Trustee to try for legislature Sandblasting gives Weston Road. Frank Kennedy, a trustee with the Metropolitan Separate School Board, stated today he will seek the Liberal nomination in York- view riding for the next provincial election. Mr, Kennedy, 43, a free lance writer, said his principal objectives in seeking office, were to fight for the equality of ALL taxpayers, especially in the area of the Attorney General's department. Secretary-General of the United Nations U Thant addressed the recent World Federalist congress in Ottawa. He said the long delays to get anything heard in the courts now, are an injustice to many people. Schafer also gathered in $18,601 from some 225 people for the coffers of the movement after staging a colorful demonstration using children and young girls who passed collection plates among the crowd. He was taken to task by a feminist who berated Schafer for kissing his wife before making the plea for funds. Charlotte McEwen seized the microphone and charged Schafer with using sexploita- tion tactics and went on to demand that 50 percent of all offices in the movement be held by women. A feather in Mr. Schafer's cap as member of the Canadian Federalists Ad- visory Board was the agreement of Ottawa Mayor Ken Fogerty to join the movement at the mundiali- zation ceremony in front of the city hall. North York's Reuben Schafer attended his first World Federalists Congress last week in Ottawa although he has been an active member for several years. He hates travelling, he told the Times, but returned from Ottawa enthused with all the people he met from around the world who are dedicated to strengthening the United Nations. WORLD FEDERALISTS Delegate attends from North York a face lift to Central United Church on One of the other objectives given by Mr. Kennedy was his personal opposition to the White Paper on Taxation. The businessman must be encouraged, not frightened, he said so that there will be more jobs and opportunities for all Canadians, The White Paper as it now stands will stifle initiative and progress and will cost all of us jobs and money. There should be no capital gains tax on in- dividuals who sell their homes. They're already paying too high property taxes. "I believe that the heart of your program - a world under law - is realistic and attainable," he said. He praised them on their past performances in calling the world's attention to the explosive population growth and told them they are an important segment of world public opinion. _ VIP’s attending the congress included UN Secretary - General U Thant who told the assembly: "You have held before us a vision of a unified mankind living in peace under a just world order." Impressed by their understanding of the problems of the United Nations, Thant commended the Federalists for their "courageous advocacy on its behalf." Seven hundred delegates attended the congress representing 40 countries. World Federalism is strongest in Japan where half the population are living in mundialized communities. Mundialization takes place when a local government declares its city to be a "world city" wishing to live in peace under a world law. Toronto became a world city in June, in so doing became the largest North American city to be mundialized. We had two of the worst fences in town. One, at the back, was ours, leaning at a 45-degree angle over our neighbors' vegetable gar- den, and killing it ruthlessly, year after year. They, understandably annoyed, suggested a new fence. I was loath, after pricing fencing. But we agreed to split the cost of a mutual fence. And here's the kicker: He's a builder. I couldn't nail two boards together without mutilating myself. So I jumped at it. byBillSmiley Good fences make good neighbours. That's what poet Robert Frost told us in The Mending Wall. From our experience this summer, I agree with all my heart, though perhaps not in the way that Frost intended it. Two petitions sent to the Committee ask for the permanent removal of the boards. It states that since there is no organized hockey being played on the rink, the rink has become a meeting place for people to create a disturbance. Removal of boards surrounding a hockey rink in Pearen Park have homeowners petitioning York Parks and Recreation Committee. Raguhbir Singh says he is a citizen of the world and he is shown here with his brother Avtar (right) outside the World Federalist congress in Ottawa last week. He is heading south and promised to write from each country that he visits on his peace trek. Mr. A. W. Price, Eglinton trip around our backyard Pearen Park petition splits area residents Painting began. My wife painted one panel of our side. We were away for a few days. When we returned, the whole fence was finished. His wife said, "I went ahead and painted your side." I assured her we were delighted. My wife hid, in shame, for two days. Now he's going to use his power saw to cut up all my old dry cedar fence, and we'll have enough kindling for the fireplace for two years, and the finest fence in town. How's that for neigh- bors? At least on one side of the fence. “Maintenance men arrive around 3 a.m. to scrape the ice and their machine creates a noise as it bangs against the boards and the ice," said Mr. Price. He continued "It is common for people to get Avenue, complains of noise because of the rink. "In winter lights are turned off at 9 p.m. but people skate and bang the hockey puck against the boards until about 1 a.m. regularly. One of them said not a word all afternoon, but when it was over, he shook hands with his hostess and mur- mered: "Goodbye. Thank in a house in 30 years, but they were given the run of the house, as well as the back lawn. Can you imagine what it means to those poor devils - the patients, that is? Some of them had probably not been dozen nuts dumped in your back yard for a three-hour picnic? I'd probably go hide in the bathroom. Yet his parents were out there, talking to them, humoring them, feeding them, and simply being sympathetic and decent. Mr. Price's back yard faces the park. A six foot fence has been erected separating his yard from the park. onto the ice about fl a.m. and start banging the puck against the boards. At the present time golfers are there hitting the boards and balls frequently come over the fence and it is dangerous." - "We miss a lot of sleep due to the noise," he said. The petition enraged It takes all kinds of neigh- bors, but I think we're pretty lucky. Luckier than our neighbors are, perhaps. They have only us. Mrs. Cruickshank said "it is most unfortunate that a minority group would find the park too noisy or boisterous for their mode of living. "I am of the opinion that They want to see the boards kept up enabling the youngsters to play hockey, and have sent their petitions to the Committee. Another, a pschizophrenic, examined all the rooms in the house, verbally re- arranged all the furniture, dabbled himself with any perfume or lotion available, and drew a portrait of the hostess, including a heart above her head, and a swastika in a basket. She wonders if he saw her as a benevolent dictator. you." It was a great achievement for him, ac- cording to those who knew homeowners Mrs. M. Cruickshank, Glen Valley Drive, and Mrs. M. Sutton, Pearen Avenue. Delegates to the fourteenth World Federalists congress stop to chat between sessions. Sivasankari Chandrasekar from Madras, India, tells Reuben Schafer (centre) her nickname "In the vast majority of instances, this is the result of participants enjoying the fruits of good wholesome sport," she said. "Instead of having the boards removed from any person living close to a recreational park should expect a certain amount of noise." C @\\\@\Kflé\\w\m\\®â€"~ OWENNNQ 4fL. qtllllll.
