interest especially when you mention being out in the storm of feb 11 that really was a day to be remembered es pecially by one family group an eight year old boy walked alone from school a distance of three miles in 2i hours not quite to his own home but to a neighbors house slumped over wheel stouffville a stouffville man was fined 100 and had his licence suspended for three month feb 20 fol

was given one month to pay the fine released in his fathers custody on 1000 bail terry kostuk will reap pear in court on march 20 about half a mile away he said his feet were too cold to go on any farther this is the storv in brief on wednesday feb ii during the worst blizzard of the season one little boy eight years old show ed that the youth of today have what it takes when put to the test this boy was asked to leave a school bus because of mis behavior and was told to go back to the school tele phone his parents to come and get him this he did not do and an hour later when he failed to return home with the other chil dren efforts were made to trace him he was not heard from until he walk ed into the neighbors house 2i hours after he left the bus he said that he had tried to go back to the school out could not see because of the storm so he turned around and tried to walk home he wanted to walk across the fields but thought maybe his folks would not be able to see him when thev came several cars stop ped and offered him a ride but he said no thanks as he had been taught not to ride with strangers he suffered no ill effects and no doubt will long remember his lesson needless to say they were all relieved when he turned up at 430 the child has a hearing prob lem and when his head is covered with a warm woolen cap and parka he would hardly hear a car approaching especially in the wind the proper authorities have been notified and regulations will likely be made so no child will have to face such an ordeal i thought that you might be interested in this story mrs roy

the ontario department of health all burning must cease at the township dump by february 28 1970 to combat air pollution since burning is riot per mitted from that date it will be necessary to dispose of refuse by sanitary land fill methods for the township to undertake such a project alone would be extremely expensive with this in view an agreement has been made with metropolitan toronto that will provide pickering with refuse disposal facilities at metro operated sanitary land fill sites after february 28 1970 all pickering townships refuse will be disposed of at the beare road sanitary land fill site in the borough of scarborough and the township dump will be closed residents who receive normal garbage pickup service by the township will not be affected by the change private residents who have been taking garbage to the pickering dump may continue to dispose of their own garbage free of charge at the metro beare road site provided that it is generated from a single household and brought to the dump in a vehicle no larger than a halfton pickup private garbage collection companies operating within the township and township businesses and industries may take their loads to beare road where they will be required to pay the standard metro dumping fee currently 200 per ton this charge will replace the present charge in property taxes for the operation of the township dump which will be removed from the 1970 tax bill no liquid wastes will be accepted it is hoped that all persons concerned in these changes will cooperate and if there should be any questions you are invited to call the engineering department who will endeavour to assist the beare road site may be reached by taking sheppard avenue formerly lansing cutoff west to kirkhams road turn north on kirkhams for 3
