Metro‘s legislation and planning committee wants information from a number of U.S. and Canadian cities on their experience with a three percent hotel room tax before it supports York Controller Phil Whites idea to have it applied in the Metro area. Metro will use water washing facilities in the new Dufferin St. incinerator in North York in an effort to keep any air pollution within limits of existing regulaâ€" tions. Metro planners are not going along with North York‘s idea that private golf courses should be bought up by Metro if they are being threatened with possible development plans. Metro‘s attitude, which will be maintained, is to treat each golf course, that is on the brink of becoming a residential subdivision on its own merits. It may be bought or then again it may not. The Metro parks commissioner indicated that he has had some previous experience with York‘s weed inspector and doesn‘t intend to have them again. Metro Licensing Commission is starting to move in on the house repair rackets going on in the Metro region. They have over 215 complaints on file, have been able to get sizeable sums of money returned to home owners and plan to lay charges against several persons in the futâ€" ure. Metro was worried last week that somebody had walked off with some of the desks that the York Counâ€" ty judges used in the old city hall before they moved to the new courthouse. Somebody had. It turned out the judges themselves owned some of the desks. x For North York the Metro planners show a popuâ€" lation of 396,000 while Metro assessors have come up with 392,000 an increase of 26,000 over last year. The difference in population figures could be in part dus to the fact that the Metro planners were using a Domâ€" inion census while Metro assessors used their own count. Mr. Mould‘s concern was that he didn‘t want to see the site turned into a patch of weeds. Mr. Thompson said he has sufficient material to kill weeds and intendâ€" ed to grow turf on the site. The turf would probably be used at various municipal golf courses and in other park sites. Y a. s Metro planning board and Metro assessment deâ€" partment need to get together on their population staâ€" tistics. The planners have just issued a pamphlet showâ€" ing York with a population of 144,000. Metro assesâ€" sors who make a door to door check have a total popâ€" ulation for the borough of 139,804 and showing a slight drop in population over last year. York Mayor Jack Mould found out last week what Metro intends to do with about 200 acres of former market land it has expropriated at Jane Street and Egâ€" linton Ave. Metro will grow sod on the site. This was confirmed by Metro Parks Commissioner â€" Thomas Thompson last week. The land was part of a parcel of property acâ€" quired by Metro for a combination of flood control, parkland and expressway route purpose some time ago. Mr. Thompson said the 200 acres consists of black muck six feet in depth which provides unstable land. Metro‘s electronic control of traffic signals has been in progress for three years. So far 460 main trafâ€" fic intersections out of about 700 in the Metro area are connected to the computer control system. Within three years the remaining intersections should be conâ€" nected. North York Controller Gorden Hurlburt told Metro Transportation Committee last week that Metro wasn‘t keeping up with the demand for traffic lights at intersections on main streets. Metro installed 25 last year and has budgeted to put in 34 this year. Metro Transportation Committee has directed that Eglinton Ave. be declared a controlled access road from Bicknell Ave. to Weston Road. This gives Metro authority to prohibit or allow any private or public exits and entrances on to Englinton Ave. York controlâ€" ler Philip White had a long chat with Metro Assessâ€" ment Commissiqner A. J. B. Gray last week during a quiet m»omc;nt in the Metro Council session. They talkâ€" ed not about assessment but the old days when the Metro commissioner was a reeve of York Township. North York Mayor James Service recently asked why Metro school board officials didn‘t try classes in shifts to meet the acute accommodation problem. The board chairman told him that it was a poor way to teach the children. Looking at the Metro school board‘s needs for this year the North York mayor said he got the impression that the Metro school board was spendâ€" ing so much money that it was trying to land someone on the moon.

Amesbury‘s scorers in this same were Phil Elliott, Reno Bigattini, and Vince Magicomo. a very exciting game, and one in which Amesbury played their best of the season, only to lose to Lawrence Park 4 to 3. With less than a minute to play, and the score 3 to 2, Lawâ€" rence Park pulled their goalie. The eager boys from Amesbury, who were playing the league leaders, took advantage of the situation and Phil Elliott put the puck in the open net. Ron Skinner and Jim Grice were the other two goal getters for Amesbury. Despite the snow and the fact that spring examinations are on, both teams were able to get their teams to North Toronto Arena on Monday night for the second Zame of the semiâ€"finals. A good number of fans turned out to see Steelworkers Win 1st Game in Semis _ Phil Elliott‘s two goals in the first game of the semiâ€"finals, sparked the Amesbury‘s Steelâ€" workers team to a 4 to 2 win over Lawrence Park in the finst semiâ€" fil}'al_ game of the P.Y.C. league.

