However, there is no percentage in living only the immediate present, in believing that something that has just happened, or is happening, is for that reason overwhelmingly interesting. How tiring it is, and how disappointing, to have our lives become a medley of illâ€"assorted impulses and adaptations to transient interests. In lauding our age as one in which we have machines that think, let us be mindful of the fact that human beings must think harder to keep ahead. The highest purpose of society is not to prepare a nation fit for computers, and this is one of the central points in the protest of youth. They see the world around them becoming captivated by electronic mechanisms, and they It is the legitimate aim of young people to make the future so attractive that older people will wish they were going to be there. If they show an original point of view and a highly sensitive appreciation of human values, these are not qualities to be condemned. If they have a feeling for those who live outside the benefits of abundance and for those who have less liberty than they have, that is merely giving expression to the highest ethics taught by all the great religions. ' ~ > Most young people handle the requirements of life and its pressures adequately. Their urge is to seize the passing hour and fill it with experiments. Young people in Canada are not, by and large, the frothy characters depicted in the comic strips. When a number of wholesome young people gather, the topics on their agenda are justice, economic stability, social development, peace, education, and the role of government in providing opportunity to citizens at home and aid to people abroad. They seek ways in which they can participate in national, provincial, community, church and school life. They want justice tempered with mercy, erudition mixed with understanding, and authority qualified by humanity. Young people have a consuming passion to make wheels turn, to go somewhere. Discontent with things as they are is not wrong in itself. It is the impetus which has created most of the greatness in men and women in all of history. But discontent which looks only at burdens to demonstrate against and not at blessings to use is unhealthy. Both burdens and blessings are part of normal life. The great scientists, historians and philosophers agree that life on this earth has been and is one continuous, neverâ€"ceasing process of readjustment. Young people know that they are maturing in body and mind at an earlier age than did preceding generations, and they want to have that fact acknowledged. Their demand to be heard reaches into every nation, and within the nations into universities and schools and families. Impatience comes naturally to the young. They resent the bureaucratic time lapse between pressing the button and getting an answer to their questions or action on their requests for change. TO BE YOUNG TODAY is not only to enjoy many advantages and comforts unknown to former generations but to suffer many trials and to cope with many problems which did not plague our forefathers. Young people are genuinely puzzled by the frictions and deficiencies in our society.

The standard of living enjoyed in Canada today depends upon scientific and industrial research; but our culture and our happiness depend upon our keeping a reasonable standard of human ideals and values. Reprinted from Royal Bank of Canada Monthly Letter. The first survey instructions in â€" Ontario ordered under Civil Authority were issued in 1 783 by General Haldimand to John Collins for the marking out of settlement townships in the vicinity of. Kingston to accommodate United Thoughtless persons like these should know why the marker was placed, and appreciate. the important part surveying has played in the development of this province. Two hundred years ago Ontario was an unmapped, practically unexplored â€" wilderness, bearing little resemblance to the province as we know it, with its modern community centres, industries and productive farms. Ontario‘s early history is full of stirring records â€" of hardships endured by the surveyor, and the problems he encountered and overcame while establishing. meridians through uncharted wilderness from which he could lay out townships and towns. fear that they, too, may become slaves of the machine. They seek a profounder meaning to life and a more satisfying culture, The society in which they wish to live would be eminently civilized, made up of men and women delighting to use their minds, loving beauty an elegance, keenly alive to the amenities and joys of life. They want poets and philosophers as well as engineers. Empire Loyalists. Lines were established and marked on the ground, and thus the first townships in the Province took shape. _ _An investigation might reveal that the‘ elusive "corner post" has been removed â€"â€" sometimes deliberately, sometimes by accident. In other instances there is strong evidence that a survey marker has been removed because someone required a metal bar to tether his dog or to anchor a guy wire. The familiar cry, "I can‘t find the corner post," is heard from cottagers arguâ€" ing with neighbours over the location of a common boundary, from. farmers disputing a fence location, from timber licencees accused of cutting over the line, or from anyone who finds it necessary to establish his property perimeter. Survey ‘posts important markers THE WESTON TIMES Herbert was playing with his friénds in Coronation Park near the animal control offices recently when he was struck by a golf club and received a deep gash in the forehead. George Banton and Jim Price applied emergency first aid, stopping the excessive bleeding and rushed Herbert to the emergency ward at North western Hospital, said his mother, Mrs. John Kouba. Quick action on the part of two men from the York Animal Control division received the commendation of the parents of 12â€"yearâ€"old Herbert Kouba, Kenora Crescent. Many â€" people don‘t appreciate the time, effort and cost of establishing or reâ€"establishing a lawful survey mark and have no knowledge of the penalty provided by the Criminal Code for defacing or removing survey markers. In land improvement and development programs, markers are continually being removed or altered. The death penalty for an offence of this kind was later modified to a prison term, but the Criminal Code of Canada‘ still provides five y ears imprisonment â€" for this offence. ‘"‘"And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid. That if any person or persogs shall knowingly and willfully pull down, deface or alter, or ‘ remove any such monument so erected as aforesaid, he, she, or they shall be adjudged guilty of a felony and shall suffer death without benefit of clergy." Boy hurt The protection of survey markers in those early days was considered of such importance that an Act was passed by the Legislature of Upper Canada in 1798. Mr. Hurlburt expressed surprise that provincial officials claim no knowledge that Metro had asked for increased financial aid to extend the subway north to Finch. The controller said he could recall at least two occasions where he and the Metro chairman, William Allen, in 1968 asked the province for help. None was forthcoming. Mr. Hunt failed in his bid to get Metro Council to reuire the marina developers to declare that a certain percentage of the docking facilities would be set aside for the day to day casual boating enthusiast. The marina will be selling seasonal memberships which will include the right to use a clubhouse, tennis court and swimming pool. North York Controllee Paul Hunt is still not entirely satisfied that a public marina Metro Council has authorized for Toronto Islands will not turn into a private yacht club. The islands already have: three private yacht clubs which stopped taking additional memberships last year. York Council had requested Metro Roads and Traffic Department to consider raising the speed limit from 30 to 35 mph. The alignment of the roadway and a narrow bridge makes it undesirable to raise the speed limit, said Roads and Traffic Commissioner Sam Cass. No change will be made in the speed limit on Trethewey Dr. The job of supervising the construction work has been awarded by Metro Transportation Committee to the Weston district firm of Duncan, Hopper and Associates Ltd. of Wilson Ave. The section of the widening between Dufferin St. and Keele St. includes a Canadian National Railway grade separation. â€" ' The Municipal Act indicates that only a municipal council must conduct its business in public. There is no requirement that a committee meet in public. Most civic committees in the Metro area hold public sessions. Without some public sessions the civic politician would have trouble getting his or her name in the newspaper. The widening and paving of Finch Ave. from Yonge St. to Keele St. is scheduled for construction this year. Mr. White didn‘t get an answer when he asked what criteria is used by Metro executive for private meetings. The executive has held about 14 private meetings or "discussions"" so far this year on policy, personnel and financial matters. The Metro chairman listed as a discussion only and not a meeting the conference held by executive commitee members with Economics Minister Stanley Randall to sort out ownership of lakefront lands and water lots. He said no resolutions or actions were taken at the conference. "How many were held and if so why?" the controllee asked in Metro Council. The Metro chairman said in reply that he didn‘t recall any private meetings of Metro executive committee on the waterfront matter. f York Controller Philip White last week closely questioned Metro Chairman William Allen on the number of private meetings held by Metm executive to deal with the waterfront development. t 1/ METRO AFFAIRS W NS Tng
