Gould, who thinks tennis is one of the world‘s finest sports, says that the Mapie Leaf club under the stewardship of Mrs. Peg Grant, and ‘he Cornelius Parkway _ and Weston _ tennis clubs are well organized and could field teams to compete with other clubs. "This would spark a great interest among temnis players to join clubs and improve," the councilior sugâ€" sent, predicts Ward 2 Coun cillor Joe Gould.

In the Metro area Italians ! form the second largest group of citizens with 18 perâ€" | cent of the York population being Italian in origin. ‘ What happened to some of the Metro Council of 1958; For example; Ford Brand became a TTC comâ€" | missioner. York Township Reeve Chris Tonks became |\ embroiled in a civic investigation. North York Reeve 1\"ernon Singer jwent on to the Ontario Legislature. Weston Mayor Harry Clark has since died. Two city aldermen went on to become mayor of Toronto, Philip Givens and Donald Summerville. In the early years after the dust had settled from the Second World War, the majority of post war immiâ€" grants to Canada who arrived in the Toronto area settled in the big city. It took some time to discover the suburbs. Metro statistics indicate that upwards of one perâ€" cent of York Township‘s populatizon is Russian in oriâ€" gin. North York has a slightly higher proportion of Russian origin population. The highest proportion of citizens, other than from the British Isles, for Weston come from Holland. Today, according to Metro statistics 31 percent of the York Township population and 15 percent of the Weston population were originally immigrants to the nation and the Metro area. For North York it is about 20 percent. More residents over the age of 70 are found in North York than in any other Metro suburb. The total exâ€" ceeds 8,000. York Township has more over age 70 resâ€" idents than Etobicoke but both are several thousand below the North York mark. North York has the largâ€" est suburban fire department and York Township the fifth largest. Only five members of the 1958 Metro Council are today members of the 1966 Metro Council. Only two are from the suburbs, one a mayor and the other a reeve. Only one of the five transit commissioners of 1958 remains, he is viceâ€"chairman Charles Walton. Only six of the 14 Metre government department heads of 1958 are in office today. Only two of the five Metro police commissioners remain in office toâ€" day. Only three members of the 23 member Metro planning board of 1958 are still serving on the planâ€" ning board. There are over 8,000 acres of Metro and local park land in the Metro area. North York has over 1,300 acres of Metro park land and 430 acres of local neighâ€" borhood parks. Etobicoke has more local park land, about 600 acres, than North York but less Metro park land. York Township is one of the four Metro municipâ€" alities that lacks any Metro park land although Metro has promised to provide 13 acres to replace that amount taken for the Spadina expressway project. Weston has over 40 acres of local and 85 acres of Metro park land. York Township will spend $86,000 on new vehicles for the works department including a snow blower, street sweeper, two garbage packers and five 5 ton trucks all of which will be in line with expanded operâ€" ations as a borough. Metro will pay a $1,500 legal bill to defend two police officers from an assault charge. The officers were found not guilty. Metro has received 25 applications for the job of housing commissioner, a new post and 16 applications for the job of welware commissioner which vacancy results from the retirement of the present commissionâ€" er. Metro decided not to advertise the jobs in the A recently retired Etobicoke mn’istnu has applied * to Metro for a aurnnnntion allowance.
