Imagine yourself at the Bay Street bus sta- tion. You just get on a bus. After a long trip you find yourself in Ottawa and you really wanted to go to North Bay. There’s no use complaining to the driver because the bus was clearly marked. You re-route yourself on the next bus and get back to Toronto. Then you discover that you could have made connections in Ottawa for North Bay. You’ve spent all that time and money and have got nothing but the trip. Your money is gone. You’re not where you wanted to be yet you can hardly blame the bus company or the driver. All the people on the bus made the choice themselves. Just a few let someone put them on or jumped on without checking where the bus was going. Yet it can be these few who shout so loudly at the driver and make such a fuss that it spoils the trip for everyone else. They may even demand that the bus company change its route so that the Ottawa bus will take them to North Bay. These new plates will be available on the first day of next month from official government License Issuer William Neal (they are al- ready in stock). at 40 Elgin Mills Road East, Richmond Hill They will have three letters and three numer- als in blue on a white background. The name “Ontario” will a p p e a 1- above the letters and num- bers and the slogan “Keep It Beautiful" below. Many high school students come to school as if it were a bus station. They get on the five- year university programme bus and then com- plain bitterly, spoil the trim for their classmates, because they want a practical course today rather than one that’s preparatory for university. They demand that the Department of Education make the bus go where the Junior College bus is going. Of course there are kids on the junior college bus complaining because they’re not headed for uni- versity. Others take the Canadian history bus. They complain because they feel they should be studying Quebec’s present problems rather than doing an essay on the economic implications in Canada of a cross-country railroad. Some take the Instrumental Music bus and then complain because they have to practice so much in order to stay in the school orchestra. Well quit complaining and get off the bus. I am tired of hearing kids complain about irrele- vant courses and difficult subjects. You made the choice. You selected the bus. If you had asked you‘d have been told where the bus was going and how difficult a trip it would be. Now don’t spoil the trip for everyone else by your constant complaining. The modern high school is offering buses for every course imaginable. I wish you well on your next bus but for now just The first issue of multi- year pafienger vehicle lic- ense plates will go on sale December 1. These plates are designed to last five years and a vinyl sticker will be attached to the lower right-hand corner each year to show that the plate is valid.

Years :3_0 Tuesday Night The fir-:9 ital": nf mnlIi- Now all students have two kinds of currency â€" time and talent. They are given them free and probably because they’re free many students spend them carelessly. I suggest that you be- come very selfish with these two commodities. You have a lot of both to spend â€" just don’t let someone else spend them for you. They can only do that if you default. I needed a new car and I knew what I wanted â€"â€" a top line Oldsmobile, power everything, plush interior, the works. I couldn’t afford it. I had to settle for a much less expensive car of another manufacture. It’s not as fancy, not as smooth a ride but much less expensive. Before I made my choice I tried to get as many facts about the alternatives as I could. Most people spending a fair-sized amount of money take their time and decide carefully. I‘m not as excited with my little car as I’d have been with a big Olds but I’m con- tent. Someone once said that time was so import- ant that we should be very concerned if we let it “slip idly away.” I only worry about wasted time when the waster doesn’t know he’s wasting it. I followed a woman in Loblaws the other day as she pushed her cart through the aisles. One of her first purchases must have been white sugar because it was crammed right on the bottom to- wards the front. Whether it had been damaged when she picked it up or had been pierced on the wires of the cart, it now had sprung a leak. A thin trail of sugar fell- just far enough to the side so that the lady wasn’t stepping in it. She was so busy studying her list and trying to find out where they’d hidden the items that she hadn’t noticed it slipping away. She did at the check-out. Only then did she know that her bag was half-empty. The cashier sent a clerk after a full one. If only our bag of time could be so quickly replaced when we’ve lost it. 1h my last article I levelled my sights at dull teachers and confused parents. This week I write_ to all students who are old enough to read. I’m sure the editor has been deluged with inquiries during the absence of my column. Un- fortunately he didn’t relay them to me. Sick as I was, I’d have forced myself to write just to satisfy your demands.

