George W. Bull BARRISTERS ind SOLICITORS Howard G. Ashbourne, B A. Carl W. Caskey, B.A., QC. 2077 LAWRENCE AVE. w. (Just West Of Weston Rd.) WESTON, ONT. â€" 247â€"6677 Barrister â€" Solicitor Notary Public Evenings by appointment 1938 Weston Rd. (at John St.) Through its collective wisdom. council apparently decided not to enâ€" force the bylaw because it knows (or has at least received information) that other homes in town are being used as rooming houses too. So counâ€" cil feels that to take action against one rooming house operator and not the others amounts to gross discrimâ€" ination. This is a sound and valid argument to a point. The trouble is however, If North York councillors face the fact that officials of their administraâ€" tion had erred badly in the early If there is one thing that Weston councillors should do before the end of the year when most of them beâ€" come "unemployed politicians," it is this: Drop the zoning bylaw which forbids rooming house business in areas zoned single family residential. Recently it was brought to the atâ€" tention of council that there is at least one rooming house operating on Dennison Rd. W.. which is conâ€" trary to the zoning bylaw. North York approved the subdiviâ€" ion plans to build at the edges â€" of ravines and North York issued the building permits. Clearly then, slidâ€" ding. ravines are North York‘s proâ€" blem and it is up to North York to take remedial action. Why should the Ontario governâ€" ment and MTRCA be asked to step in and invest huge sums to prevent land filled ravines from â€" slipping, they had nothing to do with the homes being built on "floating" soil in the first place. â€" â€" In a recent editorial, the Toronto Star said the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority should buy up houses dangerously perched at the edge of slipping ravâ€" Since it was NOT MTRCA that isâ€" sued permits to build homes (like those overlooking the Humber Valâ€" ley on Stanwood Cresc.), we see no reason whatsoever, for asking the Authority to bail unfortunate properâ€" ty owners out of their sad prediciâ€" ment.

If the Weston councillors are sinâ€" cere about the 1964 election promises to enforce town bylaws, and as the executive body responsible for enâ€" forcing local bylaws, they have two choices. They should either scrap the existâ€" ing bylaw because it is not enforeâ€" able or hire more inspectors to see that it is enforced. Also known is that Weston is terribly understaffed in the bylaw enforcement department and simply doesn‘t have the manpower to watch for landlords taking in roomers on the sly. Reeve James Service has suggestâ€" and that the subdividers and builders should share some of the blame for the sinking back yards on Stanwood Cresc. Builders on the other hand, claim they can‘t be held responsible because their plans and projects were all approved and inspected by the township. In this instance, we suspect that the subdividors are right beâ€" cause if soil isn‘t suitable for conâ€" struction, it is up to the planning and building departments to see that nothing is built on it. .Reeve Service however, is quite right in asking council to approve of a garbage fill plan that may save homes on Stanwood Cresc. that the bylaw is being deliberately flouted and ignored by the rooming house operators, and everyone in town knows it. M 1960‘s in allowing erection of homes in such dangerous settings, and more important if they are required to spend some of the municipal tax dolâ€" lars to solve the ravine problem, it then stands to reason they will never again allow a home building on danâ€" gerous slopes.

Lasko There are many sound reasons for raising the minimum age to 18, and we list a few of the here: © It seems that very high per centage of young people can learn the mechanism of driving and pass a driver‘s test with flying colors. They don‘t however, accept the social resâ€" ponsibility of behaving according to the rules of the road. © Young drivers are considered bad risks by the insurance companies because of their high motor vehicle accident rate. The rates are so high therefore, the parents of these chilâ€" Weston Mayor Wes Boddington says it is his opinion the minimum age for granting driver‘s licences should be raised from 16 to 18. This newspaper agrees. Furthermore, the mayor pointed out to the Times that in an attempt to reduce the number of accidents, New York State has already set the minimum age at 18, and refuses to acknowledge the validity of driving licences of 16 and 17â€"yearâ€"olds from other states and provinces.

I feel the Plsnning Board should have exâ€" amined the Township of North York as an entity and determâ€" ine just exactly what type of community we are planning for the future. Should we continue to be a bedroom dormitory or should we plan to develop North York into a university and comâ€" mercial entity? What identity of North York is the Civic Cenâ€" tre to reflect?

That day hasn‘t arrived yet however, and we therefore believe that minimum age for issuing Ontaâ€" rio driving permits should be raised to 18. For those 16 and 17 who deâ€" pend on driving for a livelihood, speâ€" cial permits could be issued that would be valid only when the young With the rapid increase of terrible traffic accidents, the Department of Transport should raise the age limit to 18 this year. dren are inclined to buy the cheapest policies available, which do not give sufficient coverage in the event of a serious accident. © To many young people, the automobile is much more than a veâ€" hicle.

It‘s all about what the food processing industry does to food between the time they get it from the farmer and sell it to us. Here‘s sampling: "Consider the cheese maker . . . who found a dead mouse in the pasturized milk from which he was making up a batch of colby cheese. He scooped the mouse out of the milk and went ahead with his cheese making. Later an outbreak of food poisoning that affected a large number of people was traced to the cheese. The mouse evidently had been suffering from mouse typhoid." There is some humor: ". . . while the milk had been pas teurized, the mouse had not." The Canadian Food Industry says of the book: " . . .
