councillors felt the problem of speeding power boats should rest in the laps of park board who is better qualified than parks jjoard to look after swimming and boating on the lake asked councillor jack greer parks board doesnt own the lake councillor ted tyler jr reminded council whos got jurisdiction over the water then asked councillor bill coats well you cant get to the water without treading on land answered mr tyler with a grin whos going to stop people from private camps from putting power boats on the like if we regulate it from the park asked councillor marks the discussion waa precipitated by no i committee minutes which revealed the chairman of the poice hanassed by nuisance culls the police office his been plagued by nuisance phone calls atelyand theres a fine if the callers are located if a police officer is in the ojp office and answers the call sometimes the phone is hung up immediately in a couple of recent cases ha hu been given a messageabout a shooting about a man in my house with absolutely no details naturally he is concerned apparently they were hoaxes a phone call to the police office when no one is there rums on the red light at the millmain corner the officer on patrol then returns to the office to put on the recording they urge all callers to leave a message even if it is not important someone who calls back in five minutes just forces the officer to return from patrol again perhaps to again and nothing on the recorder there are two kinds of callers that cause needless work and worry the true nuisance callers who are deliberately misleading or harassing the police and those who simply do not realize the trouble they cause by not stating for the recorder why they called safety committee of the chamber of commerce suggested that power craft be barred from fairy lake or that restrictions be placed on the use of the power craft by the proper authority swimmers have been complaining that some power boats have run dangerously close to them while they were in the water the committee decided to refer the recommendation to parks board for their action and comments reeve f oakes thought they could do nothing to bar the craft beardmores own the land but who owns the water he asked the s64 question again lots of people depend on the lake for fun with their boats declared dr oakes msyor duby indicated that beardmore and co would like to be included in any meeting to discuss power craft on the lake dredging hu removed many of the obstacles and weeds which prevented swimming in the north arm of the lake swimmers are using the area on the north side of the arena and off elizabeth drive since it hu been cleared many of the obstacles which prevented power craft from operating in these areu have been removed and the craft have been free to open up the throttle anne macarthur newty elected reeve of n township provided one bright spot in an otherwise duu dialogue with four ontario cabinet ministers at the riviera club in norval thursday aftemooci mis macarthur smashed au previous regional government proposals by indicating the townthjp would like to remain u a unit and team up with acton in a regional unit this dropped like a bombshell in the meeting which had beeri a humdrum rehash of previous government proposals up until this point mrs macarthur chalknaed the minister or municipal affairs daicy mckeough to prove splitting nassegaweyvj township wu a democratic exercise when 97 per cent of the population signed a petition opposing the move she poohpoohed government suggestions that size equals efficiency pointing out that the township hu good roads an official plan a fine educational system and the first area board in ontario area hu to be considered mrs macarthur insisted for the citizens of nasugaweya to benefit from regional government plans which would split the township one pert going to milton ana the other lo the guelph area nassagaweya people are concerned about the proposed division the reeve uid and feel they cant exist u a community if they are divided if we cannot exist as a unit wed like to go to acton because we have a great deal in common with that community mrs macarthur told the astonished ministers who tslked or the town joining milton as representing the withes of the township ratepayers mrs macarthur said the township wanted to keep its rural completion and would like to be taxed as rural after talking it all over seriously she ssld nasugaweya people felt joining with acton in a unit would enable them to retain their rural character mr mckeough answered that things were so good in nasugaweya the benefits must be spread around there are 3000 in nasugaweya utisfled i agree with much of what you ssld the minister told mrs macarthur but i cant agree about rep by pop mr mckeough ssld there were 55 or 60000 people in oakville not so happy with the county burlington is so unhappy with the present county setup the town applied to leave halton that represents another 75000 people who are unhappy and want to get out im aware of the views of both burlington and nassagaweya mr mckeough continued and we must find a reconciliation of those views

would nuke sense lo include the townahlp with guelph the minister said at this juncture mrs macarthur told the meeting that if the township had to go with anyone they would rather team up with acton in a regional unit energy and resources minister george kerr the township representative at queens park admitted the acton- nassagaweya love match was a new wrinkle for him it looks to me as if they have been holding meetings in somebodies basement probably over in the scotch block he lemaiked racelloutly acton fepresentsllves at the meeting did not comment on the nasugaweya proposal but the loud cheer when mrs mscarthur broke the news that they pieferred lo team up with acton indicated they were in favor of the idea at leait in principle launching of a nationwide program to promote the use of the canada standard size css label on childrens clothing wu announced recently a canada standard size label on a garment means that it is sized according lo body measurement rather than the age or the child many parents hive complained to us about the trouble they have buying childrens clothes which fit properly said consumer affairs minister ron batford obviously all eightyearolds are not the same size and hirf consumer should bt able to buy by meuuiement rather than age we are launching a program to encourage manufacturers to produce childrens clothes in canada standard sizes and we are urging