Game time is 8 pm. Managers Association Binkley's goal was into the empty net after North York removed their goalie for a sixth attacker in the dying seconds of the game. Richmond Hill‘s goals were scored by Bob Bangay, Dave Lumley and Greg Binkley. The win moved the second place Rams to within one point of the front-running Vaughan Nationals in their continuing nip and tuck struggle for first. As of writ- ing the Rams have a game in hand. Richmond Hill Rams' Gary Carr picked up his fourth shutout of the season Tues- day night as his teammates \valtzed to a 3-0 shutout over North York Rangers in a Provincial Junior “A” hoc- key game at Richmond Hill Arena.

He is in his fourth term on the Richmond Hill Committee of Adjustment and was instrumental in ob- taining the former Polish Park for the town as a com- munity park at no cost to the town‘s taxpayers. Lazenby said a solution has got to be found to the ques- tion of providing water for Lake Wilcox area and pro- viding sewage disposal for Oak Ridges area as well as Lake Wilcox. “It‘s (a long range job and a problem also for the regional level. Further it's a delicate situa- tion, too. but it"s got to. come," he said. RICHVALE SEWERS "The situation is also the' same in the Richvale area. As soon as sewage treatment capacity is available, priority has to be given to the pres- ent residents who are on septic tanks. “1 think there will be capacity (at the BAIF 1 sewage treatment plant in Langstaff). But that may be the shortest lived plant on record if the (Southern York Region) sewage «pipe ,ma- terializes. The provfncial government has procrastinat-t ed. but is going to have to act. “If we're going to have proper controlled develop- . ment. a water and sewer sys- tem has to be spelled out and financially arranged by the province." said Lazenby. it it t t departments in Ottawa along pays high tribute to the sup- port he gets from his wife, the former Evelyn Huber. a native of Winnipeg Caught‘ in Germany with her family Gerry Crack 7 Ward 4 Candidate Seeking the candidacy for} the Richmond Hill Town‘ Council for Ward 4 in the election December 4 is Gerry Crack, a newcomer to mu-‘ nicip‘al politics but by no means a newcomer to Rich- mond Hill. l Mr. Crack moved to the!

In 1958 he took his present position as parts manager with York Mills Pontiac Buick in To- ronto to allow for proper family and community in- volvement. “I would like to see accept- ance of the domed stadium promoted for the Lanqstaff Jail Farm (property owned by Toronto City at Yonge Strcet Tom Graham, 173 Mill Pond Court, who has lived in Richmond Hill since 1955 is a candidate for the vac- ant Ward 4 seat at the town council table.

As in the recreation field, the big problem is the avail- ability of land at the proper price. or preferably land do- nated like last year‘s site for the arena in Oak Ridges. “I think land is going to be available somehow. some- where. Day care is an im- portant service. especially for widowed and single parents," he said. Mayor Lazenby says he would like to see a day care centre built her in the Rich- mond Hill area during the coming year if the same kind of winter works and provin- cial grants money is avail- able as that obtained for the “\Iewmarket project last year; The present facilities have a long waiting list. “The area of public infor- mation is one thing I’d like to see cleared up a lot. Each year the citizen’s need not only just a brochure on rec- reation (as provided by the Town of Richmond Hill), there should be a yearly bro- chure especially to new households about regional health and welfare services. An example is the new Meals On Wheels program which is now up to the thousands in a month in the northern part of the region and a growing service to the aged and lonely here as well” he said. “People don’t know about 1 would require could also be the region’s health, social and welfare services, There are people who will starve with- out calling on, or finding out about. the welfare services to which they are entitled," says Lazenby, who has been serving as vice-chairman of the region’s health and social services committee and the York Regional Health Unit board. 1 t * “The area of public infor-‘ mation is one thing I’d like used for a commuter service. The railway line goes right through the property and ‘would adapt to commuter trains. "Most of the growth prob- lems lie outside Old Rich- mond Hill. In the old area it’s a question of good main- tenance and seeing nobody is neglected. Our winter road maintenance in the Oak Ridges-Lake Wilcox area is well accepted and has drawn considerable local praise. (Continued From Page 1) the public," says Mayor Laz- enby.
