Richmond Hill Councillor Al Duffy contributed a small but meaningful energy saver that doesn’t cost anything but will probably end up saving a lot if everyone gets into the habit. Police Constable Phil Shrive saved the woman and the car from possible tragedy. The police had been notified when a passing motorist heard Ms. Stewart‘s screams for help as her car, at speeds up to 90 miles per hour, hurled itself down Yonge Street. Constable Shrive chased the Stewart vehicle and overtook it With her mind racing as fast as the car, Ms. Stewart had atâ€" tempted to stop the vehicle with the brakes, but that burned the brakes out She tried the emergency brake. but that didn‘t work eithen Why didn't she turn off the key? “You're the 200th person to ask me that,“ she said. “I just never thought of it."

PUBLISHER JOHN C. FERGUS PAGE A4 VOLUME 102. NUMBER 5 IELEPHONES Lib’éral 884-8177 8844105 881 -3373 We have more faith in York’s police chief and his force than that. We believe there was nothing underhanded or sneaky about the whole thing. The story came to light last week, thanks to a front page article in the Globe and Mail, which said the Ontario Police Commission was not impressed by the actions of the York police chief. Chief Crawford’s mistake â€"â€" if you can call it that â€" was flying to Cincinnati, with\ Family Leisure Centres paying for the trip. The inference, of course, is that because Family Leisure Centres paid for the trip, it’s natural that York Regional Police will tend to overlook any misdemeanors that may occur. And we believe that holds true for the principals involved with Canada's Wonderland. Unfortunately, on the surface, it “appears” to be a less-thanâ€"pure transaction, and one that the chief should have depended on the public to pick up the tab. He, and another police officer, visited the American city, to obâ€" serve security techniques, preparing for the opening of Canada‘s Wonderland, a huge amusement park in Maple, in 1981. John C.

It‘s all in the hands of the individuals." The board will likely know where it stands on the lock-out issue and final position by Friday. A District 11 spokesman later denied that was the sole reason for the breakdown in negotiating. METROSPAN ~ NORTH DIVISION 5T... EDITOR RON WALLACE BDCNA The Liberal office started the summer off in grand style by moving to a new location. Now we wallow in air conditioned comfort instead of sweltering claustrophobia, and it’s so nice. But with the big move, something else happened at the same time to create the hectic pace. Vacations started. Summertime, and the livin’ is easy . . . for some people maybe, but for others, things just get more hectic every day. Every person on the staff has a full schedule of events to cover every week, and when someone is away, the rest of us double up to make sure you get the news. One of our sister papers, The Woodbridge and Vaughan News, has a one-man editorial staff. When I arrived in Wood- bridge with my chest puffed out with my new importance, the first major decision was Jack is reporter, sports editor and editor, and he seems to handle it all well. When he went on vacation a few weeks ago, The Liberal replaced him with two people; not because it took two to do the job, but because the first person went to Woodbridge for a few days, and then he, too, went on vacation. Some people have all the nerve. This was going to be my big chance. I was going to be an editor for two whole days, and I was going to show everyone I knew what I was doing. Our editor at The Liberal gave me directions and promised his assistance, and I was on my way to stardom . . . or so I thought. But first, I had to find the Woodbridge office. Never having been out there, I didn’t have a clue where it was. LIBERAL ‘ SPRINKLINGS By MILLIE STEWART MAJOR DECISION major decision was Liberal Reporter My big chance to be an editor After about an hour of editing and writing and deciding what was going to go where in the paper, I got the shock of my ,life. Some sports I do like. Gently tossing a frisbee around the back yard, or maybe for a little more exercise, a quiet game of badminton. How funny . . . when I was going to be so important, I found myself in the role of janitor. The actual work didn’t frighten me a bit . . . well maybe just a tiny little bit, but I knew I could handle that part of the job. I realized I was also ex- pected to look after sports. SPORTS? What the heck did I know about sports? In soccer they wear those cute shorts, don’t they? And in baseball everyone tries to hit some poor fellow with a ball. But soccer and baseball . . Oh Lord, was I in trouble. That was about the time the great leader back in Richmond Hill probably regretted ever knowing Millie Stewart and ever having heard of The Woodbridge and Vaughan News. whether to change the light bulb in the editor’s office. The telephone lines from Woodbridge to Richmond Hill reached combustion point as I pleaded and begged for help. He did say he would help in any way he could and I needed it at that point so badly. The paper actually went to press on time. in spite of my bumbling stupidity. I would like to leave this parting thought with all editors planning vacations. My services as a replacement can be rented, but you must apply through my manager . . . and I do Not do sports . . . Never again. A couple of good