By JIM IRVING When it comes to building new cities, “you’ve got to have heart," apparently. I That was one of the main points stressed by Toronto planning conâ€" sultant, Max Bacon, who appeared before York Regional Council last week. Bacon was one of three spokesmen for the Town of Vaughan to discuss the town’s amendment to its official plan for its proposed 75,000 Thornhill- Vaughan community plan. Purpose of the plan is “to create a distinctive and diverse com- munity. . .by the creation of 12 neigh- borhoods," including the present communities of Thornhill.

I If would take in 3,400 acres between Steeles Ave. and Highway 7: _ So-called “heart of the matter" would be at the intersection of Bathurst St. and Highway 78, taking in some 210 acres. This would include a major shopping centre, hotel, offices, community centre, civic park and high density apartments. Bacon, who praised the plan, described it as one that “has heart," with a “real attempt to create a meaningful town centre. “It’s important to have heart," Bacon said; “We have ,tried to create communities with heart; it‘s not easy.” ' Bacon eniphasized that the plan was not going to ThornhiII-Vaughan community amendment okayed by Region As the long winters gave way to the warmer weather of spring, the pioneers dosed them- selves with home made tonics to prepare for the busy season which lay ahead. The recipe of one of these tonics, called Hop Bitters, called for 11/2 oz. dandelion root, 11/4 oz. mandrake root, 11/4 oz sarsaparilla, 11/4 oz. buchu, 1%; 02. black cherry and 1N oz. gentian root. Directions were to steep two handfuls of hops in five quarts of boiling water for five hours. Strain and add all the above items plus one quart of whiskey. The dose was a half wine glass three times daily. For headache a dessert spoonful of a concoction of 7 oz. of dandelion ex- tract, a half 02. of ground mandrake root and a quart of liquor was ad- vised. Hot milk with a teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of ginger was claimed as a sure cure for a cough. Later, honey mixed with lemon juice also helped ease a racking cough. The ashes of a cob of corn applied three or four times a day was recommended for canker sores. To dry up a ringworm the recommendation was to put a penny in a tablespoon of vinegar and let it remain until it became green, washing the ringworm with the vinegar two or three times a day. To beautify teeth the recipe instructed the reader to dissolve two ounces of borax in three pints of boiling water, and before it became cold to add a teaspoonful of spirits of camphor and bottle the fluid. One teaspoonful of this mixture with an equal amount of tepid water was the recommendation â€"â€" but whether as a mouthwash or to be used in brushing the teeth was not indicated. Mud or blue clay and vinegar applied to a bee sting would take out the pain. it was claimed.

However, all the plan amounted to was another 75,000 people and “Vaughan won't be able to do it anymore than any other places," Forhan He said he was “tired of listening to the depart- ment of agriculture or the province state that they were out to save agricultural land.” The plan is expected to proceed in three stages, with the first allowing a population of 25,250 people. the second moving it up to 38.000 by 1986. and the third reaching 75.000 by the year 2020. '_ He said it was time that the region “took a stand and said: let’s play straight from the belt and develop, or not develop. No games.” Newmarket Mayor Bob Forhan said Vaughan had “done the best job possible": “happen overnight.” It was referred to as a secondary plan, but was the official plan “in a way”.

Fanshawe planning 70th anniversary Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Schiller said he “wouldn't feel com- fortable" asking the minister of housing to “consider” various recommendations, as set out in the first revised set. They should be in the form of conditions, he said. The amendments in question, which dealt with area municipal, regional municipal and .school board financial planning for the community, plus one to “consider” the provision for a solid waster disposal plan, were later changed to “include" these said. “We’re just pawns in a chess game,” he added. and early October Our second event is the Main Campus’ Open House from September 29 W.

So we drew up a checklist of features that mattered most to us. Here they are. Pleasantville has them all: Our house looks out on Pleasantville's own landscaped park. That’s on one side. On the other lies a roIIing autumn meadow. And beyond is the lush greenery of the Country Club. Only some ten or twelve houses are completed each year. And every new arrival is immediate|y accepted into the "family".

And we’re only six minutes down Bathurst to Steeles. Or an easy, thrifty trip right into downtown by Go-Train or GoBus. And you’ll feel at home among the executive families for whom the community was designed. Checking the actual records, we found that Pleasantville homes have continued to increase in value more than anywhere else in Greater Metro. There’s no through traffic, so it's safe for our children, their games and their bikes. Every home owner has room for a swimming pool. Neighborhood fishing in a 19th dentury mill-pond. Pleasantville school is right there - no car pools for us. As for the school itself, The Liberal commented that it was full of over-achievers. One reason is that, for a quarter century, the same original architect has continued to supervise every custom designed house, right down to the landscaping (at least two large trees, six foundations for every home). Two beautiful white birches grace our own sloping lawn. Perhaps the atmosphere is best summed up by our street name â€" Neighbourly Lane. It joins Easy Street (a fact). Nearby are Leisure Lane, Starlight Crescent, Sugarmaple Lane - all in Pleasantville. It’s true that the builders take much longer to build a house in Pleasantville. Everything must be of the best. And when you move in, you know you have something that will endure. We can already picture our youngest daughter -â€" someday - descending the polished, winding oak stain/vay... in her wedding gown. Traditional architecture. But behind the scenes the most modern of labor-saving devices. Of course, there's a quiet pride, too, in the fact that Pleasantville has won awards for its beauty. It’s the only community in all of Canada to have been featured in an American architectural magazine. And so all of us who live on Neighbourly Lane invite you personally to visit us â€"SOON.
