given location traffic moves within the speed limits the op portunity given the department to assign an officer for long pe riods on traffic control will cut down the speed and the com plaints in june another strike occur red at the amalgamated elec tric plant for the first few days some two to three hundred strikers and sympathizers gath ered at the gates during the day attempting to prevent employ ees still working from access and also blocking vehicles from entering whenever possi ble on the third day the tension had reached a point where it was felt a show of police numbers was necessary to keep the peace and on request officers from markham township rich mond hill and vaughan town ship came in and their presence was sufficient to permit the plant to continue operation in addition to this the local police committee cooperated with the addition of officers when neces sary to ensure movement of transport vehicles in and out of the factory at this same time the com pany obtained an injunction against the strikers limiting the number of pickets at any one time to four on each gate with certain other restriclions this took off some of the pressure and tension and police num bers were restricted also from then on the chief was able to handle the matter during the day witli assistance from one officer when necessary to per mit vehicles in and out charges laid there were many incidents of violence alleged violence and various other complaints which resulted in a number of charges being laid both by company employees and strikers as the summer wore on many empoy- ees gradually returned to work from the picket lines and to wards the end of october the strike petered out the police committee and the council co operated with police in every way during this unfortunate lahor dispute constant pressure is still ne cessary with certain premises where young people gather the cooperation of owners has been requested but it is still necessa ry for officers to be constantly in attendance checking cars and drivers to keep disturbances down we have readied the point where the presence of one officer is sometimes not suffici ent to keep the peace and should there be a situation where con trol became impossible the far reaching effect could be loss of respect for the law defiance and the result a community where a certain element would feel they could do as they pleased this is happening all the time in various parts of the province and we trust counril will en sure is does not happen here rot always apparent to the pub lic hours are often spent bring ing harmony into a home again as opposed to costly court ap pearances and time we have about a dozen such families who periodically require police serv ice in this category the same applies to juvenile complaints it is not our policy to proceed through the courts with first offenders in many matters we prefer our own me thods guiding the parents when ever possible getting the young person involved in some inter est such as scouts girl guides etc or some similar organiza tion making a friend of them and in most cases this young person will respond to this treat ment and cause no further trouble families appreciated this form of handling much more than the embarrassment of prosecution and the complain ant is also much more satisfied with ths procedure there are several groups in this communi ty operating with young people and they never hesitate to assist us when requested with cases such as are described above safety program our safety program continues with school children with the help of the school authorities and no little help from the mo torists and truck drivers some of our citizens give as much credit to these drivers as to the children or some of them rob inson school passed nine years in the elmer the safety ele phant program st patricks have six franklin working on their second after attaining s and the new crosby school got under way when it opened late li the year to give this program its need ed attention involves much time in the schools and this has not been possible during the year for many reasons the sys tem on the roads has changed somewhat although we still have some patrols operating at various points in this connection bicycle safety plays an important role we have had two of the familiar and popular rodeo days and these were well attended we are now working out a plan of examination of equipment and the issue of a safety card after a check of equipment and acces sories the home school as sociation are interested in this venture and have promised some assistance it is possible the time has come for a licens ing policy by the municipality the sale of a license providing a number plate and these maje- rially assist in location of bi cycles stolen lost etc much overtime has been put in by all the staff and when the chief was hospitalized in august were hard pressed to provide the necessary service particularly when an officer resigned during this period court time both in richmond hill and newmarket have in creased the difficulty of continu ous coverage of the area at all times and thus factor will con tinue in the future rather than diminish these facts are not ap parent to the public generally and this applies in every com munity a citizen is usually un aware of the police service un til the need arises and there is apathy towards the operation when an officer is needed there comes a need for immediate service and if it is not forth coming criticism results some times before the person involv ed knows the facts concerning the amount of service available often too the public is not informed of correct police pro cedure in some matters and here the press can play an im portant role in making public at times various phases of police work for the information of the people locally we have been lortunate in press relations which are excellent in conclusion we express our thanks for the cooperation of all surrounding police forces and the ontario provincial police the rcmp custom officers and immigration authorities the stouffviue tribune jburuby february 4 1963 ft i 450ft wide dam

of farmer revealed in poll for the past two years indi vidual farmers and their organi zations have been concerned about the farmers image in order to find out what urban people really think about farm ers a survey of 2000 urban canadians was taken across canada findings from this sur vey formed the basis for the broadcast and study material for farm forum discussion farmers image as seen through the eyes of the urban citizen is that he is less educat ed but more hard working he is more anxious to get ahead but earns less money he re quires more training for his job has a better business sense is more efficient but less up-to- date he is a better citizen gets along better with people has more political influence but pays less taxes forum members were asked what they thought of these views s2te stated the farmers image was much better than they had expected they felt this was due to the change in farming methods increased travelling of both rural and ur ban people and social inter mingling of both groups quite a number were of the opinion that even inough farm image is good the average ur ban dweller does not under stand agricultural problems however they believe the busi ness and professional city man would have a better understand ing than the unskilled urban worker forum members fell the press presents an unfair im age of the farmer some said farm subsidies which arc often criticized actu ally are of more benefit to the consumer the farm image could be fm- ed suggested the forums accurate publicity and they i urged farm organizations to improve and expand their pub lic relations departments farm ers can improve their image by dressing like business men when they go to town and by sprucing up the appearance of their farms farmers also need to change their own attitude to wards their occupation by being proud of their chosen profes sion interchange between rural and urban people at all levels would create a better under standing recommended the forums theres nothing wrong with standing on your dignity if you have something to fall back on once again the waters of hurricane hazel are swirling over a dam on the rouge river but now more than 10 years after the storm the dam is a model in a testing basin at queens university in it engine ering tests can be made under controlled conditions to gauge the effect of torrential flows of water on proposed dams not long after hazel slashed across the toronto area forcing river and stream levels to un precedented heights and taking a heavy toll in human life and property the metropolitan to ronto regional conservation authority initiated a plan with a fourfold aim a ring of dams would be built on water courses around toronto to conserve water pro vide recreation areas reduce flood damage and hold emergen cy supplies of water each dam before construction has undergone tests in model size so it is with the dam pro posed for the rouge river near markham working from sketches pro vided by consulting engineers technicians at queens created the model of fibreglass plywood cedar and aluminum the real dam will be of earth fill with concrete spillway wings and downstream apron calibration of the spillway is one of the major jobs facing professors s s lazier and ar thur brehner of queens civil engineering department who are in charge of lite testing in other words they must determine how much flow the spillway will handle efficiently under the varying conditions anticipated and to be simulated in the testing basin as well they are concerned with measures to prevent ero sion of the dam structure itself and with the design of the apron to answer their questions about points of the dams do- sign professors lazier and brebner plan to have varying volumes of water pumped over the spillway peak flow of 1800 gallons a minute on the model is equal in proportion to the runoff from hurricane hazel which sent 9000000 gallons a minute tumbling over the milne dam near markham at that time the milne dam built in 191 1 was heavily damaged the new dam wiii be 150 feet wide with more than 200 feet of its width taken up by the spill way upstream from it will be created a lake of approximately bo acres with a maximum depth of 15 feet a bridge using the dam as a foundation will span the river the milne dam still standing will be demolished and part of its concrete structure will form fill for the new dam several weeks of testing are necessary says professor lazier lefore the models job will hava been completed by that time it will have been studied by
