Dutch Visitors Enjoying a two month vaca- tion with their son and daugh- ter-'m-law Mr. and Mrs. Arnie van Velzen of Riverside Boule- vard, are Mr. and Mrs. Andries van Velzen from Wormer, in Northern Holland. An interest- ing point of the trip is that Mr. and Mrs. van Velzen Sr. won the holiday by entering a con- test in a Dutch magazine. The prize presented them with a wonderful opportunity to visit their three sons and one daugh- ter. all now living in the Tor- onto area. Their last visit to this country was twelve years ago. "This is just an instance of the mess the province has thrown this area in. It‘s a case of the forgotten people below Highway 7.

Reeve Stewart R u m b] e didn't agree that the problem was so simple. There Were only so many capital dollars available for township pro- jects each year, and the ming pool costs. "We should ask the school board to come forward with the final esti- mates," he said. Councillor Eldred King agreed with Reeve Rumble that certain things had hap- pened since council gave the swimming pool approval in principle. The p r o p o s e d northward move of the Metro boundary had also put the school board in a dilemma over Thornhill construction plans. he said. “We should meet with the school board to find out their several mounts agu. vuuucu agreed to refer this matter to a meeting in committee at. an early date.
