In a decumentary pregram on T.B.A. last week, Mr. Ed McGibbon, whe usually reâ€" searches his subjects very well allowed a flash on the first of two programs that really libelâ€" led this Weston of ours. All there was on the screen in large letters was ‘‘Teenager Rowdyism in Weston.‘" After the program ended ! contacted the C.B.C. and it was ascertained that it was a taped program. However the gentleman in charge of the script listened to my comâ€" plaint that living by the park Dear Sir: Now that the July 1 centennial celebrations are over, we may pause and reflect on what kind of future we want to make for ourselves. We have patted each other on the back and boasted about a century of "growth and progress." North York, York and Weston were only three of thousands of Canadian communities to celebrate Canada‘s 100th birthday in a glorisu way and they should be commended for doing so. Unfortunately, celebrations, no matter how noble, do not help much in solving the social ills and economic depressions so many of our fellow citiâ€" ens are forced to accept. & Basic problems include a very seriâ€" ous ho using shortage, rising food costs, taxes and rents, working moâ€" thers with no one to look after their youngsters, overcrowded hospitals, inâ€" adequate public transportation faciliâ€" ties, slums. pollution, the automobile explosion and so on. York‘s decision to label a North York resolution calling for a ban of apartment incinerators "premature", is a step in the wrong direction. _ During a period when most enlightâ€" ened people support measures to reâ€" duce the menace of air pollution, those who refuse to join the fight are in fact helping its cause. Since WWII, with the growth of industry, new subdivisions and the automobile explosion, the dome of air above Metropolitan Toronto has beâ€" come a vast garbage dump for the byâ€" products of combustion. _ _ _ When atmospheric conditions are calm or when there is a temperature inversion, millions of cubic feet of BA., QC., Barrister â€" Solicitor Notary Public Evenings by appointment 1938 Weston Rd.

During the past century, and more so during the past 20 years, Canada has become a master of technology. In Metropolitan Toronto, we build suâ€" per expressways and super skyscrapâ€" ers. Now that we are 100 years old. it is time to solve our fundamental soâ€" cial problems. We have the knowhow, capital and labor here to build decent housing for everyone and the techâ€" nical skills to solve all other problems. these contaminants are trapped. This filth mixes with the air and becomes the substance that every man, woman and child has to inhale. We must now devise ways to smash through the wall of prejudice and poverty into the world where all people have the opportunity to earn a decent living in a clean city or a beauâ€" tiful countryside. There are two more reasons why a progressive alderman would want to ban garbage burning apartment inâ€" cinerators. (1) They emit tiny parâ€" ticles of soot and debris which falls on anything and everything miles around; (2) The stench makes life unbearable for all who live within smelling distance. _ Sure it costs a little more to haul off garbage than it does cinders; but, it also makes urban living a little more pleasant and a good deal healâ€" thier. six years on Metro School Board and 16 on the Weston Board working . for Weston youth, 1 resented the fact that Etobicoke, which always made it very clear educationâ€"wise that it is vastly superior to Weston, was being let off the hook so to speak in that they don‘t even possess such trouâ€" bled youth. 1 hope that the public in Weston and its elected repreâ€" sentatives will offer support in removing the C.B.C.‘s smear on Weston.

J. Harry Frogley, manager There are few departments of the federal government that receive more deserving criticism than the departâ€" ment of immigration. There is probably no department in the federal government as brutal, shortsighted, and so totally devoid of human feelings. * We know the answer.

Cowan is the MP for York Humâ€" ber who insistently rose in the House of Commons and appealed to the minâ€" ister of immigration to let Nikolaos Sistanis remain here.

Purdue, principal of Ledâ€" bury Park junior high school since 1963, was promoted to the position of inspector by North York Board of. Education on May 29. His duties commence August 21.

During the shortâ€"lived Arabâ€"Israeli war, a beautiful ship berthed at the foot of Bay and Front Streets. Even though she could spell instant‘death to a great city, when I first spotted her at 11 o‘clock one night when pulling off the Gardner Expressway at Bay, it was a case of instant love. Others must have been awed too, because many of us pulled our cars over to the curb on Front St. and walked down to the waterfront to study ber hull, superstructure and armaments. Under the glow of spotlights she looked like a jewel.~ Two rocket launchers sit on her stern and according to one sailor, she has enough armaments to sink a battleship. She travels up to 40 knots (almost 50 mph) and apparently eats so much an oil tanker follows her wherever she goes. \ _ The HMS Hampshire is a 6,500 ton destroyer, who at the time was on a Great Lakes goodwill tour. While many would argue that her main purpose is to maintain world peace and to defend Great Britain and allied nations, it is my contention that her chief function is to deâ€" stroy (Why else would they call her a destroyer?) She has a useful function in war; she was built and armed for war. For peace she serves no purpose at all. All of these thoughts were going through my mind as I studied her sleek lines and her radar and antiâ€"aircraft sysâ€" tems. Then it suddenly occured to me that the HMS Hampâ€" shire could serve England and the world in a far more pracâ€" tical and humane manner than she does by practising naval manoeuvres and patiently waiting for the day a war begins. The thought that struck me was to put her to a peaceful use. Replace her gunners with doctors and radar technicians with teachers. Donate her and her crews to the International Red Cross or the United Nations. Tear the armaments off her decks and out of her hull and use all the space thereby created to carry food to the hungry and construction machinery to build schools in unâ€" educated corners of the world. Very few people, I‘m willing to wager, other than those in the military, have ever heard of the HMS Hampshire. As a mercy ship, offering medical help to war victims in Viet Nam and food to the starving in India, her name and fame would spread throughout the world. This raises another point. Why let England beat us to the punch? I think we should convert Canada‘s small navy into a peace serving flotilla. Someone has to demonstrate to the world, in act as well as by word, that the world wants peace. This "someone" could be Canada. Principal N. G.
