An interesting adjunct the popular Black C Pioneer Village is the Da (Dee-91h Barn Museum. Dalziel Barn Museum Tells Story Of Pioneers; Of equal interest is the barn itself which was built in 1809 by Johannes Schmidt, and later purchased by John Dalziel. His family used it as a barn for over 100 years. The barn formed part of the nucleus for the development of Black Creek Pioneer Village. Now used as a museum. it con- tains exhibits of early life in Ontario including: flax process- The museum houses an in- teresting collection of Canaâ€" diana and is open as part of the village to the public. ing. stump-pulling. meat pro- cessing. sugar bush. small archives. 3 display of homespun, and demonstrations of weaving. Last but not least. there is the internationally-famous 19th cen- tury toy collection. unusual wooden carvings of pioneer ar- tisans at work. and a display of NEWMARKET _ w. c. SwanekJ a‘subdivider who says he reach-i ed an agreement with East Gwillimbury Tmmship allowing him to build 242 homes on land now in this town, has charged that council has stalled his pro- ject since January and the delay has cost him $100,000. The town's planning committee has told the. developer it cannot consider the DropOsal since Mr. Swanek is not the registered owner of the land. If these young people are benefit- ing from the school program, the board has a point, but when it comes to purchasing time in a. sheltered workshop we have to agree with Newmarket Trustee Jack Hadfield. who argued that the decision taken by the board is “an emotional one”. The board's brief points out that the non-retarded are entitled to an education in board operated schools Up to the age of 21, and it asks for the same right for the retarded. Few of them reach the stage where they have a trade that can make them independent. however, and the Deparhnent of Soda] and Family Services and parents each pay $35 a month to help defray costs. The balance is made up by local associations for the mentally retarded. At present the retarded are edu- cated in special schdol's administer- ed by the board. Young people from eight to 18 may attend. The maj- ority are then ready for the shelter- ed workshop where they learn skills that can help them gain employment in industry, or may remain at the workshop where they earn a small salary. Mr. Hadfield pointed out that training in a sheltered workshop is a form of manpower training or oc- (rupational therapy, and should there- fore be financed by another depart- ment of education â€"- not by the loc- al school board. This makes it doubly difficuIt to understand the board’s decision tak- en June 21 to petition the Depart- ment of Education to ask for pér- mission to purchaSe training in a sheltered workshop for the train- able retarded. 'A number of serious and tragic accidents have taken place recently in Southern York Region. Combinâ€" ed with this has been our personal observation of traffic conduct and etiquette. There has also come a report from local citizens. They went to work in Thornhill and clock- ed traffic. Large numbers of ve- hicles were found to be travelling at utterly fantastic speeds. We are speaking now of 10cal streets and roads, and not provincial high- ways. Following a provincial directive to reduce education spending, York County Board of Education last spring set up a committee on pro- grams and costs, to prepare recom- mendations indicating which prog- rams should be reduced, eliminated. continued but reduced. continued as is, expanded or replaced by programs that might be more effective. _ It seems apparent that quite a number of vehicles are being oper- ated in an inconsiderate and obstrep- erous manner. Speeding is partic- ularly prevalent. Spinning and screeching of tires. along with the. unnecessary and annoying roaring of engines. is creating an intoler- ablv high level of noise pollution in built up areas. We recently watched a huge fan- dem grave] truck “run” a traffic light with air horn yowling at Bath- urst Street and Maple Sideroad.

You name it. Some 300 bargain seekers sniffed and picked and groped through a myriad of 46 bicycles. musical instru- ments. Sportsman‘s items. car radio's. dishes, ladies apâ€" parel. tools. etc. Helping them to make up their minds, rattling off the bids in traditional fashion were auctioneers Clarke Prentice of Markham Road and Stan Pollard of Keswick.

These lat- ter are entitled to small government pensions and to training beyond secondary school level, but pensions and the training are not financed by boards of education. They are financed by other departments of government. If he wants to go to a community college or' university the board does not “purchase training” for him to the age of 21. He is on his own. If the parents want and are able to pay his tuition fees he is fortunate. If not, he may get a government loan, but it is a loan and he must pay it back on graduation. We agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Hadfield. It would be a mistake to compel the ratepayers to direct education dollars to keeping all re- tarded young people in a sheltered environment up to age 21. They need help. There is no question a- bout that, but it is not the function of regional boards of education to provide this‘ help beyond the pres- ent level. A normal student may spend sev- en years in secondary schools â€" grades 9 to 13 â€"- then he must pay the $543 a year for tuition. If the student is bright and industrious he will finish in five years â€"â€" at about age of 18 or 19. From there on he must pay for his education. (‘ost of educating a secondary school student is estimated at $1,104 a year. The local board pays $543 and the remainder comes from proâ€" vincial grants. Cost of educating a retarded child attending school for a full day is estimated at $1,086 a year. Grants are the same in both cases. Education of the retarded is the most expensive type of education of- fered by the board. There are about three times as many teachers per pupil enrolment in these schools as inâ€"any other schools in the region. Grants are provided at the same lev- el as for secondary school students. was just a few days before a simils ar type of truck was in one of the year’s worst accidents at that inter- section. Youthful “car jockeys” seem to be another of the major groups that are making our streets uncomfort- able and even dangerous. Altogether there just seems to be too high a degree of immaturity and boorish manners on the roads. Some- how the level of responsibility a- mong drivers needs to be raised. Probably all that is needed is for drivers to stop and think a little bit. Unpleasant as it may be for peo- ple to be hauled up short by a police- man, there are undoubtedly some who need to be reminded of their traffic manners in this way.

