The Town of Vaughan has this problem for fire-fighting purposes. The Town of Richmond Hill has this problem for residential, commercial and in- dustrial growth to which it is com- mitted and to ensure that the time of water shortage which saw residents in the upper floors of apartment buildings and in the higher areas of the old town with dry taps in the hot summer days of peak demand does not return. And particularly we ask you to remember the riot and destruction at the James Bay Hydro project. There union rivalry resulted in a group of employees going on a senseless rampage in which they set fire to 30,000 gallons of fuel oil, burned three buildings, includ- ing their own bunkhouse, and destroyed three large diesel gener- ators by ramming them with bull- dozers. As a result, not only the men involved, but 900 men were deprived of well-paying‘jobs. Evidence since the riot has re- vealed that violence had been present on the site long before this outburst with one union recruit- ing members from another by the argument of chains and lead pipe. The workers’ terror was so in- grained that many workers who took no part, thought the riot stupid and suffered from it, did not wish to have their names quoted. 7 More recently in Toronto as non- striking postal workers tried to In the legislation which brought the Region of York into being three and a half years ago, the responsibility for provision of a water supply was vested in the regional municipality. We know that representatives of the region have been carrying on negotiations with their counterparts in Metro for many apparently fruitless months. In the meantime the problems in the southern munici- palities continue and as the months roll by grow relentlessly. The solution, in the case of Vaughan, appears very simple â€" connection with the Metro water system acress Steeles Avenue. Solution of Richmond Hill’s prob- lem would be somewhat more expensive since it too would re- quire connection with the Metro system and installation of a four- mile long watermain. The irony of it is, in the case of Richmond Hill at least, that it has a surplus of water in its north- ern (Oak Ridges) system, which theoretically could be piped south to ease the situation. But there are many homes in the Lake Wil- cox area which do not have access Remember the destruction of the computer and the burning of a building at McGill University. Remember the shooting and arson during the police strike in Mon- treal. Remember the riot in front of the American Consulate in To- ronto and the vandalism which fol- lowed. Remember the riot in Gas- town, Vancouver._ Terror walks the streets of many major American cities as the numbers of murders, rapes, assaults and other violent crimes continue to rise significantly. We, Canadians, are prone to smile to ourselves and say, “We’re differ- ent, it can’t happen here.” But are we So different â€" and it has happened _here.. _ That was the theme of President Joe Gaspar‘s mes- sage to a sparse gathering Wednesday night of last week at the fourth annual meeting held at Aurora Com- munity Centre. It was a year of money problems for the Big Broth- ers of York with prospects of more of the same for the future. Mr. Gaspar. who was re- elected for another term. de- scribed how the association's attempt to operate on a full- time basis last year was un- successful. THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, May 1, 1974 “You are no doubt won- dering why it was necessary to revert back to a part-time agency when the need for Big Brothers is so great. OUT OF MONEY To put it bluntly. we ran out of money. It is an un- fortunate fact that it is beâ€" coming more and more dif- ficult to raise money to sup- port causes such as ours no matter how deserving."

