A dozen studies have shown that it would be practical, economical and popular. Even Metro Chairman Ab Campbell has submitted a brief to Ottawa outlining a program for com- muter service utilizing existing rail lines, mapping routes from north, east and west. But is Ottawa per- suaded? At this writing yet another tudy is under way. An experimental run organized by GO North supporter John Medcof, a Mount Albert lawyer, showed that not only could it be done â€" it could pay for itself. For eight years residents of the Region of York who work in Metro have been agitating for a commuter service to speed travel to and from work, to relieve congestion on the highways, to reduce road mainten- ance costs and air pollution. So what did we get? G0 buses that must travel the same crowded highways. The province is proud of its GO trains serving commuters along the shores of Lake Ontario, but buses were the province’s answer to petitioners in the Counties of York and Simcoe. When Ottawa announced its $150 million local initiatives program to relieve unemployment and stimulate the economy through the winter months local promoters of commuter rail service thought they saw a glim- mer of light. They applied for a $97,200 grant for a three month trial run. They are fed up with studies. They want action. All the railroad boosters asked for was two trains a day, one from Barrie to Toronto in the morning, one from Toronto to Barrie in the evening. What was Ottawa’s reaction? En- The controversy that is swirling around the head of the federal gov- ernment’s Local Initiatives Program received added fuel on the weekend with the announcement that the Tru- deau Government has given $40,000 in public funds to an admitted Com- munist supporter in Hamilton to pro- duge two Communist plays. Rod Stewart a 24 year old high school dropout will produce two plays by the German Communist Playâ€" wright Bertholt Brecht. Mr. Stew- art who admitted he has “leanings” towards Communism described the plays as “agitational propaganda” for the workers. In Ottawa an aide to Manpower Minister Bryce Mackasey is quoted as saying that the criteria used in We commend the Richmond Hill Hockey Association for its recent decision to start now to plan for the future. The anticipated influx of large numbers of people into the southern area of town, when the BAIF development on 400 acres at Yonge and Carrville Road gets into high gear, will compound existing problems for this group of volun- teers. At present young hockey players in What was the old Town of Rich- mond Hill are accommodated in house leagues and OMHA representative teams playing in the two existing arenas. A few players from the southern section are included in these teams, but more play in Thornhill and Maple leagues. The northern players are active in the Oak Ridges and District Hockey Leagues, run by another group of dedicated volun- teers, and these leagues are also accommodated in the existing two arenas. Before becoming part of Richmond Hill, teams from this area played at Bradford. A The third arena, located at Bond Lake, will be in readiness for the 1972â€"73 season, it is planned, giving half again more ice time to accommo- date all who wish to play hockey.

