THE BRA WED MAY 1970 VOL 119 NO 20 Editorials Pollution fight rers We agree with Mayor Tom Surgeoner when he says students who have launched a fight against pollution in the area are to be commended Newmarket students at both the high school and elementary school levels have selected targets close to home for their protests Students from Notre Dame school have chosen to focus public attention on the trashladen corners of our town the creeks with shopping buggies in them the empty lots laden with garbage the littered parks and boulevards the lack of trash receptacles in our downtown area The high school students have made water pollution their mam target and when they are through they plan to donate two white swans to the conservation authority for Fairy Lake We wish both projects success Amalgamation why The need for more recreational facilities is the r East Gwillimbury and Newmarket should amalgamate There are other reasons but the recreational especially the artificial ice area aspect need is foremost Under Municipal Affairs Minister McKeoughs design for York regional government Newmarkets boundaries would extend as far as the Green Lane into East Township This area takes in East Heights and other sub divisions lying immediately north of Davis Dr about per cent of the townships population or some 1000 people With this added residents on Jan 1 Newmarkets arena facilities will be hopelessly strained The problem of an overcrowded arena can be solved with total amalgamation East Gwillimbury Township has already received preliminary provincial government approval for an arena on its own Tenders for its construction have been approved and completion of the building at its Sharon site can be made sometime in October of this year if the township receives Ontario Municipal Hoard approal This is not likely to be forthcoming unless there is total WUhout total amalgamation this leaves Newmarket with an overcrowded arena the remainder of East without a place to play hockey and recreational chaos With total amalgamation Newmarket will have two arenas one brand new the Rogers Reservoir for boating picnicking and as well as almost the entire length of the Holland River for future recreational development Well something like that THE Readers ERA J To the Citizens of East Township If you are opposed to the expropriation of part of East limbury by the

Associa tion of Ontario Mayors and Reeves Without debate the association wholeheartedly endorsed a resolution calling for tighter cen sorship of films theatre productions magazines and books The
