Despite a plea for a delay to hear the case of area residents before closing a portion of Treeâ€" dawn Parkway, North York counâ€" cil Monday ordered the street stopped up. The Weston Home and School _ Association â€" has pledged a fight to the Ontario Municipal Board to block a proposed apartâ€" ment complex on Weston Road north of King street. When the Home and School Association first read about the proposal in The Times, an emerâ€" gency executive meeting was called and the decision reached was to oppose the 17â€"storey building. "Due to the fact that this building would occupy the enâ€" tire area immediately adjacent to King Street School, future school expansion would be imâ€" possible," Mrs. Watkins said yesterday. . She suggested that the land should be purchased for future school expansion, warning that if the apartment is allowed, a new school might be required to handle increased enrollment.

There is at least one Weston person, thoroughly familiar with the squalor, poverty and wretâ€" ched conditions that Canada‘s northerly Indians live under.

On her northern tour, she disâ€" covered that the Indians are living in "very bad quarters® in tents that needed patching, packing boxes a car would not fit into and houses in extrems need of repair.. Therefore, in â€"August, she spent three days with the Cree Indians and clergymen at the Indian settlements of Moose Factory and Moosonee. Since then, Weston children have been constantly rapping on her door to see her house full of toys that will go to Indian boys and girls as Christmas preâ€" sents. _ For the first time in the history of their settleâ€" ment, every Indian boy and girl will be given a toy or a doll for Christmas.

A loud demand by North York councilior Paul Godfrey for Fedâ€" eral government assistance in local recreation projects was slapped down and termed "poâ€" litical gimmickry" by Parks Committee chairman, Councilior found that the help Indians are getting, comes mainly from the religious missions. *"The Crees are a shy‘ race," she added, "and don‘t make many demands on our government." I can strongly support this statement. In my three years at Churchill, Manitoba, a comfortâ€"| able subdivision was erected by | the Department of Northern Affairs for the Eskimo populaâ€"‘ tion.

The only help they got was from a tew overworked priests and â€" ministers, food coupons from the government and the odd handout from the Hudson‘s Bay Company. WON‘T CHANGE Miss Etchells feels that simâ€" ilar to the likelyhood of a docâ€" tor or lawyer changing his proâ€" fession after many years of atâ€" taining that goal, many of the older generation Cree Indians have little desire to change their ways. 4 "I‘m interested in all chilâ€" dren," she said, "and it these ones aren‘t given a chance they will not grow up to be anything Slaps Down "Athletic Politician" Making Legalized Sweep Stake Bid MISS ETCHELLS MAKING A DREAM COME TRUE asked: ‘"Who would run these sweepsâ€"men?" Godrey said there should be a Federal department of physiâ€" cal fitmess and recreation. Booth congratulated Godfrey for his ‘"athletie politics‘" and added that his comments made after council had accepted a report on the township recreation facilities was "timed beautifully." A resourceful woman â€" â€" perâ€" haps because she has had to learn to overcome her handicap, multiple sclerosis, Miss Etchells asked the principals of King Street Public school in Weston and St. Clements school in Toronto to enlist their pupils to donate dolls and toys to the Indian children for Christmas. She now has enough toys so that every child in Moosonee and Moose Factory will know that there are children some where else who think anâ€" out them. "The children here, I‘ve been told, have just as much fun collecting the toys," she said. "They are also taught to be interested and care for someone else." Alluding to favoritism and corâ€" ruption charges facing the presâ€" ent Federal government, one councillor drew a laugh when he With the help of Mrs. Dorothy Stokes, the pair scrubbed, cleanâ€" ed. repaired and redressed the dolls and toys.

There were 945 who applied with incomes of $100 and $199 a month and at the other end of the scales, 145 with incomes of more than $450 a month applied for, subsidized housing. In Metro applications where there was only one parent carâ€" ing for a family, 151 fathers asked for assistance and 1.417 mothers. In these cases, 45 were widows and widowers, 719 were separated, 92 divorced and 301 unmarried. The biggest demand for Metro accommodation was two bedroom apartment units, ‘followed by three bed units and four bed units. Four hundred are asking for bachelor apartments and 210 have applied for five bedroom units. | 81 From Weston Ask Metro For Low Cost Housing "When I came home after seeing Moose Factory and Moos onee I had to do something for the people up there." Eightyâ€"one Weston individuals and families applied for subsiâ€" dized housing between July and September, according to the quarterly report of the Metro Toronto Housing Registry. The number of North York applications was 416, and for the city of Toronto the figure was 3.077. York Township appliâ€" cations numbered 224. By listening to Miss Etchells, you know why she has such a great fondness for children. "I‘ve told several people that if it had been left to adults to collect toys, it would have *akâ€" en months ard months and months to do what the chiidâ€" ren here have done." This ish‘i quite correct. There is one adâ€" ult that played a pretty large role in collecting these toys too. The.

His remark at council this week was sparked when a deâ€" veloper asked the township to include a clause in a subdivision agreement that a supermarket would be built next year to serve subdivision homes if the demand for the supermarket was great enough. People often buy homes on the strength that the subdivision agreement states the developer will save all the trees "where possible," ‘Booth stated, "when in actual fact we know and see them ripping them all out."

According to the Toronto Real Estate Board howâ€" ever, North York and Metro construction is still well ahead of last year.
