| In Princi z eT ee SE OT AE MRO @ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tucsday, February 23, 1968 Marina Approved BROUGHAM -- Since A. M. Carlyon applied for a change in zoning to accommodate a mar- ina at Frenchman's Bay, the Pickering Township Planning' Board has investigated, and the' applicant has optioned more land, making the total area for the project 11% acres. At a planning board meeting on Feb. 18, Mr. Carlyon and his solicitor revealed that the ini- tial investment in this project was $25,000, and that work was to commence as soon as approv- al from the board was obtain- ed. He indicated approval of the Independent Industrial Bank for a $45,000 business on this east shore of the bay, and said that he was thinking in terms of a quarter million dollar develop- ment in the future. "There will be accommoda- tion for from 200 to 300 boats," he said, "and it will be de- veloped eventually into a super marina. Our main concern is weather, and to get into busi- ness this year." SANCTIONED BY GOV'T. J. H. Faulkner, planning di- rector, reported that the Metro Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority, upon inquiry, had stated, "It is the opinion of the authority that the east side of Frenchman's Bay should be developed by private enter- prise," and that the Metro Planning Board had declared that the proposed re - zoning would not conflict with present planning, particularly the east side of the Bay." Chairman David Lennox reported that the committee of the whole planning board had paid a site visit, and were of the opinion that this is the proper zoning for it, but possibly not immediately. They were con- cerned ab access roads, parking, and the visual picture of the ultimate structures. Mr. Carlyon agreed that hav- ing to store boats on land in winter is an eyesore, but his idea was to create basins for storage. He had been in touch with spe- clalists in the compressor field, and through the compressors which would keep the basins open, the boats would be kept in the water all year around. DELEGATION PROTESTS J.. MacNeill, John Herda, J. Ross Robinson, and other resi- dents of the area expressed their objections to the marina, saying that they did not believe there were proper access roads, the roads on which they resided were private and not yet taken over by the township, and too narrow to accommodate park- ing. "We have had marinas for years," said Mr. Robinson. "What we are objecting to is that we will get another junk house there. Bay Ridges people have been a trouble to us, com- ing continuously to this area to find a place to launch their boats."" A petition, signed by 14/ names, was presented, saying that they were opposed on the grounds that the value of prop- erty would be seriously affected. Before a motion was propos- ed, the planning director was asked for his recommendations. "T feel the crux of the ques- tion before the board is the ul- timate use of the east side of Frenchman's Bay," he said. "The west side is being deter- mined for us. The predominate use of the east side is at pres- ent residential. I feel this is wrong, It has been a growth starting as a summer cottage type of development. The time will come when residential buildings will be worth less than the land on which they sit, as a commercial use. There is go- ing to have to be a transition period where residents are goinz to have to take a back seat to commercial uses. My recom- mendation 1s to make it com- mercial, but in the process to make it as painless as possible. I do think the application pre- mature because of roads, The next objection is the motor car, which is creating a problem in the area now. I don't think the Marina will aggravate it any. I think it should be obliged to ac- commodate any traffic that it might generate. I would like to see more accurate drawings, and see some sketch of ultimate development." ple A resolution was passed that the change in zoning be ap- proved in principle, subject to a satisfactory guarantee, and subject to the development of this area in a sound planning manner, Final approval will be con- tingent upon a number of pro- visions, including a _ perform- lance bond by the applicant, approval of council, proper park- ing facilities, proper access roads, and other recommenda- tions of the Planning Director. |SUPERMARKET PROPOSED The real estate agent for G. Solpietro, outlined a proposal for a supermarket, coffee house, and apartment for the north- east corner of Altona road and the Second Concession (or the extension of Finch Avenue), across the road from the Robin Hood Inn. The property will be pur- chased from Imperial Oil Ltd. if the project is approved. H. M. Anderson, of Imperial Oil, explained that the project was abandoned because of the future widening of both roads, and that the market pattern plan had changed. Several delegates opposing the project appeared, not question- ing the idea of the supermarket, but interested in the investment involved, and the appearance of the buildings when completed. J. Sargeant, J. Cruikshank, and Harold Mitchell, on behalf of his uncle, Frank Mitchell, were concerned that something attractive be on this corner, with adequate parking and sew- age disposal. When his remarks were in- vited, the Planning Director felt this was not in keeping with the final function of that corner, and that it should be multiple- family or commercial type use. "Is there any justification at this time?" he asked, "Where are they going to draw their trade? Is it going to be one of these enterprises to be boarded up, waiting for the population to arrive? Is this the type of facility that will cater to the walking trade or to the motor trade?" | A. C. W .Laycox revealed that the Altona Road will be started on its improvement program as sogn as there was a break in the' weather, and work: on it would last for some time. | "Perhaps it is premature be- cause of this situation," he said. The application will be fur- ther investigated, and more definite plans of the project will be required before a decision is reached. EXPERIMENT ON CORN WINNIPEG (CP)--Four Man- itoba farmers are taking part in an experimental program de- signed to increase corn produc- tion in Canada. The farmers have seeded newly-developed, early-maturing hybrid varieties. Dr. S. B. Helgason of the Uni- versity of Manitoba plant science department estimates there is a potential 100,000 acres of grain corn in the province. Ajax Council News In Brief March 21 to 27 was proclaim- ed as Red Cross Week by Ajax Council Monday night and per- mission was given to the society to fly the Red Cross flag from the town flag pole.

