Seats Outside of this particular phenomenon, how- ever, Kansai University, located between Osaka and Kyoto, is extremely similar to North American universities, especially those of the United States. Although it is unusually small by Japanese stand- ards (two thousand students) and definitely less “posh” than our educational facilities, it has a Wide variety of courses including economics, law, med- icine, literature, languages, and so on. Amazingly enough, its main course besides English is Spanish! The library is still under construction (that will make In any case, clulb activities range anywhere from sports to music to politics. With regard to the first of these, the most unfamiliar to us would be judo (the exercise session we saw seemed to involve little more than tortuous grunts and groans of exhaustion plus ferocious yells and contortions de- signed to frighten your attacker!) and kendo where the opponents fight with bamboo poles and are dressed in black uniforms. Needless to say, very few Japanese girls participate! Rather, they may learn to play the Koto (Japanese guitar) which has thirteen strings and is slightly less than eight feet long, .or ‘else they may go outside of the university to take lessons in Ikebana (flower arranging) and the tea ceremony, both of which must be learned before a girl is eligible for marriage. As for politics, even two thousand students can go on strike and close down the university as was the case at-the Kansai campus this spring! a grand total of three campus buildings!), yet the books that have been collected within four years in- clude many Spanish and German texts. My friend, Kyoko, told me that students rarely use those written in liln'glish. Oh well, all things cannot work out log- ical y. ’ In addition, many are interested in the plight of South America and its problem of foreign capital- ism. And of course we must not forget the local rag, cpmmonly called a newspaper! Oh, in case you are wondering, the fate of my friend and myself really was not bad at all. We managed to escape from the IGC with the legitimate excuse that we had missed lunch. In the cafeteria we had a leisurely chat with only three students and were interrupted just once by a boy who had written down some “hotel expressions” in the hope that we could substitute them with something shorter and easier to remember. Afterwards, we wandered at will and in our ten cent tour (it is an extremely small campus), we even discovered a lovely Japanese garden. Then home to where our friends board for the special treat of a sukiyaki dinner 5â€" our first since we arrived in Japan! (Continued from Page 2) English for six years in junior and senior high school, they have much the same problem as We do with French; that is, their accent and pronunciation are atrocious! It is not surprising that of all the club activities at this particular university, IGC has the largest membership and is rivalled only by the English Speaking Society (ESS). Indeed, the IGC is the only club to have two rooms in the university clubhouse which, with the problem of limited space, is quite an honour. (A Footnote: I wish to express my admiration for the hard working Japanese student who, a1~ though he has summer vacation in July and August, must return in September to write a final set of exams . . . oh woe! At last I appreciate the fact that or hardship is in the spring so that we might enjoy our subsequent freedom.) (Continued from Page 2) television appearance for the near future. Though Shirlene has had a number of music teachers in the last three years, since November she has been studying with Glen Sawich, a talented mus‘ ician who travels from his home in Oshawa to in- struct his classes in Willowdale. Long before Shirlene took up the accordion, she was becoming well-known in Richmond Hill and Newmarket for her skill as a figure skater. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Austerberry of Crosby Avenue are the only members to have been in the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club since its incep~ tion. Their elder daughter Janis, now 22, teaches skating in her spare time, and was one of the orig- inal Rotary Chippettes who performed in the Rotary Ice Revues at‘ Maple Leaf Gardens. Shirlene appeared in that show at the age of five as one of the Stars of Tomorrow. Starting skating at four, she won her first competition two years later at Richmond Hill Arena. She has been travelling around giving skating exhibitions since she was seven years old. Her home club for the last six years has been Newmarket, where she became Junior Dance Champ- ion in 1968, and is Senior Ladies Champion and Senior Dance Champion for 1970. This determined youngster is now working towards her fifth figure, a considerable achievement for a thirteen year old. She will be spending the month of August improving still further her skills on the ice at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Cricket Club,“ under the in- struction of Mrs. J Edith Malowney of Thornhill. In September Shirlene will bécdfné'a éffideht at St. Ciement’s School for Girls, to which she was recently accepted.

He lived in Woodbridge until 14 years ago, after coming here from Eng- land in 1951. He was formerly a technician with British Over- seas Airways Corporation. Mr. Flinders worked to es~ tablish Nobleton’s first ambu~ lance service, which has been operating for the past six years using a used vehicle purchased from DeHaviland. He is stil serving as a volunteer driver and ambulance attendant. Murray Sheardown, 40, of Nobleton told “The Liberal” this week that he will be a candidate for King Township Ward 3 on October 5. Although Mr. Sheardown lives in Ward 3 right on the Ward 3 boundary, he is going to run in Ward 3. The bound- ary at present is temporary, and he expects to be in Ward 3 when the boundary is finally fixed for subsequent elections he says. He was born and educated in Nobleton, but moved away to farm in Peel and Simcoe Coun- ties. ,He also had a trucking business and operated as a drover. returning to Nobleton in 1965. Candidate Sheardown is now a federal civil servant, being employed with the Department of Transport at Toronto Inter~ national Airport. With a minimum of planning and effort, activities such as family picnicking, swimming and just plain relaxing under a shady tree don’t have to be limited to weekends since the Claireville, Boyd and Bruce’s Mill Conservation Areas are only about one-half hour‘s drive from the city. Mr. Sheardown ran for King Council last fall and failed to win a seat by only seven votes. He was barely edged out by Councillor Margaret Britnell. His wife is the former Mary Keyhoe of the Nobleton area, and they have three children. , He is still a part time farmer. having purchased back the old S-heardown homestead in 1967. The Sheardown farm goes back to 1832 when it was established by his great grandfather. He is still a drover and in his spare times vocation is dealing in his spare time cattle. Mr. Sheardown is a three- year member of flhe Nobleton Lions Club, and. has been a club director. He says he has always been interested in pub- lic affairs. Ernest Crossland, 49, of Yonge Street, north of Aurora. told “The Liberal" this week he is considering running for King Township Council, but he hasn’t made up his mind yet whether it should be for mayor, or for the Ward 5 council seat. Mr. Crossland is another like-‘ 1y candidate who has been place-d outside his former home municipality of King by the boundary changes effective January 1. He will be in New- market‘s area and will have to make property arrangements to qualify for election in King. Long a prominent farm and community leader in the King Township and Newmarket areal Mr. Crossland says he is consid. ering running and there is a very good possibility he will. Any Night Enjoy A Supper After Swim A 21~year resident of King, he was on the township council for four years. He was defeat~ ed in last year’s election. A long-time member of the Newmarket Lions Club, Mr. Crossland has been club presi- dent, zone chairman, deputy- governor and district governor. He is president of. the New- market Progressive Conserva- tive Association.

