The report advises that “there is an urgent need: for some clear- er regional policy for the wise future development of the many villages and hamlets in Â¥ork.:’ 1, v Alluovu v“... 7. It also points out that high prices for land and demand for housing from centres outside of York “imply considerable and ra- pid growth” of communities in York during the next few years. However, it warns, “many of the smaller settlements in York re- gion are unsuitable for further development." It also warns that local councils might be “tempted” by development schemes that pro- pose supplying water and sewer services without cost to the tax- payer. However, in the long run “the region might be faced with operating and financing a large number of very small municipal sewage treatment and water fac- ilities with high maintenance costs”, and that there will also likely be “expensive road improve- ments to connect expanded set- tlements with the region’s major urban centres.” A recent report to the Region of York Council warns that this area could be faced with serious problems if it bows to pressure for rapid development, and urges a go-slow policy for development in the region’s urban centres for the next two years. The pressure is already on, as any municipal council in York well knows, and the pressure is particularly strong in the south- ern area of Markham, Vaughan Two plans for small subâ€" divisions â€"â€" one for eight lots and one for six â€"â€" were presented to Richmond Hill Council Planning Commit- tee meeting held Septem- ber 18. An object lesson for voters at the coming December local gov- ernment elections has been coming in recent months out of the City of Mississauga in our sister Re- gion 70f Peel to the west._ Electors can only send untried and inexperienced candidates to municipal office at their peril, especially when they are choosing large numbers of new councillors and when the mayoralty seat is included. No doubt the same con- siderations apply to school boards. This is the lesson. The first plan is for eight lots each of three acres or more, located between Muirâ€" head- Crescent and Bond Lake. Access is to be by way of a cul-de-sac off Yonge Street. The proposed de- velopment is permitted by both Official Plan and zon- ing bylaw. ZSmall Subdivisions Planned For Ward 5 In Richmond Hill Bob Hewines, represent- ing A. Parshan Associates, the developers, told the committee the whole pro- perty contains 97 acres, but only the westerly 24 acres will be developed at this time. It will be on septic tanks and wells. Landscape architects and engineers are now being hired. In Mississauga a mayor with little previous experience in muni- cipal affairs, and also a number of new inexperienced councillors, were elected in October. The new candidates chose an instantly popular platform which was essen- tially based on taking the steam out of a high rate of development. Mississauga had perhaps the high- est rate of growth of any munici- pality in the province. The plén has been pre- sented to the Ministry. The unfortunate result has been a wholesale exodus of civic staff who have voted in their own way against the new regime. They have voted with their feet by the score. Lost have been over 30 management level people from the very top down, plus many others from minor posts, for a total of nearly 80 people. Lost have been essential people with hundreds of years of experience. No municipal corporation can sustain such a blow without being badly hurt for years to come. At this time Mississauga also needs experienced civic staff more than ever before, because it 18 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1974 The community newspaper serving Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Oak Ridges, King City, Maple and Concord.

