Westchester officials at White Plains. New York. have completed plans to promote a new and unusual garbage-disposal plan to the county's municipal leaders. Unusual Garbage Disposal Plan Proposed For New York Region The plan. which would in- clude the conversion of solid waste into power and useful byproducts. has attracted widespread attention. Three weeks of meetings will be held to explain how garbage is to be collected and delivered to new shred- ding and transfer stations by the municipalities, then At present the price tag on that solution appears to be astronom- ical and beyond the capacity of existing assessment to pay. The answer, then, is increased assess- ment through development. It is obvious that the pressure for de- velopment of vacant lands in the southern portions of Richmond Hill, already great, will continue to grow, and that infilling will be- come the order of the day as owners of large residential lots find themselves unable to bear the heavy load of municipal taxa- tion. Sianfield's Balanced Budget Election Key Kicking off his Toronto area campaign, Mr. Stanfield made it very clear to 2,500 assembled sup- porters in no uncertain terms that he will bring in a balanced bud- get. No longer would excessive federal spending feed the flames of inflation under a Stanfield gov- ernment. If Richmond Hill is to continue to grow, it needs more sewage treatment capacity and a greater supply of water. It needs both of these even if it is not to grow by even one more house or one more factory or one more commercial development. But additional up- stream sewage disposal plants or extensions to existing plants are at present frowned upon by the Ministry of the Environment and underground sources cannot con- tinue to supply sufficient water. The only solution being of- fered to this town as well as to its neighboring towns of Vaughan and Markham, and at some future time to Aurora and Newmarket, is the big pipes to carry sewage to a treatment plant on Lake Ontario and bring a supply of water from that same body of water. Mr. Stanfield deserves to receive the support of the electorate. This is the kind of government the Can- adian people want to see at the helm of the nation. Therefore, Richmond Hill Coun- cil made a very sensible decision last year, when it froze further development in the Yonge Street Corridor, from Markham Road to Highway 7 until a study of the area could be completed and plan- ning the land use for the next 20 years could be accomplished with the necessary official plan and zoning bylaw passed. According to the consultants hired to do this job. Richmond Hill has a rare opportunity to plan and to avoid the canyon-like atmos- phere of Yonge Street south of Steeles Avenue. Their recom- mendations. presented recently, attempt to do this. At the request Progressive Conservative Party Leader Robert Stanfield hit upon the key to the July 8 federal elec- tion last week when he promised the nation a balanced budget. Such a courageous step toward honest good government has long been awaited by the Canadian voters.

County Executive Officer Alfred Del Bello emphasized that “we will be using cur- rent incinerator or dumping sites for the shredding and transfer stations. or we will accept the town's own choices. We’re not impos- ing anything. Member Canadian Community Newspaper Association and Audit Bureau of Circulations. Second class mail registration number 0190 “The plan is flexible â€" Contrast this with the compar- able figure for 1963, the last year of Progressive Conservative Gov- ernment when John Diefenbaker was Prime Minister. In that year, just about a decade ago, the Con- servative Prime Minister’s estab- lishment spending was only $6,000,000, a quarter of what it is now. Talk about fuel for the fires of inflation! A good example of the folly of unfettered spending under the Trudeau Liberal Regime can be seen right on the doorstep of the party leader. Spending for the prime Minister’s personal estab- lishment now stands at $24,000,- 000 per year: > This kind of rapid growth of federal government spending since Pierre Trudeau was elected in 1968 has been contributing, and will continue to contribute, to in- flation in this country. Mr. Stan- field has pointed this out again and again. We feel the Progress- ive Conservative leader and the new group he has gathered around him, will provide the country with the leadership that is needed â€" where it is needed. Canada far too long has been treated to the spectacle of suc- cessive Liberal Governments end- lessly expanding the army of fed- eral employees and raising the amount of federal spending by leaps and bounds. It is obvious there will be no end to this folly under a Liberal leadership of the existing philosophy. They must be stopped, for they have shown they won’t stop their continual runaway spending of taxpayers’ dollars. of citizens these recommendations have already been modified. Now it is up to council to accept them or to modify them further before including them in the town’s new Official Plan which will cover the whole of the new town. Because in the past a munici- pality has erred in a zoning is no reason it should be stuck for- ever with that mistake. When it is recognized that the error will work a hardship on the maioritv of ratepayers in the vicinity, then the municipality, we believe, is justified in changing the zoning and height limitations. Again, this is a risk a land devel- oper must be prepared to take, although it, too, hurts. Some people will be hurt and the principal sufferer will be the David Dunlap Observatory of the University of Toronto, which is particularly susceptible to light from surrounding development. When it was built a half century ago it was in a peaceful rural set- ting, but in the last quarter of a century the farm fields have blossomed with housing, shopping plazas and industrial buildings and the darkness, so necessary for the big telescope to function, has dissipated rapidly. The observa- tory has nowhere to go where the needed conditions of darkness will last long enough to make it worth- while to spend the millions of dollars necessary for the move. This dilemma of an institution which, along with the church spires along the hilltop, has come to identify Richmond Hill, and whose scientists have brought much honor to the town, must be given full consideration by the town before a final planning decis- ion is reached. Other people who have been amassing land in the area, with the hope of making a profit by developingr it. will also be hurt. But one of the rules of the game of land development is that one takes the chance of winning mun- icipal approval â€" particularly where a rezoning is necessary. we can include or leave out communities according to their wishes â€" but it must' be a ‘management’ plan. where disposal is handled on a regional basis." He said he hoped the county would approve the plan by late summer, with the first shredding and transfer stations under con- struction a year later. The idea, he said, is to re- duce the bulk of garbage as soon as ossible to ease the strain 0‘ the Croton landfill until it is phased out. Their music can be con- sidered as soft or easy list- ening (middle of the road) rock with a range which var- ies from light ballads to semi-heavy rock and roll. In fact their music seems to be a mixture of Badfinger, the Beatles, Bread and the Band. Steelers Wheel, a five-man rock band from England, consists of Joe Egan - voc- als, keyboard; Gerry Raf- ferty - vocals, rhythm guitar; Paul Pilnick - lead guitar; Tony Williams - bass; and Rod Coombes - drums. 10-SONG ALBUM The album produced by John Mills and Geoff Em- erick (the latter having worked on a Beatle album - Abbey Road). contains 10 songs. each different than the other yet some retaining some basic similarities. Late Again, with lead vocals sup- plied by Joe Egan, is a soft rock ballad which sounds similar to Badfinger (Take It All) and even has Beatle harmony (oo-wa-la-la’s) in the background. The next song, Stuck In The Middle With You, was also a successful single for S. W. last year. It's a rocky- funky folk song which‘ em- Dloys the use of both an acoustic and slide guitar '21an with the base instru- ments. Each song performed by Steelers Wheel is written by either Joe Egan or Gerry Rafferty. or both. To date Steelers Wheel has two a1- bums out on the market. The album.

