The new Town of Vaughan, under regional government, will be com- posed of the present township less the mile and a quarter strip between .Yonge and Bathurst Streets and between Highway 7 and the Vaughan- King Townline, and plus the Village of Woodbridge. The steering com- mittee was composed of representa- tives of both municipalities â€" Ad- ministrator James McDonald, Treasâ€" urer Howard Burkholder, Reeve Garnet Williams and Councillor John Gilbert for Vaughan and Reeve John McLean, Deputy-reeve Ab Hollings- head and Clerk-Treasurer Bert Young for Woodbridge.

In order to be fair, such a ban would have to be accompanied by guarantees assuring the civil servants of satisfactory wages and workingAconditions. V "r. v- _._V The federal administration of former Prime Minister Lester Pear- son was in error when it granted the civil service the right to strike. Hugo McPherson, the former presi- dent of the National Film Board who at one time found himself the centre of a, controversy with four unions who were battling it out for the right to represent film board personnel remarked, “I think Ottawa never understood what it was getting into when it decided to unionize the public service and my personal impression is that the post office is the first and horrible big test of power. The a strike in the provincial hydro sys- tem. Both the post office and hydro are vital public services and it seems unthinkable that their employees should be allowed to strike and create undue hardship, and in some cases chaos, for the vast majority of our citizens. Duringithe past few months the people of Ontario have had to cope with a national postal strike. They are now called upon to contend with Uniform building stand- ards for Ontario will be a very healthy thing. For several years the Township of Markham and the Town of Richmond Hill have elected councils by wards. The practice has proven very success- ful, since it assures that every sec- tion of the municipality has a voice at the council table. The new Towns of Markham and Richmond Hill will continue to use the ward system for elections, with three members of the municipal council (including the mayor) who will sit on the regional council and repreâ€" sentatives on the two school boards, being elected over the whole munic- ipalityu But they won't cut hous- ing costs very much unless they are modernized and streamlined to recognize new methods of prefabricatng homes. So says Napier Simpson Jr. of Thornhill, architect and chairman of the Mark- ham Township Planning Board. . Vaughan Township and the Village of Woodbridge, on the other hand, had never introduced the ward sys- tem and so, on the advice of the steering committee set up to study the impact of regional government, have decided to continue to elect all representatives on a municipality- wide basis. Mr. Simpson was com- menting on a recent an- nouncement by Municipal Affairs Minister Darcy Mc- Keough. Mr. Simpson told the Ontario Municipal Associa- tion annual convention this month in Ottawa that the Ontario Government will im- plement uniform building standards in the province as soon as possible. Labor Minister Dalton Bales told the convention his department will appoint two review committees to work out the practicalities of implementing uniform building standards.

Mr. Milani agreed with Architect Simpson that stan- dards allowing housing pre- fabrication would be one of the keys to cutting home costs.

