Volunteers are still re- quired to spread a further 200 gallons of paint on the walls of the local rehabili- tlalion centre before the Our comrade stated that he has been engaged in his community service project for several weeks now. and has been joined at times by other Legionnaires‘ Tom Gill, Ron Kliessman. Bill Hrynkiw. Color Guard Ser- geant Gordon Ketteridge and 78 year old, George Morrison. also contributed effort in assisting the under‘ privileged. Mr. Watters said that building costs “ere about $320,000 of which 5100.000 had so far been obtained through government grants. The balance will come from local fund-raising projects such as the recent Rose Town Centennial Walkathon. Voluntary labor alsa helps, and this was where talents like those of Comrade Marsh Tonner were being utilized. The building contains fa- cilities for developing poten- tial physical and mental energies in just about every aspect of rehabilitation. One area employs the handicapâ€" ped in packaging toys for the more privileged children at Christmas. Another area helps to train minds through assembly of nuts. bolts and cupboard door handles for the hardware industry. A printing department anda business and commerce training area, with machines donated by IBM, are other facilities. Through the col- lection of cash register tapes, Dominion Stores of Canada has installed a kiln by which the handicapped may gain knowledge and training in ceramics. Comrade Mavrsh, who hap- pens to be a painter and de- corator of some local re- nown. was twenty feet up on a seatfold voluntarily ap- plying his 751h. gallon of white paint to a masonry wall â€" and Mr. Watters said there was still much work to do. He explained that ARC was an abbreviation for adult rehabilitation centre and said there are about 55 lo 60 mentally and physical- ly handicapped young people presently attending the cen- tre. This number would be increased when the building was completed. and as vo- luntary help and financial contributions were found. For some weeks now, the honorable member from Laverock Avenue has been lobbying the Legion cabinet and the general assembly in an effort to have them sup- port a project of his. The ca- binet being busy men, and with all the Legion horses being similarly engaged, a Legion emissary went to in- vestigate our comrade's pro- jcct at the source. The source was located on Edward Street, Richmond Hill, at a building under construction and almost completed, known as, "ARC Industries". There, on a re- cent bright Sunday after- noon Fulton Watters, presi- dent of the York Central Association for the Mentally Retarded. together with our comrade, were found busily engaged in completing the interior. When Comrade Marshall 'l‘onner attends a branch general meeting he always says what he has to say while occupying a seat at the back. For this reason the diminutive Marsh. who mea- sures five foot two inches from the floor up, has sometimes been described as a backbencher with a con- siderable view.

Ontario County. RATEPAYER PETITION The newly formed Georgina ratepayers group is called the Committee for a Democratic. Government. Their delegation conferred Monday of last week with officials of the Department of Treasury, Eco- nomics and Intergovernment- al Affairs and a petition re- questing a provincial inquiry was sent to Treasurer John. White. the minister responsi- hle for municipal affairs. David Few‘ a member of the new ratepayer group, says The ratepayers allege last vear’s deficit was caused by a land deal that failed to yield the township and ex- pected $500,000 profit. the estimate that was too low on the cost of repairing the Sut- ton icc- arena. and the loss of nearly $100,000 in revenue from building permit fees and int levies. Last fall in the second set of municipal elections since the establishment of the new regional government. Geor- gina electors “turfed out" their founding regional mayor Dr, George Burrows and elected the present mayor, Joe Dales. a politician of long standing in the local area. RATEPAYERS WORRIED Ratepayers are worried by last year's municipal deficit of $356,000, this year‘s 31/- mill tax increase and the recent purchase for $437,500 of a former Roman Catholic church order‘s building and land for a township munici- pal centre. IRegional Regime In Mess? Georgina Township was formed three years ago out of the former York County municipalities of Georgina Township and North Gwillim- bury Township. It is one of the nine member local muni- cipalities in the new Regional Municipality of York, which includes Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham. Ratepayers in one of the new municipalities here in York Region, Georgina Town- ship, last week sent a delega- tion to Toronto to ask the government for a provincial inquiry into an alleged finan- cial mess within the local government. the township is in a financial mess. “It's already $400,000 in arrears in its 1973 school payments to the York County Board of Education. And if these were paid and the church property purchased. fhn tnwnchin urnnlr‘ Bonn tn Georgina Ratepayers Ask Provincial Probe The Assessment Commissioner’s List for the Town of Richmond Hill has been received by me in accordance with Section 23 of the Assessment Act as amended, which shows the school support of every inhabitant who is entitled to direct taxes for school support purposes.

The building has 31 rooms, a main dining room, chapel and three kitchens. Maintenance costs are about $60,000 a year, exclusive of heat. Mayor Dales said he would welcome a provincial inquiry and that the township council would be vindicated. He said the church property was a bargain at the price and had to be “snapped up” quickly. He says the township's sum- mer home owners are chron- ically late in paying their taxes and the township is generally late in paying money to the school board 'because it is cheaper to pay the school board penalty than to borrow money to pay up. to meet commitments. This would result in the town- ship‘s having another large deficit this year similar to the one in 1972.” said Few. 155-ACRE PROPERTY Consisting of 155 acres and a 14-year-old Redemptorist Order three-storey retreat and residence. the controver- sial church property being purchased is located on Woodbine Avenue (Don Mills Road) between Keswick and Sutton‘ Geongina Township wants the property to cen- tralize its operations now scattered in offices at Peffer- law, Sutton and Keswick.

While They Last A quote from Erik Erikson summarized the feelings of the group: “Only the mature person â€"â€"he who has achieved an iden- tity, is ready for intimacy, that is the capacity to commit him- self to concrete affiliation and partnership" can succeed as a marriage partner. For a successful marriage it was agreed that it is vital for each partner to remember that they are two different people, that periodic “marriage renew- als" are important to that values can be sorted out. When the groups finally got back together again they showed an intense interest in Mrs. Mc- Carthy‘s summary. The meeting broke up into buzz groups of five or six people who were given five provocative questions and one-half hour to share and discuss.
