 14000 square foot minimum lots and septic tanks in designated areas. It would not stop de- velopment. but would regu- late it at something like the existing rate.

AURORA â€"- Strong pressure from Newmarket and Aurora wrung agreement from a meet- ing of York County Central Five municipal delegates to open negotiations with the county warden and commis- sioners on conversion of the 97- acre York Manor farm to a re- gional park. The county farm is in King Township. King is opposed because, it is commitâ€" ted to develop a 50-acre park on the Concession 5. Official Plan, until the region plan is done and decisions are made on water and sewer lines in York County. Mr. Ferguson said the areas designated for estate residential development could hold 10,000 people. These areas were mainly selected according to scenic values. road access. and availability of ground water supply. There was provision for 500 new homes in five years under the proposed Official Plan. although there was only a little provision for in- dustrial and commercial de- velopment. Existing urban areas like Nobleton. Schomâ€" berg. King City and Oak Ridges could continue ex- panding at rates similar to past years. Board member Duggan ex- pressed disappointment over the lack of provision for in- dustry. Reeve Cook said the future industrial base for York County regiog Lies in Vaug- hm Township. He said the big question was who was to get this industrial area. York region or Metro. “I intend to fight to hold it for York." said Mr. Cook. who is also York County warden. “These persons bringing this charge against me. they are all Queenists." Hungarian freedom fighter and plague of Ontario's traffic courts. Zoltan Szoboszloi, Traffic Summons Consultant 55. told Richmond Hill Provin‘ cial Court February 26. But it was a week when Zol- “'01 tan‘s usual good luck seemed to Z0” have deserted him. Fresh from conviction the day before in To- doc” route for chasing a suspected talk person from his premises, the .mld self-styled traffic ticket consult- 15 n ant was convicted for pushing a like policeman in the court hallway dos and fined $100. Crg Zoltan's Luck Eventually Ran $100 Down In Toronto February 25 Zol-l tan was fined $200 for assaulting a man who knocked on his door. He said he had "nothing on but the radio“ and was making a cup of tea around 3 am February 3 when he heard a knock and thought the police had come back to harass him. He said one pulled a gun on him last Nov- ember. When Zoltan opened the door, the visitor turned out to be‘ a man looking for a girl, and had mistakenly knocked on the door. The man, Philip Thibeault. 29. said he apologized. turned to leave. and slipped on the floor. Then he was struck on the head with a wooden shoe and ended up in hospital with seven stitch- es. Zoltan explained: “I put my shoe up and down. He put his head under my shoe . . . I had no intention of hurting him. I was nude . . . I was only de- fending my property." Zoltan was in his usual court form again here. however, with nearly all of Richmond Hill‘s officers of law and order hailed into court on subpoenas. Every- one from Provincial Judge Rus- sell Pearse on down faced their moment in the witness box to be questioned by the accused. Zol- tan argued natural justice was reneged. cited the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and questioned the validity of a charge made in the name of the Queen. a mistrial was declared. Zol- tan was in court as agent rep- resenting Ronald Freeman who was later acquitted in a new trial when represented by a member of the Ontario bar. Subpoenaed were Judge Pearse. Assistant Crown Attor- ney James Crossland. Chief of Police Robert Robbins, Deputy Police Chief Joseph Rainey. Justice of the Peace and De- puty Town Clerk Mack Clem- ‘ent and Police Sergeant Ted McBrien. Provincial Judge Claire Morâ€" rison of Newmarket was in Richmond Hill to preside. The charge arose out of a. July 8 case before Judge Pearse when July 8 Zoltan was ordered out of the court by Judge Pearse after an incident. Dur- ing the subsequent recess the accused Freeman was taken in- to the Crown Attorney's off- ice.

