FRIDAY NIGHT SOCIAL EVENING ~â€"- This past Friday night something new was tried. The social evening was held in the ladies and escorts room with music provided by a Wurlitzer. Shades of Glenn Miller. How many times did we all, when much younger, go to the nearest malt Shop and dance to music thus provided. Not all the entertainment will be provided thus. Some even- ings there will be live enter- tainment. Why not come out some Friday night and share in the fun? Maybe we can even get some live entertainment from those attending. Do you play the spoons, rattle the bones, play the piano? Please come up and give it a try. I can assure you that your efforts will be greatly appreciated. MYSTERY -â€" Something is going to happen July 23. Have- M: a clue. This is a Friday TAKE ON THE CHAMPS - The other week some members were looking for partners for a game of euchre. Now these members play almost continu- ous euchre. A pair of the weaker sex took on the champs and beat them to a stand-still. A few evenings later we did the same thing. Even skunked them‘ once. Not bad for a pair of fe-i males. Bet the same thing couldn't happen if we were playing tournament wise. MEMORIES â€"- Shades of service life! Recently heard of an event that brought to mind when in service my job was in- noculation parades. Oh the joy of getting those pay-books and finding out that the lads had been renigging on their shots. After a few days all sections were posted of the impending parade. How those lads used to try and talk their way out of it. Seems some lads just rec- ently had to have shots for a trip overseas. Got the usual re- sults. Just because they're big boys, the feeling is just the same now as in those times. How about it. lads? I was pleased when Municipal Affairs Minister Dalton Bales, rose this week to introduce am- endments to the Assessment Act. HAPPY BIRTHDAY -â€" This time of year seems to have the most birthdays. Until recently there hadn’t been a rumble of one of these feast times. This week may we extend sincere birthday greetings to Sheila Topper (belated), Peggy Lewis, Adelaide Mills. Sally Cooke, Maureen Mills. May you all celebrate many more of the same. However. my hopes were quickly dashed when I found the not failed to deal with the assessment shift problem which hit York Region homeowners so leverer last year. When market value assess- ment was introduced in the calculation of 1970 property taxes 21 year ago. tax increases of 50% to 100% were not un- common. Incensed taxpayers jammed meetings all over the region as they protested the 20% shift in the tax burden from indus- trial and commercial taxpayers to homeowners. Finally the province passed two acts which provided for a little temporary relief. but did not deal with the shift in but- den from one class of assess- ment to another. Former Municipal Affairs Minister Darcy McKeough promised relief in the next ses- sion. That promise has been forgotten by his successor. In reply to my question. Mr.‘ Bales said there were a lot of unsettled appeals and also the Towns of Markham and Vaughan were appealing all as- sessments. So the department had decided to wait until the outcome of these cases was settled. In my view, the municipali-‘ ties should be given the right to‘ apply a class factor to the as- sessment so that industrial and commercial taxpayers. as a class. having become accustom. ed to a certain share of the total tax burden. will not re- ceive a major gift as they did last year in Markham and Vaughan at the expense of the homeowners.

That time is fast approaching. The bus will leave Legion Court August 21 at 0900 hours. It would be nice to see a packed bus â€"â€" it would cheer our president's heart no limit. Last year he grinned all the way there and back. Since then we have lost a good num- ber to the "grim reaper“. This year a good turnout would show that they are not forgotten. How about it? VISITING? â€" Recently de-l cided that it was time I paid a‘ call on the inmates at Bedlam; Abbey. What a fiasco that turned out to be! The warden thought that as it was such a nice day. the least I could do would be to cut the grass. Seems the rest of the inmates had other chores ('2) to do. The‘ only thing the warden forget to tell me was that there was some two acres to cut. By the time I found this fact out, it was late at night and the lan- tern had run out of oil. So I went home. Still haven’t got the aches out of my bones. Barring such a thing happen- ing again, will see you all next week. Stay healthy. I Towards the latter part of the evening. the Pipe Band dedicat- ed a number to Branch 375. Of course it was “The Road to the Isles". Don‘t know about other members but your reporter sure got a lump in the throat. On behalf of 375, we say “Thank you” for your dedication. Before another month is up the band will be winging its way over the pond for a five week tour of the old country. Do hear rumors that they may be playing in Newmarket, Eng- land. If Saturday evening was a sample of what they can do â€" then they are off and running; no way they can be beat. FLIGHT DANCE â€"- Lucky were those who attended the “Flight Dance" put on by mem- bers of Branch 426 Pipe Band. Whatever these boys undertake, is Well done. This evening. July 17. was a smash. Several members from Branch 375 were among those attendingh The mystery winner for July 16th was ticket holder No. 208. This chap was so wrapped up in a game of shuffleboard that he nearly missed his number. Be- fore I could get his name he was shooting another game. Do hope I used the right terminol- ogy there. Assessment Act was welcome, in that it contained specific provisions to exempt home im- provements up to $2500 from any increase in assessment. When the 1969 Act was orig- inally debated in the legislature committee, we contended that those who improved properties should not be penalized. De- partmental officials maintained they wouldn‘t be. under the act. Apparently their contentions did not prove well founded. light â€"- so do come ou kelp me solve this riddle with a powerful MLA York Centre Win egard "3 ANTENNA SYSTEMS WINEGARD ANTENNA FOR BIG BARGAINS CONSULT THE LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS GORMLEY 887-5713 Trade in your old anten- na and get 10% discount.
