He also noted that the Leg- ion Midget Tournament com- ing up during the winter school holiday would tax parking facilities in the park and claimed that utter confusion would result from the new regulations. Mr. Graham was spokes- man for a delegation repre- senting the Richmond Hill Hockey Association, the fig- ure skating club, the Rams Hockey Team and Minor Athletic Tournaments Inc. The recent changes in parking and traffic control around the arena in the town park came under severe crit- icism by a delegation headed by Tom Graham of Mill Pond Court at the March 2 meeting of Richmond Hill Town Council.

HARE INSURANCE AGENCIES Also criticized was the one-way entrance from Church Street. with one-way traffic to east of the arenas, where it runs into two-way traffic without benefit of a sign to indicate the change. It was felt that two-way traffic would be quite pos- sible by widening the Church Street entrance and install- ing a centre island to force one-way traffic on either side. Very easy for a young child to wander behind a backing vehicle and not be seen by the driver. Since bus drivers are paid to wait for their passengers. they don‘t rate prime parking at the expense of local people. It wouldn‘t matter to them if the bus bay was moved into the reg- ular parking area," he con- tended.“ The second area for crit- icism was the arena staff parking in the prime park- ing area. It was suggested that, with the exception of the arena manager and his assistant. the staff do not re- quire a prime location and their parking should also be shifted. KING, ONT.

It also calls for a one-way street to run all the way through the park from Church Street to Pugs- ley Avenue. This is to al- low easier access to the park- ing area." the Ward 4 Coun- cillor explained. He also pointed out the changes had been backed by the fire department. police depart- ment, ambulance people and all safety people in the inter- ests of getting emergency vehicles to the arena. He recalled that earlier this season when a spectator Chairman Shaun Beggs of the council-appointed parks and recreation committee. in reply. noted his committee had taken no action pending a request from the arena board for changes. The new regulations which came into effect in January were inâ€" troduced at the request of the arena board, he seated. stated Mr. Graham as he pointed out that an appeal had been made to the parks and recreation committee and to the arena board on February 4. “The parks board referred the matter to the arena board." THE TRAVELERS Thousands of people attend meetings every week, take part in volunteer programs, are in- volved in business, but are afraid to accept office or to speak out because they do not know how to express themselves in words â€" out loud.

The‘ largest number of 1969 calls were to grass and rubbish fires, and totalled 173. There were 122 calls for help. most of them from urban dwellings, barns and sheds. and manufac- turing plants.

However. the optimistic side is that our fire losses are continuing to lessen and it is hoped they will continue to do so," said the five chief in his report. During the past year there were 25 suspicious fires in the department's area, with arson suspected in nine cases. There were 96 fire investigations and charges are pending in one case.

"I admit the two-way area is at well marked. The Pug ley entrance should be widened and there is also the problem of lighting. This will be done when finances are available. The overall concept is not to add con- crete. We would like to get rid of some we have and are contemplating enlarging the parkette which is used a great deal in the summer," he continued. “The arena board is the one who should move the buses and employee parking. You are their best custom- ers. But I believe they would take up more parking space than where they are." Mr. Beggs told the delega- tion. “I feel one-way is not the answer‘” stated Deputy-reeve Ivan Mansbridge. “The main problem is parking which acâ€" Mr. Beggs also pointed out that the Pugsley Avenue exit makes things easier for the police and easier for the crossing guard at Church Street and Lorne Avenue. Besides instruction for per-~ sonnel in other plants and the regular firefighter training. the‘ department plans to continue providing better fire protection by proper planning of fire pre- vention and qulck response to: calls by on-duty personnel. said Fire Chief Davidson in his an- nual report. trained in the use of fire hose and first aid fire appliances. They also learned a proper method of communication In order to alert key personnel in the plant and the fire depart- ment in the event of fire. This program is expected to con- tinue one day a week for four months, each session lasting three hours. | By Flt. Sgt; Frank Jedlicsek |{ On March 5 the senior flightl of 778 Squadron Royal Cana- dian Air Cadets under Lieut. Stan Bendle enjoyed a quiz on aircraft. The junior-s under Ken Madill studied the parts of‘ a plane and their functions while in flight and the recruits had a drill period. Station One at Richvale had a total of 264 calls. Station Two at Sherwood had 344 calls. Sta- tion Three at Pine Grove had 49 calls. and Station Four at Kleinburg had 34 calls. A plant fire brigade was or- ganized in 1969 at the Acme Paper Company, Keele Street and Highway 7.

LAC Rein- deers and Corporal Topham. and 66 calls involving danger- ous combusti-bles. There were 69 false alarms. In 1969, six more full time probationary firefighters were hired from the existing volun- teer ranks. Examinations were set for mhrese men. with a quali- fying mark of 65% established. All of these men were success- ful in their exams and have ad- vanced to their next grade. The department's personnel now includes the fire chief, four dispatchers, 19 full mime fire- fighters and 62 volunteers. Reeve Donald Plaxton felt there was not enough time to make the changes request- ed in the time stated as he described former conditions in the park as "utter confus- ion at the end of a game". “I can see merit in moving buses and employee parking but that‘s up to the arena board." he said. “As far as I am concerned there should be an entrance from Church Street and an exit on Pugs- ley. For this council to make a decision without hearing from the arena board would be usurping the board‘s du- ties," he conclfided. "It's perfectly logical to acquaint the arena board of the urgency of their decisâ€" ion,“ said Councillor Lois Hancey as she suggested board members he asked to meet with the parks board as soon as possible. This was council's decision. “Do you feel a quick meet.- ing with the arena board to give you people, their best customers, a chance to disâ€" cuss this. would be helpful?" asked Mayor Bill Lazenby. cumulates in front of the arena. All that‘s really need- ed is an island in that area to prevent parking. That would solve everybody‘s problem." 778 Squadron Air Cadets Richmond Hill has a navy, and its ship is named Patriot.
