Al my life it has been the hobby I have longed to turn into a career. Such is my natural aptitude Actually I am very happy in my work. Oh, there may be the odd morning when I resist being led to the chair being the typewriter, a little scuffle perhaps, till my wife shows me the rolledâ€"up newspaper. But once I‘m in the chair, and the buckles have been tightâ€" ened, I‘m as good as gold. All the same I am strongly drown to those Civil Service Commission notices of a job vacancy that appear in the paper from time to time. For instance yesterday I strained eagerly against my straps when I read: ($9,940 to $11,200) National Energy Opened by the Hon. R. M. Drury, Canâ€" ada‘s Minister of Industry the show ran for a week at the Constellation Hotel. Of more than 1200 industries in Etobicoke only 26 took the time to display their products and explain how they were manufactured. Although the show was relatively small it was a most important step in the right The first Etobicoke Industrial Mxhibiâ€" tion has helped to dissolve the walls of ignorance by giving the citizens a brief opportunity to see what is being produced in Etobicoke. Due to the immense size of Etobicoke Township there has been little communiâ€" cation between the municipality‘s industry and its citizens. The lack of information from the manufacturers in the township has isolated the industrial areas from the rest of the community. ‘ On the map, attached to the resolution, there is a neat black line extending Mill Rd. over Highway 5, across Toronto Townâ€" ship land and Etobicoke Creek ending a: the Sherway property. In reality a bridge to cross clear from one boundary of Etobiâ€" coke to the other (over Toronto township), over Dundas, would resemble a small Burlâ€" ingtion Skyway extending for about a half mile and costing millions vi dollars. The proposed extension of the Queensâ€" way is almost as ridiculous. On the Planâ€" ning Board‘s map the gueenswa_v ends alâ€" most at the Etobicoke Creek.

The lack For years Weston has tried in vain to have Etobicoke expand the St. Phillip‘s Road Bridge over the Humber River. Reeve MacBeth and council have refused to bear the cost alone. But now the Reeve suggests roads and bridges across Toronto Township, at Etobicoke‘s expense, without consulting the other municipality. Financially Etobicoke is not in the posiâ€" tion to spend a possible midjions of dollars opening up a single area. Although noâ€" thing is impossible, opening this land for commercial use and heavy volumes of trafâ€" fic is most difficult from an engineering point of view. as thoroughfares therefore they are ineliâ€" gible for any major provincial grant.

How the various parties will line up on the issue is still not clear, but it seems safe to preâ€" dict, that while they may make a few dents in it, the insurance and trust copâ€" panies will get nowhere in their efforts to kill the proâ€" Ho: of Commons but also in recent Ontario election campaign. The proposal to set up a supplementary _ contri buâ€" tory old age insurance scheme based on incomes has already become a subject of partisan warnfare not only in the The most prolonged and inâ€" tensive controversy is likely to be sparked by the Governâ€" ment‘s legislation to establish a Canada Pension Plan, and a parallel bill to provide for an immediate increase in the universal old age pension from $65 to $75 monthly.

One of the first orders of business will be the legislaâ€" tion to impose government trusteeship on the five Canaâ€" dian maritime unions in an effort to end the labor waiâ€" fare that has raged on the Great Lakes for the past five years. It is probably one of the few measures to be brought â€" before â€" Parliament this sessioif that will win apâ€" proval from all corners of the House of Commons. While there does not appear to be much chance of the minâ€" ority Liberal government beâ€" ing overturned during the balance of the current session of the House of Commons, it can look forward to some stormy times. Although the Liberals might take some comfort from the further division of the Oppoâ€" sition with the split of a wing of the Social Credit party into Le Ralliement Des Creaitistes during the recess, the move could further intensifty the political instability withia Parliament.

