Than Ours University Women Told Weston and District Women‘s University Club met last Wedâ€" nesday evening in Central United Church. The speaker was Eugene Morrison from the federal Dept. of Indian Affairs. ‘ Mr. Morrison entered the deâ€" partment 18 months ago after teaching in Quebec where part of his responsibilities was to integrate Indians into his school. One of the things hampering Indian education. is the | great scarcity of trained teachers, he said. Another is that the Indians, with their great love and apprecâ€" iation of all forms of life, do not feel that our values are better. 3 Indians Feel Their Values Better Most~»*Indian children leave school at Grade 7 or 8. By this time they have often lost pride in their heritage. Those who do go on to further their education and must leave home to go to larger centres have trouble firdâ€" ing boarding houses. This need is so acute that church residentâ€" Barristers â€" Solicitors 1944 Weston Road Opposite: John Street Weston, Ont. ...

Mr. Morrison said he believes the Indians should be given some training in political skills so they will be able to organâ€" ize better and look after their own needs. \ The next meeting of the club will be Wed. . April 26, when the group will celébrate their birthday in the church Ladies‘ Parlor, secretary Mrs. Evelyn Goodard announced. $600 and extra taxes of $400. This year new costs of $1,080 for snow removal and $3,153 for administration have been added. In total increased cost to this lot of $6,253 have been True Story . . . In 1966 the John St. lot had a loss of $6,558 which was offâ€" set by parking meter revenue of $7,424. This year parking meter revenue will not absorb the added gosts. In 1966 revenâ€" ue fromâ€"thisâ€"lot based â€"on an hourly rate of 10 cents and a monthly parkingâ€"rate of $5_reâ€" sulted in revenue of $15,933. in 1967 budgeted revenue of $18,â€" 000 is based on an hourly cost of 15 cents and a monthly rate of $8. The Weston Businessâ€" men‘s Association offered to guarantee the expected‘ 1967 revenue of $18,000 the Borough of York Parking Authority hope to derive from the John St. lot, if the hourly rate was reduced to 10 cents per hour. The Parking Authority turned this offer down. With an 8% loss in hourly parking in 1966 and the new free lot establishâ€" ed at Weston Rd. and King St. last year, the hourly parking loss at this increased rate could be 15% this year. Since each hourly parker in the John St. lot represents a customer to the businesses on Weston Rd., the merchants are necessarily concerned with the drop in hourly parkers in 1966. The increased hourly cost in 1967 may result in less cusâ€" tomers using the John St. lot and consequently less business being conducted in Weston. The merchants who put $70,000 into the John St. lot do not feel the Borough of York Parking Authority is acting in the best interests of the Weston busiâ€" ness community, nor the taxâ€" payers who would have to shoulder added taxes if costs of parking in the Borough exâ€" zeedâ€"revenveto theâ€"pointâ€"of five other parking lots in Wesâ€" Â¥on that were tfown controlled. At this date no department of the Borough of York look after the maintenance of these lots. The Municipal Act places the responsibility on the Parking Authority and it is my intenâ€" tion to pursue this at Council serve. _ The Parking Authority of the Borough of York have not asâ€" sumed responsibility for ‘the level.

Five years later he joined the British army, atâ€" tained the rank of Sgt.â€"Major and took his discharge in 1960.
