The North York member urged the House to back up Minister of State For Urban Affairs Robert Andras in his efforts to get Rochdale clean- ed up as quickly as possible under the law, and to back up the efforts of the receiv- er in his efforts to empty the building. BADLY DAMAGED The building has been badly damaged, Danson de- “This (Rochdale) was an experiment that failed," said Danson. "It resulted in a cesspool. a morass of drugs and slothfulness which none of us can accept and which we want to see cleaned up. It is a black mark on the legitimate co-operative hous- ing projects which we all support. and it is a black mark on the legitimate stu- dents who are trying to fur- ther their education in im- aginative ways. It really sets their case back." \lllllillllllllllllllllllll\\lllllllllllllllllllll“llllllllllllllllllllllll“lll Clarkson Company Limi- ted, court-appointed re- ceiver for the debtridden Rochdale College, was told March 29 that it can evict the 408 tenants remaining. A total of about 700 people now occupy the building, about 65 percent of capa- city. When Rochdale College in Metro has been emptied of its present tenants it should be refurbished and converted to housing for senior citizens said Barney Danson MP, York North in a debate on the topic of Rochdale in the House of Commons recently. numumlm1\mmmummmmmummum“nmmmmunw From The Police Blotter Arrest Two Men Armed Robbery, Youth Pistol Whipped York Regional Police ar- rested t-wo men and are seek- ing two others in connection with an armed robbery last week in Richmond Hill, in which one man was also pis- tol whipped. The robbery took place March 29 at the apartment of Bryan Davis, 41 Hunt Avenue, wehn three men en- tered and demanded money of the two occupants. John Cosgrove. 16, of RR 3, King City, and Patrick Fitzsimons, Essex Avenue, Richmond Hill. One of .the men was carrying a .45 automatic pis- tol. Police said Fitzsimons gave the men $1.50, but Cosgrove refused to empty his pockets and instead grabbed for the The gun went off just over his head and Oosgrove was then beaten with the pistol and also punched. The men took his wallet. but it didn't contain any money. Arrested on a charge of robbery with violence was Donald Perry, 22, of 451 Elmwood Avenue. Warrants are also out for two other men. Police later confronted an- other man at the apartment, while questioning witnesses, who was picked up for hav- ing an offensive weapon â€" a shotgun â€" in his posses- sion. Turn Over Rochdale To Senior Citizens Charged was Glen Davis. of 41 Hunt Avenue. Police also arrested two other men in connection with a break-in and robbery at C. H. Atkinson and Com- pany. 147 Centre Street East, March 23. in which almost $2,000 worth of equipment and tools were taken. Facing charges of breaking, entering and theft, and pos- session of stolen goods, are Eric Staples, 18. of r265 De- maine Crescent, and Wayne Carlisle, 20. The property was later recovered in a bush on 19th Avenue. A House of Concord resi- dent has been charged fol- lowing a break-in at Scholas- tic Text Book Services, 123 Newkirk Road, between March 29 and 31. Police said four boxes of books were taken and then scattered over the rear park- ing lot. Damage amounted to $300. Charged with breaking, en- tering and theft was Ronald Dowel, 20. In Aurora, Dr. G. W. Wil- liams Secondary School was ripped off, as well as apart by vandals, March 31. 20 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hil‘ Danson Proposal In Parliament Mike Randall, vice-presi- dent of the college, called the judge's decision a “gross miscarriage of jus- tice." He said, “We’re going to appeal as a corpo- ration, and if we lose the tenants are going to appeal individually.” The college owes $6.8 million in mortgage and interest, and the receiver has spent $480 solely for security and management in the 18 storey building while receiving only $488,- 000. in rent revenues, the court was told. Judge Neil Fraser gave the receivers permission to issue eviction orders, giv- ing 30 days notice to the tenants. All but four are renting by the month. After breaking into the THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, We Danson described the downtown senior citizens' apartment building as “al- most like a private hotel for senior citizens at nominal rents". The residents are close to shops and all facil- ities and to their friends. They are able to live in dig- nity. Such an atmosphere, he said. gives them a new lease on life and allows them to live “as complete human 'be- ings". Rochdale on Bloor Street in the centre city should also be converted to such a use, Danson said. “This would be a constructive use for it. Our experimentation in this area has paid off, I have not heard of any drug or sex scandals in senior citizens‘ homes to date, and I think we should take our chances on that. We are deeply con- cerned, and I know the Min- ister is concerned. I hope we find a technique vw'thin the law to get this place cleaned out. It is a cancer on the whole student movement in Canada and certainly in To- ronto". “I would like to see us carry on another type of ex- periment that has been high- ly successful, namely, the setting up of senior citizens' housing such as has been done in. the central part of Toronto. We have excellent senior citizens’ housing on Yonge Street downtown in the core of the city." (Considerable discontent has been expressed in Toron- to and Metro Councils at the federal govemment’s failure to get tenants out of Roch- dale. Residents have threat- ened violence if an attempt is made to evict them). STUDENT HOUSING “I do not think we should get out of co-operative hous- ing for students when it is run responsibly,“ said Dan- son. (Many Rochdale resi- dents are not students). "We have learned a lesson, and if we experiment again in this area we should not leave our- selves open to the sort of abuse which has taken place in Rochdale College. It is a place that all the people I know in Toronto have con- demned. and I think all the people of Toronto .would support this clean-up and changeover." Earlier in the week, six paintings on loan to the school, were taken from an exhibition there. Next in line was the $5,205 theft from the home of Peter Waxman, 71 Aberfeldy Cres- cent, Thornhill, The loot consisted of a quantity of money. jewelry, luggage. liquor. a silver service and two projectors. clared, but it is well con- structed and can be refur- bished. school, the vandals took a quantity of equipment, and then turned the firehouse loose in the halls, pulled ribbons from typewriters and ransacked the rooms. Unfortunately for them, they were observed leaving the school by a citizen, who called police. Facing charges of breaking and entering and public mischief, are Douglas Schultz, 16, and Gary Knap- ton, 17, both of Johnson Road, Aurora. Biggest robbery of the week took place in a com- pound behind 450 Bowes Road in Concord, where 30,000 feet of lumber, valued at $6,000, was taken. A .police raid on a store in Maple. resulted in the arrest of David Winn, Baythorn Drive, Thorn=hill, and pos- sible charges of being in pos- session of obscene films and possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. The lumber belonged to Rockwood Rentals, Rock- wood, Ontario. The raid was made at the Corner Store, Keele Street, Maple. Georgina Pyatt. 116 Law- renee Avenue, Richmond Hill, reported the theft of the canvas top of her con- vertible car, while it was parked at the Fina Service Station. 267 Yonge Street, March 29.