Mr. Gaspar noted that some 85,000 of the anticipat- ed revenue would likely come from a Region of York grant with the rest. hope- fully, to be received from other sources that have con- tributed in the past. He estimated that the bud- get for 1974 “will amount to $12,000 with revenue expect- ed to be $9,800. So you see our difficulties." The ag- ency experienced a deficit of $154.28 in 1973. “We have in the past year received generous financial support from the Region of York, Rotary Club of Aur- ora. and the Bayview Sec- N‘dary Student Council. Without this support we could not carry on and our sincere thanks go out to them for this encourage- ment. The agency held a one-night "blitz" in Aurora last May which netted it 07%. It wae organized by The blame for violence and an- archy of course falls on those who perpetrate it but also falls on all of us because we tolerate it. For too long we have been too complac- ent about violence by strikers and students. Too few of those who have resorted to lawlessness have ever had to account for their deeds. And those who have have become folk heroes. We must make it clear that the law is for all â€" that all must observe it and that arson, vandal- ism and physical assault will not be tolerated â€"â€" not even by strik- ers and students or by any “group with a cause". There are legal means available to settle differ- ences. They may take time but no time is gained by resorting to violence. It would also appear that the province is combining provision of a supply of lake water to this area with the proposed Sl50-million sewage disposal scheme, which would see the phasing out of up- stream treatment plants to be re- placed by “a big pipe” to a treat- ment plant on Lake Ontario. The first public hearing on this scheme held in early April was postponed a month to give the municipalities and the public time in which to prepare presentations, since details of the plan had not been made public prior to the hearing. Apparently more and more of our citizens are believing that any means to accomplish an end are permissible â€"â€" legal or not legal, sensible or insane â€" without re- gard to who is hurt or why. They believe they have the right to ter- rorize, destroy and burn, to beat up the helpless to attain their goal. In so doing they become a mind- less mob and refuse to grant to others the tolerance they demand for themselves. to the municipal water supply. Depending on the recommenda- tions of the Wilcox Lake Study now underway, should these homes be hooked up to that system, the surplus would be lessened consid- erably. This is the only way in which we can ensure that this country will not follow the United States into the realm where terror reigns supreme and crimes of violence are an accepted part of life. The price tag on this joint Scheme may well prove to be an impassable barrier for the partici- Dating municipalities. To accept it municipalities could find them- selves forced to open the doors to uncontrolled development so that the cost would not become an in- tolerable burden on present rate- payers. If approved. the extra water supply so desperately needed NOW may be delayed for several years. fulfill their contract obligations by going to work, they were attacked, beaten, thrown to the ground and a discarded bicycle chain was found by the police who came to their protection.

My heartfelt thanks go out to all these people who gave so generously of their time." BEGAN IN 1969 Mr. Gaspar traced the be- ginning of the Big Brothers of York in April of 1969 when it began as a part-time operation under the sponsor- ship of the Aurora Rotary Club. the Aurora Rotary Club Mr. Gaspar observed that “while the growth has sub- sided over the past year. you and I both know how many young boys are father- It culminated in the open- ing of a full-time agency. "Our need to expand to a full-time operation was, we thought, clearly evident as through the period of 1970- 71 we were referred to as ‘Canada's fastest growing Big Brothers Agency'. Inihe Sp oflighft Citizens' Group Wants Election At Large For Region Chairman A newly-formed group of York Regional residents has announced the formation of CARE â€" Citizens Advocat- ing a Regional Election. Development of personality and identity is, to a very great extent, dependent on the physical attributes and abilities to move in space. The able bodied take very much for granted. Most of us can sit between the ages of 6-8 months, stand between 8 and 11 months, and walk between 11 and 13 months. To walk, run orjum , in short, mobility, is freedom which leadsbs fir‘t from the nursery to the living room, from the yard to the street, and the home to the playground. Vehicles such as the bicycle or car later enlarge the cir- CUmference of our experience and living. Thus the handicapped child, whose ability to m0ve is limited, in varying degrees, must learn by slow, frequently painful steps to accomplish what most of us merely accept as a matter of course. Water is the natural element most con- ducive to the relaxation of tight muscles. and water therapy is one of the chief sources of relaxation for the handicapped. Another very popular and worthwhile recreation is, surpris- ingly enough, horseback riding. The freedom to move about by way of a powerful animal provides a great sense of accomplishment and elation. A group of 12 interested citizens make up the CARD executive and there is a Medical Advisory Board which sees that each rider is certified by his or her doctor. The Community Association for Riding for the Disabled. or CARD, consists of a number of volunteers whose services provide approximately sixtyâ€"seven handicapped people from this area with the chance to enjoy weekly riding lessons. Held Monday to Friday from 10 am to 12 noon, at Citation Farms on 18th Avenue in Richmond Hill. the lessons involve groups from Sunnyview, CNlB. Bloorview, Highpoint and the Ontario Crippled Children’s Centre. There are also a number of individuals from private homes.

