Mr. Sanders said that rate- payers had petitioned for a 25- mile-per-hour speed limit on Proctor and "when we got it the police gave us good protec- tion for the first six months. Now we never see them." “This is a very serious prob- lem and the police just don‘t seem to be able to do anything about it," he said. “Do we have to wait until some child is killed before we get any action?" Maurice Sanders, a Proctor Avenue‘resident, led off pro- ceedings by complaining about speeding cars on Proctor, heavy truck traffic in violation of a bylaw forbidding same. If York Regional Police Chief Bruce Crawford wasn't previ- ously aware of any traffic prob- lems on Henderson and Proctor Avenues in South Thornhill he certainly is now. Motorists beware. Chief Crawford was under the gun. albeit friendly, October 1 at the South Thornhill Rate- payers‘ Association meeting at Henderson Public School.

Tickets may be secured by phoning Merle George 884-4774, I certainly endorse all the complimentary remarks of “The Liberal's" drama critic who praised the local Curtain Clu'b's "Butterflies Are Free". Apart from being a most professional piece of acting on the part of all four cast members, it was a flawless performance. Credit is also due, of course, to those in the back- ground, Director Gerry Crack. Producer Margot Crack (who is just home from hospital) and Joyce Bragg Smith who assisted in the production. I also commend Set Designer Joan Harold for her work, along with co-workers Shir- ley Stanley, Peggy Gosling, Mary Ellen Barlow and Dick Rayfield, who were responsi- ble for the decor. If you have any sugges- tions please bring them along with some of your findings from along the highways and byways. If you can't â€" just come and bring your children for a morning out. Althea will have some samples for you to work with. Entertainment A very decorative wreath she made was of large pine cones. She suggests members can collect them and bring them along. She had a pic- ture of pressed wild flowers glued on to a paper backing â€"â€"very simple. Try it!

Mr. Sanders made several suggestions including an in- crease in unmarked police cars in the area and ask that con- sideration be given toward turning the two avenues into one-way streets. “I just don’t think the police will be able to control traffic in this area in another year the way it‘s building up," he said. “There are a lot of children, small children, walking these roads and it’s only a matter of time before someone gets killed." Mr. Sanders asserted that “if the police are unable to give us the proper protection council should allow Proctor and Hen- derson Avenues to go back to their original status as dead-end streets." Mr. Sanders also railed about the lack of sidewalks on Proctor (which is not a police responsi- bility). This brought an outburst of applause from the audience. He also blamed the traffic congestion on townhouse resi- dents who park their cars on the street “further aggravating the problem." “cars go down the street as if they were training for Mosport."

"If anything raises the hac- kles on my back is for someone to say we’re not getting the police protection we had a few years ago, He disagreed with one comment regarding the poorer police protection since it was recognized. “Traffic enforcement alone has resulted in a 700 percent increase in traffic violation tic- kets the last two years.” Chief Crawford told the audi- ence that he was “quite appre- ciative of your concern in the area and I realize it's a very serious concern and I sympa- thize with you." He said that Henderson Ave- nue was “getting worse and the probability of additional town- housing will mean even more congested traffic. “When I attempt to complain in one department I get shuf- fled from one place to another.
