Sunshine Club The Sunshine Club would cer- tainly appreciate more senior citizens enjoying a get-together every Thursday afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at St. Mark’s Anglican Chapel (opposite the public school on Yonge Street). Thursday. October 8. the club members and friends, totalling 28, journeyed to the north and to the east to admire the au- tumn scenery in all its glorious colors. Lunch was eaten at‘ Gravenhurst and the seniors en- joyed a view of Buttermilk Falls near Dorset. They travelled on to Minden and the lake coun- try, then home by way of Lind- say. All were a little tired at the end of this trip but all were very appreciative of the oppor- tunity of seeing nature’s beau- ties at first hand. The following. day, the club held a craft and bake sale at St. Paul’s United Church in conjunction with a rummage salve sponsored by the UCW. Sunday November 1 will mark the first anniversary of the Sunshine Club. so why not come out now and join and en- joy the anniversary celebrations and the friendship and relaxa- tion that exists within the mem- bership. Call 773-5964 if you’d like to take advantage of the fellowship that is available in this club.

Proposed Is a develop- ment similar to n e a r b y Honeypot Skl Lodge on Dufferin Street in Vaughan Township. a spokesman for the owners told “The Liberal". The initial plans for con- struction during the first year include two or three T-bars, changing rooms and a restaurant. The snowmaking machin- ery is to be all-electric, creating no noise or exhaust. Petitions both for and against the project have been circulated in the area. King Township Council has heard some opposition to the project. Including a letter from the owner of adjacent land. Henry Bor- den of Tannery Hill Farm. The project is proposed by the operators of the for- mer Rouge Valley Ski Cen- tre in Scarboro. whose pro- perty was taken over this year by the Metro Conser- vation Authority for its new zoo.

Perhaps some residents of this community don‘t know that Number 2 is our own Bob Wall, a boy raised and schooled here until Hamilton Red Wings of Junior “A” standing took him under their wing. While play- ing with Hamilton Bob received the best defenceman award more than once. Bob also played in the American Hockey League and made a brief appearance in ‘the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings. He played for the Los Angeles Kings last year and is now with the Blues. Congratulations. Bob, for be- ing selected by the champions A strong resolution of pro- test has been sent by King Township Council to the proâ€" vincial government, charging insufficient supervision in the recent gas main rupture by road-building machinery on Yonge Street in Oak Ridges. Residents of the area and 300 children in Oak Ridges Public School had to be evacuated. The resolution which critic- ized Consumers Gas Company and the Department of Energy and Resources Management, was presented by Councillor Gordon Rowe, who lives in Oak Ridges and seconded by Coun- cillor Margaret Britnel-l. Mr. Rowe told “The Liberal” that the answers received from these two sources to earlier re-quests by the township for‘ ‘greater supervision to prevent a recurrence of a similar inci-l ‘dent. were unacceptable. "The gas company claimed there was no danger of an explosion. that if the escaping gas had been ignited. it would have only burned. I wonder what the people of Malton would have to say about that!" (Two years ago, a leaking gas main in that town was found to be the cause of an explosion and fire which destroyed several buildings, left a large number of people homeless and sent some to hos- pital. The physical result of that disaster is still visible in Malton). Councillor Gordon Rowe King Council Protests Liaison Lack In Ridges Gas Main Break In April Oak Ridges Barber Bill Craig warned King Town- ship Council of the danger of road-building equipment ruptur- ing the 12~inch gas main on ‘Yonge Street. He maintained the main should be located else- lwhere than alongside this busy highway where it is subject to all the vibrations of heavy traf- fic and warned that Oak Ridges could become another Malton. Council wrote Consumers Gas at that time and expressed fears of such a tragedy happen- ing here. They were assured an inspector would be making SPECIAL GARBAGE COLLECTION Please take notice that on Saturday, October 31st, 1970, there will be a collection of garbage (other than the normal household waste) for all resi- dents in the Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox Mulrhead Crescent Area Kindly be governed accordingly.