' For those already living in a rural location, the conservation areas offer excellent recreation- al opportunities for swimming, boating, walks along nature trails and other outdoor activi- ties. The 1,600 acre Claireville Con- servation Area is the 13th area to be developed by the Metro Conservation Authority as an all-season recreational facility. It is located off Highway 7, just west of Highway 50 on the northwestern outskirts of Metro. The Boyd Area is located just north of Woodbridge, between Highways 27 and 4-00, while the Bruce's Mill Area is twa miles east of Woodbine Avenue on the Gormley-Stouffville Road.

But he con- siders that the new Official Plan, as now before council, has certain items in it that should be corrected. Mr. Grassland says that if he runs, it will be because he is interested in the fate of the township. and because there are some things he wants to see accomplished. He particularly wants to see the roads-needs study continued and its recom- mendations carried out.- He says there is a need to continue the township road gravelling program. ‘ The ‘Niagara Regional Coun- cil will have to raise the money for the transitional fund from the region, Municipal Af- fairs Minister Darcy McKeough said recently. The Minister rejected a re- quest by the council to consi- der the fund of $1,400,000 as an outright grant to the region. He opposes the new Official Plan provisions that would rule out all new sewer systems and sewage treatment plants in built-up areas of King Town- ship. He says the residents Mr. McKeough met with the finance committee and mlumci- pal representatives to discuss final budget problems and the transitional adjustments. ‘The Minister said the pro~ v‘ince has already granted the Niagara Region $2,500,000 for regional projects. The new money he said is 10 per cent of last year’s estimated total expenditures of $27,000,000. Asked if he thought regional government in the Niagara area was progressing satisfactorily, Mr. McKeoug-h said it is too early to tell. “It will be the second term of council before we will know how successful it really is. In the meantime there are many problems to over- come.” He said there was no founda- tion to the rumors that the re- gional government was going to cost the cities 22 per cent on their tax bills. The transitional fund was es- tablished by the Minister to equalize the tax rate for muni- cipalities in Niagara. Find out what’s happening . .

The west side of the township lost its high school because there were no locations with sewers. Now the ‘new high school is going to be placed on Welling- ton Street in Aurora." he says. Commenting on the new township Official Plan contro- yersey now raging in King, the Holland Marsh candidate says there is opposition to it in his area because a lot of people would like to retire to smaller homes. “The Official Plan’s pro- posed minimum restric- tions on the size of house. in relation to the money available. puts a new home pretty well out of reach for gardeners and work- ers," says Mr. Van Luyk. e o t e In Ward One of King Town- ship the situation seems to be pretty well in a,state‘of sus- pense.

I would like to be involved in regional affairs, therefore it is possible I will be running for mayor," con~ eluded former councillor Cross- land. Jack Van Luyk, 64. of An- snorveldt (RR 2. Newmarket) intends to run for the Ward 6 (Holland Marsh) seat on King Township Council. “The Liber a1" learned this week. He was a member of his local} district school board for 17‘ years. When the school boards were joined together into the township school board, he was a member for five years. He was township school board chairman during the last year of its existence before it was amalgamated into the new county board last year. Long one of the Holland Marsh's prominent citizens. Mr. Van Luyk ran for council once before many years ago, and has served on many public bodies. Long a market gardener-bus- inessman, Mr. Van Luyk came to King Township from Ham- ilton in 1933. He is a native of Holland, as is his wife, the former Gertrude Oosterhuis. They have three children, one a nurse at Newmarket, one a nurse at Richmond Hill, and a son employed at the family farm. They also have five grandchildren. For a long time he has been active as chairman of the H01- land Marsh Drainage Commit- tee that controls water lévels on the marsh. -Mr. Van Luyk has also been ‘ president of the Holland Marsh Ratepayers’ Association for about 28 years. In this post he has been intimately involved in the development of the marsh area. He says he has seen the area developed ‘pretty At Your Favorite Newstand well to the full. so that the ratepayers association isn‘t so active any more. The marsh has good roads and other com- munity facilities of high mind'- and now, he says. But that being admitted, he also stresses that a councillor must always work for the best interest of the whole township. In Ward One of King Town- ship the situation seems to be pretty well in a, statepf sus- pense. It seems unlikely that any new candidates will appear until the incumbent councillor. Mrs. Margaret Britnell, makes a definite move into the mayor- alty race. Winning Ward 1 would be a much more formidable task for a newcomer if Mrs. Britneu opts out of the mayoralty race and runs for the Ward 1 council seat. Members of the King City Board of Trustees are consid- ered possible candidates. espec- ially Chairman Jim Wilkins. But Mr. Wilkins left on vaca- tion to his birthplace in' the British Isles last weekend. and at the time of leaving had not declared intention of running for township council.