It contains six single family lots on the south side of Maple Grove Avenue in Oak Ridges. While the Official Plan permits this use. an amendment to the bylaw will be required with res- pect to the frontage. The proposed frontages are 73.13 feet and the bylaw calls for '75 feet. “A minor variance." said Mr. Lawlor. He also re- ported the lots have a depth ,of 300 feet. “Could you not have one less lot and conform to the bylaw?" asked Mrs. Hancey. "It would be simpler and far faster to expedite." MATTER OF MONEY “It would probably mean a difference of about 520.000 and Richmond Hill. The “go slow” policy has been followed here, partly by decision of local coun- cils and they have been able to make that decision stick because of the lack of municipal services. However, the coming of the big pipe, which will take the area’s sewerage to a disposal plant on Lake Ontario, and the provision of a supply of water from the same large body of fresh water, will remove that deterrent to rapid growth. The Town of Markham, which is the fastest growing municipal- ity in York, is faced with a pro- posal for a subdivision at Milliken on 1,200 acres. York Regional planners are forecasting a popu- llzgtgign of 94,600 for Markham by By that date, the forecast is that Richmond Hill’s population will reach 51,000. By the year 1991 York Region’s population could be a minimum of 280,000 or a maximum of 550,000 accord- ing to these same planners. These are breathtaking and frighten- ing figures. We agree that all safeguards possible must be written into the official plans of the municipalities and the region to enable the coun- cils and their planning commit- tees to govern the rate of growth and to channel development into the most desirable areas. But above all we recommend that all bodies involved adopt the slogan “Go slow". making the painful transition from town to city status. This is while its county structure is going through the difficult pro- cess of changing to the new re- gional configuration. Here in York after four years we are still far from seeing this process com- pleted. Our towns and townships were fortunate in the past four years during the switch to regional gov- ernment. All the councils kept a good majority of municipal repre- sentatives with previous exper- ience in office. Many of them con- tinued with the same chief magis- trates. The civic staff situation generally has held quite stable. There hasn’t been any blood let- ting anything like that in Missis- sauga, much to the benefit of our residents. It all goes to show, if it was ever necessary, that the job of municipal councillor isn’t an easy one. nor is it to be undertaken lightly. Local government repre- sentatives must realize and res- pect the value and integrity of the civic servant. Councils need to concentrate on strong leadership at the policy level rather than meddling in administration at the paper clip and elastic band level. Voters who fuel a reform movement over a simplistic issue or a few issues without giving due attention to the larger spectrum of considerations are surely in danger of “not seeing the woods for the trees". They could well remember this when they put their ballot in the box December or more, the price of one lot. It's straight economics." replied the solicitor. He also said application was made to the committee of adjust- ment in August. 1972 for severance of the six lots and his clients had been advised that a subdivision agreement would be required.

The guild has worked very hard and the old building is beginning to look less like a jail and more like a pot- ters' studio. The first wheel has been purchased, and hopefully plumbing and light- ing will soon be connected so that they can use it. FOR BEGINNERS Beginning next week, the guild is offering a beginners' workshop with lessons in hand building and an intro- duction to the' wheel at the new studio. Daytime lessons begin Sep- tember 30 at 1 pm and con- tinue to 3:30 pm. Evening lessons will begin October 3 from 8 to 10:30 pm. The cost for members is $20 and for non-members $25.

Funny. when you first sit down it doesn’t feel as if the plane will soon be flying. After I he- came acquainted with my sur- roundings. the plane started to rumble and jerk and we began to taxi down the runway. My heart began to beat faster as the plane gathered speed and I remembered waiting, as we sped along. to feel the wheels lose contact with the hard con- crete beneath them. I didn't feel it. As a matter of fact. I couldn't tell if we were rising T hornhill Exchange Student In Germany Reports Back by looking out of the window, only by watching the tth of the nose.

It wasn't only incredibly loud. but at times even nau- seating. This unfortunately proved to be the downfall of the band's performance at the Inn. Some of the songs Union played, to mention a few, were ‘Rnck The Boat’, 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' .nd ‘Thc Love I Lost‘. ‘Rock' The Boa't’ was done in a funkier style (as compared to the original) and came across as a conglomeration of noise. ‘You Make Me Feel Brand New’ (the Stylistics' land hit song) is unfortunately a weak version of the original, What chance the vocals which in this case are ex- ceotional) had in saving this song are lost when the much too loud instruments drown out the lyrics. In Harold Melvin and Blue Notes song ‘The Love I Lost', Union oisplays some talented lead guitar work. But again the sound system (in this «we. those controlling the vocals) is 'too loud and jumb- led-like to give the song a chance. If Union should ever tone down the volume 0f the in‘ struments and vocals, there's no doubt they could show us the talent they have. but which for the time being, is only faintly heard over the noise. A slightly better act to catch at the Inn is that of A] Matthews who is appear- -ng in the upstairs section. He'll be there another week. Al's folk act has always been an attention - grabber and crowd - pleaser at the Inn.