Ruff’n Reddies 21, Happy Go Luckies 15, Alley Cats 14, Happy Gang 12, Top Cats 11, Mae’s Maidens 10, Hopeless Hopefuls 9. Best triples were rolled by Gloria Bridges 603, (223) and Noreen Bridges 602 (219, 203). Singles 200 and over were bowled by Andrea Stemmle 203, 205; Lydia Findiesen 242, onâ€"site inspections and co-ord- inating the gas company's in- volvement with those of the road contractor. A letter to the Department of Energy and Resources. expressing the same fears, was answered with the reply that that government body had no agreement with Consumers Gas to compensate residents in the event of an ex- ploslon. Then September 28 arrived â€"â€"and council’s fears were real- ized. Because of clear skies and; a strong west wind the escap- ing gas fumes were dissipated, but continued to escape for four hours until the valves were closed. THE CFl‘lallenge 0 ‘Cancer Referring to thiS, Councillor} Rowe stated, "I’ve been toldi that it was not possible to close these valves when they were under high pressure -â€" but four hours is too long to my mind. There was evidently little it any liaison between the government agencies involved and the gas company. I would like to see that it doesn’t hap- pen again â€"- here, or anywhere else."

I really don't; believe there was proper sup- ervision, or proper liaison, es- pecially when a product as vol- atile as natural gas is con- cerned." ' Copies of the resolution were sentvto Consumers Gas Comp- any, Department of Energy and Resources Management and the provincial energy board. “We hope quite a few things will be moving, at least by a year from today,” he said. The project is proposed on 475 acres on the northwest corner of Highway 400 and the King Sideroad, just opposite the King Township Mun- icipal Building and police station. Engineers for the Old Forge Country Club and Recreation Centre project have suggested two or three alternative systems for sewer and water facilities, Mr. Tovell said. The site is bounded by Concession 6 and the 15th Sideroad on the other two sides. Proposed are a. ZOO-room hotel, 1,500-seat convention hall, ballroom, sports centre, theatre, medical centre, four skating rinks, two golf courses of 18 holes each, homes, and riding stables. Every adult should have a regular physical checkup to guard against cancer, says the Canadian Cancer Society. 1970 The proposed meeting be- tween the electorate and new councillor for Ward 5 Stewart Bell will be held at St. John’s Parish Hall, Jefferson. It is hoped to hold this important meeting two weeks from to- wnight (November 12) but due ‘to possible conflict of time and prior commitments another date may have to be selected. Please watch this column for the definite date and hour. Mr. Bell hopes to see a large number of the pubic present, and especially hopes there will be ample representations from all service clubs and groups in the ward. who have been work. ing with the residents in any way whatsoever. He hopes to have as guest} advisers at the meeting William} Hodgson MLA, York North; Gor- don Rowe, regional councillor- elect Town of Richmond Hill; Robert Houghton, trusteeâ€"elect for Richmond Hill on the York \County Board of Education. This roster should certainly stimulate the interest of the public to attend this meeting, which is being held for its benefit. Mr. Bell is seeking to learn the problems and needs of all the people he will represent on Richmond Hill Council. thought Nobody did. Least of all us.

The younger members of the choir (grades 1 and 2), sang a motion song “Climb Up Sunshine Mountain”, the older group sang “Count Your Bless- ings” and the combined group rendered “Can A Little Child Like Me”. The leaders, Mrs. Marie Cole and Mrs. Betty Bol- ton spend a lot of time and effort with these children and I am sure they would appreci- ate it, if some of the parents would come out and lend their support.

KIauke-Wall Marriage Vows Exchanged In St. Mary Immaculate RC Church Dr. Deuison compared the new drugs being used with those in common use by past generations.

Father John Web-t er sang the nuptial mass and heard the young couple ex- change their wedding vows. Traditional wedding music was played by Organist Mrs. Fran- ces Young and the Soloist was Mrs. Madeline Cameron. She sang “Sweet Sacrament Di- vine,” “Ave Maria” and "Panis ‘Angelicus” during the cere- ‘mony. “What has happened to me is probably typical of what is happening to the public generally. “Everybody understands alcohol and tobacco.

After a wedding trip to Que. bec, Maine, New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Klauke have taken up resi- dence in Oak Ridges.