Not only is Ottelyn Addison an expert canoeist, but her naturalist interests are varied. She says anyone can enjoy the out of doors if they are curious about what they hear and see. Because of these interests Mrs. Addison was editor of the Young Naturalists at one time. For the past few years she has been doing Camp Counsellor staff training, interpretive work with students through the Metro Conservation Authority and environ- mental studies with teachers and specialized groups. Most of Mrs. Addison’s time is taken up with these activities, but she feels there 18 always room to learn more. 8'llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllilllllllllillllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllm'1' And when the meeting takes place as it did last week in Theatre Aurora‘s production of The King and I at St. Andrew's College. it can be very pleasant indeed.

Considering the garbage presently being played on AM radio stations, it's a wonder why a good song like this hasn’t been releas- ed. Other than for the lead vocals, everything in this song sounds Beatle-like. The orchestra arrangement, the strong harmonies and the forcefulness behind the lyr- ics make it one of the best soft rock songs to ever come along. Canada has committed it- self to going metric â€"- and the Metric Commission is working on it in Ottawa. Two. we have no choice. The entire world is going metric. Even England, where our system of weights and measures originated, has ad- opted the metric system and, over a period of 12 years. is phasing out the old system of inches, feet and yards. Even with the high-cost price of records today, Steel- ers Wheel - A&M SP4377, is a good buy. If they continue to release this kind of music there's no doubt that Steel- ers Wheel will be around for a long time.

Jean Willinsky was a gracious and lovely Anna. who sang her songs with assurance and on key. who presented the king with an offer he couldn't refuse: That he did in real life was a tribute to the woman. That he did in the play, was a tribute to Jean Willinsky. She was everything the role demanded. Maternal. stern, com- promising, strong, willing, stub- born, compassionate, wise and feminine. in his life, was being exposed to one of its realities: a woman as an equal being. Up to that time, the king had never accepted a man as his equal; how could he possibly accept a woman, especially one from a foreign land in the same breath? GRACIOUS ANNA In a brief business session, Mrs. Pat Harte reported on a meeting with town officials on the Burr House on Carr- ville Road. This house built by Rowland Burr for his bride in 1819 is now owned by the town and it is propos- ed to turn it over to the historical society for preser- vation for the sum of $1. The parks department has cleaned up the grounds removing about five truckloads of debris and will also remove the trash from the interior of the 155 year old home so that members of the society can restore it. A significant portion of the total dollar cost will be in what is called "soft" conver- sion â€" simply expressing measurements of our present products in metric equival- ents â€" on drawings, on lite- rature, on labels. on packagâ€" ing, in books, in records.

ILL-STARRED LOVERS TRUDEAU SQUANDERS OUR TAX DOLLARS Dear Mr. Editor:â€" The Progressive Conserva- tives have struck at the root evil in the Trudeau Govern- ment: the awful squandering of the people's money to sup- port all kinds of erratic sche- mes. in which the majority of the people have no interest. This misplacement of pub- lic funds on unnecessary, costly bilingualism. hobbies, pursuits (bad or good) is totally contrary to responsi- ble government and can have only one result â€"- choas and disaster.

Her father, Mark Robinson, was on the staff from 1907-36 and during this time kept a detailed diary. Some of his articles that had been previously printed in Toronto publica- tions appear here and there throughout the book. There are chapters dealing with Forests, Fish and Wildlife, Logging, Staff, and Canoeing and Camping. The section about artists who sketched in the park includes more information about Tom Thomson, who was a close friend of Mark Rob- inson. In collaboration with Elizabeth HarWood, also of Richmond Hill, Mrs. Addison published “Tom Thomson - The Algonquin Years” in 1969. While many of us have visited and enjoyed the unspoiled beauty of Algonquin Park, very few know a great deal about its past. Ottelyn Addison’s book “Early Days In Algonquin Park” provides the public with a thorough and at the same time entertaining account of the park’s history. Published by McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd., the book contains nearly 150 photographs and 144 pages. It is available both in paperback for $4.95, and hardcover, $9.95. When Ottelyn was asked how she came to write the book, she said it began with a plan to produce an‘album of her father’s old Algonquin historical pictures for each member of the family. It wasn’t long before the project had outgrown the family album stage and she was confronted with the challenge of putting it in book form.
