Vaughan will raise the flag high for the York Region United Way but council has mixed feelings about canvassing in the town offices. “1 don’t think it should be up to us to decide what the staff wants," said Councillor Lorna Jackson, referring to a committee decision to allow canvassers to approach employees during business hours and to permit payroll deductions to be made. The staff report had recommended ' against this, she pointed out. Councillor Terry Goodwin felt that, if council reversed the “I agree,“ said Coun‘cillor Ab Hollingshead. “It is an invasion of privacy. Employees should not be approached at their place of work.” YMCA programs in Richmond Hill will be starting the week of Sept. 26 for all members of the family, from pre- schoolers to grand- parents. He indicated that he was not opposed to the United Way, however. Vaughan supports United Appeal but may not canvass its offices YMCA programs get underway A-Z â€"â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday.

Councillor Holling- shead cautioned that to let the United Way in would be paving the way for other charities to follow suit. Clerk Ted Jackman predicted that employees would give less money if approached at work than they would if asked to donate “on a purely volunteer basis”. “It should be a voluntary approach in every way," he said. “You can sell anybody anything if you do it in close_ quarters.” Coimcillor Jackson agreed. “It would be opening doors," she said.

Councillor Goodwin warned that it might take “three or four years” to undo the damage if council didn’t let an office canvass take place. “If it’s getting to be this much of a case, go ahead and scuttle it,” he remarked. Councillor Dario Di Giannantonio said there was no plan to scuttle the United Way and stated there were other ways of collecting. “Snob as?” asked Councillor Goodwin. “I’m not going to justify myself to you,” replied Councillor Di Giannantonio. Leaflets could be left in the office suggested Councillor Jim Cameron. “And if any member wants a payroll deduction and approaches the treasurer, I would hope the services would be available.” Council was under a “complete misunders- tanding”, Councillor Dave Fraser believed.

It was suggested that the canvasser should be allowed to approach staff employees “in a manner approved by the chief administrative officer", Lori Staples said. “I will put my trust in the CAO’(Miss Staples) that the employees will not be hassled," said Councillor Jackson. Council agreed to the modification. The week of October 9 will be declared “United Way Week” in Vaughan but the flag will be flown for the whole month. It will be raised officially next Monday morning at the town offices. The heavy firing back and forth was all part of an open meeting at which the defence minister apâ€" peared solely to talk with the people on an informal basis, and didn’t give a prepared speech beforehand. Liberal MP? for York Centre, Alf Stong of Rich- mond Hill, joined Danson later in the meeting. Setting the mood for the session was the second speaker of the evening, Jim Newton of Richmond Newton chastized the government for what he felt was its lack of con- sultation with the citizens in dealing with various national issues. Citing the recent conversion to the metric system as an example, Newton said the govern- ment “cried” it hadn’t money for many other projects, but spent millions on the changeover. MONEY WASTE He said he could un- derstand the change for its international use for trade purposes, but questioned changing miles per hour to kilometres per hour. Barney Danson may not have been Canada's defence minister that long, but he found himself deep in the combat zone Monday night. In fact, the Liberal MP for York North was definitely on the firing line at a meeting at the Richvale community centre in Richmond Hill, as he took on a steady stream of citizens, who were there, as it turned out, mostly to criticize and not to praise the minister and the other members of the Trudeau regime. Danson, however, fired back, upholding such things as the govern- ment‘s policies in Quebec â€" many of the speakers seemed to feel their English-speaking heri- tage was being threatened â€" plus its attitude toward suc- cession duties. While the speakers attacked the governâ€" ment’s policy of taking as much as it could get that way, Danson was more of the mind that you can’t take it with you, so why not let the government use it. Hill In Rich vale “It’s a gioss waste of money,” Newton said: He said, also, that Canada contributed generously to the welfare of other countries, while it still had “great poverty” at home. In the meantime, the government came back to him as a worker and blamed him for inflation. “Tell Pierre: ‘Buddy, we’ve had enough.” " Newton said. “I think politicians just don’t care,” he concluded to a prolonged bout of applause from the audience. “Obviously, you’ve hit a sensitive note,” Danson replied, A A He said that‘ politicians did care; that frustration was as much a part of their life, too. So far as consultation was concerned, how much should they have?

Danson on flrlng Ilne DOES IT NOW? Richmond Hill Willowdale swer is in reducing what we have in the rest of the world, the answer is in maintaining this kind of communication," Danson said. indicating the meeting at large. “We usually only hear complaints after the fact and then it’s too late," he added. x He said that, “as a nation, we have to take stock". Canada’s productivity in the world had been dropping “I wouldn't trust any politician who says everything is going to be fine". He said he was con- cerned with the “inadequate” way in which labor and management dealt with each other; there was going to have to be more efficiency there. BOTHERED Dave Stephenson, a former member of Rich- mond Hill council, ac- cused Danson of “spitting and whistling at the same time," in his answers to the country‘s problems. Stephenson said that, he (Stephenson) was trying to create jobs and build up a small family business, but the government was taking everything away with succession duties. He said he was also "bothered" by Anti- Infrlation Board restrictions and “the French taking over the country”. “I’d like to see Quebec clean up its act, before you make the rest of Canada bilingual," he said. “I want French Canadians trained in one language . . .When you have people like Jean Chretien (new finance minister) and Monique Begin (proposed health minister) . . .I’m proud Danson replied that there was “no French takeover.” It was “a catch-up of inequities of the past." Separation was merely one answer; it wasn’t a solution. “I want French Canadians as part of this country, " Danson said. AVOI] If you love to work With people. make It an Avon Christmas!

In replying to concerns about death duties and the A18. Danson said he felt the former were equitable. “That's why people are suspicious." NOT THREATENED In answer to another speaker’s concern about potential domination by French-speaking people, Danson said he didn't feel threatened by the French language, or the people. It, was a “hot, emotinal issue,” and had little to do with safety. Danson said. “Are we going to become a French nation, or a bilingual one?“ she went on. to be a Canadian.“ The country was in trouble if it couldn‘t accommodate such people, he said. When another speaker lamented what she charged was the lack of an English-speaking person at the Canadian embassy in France. Danson said he was unaware of the situation and would look into it. tE-XEEE?’ 10 lb. Chicken Legs 10 lb. Chicken Breast 10 lb. Side Ribs “ 11] lb. Pork Chops 10 lb. BunChops 10 lb. Bacdn 10 lb.
