The Honourable Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Revenue, has therefore extended to January 19, 1978, the date upon which the annual assessment roll is returned in all municipalities and localities inVOntario. EXCEPT those nounicipalities located in The Reginal Municipality of Waterloo where the day upon which the assessment roll is returned will be extended to March 16. 1978. This extension affects the time period during which owners and tenants may appeal their assessments. As a result. the final date for lodging a complaint with the Assessment Review Court in respect of any assessment contained in the assessment rolls. is extended from January 19, 1978 to February 9, 1978. In The Regional Municipality of Waterloo the date for lodging a complaint has been extended to April 7, 1978.

This involves the placing and com- pacting of a minimum of one foot of granular material in areas where As you have no doubt noted, the restoration in most areas has progressed slowly and this has been occasioned to a large degree by the inclement weather conditions.

Should the frost prove severe some portions of the work mayk be deferred until next spring. Again we would suggest that you contact the Consultant or the Town for further in- formation.

There will be further inconvenience to the residents during those periods when the frost leaves the ground and road settlements and break ups will occur (mild winter and spring days).

Works Commissioner, Richmond Hill. NOTICE OF APPLICATION Letters Upon one’s return it is easier to discern the tone and tenor of our living that is too easily passed off as “modern times", Perhaps it is a good thing to get away from Canada for a few months. The charm and warm- heartedness has gone out of our life. Yet there was such a thing where if one listens to the old times and the dedicated neigh- borliness that used to be here. What has happened to us? Radio and TV should have been an assistance to carry on this tem- perament. But it didn‘t. Everyone knows that the Postal people are still working to rule in their own secluded way. We are continually overwhelmed with trash mail; nobody wants it. Yet this is allowed to prevail unchecked. Advertisers seem to feel there is no limit to what the public will take â€" and without any murmur “for advertising pays". Did you ever watch a hockey game? What h o c k e y g a m e '? Apparently the powers that be feel the general public are a bunch of wooden headed stupids. Why not shut down TV for the first five mornings of the week and start about 12 o’clock with the news? Why must we pay for something we have no use for? This is Canada â€"- this is not USA. But how can one bring back the genial, warm, For a program to be started, it has to be in demand, and I would say that quite a few of the Region’s taxpayers are Italian, therefore, they have as much right as the next person to ask for a special program in their children‘s education; whether or not they get it. I would like to express my opinion about the article by Jim Irving, “Teachers have enough trouble with English". One impression 1 had upon reading the article, was that these children would be taught Italian at the expense of the York County Taxpayers. Is Mr. IrQing implying that none of these tax- payers are Italian? Many taxpayers are Italian, reader states CBC could unite country, reader says A few months ago it was this writer’s experience to tune in on BBC-TV programs. Somehow they seemed a little more warm-hearted and folksy. It is then one realizes what we Canadians are missing. For this is an element we need more of in our own land. Perhaps the most important feature in this respect, was the Sunday Song Service at 6:30 pm. and lasted for an hour. What ‘a delightful surprise to heave a services from Wales with their glorious singing voices; or a mining town in Yorkshire with the Company’s Brass band to lead. Sometimes and orchestra led the singing or a Salvation Army Band. It could be a service from Exeter in Devon- shire. or Aberdeen, Glasgow. Cumbernauld, Dundee or Edinburgh. sincerity that used to be Canadian? May this writer offer a suggestion. This program occured in the fall, winter and spring months; 10 in a series before Christmas and 10 afterward. One remembers the opening of the Scottish General Assembly in Edinburgh with the Queen in attendance; “Old Hundredth” was never sung with greater vigor â€" and the singing began with the Assem- bly’s Precentor and‘his tuning fork. The Queen was visibly impressed; later. she started her Silver Jubilee Canada is a country of Immigrants and one would think that trying to understand one another would be the order of the day, rather than putting each other down. I must confess, I was very disappointed by this amide. J. Bencic Richmond Hill It seems ironic to me, that with the Quebec problem before our eyes daily, some people could be so insensitive. I agree that Immigrants should adopt the customs of their new country, but you must admit that wishing to learn another language, does not make them “Unpatriotic”. Mr. irving also says that other countries, Russia, for one, would not change their curriculums to appease the Immigrants; well, I don’t know about Russia, but I know that in Italy, Yugoslavia, and several other European coun- tries, English is taught in elementary school and if they can do it, we can certainly return the courtesy. depends on the School Board. - Electronic Business Systems Electronic .

But now to come back to the outline of such a service. At the beginning 10 minutes description that highlights the noteworthy features of the area; they may be historical; the Camera sometimes showed things of interest of the town or countryside. The TV audience felt this was a personal in- vitation to come and join in. All denominations were brought together in that particular area in- cluding the Roman Catholic priest and his people. It would seem that choirs from each group had been gathered â€" all who really love to sing. And they filled the large church or Cathedral to standing room. Then the Minister of that Church gave a suitable Call to Worship; and the singing began. The Leader usually stood in the high pulpit and directed both Band and people. Their en- thusiasm seemed an occasion â€" a real happy celebration to them personally. And never once did one observe someone gawking at the camera. Of course. the BBC have had years of ex- perience in preparing such a program and putting it on the air. Undoubtedly this is one way the folk in the UK. get to know and un- derstand each other in a pleasant, happy way. The hard-nosed economic god was effectively subdued. There is more to human existence than the slavery of paying bills and squaring one's ac- counts; or making money to make more money. Many times it seemed to this writer that since this type of program works wonders in the UK, why can’t we do this in Canada? After all, we do have Ministerial Associations all across this land who certainly know the local resources in people, musically speaking. Most of us have friends and relatives all over this wide and spread-out country. Maybe you are like me, who would like to hear such a service from Quebec City, Frobisher Bay, Sydney, Cape Breton, Halifax. Newfoundland, Frede- ricton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Windsor, Barrie, Sudbury, Winnipeg, Old Kildonan near Winnipeg, Brandon. Regina. Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, Comox, and many places in between. They are at the grass roots and should be in- vited to consider a proposition of this kind. This writer can remember that regular Sunday morning Services were broadcast locally 25 years ago in Port Hope. What a glorious Christmas Card it would be to hear from the folks wherever they are.

It is going a little too far for something secular to replace a classical program like that. It seems that “Hymn Sing” was eliminated altogether. It is plain thinking to know that the hard nosed economic god will never pull this country together. let alone a competitiVe sport. Certainly it is divisive. We really need to reach a little higher. Or is social status so strong and important that one just dare not venture from the exclusive circle?
