Regular season play began Monday. This column will show all games and standings weekly, as space and regular delivery of correctly’completed score sheets allows. Please see that the sheets reach here after every game. There are 40 teams this year (as opposed to 24 last), and unless the score sheets are received on time, and correct, the game cannot be reported.

Mr. and Mrs. Rhind have been superintendents of ' the Sunday school for some time. and have been well liked by all. They are leaving shortly It would appear from his evidence that the develop- ment which has taken place along Highway 7 is a real mixture of commercial and industrial uses. It would also appear that this was partially brought about by the fact that in 1948 industrial uses were permitted on the lands abut- ting the railroad right-of-way up to a distance of 1,320 feet. There is only one residential zone proposed in the subject bylaw and that is located on Sussex Avenue and is as a re- sult of a special note con- tained in the Official Plan, which reads as follows: Kunio Hidaka, who is planL ning director of the town and a planner with considelj- able experience, was called to give evidence in support of the proposed by-law. It should be pointed out that the projected planning for the area is complicated by the fact that there are no storm or sanitary sewers in the area. tural holdings for the in- terior lots. The evidence in- dicated that the residential uses have prevailed over the years on the smaller lots but that the interior and larger lots are for the most part vacant.

I“! The evidence of the plan- ner indicated a careful study of the area had been made and that an attempt has been made to zone existing uses property without using the holding technique. The great difficulty, how- ever, is the lack of sewer services and the desire of the municipality to control any industrial development. In order to accomplish this end most of the area has a hold- ing designation (H) which must be removed by a bylaw before development can take place. In this way a site plan will be attached to the bylaw and in Mr. Hidaka’s opinion, will afford the best control. HIGHWAY 407 Mr. Hidaka explained that in 1968 the Department of Highways filed a plan, which was registered, showing that the alignment of the pro- posed Highway 407 will greatly affect several lots in the eastern end of the sub- division. He stated aiso that because of this projected highway the area should be protected against the pre- mature development in low performance uses which could destroy the future pro- spect of high performance uses. iaw will be maintained in this area until the residents request a change to the in- dustrial use.” JUNIOR.

COUNCIL RESTUDY In the light of this the board will not approve at this time the bylaw as it ape plies to Lots 96 and 97 in the ownership of the Mat- thews to give council an op- portunity to restudy the mat- ter.

Moreover, the lot is isoâ€" lated within the area zoned (H)HC 1 and compliance with H02 zone standards would require the acquisition and rezoning of an adjacent par- cel.

This absorbing account and analysis of the Quebec crisis was writ- ten by a newspaper columnist and a lawyer. The authors out- line the history of the FLQ. the events of October, and the Gov- ernment handling of the crisis. They attempt to answer the question whether the invocation of the War Measures Act, with the subsequent restriction of civil liberties, was really justi- fied by the dangers of the times, or “was it the Govern- ment giving reassurance by do-‘ ing something”.

Brief and thoroughly excellent portraits of 10 young Ameri- cans, by a reporter whose inter- est was not in presenting “typ- ical” American young people, but in portraying individuals. He was drawn to these 10 by “a certain intensity, a way of driving experiences to ex- tremes”. ; Mr. Lukas does not attempt to work out explanations, or deal with psychological implica- tions, but, in writing, he be- came especially fascinated with the complex relationships be- tween generations. What em- erges is an eloquent portrayal of young people growing up, of hopes and dreams, of parents and conflict. And The Tiger Leaps by Jean Beattie. Miss Beattie is a To- ronto journalist whose interest in the problems of delinquent teenagers began after she had been knocked on the head by a young prowler. Curiosity about her attacker led her into the world of teenage dropouts and minor offenders. Convinced that the ordinary processes of law were not dealing adequate- ly with some of the individual problems, she set out to help. The story of her long-time in- volvement with the "Saints", a Toronto teenage group of male delinquents, her continued ef- forts to help in spite of dis- appointments and defeats. reads like a fast-paced novel. Sisterhood Is Powerful; an anthology of writings from the women’s liberation movement bee, but less significant as a treatise for revolution than as a well-written and haunting autobiography. There were two other ob- jectors who appeared at the hearing but the board is of the opinion that the sub- stance of their objections is not sufficient to prevent the approval of Bylaw 2551 as it applies to their lands. ‘In all the circumstances. therefore, the board will ap- prove the application except for the matters which have already been dealt with in this decision. The evidence shows the R.IND zoning was placed on the west half of Lot 33 and should have been placed on the east half. Counsel for the township suggests that the east half be zoned R.IND and the west half be zoned (H) R.IND. The board will ap- prove an amendment to the bylaw to correct this situa- tion without further notice or hearing. on Lot 47. The board again feels that further study should be given to these two properties. There appears to have been a drafting error in the case of Lot 33 owned by John A. Hester who owns half of the lot and has a frontage of 50 feet. This board will also not approve at this time the pro- posed (H) R.IND land use on Lots 47 and 102 because building permits have been issued and, as has already been stated, a gas station has been built and is operating It was decided that since the community has grown so rap- idly that the annual student awards night should be dism continued in favor of establish- ing a fund available to students in need of financial help or in emergencies.

The CORPORATION of THE TOWN of MARKHAM He said as of January lst the former Township of Markham was dissolved by the Region of York Act and along with it the Union.Local. The present Town Council, he said, in an attempt to show its intentions of good faith, did on March 9th, voluntarily recognize the Local as the bargaining agent for‘the employees rather than force the Union into re-certification procedures and delay negotiations. The spokesman said the Town has offered an across-the-board wage increase and has indicated it is willing to do a re-evaluation of certain job classifications. He said the Town is also prepared to negotiate a formula for reducing the work week without a loss in take-home pay. He pointed out the Town is confident that most services can be maintained at a reasonable level and said further that no lock-out would take place. Any employees who want to work will be allowed to do so, with protection if it becomes necessary. In the meantime, the Town will continue its efforts to resolve the situation. Money is the main point in dispute and the Town claims there has been no reasonable proposal made by the Union. Union demands for wage increases range from 1.8% for one employee to 59.8% for another. The Town views this as discriminatory because of the great difference in requests on behalf of individual employees. The Union is also demanding a 95¢ per hour wage increase if there is a reduction in the work week from 45 to 40 hours. The Union claims negotiation-s were started in November of last year and when no progress was made it applied for Conciliation claiming the Town refused to negotiate in good faith. A spokesman for the Town said today that this Council could not negotiate because it did not assume office until January 1st of this year and by that time the Union had applied for Conciliation. From the Town’s standpoint this did not give the new Council time to consider the Union demands and was an indication that the Union had no intention of trying to negotiate in good faith with them. It appears that the Union have made up their minds to strike in spite of all reasonable attempts by the Town, Conciliation and Mediation to resolve the problem. Markham, Ont.: Employees of the Town of Markham went on strike Mon- day to back up wage demands made by their Union. Charges of Town Council’s refusal to bargain were made by Union negotiators and bargain- ing was taken to Conciliation where talks broke down. At the direction of Council, a request for Mediation was made by the Town’s negotiators and after several hours with the Mediation Officer it became evident no satisfactory results were to be gained.