Success would then have been assured. Or they might have professed to be devil worshippers. Or they might have presented a plea on behalf of homosexuals who find winter driving nerve racking. After all the pundits in Ottawa had no trouble in finding $25,900 for grants to a religious sect described as “satanists”, $14,602 for the Com- munity Homophile Association, and $202,803 for Rochdale-based enter- prises. Our poor misguided railroad boosters just used the wrong approach! Ottawa has come up with the argua ment that commuter service is a matter for the province. How then does it justify the federal govern- ment’s $100 million subsidy for com- muter trains to serve the suburbs of Montreal? In introducing his private member’s bill on GO trains, John Roberts MP York Simcoe should have threatened secession from Canada if the demands of his constituents were not met. That would be sure to enlist the sympathies of the Trudeauman- iacs. We would have trains running every hour on the hour all over the region. ergy, Mines and Resources Minister Donald Macdonald told Medcof the increase in railway operating person- nel would not be sufficient to offset the number of bus drivers put out of work on the GO bus system. Nothing specific. Granted a train of two or three cars can carry more people than a bus, but how many pe0ple are required to operate it? Not just a driver. And it is the taxpayers of Canada, the taxpayers of Ontario, the taxpayers of York and Simcoe who own the CN lines the trains would travel on. Are they not entitled to use them? Might we suggest that Mr. Medcof and his co-chairman Robert Sillcox made their big mistake in giving their addresses as Mount Albert and King respectively. They should have given their addresses as Rochdale The whole question of commuter service north of Metro has been in- differently handled at both federal and provincial levels. Capital outlay would be minimal. The rail lines are here, and so are the stations. The people are here and they are sick of being asked to buy the kind of pack- age that is being peddled on Parlia- ment Hill. When the ballots are counted on the next federal election day, a few people may be in for a rude awakening. deciding the eligibilty of projects for federal assistance is “will it be soc- ially useful”. Using the Trudeau Government’s own yardstick, can we safely draw the conclusion that it is socially useful to spend the hard earned tax dollars of the Canadian people to promote Communism, an alien philosophy which is completely foreign to the vast majority of our people. No government has the right to use the tax monies of our citizens to openly promote the cause of Com- munism whose avowed world wide aim is the destruction of our society and all that we hold dear. Surely LIP officials could find more worthy can- didates for government assistance than this. pality, or separate organizations for various areas â€" or it may decide that the best solution is to absorb new players, as they come, into the existing organizations. At any event the association is aware that the number of boys and perhaps girls wishing to play hockey may well double Within a few years, and is determined'that a definite plan will be in existence to handle the influx. This is good thinking and good planning. Nor does this group of unpaid workers believe that it has all the answers to present and future prob- lems. Its members are willing to listen to suggestions from any source ments. All suggestions will be thoroughly discussed and all facets of their impact on the community, present and future, Will be taken into consid- eration, thoroughly investigated and discussed. In this way the growing pains will be kept to a minimum and no young lad (or girl) will be dis- appointed because there is “no room in the inn”.

He found it a sure form of relaxation! The fact that eventually his work became renowned too, if more or less incidental. He knew that in dabbling with paints and brushes and canvasses â€"â€" and creating a personal form of Art â€" he was freeing himself from the tensions and strains which accompanied his great role in history. W __ On Thornridge Drive in Thornhill, there are small groups of painters: professional people, housewives and office workers, who have, or are, learning that one may paint themselves into serenity and relax with a sheet of paper or canvas; pastel crayons or charcoals; water colours or oils and various sizes and types of brushes â€"- while more or less interpreting beauty as they see and feel it. They meet together once a week. The studio itself is cathedral style and_was built Just three years ’ JOAN fiMMINS ago. Because Joan feels painting on a personal level in a private studio is more conducive to relaxed interpretation, than work- ing in larger, groups in a school atmosphere.“ The cathedral-style roof of the studio has stained, wooden beams and cathedral windows at the north and south of the long room bringing in plenty of daylight which reflects from the bone white walls and lights up the brick-red tiling of the floor. For her evening class, flourescent lighting is in use with a spotlight on the model being used for still life painting. ' We chatted with one of the new members, who had previously dabbled in this form of art on her own. She said it is a whole new form of “living” to join the group and splash away! The beginners â€"â€" painting in water colours â€"â€" are taught to lightly draw that which they will paint. Next they paint “loose”, doing the highlights of their picture in water colors, leaving lots of white highlights. (In oil paint- ing highlights are added too). The next step is to wet certain parts of the paper with water and accent certain areas lightly, this time with pen and ink. One form of “finishing”, which gives a charming effect is an all-over “blurring” wash (or working with wet paper) which they will learn eventually:_ Joan Timmins, a grad- uate of the Ontario Col- lege of Art, is teacher and co-ordinator of these groups of ten. Begin- ners meet Tuesday even- ings, advanced artists meet Wednesday after- noons. John started painting and drawing at the age of nine years and has never stepped. Her show in Thornhill Library J an- uary 1971 proved so pop- ular that another one is planned for this year. It will run from May 4 un- til Saturday, June 3. The artists themselves group around the focal point of the model stand, seated comfortably on folding chairs as they work. Casual dress is the theme of today’s artist. Smocks becomeaprons for catching splashes or swipes of paint as the artists clean their brushes of color. Finally the beginners are encouraged to really loosen up! Taking fresh paper and larger brushes they whirl colors of their own choice all over the drawing paper to get a “flowing feeling of move- ment.” This is one of the most abandoned, joyous moments of the lesson to would-be artists; who feel all tension slips away as they brush colour into their lives. Students bring their own supplies, following instruction from John Timmins on what they will require.

