The gift of a very gene- rous, anonymous donor, the shrine consists of a large mosaic representation of Christ and His Sacred Heart fastened ‘to the front wall of the south chapel. Immeâ€" diater below the mosaic is a very handsome table altar and footpiece of Levanto marble. The mosaic itself, a blend of traditional and rea- listic styles, was designed by Leandro Velasco of Colum- bia, South America. Mr. Ve- lasco was trained in the stained glass tradition of Rouault and is known to ma- ny for his design for the 1971 Christmas cover of Time Magazine. Pieces of procelain glass and gold, known as Venetian schmalti, were used to work out the mosaic. The background of flames on the wall behind the mosaic was put on with epoxy compound, with gold leaf around the edges. The lighting has been developed to endorse the sence of ap- parition, a reminder of the apparivtions of the Sacred Heart to Saint Margaret Ma- ry Alacocque 300 years ago in Paray, France. In St. Mary Immaculate Roman Catholic Church. Richmond Hill. at 5 pm, 0câ€" ‘tober 20. His Grace, The Most Reverend Philip Po- cock. Archbishop of Toron- to. celebrated a High Mass during which hhe new shrine to the Sacred Heart. was un- veiled and solemnly blessed. While it is true to say that devotion to the Sacred Heart received a renewed impetus as a result of the apparitions to Saint Margaret Mary Ala- cocque, it is equally true to recall that the basis for this devotion goes back to the earliest days of the Church, At the end of the Dedication service and mass, some children from St. Mary Immaculate School gave the Archbishop some folders of their art-work. Here he is thanking them for these gifts. To the left is the Rev. R. M. Robitaille, executive assistant to the Archbishop. The Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Mary Immaculate Church Archbishop Dec/ice tes Shrine TRY COIN LAUNDF St. Paul. in his Epistle to the Romans, once asked: “Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Devotion to the Sacred Heart is. in fact, devotion to Christ’s love for all ‘men of all times. In ‘his homily, af- ter the solemn blessing of the shrine, Archbishop Po- cock reminded those present that “Jesus so loved us rtihat He gave His blood for us, to the last drop." He pointed out. too. that unrequited love is sad, even tragic, and that devotion to the Sacred Heart should inspire us to make a loving return to Christ for the love He has given us. Urging love of our neighbor, he recalled St. John's admonition: “We can- not love God whom we have never seen unless we love our neighbor whom we do see." Members of the parish prepared for the ceremony of dedication by devoting the five preceding evenings to a retreat of prayer, homi- ly, and meditation. These spiritual exercises were pre- pared and directed by Jesuit fathers from Regis College. Willowdale. Music for the occasion was provided by choristers of the St. Michael's C a t h e d r a] Choir, under the direction RICHMOND HILL THORNHILL O AURORA Laundromats Open 7 AM to 11 PM Seven Days a Week LAUNDRIES (Continued from Page 1) DONCASTER AVENUE \ “This area is covered by two deparate bylaws, Bylaw 2237 (Thornhill Zoning By-. law) and Bylaw 2053 (Thorn-l hill Industrial Area).

These uses aren’t expressly permitted by bylaw: “The bylaw permits Shops for the repair and manu- facture of small goods and wares. It doesn't seem pos- sible that an automobile re- pair shop can be included in the category. However, there are a number of auto- mobile repair shops in the area. DON’T CONFORM “The zoning bylaw allows showrooms, offices and re- tail outlets accessory to the industrial use. There are a number of uses that are pri- marily retail uses, and there- fore, don't conform to the letter of the zoning bylaw. RESIDENTIAL EFFECTS "The effects that this in- dustrial area has on the abutting residential pmper- ties can only be assessed once the construction activiâ€" ties on Glencameron have been completed. “These uses Iaren'it crea~ ting a parking problem at the moment, but there are indications of a parking problem deve10ping. Some instances of on-street park- ing can be noticed and the area hasn't been fully de- veloped. Also. parts of some buildings haven't been ren- ted." says the report. “Some regulations should be developed to solve the traffic situation and parking congestion, as well as to li- mit the types of retail com- mercial establishments that can locate in this area. OPEN STORAGE “Without strict control, more service commercial and retail commercial uses will move into the area and a congested parking situ- ation is a certainty. The Tra- velways Bus Transport Ter- minal isn't a permitted use in the bylaw. This case crea- tes a problem because it isn‘t in conformity with the existing development in the area. “In fact, open storage yards for vehicles or manu- factured goods are prohibi- ted by the zoning bylaw. This use may be considered as an open storage area for vehicles," says the report on Markham Town zoning in- fractions. fBoard Says Will Build Not fRent Administration Building The new building will re- place the present 90-year- old former school in Aurora, where the board has its main offices at present, and would consolidate some of its various services, which are spread throughout the region. On a recommendation by Markham Trustee John Mac- Kay chairman of the admi- nistrative centre finance committee. the board also agreed to continue to study methods of financing a boardâ€"owned building. In speaking against a lease-purchase, agreement Mr. MacKay, whose commit- tee has been looking into ways of financing the ven- ture. said that such an ag- reement would mean paying interest and municipal taxes. He said he didn‘t feel the board should be paying tax- payers’ money to profit or- ganizations. “I also don't wish to pro- pose any kind of situation where it would affect cei- lings, or would take away from educational programs," the chairman said. York County Board of Education Monday night ruled out [any possibility of a lease agreement, or lease purchase agreement for its proposed new administrative building.

THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Oct. 25, 1973 Mr. MacKay, in a report of the finance committee, said that under a lease ag- reement, the annual rental fee. based on $6.50 per square foot, would be $273.- 000. This would not include tax escalation. parking. hyd- ro or janitorial services. At present. the board pays $4.50 a square foot for third floor accommodation in Richmond Hill. He said that a rental fee at the same rate would re- tire the capital costs ($1,- 500,000 plus interest) in nine years. The annual rental fee would require an annual tax levy greater than that re- quired to retire the capital debt over a 10-years period, the report stated. It said, too, that part of the annual fee would be a charge against the ordinary expen- diture of the board, thus af- fecting the ceilings for ed- ucationl purposes. it would in building. $273,000 ANNUAL Also, if board owned, the building and site would be tax exempt, finance charges would likely be at a lower rate than that available to a developer, and overhead and profit would not be a recurring expense. A staff note in the report showed that rental expen- diture for administrative fa- cilities in excess of $2 per square foot, or $84,000, would be classified as extra- ordinary expenditure. This has a per pupil effect on or‘ dinary expenditures of $1.64 elementary and $2.62 secon- dary. The board was also ad- vised by the Ministry of Education that a lease-pur- chase agreement ordinarily is only used where there is an income tax advantage or when there is a shortage of working capital, or a lack of borrowing power. “Since none of these cases would appear to apply in the case of your board we see no advantage whatsoever in this method of financing," the minis-try said. Trustee Douglas Allen of Richmond Hill said he thought .the board was wrong in excluding the lease and leaseâ€"purchase agreements, “until we see methods of fi- nancing a boardowned buil- ding.” MINISTRY COMMENTS He said he thought the board should be able to com- pare the number of dollars at stake in both cases. Trustee John McMurray o f W‘hitchurch-Stouffville said he felt the board had been through that argument before. and that it had en- ough to go on now. The rest of the meeting agreed and the finance com- m i t t e e recommendations were passed.
