He noted that the single fare would not be of benefit to the township in view of the greater cost to the taxpayer and doubts whethâ€" er the average taxpayer uses the TTC that much. Councillor Joseph Gould was successful in his bid to have Council defer its approval for the closing of Woodward Avenue and Pelmo Crescent.

Open Display Tempts Impulse Market Place... by Dorothy Vander Does tempting merchandise displayed to encourage "impulse buying" also make it easier for ‘"impulse shoplifting" as well? Who is mainly responsible for this problem and what steps are being taken to combat this state of affairs? To obain answers to these and other queéstions, The Times interviewed George R. Sweeny, Judge of the Juvenile and Family Court of York Counâ€" ty and Raiph S. Boot, Inspector of Weston‘s Youth Bureau and other authorities who have had dealings with this problem. According to a recent report prepared by Judge Sweeny, cusâ€" tomers at selfâ€"service shopping centers usually spend "10% to 20°% over their original shopping list". He goes on ‘"The market place draws people to it like a magnet, some to shop, some to APPLICANT VOWS TO RETURN TO OMB WITHIN THREE MONTHS Application on behalf of Cherâ€" rylawn Investments Limited for rezoning the northâ€"east corner of Weston _ Road â€" and _ Cuhrch Street was dismissed last week in a hearing before the Ontario Muâ€" nicipal Board because of insufâ€" ficient evidence. The applicants were seeking io haveâ€"the land reâ€" zoned to commercial to permit the erection of an IGA superâ€" market. The interrogation before H. E. Roberts and R. L. Kennedy, viceâ€"chairman of the OBM reâ€" vealed that not enough evidence was given on behalf of Cherryâ€" lawn Investments Limited and that proper application should be submitted to council in accorâ€" dance with regulations set forth in the Planning Act: After lengthy questioning of Mr. Sidney, real estate agent by Lawrence Arnold, lawyer for the investment firm, on the present property and buildings surroundâ€" ing the area in question, Mr. Roâ€" berts interjected that the "eviâ€" dence must be much more speâ€" cific if it is to be of:â€"any value to uis." The original application as hanâ€" dled by Mr. Arnold at the beginâ€" ning of the year, was on behalf of Orlando Building Company and was drawn up under the name of Orwell company. This applicaâ€" tion had been rejected by the town of Weston‘s Planning Board as well as the council. A lease had been made up but not executed on behalf of Oshâ€" awa wholesalers, the owners. Praise _ for good _ results achieved in Grade 13 exams was extended to ail those conâ€" cerned by the North York Board of Education. Since this was the basis of the present dismissal of the case from the Ontario Municipal Boâ€" ard, Mr. Arnold stated that he plans to submit an application to Weston Planning Board and Council all over again so that the Cherrylawn application is indisâ€" putable before he will again reâ€" submit it to the Municipal Board in about three months time. Acting Director of Education, David L. Tough, Superintendent of Secondary Schools, in the absence of Dr. Minkler, reportâ€" ed a slight drop of four to 140 Ontario scholars this year, from 144 last year. MacKenzie â€" King â€" Collegiate students took first position with 34 Ontario scholars. As an enâ€" tirety, North York schools led in exam results over all other municipalities throughout Onâ€" tario, with a high 87 percentage of papers passed for all written. Changes to be introduced next year will be the marking of Biology and Zoology as a single paper, with the class room teacher assigning 35% of the student‘s marks. Trustee Sidney Moscoe comâ€" mented it was an improvement to see the press paying attenâ€" tion to some of the good schoâ€" (Contmued on page 5) Praise Given To Grade 13 Parents WESTON, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1965 browse and some to steal.

And to Police it has become a problem." ‘In relating the problem to the areas of Metro, Peel, York, Onâ€" tario counties, and the city ‘of Oshawa, Judge Sweeny contends that juveniles tend to congregate and loiter about the centres after school and on Saturdays during the peak shopping periods. The merchants, who are aware of this, try to cope with the sitâ€" vation by more alert inâ€"store supervision. In he "Discount" .Second Of A Series.
