Form Clarke Citizens' Group On June 27th two groups of ratepayers, one in the north and one in the south of the Township, grouped together to form a Clarke Citizens Committee. Both groups had circulated petitions opposing the Clarke Township Zoning By- law and thus is borne out of oppo- sition to the By-law.

Vander- imes ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 18th, 1968 Visit Hamilton Last S4nday a bus load of the Orono Hortitultural Society en- joyed a visit to the city of Hamil- ton. Our very capable treasurer, Mrs. Jakeman met the bus at the Bank corner and had us all paid up and stowed away under the guidance of our genial host for the day, President O. Challice who kept us rounded up ý't our staps and faith- fully counted and checked to see we didn't get left behind and in that heat we really appreciated his good temper. Thanks Orville. Our first stop was at beautiful Dundurn Castle, the home of Sir of the United Provinces of Can- Allan Iapier McNab the Premier ada in 18 4. The castle was re- stored with furnishings etc. of that time, also containing many portraits and pieces actually a part of that household. Young lad- ies in period dresses were our guides nd as horticulturists we really enjoyed seeing a lady pick- ing flowers from the old fashion- ed garden and as we toured the building she was at work in her pantry creating beautiful bouquets which she placed about the rooms. .The main focus of our trip was on the Royal Botanical Gardens and Lily Show and we visited in particular the rose garden which was just a riot of bloom and the Rock Gardens developed in 1929 to 1931 in a series of old sand and gravel pits. Along the rim of the Rock Gar- den we really enjoyed resting in the shade of the trees and many refreshment in the "Tea House." The Lily Show was very inter- (Continued on Page 4) Orono Shoppers' MaIl Again Reaches Success The Orono Shopper's Tall on Saturday has received mixed com- ments but everyone does agree that it was hot on the Main Street. Most of the merchants in Orono stepped into the swing of the event and went to the sidewalk and the street with their wares. Business men who do not conduct a busin- ess on the Main Street also pulled into the section with their parti- cular lines of merch-andise and equipment. In all it was a fairly good show and a real good atmosphere did exist. This was expressed by a number of businessiren when they. commented oh the Mall during the day. The items on sale could never be listed and there were good prices being offered. A number of local businesses report greater sales this year than they registered last year. This was not true in every case. The crowd was constant throughout the day but never ov- erflowing the open street space. The little children enjoyed the free merry-go-round rides which were provided courtesy of the par- ticipating businessmen. The winner of the portable Tel- evision was Master Charles Butler and nev.er has there been a more excited youngster than this boy when his name was called out. Miss Robertson and Mrs. Norman Kennedy were lucky draw wíaners at Rolph Hardware. A number of merchants hàve expressed a view that it would be much better to hold the Mail on a Thursday afternoon and evening rather than on Saturday when so many are away. Have to wait un- til next year for an answer to this. spoot. Mr. Butt, who chaired a meet- ing on Senday afternoon of some forty members at the farm of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Morton, said that everyone has the right to protest a right which is often passed over. The present issue, he said, involv- es the background of everyone The plan as presented by Couneil in the Zoning by-law was so unac- ceptable in its present form, es- pecially for townships in the Twentieth Century. He questioned the qualifications of members of the Planning Board in being able to compile an adequate plan without professional help. It was stated that no consideration was given to pollutiot nor had the De- partment of Health been con- tacted by the Planning Board. He said the only department the Board had contacted was the Plan- nihg Branch of the Department of Municipal Affairs. OBJECTIONS STILL ACCEPTABLE Mr. Butt informed those pres- ent that written objections to the By-law can still be lodged even though the date according to the by-law had expired. "You still have the right to object," he said. This information, he stated, had been received from the Municipal Affairs Department and with whom he had already registered other objections. "We have re- Mrs. Ross Gilbart is being loaded up with donuts at the Shoppers' Free rides for the kids was a pop- ular event on Saturday and above Two members of the Pine Ridge Festival of the Arts are a- bove demonstrating some of the art of fencing. This group was in ceived gracious guidance from this Department," h said. Mr. Butt said "We have seen the product of no or bad plan- ning." Here he referred to the loss of valuable farm land in the Niagara fruit belt area and that in Pickering which has that muni- cipality almost bankrupt. "We be- lieve that the Township of Clarke requires a good plan that is hon- est, equitable and considerate. When our objections are heard they must be serious," he said. "We believe our cause is just." The meeting was informed by Mr. Butt that over 200 objections had been filed from our group a- lone. He also stated that Mr. T. A. H. Strike had been retained to ap. pear on behalf of the Clarke Cit- izens' Committee at the Municipal Board hearing, which he felt would be held in September. It was pointed out that the group in the south were mainly opposed to the fact that lands south of 401 Highway had been zoned industrial and that in most cases this was good farm land. It was stated that good farm land was zoned industrial while marg- inal land was zoned agriculture. Further, it ývas stated, that farm land south of 401 now zoned in- dustrial could not be used for any type of residential use At least in agricultural zone a farmer (Continued on page 4) Malf on Saturday by Mrs. Bruce Myles.
