THE ERA WED SEPTEMBER VOL Wo No More Scars A group of King City residents have formed a committee to save village from bulldozer The groups aims are commendable and anyone in the area should join their right Today many beautiful acres of farmland old trees and even homes are being destroyed to make way for super highways The Era does not dispute the necessity of constructing super high- nays But super highways must not be built at the expense of peopla and properly The residents of King moved to that community because they liked its rural atmosphere its tranquility and its removal from the of Toronto Their must bo protected and this group of residents is going protecting them in a serious and unemotional way They want to know If this super highway is necessary and if there In not mi alternate route to that chosen by the government There already has been too many concrete scars constructed In the name of progress Its A Shame A vicious campaign has been waged to defeat a plebiscite which would have given the residents of Lake south shore municipalities more public The Village of Suttons voters went to the polls Monday to vote on a bylaw which would bring them feet of shoreline and five acres of public parkland adjacent Jacksons Point Par As a result of a strong antipark campaign the down the bylaw Its a great shame that this added public lakefront has been lost by the concerted efforts of only a handful who fought the issue because of pergonal Interest The campaign reached the heights of dirtiness when an unsigned circular was which insinuated that Sutton residents would lose their Centennial Project a library if they voted for the park The anonymous opponents even went so far as to bring in the name of a local service club in their efforts to have the park rejected its a shame too that proponents of the park did not see fit lo tell their side of the story In more forceful terms They would have had easy selling job because the public was getting a bargain The villages average property owner would have had to pay between 3 and SI a extra in laws for the For that and they would have had a total of feet of public and an eight acre park bargain would have brought more tourists and the And the park would have been a legacy for Lack Of Interest of course to the emotion of a key to Col Malcolm CD by Mayor A Kent symbolic of The Freedom of the

fall- THIS WEEK AND NEXT By Hay EXPO A Priceless Gem It is months In the opening of Expo In Mont real but this greatest of Canadian Centennial events has so far fail ed to generate much enthusiasm throughout the country Why Do loo many Canadians regard Expo as a Montreal show only or as an accomplishment of French Canada which the rest of the country can smugly ignore Or is the general Indifference which am convinced exists throughout the country mainly due lo the fact that because of the distance and coat involved only a minority of Canadians will be able to attend AH of these factors are to some degree present Hut in the four years in which I have followed the progress of Expo since Canada was tided the World Inhibi tion I have become more than ever convinced thai those Canadians who I this will be cheating llieniehrs To begin with Expo is being heavily underwritten by the Cana dian government the final de ficit might be million dollars and if were stuck with pick ing up the tab we might as well enjoy the show Ilul in he lung run the cost to Canada will probably be slight in thai the millions visitors not jnsl In visit but perhaps settle here and establish
