In Markham residential lots Whitchurch Township ha-s a similar bylaw in effect. which appears to have operated well for some years. Seeking to control building on lots of 10 to 25 acres, in July last year. the township received OMB approval restricting build- ing on lots betWeen 10 and 25 acres. Each application is now decided on its merits. Any‘ three or more lots constitute a‘ subdivision and the developer must secure a sudbivision‘ agreement with the township. Several years ago King pas- sed a bylaw restricting sever- ances under 10 acres. but the Ontario Planning Act permitted [and separations of 10 acres and more without municipal approv- al. In King Township, it was re- ported last July by County Planner Conroy Dowson that there were in existance 568 lots between 10 and 25 acres in size, 347 of these had not yet been built upon. Most of these, he said, were on poorly developed sideroads, and some had a frontage of 66 feet with a depth of 3,300 feet. In many cases the front of the lot where1 the house was built would be well cared for. but the back‘ acreage would be left to grow up in weeds. This type of de-' velopment proved expensive to serve with roads, fire and police protection and school buses. etc. Division of farm lands into acres, 10 acres and 25 acres al‘e‘acres small acreages for residential’permitted by the official plan pal a development has been a serious'and zoning bylaw.

This was simply not the case. Of the fifteen seniors and three young Liberals seeking election as delegates to the April leadership convention only two publicly an- nounced any real preference for a new leader. One was for Mr. Trud- eau and the other supported Mitchell The story was inaccurate in the impression it gave the Globe’s read- ers. and the heading of the story was particularly misleading â€"â€"- “Man Who Wasn’t There Had Most In- fluence.” Liberals attending the February 15 founding meeting of the newly organized York North Federal Lib- eral Association must have been somewhat dismayed when they read the account of it in Toronto’s morning newspaper. After seeing the story in the February 16 issue of the Globe and Mail, one would wonder if the Globe’s reporter and the delegates had actually attended the same meeting. 2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Feb. 22, 1963 Now the branch is embarking on a much more ambitious program â€"â€" the provision of a much needed res- idential treatment centre for dis- turbed children. Much of the fine work done by our mental health clinics, psychiatric out-patient deâ€" partments and school psychological services in spotting and diagnosing cases of emotional disturbance is brought to naught because once As well as the long-standing pro- grams of visiting of mental patients and seeing that all mental patients in the county receive Christmas gifts, for the past two summers the branch has operated a summer camp where emotionally disturbed children can be closely observed and studied, free of their usual environment, by skilled workers. The indefatigable members of this organization -â€" which has only one paid employee â€"â€" last year raised $15,872.31 in York County. While a third of this went to research and and support of the provincial and national offices of the association. the balance, and all of last year’s county grant of $2.000, was spent right here in York County. The CMHA is a non-profit organ- ization, entirely dependent on volun- tary contributions and in our opinion, performs many important services to the community. We doubt that county council could find a more worthwhile place to invest the tax- payers’ dollars. At the beginning of this month, York County Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association made a presentation to York County Council asking for a grant of $3,000 to assist the branch to continue its work in the county for another year.

If many news reports are as inaccur- ate as the Globe’s coverage of the York North meeting, then the Can- adian people are not going to get a true picture of the events leading up to the April voting in Ottawa. The newly-elected president of the association, who is also a delegate, is a Hellyer supporter and one of the alternates is a supporter of Allan MacEachen. Among the six delegates and three alternates, hopefuls Mar- tin, Hellyer, Turner and MacEachen all have varying degrees of support. Sharp. Neither was elected either as a delegate or an alternate.

