Ever rising real estate taxation is hurting the homeowner to no end. Many thousands of homeowners in the North York, Weston and York township areas, are pensioners livâ€" ing on fixed incomes. Thousands more are young couples with heavy financial _ committments and _ with children who need food and clothâ€" ing. as well as love and affection. Ten years ago, these people paid an average of $250 in taxes on their homes and today they pay beâ€" tween $450 and $600 a year. At Weston and North York council meetings last week, most of the politicians agreed, that the proâ€" vince should foot 80 per cent of the education bill, so that the homeownâ€" er will be afforded some tax relief. Of every municipal tax dollar collecâ€" ted in Metro, half goes to build and maintain schools and to pay teachâ€" ers‘ salaries. The main reason for this serious increase. the municipal politicians like to point out, is the spiraling cost of education.

Von Schirach was expected to retire to a small house near Munich where his three sons and daughter hope he will have a restful evening to his life. Hess, however, will be the most expensive prisoner since Napoleon at Elba and one of the Other countries $6.00 the others, came from North York Controller Irving Paisley. _ _ _ Paisley reminded his fellow members that the only way Ontario can take over the cost of education, is to raise provincial sales and inâ€" come taxes â€" a move that wouldn‘t go down too well in the next provinâ€" cial election. Instead of signing a petition urgâ€" ing a provinciial takeover of educaâ€" tion. North York should get together with other Ontario municipalities, and form a committee which would make a scientific study on w ho should pay what education taxes, he reasomed. Presented with a soundly docuâ€" mented report, the controller said, the province would be obligated to take steps so that pensioners won‘t be forced to sell their homes because they have been literally taxed out of them. The TIMES agrees. Paisley‘s apâ€" proach on solving a very serious problem will accomplish a good deal more than the petition presented to Queen‘s Park with the signatures ‘"Weston" and "North York" attachâ€" ed to it.

Although this cost is borne by the West German Government as war reparations, the four warâ€" time victors, United States, Rusâ€" sia, Britain and France, share the cost of rotating monthly guards.

It has been long recognized that swimming is one of the most beneficial forms of exerâ€" cise, mainly because the body is well supported all over while But I must ask your pardon for plugging my own particular recreation group the most. My only excuse is that the "York Subâ€"Aqua Club" provides healthâ€" ful activity all year for the whole family 10 to 60 years of age. I would like to draw attention of the Westonites to the organâ€" ized recreational activities availâ€" able in York and to the people of Weston who will be residents of the New Borough of York. These activities range from Friendship and Senior Citizens Groups for the older people, down to through the age groups with Bands, Majorettes for the girls and Hockey for boys and small fry. is well supported all over while in the water. Skin and Scuba diving is purely an extension of the sport of swimming, but withâ€" out the same degree of exertion necessary. It is not a competiâ€" tive sport, but rather a relaxâ€" ing form of recreational activity that stresses coâ€"operation with other divers. The oldest diver I have heard of is a gentleman of 70 years.

Labor, according to the dictionary, means, physical or mental exertion; work; toil. While I may not be a lathe operator, my job does entail labor, and therefore I feel entitled to sympathize and criticize those of us who need a little sympathy and In Ontario, there is a great debate on the rights of labor. In the centre of this debate. there is the injunction â€" a tool which can be used by management to limit the number of pickets marching up and down in front of the gates of an industria! plant. If management can offer the judge any sort of proof that the strikers are behaving like animals instead of men, if it can prove that the plant gates are being blocked so that goods and those who want to work cannot get through the judge will usually limit the number of strikers to three or less at each gate. "Unfair!!!", screams labor, "managament uses the courts as a tool to win the strike. The law must be chanâ€" ged." To my knowledge however, labor has never offered an alternative to a law which it says is unjust and reâ€" stricts the rights of labor. No government in Canada can condone violence, and so long as strikers curse and swear and manhandle those who choose to continue working inâ€" side the gates, there must be a law to maintain the peace. I know that if a group of neighbors ever attempted to block passage to my home, I would have no alternative but to phone the police. I think that labor certainly has a right to complain about the strike injunction, because management can ap» pear before a judge and obtain an injunction without knowledge of the union or the strikers. fair That‘s The Way ... N3 judge and no court, in my opinion. can make a and just decision until both sides of the case are heard. It is my belief therefore, that ex parte injunctions (Continued on page 7) by Frazer Cache The Injunction: Capitalist Tool Or A Fair Law? A. G. STANDING, TOWNSHIP CLERK. Att £\ 6 A
