Even though only two weeks have elapsed since the beginning of school, Langstaff is in the ‘swing of things’. September 6 a Clubs Day was held in the gym where representatives of each club answered enquiries concerning their club. There were many new enrolments and some of our clubs inâ€" clude yearbook, camera, flying, ham radio, drama, ski, judo and scuba diving.

This destruction of almost 13 million eggs has led to censure. In particular Rt. Rev. Bruce McLeod, just re- tired as moderator of the United Church of Canada. condemned it. He said, “Ten thousand children are starv- ing to death every day in the world and Canada is destroying eggs by the mil- lion. One egg will maintain the life of a starving child for one agree." will} eggs were purchased by the agency to bolster the income of the producers: Commenting from their viewpoint, York Regional Agricultural Representative Art Wall says, “We wish things like the egg problem wouldn't happen. The loss of the eggs and the resulting financial problems for the agency are bad enough, but the setback in terms of both producer and consumer opinion to produce controls for marketing, is really more costly. It will have an effect on attitudes to marketing for all farm products, with poultry products at the top of the list. but things like wheat, milk, pork and even beef will feel some of the pain as well."

The important thing. he stresses, is that this kind of response could happen only _--r _ _ _ V V , in poultry products. There are no biological controls on increasing numbers and mechanization also removes labor as a limiting factor. Production incentives aren't nearly as explosive in pigs, dairy products, beef or even crops, because it takes so much longer to gear up pro- duction increases. The agricultural represen- tative points out that if there had not been some program to raise egg prices, we would likely be eating all imported eggs by now and the price we would be paying. if we had to depend on foreign producers, could be staggering. He also says that oneisolated problem, serious as‘ it is, doesn't wreck a very fundamental principle â€" that producers. through their organizations, ought'to have some day in the pricing and selling of their products. That‘s what marketing boards are for, and they all operate under government controls to give consumers all the protection necessary. If collective action is right for every profession, trade group, labor union and man- ufacturer, it's right for food producers as well, is Mr. Wall’s definite conclusion. Markham Town Fights Thornhill OMB Appeal (Continued from Page 1) bear the brunt of maintain- ing an agricultural ward?" he asked. The hearing was told the Thornhill ratepayers appli- cation appears to be the first one oFits kind under relatively recent legislation. Murray said it was "a very very important case for the board to decide". a case guaranteeing the citizen could decide by ballot his council representation while assured it is on the basis of population. -... i. ,J A_ r-r_‘_.r,,,, Murray said the “need to protect the franchise over- rides the rights of special interests" and that the board in Markham was looking at "a perfect example of this 'council acting against the will of the majority." “Council has abdicated its function . . . the road was open to it to apply to the Legislature for another ward seat . . . the board is faced with a proposition of deal- ing with this as it is." a. “There are major issues to be decided in the Town of Markham." said Murray, arguing that in a growing municipality the problems of rural dominance build up. “These decisions are going to be deter-mined by a min- ority (under the existing ward boundaries).” said Murray. “Is one group going to be given power over another?" he asked. FUTURE ELECTIONS The ratepayers’ lawyer also argued that if the board finds it impossible at this time to order a redistribu- tion before the looming De- cember 2 municipal election, then it should now order new ward boundaries for the next regular election in 1976. He said the town clerk is go- ing to be starting to prepare the 1976 poll map by the fall of next year. and shouldn’t force the rate- The day to learn a httle about dlamonds shouldn’t be the day you buy one.

All diamonds, for example, are evaluated on four characteristics. I ,I J:-A_-,‘_.,J weight. But the value of an individual diamond is based on its unique combination of all four characteristics.

TOWN’S REPLY In reply argument, Mark- ham Town lawyer Dick Has- sard. QC, acting on behalf of his associate town solicitor Jim Taylor, MLA. said he couldn’t find a case where ratepayers ever before appealed to the OMB for a rc-division. This had only before he done by munici- palities on behalf of petition- ing ratepayers. He asked the OMB to join Wards 4 and 6 to- gether and split Ward 1 at Bayview Avenue to create a new Ward 6 for the Ger- man Mills - New Leslie Street - Bayview Fairways area. if it wishes to make the minimum of changes before the December 2 election. Hassard cited such pre- vious Chinguacousy and Niagara Region cases which he felt indicated “the ballot box is probably where it should ‘be remedied, not be- fore this tribunal." He also said the board should not impose any reâ€"division that hadn‘t been adequately pre- pared and given wide pre- vious public exposure by the ratepayers, Or more preferable. to more fully follow commu- nity of interest in the new wards, Ward 6 should be split at Kennedy Road (Concession 6), with the west part added to Ward 3 and the east part added to Ward 4. The town lawyer also pointed to King Township where the largest ward had 8,032 people and the small- ‘ v â€" There are Mappms stores 1n major mm across Canada. HILLCREST MALL â€" RICHMOND HILL .‘est only has only somewhat ‘more than 3.000, and to Georgina Township where ‘one ward has 2,446 people land the largest 4,855. He 1also said the board has no power to increase the num- ber of councillors because of the terms of the Region of York Act. Hassard also said Thorn- hill now can get a five- mcmber majority of coun- cil if it votes on a precinct basis only. He said the ratepayer application was premature, that ward boundaries shouldn’t be adjusted at this time and the ratepayers could a1)va again another year. He said next spring would be a little- early for a new application, but that the fall would be about right. But this should only be done after the new council has the first right to deal with the situation. In his reply argument, ratepayer la-wyer Murray, asked the board to levy costs against the town, since the council could have brought the application to the board but instead the adversely affected ratepay- ers had to do it. “They (the council) have got 50 percent of the popu- lation pinned in one little area and are saying ‘we're not doing a thing' . . . fight- ing us all the way . . . abdi- cating responsibility . . . giv- ing the board no assistance whatsoever," he said. FAIR RE-DIVISION Murray added that “neither the provincial nor federal government has come up with any disparity comparable to that in the Town of Markham". He said that under the proposed re- distribution “nobody will suffer . . . the wards are already mixed-bagged, it will simply mixbag them some more. What we have IKE-1"; fear that Thornhill will dominate the other part of Markham." "1-71; charged the town has shirked its duty and abdi- cated its responsibilities. Town lawyer Hassard in final reply asked for dis- missal ,of the ratepayer appeal and said the town wasn’t asking for costs against the ratepaers. But he said the town opposed the awarding of costs on a solicitor-client basis, since this is normally awarded as a penalty when one party is felt to have behaved badly.
