Itj is in this area that future interâ€" _A capacity audience at York Memorial Collegiate last week heard proposals for highâ€"rise reâ€" zoning and expressway expanâ€" sion in the Rockeliffeâ€"Harwood area of York Township from their Planning Board. Reaction to the plan among the 700 at the meeting was mixed. Within the pages of this week‘s issue of the TIMES, there are one hundred and one courses you may take. We hope that at least one of these will interest you. The cost of picking up your Grade 13 history to qualify for a Senior Matriculation dipâ€" loma or the price of just takâ€" ing an advanced class in sewâ€" ing for your own pleasure, is one of the few real bargains left in life. The charge for most courses is $5 or $10 with a few as high as $30. In â€" recent years, school board trustees have been reâ€" peatedly amazed at the numâ€" ber of adults who want to extend their education. As a result educators have hired more teachers to teach more courses than ever before. During the next two weeks, thousands of adults will regâ€" ister for evening courses in a score of high schools in North York, Weston, York and Etobicoke. Almost everything you can think of, from cooking and commercial art to chemistry and conversational languages, will be taught in night school through the .classes offered by the four area boards of education.

Stage Three an area south of York Avenue to the south side of Lambton between Bayliss Avâ€" enue and the railway tracks, changes of the Richview Exâ€" pressway and the extension of Highway 400 will be located. The second area lies along the east side of Jane Street between Lambton and Dalrymple Avenue. The ‘"Vote Yes" committee has been planning strategy _ for weeks, but the first public anâ€" nouncement of its campaign was made at Monday‘s council méetâ€" "It sounds like the old case of the ‘do gooders‘ wanting to bring in business when they are the only ones with a big slice of cash at stake," said Rev. Alva Roblin. "I haven‘t seen it myâ€" self, but I understand the petiâ€" tion left an awful lot to be deâ€" sizred. The Ontario liquor interâ€" ests are behind the whole thing and come out under the guise of public progress." The ‘"Vote Yes" committee‘s application has aroused mixed reaction among Weston clergyâ€" men. One of the strongest supportâ€" ers of liquor sales in the dry town was Councillor Bob Macâ€" Pherson. He said some people do their business and hold their banquets in other communities, because Weston has no liquor outlets. ‘"‘People go all over the country to shop so they can buy a case of beer or a bottle of liquor." The petition was presented to council by the ‘"Weston Vote Yes For Liquor Committee" headed by Ernest (Doc) Banting, manager of Weston arena. A petition signed by 1,988 adults was preâ€" sented to council Monday, meaning that the quesâ€" tion of whether the town goes wet or remains dry will be included in the December 5 municipal ballot forms. Weston voters will probably be asked to vote "YES" or "NO" for Liquor in the forthcoming municipal elections. (Continued on Page 12) D. R. G.

Presenting prizes is Rev Bleston Times The last Weston plebiscite was held on Saturday, November 23, the day after President John Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas. The Times reported in that issue that the then "Vote Yes" committee blamed the cold weather and television coverage of the president‘s death for the lack of ‘"Vote Yes" voters at the polls. Of most of the six questions The "Vote Yes" committee is reasonably confident of getting the 60 per cent vote, essential for retail liquor sales. If and when all the names are proven genuine, which none on council doubted, it will be certified by the town clerk and the question will be put on the ballot. Carrying the vote in favor of the,. time pronsimgg.s scfhe check were: Councillors Perry, Lloyd Sainsbury, Edwin Hodges and James Trimbee. Replied the mayor: ‘"‘We‘re only cireumventing a lot of work as far as I am concerned." Councillor â€" Perry barked at the mayor: "It is not the way that it should be done. You and I both know it. It is a cireumâ€" vention of a certain situation." Boddington said it wasn‘t neâ€" cessary to check the petition, after the "vote Yes‘" committee told council that every effort was made to ensure that all signatures were signed by Wesâ€" ton residents over 21. Mayor Wes Boddington and Counciliors _ MacPherson and Wilfred Reeves argued against authenticating the names beâ€" cause the task will take weeks and will come dangerously close to the deadline for compiling voter lists. On receipt of the petition, council debated on whether the names should be crossâ€"checked with the assessment rolls. The committee contends that Weston needs liquor outlets to encourage commercial hotel type projects which will attract busiâ€" ness and conventions.
