canadian community newspapers association and ont ario weekly newspapers association second class mail registration number 0396 favor recreation complexin phases aii million dollar recreation complex for whitchurchstouffville is a oneunit project of unacceptable magnitude for the taxpayers of this town first certain segments of the plan are not practical at this time and second neither is the price however we do favor such a centre as an ultimate achievement phased out over a period of ten fifteen perhaps twenty years we would recommend too that one committee assume the sole responsibility of giving the project direction rather than several committees going separate ways we would suggest the setting up of priorities with a public library heading the list an arena curling rink and swimming pool could follow in that order the promoters of this total complex plan must be commended theirs is the type of foresight whitchurchstouffville needs however their enthusiasm should be restrained to the point of realizing that not every resident called on to pay the shot will curl swim chase a puck or borrow a book mobile homesworth a look bill corcorans mobile home project north of gormley has aroused much interest among residents not only in whitchurch- stouffville but many miles beyond and no wonder for the purchase of standardtype residences is almost prohibitive in this area particularly for young couples quite naturally then a price tag of 10000 is attractive it comes close to what most couples can afford theyre asking questions like when and why not town council on the other hand has been cautious their immediate concern is for the residents now located here they must also consider the municipality as a whole not one developer and one area however before coming to any con clusion either for or against we feel the members all members should inspect a similar subdivision elsewhere in this way the decision can be based on fact rather than heresay short sighted planning a 3 acre site on the west side of edward street opposite the high school has been sold by the congregation of stouffville united church for a reported 57000 who purchased the property is not our concern for the transaction connot be altered at this stage however it is our opinion that the york county board of education showed little initiative and no foresight in not acquiring this land for their own use on the east side of edward at the present school site theres no room for expansion without encroaching further on already limited playground space undoubtedly as buildup continues in stouffville a senior public school or junior high will be constructed on the west side and theres no telling at this stage what other additional educational facility might be desireable with this plan in mind wouldnt it have made good sense for the board to have staked its claim on the church site too we think so then later if the land was not required it could have been sold- possibly for a sizeable profit sugar and spice were calling on the queen by bill smiley editor 9 mail to the editor there may be no deer hunt in whit churchstouffville however i cant understand the ridiculous attitude of some members of town council and residents towards hunting if residents opposing the hunt do not want deer to be hunted on their properties then their wishes should be respected this does not give them the right to impose their wishes on others who might wish to hunt on their own lands of oblige their neighbors most of the opponents of a hunt are the same people who are currently crying over the high cost of meat venison is very good meat modern living has turned some people into hypocrits who scream about hunters killing off maybe 5 per cent of the deer in an area but still support chain stores who slaughter 100 per cent of the cattle they buy but they dont kill animals dont they if there wasnt any demand the supply would dry up but there is supply and the same op- posers go to the same stores and pick up a sunday roast or mince meat but they dont kill anything dont they they enjoy beef and pork but arent cows pretty to see on the hillsides yes they are but still theyre raised for the sole pur pose of killing for food some people think venison is tasty meat but it cant be bought legally no doubt some of the opposers enjoy lobsterenough to see them boiled alive or order salmon that has been caught in nets and die of suffocation after much suffering but this is their personal taste should they then be able to deprive others of fine meat certainly not there are more deer today than at any other time in history- deer management wages and expenses come largely from sportsmen who pay their 10 just to try their luck and skill in the tribune a national resources expert stated that deer were overly abundant in our area and that an open season would not harm this population are the towns people and recreation committee more knowledgeable on the subject than the government department that is set up to study wildlife nature does take care of overpopulation instead of a possible five dean kills in a herd of 60 nature may allow death by slow star vation and exposure of 15 or more i feel that our mayor was out of place when he stated in an official column the mayor reports that he personally hoped there would be no deer hunt his personal views should be aired as his not as the mayors this opinion could have swayed public feeling and votes about the hunt this is not doing his best for the people which should be the first concern of his office i suppose it will be the vegetable lovers next after all doesnt a vegetable start from a seed need oxygen water nourishment then grow and die then there will be no picking of wild onions charles shinners elm road stouffville were planning to go to england this summer last summer we planned to go to the maritimes last winter we planned to go to barbados two summers ago it was a trip across canada the plans are great but the performance is nil im not sure whose fault it is that the smileys never get off the ground i blame my wife she hates setting readv for a trip i sometimes think she deliberately broke her ankle last summer so she wouldnt have to get ready she naturally blames me because i dont get everything laid on in time she may have a point i dont like super organization i like to just take off and wind up wherever the fates take me whith as little baggage as possible she likes to know where shes going to lay her head at night and likes to have something decent to wear on every oc casion that might present itself that means three suitcases it also poses a big problem for this summer i just know that when the queen and phil hear were going to be in the uk therell be an invitation of some sort waiting for us at a touch cf holland a touch of holland has come to stouffville this beautiful windmill is tefaied on the property of mr and mrs ross madill lloyd avenue and formerly cf ajax jim thomas the dorchester or the savoy or the dirty duck trouble is what sort of affair will she invite us to if its a lawn party that means for my old lady a long summer dress big hat white gloves and for me a tough decision whether to wear my white sport shirt or my blue one but what if its for dinner at the palace as it probably will be thats another kettle of fish and chips it would mean a dinner dress and different shoes for the boss i could manage a black tie over my white sport shirt and if it was extra formal id pin my canadian spam medal to my shirt i can just hear the dinner conversation a bit fluty and highbred but sort of chummy rather like the pope trying to draw out the parish priest the queen how delighful of you and your charming wife to dous the honor of coming to dinner have you been to england before mr uh wiley me yes your honour uh your worship uh queen i fought for your old man in the last war guess you were just a kid