Zoltan was ther." said Mr. Wijesinha. i. Zoltan denied pushing the officer and excused his lan- guage as having been learned in a car assembly plant when he first came to Canada. He argued that the Crown At- torney erred in taking an accused man to his office when the accused's agent had been ordered out of the court. He said this was contrary to the etiquette and law of justice. and suggested Mr. Crossland was acting out of ignorance and inexperience. Crown Attorney Kingsley Wijesinha asked Judge Morri- son to rule on whether it was proper for Crown officers to do what Mr. Crossland had done. since it was frequently useful to talk with an accused to aid the court. Judge Morrison skirted this question, even though Mr. Wij- esinha repeated his request. The iudge's only reference to this was to state in his judgement that Mr. Crossland had taken the accused to his office while carrying out his duties as Crown Attorney. In the witness box Mr. Cross-5 land said he was talking to the accused in order to arrange a mutually agreeable new tria date and to make sure the ac- cused knew Zoltan was not a3 member of the bar. He told the court the accused Freeman thought Zoltan was a lawyer entitled to practise in the court. a lawyer entitled to practise in Caught in the midst of a the court, fraud attempt at 4 Richmond Zoltan countered that he Hill store, a' 38-year-old Metro was in the court July 8 openly Toronto man pleaded guilty to requesting to represent the ac- four charges in Provincial cused as agent, something to Court here February 23. which he was entitled as long Three other charges, includ- as the case was asummary‘fmg the one relating to ther conviction matter. ifiichmcrnd Hill offence. were Mr. Crossland said he took,u1thdrawn by the Crown. i the accused to 1115 office beâ€"l!

Did you have the intention to put me in the jail some way or other?" Zoltan asked Mr. Crossland. Mr. Crossland only replied that it would be usual for any of these police officers to be in his office. Summing up. Judge Morrison said he was satisfied the police- man allegedly pushed was in regulation uniform. Zoltan maintained that the security policeman's outfit made him look like a sweeper at Queen's Park. Judge Morrison said he had: convincing evidence from twai- policemen that the push had. indeed taken place. and that. the decision was a matter of l credibility. I “You are your own worst- enemy." he told Zoltan. “You I seem to encourage people to- take sanctions against you.” He said Zoltan had appeared without counsel and was given more than the normal latitude. Zoltan had come very close to abusing his privileges in the court. But Judge Morrison decided}- to let Zoltan question his wit-ll messes, even though at the. end their evidence wasn‘t I found to relate directly to - whether or not any assault ac- .- tually had taken place. = “You will be constantly in: trouble unless you obey thei rules of the court. This is a.- court of criminal law, not all political forum," said Judge- Morrison. He said he didn‘tâ€" think Zoltan was a dangerous man. But he was a man who didn’t appreciate the recourses available to him under Canadi- an law. “This assault is not of the serious variety, but shows lack of respect on your part." said the judge. Also in court February 26. Robert Cox of 15 Lancer Drive, Maple, was fined $75 and costs when he pleaded guilty to re- fusing to take a breathalyzer test. He was arrested at 12.12 am February 10 on Maple Street in Maple, the court was told. Zoltan said he was on wel- fare, just like the Queen. Wel- fare gave him $85 a month and his rent was $75 a month, so he needed time to pay his $100 fine. Judge Morrison gave him two months. Mr. Cox misunderstood his rights. and felt he didn’t have to co-operate any further when he was put under arrest and taken to the_station, his lawyer said. Denton Cameron. 48. of Bumdale Avenue, Willowdale, was fined $75 for having a breathalyzer reading of 1.8 af- ter a 4:15 pm December 14 accident at Langstaff Road and Dufferin Street. The defence said the $1,500 accident was not Cameron‘s fault, in spite of his condition. George Hall of 18 Alanadale Avenue.

ZOLTAN SZOBOSZLOI years in jail on variouscharges of theft. receiving. assault. break-in, robbery and offensive weapon possession, the court was told. The fourth charge admitted was for jumping bail.

After drinking what was described by Crown Attorney John Kerr as a tremendous, fantastic amount of liquor. driver William Wardrop. 24, of 32 Yonge Street. Oak Ridges. was arrested by Richmond Hill Police at 3 am January 17 after his car was observed weaving on Yonge Street North. Wardrop had a breathalyzer reading of 3.00. This was so far above the .08 reading re- quired for conv1ction under the Criminal Code that it engen- dered astonishment in the court. Nobody could remem- her a reading anywhere near this level. Wardrop said he couldn’t re- member how much he had to drink. He pleaded guilty and was fined $125 and costs. Another charge of impaired driving was withdrawn.
