He has had more than 14 years‘ experience in sales and management and twoâ€"andâ€"oneâ€"half years‘ civic and municipal administration with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Mr. Powell said he wants more effective methods of communication among council, board of education and the taxpayers. Their son, Dean, 11, and daughter, Susan, 9, attend Wedgewood Public School in Ward 3 and therefore Mr. Powell has a real vested interest in improving the perâ€" formance of the school board. Mr. Powell coached minor hockey in Toronto and Montreal for 11 years with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Both he and his wife have been very active in the Etobicoke Hospital campaign. Standing for office for the first time in December, 1966, Mr. Powell was elected to the board of education for Ward 3, placing second in a fiveâ€"man contest. Thus he qualified for the first threeâ€"year term, ushered in with the amalgamation of Etobicoke Township with the three Lakeshore municipalities. By HUGH GRIGGS Trustee Peter John Powell, 82, of 55 East Mall, educated at University of Toronto and at the University of Montreal in marketing, is well able to sell that most important public service: Education. He and his wife, the former Joan Leavens of Islington, moved to their present borough home 34 years ago. And he is currently national sales manager for Toronto Life magazine. : Mr, Powell is a former executive member of Metro Toronto Jaycees and a member of the Toronto Advertising and Sales Club, as well as the American Marketing Assoâ€" ciation.

By HUGH GRIGGS Establishment of a Metro Toronto Education Commisâ€" sion with fullâ€"time repreâ€" sentatives from the Borâ€" oughs and the City of Toronto is recommended by Trustee Peter Powell of Ward 3. He would have them either elected or appointed for five year terms ‘"to efficiently administer the education system," he said. Mr. Powell contends the personnel should come from industry and not education fields in order to bring modâ€" ern concepts to work in solving cost and operation This, he argues, allows little or no time for thorâ€" ough study of the pros and cons of given proposals. Etobicoke alone, without Metro, is a larger economic entity than any of the Maritime provinces and yet we attempt to administer it on a partâ€"time basis," he said. "Etobicoke is fortunate to have a good administratâ€" ive staff â€" ‘the best in Metro‘â€"but a great deal of current operation could be streamlined with the impleâ€" mentation of more modern business techniques," he contends. ‘HIGH STANDARDS‘ He has a word of praise for Etobicoke education officials and staff, howâ€" ever. . He terms the existing Metro education system as not efficientâ€"a horse and buggy system in a jet age. Under his proposal he would create a Commission with four fullâ€"time repreâ€" sentatives from each of Etobicoke, North York and Scearboro; two from East York, one from York and six from Toronto. t SIXâ€"DAY WEEK He points out that the present system impases a sixâ€"day per week workâ€"loaa on trustees, just to keep pace with agendas. ____ problems.

The sound of a crash, however, will touch off a signal that will cause the camera to preserve the enâ€" tire episode, beginning 20 secâ€" onds before the crash. This will give scientists a complete moâ€" tion picture of what happened, removing the guesswork from after â€" the â€" fact investigations, which normally depend on the recollection of witnesses. The York mayor contends that because the Etobicoke routes are closed off entirely at night to trucks the vehicles are pounding their way in large numbers down Weston Rd. to disturb adjacent home owners. York Mayor Jack Mould issued a warning to Metro last week about the ban of trucks at night on certain traffic routes. The mayor said unless the night ban on trucks is lifted on either Islingtonâ€"Royal York Rd. or Kipling Ave. in Etobicoke the borough of York will demand that a night ban be placed on the Weston Rd. route that runs through the heart of York. Metro executive committee last week sent back for reconsideraâ€" tion a proposal by Metro transâ€" portation committee that both Etobicoke routes be opened up for night truck traffic to give some relief to the ‘Weston Rd. route in York. ‘"‘Tax inequities are terâ€" rible. Rural schools get 90 percent of their bills paid by the province. In.other words, they are subsidized by Metro taxpayers. The Metro committee will reâ€" consider the truck route problem early in January. ‘"‘Toronto Metro, the largâ€" est economic entity in Canâ€" ada, is not getting its fair share of tax revenue dolâ€" lars from either provincial or federal levels of governâ€" ment.

WEST AT ISLINGTON YOUR WEST END COUGAR CENTRE AT at In midâ€"December a â€" story about a parking tag was carâ€" ried by a wire service, a dateâ€" line Longview, Texas. The Onâ€" tario Safety League recognized it as an anecdote circulated in an OSL "Good Driver" press reâ€" lease, on October 19, 1961. The League had quoted it from a report from England, and the origination may have been furâ€" ther back still. It is encouraging to know that a good story has so much vitality. Here is the story, as circulated by OSL in 1961: Two scripts have been selecâ€" ted for submission to a panel of three judges. The judges are Mr. Stewart Brown, Mrs. Elizaâ€" beth Lampard and Herbert Whittaker. The winner, as announced, will receive a prize of $500 and the possibility of a professional proâ€" duction of the play. The fire makes a production at Vineland impossible. If a production acâ€" companies theâ€"cash prize it will be done in either Toronto or in New York City. When he returned he found a reply from a courteous London policeman. "I‘ve circled this block for 20 years. If I don‘t give you a ticket, I lose my job. Lead us not into temptation." Seventeen sceripts were subâ€" mitted. Twelve qualified as full length plays. Two of these 12 scripts were long oneâ€"act plays but were still considered. A delegate to a convention in England left his car in a noâ€" parking zone with this note on the windshield: "I have circled this block 20 times. I have an appointment to keep. Forgive us our trespasses." The Garden Center Theater‘s announced Canadian playwriting contest is still very much in effect in spite of the fire that destroyed the physical theater at Prudhomme‘s in Vineland. He said the tax rebate only affects home owners, w ho are becoming t he minority. 5 _ Mr. Powell has plenty of ideas to improve. Among them are: e I m provement of communications â€" a m o0 n g other Etobicoke administraâ€" ti_i)n units, including Counâ€" cil. e Continuance of the Etobicoke "leading the way policy" through construcâ€" tion of flexible s ch o ol buildings.