This is too “civilized” and com- fortable for me â€" not daring enough! Right now I feel as if I am in a car and I have the same "light" sensation that I get when we go over bumps in the road. Anyway I will tell you about our food. After a few hours we received a little bag of peanuts. Then drinks for our dinner arrived. I didn't have any. Supper came in neat containers, placed per- fectly on a compact tray. Typi- cal airline meal, Here is the menu (in the or- der I ate it). Cold beans, slices of tomatoes. bits of lettuce and parsley. Nice breast of chicken with sauce and rice, and some carrots on the side. Two pieces of real rye bread with butter, and gouda cheese. Lots of Ger- man cold meat with cantaloupe wrapped inside, lettuce parsley and lemon. An ordinary roll and butter. Pudding with wal- nuts and plain cake under- neath, and rotten coffee. The. time of this meal was about 8.00 p.111. Then I tried to get some sleep. Beth and I sprawled out or“: the two seats and talked. She had a “how to speak Ger- man in two weeks" booklet so we read that. We were worried about what to say to our fami- lies on meeting them. After that they played a little trick on us. You see, we were to ar- rive in Frankfurt at 7.00 am. their time. They felt obligated to give us breakfast at the right time in German time, which at the time of Fruhstuck (breakfast) was six in the morning. Cana- dian time it was two in the morning. It felt funny eating breakfast in the dark! Well actually it was Deutschland's dusk but because our watches said 2:00 it was nightlight.

Nobleton Senior Citizens Win Battle With Government INobleton senior citizens have apparently won their battle against bureaucratic “red tape" over the propos- ed site of a senior citizen home. King Township Mayor Margaret Britnell told “The Liberal" that the “deal is almost 100 percent assured.” ANGRY DELEGATES It was at a previous meet- ing that an angry delegation of senior citizens confronted two OHC officials led by Spokesman Gilbert Faris. It was announced at King Council Monday night of last week that Ontario Housing Corporation officials had capitulated to the wishes of the citizens and council and were at the point of comple- ting negotiations for another site. He said the five~acre site on Concession 8 was too far from amenities such as shopping centres and is also subject to flooding in the spring on at least two acres of its land area. -Mr_ Faris termed the pro- posed site as “practically useless for such a building.” “It's just unsuitable for a senior citizens apartment," he said “The building would be prohibitive for senior citizens who would have to walk too far to get to any shopping area, or church or whatever.” “fig-ACRE SITE That's when the second piece of land was brought into the discussion which is located on Wilson Street comprising four-and-amalf- acres. An OHC spokesman told council the “undesirable” site was selected because of a number of factors includ- ing a price tag of $45,000 which “is half of what the assessed price of the land is worth."

Incidentally. before break- fast the stewards and steward- esses came around with scald- ing hot face packs which they handled with tongs. They plopped one into my lap and I immediately smelled Vicks Vapa Rub. You see presumably‘ this was for our sinuses as the air had‘ become stuffy and it was nice breathing in the fumes. We prepared to land in Frankfurt. The pilot circled the city for our pleasure. It was so beautiful! The forests are very thick, the city is huge. with many apartments etc.. but is spread out. There would be trees and water, and then another cluster of buildings. It looked like a checkerboard. The airport is gigantic. It took us time to get used to it. Beth and I went to the washroom lder toilette) and I started washing my face and teeth and everybody else followed suit. The cleaning lady came in and spoke in German so Beth and I said a few things to her and then felt elated because she understood us. Mama. you should see the gorgeous men working at the airport! They speak English and German so we were asking direction quite frequently. There are many long hallways here at the airport so they have a flat kind of escalator that has a rubber mat to stand on which takes you to the end of them quite quickly. It’s very modern and beautiful and very expen- sive. Ice cream was 50 cents! We then went through cus- toms. The lady checked my was limited to a certain cost factor “something like $2,500 per unit and we have to consider this . , . This other property is obviously a better site but even if it is available maybe the price would be too prohibitive." It was pointed out at coun- cil that the previous site had already been purchased by OHC and would be held as a “land bank" acquisition and still be under the con- trol of the municipality as to its future usage. The OHC representative agreed to look into the mat- ter with the result that the new senior citizen building will likely be constructed there.

