It has however, been assumed for all pracâ€" tical purposes to be a resiâ€" dential zone, he added.

The trustees were not satisfied howâ€" ever and insisted on conmsent forms being sent out to parents. These will give the schools the authority to act if a ‘parent ca> not be contacted. Dr. Minkler drew the Board‘s attention to the fact that some parents object to treatment on religious grounds, but Trustee Mary Mahon said that she failed to see why the rest of the chilâ€" dren should suffer. ‘‘They have been trained in first aid," the Director, Dr. F. W. Minkler, explained, "and they have the authority to take a perâ€" son to a doctor or hospital." Trusteee Peter Tacon disâ€" agreed with the Director‘s reâ€" commendation stating that he still did not feel it was the ansâ€" wer.

"I strongly opposed all construcâ€" tion which might ‘hinder what seemed to be essential defence requirements in those_days. But there was no Federal authority capable or willing to stand up for its apparently unknown safety requirements.

And when the stop came to construcâ€" tion, it was already far too late, for at least 100,000 persons were by then established in an area which should have been termed a danger zone." SUITABLE FOR INDUSTRY The Controller also states: "Threeâ€"quarters of the airâ€" port‘s acreage is suitable for industrial development, whose total estimated assessment, for land â€" only, _ fully _ developed, would be between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000.

I ask, facility for whom? The pubâ€" lic can‘t even drive a car through it. The public can‘t land an aircraft on it. But the Pubâ€" lic are paying the shot and will continue to do so while the Federal authorities continue to treat the land like a "sacred cow". Mr. Paisley argues that, as far back as 1955 the Board of Air Transport‘s Director of Air Services stated that "any strucâ€" ture within a circle of 13,000 feet from a point near the midâ€" dle of the airport is considered within the danger zone", and Mr. Paisley said he would pursue the matter at both the Federal and Metro levels through the townâ€" ship Council. He said he felt there was a fair amount of support from his fellow councillors, especially those in the western part of the township. He said he was also confident of support from James Walker the Liberal MP for York Centre. Alâ€" though Mr. Paisley said he would seek support for his motion on both the economic and safety aspect he indicated that Mr. Walker extended his sympathies mostly with regard to the economic viewpoint. thatâ€"in â€"the~Unitedâ€" > danger zone was considéred to extend for 2 miles beyond a halfâ€"mile cleared airport area.

In‘a letter to Council, J. C. Griffin said there had not only been a rash of minor accidents but several major ones too, the latest taking place on July 7.

The Reeve finally won approâ€" val for his proposal after Conâ€" troller Irving Paisley who sugâ€" gested that perhaps the Reeve‘s recent decision to get rid of his chauffeur was influenced by the fact that he wanted heliâ€" copters instead.

Controller Gordon Hurlburt was in favor of the usefullness of a helicopter from the planâ€" ning, traffic and sanitary surâ€" vey points of view. it was not necessary for the township to put a helicopter on standby service.