NEED VOLUNTEERS “This points up the need for all eligible men to allow their name to stand as a candidate on this very re- warding responsibility, to help a boy when he needs it most â€" now." Counsellor Brian Austin said there was an immedi- ate need for more “Big Bro- ther volunteers particularly in the Richmond Hill and Markham areas." He pointed to the large area comprising York Reg- ion stating that “this and the fact that we live in a very mobile society means a need for a continuous stream of new Big Brothers. “We are presently strong in the Newmarket and Aur- ora areas but a recruiting drive is required for the re- mainder of the Region." PUBLICITY VITAL He said that publicity seek election at large of York Regional Council's next chairman. Present chairman is Garfield Wright, who was appointed by Premier Wil- liam Davis. The group has Whoa Boyll through the various media in the region was vital be- cause “we depend on volun- teers and they have to know about us and our activities." One of the achievements of the past year was the forming of a Big Brother Council under the chairman- ship of Jim Glover. The council is responsible for planning special events for the Big and Little Brothers such as camping weekends. miniature golf and barbecue. bowling tournaments, and car rallies. The annual meeting saw the naming of Dave Resdner of Aurora as “Big Brother of the Year” for the Region of York. Other members of the ex- ecutive are Vice-President Ernie B a t s on; Treasurer Peter Nye; and Secretary Elaine Eady. Entertainment for the night was provided by the Richmond Hill Judo Club. Aurora Senior Public School Band. plus a demonstration by the Lake Simcoe Dog Ob- edience School. Mayor Evelyn Buck of Aurora has long advocated that the chairman be named in just such a way, or else that the chairman be chosen from the elected officials and still retain his local office.

Newmarket Mayor Robert Forhan would also like to see the Region appoint a chair- man from its present ranks before the next election in December. CARE says it is urging council to reject that idea.

She said the group also re- jects the contention that an election at large is too ex- pensive. Laws Should Halt Strikes E m e‘r g e n c y legislation should also be introduced to end the strike of airport fire- fighters, should they reject the agreement reached be- tween Ottawa's Treasury Board and the Public Serv- ice Alliance of Canada, their bargaining agent. Again, the problem is par- ity. The PSAC wants equal pay for firefighters across the country. It the firemen accepted that principle, they must accept that at some airports. their pay will be a little lower than that of municipal firemen, and at some airports a little higher. They can't have it both ways. Meanwhile. should they decide to stay out. a back-to-work law should be introduced, and mediation or arbitration tried. Emergency legislation to end the strike by St. Law- rence Seaway pilots ls now overdue. The pilots, who earn $29,000 annually, have been offered $35,000 at the end of a three-year contract. Mediation could then be tried, to reach a final set- tlement. The pilots ask par- ity with West Coast Pilots, who will get $38,000. But St. Lawrence Pilots don’t do much work during three winter months of the year, and parity may not be fair. Among the beneficiaries is the McMichael Gallery which will be getting an operating grant of $465,000. This offer, coupled with the disruption to the coun- try’s economy resulting from the strike, justifies back-to- work legislation. If it’s parity with local firemen they want. they'll have to drop the principle of nationwide equality. ’The McMichael Canadian Collection houses some 900 works of art in its 300 gal- leries in a rambling log and stone complex set in spaci- ous wooded park. (Ottawa Citizen) By DEAN BURTON Bayview Back To Normal? With the return of the teachers to the class- rooms in York County after their coincidental 667 resignations, one might think “Well school is back to normal”. But this wasn’t the case at Bayview Second- ary School; in fact it was just about the opposite. It wasn’t a bad thing. In fact, a lot of the students found it kind of funny. Some of the first words uttered by both teachers and students were: Student: Hi, Sir. How’s it going? Teacher: Did you finish your project? Student: Well, sorta. Or jesting about the six week holiday enjoyed by all students. GLAD TO BE BACK As for the Beatle songs in the period of 1967 to 1970. Liverpool doesn’t come ac- ross nearly as tight. as they do in the songs of the earl- ier period 1962 to 1966. This is mainly because the songs in the latter period are more complicated. But even so. Liverpool is the closest thing to the Beatles, to ever come along in rock music. Many times throughout their per- formance you feel as though you are actually listening to Currently, there is a rock band in Toronto whose act consists entirely of playing old Beatle songs. The band, Liverpool, originated in Van- couver only a year ago and since then they have built up quite a reputation for their talent in copying Bea- tle songs. Like the Beatles, Liver- pool has four members and uses the same instruments (rhythm, bass and lead gui- tars and