I thought “Oh my God she thinks I’m smuggling some- thing”. Then she {risked me. I didn't like that at all, but, needless to say I didn’t have any concealed weapons. Then we started our 25 minutes flight to Stuttgart after delays. On this one Beth and I sat beside a lady from New Orleans who had spent the first years of her life liv- ing in Stuttgart. She was going back to see how much it had changed. She taught us to say “I am pleased to meet you" in German (Es freught nich). They gave us containers of orange juice. This take off was much more exciting but landing in Stuttgart and Frankfurt was better. Beth said that they Were both bad landings but I enjoyed the bumping. People were gasping as if we were going to crash. It was fun! By this time I was a bit nervous but so was everybody else. Stuttgart is also a beautiful city. They called out our names on arrival and Gudrun came forward. She said she recognized me at once. I saw her but wasn't sure. although now I see how she looks the same as in her pic- ture. We walked over to a man whom she introduced as her father. He doesn’t speak any English. It was funny because when we saw and acknowledged each other. she started speak- ing a torrent of German, and all I could say was "Ich lene Deutsch". They took me to their car. a little Opel and we started to leave. Well. Germans are WILD drivers. I haven't seen anything like it!

I wonder what sort of muddled thinking would result in such a change? Surely, now that Duffel-in and Wright meet, if a change were necessary, it should have been renamed “Wright East". The same thinking is evi- dent in renaming "Marilyn Crescent" in Oak Ridges to avoid confusion with a street about 10 miles to the south. “Merl-Hymn", in Richvale. Surely, if one properly pro- nounced each name. neglect- ing the fact that they have different postal names. it would take someone of ex- tremely minute intelligence to become confused.

The trees. water, ani- mals, etc. But the roads are cleaner and smoother, All the cars are small. The houses are picturesque and close together. They look just like a postcard with flowers. concrete walls, window boxes. tiled roofs. The streets are cobblestone or brick in places and pavement in others. People on bikes ride with the cars. Most people cycle or walk. In fact they have motored bicycles. They are in the Shape of a girl’s bike with a bracket and a motor on the back Mann. The Scholls live on Jadgrund Street and their farm is big, with many flowers. There is a courtyard in the middle â€" a small one â€"â€" where the wash- ing is hung, and the dog, Rocco, sleeps here in his kennel. There is a barn with many hens and we sell eggs. I find I am ad- justing to their life. but it is much different from ours. It is peaceful and slow moving. In just a few days here I have become so tidy! My German is improving, but still I cannot understand what they say to each other as they speak so quickly. I have asked Godrun about taking a German course as in this way I would meet more people and be able to talk to them. Godrun is very differ- ent from the girls in Canada. but she is a very nice and un- derstanding and I speak Eng- lish to her. Her room connects onto mine. I am finding that my clothes are a lot too "good" for around the farm. Even though I am not to do farm work I will buy some "grub" shirts. Incidentally, I feel I will need that ski jacket so could you send it as soon as pos- sible'.’ Maybe a pair of old jeans Why is it that Centre Street West must be used to get to Trench Street? It doesn't even go directly through to Trench Street yet. Vaughan Road certainly does and is only two blocks south of Centre Street. I do believe it is a good idea to provide public trans- portation to the hospital, but must we sacrifice the resi- dential quality of our street? Ninety-nine percent of the people on Centre Street West have signed a petition in protest. I wonder if our mass disfavor will count for anything or will progress(?) and pollution win again?
