Police Chief Bruce Craw- ford told the commission police plus 250 volunteer searchers and OPP tracking dogs were unable to find the girl's trail. Now four detec- tives have been assigned full time to the case, but as yet A $1,000 reward for infor- mation about Ingrid Bauer, 141a, of Kleinburg. missing since August 16, was offered Wednesday of last week by the York Region Police Com- mission after a meeting at Newmarket. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs Oscar Bauer. 43 Pennon Road, the girl hasn’t been seen since she asked her father at 10 pm that night for permission to go about five miles to visit a boy friend in the Pine Grove area near Woodbi‘idge in Vaughan Town. Her parents and police think she tried to hitch hike. His Ward 1 (comprising King City and a. number of subdivisions) is his own best example of why the wards should be re-drawn before the coming election or soon after it. Mr. Findlay’s ward is the largest in King with a voting population (at last count) of 2,068 voters. Councillor Donald Findlay has been making a case for the re-drawing of King Township’s ward boundaries for months now with little or no sympa- athetic response from most of his fellow councillors. Compare this number with that of fellow Councillor Murray Sheardown's Ward 3 which boasts the staggering total of 535. His ward is bounded by Concession 10, King-Vaughan Townline, Albion-King Townline, and Highway 9. 0 It did not take family income into consideration when it gave short- term seasonal workers large benefits. Part time workers at Christmas and other short periods of the year may sit at home with no intention of seeking full employment and still col- lect benefits at the expense of the full-time wage earner. A family’s overall income is not considered in assessing a married woman’s claim At a. recent council meeting. Mr. Sheardown was Councillor Findlay’s only vocal backer when he attempted to have council consider readjustinsar its ward boundary lines for the forth- coming election. Council as a whole voted to leave the present system as it is until after the election. General opinion seemed to be to leave it up to the next council to decide. Ironically. Councillor Findlay’s bigâ€" gest booster for a ward realignment is that same Mr. Sheardown. Councillor Sheardown observed that “the boundaries will have to be altered some time,” and noted that “one vote in my ward is worth five. in Councillor Findlay's. It's just not fair the way it is." He's right. The same situation prevails down the rest of the ward-lines in King. Ward 2 Councillor Roy Wilson C It forced a new. huge group (some 1,160,000 Canadians) to start paying premiums. This previously untapped source is not likely to be- come unemployed so it will never recover any benefits. The new Unemployment Insuram‘e Act is a prime example of the foggy. amateurish thinking that has been typical of the Trudeau Administra- tion since it took office four years ago. Taxpayers should remember the following salient points about the Trudeau - Mackasey unemployment legislation. “What's $700 million 2’" Federal Manpower Minister Bryce Mackasey's flippant, offhand remark in reply to questions regarding a $700 million shortage in the Unemployment In- surance Fund is reminiscent of a sim- ilar statement by a Liberal Cabinet Minister of another era -â€" C. D. Howe’s famous retort, “What‘s a million?” during the 1957 pipeline debate in Parliament. . In a petulant mood Mr. Mack- asey when questioned regarding the mounting deficit in the fund, 3 defâ€" icit which has to be borne by the Can- adian taxpayer, retorted, “I just can’t get excited by all this talk of a huge deficit". $1,000 Reward Offered For Lost Kleinburg Girl --u Auuvrv..\.vu- .. “v...” . “uumwnAulAvu .Luuu _ ‘ U L A‘ Subscription Rate $6.00 per year; to United States $7.00; 15:,- single copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Published by Richmond Hill Liberal Publishing Co.

