The picture of life in this Western Socialist paradise has been described by Dr. Hans Lahman, a Swedish psy- chiatrist. commissioned to investi- gate the growing deterioration in the Swedes‘ mental health: “Mother and father awake at 5:30 am in their cramped. barrack-style apartment, drag the children to a foster home and then stagger bleary-eyed to the factory. There for almost nine hours the attempt to fulfill sometimes impossible production norms. At night they slump. exhausted, in the silent underground cars that whisk them home to a dinner of sausage and boiled potatoes. Food prices be- ing the world‘s highest. this is all pltals and is responsible for the world’s largest per capita consump- tion of alcoholic spirits. Full employment and redistribu- tion of income should be the main economic objective of 3 Labor Gor- ernment. It would include fierce taxation of wealth and savings, heavy indirect taxation on “trivial” goods, restriction of advertising and further wholesale nationalization. Mr. Stew- art argues that the program should be based on the levelling of incomes rather than on future growth. and that government expenditure is the best form of redistributing incomes. This indeed is the policy pursued by the Olof Palme Socialist Govern- ment in Sweden, a policy of pure Soc- ialism that has succeeded in sendingr 83:000 people a year to mental hos- pitals and is resnnnsihln {m- the A future British Labor Govern- ment will drastically increase gov- ernment expenditures. liquidate all private wealth and bring about a levelling of incomes. The program has been outlined in a pamphlet pub- lished by the Labor Party and written by Michael Stewart, formerly an economic adviser at the treasury and a senior economic adviser to former Prime Minister Harold Wilson. --."

The charge on sewage is on gallon- age, which emphasizes the need for the st_u(_ly of ground water infiltra- Gore and Storrey in mid-1967 pre- sented similar recommendations for this area, which municipal councils found themselves unable to endorse because of the cost factor. Now the recommendations have been extended to include the airport, the new town and other areas in Pickering Town- ship, Aurora and Newmarket, and the cost is still a discouraging factor. Adequate sewage treatment facili- ties are also of paramount importâ€" ance. But whether or not the Min- ister’s recommendation for a treatâ€" ment plant on Duffin's Creek. to which all sewage from Woodbridge to the proposed new international airport and new 200.000 city of North Pickering will be channelled, is the best solution is a debatable point. Certainly, it is recommended by Gore & Storrey, recognized auth- orities. But other equally reputable engineering consultants have argued that sewage will not travel that far without turning septic, unless some primary treatment (which is not specified in the report.) is given. The Minister’s statement, based on a report by Gore and Storrey. points out that the water table level is constanth dropping in this area and that ground water is not available in sufficient quantities to accommodate expected growth. Unless a supply of Water is made available from Lake Ontario, the problems of water shori- age throughout the southern portion of the Region of York. which have plagued residents for the past few years, will be magnified many times. After reading the report given June 16 by Minister of the Environâ€" ment James Auld, we believe that the municipalities really have no choice. If they are to continue to develop, an adequate supply of water and in- creased sewage disposal facilities are a must. Municipal politicians in this area ovaentral York will be faced within the next few months with making a major decision on the province’s pro- ‘posal to provide Lake Ontario-based water and sewage services. This decision will have a permanent effect on all future development.

