The increased emphasis on jogging by the businessman Masters competition is divided into four categories. Category one is for athletes, 40-44; the second is for 45-49; third is 50-59: fourth is for the hardies over 60. A special category was necessary to accommodate Arthur Dyson of Calgary who competed in the marathon last year. Arthur‘s age is recorded as somewhere over 70. This will be the scene February 16 at the indoor track in Toronto when the over-40 bunch will hold the Ontario Masters Champion- ships to crown the best track and field oldies for 1974, in- doors. Besides the traditional long races the schedule will in- clude 60 metre sprints. 400 metre races, long jump, high jump and shot put.

DATED at Toronto this 30th day of January, 1974. ACTING SECRETARY EXPLANATORY NOTE The .Town of Richmond Hill applied to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval of its Restricted Area by-law 66-71 which af- fects all of the lands in the Town as it was prior to the formation of the Regional Mun- icipality of York. This by-law does not im- pose any height limitation as there is in by- law 1000, the predecessor to by-law 66-71, since Council thought there was sufficient control by reason of the new yard coverage and open space requirements. The Ontario Municipal Board considered the Town’s application for approval at a Public Hearing and determined that, insofar as this aspect of the bylaw, it would be approved if Council amended it to impose specific height limitations no more onerous than those in by-law 1000. The Board has now granted the above appointment for a continuation of the Hearing but, the only matter that will be considered is the question of “heights”.