drums) that the Beatles themselves used in the period of 1962 to 1966. In fact, all the Beatle songs of that period are handled quite well by Liverpool. Their only problem arises when trying to duplicate the vocals of Lennon and Mc- Cartney. Some songs like Twist and Shout, It Won’t Be Long and She Loves You sound fine, but other songs like All My Loving and Get Back come across weak in their reproduction. As a whole there were no regrets about coming back and some even found that they were glad to be back in school with all their friends. But as for homework, well that’s debatable. There were two major activity cancellations because of the walkout. But both were for the benefit of all concerned. The first to go was the play “Brigadoon” that was to be put on by the students, rehearsed since last year’s end for the summer break. The Students Council voted in favor of dropping it and most of the cast and crew, though disap- pointed, felt it would be better. BASKETBALL TOUGH DECISION There were statements made by coaches from other schools in the county that if the season went on they would withdraw their teams from the league. This would be because some of the teams held regular practice, making it un- fair for those that couldn’t. After this happened there was a feeling the teachers involved in these and other school activ- ities in York were “copping” out on their respon- sibility to the students. This in the eyes of some was not true. I personally found this to be wrong after returning to attend Bayview again, after the strike. At one point I too felt they were “ripping us (students) off". But after being at the school for a while one saw just what the teachers had to do at Bayview and across the county to organ- ize the students according to the timeAleft. ‘_ Next was the 1973-74 basketball season. The athletic teachers in York County yoted at a meeting to cancel the remainder of the season. The reason given was that if let go on, it would interfere with regularly scheduled sporting events at this time of the year. Bayview Secondary students plan to buy for the York County Hospital electric thermometers for the five new operating rooms. They will be bought with the excess money from KAP at a cost of 81,500, and will make the operating rooms in York one of the unique ones. The teachers are to be commended for their efforts to give the student body the best they can as far as education goes for this year. Some have even kept extra-curricular activities going, despite the work ahead of the_m. NOSTALGIA NIGHT This year Nostalgia Night will replace the play Brigadoon, and Variety Night will not be held this year. _____ v The, Elsss ipirojects will run, continuously throughout the campaign, with car washes, bingo, and bake sales. Ian Smith, Jeff Snook, and Jo Anne Quelette are the organizers of the class projects. One point made by a teacher at Bayview was in regards to the amount of public light given the grade 133 about how they would make up the year. She said, “While a lot of the students did do the work assigned to them by teachers before the strike, there were those that didn’t do a thing, but came back saying, ‘How are we going to make upithie time lost?’ ”_. ANNUAL KAP CAMPAIGN Back to the lighter side of the school life. Bayview Secondary does once again present its annual appeal to raise money, for KAP campaign. The Korean Adoption Plan’s goal at Bayview to raise $1,500 to support seven orphans in distant lands such as Vietnam and Korea. Money made in excess of the set goal will be donated to seven local charities. There will be a wide variety of events to raise the necessary funds for the KAP appeal, ranging from a telethon to a rummage sale. The list that follows contains the scheduled events with the tentative dates and the organizer of each activity: Walk-a-thon, May 5, Brian Cook; 50-50 Draw, May 11, Kathy Frise, Bill Miller; Telethon, Bonnie Barton, Mary AnneVan Erem, May 11; Car Rally, Brad Elkins, May 12; Bridge and Euchre Night, Mrs. Oakley, Darlene Head, May 12; Table Tennis Tournament, May. 12. Black, Red And White ROCK TALK By PAUL JONES Liverpool Yes it's true! David Bowie, that incredible artist and showperson (What else can you call him? He's neither male nor female), is coming to Toronto on June 18. This will be his first appearance in Canada. For those who don’t know who David Bowie is, he’s the biggest thing to happen in England since the Beatles. You can be guar- anteed that all those pat- rons of the Parkside will be there at the concert (at 0’- Keefe) on June 16. With all the old hits re- vived by new artists on the radio today, it’s strange that Liverpool hasn’t come out with some recordings of old Beatle songs. I can’t think of any other band that really deserves the chance, like Liverpool does, in re-record- ing old Beatle songs. The only voice they couldn't imitate was that of Paul McCartney‘s. This is probably the reason why Liverpool didn’t, and wisely so, sing such songs as Let It Be, Yesterday. Mich- ele. The Long And Winding Road and Hey Jude. But with the great variety of songs presented by Liver- pool. those immortal ones were hardly even missed by the people attending, and certainly enjoying the per- formance. the Beatles
