My wife and I had the pleasure of joining 18 young people at a Baha’i fireside gathering at the home of Brian and Margaret East in King City October 22. The guest speaker, Husaxn Banâ€" ani, spoke on the Baha’i Faith. He spoke at the King Township Public Library several weeks ago. The evening began with sev- eral young people reading a1- 0le a prayer while others meditated on the words and meaning. Banani, a new resident of Aurora. was accompanied by his wife Anne and 3-month-old daughter, Sarah. His talk was an informal one aimed at involving listeners in a relaxed conversation.

Book Review At King Township Public Lib- rary you will find “The Compv lete Snowmobiler” by Clarke Wallace, published by Peter Martin Associates Limited, Tor- onto, Ontario, 1971. There are 180 pages .in this guide to snow- mobiling which begins with a preamble by the author. Wallace starts by saying “No other sport has ever caught the public’s imagination like snow- mobiling...and no other sport has been more damned by it." Starting with the early attempts of Joseph-Armand Bombardier and evolving to today’s 10 or so ‘major manufacturers, the book explains the workings of the machine, its capabilities, and the repairs an amateur can do. Fibreglass body repairs, safety, warm clothes, and survival all make for very good reading for anyone who has, or is contem- ‘plating buying a snowmobile. Clarke Wallace is a racing snowmobiler, a skier and skin- diver, and resides in nearby Woodbridge. The book is library reference number 796.95 WAL. “To Be A Dancer” by Gloriaand Peter Varley, published by Peter Martin Associates Limi- ted, Toronto, 1971, with the as-. sistance of the Canada Coun- cil.

Women Roast Mayor Mactaggart Mayor Mactaggart was ap- pearing on a panel discussion with former Councillor Marâ€" garet Bl‘itnell and Mrs. Gerald Woods. The two women panelists ran unsuccesfully for the posi- tions of mayor and councillor in last year’s elections. Both have been openly critical of council's conduct of municipal affairs. The gamut of questions ran from criticism of the township’s decision to hire a‘full time en- gineer, to its handling of muni- cipal business in committee be- hind closed doors. One of the housewives at thel meeting, Mrs. Dora Conover of Kettleby, told “The Liberal’f that one result of the meeting with Mayor Mactaggart was “a ‘realization some of the residents should become more knowledge- able about their council. More of us should attend and see how the meetings are being conduc- ~Mayor Mactaggart replied the engineer would have several duties and the present engineer- ing consultants, Totten, Sims and Hubecki. would still be used Ion an occasional basis. Also firing questions in Mac- taggart’s direction was Mrs. Britnell. She asked why council felt it was necessary to hire a full time engineer since the munici- pality relinquished 38 miles of road under regional government. King Township Mayor Ken Mactaggart was forced to run a gauntlet of critical questions recently when he faced 24 housewives at a “World Around Us” discussion at York Pines United .Church.

Or why it was so difficult for any interested member of the tax- paying public to'get any infor- mation as to what was being done by council.” LIST OF QUESTIONS Mrs. Conover said a list of questions asked at the discus- sion was prepared for Mayor Mactaggart who proceeded to forget to take it with him when ‘he left. “Our chairman had to run af~ er him with the list,” she said. “Our regret," said Mrs. Con- over, “was that we had not in- vited the whole council so as to get the whole picture. A 26-year-old King Town- ship man, Lieut. Mike Davis of Schomberg, received back injuries and was treat- ed for burns when the Canadian Starfighter jet he was in crashed near Gruenstadt, West Germany on October 27. Mr. Davis and a compan- ion ejected themselves from their CF-104 before it plunged to earth about a mile from one of the big highways which abound in West Germany, a Can- adian spokesman said. The two Canadians were taken to a US. military hospital at Landstuhl, West Germany. Mr. Davis was born and brought up in Schomberg where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vince Davis presently reside on Main Street. He attended Schomberg Public School and Aurora High School. Following graduation from school, he joined the air force and was posted to Vancouver where he spent about five years. He has been stationed in Germany for the last year and a half.

LAZENBY IN FAVOR Richmond Hill Mayor Wi1< liam Lazenby felt this was no reason for rejecting the plan completely. In most munici- palities. he said, plans auto- matically go back to the sub‘ divider if there are objec- tions to the design of the plan. Councillor Rowe agreed. The owner, he said, would be willing to arrange the road pattern to conform to standards set by the regional engineers. The comment that the pro- posed development was “un- desirable” brought indignant protest from Mayor Mactag- gart. “We don’t build shacks in King. We build good homes.

DEVELOPMENT POLICY “The policy is to retain land use up to Newmarket in its present form. Only de- velopment that does not re- quire additional services is acceptable," Planning Com- missioner Murray Pound told council. “We must consider the quality of the site rela- tive to others proposed in the same general area." Councillor Rowe protested. "If the region is to make the decisions, what justification is there for municipal plan- ning committees?” The region does not select areas for development, Pound replied. It makes recommenâ€" dations. and the province makes the final decisions. A motion by Rowe second- ed by Mactaggart that the plan be deferred for further study was approved by coun- cil.
