e p ‘ t ©O""itchen SECOND SECTION Metro Planners Busy ‘ A standard zoning code for use of the Metro municipalities is only one of a number of key projects being undertaken in 1967 by the Metropolitan Toronto municipal planning staff. While zoning bylaws are recâ€" ognized by Metro planners as the responsibility of the city and the boroughs, it is felt that standarâ€" dized definitions of zoning cateâ€" gories would help both private and public interests throughout the 240â€"square mile Metro federâ€" ation. Other projects planned by the Metro planning staff this year inâ€"| elude a public housing needs study and detailed consideration‘ of the Metro official land use plan as a development control instrument. This could involve amendment of the existing proâ€" vincial planning legislation.

After he had finished the preacher came to the front and said to the people, "I am not going into any lengthy discourse. I have walked a long way and I am very tired. I am just going to tell you a story. Sometime ago I saw a man in difficulty on a river. He was in danger of being swept over a waterfall and was calling on God to save him and to have merey on his soul. I was able to bring him to shore. He was the man who now stands before you."

One person may be able to help to develop one natural area for science and natural history in one grade school, but no one can change the concepts of humanity overnight.

People can talk themselves goggleâ€"eyed over the enormity of the problem &nd not accomplish much more than a case of ulcers. The Federation of Ontario Naâ€" turalists believes we need to tackle the problem from both ends â€" the big end which is conâ€" servation education and the little end which is doing what we can to protect our own natural world, right here in Ontario.