There is also to be a display of Iudian Crafts. f MAPLE LEAF | ‘ and | _AMESBURY _ Somewhere in an old accounts kept in the 300â€"year post, Jimmy Watt stumbled onto a document which indicated that at one time Rupert‘s House Indians would trap and sell 55,000 beaver pelts a year. It suggested that thousands of Indians should be helped by the Federal government to move from depressed Indian reserves into the main stream of Canadâ€" ian society. To integrate and educate the Indian may cost sevâ€" eral hundred million dollars, the report said, but it would be worth it. The average earnings of Indâ€" ians in 35 different bands is a shocking $300 a year the report found, compared to a national average income of $1,400. Jimmy, said Father Grenon, during the 1940‘s was manager of the Hudson Bay Post at Ruâ€" pert‘s House. He was deeply concerned about Indian of Rupert‘s House. Some were making $85 a year and the HBC was considering closing up shop since the post was feeling the impact of a deâ€" pressed area. A story told to me during my three day visit to Moosonee and Moose Factory makes one wonâ€" der if it is truly necéessary to move the Cree Indian from the land he was born and reared. The story, related by Rev. Gasâ€" ton Grenon, supervisor of the Oblate Mission in Moosonee, is about Jimmy Watt, a man Father Grenon considers the "Father of Conservation in Canada. By BARRY HOLMES This week, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Developâ€" ment Arnthur Lang released Volâ€" ume One of a threeâ€"year study on the plight of Canada‘s 210,000 Indians. Saturday, March 4, the Parents Centennial Group of Hardington School will have two showings, one at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. for "Old Yeller" (This is not the one the children have recently seen on TV) Refreshments will ‘be sold. This group will be havâ€" ;in:g movie afternoons for the folâ€" lowing two Saturdays, so watch _my column for details. EUCHRE AND BRIDGE The Hardington Group, in order to raise funds to send their grade 5 and 6 students to "Expo‘‘ will have a Euchre and Bridge night at the school on Wednesâ€" day, March 15. Tickets $1.90. Reâ€" freshments will be served. I have been particularly asked to extend an invitation to the neighbourâ€" ing Maple Leaf and Amesbury area, to ‘have an evening of enâ€" joyment, and help the parents in this worthwhile project. "FLYâ€"Aâ€"CLEANâ€"FLAG" Throughout the C ente nnial Year, 1967, it is hoped that many homeâ€"ownens will get in the swing and fly flags. Good news too! ! The flags will be kept clean "free of charge" by the Toronto Divisâ€" ion of the, Dry Cleaners and Launderers Institute of Ontario, as their Centennial Project. Citiâ€" zens are urged to have flags that become dirty through weather, etc., removed during the year and cleaned without cost and restored to their flying positions, sparkâ€" ling clean. by Peg Grant 241â€"5978 On Friday, March 3 (tomorrow night at 7:30), Elverston Park will present a movie night featurâ€" ing Haley Mills and Rosiland Russell in "The Trouble With Angels." This is an excellent family movie, and it is hoped that it will attract a great number of adults, as well as the students and children. MmoVIES With no movie theatres within easy reach of the people of our area, different groups have found that they can serve the area, and also help worthwhile projects at the same time. Winner of the two red tickets to Maple Leaf Gardens on Mar. 4 was J. Bigattini, Olympia Drive, and his son, being the selâ€" ler of the winning ticket gets 2 "blues‘‘ for the game on March to defray the cost, so that each of the boys will receive a free dinner. Officials are very disâ€" appointed indeed at the poor reâ€" sponse from the boys and their parents in the selling of tickets, and it is quite possible, from the way things look at present, that they may be in the hole to a tuns of about $200. As in many orâ€" ganizations where children are involved, parents seem very unâ€" interested, and unwilling to coâ€" operate. It‘s the same old story â€" the same few parents have to carry the load for all. The boys can thank the dedicated few for the opportunities offered to them. This is How the Beaver Population Began to Multiply and Then Die Again Within a few years, says Fathâ€" er Grenon, the beaver again beâ€" gan to multiply. Just as the fur industry began to look promisâ€" ing, Jimmy Watt died. The HBC then took over administration of the beaver conservation area, but without a Jimmy around to perâ€" sonally visit the dams and count the beaver population, trappers again prematurély moved in and again killed off what could have been a very promising enterâ€" prise. Father Grenon was asked if beaver industry could not be reâ€" Schools in the Montreal area are being closed