Alderman John Sewell is endeavoring to block the sale. arguing that allowing GO-lrain service to Richmond Hill would add to an already “harmful” commuter system to the citv. He then went on to say the gove1 ment hoped it would not be necessary He said planning staff from the city. Metro and the province has advised that the city “in the interests not only of itself but the whole region should not be doing anything to encourage a com- muter system.“ Mayor David Crombie disagreed saying, “If people from York Region Established 1878 Richmond Hill Edition $160,000 available , Hancey as well the govern» Another Richmond Hill represen- lecessary to tative on council, Lois Hancey. also the in lieu of parkland These monies. according to the act, must be placed in a park purchase account to be used to acquire parkland or to develop or improve existing parks; The municipality also receives 5 per cent land, or cash in lieu of land, on all land severances. 77 To date the park purchase account stands at $160,000. it was reported to council Nov. 17.

These debenture payments and a closely trimmed budget restrict the development and improvement work which can be carried out annually, it was claimed.

Much depended on the growth of Whitchurch - Stouffville and the development of inter-urban rail; what the government and the municipalities did about land freeze there. So far as York's preparations for its official plan were concerned, McKeough said: “If I were York I would proceed on the basis there will be no airport” McKeough questioned When confronted with Rowe‘s remarks later in the day that he had not said the same thing to council. McKeough replied: “Well, that's his interpretation." McKeough said he told the meeting three things: the airport was canâ€" celled; all hope was that a second one wouldn‘t be necessary; they had to decide whether to keep options on the Pickering site. can‘t come to the city on a GO-train. they are not going to come down by donkey." No C0~train will mean more cars in downtown Toronto, he stated. In a letter to the executive. Mayor David Schiller of Richmond Hill said GOâ€"train service has long been sup- ported by his municipality. pointing out it has adopted definite urban limits as objectives for a new official plan now being prepared. Sewell countered by saying Schiller is “a trifle muddled. On one hand he supports deconcentration and on the other, commuters.“ WEDNESBAY, NOVEMfiBERMZfi,’ 17791757 Sewell also said he believed the Rich- mond Hill mayor to be incredibly op- timistic that York Region municipalities will be able to attract growth away from downtown Toronto. fornlula at Newmarket, Aurora.

There [is every indication the Pickering airport will eventually be built, according to Barney Danson, York North MP and minister of urban affairs. Mr. Danson, currently in the riding to attend to constituency matters‘ gave his views about the controversial airport site to The Liberal. The Pickering site was approved by the federal government in March of 1972. The program to build the airport was cancelled in September 1975 after the provincial government withdrew its support. :‘i think it will he demanded for the economic base of this area," said Danson. Needed eventually Asked if he would consider the airport site for housing he stated the land is being held in reserve, and the govern- ment's position is it will be needed for an airport eventually. “It's being held in reserve for that purpose until it's proved it‘s not needed," stated Danson. “But every indicator is that ultimately it will be. Right now, the indicators are there will be immense congestion at Malton, and a deflection of traffic to Mirable before that airport will ever be ready." Expects public pressure Danson added he felt public pressure would get the project going again, but said he did not mind a breathing space before this occurs. “It will give us a chance to let things happen,” he said, but added “I‘m deeply disturbed this might cause a period of inconvenience, and I hope we can get something better in the long run.” Danson said only “a change in technology, which is not forseen, or in travel patterns, which is not foreseen either," would be likely to prevent a public demand for the airport. even because of it, the last decade has seen some remarkable changes in the nursing profession. both in salaries paid and duties perforrried. , J _ 4 _ _ A Besides a Registered Nurse degree.

Barney Danson, privy councillor, member of Parliament, minister of state for urban affairs, and soon-to-be-installed honorary lieutenant-colonel of the Queen’s Own Rifles, came home to his riding of York North last week. ' Just before being fitted for the uniform of his latest rank. Danson found time to share some of his con- cerns about the area he represents, and about the country as a whole. Asked whether the mail strike had cut off communications with his con- stituents, Danson replied that “in in- credible ways pe0ple are getting mail through to me.” He “said people calling him on the mail strike itself were urging the government not to give in In fact, many threatened to withdraw their support of the anti-inflation program if the postal workers‘ demands were acceded to Danson said a few people are even suggesting workers be legislated back to work, or that the army be brought in.

They‘ve already got their hedges built in. The small person is in a different position. He wants to make very sure he’s not being discriminated against, and we wants to make very sure he’s not.” Danson added that there isn‘t com- plete fairness involved but that the program had been designed to be as fair as possible. “If we had thought it was going to be easy we‘d have done it a year ago, but we knew these problems would exist,” he said. - He recognized the concern of workers who feel that because they are readily identifiable they are easy to control.
