(Calm on Photo by Alexandra U) Mayor Forms Committee h Study Report At a meeting called tor last Wednesday evening, Council voted to strike a committee to study the recommendations and implications as outlined in the Goldenberg Royal Commission report on Metropolitan Toronto. As one observer put it, it was like someone getting angry and saying they were off to see their lawyer. The committee was proposed by Mayor Wesley Boddington and it has been left in his hands. He will decide how many members will serve on the committee and who they will At the present time Mr. Boddington and Councillor Lloyd Sainsbury are attending the annual meeting of the On- tario Association of Mayors and Reeves being held this year in Kitchener. The North York Reeve said there was a difference between development and redestlop- ment. He hinted that if Weston had vast open spaces North York would most likely take an active interest in Weston's affairs. Councillor Jim Trimbee said the planning of the Committee was being worked on In Kitch- ener. Mr. Trimbee said the work of the ‘committee would be to "study it (the Goldenberg re- port) and see if we can make recommendations." He also stated the committee would most likely meet within a week to start its work. North York will not be inter- fering with Westort's planning. Reeve James Service said in an interview with the Times. He said he was confident that the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board would pick up any mat- ters that Weston missed. "We'11 wait until the Golden. berg report has been 11.ple- mertted," he said. l _ Reed, Service expressed the hope that Weston would form a core for the south-west section Education Recommendations Will lead To Buck Passing The recommendations regard-i which is responsive totthe cul- ing education " outlined in the! tural and social background of Goldenberg Royal Commission! the local community (Le. boards report on Metropolitan Toronto! of education for each city) this are conducive to "buebpassing" would have much to recommend the North York Secondary it _ economic uniformity. free- School Teacher' Federation has dom from the straight-jackets declared. imposed by bigness, freedom In a special release the organ- from the buck - passing of the nation states that the ioeai present recommendations and boards would have no means of responsiveness to the local e0ttt- executing their decisions while munity.

"The Federal Government could provide the field force for such needs," he said. Weston Collegiate library fats ilities will not only be doubled in size by September but will also include the latest in audio- visual aids. These are the single concept films and cartels rec- ommended by Ian Hose, co-or- dinator of Teaching Aids for the Weston Board of Education. A carrel is a booth which pro- vides a student with work space and visual isolation where he can make use of a tape player, closed circuit television, or a teaching machine linked to a computer. The single concept film idea simplifies technical handling of films and provides individual schools In opportun- ity to build tip a film library at‘ reasonable cost: thus elim- inating a teaeher's dependency on the Provincial Library.