In The Spotlight During the decade of the 1960’s more than half 3 mil- lion jobs were lost to im-. ports, many in industries where parent firms invested abroad and then imported to supply the domestic market.

At present, our tax laws make an overseas investment more attractive than one in Indiana.

DEVELOPER MILANI AND HIS CONTRIBUTION Dear Mr. Editor: Mr. Trudeau speaks, eloquently, of preserving ethnic cultures and Canadian identity. He is pre- pared to give financial aid for this purpose. But, behind the scene, his government is diligently and surreptitiously irradicating symbols of British~Can- adian culture which historically give Canada its sep- arate identity from that of the United States. Canada was founded by people determined to retain a British system of government. If this is destroyed our identity is no different than that of citizens of the United States since it also began as a British colony. Dear The RCMP appears to be the latest casualty of Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal Government. This gov- ernm_e_nt f_ollo_ws a course of incomprehensible chaos. “Police” is a nondescript, uninspiring title with which to replace the colorful, world-famous RCMP of which most Canadians are justly proud. It is reasonable to assume that this is another concession to Quebec’s ego along with other eliminations such as the Royal Mail, colorful British~Canadian regi- ments, the Queen’s picture on some of our money, various name changes on federal buildings, the ban on Canadian acceptance of the Victoria Cross, etc., etc. Mr. Trudeau’s “phony-baloney” denial that it is his government’s intent to erase traditional Brit- ish cultural symbols is not believable when viewed as one event 1n a series of Similar actions. National identity is built from the total history of a country. The contributions of new immigrants should be added to the foundation which is already established. European nations do not try to obliter- ate the impact the Romans had on their countries. No one considers banning Roman numerals. Britain does not worry about stamping out any customs which are relics of the Norman Invasion. Erasing contact with historical origins is a. Com- munist habit Which it is hoped makes the people completely dependent on the government in power since they remember no other type of government. MRS.

Mr. Editor, this is not the en- tire story. Our plan for the development of our land is scheduled over the next two years while Mr. Beaton’s plan is scheduled for development over a 15 year period. If there is any profit made by either company, the federal govern- ment will receive our contribu- tion of income tax at least 12 years prior to that of Mr. Bea- ton and this money will in turn go into circulation. creating new job opportunities. The walking taxpayers should organize against the snow-remov- al attitude of Richmond Hill Town Council and its street cleaning department. One must also consider that Mr. Beaton is producing his land for high class residential development. Who is he satis- fying in our society with this type of home. The poor little man? The middle income man? The better than average income person? No! He is supplying that 3% of the population which does not actually need shelter but simply wants a bet- ter type of home. Bearing the foregoing thoughts in mind, we say to you. in jest of course, maybe it is time for someone to investi- gate and see who is the “saint” and who is the "sinner" in our community.

In many cases whole indus- tries have been virtually wiped out. Quality cameras, portable radios, electronic caICulators and many other items are no longer produced in this country at all. Other industries have been so badly hit that investment capital is hard to come by. The prospects of further imports and general uncer- tainty combine to retard investment in new plants and equipment. which fur- ther undermines our com- petitive positlon. The Foreign Trade and In- vestment brings some stab¢ ility to this anarchic situa- tion. Taking 1965-69 as a base period, the average amount of imports for each good will be computed and compared to the average level of domestic production. The relationship of im- ports to domestic production over this period will deter- mine the percentage share of imports in future yeam. Rather than set a fixed num- erical quota, the bill contem- plates the growth of imports in concert with domestic production. Nor does the bill forbid any deviation from this formula.

In a few cases merchants have cleaned the sidewalks in front of their bus- inesses. but in many the snow has been building up, layer on frozen layer. Instances in point: the front sidewalk at the high school on Wright Street, the entrance to the library on Wright Street. It is almost impossible to mount the banks of snow on the east side of Yonge Street at Dufferin Street where the new traffic light was installed last week.
