4 THE LIBERAL. Richmond, Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, March 27, 1974 'I V j At The Library The Gallery Room at the King Township Public Lib- rary is having two interest- ing art exhibits. On view now until April 3 is a lively varied collection of work by Seneca College, King Cam- pus. visual arts students There are oil paintings, bat- iks, prints and photographs. The show coming to the library from April 5 until April 26 is a large collection “Drawings of Michelangelo. Reproductions, 1475 - 1564" from the Art Gallery of Ontario. The drawings give an in- sight into the artist’s devel- opment. During his early period he used parallel lines and cross-hatchings that give his work a pronounced sculp- tural character. The pas- sionate, strongly controlled technique allowed the fig- ures to escape from paper as they did in marble. The studies for the Sistine Ceiling were done‘ in red and black crayon. The forms of the bodies had become more powerful than in the artist's youth. The reproductions contin- ue through the final period when the master’s forms lost their density and became rarified as he evolved to wards a purely spiritual ex- pression. Parent Effectiveness Training How to be an effective parent. That is the subject of the course starting at the public library, King City, on April 8 at 7:30 pm.

Concerned Citizens of King ZONING â€" Mr. Erichsen- Brown has prepared a legal brief which was presented at the final meeting of the by- laws committee of King. The brief deals with the com- mercial highway zoning (C-2). There are 120 miles of reg- ional roads going through the township and there is a possibility that such zoning could affect the areas on either side of these roads. Although most of the land adjacent to these roads is designated on the maps as Residential Urban (R1) the way the draft is new word- ed at present, there is some concern that by definition, these areas could be used for C2 purposes, which could 773-5892 Merna Ellis.

Mr. and Mrs. Douglas de-. ‘Roit of Kitchener spent thel "commercial strip development". Already, there are many C2 areas lnot des- ignated on the map) dotted result in about the township. Many are so designated because of “prior non-conforming use". There is a concern among CCKT members that land adjacent to such areas might suffer and be subject to a similar commercial de- velopment. The planners have agreed with the brief and will tighten up the word- ing on the bylaw. TRANSPORTATION Bruno Skoggard reported that subsequent to CCKT's brief having been submitted to Highways Minister Gor- don Carton. he and some of his committee had met with Mr. Johnston, chief planner and Mr. Smith, executive chief planner of the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications. Messrs. Johnston and Smith stated that although the proving contributed to- wards 45% of regional road expenses, they had no auth- ority to influence the region to reconsider the Bathurst Street problem, even though no feasibility study had been made on the Bathurst Street development. They reported thatâ€"â€" o A design study for the two-lane road with 120’ road allowance, rather than the conventional 66’ allowance would be made on the portion of Bath- urst Street from King Road to the Aurora Road. A feasibility study would be undertaken for the stretch of Bathurst Street from the Aurora Road to Highway 11. Mr. Skoggard felt that if the design phase of Bathurst Street from the King Road to the Aurora Road was com- pleted and accepted, it would be almost inevitable that the feasibility study on the :portion from Aurora Road to Highway 11 would be in favor of completion of the widening process, inas- much as the Aurora Road is not as direct a link or feeder route as are either King Road or Highway 11. For the most part, resi- dents of Bathurst Street (100 out of 102 surveyed by questionnaire) are holding firm and refusing to sell their land north of the King Road. They feel that ex- propriation will have to be justified by a feasibility study. The Bathurst Street Committee met with regional engineering department on March 19. Mr. Johnston and Mr. Smith did state that in at- tempt to provide for future development where 120’ of road allowance is specified and it is felt that 66' would be adequate, they have re- quested a specification on “rural” or “country” roads. It! If! it!

Travelaugh Everyone's tried or heard of food cooked in wine. bran- dy or beer. But how many have tried wine soaked socks, ties and shirts. That’s what Norman had during a recent trip. Having ended up with a ‘nearly full bottle of Cold Duck in his motel room at check-out time. he decided to put the plastic cork back in the bottle and take it to his Sudbury office to add to their bar supplies. Unfort- unately, he carried it from the motel room to the office in his suitcase. Guess what happened? You’re right! The cork popped out en route and about 10 ounces of bub- bling vino saturated most of his shirts and other cloth- ing. Ain't that a corker! Trip to ROM On March 17, we took a family excursion down to Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum. We were early (the museum opens at 1 pm on Sundays) and the wind was bitter so we walked over the the Colonnade, looked in the windows, and had coffee at a coffee bar. The younger children had hot chocolate, this was fine.

Come, jom the Bond Lake Skating Club in a Magical Mystery Tour at 8 pm this coming Saturday and at 2 ‘ pm Sunday. Marc than 100 skaters will vperform in 15 very colorful line-ups funnelling into two1 cash entrances. After enterâ€" ing we checked our coats and ‘ went directly to the floor which meant we didn‘t meet the ascending crowds until way back down. Our child- ren especially enjoyed the new Dinosaur Exhibition and the Egyptian mummies. Norm and I enjoyed these but also the “Dioramas” which are stuffed animals set in a complete to the last insect native setting, viewed through a large glass win- dow. Unfortunately, when we were through looking and our feet were tired we went to the basement restaurant to eat. Very expensive for little more than saran-wrap- ped cheeseburgers and milk. Over $7 for 6 persons. Next time we’ll head out for Mac- Donalds. Our children en- joyed the mini-shop which had sea-shells ranging in price from SC to 35c. A Funny Thing During our wait for the museum to open we spent some time in the Bloor Street Lobby of the Park Plaza Hotel. The fire alarm had its lever taped over with a notice reading “Not In Ser. vice", “In Case of Fire, Phone Switchboard”. Less than one step away is not a hotel house phone, but a regular coin-operated Bell phone. Notwithstanding the [problem of not having a dime, the pay phone does not have the number of the Park Plaza on it. In case of a fire, you'd have to look up the phone number, find a dime and call the hotel op- erator just to report it. Why not just walk out the door and forget it?