cries later, things settled down. And ifI do say so myself, it didn’t look too bad. IT LOOKED OKAY Eâ€"â€"‘â€"â€" y BOB RICE Liberé'l Photo by Bruce Hogg OMB ruled in favor of the Town and the bylaw, but it was a sorry exer- cise in human intercourse â€" hardly conducive to a loving relationship among neighbors. Mr. McNalley's opinion was not shared by many of his auditors. However. counsel for Mr. McNalley objected with a fine show of righteous indignation at one point, that the hearing was to present facts not to offer opinions. As it turned out. there was little fact and even less substance in Mr. McNalley's objection. For instance, Mr. McNalley accepted as true a statement to the effect that he had, in constructing the building that houses the Thornhill Post Office, complied with the conditions im- posed by the Town of Markham and that he had followed the plans which he had solicited from the late Napier Simpson Jr.. Architect. The hearing din little to dispel the image of Mr. McNalley‘s second head. Letter The property had been an architect's office. Now it is a residence. Mr. McNalley wanted the Town to retain the property's commercial status. Mr. McNalley saw the bylaw as a door slam- ming on his hopes for the commercial redevelop- menl of the block bounded by Yonge. Colbourne, Eliza, and the new Centre Street extension. Mr. McNalley owns the property which houses the Thomhill Post Office. Mr. McNalley is misinformed. Two- headed ogre is not a characterization ever imputed to him among Thornhill residents. The epithets they habitually use are far less generous. Mr. McNalley won- dered out loud why it was that Thornhill residents appeared lo characterize him as a two-headed ogre. The occasion for his speculation was an OMB hearing on July 27 to rule on Mr. McNalley’s ob~ jection to a Markham Town bylaw reverting the status of the property on the corner of Colboume and Eliza in Thornhil] to R4. Bylaw was slamming his door, reader says Patrick Tram Thornhill Keep ’em happy Summers simply are not free One month down and one month to go. All across the country harried mothers are keeping a close watch on the calendar as that wonderful day fastapproaches. . . Back To School Day. The main problem is that, try as they might, the kids always complain that there is nothing to do! It isn't that they don’t love their children. They merely long to hear the pitter-patter of little feet running off to the institutes of higher learning. Since the doors of the little red schoolhouse closed in late June the children have been to the Ontario Science Centre ($12.50), visited Ontario Place ($21), spent two days at the Metro Zoo ($13.75), scaled the CN Tower ($14) and explored every inch of the Toronto Out Islands ($11.20). As July bites the dust and August looms large on the horizon, the average mother is scraping the bottom of the barrel in an attempt to keep her little ones happy. According to my own, scien- tific, clever and never to be faulted survey, the average houseful of little ones have already consumed 18 meals at McDonalds ($108), seen 11 movies including Superman twice ($122), gone through seven Doodle Arts ($34.95) and swam in the family pool four times ($7,699). In an effort to keep the smiles on their wonderful faces, the mother of ’79 has driven them to visit their friends and relatives ($213 including gas, oil, tax, licence and depreciation), stocked the freezer with ice cream, popsicles, and dreamsicles ($82), encouraged their understanding of literature by purchasing comic books, teen publications and the latest copies of Mad Magazine ($45.70) and ensured an unending supply of licorice ropes, candy bars, Smarties and jelly beans ($31). While the entire family is enjoying the cottage, the pets have been boarded ($70), the house watched ($5) and automatic timers set up in each room to make everyone think that they are still there when they really aren’t ($19.95). By the time the hallowed halls once again echo to the happy cries of youth, the mother of the average family will be teetering on a ner- vous breakdown, the father of the average family will be broke and the children of the average‘family willbegladtohitthebooks ... especially when they take into account that all summer long ‘there wasn’t anything to do’! To keep the family com- fortable and in good health during these two months, mom will have purchased new sneakers for each child ($42.75), socks, shorts and tops ($131), suntan lotion, insect spray, calamine lotion, bandages, splints and crutches ($32.67) and a case of Quench to ward off the summertime thirst ($36.95). Yet to come before the return to the classroom is the CNE ($55), four more movies ($44) and back- to-school clothes and books ($321.88). The 01’ Millpond Philosopher once said: “A parent is just a grown-up kid who wants his kids to grow up and act like a parent!” On those two days a week that Dad has not been busy slaying the dragon, he has added to his off- springs’ summer fun by taking them to Niagara Falls ($67.80), taking them to Collingwood ($51.50) and escorting them to a lion safari in deepest, darkest Ontario ($25.). In addition to all of this, the average family will have spent two weeks at a cottage ($420), rented a boat for those 14 days ($150) and have entertained all of the other kids at the resort at least three times ($41.90).
