Mr. Cowan felt the committee was stepping into an area that had little to do with Grade 13; also, that the committee should defer further studies until the Depart- ment of Education released its own findings on the matter. Trustee Ronald Leitch, chairman of the committee, pointed out that his committee was not studying the elimination of Grade 13 but rather a change from 13 to 12 grades which he felt must begin at the primary level. He also felt that there was little point in the committee submitting any thoughts on the matter until it had made a comprehensive study to "haek up" its suggestion.

Council unanimously rejected the proposal, put forward two weeks ago by Harold Hanna, after six members of the audience expressed loud opposition. Most strenuous in his remarks was James Pole-Langdon of l Sykes Avenue who after speaking to Council faced the audience and said, "As Taxpayers and voters it has been a long time since we have spoken. It is nearly two years before another election but if they (Council) pass this we will speak in language they understand." Council Rebukes Those Who Use Vote Threats Mayer Wes Boddington rebuked him and other members of the audience who said the Council members would lose votes by allowing the car lot to go ahead. "It is Couneil's duty to listen to both sides of the story and decide what is right," Mayor Boddington said. "It is not a democratic procedure to threaten a. duly elected Council with votes." 7 “I meant every word I said," snapped back Mr. Pole-Langdon from his seat in the audience. Re- gaining his feet, he continued, "We are forgotten people in the south and this Council lives for the north end. For the south end, it (Council) has been asleep for the past 10 years." Mr. Pole-Langdon took his seat amidst loud applause from the attending ratepayers. Councillor Wilbert Perry rejected his contention that nothing was ever done about the south end. He said as a resident of the south end himself he did not feel it was being neglected. When Mr. Hanna put his pro- posal for I car lot before Council at their meeting two weeks ago he was told the feeling of the rate- payers would have to be sought. Clerk G. H. Clarkson informed Council, that of the 38 people in- formed, 29 objected, 3 did not ob- ject and six did not reply. Carnival Bob Lawrence of Sykes Avenue acting as spokesman for the rate- payers in the area surrounding the property in question, 1674 Weston Road, said the residents felt strongly about it for health, safety and real estate reasons. "This type of business is usually carried on in the atmosphere of a carnival. We are not against progress," Mr. Lawrence emphasized, "hut we do not consider a used car lot pro- gress." Speaking in favor of his proposal Mr. Hanna said he could not under- stand what had happened to his rivil rights when there were car lots,operating all around his prnp- erty. “If someone can operate a car lot up the street, down the street and across the street where are my civil rights if I cannot operate a car lot at my location?" he asked. Deterioration Mr. Hanna said he could not deteriorate the area any more than its present condition. "lf you folks are anxious about deterioration, you should get after the people that are already living there. I couldn't deteriorate the place or some of the others around there. You folks take up delegations to prevent good industry. In my opinion you don't live in a resi- dential area." When he started to describe the changes he planned to implement to improve the lot he was met with noisy opposition from the crowd. th It "That's what interrupted I audience.

The PC candidate in the federal riding of York-Humber told the gathering, "The Ontario Government ought to cooperate with the Federal Government to ensure that the Indians of this Province are given opportunity for progress and devel- opment equal to that afforded to the other citizens. I would evm go so far as to say that perhaps the Indian problem is I Provincial matter and that the authority be Give Indians To Ontario h First In Nursing Schools For Humber Mem. The first of what may be several new types of large nursing schools in Metro and throughout Ontario is scheduled for early construction on property in North York owned by Humber Memorial Hospital, adjac- ent to that Hospital. The cost of the nursing education centre will be met entirely by the Provincial Government. It is expected to en- roll the first class in the autumn of 1966. The school, which will accommo- date 100 students in each of two years of the new type educational programme. will be a non-residem- tial, day school. It is believed this is the first educational program for registered nurses of this type with students proceeding direct from Grade XII to this junior col- lege type of institution. (The Quo Vadis School of Nursing, operated by St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto, offers a daytime program primar- ily geared to mature women). Location of the school is in the heavily populated, residential Jane- Lawrem-e area, close to the many secondary schools in Etobicoke, North York, York and Weston. The school will offer a straight, two-year, academic eduea,tional program, on I nine-to-five, five- days-a-week basis, and ltudenu will be transported to the partici- pating hospitals in the noxthwest periphery of Toronto for clinicial demonstrations Ind rel-ted experi- ence.

Metro Roads Commissioner Ross Grant appeared before Weston Council on Monday night to answer questions on the project. Mr. Grant stated that if access to Jane Street was allowed 1 dangerous situation would occur with the streets almost coming out on the ramp allowing cars southbound on 400 to merge with Jane Street traffic south- bound. In reply to a question posed by a merchant in the area, Mr. Grant stated that it was not possible to chmge the position of the ramp IS transferred to the Provinces to deal with it. As I see it, the Provinces are better equipped to deal with problems such as housing, welfare and education." Over 200,000 Indian Canadians, he said. the descendants of our original inhabitants, live outside the main stream of their native country. They are deprived of the social justice, human dignity and the equality of opportunity which other 20th,centurs Canadians claim as their right and heritage. He said that in a recent article they were described as "the human raccoons of the muskeg". Four Indians in a photograph were shown rummaging through a garbage dump at Moosonee in hunt for food at 24 below weather in a biting wind. "In many parts of Canada, Indians are pant up in slums reminiscent of the most backward parts of the world," Mr. Colebourn said. “Treaties made 100 years or more ago assumed that the native in- habitants of this land would continue to follow their traditional mode of living, hunting, fishing and trapping. Blocks of land were set aside to both perpetuate and protect their way of life. Unfortunately, it also separated them from the main stream of economic and social progress," he stated. "The old happy hunting days are almost a memory. Trapping has become increasingly profitless." As a racial minority they are separated from us and each band has language differences and vast stretches of country, he said.

During con- struction the traffic will be divert- ed on to Church Street. Building permits for Weston for April were valued at $44,100, up $3,860 over the same month last year. The number of permits issued, however, dropped from 23 to 11. "Isolated by the reserve system the concepts of modern industry and development have passed them by. The white man's education offered they have not been understood by their white brothers and sisters and never fully accepted. “There has been little change in the culture and social life of the Indian people over the year- pnrticularly in the northern region. Consequently, they are ill equipped to integrate with the other elements of the Canadian community." "The economic base of their natural way of life has disintegrated. Reserves no longer provide sufficient game. furs, to sustain the rapidly growing population-nor is it pos- sible to move on to more productive areas as they did centuries Ago. Where token help has hem given to these people to build other industries it falls far short of the assistance which is in the power of the Federal and Provincial Governments and municipalities to trive," he continued. "The Ontario Government ought tn move as quickly as possible to ensure that the Indian communities both on and off reserves receive the services that are normally provided'; to municipalities, that is economic! development, education, recreation,; adult education, health, welfare gndl housing," Mr. Coleboum advocated.‘ "in encouraging this larger role for the Province I m not ad- vocating any change in the status and rights that Indians hold under Building Up Over '65 Association For Combat Suggests Ex-Councillor Larry Stevenson.
