The problem of community expansion, regional . planning and government, is obviously the major problem facing our province, he said, noting that: | --many municipalities are lit- 'erally bursting at the seams; --their boundaries do not con- form with the lines of economic and social development; --they are anxious to move forwatd, they are looking to the future; | --they are looking to the On- |tario government for direction. | "Certainly the problems which jlie ahead are many and com- |plex, but they must be tackled | without delay," said Mr. Walk- ler, in a speech to the Ontario |Legislature. "Many dollars can ibe saved and a much more effi- cient form of government can be established." Mr. Walker said he ,was sur- prised to read that in the 20 since joint planning boards in the province have been permitted, not one official plan has been approved by all municipalities in the planning area. "In the interests of the over- all development of this great province, we can no longer af- ford to tip-toe around the fringe of the matter; we cannot per- mit individual municipalities to hold up future progress," said Mr. Walker. "We must grasp this prob- lem in both hands and in co- operation with our progressive elected municipal officials, we must take strong decisive steps to push forward this important program which will provide a system of government which will more adequately and effi- ciently serve the needs of the people of Ontario.' | | ni Being F d Committee Being Forme Watch Out For Teething © 'Problems, Realtors Told | | Oshawa sales representative Jim Gorman wanted to donate to the Canadian Save the Chil- dren Fund He made. inquiries and dis- covered that the city was with- out a Save The Children Fund} committee Disturbed by this Mr, man immediately set situation. | Gor- about | An inaugural meeting is to be held at St. Gregory's Auditor- jium on March 23 at 8 p.m. At the meeting an executive jcommittee will be elected and) plans laid for Fund organiza-| \tion.

Mr. Justice Leo Landreville at Osgoode Hall upheld the will of Isadore Kleinman of Toronto and Port Perry, who died Mar. 8, 1963. Mr. Kleinman also stip- ulated that his granddaughters observe Jewish dietary laws. He left $500 to Jewish charities, $2,500 to a daughter, Neshka Katzina, and $1,000 to a granddaughter, Risa, 15. The residue was left to the children of his other daughter, Mrs. Faye Stein, Perry st., Port Perry. The three girls, Risa, Freda, 15, and Denise, 9, must each comply with his requests or forfeit her share to charity. The executors and trustees asked the court for an inter- pretation of the will. Mr. Justice Landreville noted that the money will be held in trust until each of the children has the } Certain: A proposed study of local governments "should receive jthe unanimous support of all the municipalities. concerned," says Oshawa riding MPP Al- bert Walker. "This particular area in which we live is one of the most rapidly developing in Ontario," said Mr. Walker. "It is obvious that planning is a vital neces- sity to future progress." Mr. Walker has also urged the provincial government to let these studies be objective with a view to. definite action based on the results. Municipal officials from Osh- awa, Ontario County, Bowman- ville and Darlington Township met last month to discuss a possible request to J. W.

Mr. Walker said dedicated municipal officials in the area are vitally interested in pro- gress and are willing to sup- port any program which provide a better. and more eco- nomical way of life for the citi- zens they serve. CHANGES CERTAIN "There isn't any doubt that regional government will be- come part of our future way of life," said Mr. Walker. The Oshawa riding MPP noted there are varying views ex- pressed by local government representatives and community leaders on what form regional governments should take, "Tt may be that the county base for regional government could operate effectively in many areas of our province," said Mr. Walker. "T would suggest, however, the differences that can occur in economics, social and physical patterns would necessitate -a of approach," ite said. 'No hard and fast lines can be established. There would be need of the highest degree of co-operation if any successful form of regional government is to be achieved."
