It is expected that the overâ€" all cost of the area‘s developâ€" ment will be $2,680,000. In addressing the two advisâ€" ory boards regarding the proâ€" posed area, Authority chairman Dr. G. Ross Lord noted that its development would be a longâ€" term project carried out over a number of years and financed within the Authority‘s budget. Each stage of the area should be completed before opening that particular phase of developâ€" ment to the public, he added. Humber Is Dirty But Not Polluted Mr. Aki Oda, an employse of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, said pollution of the Humber was "very bad" at one time but not as many impuritâ€" ies found their way infto the water "nowadays". Weston residents should not be too concerned about possible polâ€" lution of the Humber River. The stream, which is at its lowest ebb these days, is murky and slowâ€"moving but does uot conâ€" stitute and real danger. He said regular tests are not conducted on water from the Humber but that occasionsl samplings showed nothing to cause concern. Some parts of Southern Ontario are experiencâ€" ing great difficulty in obtaining pure water for drinking and bathing:~@eeédrding to a commisâ€" sion report. SCHOOL‘S OUT!

Toronto Recreation Commis sion charges that residents of the suburban municipalities use the city swimming pools would appear to be groundless. The children of Weston and Etobicoke stand accused of adding to the city‘s overâ€"crowded public pools but the evidence seems to be to the contrary. It would be inaccurate to take these statistics at face value for they do not allow for more than one vitit to a pool per swimmer However, it is apparent that no residents of Weston or Etobiâ€" coke need journey into the city to make use of a public pool. The adjacent township of Etobicoke has three pools, two indoor and one outside. Alderâ€" wood Pool is on Orianna Drive, Memorial Swim Pool is at 50 Montgomery and the outdour pool, Richmond Gardens, is at 44 Strathdee Crescent. More than oneâ€"quarter of a million men, women and childâ€" ren swarm to these oasis every summer as soon as the warm weather comes. One informed source said the overâ€"crowded conditions in Torâ€" onto are probably due to the closing of the Sunnyside Pool for repairs. Over 50,000 adults and childâ€" ren used the Weston Area Swimâ€" ming Pool last summer, during the months of June, July, Augâ€" ust and September. Pool officials said many of these were probâ€" ably residents of neighbouring North York and York Townships. The Weston tank is located outâ€" doors at the town recreation center on Lawrence west.

DAVID NADEAU WESTON, ONTARIO â€"~ THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1964 and airplanes seem more to his liking. John, who is graduating from Grade 13 at WCVS, wants to beâ€" come an aeronautical engineer and will be studying engineering science at the University of Toronto in the autumn. Alan Spence, mentioned above, is also graduating this year and will study Honor Maths at U of T. He is 18 and plans to become a highâ€"school mathematics teaâ€" cher after further studies at the Ontario College of Education. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Webster, 160 William, he is workâ€" ing in the TTC‘c clerical departâ€" ment at the Central Barns near Bathurst and Davenport. John, and Alan Spence, were the only students at Weston Colâ€" legiate who volunteered to write the "Problems‘" paper during the recent Departmental examâ€" inations. This is an optional exam, given to those who have above average abilit)“ algebra, triginometry and calculus. John admitted the test was "pretty difficult" but said he gave it "a good try"‘.

