Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. the Arth- ritis and Rheumatism Society, Men- tal Health, Association for the Re- tarded, Senior Citizens, Visiting Homemakers and dozens of other essential and worthy services. And every year at this time, the hard working boards of directors and administrators of these services of the Region of York wince as they think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars being syphoned off from York into Metro through payroll de- duction plans that, in many cases, literally force residents of the region to contribute to services they will never benefit from. When we read that “a hard driv- ing campaign to let our employees know the company really cares" has spurred 130 employees of 3 Don Mills firm to more than double their contribution to this year’s United Appeal. we wonder how many of these employees live north of Steeles Avenue. When we note that last year only 31 per cent of the company's staff contributed. that this year the num- ber giving is 75 percent, we wonder if the company and that portion of its employees who live in the Region of York realize that not one penny of those contributions will come to The co-operative leaders have promised Ottawa an eight percent return per year on its investment at a time when two other cardboard plants have recently closed down in the neighboring province of New Brunswick. The St. Anne-Nackawic Pulp and Paper Company has had to mothball its corrugating plant at Nackawic while another producer. Fundy Forest Products Limited at St. George, is now bankrupt. Several factors should be given careful scrutiny by the Canadian taxpayer who is being asked to pour $5.3 million plus a major share of the Canadian - Quebec Forestry Fund into yet another Quebec project. It is difficult to imagine that a project of this magnitude employing an estimated 176 people and creating another 500 indirect jobs could successfully be operated as a Gaspe co-operative. It will take expert leadership by men who are not only familiar with the technical side of such an» enterprise but also compreâ€" hend the financial and marketing aspects to mention only two of the major conditions of any such under- taking. a The decision of Regional Econo- mic Minister Jean Marchand to pour Rover $5.3 million in federal tax dol- lars 'plus another $4.5 million from the joint Canada-Quebec Forestry Program into a new co-operative cardboard mill at Cabano in the Gaspe area of Quebec was based on political considerations and not eco- nomic ones. The Quebec Provincial Government has promised to contri- bute $2.7 million to the project and Belgian interests another $4 million.

Planning for the trip has taken place over the past 18 months. with details arranged by a committee headed by Dave When the local agencies launch a local drive for funds, willing and eager canvassers are soon disheart- ened and disillusioned as they are dismissed with the curt response; “I gave at the office”â€"â€"the office in Metro. Volunteer boards of directors are bone weary from making the annual trek, hat in hand, to municipal and regional councils pleading for money. And yet somehow these services survive and expand, and new services come into being and soon have wait- ing lists of clients applying for and desperately needing assistance. a viable economic operation highly questionable. The Canadian public has no guarantee for the millions of federal tax dollars that have been poured into the project beyond the obviously jaded economic judgement of Mr. Marchand. For the sake of the members and clients of the 78 services that depend largely upon the United Appeal for their very existence we hope that the current campaign in Metro is a roar- ing success. ‘ For years a hard-working com- mittee of the Richmond Hill and Dis- trict Social Planning Council has been attempting to devise ways and means of setting up a united fund toAhelp our own community services. We hope also that the residents of the Region of York will be mind- ful of the local need, that they will open their hearts and their pocket- books to campaigns and fund raising drives to meet these needs. for in the end we all benefit. Like the company in Don Mills let us collectively and individually let the region know that the people really care. York. Mr. Marchand is quoted as saying that from a purely economic point of View he wouldn't invest “one red cent in the Gaspe project". but from the “social aspects" he considered it qualified for federal assistance. “It required a little bending of the rules" but Mr. Marchand said he considered it a “special case". Canadians expect 0 t t a w a to encourage industrial development and also help industry to be competitive in world markets. But the Gaspe deal, coming as it did just five weeks before the federal voting, smacks of blatant electioneer- ing by The Three Wise Men of Quebec (Trudeau Pelletier, Mar- chand). The lack of expert manageâ€" ment and soft market conditions makeuthe Gaspe plant’s future as In assessing the Gaspe project's eligibility for federal assistance, Mr. Marchand stated that Ottawa would have to assess its potential impact on the present market for cardboard both ‘here at home and overseas. There is no question that the new plant is going to aggravate the pres- ent oversupply position. In the world markets Quebec will likely lose France as a potential customer as it has added to its productive capacity and is not exporting at very low prices. The Gaspe plant will affect existing Canadian plants at Matane and East Angus in Quebec and Trenâ€" ton and Sturgeon Falls in Ontario. The report was handed down at a meeting of the board Sep- tember 25. Two years in the making, it was prepared by Harvey O‘Neill of Sutton, 3 superintendent with Ontario Hydro. and by Peter Sale. Rich- mond Hill, an employee of Phil- ips Electronics Industries Limâ€" ited. "There should be an active campaign with girl students to make them recognize the equal opportunities which are being created for them," the report stated. The report also stressed the need for schools to be flexible. so they could be converted to general shops if necessary. Technical instructors. too. should be given every oppor- tunity to remain abreast of new developments in technology. level Other recommendations in} the report included: a method: be developed for informing teachers about equipment availâ€" able to them from other schoolszi assurance should be made that: repairs to complex equipment; be made by qualified persons; guidelines should be developed; covering the expected life of! equipment and disposal of out-l dated items: the purchase of bulk electronics supplies by in-V dividual teachers, should be. facilitated. l Aran was the country and Tehran the city where, after three hours of haggling (everyone is expected to do this before buying anything), John bought an oriental rug . . . for cash plus a small TV. ’ 1 The contrast in Pakistan was very pronounced.