In other business Wednes- day YRP Constable Calvin Mayo was given a police commission commendation. Chief Crawford said Consta< ble Mayo's outstanding work in two recent cases deserved recognition. Constable Mayo on July 21 at Concession 2. East Gwill- imbury. checked a car with the result that a .22 calibre revolver was seized: the two occupants were charged with 16 counts of break, entry and theft: $3,000 worth of stolen property was recovered; and burglaries in M a r k h a m, Gormley and East Gwillim- bury were solved. One of the arrested men got seven years in jail and the other got two years. after trial in Newmarket Court. A short time after this first gase, Constable Mayo The ward system as it exists in King was brought into being by the former council with the advent of regional government in 1970 and by and large would seem to be the most practical setup in today’s system of government. It does have its detrac- tors and some quite vocal but it’s here and it’s likely to stay. Unable to deal effectively with unemployment, the Trudeau Governâ€" ment rushed through Parliament this series of sloppy changes in the Un- employment Insurance Act in the hope of alleviating the problems of an increasing number of Canadians unable to gain employment. As in every case of mismanagement the taxpayer is the final loser in this whole sorry mess. The cost of cor- recting the administrative and legis- lative ineptitude of the present Lib- eral Government will have to be borne by the Canadian worker in the form of higher taxes while Mr. Mackasey passes off the $700 million federal deficit as of little consequence Canadians should remember this when they go to the polls October 30. But this doesn’t mean that bound- aries can't and shouldn’t change as the population increases in one area or the other. Mr. Findlay is located in a particularly heavy growth poten- tial area and some form of solid study should be made with a view toward correcting a situation which can only steadily worsen. (Nobleton area) has in the neighbor- hood of 1,726 voters compared to Ben Rough’s 827 in Ward 5. Jack Van Luyk’s 786 in Ward 6 (Holland Marsh), and Leonard Osin’s 1,412 in Ward 4. It’s too bad that council as a whole shunted the possibility of re-drawing the wards aside with such apparently little effort to assess the whys and wherefores of such a move would mean. O The new legislation increased unemployment benefits while reduc- ing elegibility qualifications. The maximum payment is now $100. a week which is considerably higher than \the minimum wage anywhere in Canada. It only takes a little more imagination than Mr. Mackasey obviously has to realize that, human nature being what it is, many people are going to decide it is more profit- able to shun work. There is something wrong with a system that permits maximum payments for not working to exceed minimum wages people can earn through employment. Then of course there is the outright exploit- ation of the plan by many people who are simply milking the public treas- ury for all they can get. Responsible citizens are bitter about being forced to carry these freeloaders who have not the slightest intention of Work- ing. The pattern of population growth in King has been such that the imbalance of the present ward bound- aries must have grown much worse in the past two years. So King‘ is moving into municipal election time with what most cer- tainly is an inadequate ward system. It can expect to suffer for another two years at least from all the dis- locations that grow out of dispro- portionate representation in govern- ment. for benefits. checked another vehicle in King Township with the re- sult that two Schomberg INGRID BAUER Mysteriously Missing 7777777 O ne7 thing that impressed me was Debbie’s answer to my querry, “And now, Debbie, what about the Miss Canada Title. Do you think you might try for that? We need a representative who can win Miss Universe for Canada.” -.,_.-_.- _.___G And, naturally, Debbie's winning speech at the ONE Finals informed all her listeners that, Rich- mond Hill is known as “The Town Of Roses” . . . It’s motto being, “In The Rose We Flourish”. Last Saturday Debbie added a pressed rose, “The very last bloom from the lovely bouquet of roses presented to me by Mayor William Lazenby of Richmond Hill", . . . to her book of memories of her 1972 accomplishments . . . to date. Debbie is a lovely, attractive young girl. She has a very warm, natural and friendly attitude to life. As I sipped coffee and chatted with her mother and Debbie in their attractive living room last Sat- urday morning . . . I marvelled that this young miss could meet with heads of state (she was pre- sented to the Trudeaus) and a host of important personages in the course of serving out her role as Queen . . . yet bounce right back into every day things with just as much enthusiasm as ever. _ Debbie’s answer was an unequivical “No. This is a one-year affair for me. my career will be most important in the long run.” She also contemplates marriage, in a couple of years (and will live in Rich- mond Hill). Debbie is now rated as a CR2 in the tax roll department of the Department of National Revenue, Toronto. And, “I really love my work there." But Debbie's roles of Queen do not end comâ€" pletely with the cessation of the fairs. She will remain Queen. both in Richmond Hill and Toronto for the balance of the year . . . then she will crown the ’73 Queens. As a matter of note . . . Debbie was entertained last week at dinner at the new Black Hawk Motor Inn, Richmond Hill by the local Jaycees . . . who requested she enter “Miss Labbatt’s 50 Grand Prix” Contest . . . Preliminaries of which started this Tuesday (September 12) at the Inn On The Park, Toronto. The winner to be announced and crowned September 22, will ride in the parade prior to the Grand Prix being staged at Mossport. Debbie, who came to Richmond Hill with her parents as a three year old, in 1957, says, “I love everything about Richmond Hill. I would do just about anything to promoteAit.” . . along with 53 county fair entrants from all over Ontario . . . to win the title of Miss Sweet- heart, the Queen of the Canadian National Exhi- bition. Both titles were a first: in the history of ' Richmond Hill Agricul- , V H . tural Society. and the (NE agricultursfl divisâ€" DEBBIE CARTER ion and management, and Purex (manufacturers of Sweetheart Soap). It took a couple of pushes from her friend, Dinah Darlington (of “The Liberal’s front desk), to encourage Debbie to run in both contests. Dinah has been her pal since school days. Both girls are graduates of Bayview Secondary School. Possibly some of Debbie’s poise is derived from her attendance at Bayview . . . for she took an active part in the little theatre group there . . . and Bay- view, as we know. has long been recognized as an excellent medium for the dramatic arts. Debbie Carter, daugh- ter of Mrs. Carolyn Car- ter, Browndale Crescent, Richmond Hill feels her life has bloomed like one of the town’s roses . . . since she won the title of Queen Of The Rich- mond Hill Spring Fair in May of this year. . . Then went on from there youths were brought up short on a planned coin box break; ing tour of King. They were both convicted for breaking into coin boxes. Chief Crawford said Con- 'stable Mayo had shown an example of excellent police work. The police commission also approved a letter the police chief proposed in reply to a complaint from a Rich- mond Hill resident. Mrs. Elizabeth Sandy of 416 Osir- is Drive about parking by- law enforcement. The letter was also ordered sent to Richmond Hill Town Counâ€" cil. ~ Chief Crawford said only eight tickets were issued on that street over 41/2 months and that he didn't agree this was such rigid law enforce- ment as to limit the freedom of a resident.

The mayor praised members of the force highly for their department and good work on several recent occasions, and congratulated them for clearing up a recent bad van- dalism situation in Aurora. Six new members were sworn into the YRP. bring- ing the forces strength up to 206 men. This is 14: short of the full authorized strength. All were new young men except one sworn as a first class constable. Chief Crawford said this man was a former Metro officer who was interested in the challenge of a new young police force.

YORK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION -----â€"‘ In light of the upcoming gen- eral election, I wish to bring to your attention. and the at- tention of your readers, a fact of the utmost importance. In the last provincial election I was informed by the enumera- tors that as a 19 year old. land- ed immigrant and British sub- ject, I was entitled to vote. This however is not true. Dear Mr. Editor After lengthy discussion with} the Federal Immigration De-i partment and the Citizenship Bureau Of Canada. the truth came out. The only people per: mitted to vote in the upcoming election areâ€" ‘ 0 Persons 18 years of age or over and holding Canadian Citizenship. 0 Persons over 21 years of age holding landed immi- grant status AND who vot- ed in the last federal elec- tion. ‘Note however that these people will NOT be eligible to vote in the next election unless they become Canadian citizens. These facts have not. as far as I know, been published in the major newspapers and af- fect a great number of people. Obtaining Canadian citizen- ship is a relatively simple mat- ter. taking not more than a month to receive. If there is interest in the election of a Canadian Government. it he- comes easier and more justi- fiable to complain about it if one is Canadian. Dear Mr. Editor: I have followed the history of our commuter train. the train that, 'never was. for 10 years. Anyone who votes and who is not eligible 'has lodged an invalid vote. if many such peo- ple vote. it will jeopardize the validity of the election. John Addison. our Liberall MP from 1962 to 1968, kept‘ promising the service but noth- ing happened. Our present Liberal MP ‘(John Roberts) has used the area's need for a transit service like a lollipop which he offers the voters from time to time for attenion or votes. but which he never, nev- er gives.

' Then there was silence. Two weeks ago Sinclair Ste- vens. the Federal Conservative Candidate for York Simcoe. discovered that there had been no follow-up to ensure that the train would actually run. That brought a sudden flurry of Lib- eral activity and we learned that. several meetings were held last week on the matter. Now it is hinted that the train will not necessarily run before the federal election. There is a chance that all we will know before the election is whether or not there are definite plans for the com- mencement of the service. I was under the impression that definite plans had already been announced for a commuter rail service. What happened to the Soberman Report? My guess is that the only question in the mind of the Trudeau Government ls how many votes it will be worth to begin the train before. rather than after the election. Why haven’t we in Ontario been eligible long before now for the transit services that the Montreal area have had for sev- eral years now? I. {or one. am completely dissatisfied with the treatment this riding has received from the present federal government.
