WESTON, QNTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1964 On August the 24th, 1964, van Manen confirmed his former orâ€" al statements by signing a stateâ€" ment declaring that he refuses to pay dues to the union. On August the 25th, 1964, the union presented a grievance to the Corporation of the Town of Weston wherein they requested dismissal of van Manen by the Corporation if he persisted in refusing to pay dues. On June the 12th, 1959, Mr. Teunis van Mapen signed an ap plication for membership in /the local union, which was acceptâ€" ed and payed dues for some months. On September the 3rd, 1964, in a meeting of the Grievance Committees of both parties to the agreement, the Corporation notified the union that van Manâ€" en‘s dues for the month of Sepâ€" tember were deducted from his payâ€"cheque according to the agreement. This action of the corporation soived the grievance. The current agreement does not call for a closedâ€"shop but all the employees in the bargâ€" aining unit bave to pay dues.

Our wealthy neighbour to the west, Etobicoke Township. has refused to help build a nursing school at Humber Memorial Hos pital designed to serve the northâ€"west Metro area. The hospital board told Etoâ€" bicoke, "If Humber Memorial can reduce its debt by another $250,000, it commits itself to proceed immediately with the planning and construction of the regional school of nursing." The board also saw that Etobicoke and North York are its only sources of funds at present. Etobicoke Reeve, John Macâ€" Beth, said this week that he feels "Weston doesn‘t have very much to spend their money on" and should provide the $250,000 needed to pay off a bankâ€"loan and permit construction of the school. Humber Memorial is a 350â€" bed institution located 2t 200 Church Street, Westor. Since commencement of operations in 1951, the hospital has provided about twoâ€"thirds of its service to residents of Etobicoke and North York. Because of a 230â€"bed expanâ€" sion program begun in 1959, Humber Memorial is now more than $550,000 in debt to the banks â€" and â€" contractors. . The Board of Governors, headed by E. D. Rushbrook, wishes to reâ€" duce this figure to about $300,â€" 000 within a year‘s time. APPLE PIE ORDER. Yes, everything‘s in apple pie order as far as Margaret Eakin, 13, is concerned. She just won first prize in the junior pieâ€"baking conâ€" The cost is estimated at $750,â€" 000 with government grants payâ€" ing all but $250,000 to $300,000 of the total. Officials of the Ontario Hosâ€" pitals Services Commission have requested Humber Memorial to build the school which would be an "areaâ€"wide nonâ€"residential school with a twoâ€"year proâ€" gram." Students woull attend classes in the Weston building and receive practicai training at Humber Memorial, Etobiâ€" coke‘s Queensway General and Northwestern General Hospital which straddles the North York â€" York boundary. Size of the stu dent body would be about 200. However, the heavy debt, acâ€" cording to the hospital board, prevents construction of the nursing school and a further adâ€" dition of 250 beds. The proposâ€" ed school would have priority. Etobicoke has already pledgâ€" ed $125,000. The board asked for $50,000 more this year and a further $75,000 in 1963. North York has already contributed their $50,000, according to Humâ€" ber Memorial. Etobicoke maintains that Humber Memorial is 1 "showâ€" place" for Weston and that the town should feel obliged to take an even larger share in the inâ€" stitution‘s financing. Records show that Etobiccke has contributed $189,500 since the original 54bed nospital was built. In the same time, Weston has granted a total of $150,000 or about $20,000 less than Etoâ€" bicoke. Etobicoke Township has a IS THE HUMBER BEING POLLUTED by this drain?

R. W. Eakin, Nagle Street in Downsâ€" view. See Around Downsview, page T. At that time, North York‘s grant was $30,000 and Etobicoke added less than $16,000, about the same as the Township of I York. When Humber Memorial was built, _ Weston _ handed _ over $100,000 thanks to tireless work on the part of the local Lions Club and other publicâ€"spirited citizens. Humber Memorial maintains the nursingâ€"school is an import ant matter because of the acute shortage of qualified nurses in Ontario and particularly in the Metro area. population _ of _ approximately 180,000 compared to Weston‘s 10,000‘ It is one of the wealthâ€" iest municipalities in Canada.