China, via Turkey, John Graham of Channel 10 TV station, visited the beaut- iful Mosque of the Sullanahmet, and site of the Ger- man Fountain in Istanbul . . . “It was almost unreal and covered an area as big as a football field”, John told me as the story of his seven week trip to the far east continued. He also has an excellent collec- tion of colored films to further enhance his glowing description of the places he visited. While in Istanbul John had dinner with Gavin Scott, bureau chief of the mid-East for Time Mag- azine. Scott is a nephew of the late Gordon Mac- laren of Richmond Hill. In Beirut and Lebanon, tacts supplied by Gavin, and was the much talked-about entertained Kissinger with In Beirut and Lebanon, ‘John Graham met con- tacts supplied by Gavin, and one of these in Tehran, was the much talked-about belly-dancer who once entertained Kissinger with her dancing. The surprise was John’s when he found the cost of a ferry-ride on the Bosforise River â€" from Istan- bul to the Black Sea â€" just the equivalent of 25 cents. Here John met school children who had never before seen a Canadian. They gave him a wonderful welcome to their school â€" through the interpretation of the principal, who was the only person he met there who spoke English. “These were great people for washing them- selves", John reminisced smilingly. “When I was introduced to them they immediately poured scented water on my hands. Then they presented me with a lovely bouquet of their native spring flowers.” John drove from Beirut to Baalbeck . . . “the oldest city in the world,” he said, “built by Greek. Roman and Turkish cultures, the buildings often built on top of each other.” A world-renowned music festival is held in Baalbeck each year. Arriving in Bangkok, John found Thailand much cleaner and very quaint and picturesque. He felt this was the prettiest city on his trip. . . . And the early morning water-market â€" with boats ply- ing their wares with fresh fruit, vegetables. meat, fish and even coal. up and down the river â€" “was very interesting and colorful indeed.“ Thailand is graced with countless shrines and most young boys become monks for at least a few months in their youth. he told me. Gavin Scott, John told me, has personally inter- viewed Premier Golda Mieir of Israel and the former president of Turkey. He also did an article on Premier Sadet of Egypt,, among a host of other celebrities in the midâ€"East. Visiting Americans used clothing plus cash for merchandise. One American went as high as “25 shirts and cash” for a purchase! Finally, as recorded in “The Spotlight" last week. John Graham arrived in the city of Canton. and the Chinese Trade Show. This was the longest stop-over on the trip. until his return via San Fran- cisco, where he was joined by his wife, Marylo (pres- ident of the Richmond Hill Curtain Club). At the Canton Trade Show. John met two tobacco farmers from Tillsonburg, Ontario. They affirmed Canada has not been aggressive enough in selling Canadian tobacco to China. So they determ- ined they would sell Canadian tobacco to the Chinese, themselves. And they did. It took a day or two of dickering over the price . . . the Canadian farmers adamant in not lowering In “the Sp oilighft Key To thgcrafts For lady Flave/le Lady Muriel Flavelle founded Kingcrafts 22 years ago with the aim of preserving the crafts of the pioneer women of the area.
