YOL AS PART of the good neighbor policy practiced in the Scouting movement, and in Weston, Patrol Leader Louis Beauparlant, of Laval, Quebec, LEFT, gets a solid leftâ€"hand (scoutingâ€"style) The first giant steps towards group homes for foster children in North York Township were taken this week when North York planning board unanimousâ€" Iy supported a Catholie Chilâ€" dren‘s Aid Society application to establish the community‘s first group home on Finch Avenue. A group home houses up to six children in one home with their foster parents. Sometimes the children are from one family, and the chilâ€" dren‘s aid decides not to sepâ€" srate the brothers and sisters by sending them to separate foster homes. More often they are children ‘who adjust better as a group than as separate tcster _ children â€" in â€" individual homes. At present, group homes are not permitted in single family areas in North York Township. James B. Dods of Orangeâ€" ville, governor of the Rotary district of the area. addressed the Westonâ€"Mt.

Closing Hurts Says York‘s Howard York Township is not happy with its early closing bylaw for siores. The bylaw, first introduced in 1943, closes stores at 10 p.m. Deputy Reeve Fred Howard says shoppers are going into neighâ€" boring municipalities w here stores stay open to later hours, instead of spending in York. This week a news item apâ€" peared in the daily newspapers that would lead one to believe that York Township has taken over the building inspection of present . structures under conâ€" struction in the Town of Weston. Not True! Inspection is still carâ€" ried out under the jurisdiction of the Town of Weston‘s buildâ€" ing inspector, Frank Lowthian. However, due to the sudden death of William Dicks, one month ago who was Mr. Lowthâ€" ian‘s assistant, a York Township man has been loaned to Weston on a part time basis to carry out the inspection during the Deak summer construction perâ€" iod. This week, Mayor Wes Bodâ€" dington suggested zn expropriaâ€" tion scheme and redevelopment of King George Rd., which runs rorth of Church St. at the C.N. R. tracks curving into Coulter Avenue. At the present time there is one parcel of land alâ€" most two acres on the east side of King George Rd., that is completely vacant since buildâ€" ings were recently torn down. The property in the name of Carl Austin and Co., but in the hands of Steve Polen for develâ€" opment, was â€" quashed . about four months ago by the Municiâ€" pal Board due to lack of parking for an apartment development and the fact that it bordered right on‘o the C.N.R. tracks, Buyer Beware NY Bureau Now the land is available for redevelopment, but is squeezed between King George Rd. and the tracks.

Mr. Blustein‘s attempts to speak to council, during a deâ€" bate of the District 12A Plan for future development of the northeast sector of the townâ€" ship, were consistently ruled out of order by Reeve James Service. Mr. Service insisted if council listened to Mr. Blustein, it would be obligated to listen fo cvery land developer within the district planning area. "I demand to be heard. 1 will be Blustein. Reeve Service said again: "You are out of order. I adâ€" journ this meeting of council for 10 minutes." As the councillors left the chambers Mr. Blustein continâ€" ued his tirade, accusing the council of discrimination and injustice in granting approval of a subdvision to the south of his property (Neighborhood Deâ€" velopments) while refusing his «pplication for development of Garyville Park. He said council and the Planâ€" ning Board are guilty of ‘"irreguâ€" larities," in dealing with applicaâ€" tions within the District 12A Plan, and the Plan itself. He said he had been otfered; £75,000 for a sewer. easement | by adjacent property owners,| but chose instead to give an | easement to the Township of| North York for sanitary andl storm sewers for the sum of | $1.00. l Six year old Jurgen Pohl, of 3300 Weston Road, Weston, Ont., Canada, is shown on the of the Hamburgâ€"Atlantic Line‘s Luxury "TS, Hanse Atic‘, upon his arrival in New, â€" Harâ€" bor from a three month visit with his grandfather in West Berlin, Germany Weston, Ont., tot Home from Visit in G-_-y j heard," shouted Mr. ORDER $1.00 \lellll.(;:.'t." of m; ence.

"JUSTICE*" When Council returned, Mr. Blustein was still pleading for "justice" in dealing with the application. When he refused to stop talking, Reeve Service the verbal attack which. accus cd the planning director of diâ€" recting "harassment and threats": against him; singling him out as a target of antagoâ€" nism, and of "warning me that if I did not grant an easement to the township, he would have to problem in destroying a man of my reputation." He accused Reeve Service of being involved. in an apparent cordance with the law. CONFLICT "With an interest in 12A land, he is in a position to inâ€" fluénce decisions in his favor. A municipal official should not only take great care that his own interests do not conflict with those of the municipality, he should not appear to his constituents to have ‘a conflict of interest. In fairness to the citizens of North York, to high standards of integrity and to the spirit of his own code of ethics, Mr. Service should not be sitting in the chair during