Council referred the matter to its reeve and deputy reeve, PICKERING WATER A letter from Pickering Vil- lage Council protesting about the water service to the village being shut off without notice for three hours on Feb. 6 will be explained in a letter by Ajax officials. Apparently the water shut-off was not planned but was a mistake made by a construc- tion company which is renewing some of the Ajax water mains. PERMIT GRANTED Good Rich Foods Ltd. was granted a licence to operate a refreshment vehicle during 1965. CELLAR FLOODED Leonard Townson, 64 Burcher road, sent council a bill for $202.96 for damages ._when his basement was flooded on Feb. 10 when the storm sewers in the area froze and sanitary sewers backed up 18 inches of raw sew- age into his basement.

Rev. H. Wright, chairman of Uxbridge Ministerial Associa- tion, opened ihe conference with prayer. P. T. Bernhardt, principal of Uxbridge Second- ary School, welcomed _ the teachers. Ray Lilt, vice-princi- pal of Port Perry High School, and president of District 20 OSSTF, thanked Robert Rattray, vice-principal of the host school, for the extensive planning and preparations he had made for the Conference. §. Rickard, principal of Brock District High School, intro- duced the guest speaker, Dr. Stuart E. Rosenberg, Rabbi of Beth Tzedec Congregation, To- ronto. Dr. Rosenberg has tour- ed Russia to study the cultural and spiritual situation of Jews in the USSR. He spoke on the topic "The Silent Revolution', "Our society," he said, "is committed to the concept of change without direction. We are the first generation that has accepted innovation uncritical- ly." He said that past genera- tions always thought that change was for the worse, but the present generation assumes that because something is new it must be better than the old: Change need not have any specific direction; as long as it is change, it will be accepted as better. Dr. Rosenberg referred to his Russian tour and said that although he might nui approve Large Grant For Recreation Is Sought' AJAX (Staff) -- The Ajax Recreation Committee Chair- man Bruce O'Brien appeared before the Ajax Town Council Monday night to ask. for a coun- cil grant of $13,500 to operate the. Recreation Association, Community Centre and Memor- ial Pool during 1965. This figure is more than $5,000 than last year's budget for the recreation committee when the grant was based on a $1 per |capita basis. Increased facilities and more |pay make up the larger portion of the grant. Mr. O'Brien answered coun- cil's questions about recreation and quoted the following figures to show what the' committee is doing for the Town of Ajax. The Boys' Club has 120 mem- ibers, the Girls' Club 148, the Ajax Minor Hockey Association has 386 players, Basketball has 96 participants, golf school 48, judo 60 and the art classes be- tween 15 and 25.

Here he related a per- sonal incident. Upon inquiring the reason for the very high jcost of a chocolate bar, he was informed by a waitress, "We are building Siberia now and later when we are ready choco- late bars will be cheap." "Here," he said, 'is change with direction and not just change.,'"' He commented that to the younger generation the past was irrelevant, because it does not speak to them as to what the future will be like. We as teachers must approach the past with the imagination that our young people require. "Our young people," he said, "con- tinually ask, 'What shall we do that is different?' "' Teachers must make students aware that they are being taught to become human be- ings, and not robots. Purpose of teachers must be to give a sense of futurism to life and to prepare students for relation- ships with family, home and country.

(AP)--Calis- thenics and cunning have be- come a part of washday chores for a group of govern- ment employees' wives as they do battle with lofty clothes-line poles. "Maybe it's the govern- ment's way of keeping us slim," one wife joked as she leaped to catch a line above her head. The government decreed that seven-foot-high clothes- line poles be installed with four new homes built in this Mexican border city for im- migration and naturalization officials. E..

Back came the reply: "Slacken the lines to a point where they can be reached." But the contractor had not left enough footage to permit slackening. Jones's five-foot-two wife, Jean, decided on the leaping method. When this becomes exhausting she stands on a bench to reach the line. Mrs. Erving Lemier hangs a heavy rug on the line to make it sag a bit so she can reach it.