He is president of Milani and Milani Hold- ings Limited. a firm with major development interests in Vaughan Toxmship after having run out of develop- ment land in North York. Mr. Milani said one of the reasons for higher housing costs today is that there is no competition in land. The municipalities and the prov- ince restrict land use. Spec- ulators grab all the available approved land, assemble it and control it. He said another higher cost factor stems from the fact that lot services now Speaking at the annual convention of the Canadian Bar. Convention Judge John Parker, chairman of Brit- ish Columbia’s mediation commis- sion, said civil servants should “under no circumstances” be given the right to strike. Judge Parker called the law which allows federal civil servants to strike the “most incredibly inept legislation ever passed in Canada.” The principle of compulsory arbi- tration for public services that are essential to the community’s survival should by now be well established. The federal and provincial govern- ments should waste no time in enactâ€" ing the necessary legislation prohib- iting strikes in certain vital services; Once such a list is prepared, the unions involved should be warned that strikes will be prohibited and compulsory arbitration imposed if normal collective bargaining pro- cedures break down. Our elected representatives should not be de- terred from their appointed task by political pressures exerted by certain irresponsible elements in the trade union movement. other unions are all watching. The federal government is in a bad posi- tion. The unions are not going to mediate and it’ll end up, I’m sure, with the government having to say ‘bang’, this is it”. The alternative is a continuing series of emergencies and a contin- uing war of nerves in those basic services on which the community’s survival depends. For the past four years represen- tation on the Vaughan Township Council has been fairly widespread, and all areas, rural and urban, front, centre or back have been reasonably well represented. This has not always been the case. Rural voters have been in the habit of going to the polls, have kept up with the trans- actions of council and have gone to the polls in larger numbers than those living in built-up areas, so that for many years the farming com- munity held the balance of voting power and elected more men to council than did the urban communâ€" ity. It was only the concerted effort of a number of concerned people to get out the voters in the built-up areas, which corrected this im- balance. The danger of a recurrence of the unfair distribution of council seats remains, however. This year’s pro- test against the greatly increased taxes in urban areas has awakened an interest in local politics in these parts of the township. The people living in the built-up areas now are aware of what goes on in the town- ship and of ,the fact that they can by hard work and determination be rep- resented where the action is. October 5 gives them an opportunity to wield their newly-found power at the polls. This could mean that the agricultural areas are left without representation. must be paid for in cash. rather than being amortized over ,50 or 60 years as they were in the community of past years. The Ontario H.O.M.E. program was a be- ginning in solving this prob- lem, he said. Metro has continually been 10 years behind in the provision of development land. What has been lacking in the last five to seven years has been freedom for the housing industry to plan and program work. This is because the industry is con- trolled by municipal and provincial planners, Mr. Mil- ani said. Markham Township Plan- ner Simpson said he hopes uniform building standards come sooner or later. Al- ready many Ontario munici- palities go along with the National Building Code, either fully or partly. But most larger munici- palities, including the cities. vary in their requirements. These different standards grew up through municipal history and tradition, but they interfere with such things as contract tenders, he said. “The building standards around Metro are all kind of ‘nuts‘.” said Mr. Simpson. For instance. in Metro no 10, 1970 Mitsic Director At Seneca Plans Free Concert Series This Fall Extra-curricular activities at Seneca College are being ex- tended this fall to include a musical program, and a director of music has been appointed to get under way. Heading the music depart-1 ment at the Willowdale-based community c o 1 1 e g e, which serves the County of York and the Borough of North York, is William McCauley, formerly of York University, a well known composer, conductor and ar- ranger of musical scores for films, television shows, con- certs and symphony orchestras. Dr. McCauley will concen- trate on his new role at Seneca, but will also maintain his in- terest in a similar capacity, as director of music at O’Keefe Centre, a post which he has held since 1960. Dr. McCauley ‘plans to launch a series of weekly concerts at the college, featuring all kinds of music, individual artists, groups, brasses, choirs. orches- tras, bands and rock groups. The series is due to start early this fall, soon after Seneca classes begin, and they will be open to fall, soon after Seneca classes begin, and they will be open to staff, students, and to the pub- lic [at no charge. When Seneca’s new 1,100 seat theatre-auditorium opens late‘: this fall, some of the concerts will be scheduled in it. “The new auditorium is a great facility,” says Dr. Mc- Cauley. “The semi-circular seat- ing capacity goes right down to the stage.

This is allowed in most areas out~ side Metro. In Toronto cedar shingles are allowed on roofs. but not in North York, he said. Nearer home, the building requirements in Vaughan Township are absolutely dif- ferent from those in Mark- ham Township. Architect Simpson said adoption of a uniform pro- vincial building code will also be important for rural municipalities that haven’t yet gotten around to adont- ing the National Building Code or any other modern standards. The construction of shacks in rural areas would be restricted. But uniform building standards must allow more prefabricated frame con- struction of homes if costs are to be reduced very much, in his opinion. “The only answer for lower cost housing is some form of mass production. For instance. to my knowledge Alcan prefabricated homes aren’t accepted anywhere in the Toronto region,” Mr. Simpson said.

