At one time, as a mother of a Sea Cadet myself, I enjoyed the camaradie found in the cadet-parents’ getâ€"togethers i which at that time were only to be found in Toronto on HMCS York. In many ways the Navy League provides a service similar to the Big Brothers . . . for a Cadet receives counselling, if needed, along with fellow- ship and training. And another thing . . . Sea Cadets must wear their hair “above the collar” but the crew cuts ‘ of the past are definitely passe now. However (mothers please note) cadets are expected to clean and care for their own uniforms and equip- ment. It * l: t at Come summertime and the basic training imbibed throughout the rest of the year really pays off in exciting ways for the Cadets. This last summer 17 of the local Sea Cadets enjoyed a two-week training period on Quadra 5 Island, off the coast of British Columbia . they were flown to and from the camp barracks by military aircraft. They took signal training on cutters and enjoyed overnight cruises. Not one Cadet reported “homesick” . . . Best of all it did not cost their parents one dime. Still other Cadets spent two weeks at Corn- wallis, N.S., on a drum and bugle training course with a registered band leader in charge. RCSC “Patriot” hopes-to have its own drum and bugle band for Richmond Hill’s Centennial Year 1973. (Bandsmen are needed.) * =1! * it * “Seventy percent of the “Patriot’s” crew is * from the Town of Richmond Hill. The balance of Cadets come from Thornhill, Aurora, Newmar- ket and Stouffville,” George Radford told me. “We wish we had twice the enrollment.” Then he extended an invitation, through this column, “For any boy or young man to come to St. Mary’s Wrixon Hall on a Monday night at 7 o’clock â€" as a visitor if he so wishes to determine for him- self if he wants to join the Sea Cadets.” Other officers of the “Patriot” I met that evening included Lieutenantls J. Collins - Seaman- ship; W. Thorn - Gunnary; Ron Sculthorp - Sup- plies and Petty Officer John Browning. And I’d just like to thank them all for the traditional “courtesy of the Navy” shown me, a visitor on their “ship”. Doctor Tells Meeting Unwind Without Chemicals ‘ 85-acre ‘ half The concept of tension as a necessary component of human behavior continues to emerge from the messages delivered by panelists and speakers at the Richmond Hill YWCA public talk and discussion series. On November 8 Richmond Hill physician Dr. William Bigelow spoke in the third of six sessions on the topic “Living with your Tensions". Signs of tension, he said, can be physical, emotional, or mental, and they appear in a large proportion of the patients he sees in his prac- tice. Medication in the form of tranquilizers or anti-depres- sants can be a useful first step in helping a person cope with tension. He went on to say, however, that continu- ous use of medication often leads to chemical addiction. In the area of treatment of addiction to alcohol, drugs, medication and other chemicals in Canada, only the Donwood Foundation in Metro has a success rate worth mentioning. Local Taxpayers Share Conservation Authority's Costs York Region will be one, of 13 Metro fringe member municipalities sharing 5% of Metro Conservation Author-, ity‘s $20,000,000 Toronto wa- terfront parks spending pro- gram over the next five years. The authority decid- ed Thursday of last week to spend $4,000,000 on water-‘ front parks development from Etobicoke to Pickering next year. 5 BIG PROJECTS Projects approved include ‘Mimico Creek landfill parks 156410.000); Toronto’s Sunny- side Beach ($228,000); a 30- acre outer harber for Ash- bridge‘s Bay ($265,000); Scar- boro waterfront parks ($1,- ? 030,000); and Pickering parks $434,000). At the meeting it was sug- gested there is hope the au- thority might be able to get a $1,000,000 grant from the federal government yearly in future, following Ottawa's precedent setting election- eve decision to establish an $30,000,000 water- front park on the west side of Yonge Street in the heart of Toronto. PROVINCE PAYS HALF The province now pays the authority’s costs, Metro. Pickering and Ajax pay 45%. Also given preliminary ap- proval was a 15-mile secnic waterfront drive through Pickering and Ajax, starting at Brock Road and skirting the northern boundary of the Petticoat Creek Conser- vation Area. In the Donwood treatment program, said Dr. Bigelow, the dulling use of chemicals to cope with tension is re- placed by attention to nu- trition, physical well being and social activities. He recommended his audi- ence take steps to prevent tension by adopting parts of the Donwood approach for themselves. There definitely are ways, said Dr. Bigelow, that a person can learn to unwind without the use of chemicals. The following week the film, “The task of the listen- er" was shown and followed by a general discussion led by Fred Boden, director of Blue Hills Academy, Aurora. In the film Dr. S. I. Haya- kawa