MeMebr of the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Assoc, Need To Expand Facilities (The following editorial appeared in the Oshawa Times and we feel bears out the fact that the Township of Clarke chose for its Centennial project one la which there is a great need.) The richness of recreation- resources in Ontario is probably without parallel in any other Canadian province. Yet the population growth is suc'h that 14e developmnent of such resources is being outpaced by the demand for them. The consequences of the lag is evident in many of the prime vacation areas. Power boats are towing water skiers through what were formerly strictly swimMing ar- eas. These samne type of craft are addinig to the pollution problem ini fishing areas. A major section of the easily ac- eeàgble lakeshore sites has gone to private developmeat; that whicli provides camping facilities. for the general pub- lic is becoming overcrowded. A ready indication of how seriously the demand for recreationii facilities is outdistancing the developmnent can be found in statistics released by the provincial treasury. In 1962, some 3.5 million acres of park and wilderness areas were available la the province, This means' the acreage available has increased to 3.7 million. However in the samne' period the use of park area, had spiralled by some 20 per cent. Thus a strong case can be argued for the necessity of moving ahead M~ore guickly in providiag recreational facilities for summer use. And, at the saine, time, consideration seems warrant- cd of the control of the use of somne lakes and ia some areas to the curbing < f the conflicting use belng made of recreational resources'so that their value May be realîzed to the full. The point which has been made by the Peterborough Examiner is well-taken. The aewspaper contends "thç prin- ciples of recreational developmeat have been recognized in Ontario; now is the timie to base some firm policies on that recognition!' At The End 0f The Rope .Planning, we feel, is of paramount importance to the future of a comMunity. It is the only mannier in which, a municipality can control or direct its development. With- out the control which is provided, in the planning act, de- velopment will proceed.in ail directions as suits individuals with no thought to the beariag it may have on the munici- pality. Clarke Township is the first municipality east of Toronto that is virtually without planning. Being s0 and in close proxiniity to' large urban areas and industrial fact- cries developers and home owners are going to look to this area where no control governs the selling of property or the developmnent of lands. This,' if allowed to continue, could place Clarke lna.a position of scattered development at a rapid pace. Such development could have a direct bearing on the cost of education -ia the future for with scattered devel- opment busing will become a major expense as small e;chools continuie "b close and the policy of larger school units grows. This policy is being followed in Clarke and will. no doubt continue.,, Municipal Councils have ia the past b een able to point their fingers at school costs as the culprit in local tax- ation. They-were certainly free to do so because couacils were not exercising or connected too closely wlth the edu- cation system. Now that Township-wide School Areas have been formied there is a direct connection between the planning foir larger central schools and municipal community plan- nýing. School Boards will be unable to economically locate' larger school units if residential development ruas wild and scatters over the municipality. Municipal planning will go hand la hand with school planning and without this municipal direction they will thea become a factor la contributing to higher educational costs. It is interesting to, note that the Township of Hope now recognizes that' they will be in trouble if nothing is done to instigate planning. The present Hope Council gain- ed their seats ln council by opposing planning and did, when they were elected, have planning done away with ia the Township. Hope Council has, within the past week, met with of ficials of the CoMmunity Planning Branch fromn Queen's Park. At this meeting such remarks by councillors as "I've been converted after having been the primie mover to dis- Oro no Students Visit, Niagaa raIls ýFfysuents fromn grades ,7 el"d 8 of the Orono Public Sehool 1ft last -Thursday afternooa for an over-night stay la Niagara Falls.