He has conducted the Toronto Summer Symphony Orchestra, the To‘ ronto Symphony and the Irish Radio Symphony. H15 own compositions include Concerto for Horn, winner of the Alberta Centennial Award, and numerous works based on Canadian themes. Born in Alberta, Dr. Mc- Cauley started his musical career before he was five years old, had his own orchestra at 17, and in years past was as- sociated with some of the best known orchestral names at the Royal York, Banff Springs and other well known Canadian hotels. For more than ten years he was composer and director of music for Crawley Films, a leading Canadian producer -of documentaries and other mo- tion pictures. He holds the ATCM, and has received both masters and doctors degrees in musical arts from the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY. While director of music at York, choirs under his direction won many festival awards, and in 1968 the Lincoln Trophy, the highest choral award in Canada. ipal Affairs Minister Darcy McKeough said the effic- iencies implicit in a system of uniform building and fire safety standards should al- leviate some of the serious housing problems now being faced. “We know that it doesn’t present the only solution to the housing crisis, but it is another decisive step in the right direction,” Mr. Mc- Keough said. The government has de- cided to place the responsi- bility with the Department of Labor. According to Labor Min- ister Bales, one of the com- mittees to be established will be responsible for drafting appropriate legislation. It will examine existing legis- lation in Ontario and resolve differences that exist be- tween municipal building by- laws, provincial standards, the National Building Code and the National Fire Code. “The second committee will advise on the necessary organization for effective in- spection of building stand- ards. approval procedures, uniform interpretation and enforcement, and developing staff. training and education programs.” Mr. Bales said. Hve added that a great deal of detail work has to be done My first contact with Eddie Midmer was about seven years ago when the Curtain Club enlisted his help as choreographer for a Christmas pantomime. I remember the way in whieh he produced an effec- A,. __L lblllullluv‘. u..v n --- tive dance routine by teaching the youngsters, most of whom had no previous experience in dancing, a few simple steps. He understood their limitations, and with considerable patience had a well-drilled chorus line in a very short time. Since then, the name of the Midmer Dance Academy has appeared many times in print in connection with various entertainments, and many young dancers to whom I have talked, and who are now successful profes- sionals, owe their training to the Midmer Academy. Eddie Midmer’s career had an unusual (and painful) beginning. He was advised to take dancing exercises when, as a boy of twelve in England, he was confined to a wheel-chair with crippling rheum- atism. It is unnecessary to add that his recovery was complete. Having once become interested in dancing, he studied at the Cunard Studios in London, and after getting his teacher’s certificate from the Imperial _Society of Teachers, opened his own danc« Eddie Midmer’s Dancing Career Had Unusual And Painful Beginning ln’the Spoflighl: ing school in East Ham, London.

Mr. McKeough said the idea of a universal system of building standards has strong appeal and will result in substantial efficiencies in the planning, design, admin- istration and construction of buildings, as well as in the processing and stocking 0‘ building materials. The Municipal Affairs Minister indicated the mat- ter of cutting housing costs through prefabrication and mass production is one of the things the government has in mind. Among the benefits result- ing from the adoption of un- iform standards should be that Ontam technology will be more capable of produc- ing buildings of architectural and functional quality in mass volume, he said. “It should also mean that industry will be able to re- duce and streamline our By MARY MONKS present system of complex. multi - purpose inventories, and expand its techniques for manufacturing buildings that are portable, demount- able and increasingly adapt- able," Mr. McKeough said. In March 1968 Halton East Tory MLA Jim Snow, a gen- eral contractor, urged the Legislature to adopt uniform building standards. Mr. McKeough in Septem- ber 1968 set up an advisory committee under an engin- eering consultant to explore the subject. The Carruthers Committee reported back in January 1970. Among its recommendations were the following: 0 Adoption of the Na- tional Building Code of Can- ada 1970 and the National Fire Code of Canada 1970; 0 Development of an On- tario Building Code during the transitory stage to in- clude necessary standards not now incorporated in the national codes. 0 A review of present legislation and the develop- ment of new legislation where necessary; 0 The appointment of two interim review committees: 0 The establishment of building inspection training and certification.
