The plan presented called for the development of Sus- sex Road to serve Thorn- haven.School and the park- land to the north of it, sel- ling the unopened road al- lowance further to the‘ north along with a small area of greenbelt to abutting indus- trial site owners, and pur- chasing two properties. zoned residential, for open space so there would be a continuous stretch of open space, a mi- nimum of 110 feet wide, from Centre Street East to Crosby Avenue. It was noted that if this plan is carried out, or if the town legally closes the road allowance, the two residential proper- ties would become land- locked. It was reported that the proposal to rezone the Sus- sex road allowance and a small portion of the Shelley road allowance and sell the land to adjoining industrial land owners had come from flhe works department, and had been referred to the planning department for a report. Mayor William Lazenby and councillors felt the town would be under a moral obli- gation to purchase the land atthe market value. They also felt there would be a legal obligation to'« do the same. but couldn’-t answer this definitely. They also were unable to give a defi- nite answer as to why the town engineering staff had made the proposal in the first place. Sunday at 10:30 am there will be a celebration of Holy Communion at St. John’s Anglican. Sunday there was a family service at St. John's. Cathy Nelson and Sandra Black read the lessons and Beth Carson read a collect. Kenny and Steven Rumble and Gary and Carl Boyle took the of- fering. In the middle of the serv- ice Rev. Earl Gerber taught everyone a chorus in English and in Eskimo. Holy Communion at 10 am and Bible Study at 10:40 am will be held next Wednes- day.

Since there is so little open space in town, it seems ridiculous to sell off some of what we have." It was also noted that Mr. Grant's firm had developed Shelley Road to serve its properties at its own expense. REDUCE OPEN SPACE Roger Pike seemed to express the opinion of the ratepayers present when he stated he would be against the sale of the road allow- ance for industrial use. since Regional Councillor Lois Hancey agreed and recalled that before her time on coun- cil, an attempt had. been made to zone a continuous open space strip from Centre to Crosby, but the owners of the two residential areas had objected and since the town was not prepared at that time to purchase them they were exempted. The ratepayers requested that for the February 28 meeting, all residents of the area, not only those whose property backs on to the greenbelt, be notified since it is used by re- sidents of a wide area. Council agreed that this was desirable and prom- ised that it would be done. TOWNBUSES? Bert Grant, one of the principals of Lawrence In- ves-t‘ments, who had indica- ted his company would purchase the section of Sus- sex abutting its property,- told the meeting that con- struction of building on its property is underway. “If I don’t get [the land, it will be okay. I was told the deal would clean up some messes and relieve the town from pressures for a townhouse development on the land zoned residential." She is head of the ACW for York Deanery.

Plans for the near future include a $10,000 extension to the back of the build- ing. The $10,000 was made available by the Town of Richmond Hill. Years ago this was a local community project which fell into municipal hands. The Lions saved it for public use and now operate it for the town at con- siderable cost and effort.

Or hand it to either Bill Macp'herson or Jack Sanders at the same location. Brickbats or bou- quets are also in order. Brian ds a graduate of tune 1968 Legion Midget Hockey Tournament, and went to RMC in 1969 along with Chris Amos of Richmond Hill with an athle'tic,sdholar- ship. The two young men are room-mates at RMC and play for the College “Re-d- men”; Chris is goaltender and Brian 3 defenceman. On January 30, in a game between the Redmien and Queen’s University, Brian moved out to block :a slap- shot when the puck dleflec- ted off his own stick and in- to I "5 eye. He was taken to hospital immediately, but doctors couldn’t save the eye. Brian, whose famher is presently scouting for the Legion Tournament Com- mittee, is in !his fin-all year of an economics and commerce course, and was considering turning to professional hock- ey with the St. Louis Blues of the NHL. In ‘tJhe '68 Legion miid‘get toumey Brilan played for O't- tawa 67‘s Three of his for- mer teamâ€"mates in that tour- ney, Paul S'hea‘rd, Dennis Potv‘in and- Brian McShefâ€" fray, are presently playing with NHL teams. It, is not known ye¢ whve'tlher BIrian will pursue a hockey caneer, but ‘public opinion has it flh'alt the CAHA would be wise 'in making face masks» mandato- ry for all amateur ‘hockey players. While Brian’s «mis- fortunve may have been ac- cidental â€"â€"fihe instance of maiming, wounding and death is just a little (to pne- valent these days. (Photo by Claus Plock) Then the controversial teachers’ issue should be solved by the passage of Bill 275, which is designed to give teachers the right to negotiate Iterms and con- ditions of work and to lay down an orderly five step negotiating procedure mak- ing compulsory arbitration a last resort after six months of bargaining and mediation have fiailed to settle a dis- pute. A new Health Disciplines Act will provide for self- gov-erinrg colleges for all health disciplines such as those now [in operation for doctors and dentists. Each college will 'have a govern- in-g body of people of the profession, but the overall Health Disciplines Board will be composed of lay people. Important green papers have been released for pub- lic comment and these will probably result in legislation at this session. ’ ANI'I'IES 3; V'I'IIB ENCLOSER‘ D O O R S ; Much Legislation Faces New Sessions 0f Legislature BU‘BEE BIG TERM BONANZA IBAIJILLAB I ARBORI'I'E 4'x8' $1 5 .95 Reg. $19.95 ronch & ‘ I a 9,; Reg. $19.95 8 to 10 colors to choose from WHILE THEY LAST $ 2 9 .95Reg- $44.95 Queen 3' Park Report William Bodgson MLA.