distinguished between the person as “self” and the person's “self-concept”. In Dr. Hayakawa’s view, any at- back or threat directed at a person results in the person trying to maintain his self- concept. One way to do this is for him to become more as the attack intensifies. In order to reduce tension. the task of the listener is to construct remarks that are non-evaluative and nonâ€" threatening. When this is done, the rigid person lets down his defences long : enough to listen. Then, grad- , ually, points of view can be lexpressed without antagon- izing the other person. During the discussion that ‘ followed, Dr. Bunny Lacome, lsenior psychologist at York Central Hospital. moderator for the session, Mr. Boden i and members of the audience ; acted out constructive alter- lnative endings to various problem situations. Wednesday of this week, lDr. Lacome and Mrs. Sirri Lepp, instructor at the Es- thonian Tiidus Girls Gym-‘ nastic Club in Toronto, dis- cussed a variety of approach- es to “Exercise, Rest and Relaxation". The audience was treated to a demonstration of relax- ation and Esthonian gymnasâ€" tics by four Tiidus girls. Their grace and co-ordina- ition showed how tensions can be released through mo- tion. The last session in the ser- i ies next Wednesday will fea- ture a panel of amateurs and experts from around Rich- mond Hill. They will discuss the topic of "Understanding Ourself" with particular at- tention to the relationships between fears and tensions. the advantages of Yoga as. a form of relaxation, and the place of biofeedback in liv-‘ ing with tension. The meetings take place in Don Head Secondary School, Richmond Hill. further information call the Richmond Hill YWCA at 384-4811. and more rigid and inflexible ‘ %' l STREET YONGE RESERVE NOW â€" THE BLACK HAWK INN PHONE 884-9171 AT THE TOP OF RICHMOND HILI. ‘AV-fifismmll Messiaen “Cudney Frozen Orange Juice’s new special price won’t put the squeeze on your budget. 29 Turn to page 1 9.

DEVELOPMENT PAYS THE SEWER BILL. There was no way we could have brought the Metro trunk sewer into Woodbrldge Without some expansron. The sewer was financed by the Ontario Water Resources Commission. It was to be big enough to handle 15,000 people and the taxes lrom these people would be enough to pay for it We got the sewer and we got a healthier. sweet smelling community. Our homes are worth more wrth sewers and they can now be mortgaged tor a bigger percentage ol lhenr value at a lower interest rate than it we STIII had no sewers But we have to pay lor II by expanding to the l5.000 people, as Woodbridge agreed to WE CAN‘T WELSH ON OUR SEWER DEAL. 2.

TIME TO SERVE YOUR VOTE IS RESPECTFULLY SOLIClTED BY FRED ARMSTRONG FRED ARMSTRONG GIVES YOU THE FACTS ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WHAT ABOUT POPULATION DENSITY? The Woodbridge area is not going to end up with a big population. l. The province‘s master plan. "The Toronto-Centred Region" limits the Woodbrldge community to 20.000 people over the next 23 years. 2, Our own Olllcial Plan. shown to the ratepayers at two advertised public meetings, at the woodbridge High School May 215', I970, and in our Council Chambers on February 7th 1972, and voted by Council this year. and approved by the Ontario government allows tor 16,600 persons of which 10,000 will be permitted in Stage I. 3. With a 21-inch sewer, there is no way we are going to get more than 20,000 population in and around Woodbridge. A Alter 1985, the province is to cut us all from the Humber sewer and connect Woodbrldge to a new Central York Interceptor Sewer. The total Woodbridge population allocation on that sewer is to be 20.000 by the year 5. Since a large part of the Humber Valley in Vaughan is owned by the Conservation Authority, our area is going to be low-density in perpetuity. a. Vaughan Council has set the municipal services levy for all developments at $1.950 per unit. perhaps the highe'sl of any municipality in Ontario. This applies to any kind of unit 7 detached. semi-detached. town house or apartments. At this rate, no developer can atlord to erect apartments. WHAT ABOUT HIGHWAY 407? The province has put it south ol Woodbridge and that is where Vaughan Council left it in the Ollicial Plan for the Woodbridge Area. voted on February 7th I972. It the Pickering Airport should go ahead. there will have to be a strong :onnecllon between it and Mallon. Not much chance of anyone putting Highway A07 north ol Woodbridge. HOW MANY NEW PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO THE WOODBRIDGE AREA? We have approved 3 subdivisions walh 1,380 units for a new population of 5,520 people Added to the 3,500 in Woodbrldge and Pine Grove now. this makes 9,020 people They wen‘l all move in during the next 24 months This IS the minimum number we have logo along with to get our sewer payments on anylmng like a sound basis IS DEVELOPMENT GOING TO PUSH TAXES UP IN VAUGHAN?