It all boils down to a question of values and who would dare to value a convention trip more highly than the saving of the emotional health of even one unhappy child? The $3.000 asked from the county is a small sum and could easily be accommodated in this year’s budget. For instance, it is the custom to set aside $500 for each county councillor to attend conventions or conferences during the year. Few would deny that these expensive junkets are often of dubious value to say the least and if the amount per coun- cillor were reduced by $120, the $3,000 asked by the CMHA could be more than realized. We would suggest both to the Lions and to York County Council that any sums they devote to this project will pay handsome dividends, to the children themselves, to their parents and to the community at large. In making their presentation to the county, the branch advised that the Lions Clubs of District A7 have also shown interest in assisting this project. With a local treatment centre, children could maintain close contact with their parents and their own community, making eventual re- establishment in the community that much easier. Then too, after months and even years of waiting during which time his condition inevitably worsens, a child could be sent to a treatment centre remote from his own comâ€" munity which hampers the needed rebuilding of the family unit. identified. there is nowhere to send the problem children for treatment. Burlington's efforts to insti- tute frontage controls have been ineffective and its plan- ning department now is study- ing new frontage regulations. Reeve Gordon Gallagher. committee chairman, reported that many areas are pressing the province for repeal of this section. Since then Finance Minis- ter Mitchell Sharp has clamped his five per cent sur- charge on already wickedly high income tax rates. com- pelling the taxpayer. as al- ways happens. to cover the bill for the government's own extravagance. Bank of Canada Governor Louis Rasminsky had joined Chairman John Deutch of the government's own eco- nomic council in the warning that if the recklem pace of federal spending continued unchecked. the national eco- nomy could be destroyed. That just about made it una- nimous, with all the financial experts. public and private. agreed that ever - increasing federal spending would bankrupt the nation. and shore up credit. its slipping Shucks, what‘s $218,946? Who cares? Well. among others. New B r Ll n swick‘s construction workers should care.

One of them was payment for the Royal Commission on the status of women, sitting then for only 15 days. $218,946. This seems evidence that not everyone quite believed the prime minister’s oath of emergency economy. Meanwhile, the value. the true worth of the dollar has been dicey, not just here at home where the inflated dol- lar has bought less and less, but dicey on the interna- tional money markets. Even when 20 women and wrote a book declaring marriage to be a relic of barbarism and has no place in modern life, the Journal was not convinced. OLD-FASHIONED . We’re really not old-fashioned today are we? The 1912 Journal editor said, “We’ve really tried to convince ourselves that women are happier when they’re not married.” Yet their readers tried to set the record straight by saying, “the number of children should be regulated by the number of dollars.” “The real place for a woman’s develop- ment_was the world, not the home.” I won’t disagree with that, but it seems that a lot of motherhood today brings to mind “population explosion”, “abortion”, “desertion”, “divorce”, “working mothers”. “battered child syndrome”, “premarital sex” and “feminine mystique.” ~__‘lv.- I’m just wondering if thei'eflaras an‘s-I of that going on in 1912. It is the woman who stays home with her children, who responsibly cares for and trains them to be good citizens. They are the real creative artists. The Journal says; “Of course it’s great for women to have a career but not as important as motherhood.” THE WOMEN WHO COUNT If you think it is you who counts, lady politic- ian, .writer, painter, business executive, nurse or school teacher, you’re dead wrong. Two large pages are given over in this partic- ular Journal to encourage sweetness and light. The following paragraphs can give you only a hint but you can see the 1912 mentality is a far cry from that of 1968. Plenty of inhibitions were in style for women in 1912. Magazines and newspapers cater a great deal to feminine interest today, but it’s nothing to what a 1912 Ladies Homé Journal had in store for the female sex. The entire magazine seemed given over to a special task of advising, admonishing, correcting and suggesting better ways of female behaviour. It’s full of that feminine mystique that Betty Freidan loves to talk about.

These are the elderly who have only their pensions, with no other income, so don’t draw enough to be liable for tax. So what? Again. does any- body care about $37,694.40? Well. the non-taxable old age pensioners living in Prince George, B.C. perhaps care.

Toronto’s entertainment scene began bordering on the obscene last week with the opening at The Friars of a Topless All Girl Band. Reviewers were somewhat divided over the band-members’ musician- ship but were very much in agreement that they were indeed ALL girls.