from the first of May, so that they may be able to accommodate students. This group will be billetted in a conâ€" vent, and plans have been made for the students to enjoy French Canadian hospitality and food. They will be treated to meals in French restaurants. Jimmy therefore thought if the fur trapping industry could be revived, there would be ligitiâ€" mate work for the Indian trapâ€" pers and the people would once again prosper. Then the Hudson Bay outpost would remain and the Indians could purchase equipâ€" ment and foodstuffs, essential to survival in an Arctic climate. Father Grenon explained that the beaver, is one of the few fur bearing animals in the Canada northland which has no natural enemies. Most of the others he said, swell and drop in povulaâ€" tion in seven year cycles which invariably means a feast and famine for the hunter. Jimmy, says Father Grenon, hired an Indian "to protect Canada‘s first fur conservation area." The Indian thought Jimâ€" my was out of his mind to pay a man money for not trapping beavers but decided to take the assignment because the money looked good. Jimmy sold his idea to the Quebec government and was given the land between the north shore of the Rupert River north to the south shore of the Eas: main River on the east shore of James Bay to increase the beaver population. The Parents‘ Centennial Group have arranged a bus for the stuâ€" dents, who will leave Toronto early on Thursday morning May 11, arriving at noon in Montreal, when they will spend the balance of the day on a tour of the city. By PEG GRANT Due to the efforts of Hardingâ€" ton Public School Principal Jim Bailey, and a group of parents calling themselves the "Parents Centennial Group," a group of 30 Grade 5 and 6 students from the school will have the opporâ€" tunity to visit "Expo 67" for two days. A grant of $50.00 per classâ€" room is given by the Board of Education (with 2 classrooms inâ€" volved Hardington will receive $100.00), to help with the cost of $35.00 per person for the trip which_ will last two nights and three days. The Dodger organization would like to thank the Ken Johns Mens Wear, the Collis Mens Wear and the Saxson Shop of Thistletown who have so kindly donated The 3 stars of the game were Ford, Roy and Don Thompson. IN THE DRESSING ROOM: The third period saw each team score three times. The Dodgers built up a 6â€"2 lead on goals by Roy his second Parham and Stevens, Jacobs, Hancock and again Demchuk closed the gap to 6â€"4. Referee Sandy Proctor had the game well under control calling just 7 minor penalties in this fast Jr. ‘"B" game. Shots on goal in this game pretty well tell the story as Weston outshot the Indians 41â€"32. By BILL UPTON Well play â€" off time is here again and from the looks of last Friday‘s game it means just that. Weston won the first game by a score of 64 but the series is far from over. The 2 teams settled down to typical Indian â€" Dodger play. Fast, good checking and hard shooting. The first period was scoreless as both teams seemed content to find out how each other were physically. Cole in the nets for Indians and Cropper for the Dodâ€" gers sparked with some fine saves. The Dodger drew first blood in the second period, Gary Ford conâ€" necting on passes from Roy and Stevens at the 5 minute mark. One minute later Steve McDonald made it 20 taking a nice pass from Tom Cowan and going in all alone, drew Cole out and fired the disc into the empty net. At the 11 minute mark, Demchuk closed the gap to 21 but Dave Roy made it 3â€"1 to end the scoring in the second period. Brookhaven and Hardington Grade Sixers To Sleep in Convent During Expo Visit 1st Game in Playoffs: Dodgers 6, Indians 4 If your children are under 12, there‘s a chance that they may get an unusual birthday present â€" a free meal. It‘s all part of a community effort by a chain of restaurants that has resulted, so far, in the company giving away tons of free food. The birthday idea came from Harold Shneer, the youthful president of Red Barn Restaurants. vived. He replied that the Quebâ€" es‘ government took back the lands administered by Jimmy Watt and the HBC. He added that Quebec is currently planâ€" ning to build up the fur bearing population again although he couldn‘t name the date when the program would begin. Jimmy Watt also founded a canoe factory, said Father Grenâ€" on, which is still in operation. Each time the Rupert‘s House band put the finishing touch to the 100th cance, the Indians would have a big feast. It gave them the incentive to finish off another 100 canoes so they could have another feast, he said. The cost of transportation, meals, accommodation, and passâ€" ports are all included in the total cost per student of $35.00. The students will raise $17.50 or of the cost themselves.