""Glad we‘re not people, I‘d be nabbed asâ€" 000,000 a year. The question now to be decided is whether to draft a civil aviation policy that will define the position of Canada‘s two major airâ€" lines at home and abroad, as well as that of regional air carriers across the country. For months now the Govâ€" err&nem has been wrestling wi plans for inducing Caâ€" nada‘s auto manufacturers to out back the heavy import of parts from the United States, a factor respongible for causâ€" ing a deficit in Canada‘s baiâ€" ance of trade of over $500.â€" Most pressing is a decision on what to do about the eight general purpose frigates which the Royal Canadian Navy wants built at a cost estimated up to as high as $500,000,000. There is little doubt that ‘Mr. Hellyer consiâ€" ders the program to be a waste of money, but unless he can come up with a fast subâ€" stitute that will ‘keep shipâ€" yards working out of the pubâ€" lic purse he has only a smail chance of persuading the Caâ€" binet t6 scrap the frigate plan approved previously by the Conservative government. In addition to a defense policy, there is also the need High on the list is the quesâ€" tion of defense, with imporâ€" tant questions to be resoived which could affect Canada for years to come, Defense Minisâ€" ter Paul Hellyer is currently wrestling with the problem in an effort to come up with a defense policy that has some meaning in Canadian terms. Apart from getting its leâ€" gislative â€" program _ through Parliament, the Liberal Govâ€" ernment faces several imporâ€" tant decisions of its own~in the months ahead. There is a long list of other legislation as weli to keep Parliament going for many months to come. There is a bill to broaden the urban renewal provisions of the Naâ€" tional Housing Act, and posâ€" sibly to provide NHA mortâ€" gages on older houses as well. There is a special commission to be established to oversee the reâ€"distribution of House of Commons seats. A program originally put forward by the Conservatives to help labor and industry adjust to the deâ€" mands of automation is exâ€" pected to be revived by the Liberal Government in slightâ€" ly different form. Canada‘s railway system along the lines recommended by the Macpherson Royal Commission on Transportaâ€" tion will present Parliament with a heavy burden, but the general nature of the plan is expected to be supported by all Parties. The long awaite© overhaul of unemployment insurance legislation based on the reâ€" commendations of a commitâ€" tee headed by E. C. Gill of the Canada Life Assurance Co. is almost certain to touch off fireworks from opposition members.

Metro Parks Department intends to restrict automobile parking rights in Etienne Brule Park in Etobicoke due to traffic congestion. Similar restrictions will be applied in Marie Curtis Park in Long Branch. A number of suburban councils are realizing that Metro police do not have the manpower to enforce ali local civic bylaws. As a result many are being continâ€" ually violated without the civic administration taking any action. Weather instruments are to be installed at the Humber sewage treatment plant by the Department of Transport. Included will be a 30 foot mast and equipment to record humidity. It is customary but not always the rule that muniâ€" cipal legislators who become members of the Ontario Legislature resign from their municipal post. Christie bread company on Lake Shore Rd. in Etoâ€" bicoke will be allowed to carry out an extension to their building although it breaks a municipal bylaw regarding setback regulations from the rood. Eventual expansion of the plant was indicated as early as 1948 by the comâ€" pany, before the restrictive bylaw was passed. Metro has ordered the purchase of 28,500 tons of rock salt which will be used this winter on the Metro road system to melt ice and snow. Five companies hove been named by Metro to do the snow plowing on its road system this year which will cost an estimated $484,000 The recent attitude, sometimes dictatorial, of city members in Metro is building up a strong resentment among suburban leaders in Metro who have been weakâ€" ened by the loss of the North York reeve as a proâ€"amaiâ€" gamation city supporter. All the suburbs at Metro have to do now is start searching for a forceful spokesman among their group. Mimico Mayor Hugh Griggs ran into stormy weather in Metro Council but managed to get Metro Executive Committee to agree to consider appointing a special committee to coordinate proposed Centennial Year celeâ€" brations. The suggestion by the Toronto mayor that the suburbs forget their centennial projects and combine with the city on a theatre project left a sour taste in the mouths of the suburban members. Mr. Russell expressed confidence that New Toronto will still be around to celebrate its 75th anniversary. Etobicoke Reeve John MacBeth was first on his feet to shake Mr. Russell‘s hands after the plaque presentation by Metro Chairman Williaom Allen. According to New Toronto Mayor Donald Russel! there are no politicians, just administrators in the town council.