Light Shines In Darkest Africa! In The Footsteps 0f Stanley And Livingstone Probably the most exciting summer holiday and study ever offered to Canadian students will find three waves of them heading for Kenya in July un- der a program introduced by a group of teachers known as Ship’s School Association. All its members are interested in participatory education, and give freely of their time so that the costs to students may be as low as possible. Travel, study. seminars, movies and guided tours make up a concentrated supply of knowledge. This African Safari will take us to Nairobi (Kenya) via Lon- don and Frankfurt. It will take us across Africa “to Mombassa on the shores of the Indian Ocean. The advance details des- cribed lhere cannot do justice‘ to the exceptional journey of adventure thus offered. Since we will be travelling on safari. large numbers of animals will be seen in their natural habitat. It will be an exciting experi- ence. but quite safe insofar as human precautions can make it. One highlight of Nairobi will be a visit with African students to their village and participation in a barbecue. Game parks to be visited will be Nairobi 'Nat- Nairobi National Park is 44 square miles in extent, but Tsavo Park is over 8,000 square miles in area, and is notable for the hippos of Mzima Springs, eleâ€" phants of Mudanda Rock, and the large game herds (includ- ‘ing rhino and lions) of the Lug- ‘ard Falls area. Its attractions include the Aruba Dam, where herds of buffalo and elephants come to drink.

So, let us take a look at Lon- don‘s attractions. London is considered by many to be the most exciting city in the world. Its famous buildings echo the deeds of a thousand years. More recently. London has been dub- bed a "swinging" city. and its influence on the fashions of teenage clothes - styles has been profound. Certainly, Carnâ€" aby Street, London, is a house- hold word in Canada today. It is difficult to trace the visits of each individual stu-‘ dent from our area. HOWever. suffice to say that they never had a dull moment in seeing this famous old city, and learnâ€" ing something of the great heri- tage which its people have pas- sed on to the whole world. southern England at the end of our safari.

In West- minster Hall (the Great Hall of William Rufus. died 1100), the House of Commons met over 300 years, being first called to Westminster Hall ‘by Edward I. When Henry VIII decided he would no longer reside in the Palace of Edward the Confes- sor at Westminster, it became the sole abode of Parliament.‘ The {present Parliament Build- ings were built following the great fire of 1834. and opened for continuous government in 1852.

Kennedy claimed ‘he had re- ceived many complaints from tenants in Mississauga about restricted hours and suggested the Department of Health “has over-reacted and the regula- tions are more severe than nec- essary.” To back up his argument, he offered three sets of relevant data: --Records show there were fit) fatalities in apartment pools in 1970. and only one in 1969. «There were four fatalities in hotel and motel pools in 1970. and two in 1969. over-reacted am: we tions are more severe than nec- essary."

The BBC and the Vancouver radio station coupled the story with a taped recording of a song by Vera Johnson ~~ “Pierre Trudeau.” It‘s a jolly little song with catchy words 1 and rhythmn that implores people to sing along.

My friends and I were caught clapping and singing just for the sheer joy of doing: so. In file Sp oilighl: Vera Johnson was tired when I met her last week. In the space of one week, her professional folksinging career had seen her in London, England, for two nights, New York city for one night, Regina for one night, Toronto for two nights and Montreal to end the week. A grandmother of four and a gutsy, earthy type, Vera has a firm grasp on the world, an unusual understanding of its joys and the talent to set it all down in song for others to enjoy. Dear Sir: A Your editorial of June 24 “Philanthropists Needed" begs for contributions of parklands, athletic fields, arenas, etc. In ‘a recent issue of anbther Weekly newspaper in the Re- gion, it is reported that a New- market developer has donated a 10-acre park site to the town. Why does this happen in New- market but not in Richmond Hill, m- in [some other munici- pality of the region? The lack of parkland com- plained of in your editorial is a direct result of the constraint on land development which has existed here for the past 10 to 15 years. The developer in Newmarket â€" would he have been moved to donate 10 acres of parkland if he had not received something in return â€" such as the appro- rwftwisrs'imply {hat some chic- kens are coming home to roost val of his subdivision? Because no one has yet deâ€" vised a more economical method of financing the needs of a municipality, we must still satisâ€" fy ourselves with the old. pro- ven method, whereby people at- tract commerce. investment. and industry. all of which produce taxes and eventually, the means to satisfy the needs of the com- munity for recreational and other required services. u Mariposa brought the folksinger here for her first concert with them in 1968. At that concert Joni Mitchell. now internationally famous, was emcee and she found one of Vera’s songs so moving that she cried on stage while the Mariposa audience gave the singer a. standing ovation. The song was “Jesus Was A Preacher” and made an anology of Jesus’ way of living and the life-style of idealistic youth today. With the rock opera “Jesus Christ Super Star” and so many pop tunes following that same theme today, that particular title has the hollow ring of the cash register behind it. But not so with Vera, she sang it then to ears unaccustomed to such songs and it came across as sincere.
