It turns out now, that council did notify the Board of Education of its intentions to rezone a parcel of land for a 17â€"storey apartment building at 2053 Weston Road. The poposed building whichâ€" will abut the King Steet Schoo! is opposed by the Weston Home and School Association because it feels that the building will, (a) contribute toward air polluâ€" tion, (b) add more traffic to a school area, (c) make it imâ€" If the pri e k.‘ Thousands of residents living in the west end of North York must have been disappointed when North York council decided to put its weight behind the Metro Planning Board recommendation to extend the Yonge Street subway to Sheppard Avenue and at the same time pigeon hole the Spadina subway plan. While priority given to the Yonge subway extension is debatâ€" able, there is little doubt that Metro Planning Board and Reeve James Service failed in their duty to conâ€" sult North York council before makâ€" ing the final decision. For them it will mean another 10 years of battling their way in cars and buses through giant traffic jams to reach the office and factory and to return home again. As red faced Councillor J. A. Gould said recently, growth in the west section has made enormous TEMPTED BY BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE? ‘The Associates Home furnishings finance plan lets you furnish the way you‘ve always wanted . . . with monthly payments tailorâ€"made to your inâ€" come and situation.

However, what really nettles the people about the Yonge subway decision is the fact that Metro counâ€" cil, the Toronto Transit Commission, the Planning Board and Traffic comâ€" mittee all decided two years ago that the Spadina expressway and subway should and would be the next phase of the Metro subway system. Now it‘s beginning to look like a Queen Street subway may take priority. These officials should realize west Metro residents and planners frown on broken promises and will be a little more suspicious next time a projected plan is thrown their way. In the meantime they will just have to wait for their promised subâ€" way â€" â€" probably until the 1980‘s.

On behalf of the Jacob Bull Chapter of the I.O.D.E. we are very grateful to The Times for the photo in your paper of our ladies and their work. Also we would like to say a big thankâ€" you to our businessmen. Through their kindness our drawâ€"tea and sale was such a success.

But 1 find the youth of the world frustâ€" rated and marching in proâ€" test against the urjust pracâ€" tises of this present generaâ€" tion _ such _ as _ compulsory army service and the civil rights demonstrations in the U.S.A. and now in Australia on behalf of the Aborigines and all over the world againâ€" culous for the enumerators, some animal pets were regisâ€" tered â€" a disgrace to the intelligence of the people of any civilized country. If we had banned mineral based detergents, like some European countries did several years ago, our present problem would not exist to such a degree. We are certain many housewives are interested in the pollution problem and would refrain from using polluting detergents. They should be given the opportunity. Needless to say, we refrained from calling the Proctor and Gamble man for reasons that should be obvious. However, when the next article or program on water pollution appears before the public eye let us hope the housewife‘s contribution is not mentioned, for it hardly seems fair to on one.hand criticize the ladies for polluting the water and on the other refuse them information which would allow them to choose a nonâ€"polluting detâ€" ergent. This newspaper called the Ontario Water Resources Commission for a list of brand names. The first call netted another name to call â€" and so did the second â€" and the third. Finally a Commission spokesman said the Commission would not divulge the brand names but instead asked that we contact an employee of Proctor and Gamble, one of the two largest soap and detergent manufacturers in Canada® The OWRC also stated that most manuâ€" facturers were shifting from the "hard" or minâ€" eral based detergents to the "soft" or organic based detergents and that there are few of the hard variety now on the market. That‘s The Way ... I find that officials are often inclined to blame someone (in this case being the houseâ€" wife), when the fault really rests with someâ€" body else. Based on the facts stated in the ediâ€" torial, the Ontario Water Resources Commisâ€" sion must take the blame for all the household detergents which are polluting our_la‘kes. F.C. Pity the poor housewife â€" and those who try to help her. On most TV and radio programs and news articles regarding water pollution the housewife is accused of playing a key role beâ€" cause she uses "synthetic‘ or "mineral based" detergents. These detergents do not break down. Instead they cause masses of foamy suds which pile several feet deep on the surface of the waters when discharged from the sewers. They also produce phosphorus vital to the growth of algae, which in turn saps the water of oxygen, eventually causing patches of "dead water", which will not support life. I personally back the editorial appearing in last week‘s New Toronto Advertiser reproducâ€" ed in my column below. O 2o What are the brand names of these synâ€" thetic or mineral based detergents? It is diffiâ€" cult indeed to find out. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCBH 3265 Weston Rd. Rev. J. C. Bouvier, Pastor â€" Rev. A. Horvath, Asst.
