most They contend that if this particular candidate as good as they think he is is a good man in parliament and does his best for his constituents physical combat This type of lineup has long gone and now each member of the family could be found vot ing for a different party it has taken the best After all there cannot be much sense in having a candidate elected on the basis of his indepen dence and then being regimented in parliament dent today that they i promises of something for nothing for every body They have found out by experience that there is nothing for nothing Regardless of who

Sky finishes going the new NEWSROOM NOTES Regional government a good thing for Georgina There has been much said about the affects of regional government on the Township of gina Having covered the Council there for the Take the budget for example Last week Geor council passed the budget that increases tax es throughout the township The tax increases are partly due to the spending policies of the old municipalities of and North In these two townships the councils kept a relatively low mill rate but failed to do many things that were necessary for the maintenance of roads and supplying various services In the Keswick area taxes were gleaned from cottage owners especially in southern areas while very little had to be spent for services There are few paved roads and no municipal water and sewage facilities the township reaped the assessment This year with regional government a tougher line has been taken and the local council which had nothing to do with creating the problem must bear the brunt of the criticism a head this year Councillor Ken slated at a council meeting two weeks ago that old gina kept taxes down by not providing needed Tax increases are hard for elected represent atives to gel away with especially when other areas of York Region are seeing lax decreases thanks to transitional grants from the province Mind you nobody is quite sure what will happen next year when those grants arc not available At any rate residents have a healthy tax increase this year and a levelling off next year That is what Mayor George Iloth old and North had BILL SMILEYS SUGAR AND SPICE Bizarre answers to a year ago the budget thus accounting for part of increase in taxes The only area that did have a deficit was Sutton which has a higher mill rate because of a provincial order One other effects of regional government that has been misunderstood and therefore unpopu lar concerns two holding bylaws that arc in ef fect throughout the township These two bylaws seem lo be grossly mis understood by a great number of people The purpose was to protect the township against hole in the Planning Act The township would have lo pay for servicing such subdivisions Regional planning department devised the holding bylaws lo prevent this However at the had a choice at the time Il could either zone large areas agricultural and slow down building on individual lots wanted development In the township Murray Pound regional planning commission er told council at a meeting in April that it was not a perfect solution but one that could be lived with until an official plan for land use is BILL GAMBLE The smell of it all Recently I wrote a column on the subject of what the individual would do if he or she had one year to live I asked for suggestions from readers and have received quite a few Perhaps the most interesting ideas came from a Grade class Their teacher had sug gested my topic and asked them to write an es say on it The results were revealing touching in some cases rather horrifying in others Ill give you a sampling reproduced just as they were written grammar and spelling Intact In most eases the boys were brief and pungent The girls tended to write what the teacher might think was worthy with a few notable exceptions They waxed romantic and dramatic The boys were blunt and honest Grace About a month before I was to die I would go to a church every day talking to God and then later to a priest Lynn If I had one year to live I would quit school leave home and go live with my brother In Montreal When I died well I guess I die Debbie I

government has brought its prob lems for residents at however it seems lie seriously coming to grips with problems In his novel Brave New World the late Huxley imagined a world of the future in which an ultramodern movie house would actually provide extraordinary assimilations of reality in the form of all images feelings and smells He predicted that not only might moviegoers become actual parti

garlic at the foyer before entering the auditorium just as cowboys used to check in their sixshooters be fore entering a saloon And what of the pollution problem Students are going to take a pretty dim view when they learn that just as their efforts to get exhaust fumes off the streets arc beginning to bear fruit they going to have the same exhaust fumes blowing in their faces while watching a
