What with their crazy mixedâ€"up ball game, last month, and the shinnaniâ€" gans involved; guys dressed up as dolls and vice versa . . . reâ€" {erees with broomsticks . . . bases being swiped . . . it was with some trepidation we reâ€" ceived their latest chronicle of happenings and here goes! ! Recently the Stalwarts of 1st Oakdale Acres began a weekend canoe trip. It‘s becoming an anâ€" nual (birthday?) event for these boys to have a skinny dip. but, Last week, Controller Irving Paisley delared that there are five subdivisions (and possibly many more) in various stages of developâ€" ment where homes are going up on Ravine lots. And, says Controller Paisley, a number of houses are being built dangerously close to the edge of the ravines making it possible for some of them to topple into the ravine in the event of an earth slippage. Board of Control he suggested, should ask the Works Committee and building commissioner to consider the desirability of ordering mandaâ€" tory soil tests on all questionable rayine lots where homes may be built. This newspaper agrees whole heartedly that North York should catalogue its ravines and carefully decide which ones are safe for buildâ€" ing and which ones are unsafe and therefore should <only be zoned green belt and parks. If, as Mr. Paisley proposes comâ€" pulsory ‘soil tests were required of all ravine lots where it may be unâ€" Compulsory Soil, Tests Ensure Safety By KAY NEAPOLE Illarcia Wac Shoppe ltarcio Wac Published at 2159 Weston Rd., Weston by Principal Publishing Ltd., every Thursday * + V.

(Guess Ed was rescued and is aha‘, there were some jokers in the crew, apparently a wellâ€" known triumvirate stole their clothes.

This proposal is as it should be, because the township has the qualified perâ€" sonnel to ensure that homes are built on safe and solid ground whereas the prospective homebuyer does not. _ Besides, . with ravine lots in North York selling at between $10,â€" 000 and $30,000, subdividors will alâ€" ways try to squeeze in as many exâ€" tra ravine lots as they possibly can without necessarily taking soil tests first to ensure that this land can safeâ€" ly carry the weight of a home. Ten ravine lots times a conservative sellâ€" ing price of $10,000 for instance amounts to $100,000 â€" which is big money in anyone‘s books especâ€" ially if it can be earned by building on the side of a steep hill. After several. restâ€"stops; on one, they accidentally landed on private property and were kindly asked to leave.

Instead, I‘m told that the one program ! am willing to pay for may not return on the air this Autumn. As a lax paying Canadian citizen and shareholder of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, it makes me a little sick to see the CBC run by a bunch of morons who seem capable of doing only one thing â€" spending money as if it is going out of style. When, each year, I invest tens of millions of dollars in the CBC, 1 sincerely hope and expect to see at least a few of the best TV programs money can buy. And why not? Apparently, a few of the CBC bosses in Ottawa dislike the producers and hosts of the show and will go to literally any length to see that they don‘t get on th: air again. For myslef, and millions of my fellow Canadians. it was a weekly ritual to switch on the Big Eye at 10 and then relax until 11, when I would sometimes turn it off and at other times leave it on to watch the Sunday evenâ€" Occasionally, the producers of This Hour Has Seven Days would overmilk a weak theme, and occasionally their program was downright antiâ€"social.