AKKY DILLEN He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Spence, 1934 Lawrence, and a member of St. David‘s Anglican Church. Other interests are bowling but he plans to spend most of his summer earnings on books and clgthing. Alan is working as a tollâ€"collector on the Burlington Skyway. David Nadeau, 16, of 17 Coral Gable Drive in North York, is going into Grade 11 this fall. Unlike many highâ€"school studâ€" ents, he must pay tuition fees of $225 because he attends a private institution, St. Basil the Great College School, 3100 Wesâ€" ton Road. David is out to earn his tuition costs and also the expenses of schoolâ€"clothes and books. The son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Nadeau, he is working in the mill at Laidlaw ‘Lumber in Weston. These six students are well on their way to earning $500 to $1000 oar more this summer. What about the young men and women who have not yet found work. The outlook is not entirely en JOHN WEBSTER Will Weston have its own rugby football team this fall? Several local residents would like to see a junior football team based in the town and playâ€" ing their home games at the Weston Recreation Center Groâ€" unds. The Invictus Redmen, one of the seven teams making up the Ontario Junior Football Conferâ€" ence, have made overtures to the town Recreation Department, local businessmen and the Wesâ€" ton Lions Club, which owns the Recreation Center property. The Invictus, which played last year at St. Michael‘s High School on Bathurst Street in Toronto, would like to move into a smaller community where resâ€" idents could be persuaded to supâ€" port a junior club. Frequent meetings between team officials and residents of Weston have been held in an atâ€" tempt to iron out such difficultâ€" ies as how to accomodate spectâ€" ators and the best location for the young players to change and shower. Duncan MacDonald, a Weston lawyer, is an alumnus of the Invictus Club and one of their most ardent spokesmen in the Weston area. Otto Glatt, another team backâ€" er, said the local playing field, located behind the Weston Arena, is in need of conditioning. He said the team is made up of boys between the ages of 16 and 22. Anyone from Weston wishing to try out for the squad Football Team! Here in Weston? is welcome and will be given the same opportunity affordad to other aspiring "stars". The Redmen open hostilities with an exhibition game against Brantford, August 22. They btart scheduleâ€"play by going against the Scarboro Rams, August 28, in Scarboro. couraging, according to G. E. Warby of the National Employâ€" ment Service branch in Weston. ‘‘We‘ve had as many as 60 highâ€"school students registering for work in one morning", he said, "young people are coming to Weston from all over Metroâ€" politan Toronto because of the building boom here. There is quite a problem in placing them, especially if they‘ve had no parâ€" ticular experience in any field." Other teams in the league are Hamilton, Burlington, Lake shore, Balmy Beach and Oshawa. He said most employers are interested in persons secking permanent positions rather than a highâ€"school student who will leave after about ten weeks. Mr. Warby added that the preference in temporary jobs is usually given to university students who and mature". & "Employers look upon hiring university students as an inâ€" vestment. Often the training and experience they receive during the summer will suit them for & permanent position with the firm after graduation", he said. Mr. Warby revealed that emâ€" ployers often are reluctant to hire Grade 13 students and someâ€" ALAN SPENCE DRIVE SAFELY Mentally ill men, woren and children, who live in Weston and North York, have become so numerous that the existing Unitâ€" ed Appeal agency, the Family Service Center, cannot cope with them. A social worker for the agency, Mrs. Ruth Parry, said the Centâ€" er‘s offices, at 1904 Jane and 5248 Yonge, will accept no new cases, regardless of their nature, for at least two months. During the month of April, the center dealt with a total of 337 families, 149 of which had been diagnosed by psychiatrists as mentally ill. This represents a percentage of 53. The compâ€" arable figure in 1955 was only 14 per cent. Mrs. Parry said the charitable agency was able to deal adequâ€" ately with only 120 of these people. It could not cope with the other 217, a group in which 99 children were involved. Mental Hiness A Crisis! Weston, NY, Need Clinics She said that Weston and North York have no other public menâ€" tal health clinic and the Family Service Center is being forcey to assume the difficult task of filâ€" ling both roles. ‘‘These people need help. Fori some reason, possibly the comâ€"| plexity of urban living, they canâ€" | not get along in the world of j reality â€" they are seriously imâ€" | paired and unable to function as f a normal member of society. There is a very high proportion] of children among the acutely‘ ill people we are trying to aid. | Often these people are dangerâ€" ous to themselves and to the | general public‘, she said. | times shy away from those in the lower grades. He suggested packaging, conâ€" struction, and service station work as the best opportunities for boys with little experience. For girls, factoryâ€"work or a temporary office position might be best. ‘‘Even being a waitress reâ€" quires a great deal of experience are considered more "capable Because of the holiday, Wednesday, July 1, The Weston Timesâ€"Advertiser will be published Friâ€" day, July 3, instead of Thursday.

Weston and North York need at least six mental clinige to deal with the combined prigy ulation of about oneâ€"third of a million," she added. The agency, which is support ed by donations from the public by grants from the municipalitâ€" ies concerned, says that a menâ€" tal health clinic must, by provinâ€" cial regulations, be associated with a hospital.

The matter is of particular inâ€" terest to residents of Westuon because scores of the people im need of professional help are from the town. Mr. Warby concluded with, ‘‘Education is a big factor and any person who wishes the best possible career should finish school.
