A number of West Metro uniâ€" versity students were presented graduation degrees at the fall convocation at Waterloo Luthâ€" eran University, Saturday. After assessing the mood of the meeting, Booth said in his mind the time was ripe to form a rateâ€" payers organization. A commitâ€" tee to reach this goal was formâ€" ed by Dr. Bryce Taylor and J. Latham of Tobermory Drive; R. Maurais of Laskay Crescent; L. Moir, Mrs. M. Kerman and K. â€"Fulston of Hoover Crescent:; K. Churchill of Wilmont Drive and K. Luczka of Kinnie Court.

Similar moves are being taken by residents in other subdivisions north of the MacDonaldâ€"Cartier Freeway bordering Jane Street. More than 70 ratepayers of Uniâ€" versity Park turned up at Driftâ€" wood Avenue Public School while Councillor Booth spoke about the community and answered queries about tax assessment, roads and roning.

The highlight of the evening was a short film, in colour, enâ€" titled *"The Man In Room 117." Woven around a conversation beâ€" tween a nurse and a young docâ€" tor, it discussed treatment for curing cancer, the work being done in these areas (particularly radiation treatment), and the imâ€" portance of seeing a doctor in time. f the Weston unit First Real Christmas Miss Etchells is packing the toys received from the children of two Weston area schools and will soon ship the boxes north.

James Walker had commitments elsewhere. *" Scott gave a highly polished and impressive speech. He rapâ€" idly outlined the faults of the present government administraâ€" tion, the aims of the New Demâ€" ocrative Party, and, speaking much slower, went on to describe the virtues of the government administration in Sweden. He admitted quite shamelessly that the Social Democratic system of Sweden was his‘ favourite even though it is no longer the choice of the Swedish populace after some 27 years. Since her story "Their First Real Christmas‘‘ appeared in the Times, Miss Etchells said she has acquired enough gifts for children in another North ern mission. Besides toys, the missions are always happy to receive clothing, she added to make it a warm as well as a merry Christmas. James Walker, Liberal sitting member of parliament sent in his place, Don Brill, a businessman and local Rotary Club member who spoke slowly and effectively, outlining the achievements of the Liberal administration to date and their goals for the future.

This was after the plans were announced without the merâ€" chants ‘being consulted, Cooper said. At a special meeting Tuesâ€" day, the mayor and several councillors were shown working drawings of the exit ramp which would block off access to the businesses on the west side of Jane Street between Woodward Avenue and Church Street.

Asking why the delay after the rezoning application had gone through the official Metro and Weston channels. Watt was told by Mayor Wes Boddington, that the Municipal Act requires the local school board to file a cerâ€" tificate stating whether â€" school services were available to supâ€" port the â€" apartment project. Since the apartment would add only a few extra school pupils, he added. he could not see how the School Board could take any action other than supporting the application. Councillor Jim Trimbee felt that‘ the Metro chairman rather than the chairman of the Police Commission should be vested with the emergency powers.
