It would operate under the federal government’s Opportunity For Youth Program, and run from June 25 to September 1. in co-operation with an information booth to be estabilshed on Yonge Street at Highway 7. A hostel for transient youth during the summer was proposed to Rich- mond Hill Town Council by a group of six young people Monday night. After intensive questioning by members of council, they left the meeting, following Mayor William Lazenby’s assurance. “We haven’t said no. If you strongly wish to get this thing going do come back. But this municipality is not going to commit itself until it knows what your proposal is exactly, particularly as to financing.” Members of the group are Marlene Yoteff, 101 Trayborn Drive; Bob Puem, 7 Stancroft JUNE 20, SUNDAY 11 am â€" Teston United Church, Sunday School anniversary service.

In reply to a question, he was assured that the group was asking no financial support from the municipality and that the group's budget is $6,000. The group warned that the Drive; Mike Brown, 130 Hard- ing Boulevard; Brad Playford, Brookside Drive; Kathy Wil- lock, 389 Tyneview Lane; and Janice Jones, 210 Richmond Street. The group warned that the‘ influx of youfchful hitchhikers will occur whether a hostel is provided or not. “The problems‘ without a hostel could well out-‘ weigh those with a hostel”, their spokesman pointed out. “You may find the kids sleep- ing in the {parks and in ditches, breaking into cars, with high vagrancy rates. This site is far from the residential areas. For us it will provide a learning ex- perience and summer employ- ment." Council’s questions rang- ed from sanitary and laun- dry facilities, to control of overflow demand for the 40 sleeping spaces. Reg- ional Councillor Donald Plaxton pointed out that one of the first steps would be to get health unit ap- proval of sanitary arrange- ments. The young people reported that it did not plan to provide showers but only rudimentary wash- ing up facilities with well water in basins and that the health unit also requir- ed prior approval by the municipality. p Mayor Lazenby questioned the 25c per night token charge, pointing out that in Europe where hostels have been pepu- lar for years, the nightly charge He felt the young peo- - is $1. ple were taking on a grave resâ€" lponsibility. “If I were in your shoes I would like to have the “ right arm of the law beside me," sitting past the 10 am deadline. He was assured that this was area in which volunteers could assist, property would be available and a telephone and alarm sys- j tern would be installed. “I’ve done a lot of soul-sear- ching on this project because I felt we would receive a re- quest of this nature,” stated Councillor Lois Hancey. “I think it is very worthwhile for the youth of this country to get to know the country. I have been very vociferous in the past on behalf of youth aid proâ€" jects I have supported, but I object most strongly. to the tokenism involved in the feder- al government’s present prog- ram. I think they have put the cart before the horse and. should have been erecting pro-‘ per buildings for this purpose in strategic places.

Newmarket Trustee Jack Hadfield was spokesman for the board in presenting a resolution Tuesday, rIahe third and final day of the convention. He cal- led on the association to sup- port a York County Board brief regarding financing of new schools which has been submit- ted to the Department of Mun- icipal Affairs and the Depart ment of Education. The brief contends thati school boards should have auth- ority to impose lot levies or dwelling unit fees on new dev- elopments to pay costs of pro- viding educational facilities for students who will move into these developments. a service. The board has re- cently been giving only condit- lonal approval to plans for new development in the region, ask- ing that the developer or mun- icipality involved pay a $900 dwelling unit fee to cover cap- ital costs to the board. Mr. Hadfield attended the convention for only the one day. He was present at the regular meeting of the board in Aurora on Monday. ArqdantityrofA beer was seized It points out that municipal- ities' impose lot levies for ser- vices such as sewers, water, roads, and that schools are also “Education â€"- Structured and Unstructured”. East Gwillimbury Trustee William Bales told the board Monday that a copy of the brief had been sent to the new Min- ister of Municipal Affairs, Dal- ton Bales, more than a month ago. “and the last time I talked to him he said he was serious- ly considering it.” Communications Officer Mrs. Margaret McLean went to Sud- bury last weekend to set up a display on communications, and remained for the conference.
