the company r still has the prerogative of applying for a i further expansion and continuance of the site t given the ministry of the environments attitude to date there is ho reason to feel another expansion would be refused at the end of the environmental hearings this newspaper predicted the town would lose u autumn festivities need coordiriatirig j v the past weekend has proved to be about the busiest of the entire year for social ac- i tivities j as well as baseball golf tournaments and i horse shows there were three major events for t this area c brougharri miissum held their history in f 5 action program the uxbridge fair was on and markham museum held their markham heritage festival saturday we can find nofault with these activities they were all well organized and presented variety of interesting shows displays and u other entertainments i the thing that bothered us though was that these activities were all scheduled for the same weekend this is unfortunate as these events merely succeeded in setting themselves up incom- 5 petition against each other y j v many people who conceivably might haven- attended twoor even threejofi these events r contented themselves with attending pnly one to attend more than one would have required- a good deal of hustling around which tends to defeat thewhole purpose as far as most people are concerned c in covering the events our reporters spoke ivjto people at the heritage festival who said they were skipping brougham this year and it v- the same story at the other events possibly the three groups could get together next year and coordinate their ac tivities so they could remove the conflicts if the second weekend in september is considered a prime time then the three t organizations could possibly- rotate their events every year i v 1 it is selfdefeating or these activities which feature many similar events to take place at the same time they all would likely receive more support from the public if they could be held at nonconflicting times not because the dump is a safe site but because of the obvious bias of both the en- yironmerital hearing board and the ministry we dont feel particularly smug that our forecast proved accurate in fact we would much rather have been proved wrong it is unfortunate the town was lulled into a false sense of security by the change of at titude that mayor gordon ratcliff assured us had taken place at the ministry if it wasnt fori this false optimism the town could have proceeded a long time ago to explore alternate methods of opposing the dump either through the courts or by approaching the ombudsman as it is the province managed to stall the issue through more than two whole years while the hearings were in progress and then through the long months we have waited for an official decision in an addendum to the certificate of approval granted to york sanitation it is noted the monitoring results to date although extensive do not conclusively in dicate the impact that previous liquid disposal operations together with existing solid waste disposal operations will have on the utilization of the surrounding groundwater that is an admission that they are as much in the dark about the dumps potential for pollution now as they were two years ago the most recent tests indicate there is still a chemical imbalance mpp bill hodgson will have a

senior citizens- i- l there is no doubt they are both active a senior citizens whose impact on the whit- churchstouf fville museum is undeniable but j they are notas we reported both in their 70s 7 mrbrillingeris69andmrsbrillinger is f 65 mrs brillingerwas quite definite in last week i mentioned neighbors and after id finished the column ithought some more about mine if you live in a city apartment youll v probably never know your neighbor two doors down the hall and will take two years before you are on nodding acquaintance with those next door s thats fine for some people they actually like to retreatinto their cells and resent any encroachment on their socalled privacy but if you live in a small town in a house you have neighbors for better or worse and- you might as well relax and enjoy it an unmixed blessing jtheycanbea terrible pain inthearm j- when i was a kid we spent our summers at a cottage next door was an old bat who was the quintessence- of a bad neighbor everybody else at the lake was part of a big happy family not so this one she sneered and snarkedand caused endless trouble finally she put up a fence between her property and ours so we couldnt walk on her lawn which wasnothing but pine needles we solved this- by jumping the fence and walking across her pine needles while she peered from behind the curtains calling down curses on the brown barefooted vandals that was a nasty one and caused my mother im sure some anguish but there arent many like that most neighbors like yourself are pretty fine people if you treat them as you wish to be i treated by others- vv thereis one thing about neighbors they are likeyelativeslyou cant pick and choose youtakes what you gets youidontibuya house because 6f the neighbors- though it might be agood idea to think about it- ive been lucky all my life and ive been lucky in my neighbors in the last town we lived in they were the salt of the earth one of them was even decent enough to have his house burn down onenight in a spectacular fire which i got my kids out of bed to watch something theyll never forget i dont expect that kind of service from all s my neighbors mind you that was being neighborly to the point of no return but weve been in this house going on 20 years and i couldnt have done better for neighbors if id handpicked them on one side lives a carpenter andcon- tractor for a guy like me who cant hammer two boards together without making a hand sandwich itsbetter than haying afairy godmother he is the soul of generosity when it comes to lending advice and nails- and when im standing looking stupidly at some project that would take me a week he comes over does it in eight minutes and when of fered pay says forget it he also has a warm and pleasant wife and a son who has grown into a dandy snow- shoveller and lawncutter on another side my neighbor is a sailor dont see much of him in the summer but in the spring he whistles over the fence and holds out a big newspaperful of fresh smelt or perch fillets had to cutdown one of my oaks the other day that was threatenening to fall on his house it cost me 300 but who in his right mind wouldnt trade mere money for a panful of fried smelt andthe spirit behind them up the street a couple of houses lives gabehe is a former plumber and still has the tools and the skills of his craft wheh you have guests arriving and the sink is plugged and the regular plumbers are having their foinday weekend- gabe comes to the rescue in 10 minutes the sink isslurphing water again and gabe doesnt want an arm a leg and your liver acrossthe way lives john a teachera u mathematical whiz and a delighter in the solving of problems for example my wife is awayfor a week i want to do a washing i cant get the washing machine going call john he whips across the street through the n srtsw and in five minutes the washing is chunking away and when my wife is away his wife nips across and puts a jar of home made soup inside my back door when we go awayfor a few days the neighbors keep an eye on the place as though l it were their own pick up the newspapers a v feed the cat make sure the doors are locked cut the grass if itneeds it l n perhaps bestof all is the knowledge that they are there if you need them- a sudden emergency a minor calamity and theyll be there to drive you phone adoctor bring food whatever 1 this closeness might seem appalling to city folk with their preoccupation with privacy but good neighbors dont live in each others laps they have their families we have ours we dont encroach on their lives they dont on ours they havetheir friends we have ours and theyre not necessarily the i same j- poet robert frost summed it up as poets so often do when he intoned good fences make gooid neighbors and hewasnt just talking about fences 1 so there you arechaps lets see you come upwith a fisherman a carpenter a plumber and a troubleshooter and id say youre as lucky as i am when it conies

we expect that meat prices will increase by 15 percent to 25 percent during the fourth quarter of 1976 in toronto reflecting both sharply higher wholesale costs and an in- dustry move to rebuild
