RICHMOND HILL â€"â€" The beginning of a new system of transit services on the North Yonge corridor will be preceded by a week-long display ser- ving as a reminder of the past. The public will have the opportunity to see mementoes and information centre at two Richmond Hill locations, prior to GO Transit replacing the 'I‘TC red bus service on North Yonge Nov. 28. The only major piece of hardware extant from the 52-year era of electric railway service on North Yonge will house an information centre and historical display on the parking lot of Richmond Heights plaza. Car 416 escaped the scrappers' torch after North Yonge Railways was abandoned in 1948. The old girl was moved to Hillsburg, where she was home to a large family for 23 years. Inside the car, visitors will find photographs depicting transit services on North Yonge from the stage coaches of the 18705, through the radial cars of the turn of the century and the streetcars of the Second World War era to the bus services of today and tomorrow. A few years ago, this valuable ar- tifact was saved by the Ontario Electric Railway Historical Association which operates a living streetcar museum near Rockwood. Association volunteers have restored 416 for this display. The second display, inside Hillcrest Mall, will feature one of the stage coaches that plied North Yonge from the 18705 until the coming of the electric cars as well as a similar display of historical photos. Information on the new G0 Bus North Yonge services will be available at both displays and GO personnel will be on hand to answer questions. Bus history display here Wednesday, November 17, 1976 A4.

Don Knight, director of the region's development branch, said the names present problems in emergencies, such as fire and ambulance calls.

Reorganization didn‘t cause growth problems. nor was it meant to be a solution for them, “but as a means to cope with them," the report said. “The regional government in York provides the forum to insure that the views of all people throughout the region are presented in resolving all common problems," Wright said. Regional council was coping with continuous growth problems and providing the necessary services for the people in the area, he said. Born in East Gwillimbury in 1920, Wright resides on property that has been in his family for 130 years. Owner of a general insurance business since 1952, Wright is a former reeve and deputy reeve of the township, and was warden of York County in 1968. He was appointed chairman' of York Region in 1970 for a fourâ€"year term, and was elected in 1975 for two years. v: V There were no late entries in the mayoralty or York regional council campaigns. fâ€"â€"-â€" There were several new candidates Prlce 20 cents for both public and separate school â€"â€"â€"* â€" ’ board elections in Richmond Hill. Here is the complete list: Mayor â€" David Schiller, Gordon Rowe. RICHMOND HILL â€" All six ward councillors in Richmond Hill will face opposition in the Dec. 6 election. Many of the candidates have been known or expected for the past few weeks, but it became official late Monday when the time for filing nomination papers came to an end. The place for high density is where there is a “a higher order of services,“ Adams said. RICHMOND HILL â€" Some un- solicited advice for development of the Langstaff jail farm site in Richmond Hill was offered last week by Markham mayoralty candidate Bob Adams. Adams, speaking at a press con- ference on Cable 10 TV here last week, suggested at least part of the GOO-acre property would be ideal for apartment buildings. He also went against his own town‘s recently formulated Official Plan Regional councillors (2) â€" Lois Hancey, Eric George and Lou Wain- wright. Ward 1 â€" Andy Chateauvert, Peter DeVita and Bob Wright. Ward 2 â€" Al Duffy, William Lazenby.

Mill Street reconstruction and tran- sportation services.” Schiller said these meetings have allowed for useful exchanges between council and the public, but “of the approximately 60 meetings held I cannot recall Regional Councillor Rowe attending a single one. “That is an attitude of politicians past which I had hoped by now would have been done away with." In his statement on government costs, Rowe said Richmond Hill‘s ex- penditures have been rising faster on a per-capita basis than those of any other York Region municipiality. Danson likes new job THORNHILL â€" Canada‘s new minister of defence flew into his riding for two meetings Saturday and then flew right out again. Barnéy DansoB, MP for York North, was home for two seminars, paid for entirely by himself. One was on youth and the other on senior citizen problems. They were held at the Thornhill Community Centre. Two local reporters managed to comer him between sessions to find out how he felt about being switched from the ministry of urban affairs 10 days ago. Shifting is always a “tortuous process”, he said and an old minister must never interfere with what a new one is doing. But as “an old soldier" he may have even wanted to move to defence too much. Danson started in the ranks of the Queen‘s Own Rifles, worked his way up to be an officer in the Second World War and was wounded in Normandy. He is now honorary colonel. Christmas Fair Saturday.

Joan Greer, Michael O'Flaherty and Conn Thompson. (Three to be elected.) John Stephens has been acclaimed to serve again as Roman Catholic representative for Markham and Rich- mond Hill on York County board of education. Statements and photos of candidates who have not previously been published will appear in next week's Liberal. which calls for urban development in the Riseborough (Milliken) area of Markham. Richmond Hill council is on record in favor of preserving the jail farm site basically as open space, with some allowance for public recreation use. Adams. chairman of Markham‘s planning committee, is opposing Mayor Tony Roman in the current election campaign. This section. he said, should remain as farmland because it forms a buffer between Markham and Scarborough. “Spending increases in Richmond Hill have been startling. In the past five years they have averaged 20 per cent per year while our population has gone up_about 1 perhce‘nt per year." “This trend must be arrested, and if elected I intend to make municipal restraint a top priority. » “A more businesslike approach should be taken with respect to our affairs. With a relatively static population. you can't hope to continue increasing the town‘s expenditures at such a rate without placing an,un- bearable load on our citizens." firOVhré éapita‘baéis, this is a rise in expenditures from $85.73 in 1971 to $148.63 in 1975. ' iglhrcre 1974. Rowe said, spending “has jumped $1.2 million or almost 30 per cent. He was flying out of CFB Downsview Saturday to catch an 8 pm. flight to Britain for a NATO conference. Transport Minister Otto Lang has been given a rough ride in the House of Commons lately over $800,000 worth of flights on government and military aircraft. including a trip to the Grey Cup game. Danson’s executive assistant, Betty Priddle, said Danson used government planes when he had no idea what his schedule was going to be. “For example, this seminar was supposed to end at 4:30 pm. but it will probably go to 5:30 pm. and he has to be in Ottawa by 8 pm." He is careful about expenses, or- dering the most economical car rentals, she said, and staying at inexpensive hotels. He paid for the two seminars out of his own pocket About 60 young people attended the morning session and 160 senior citizens the one in the afternoon. Advertising was done through a postman‘s walk through the whole York North riding.