pinned to your uh i say that is a striking uh shirt the duke its a ruddy sport shirt elizabeth they all wear them meoh no queen they gave these out with the rations all you had to do was be conned into joining up the queen conned rations yes of course now wed like you to have a won derful time while youre here its lovely this time of year in scotland right up at the top as far as you can go mc

rotten kids and stuff the queenow now i mean ow yes that would have been lovely but ectually we mustgow to canadar this summer frightful oore out there it is me yep you must get sick of having to be

buckingham palace wont be any problem but what are we going to wear when we duck over to northern ireland to see uncle frank who has asked us out in his fishing boat i think ill have my wife dress in green and ill wear something in orange at least one of us might survive 4damin why not pay for the privilege of being employed by jim thomas for most weekly newspapers certainly this one saturday is picturetaking day i it now seems that most events are planned this wayfor weekends if not then i try to reschedule them as a convenience to myself from earlymorning til midnight its not uncommon for me to travel up to 200 miles attending activities all over the place sound like work sorry if it does because its not i enjoy it too much to look on it in that light works not really work in the true sense of the work if you like what youre doing at least thats the way i feel in fact id even agree to a company refund on payday as a token of appreciation id make a terrible union man for example i attended the crowning of the high schools may prom queen friday night a chore that could hardly be categorized as labor on saturday i escorted a pretty nineteen year old to the park for a teen of the week photo certainly no laborious task that either a few hours previous i attended a 4h achievement day in trinity united church at uxbridgeone male onion among two hundred countryfield petunias most in full bloom work hardly and the same story is repeated week after week its a great life time consuming mind you but i love it so why shouldnt i pay for the privilege why shouldnt everyone everyone that is who really wants to work and enjoys what hes working at it could be arranged something like this on friday when the employee receives his cheque he signs one back to his employer for say 2 per cent the two cents on the dollar would cover the purchase of a gold watch at age 60 plus maybe a cake with candles these would be fringe benefits more important it would indicate an employees appreciation of the position he holds and an honest desire to continue holding it until retirementno layoffs no strikes a kind of mutual ad miration society between management and labor but boy cant you hear the holler stephen lewis would lament the decree from the top of the clock tower every unionized industry in ontario would close and bill davis would retreat into exile on cape croker so another proposal goes up in smoke in theory it sounded great in practice to pay to work wont work my wife wont give me a cent wsksbbmmmmbmr