What’s more. they don’t understand the society they are creating, nor the one in which they live. A Swedish psychiatrist. who has treated a num- ber of senior government officials. says they collapse when their belief that one person functions exactly like another is shattered by experience. “They become bewildered. pained and even indignant." In short. what the levelling and “redistribution” of income really means is that “Daddy Bureaucrat" knows best. By different levels of taxation he tells the people what they can and cannot have. Life becomes dreary beyond measure. It is a strange attribute of all Socialist societies, be they behind the Iron Curtain or in Scandinavia, that strong drink â€" vodka or schnapps â€"- becomes the only release that makes the computerized. regimented life bearable. Yet the planners. the “human engineers" and the utopia- mongers will not learn. They want Everything is public knowledge. all income tax returns are on public record. all private initiative is sev- erely discouraged. Anybody wanting to own his own home has to fill in no less than 192 forms and, if a permit is granted, permission from the govâ€" ernment is required to paint it a color different from that prescribed for the district. All private schools are being closed down. The society is harsh, and the citi- zens are required to work even harder to pay for the heavily taxed consumer goods and exhorbitantly priced government-owned housing. The heavy taxation provides “levâ€" elled-up” income for the increasing number of drop-outs. The more drop- outs the harder the rest have to work. they can afford.” These questions will'have to be answered by the local politicians in arriving at their conclusions, and we believe that they can, only agree to the proposals, however expensive they may be. After all, the OWRC must approve all water and sewage construction and can hamstring the municipalities by refusing its consent to wells and upstream disposal plants. It’s an expensive picture! Is there room for any negotiation? Richmond Hill will reach its 67,000 top figure within the next few years with the development of already approved subdivisions and some in- filling. Is the town ‘to stagnate until the year 2,000? The Towns of Markham and Vaughan face similar limitations. The province will contribute only 15% of the total cost of the two projects, the rest will be assessed to the municipalities in the gallonage charge, but the facilities will remain the property of the province for all time. Besides this charge, the mun- icipalities will have to maintain the internal distribution and collection systems and pay off the existing capital costs. Does this report by the Minister of the Environment add further rigidity to the population figures set out in the Toronto-Centred Plan? Minister of the Treasury. Economics and Gov- ernmental Affairs Darcy McKeough has repeatedly stated that these figures are negotiable, but all that has happened since the plan was first unveiled two years ago are minor adjustments in the figures. But these are the population densities on which the plans for trunk sewers and watermains will be based, which would lead one to believe that they will stand unchanged. Another question which is raised by the report is whether the location of the airport determined the location of the new town or was it the other way around? Was this a perfect opportunity for the provincial gov- ernment to implement a recommend- ation of the Toronto-Centred Plan for encouragement of growth to the east of Metro and the establishment of satellite cities? The extension of services to the airport and North Pickering and of sewage disposal to Aurora and New- market, also raises questions. Will the people of this area, in fact, be subsidizing the people of those areas? ing of one extra gallon of water which may be prevented from entering the system.

Wessmger outlmed three al- ternative development pro- posals for the Lake Erie Re‘ gion, on which the province is seeking public opinion.

Time passed and eventually their home on Benson Avenue gave place to an apartment build- ing. At this time the tree, still small enough to be moved. had its final relocation when Sid presented it as a gift to the town. Many now stop to admire the great, tall, beaut- iful blue spruce which has flourished in its present location. and around which the landscaping for the town hall has been planned, over the years. How did the tree come to be planted where it is? Sid Cropley told me: The municipal tree started off as a seedling some years ago, when Sid and his wife resided at Lake Wilcox. (I thought, “What a coincidence” â€"â€" for this was long before regional government enveloped the “Lake” area within the boundaries of the new Town of Richmond Hill in 1971). Sid said it was a fine. strong little spruce tree, and when the Cropleys moved to Benson Avenue m Richmond Hill, they transplanted the small tree there. The other day I was standing on the front steps of the town hall admiring the beautiful blue Colorado spruce â€" which. along with the colorful rose garden, graces the town’s main street â€"-â€" when a voice nearby exclaimed, “Isn’t it a beauty?” Turning to agree, I noticed a tall, jolly senior citizen-type, who identified himself to me as the “former owner” of Richmond Hill’s glorious (Christ- mas Tree) spruce. Sid Cropley is his name. And later, when I visited Sid and his wife Dorothy in their Richmond Hill home, I discovered “happy is his name” â€" due to a serene and attractive wife, and a lifetime lived to help and serve others. _-_._,.--.a Cadet Dale Doige received the attendance prize; Able Cadet Leonard Harron. the executive officers prize: Leading Cadet Jim Prier, the sea- manship prize: Petty Officer 2nd Class C'ardwell. the leading cadet award; and Leading Cadet Michael Knee, the captain's prize.
