He was active in many organi- zations and was responsible for forming many of them. The Weston tennis club grew from this association and was quite active. The tennis courts Were, unfortunately, destroyed by "Hurricane Hazel" in 1954, , Harvey Higgins, former school trustee, outlHed the need for such an organization. It was most important, he said, that there be lines of communica. tion between the public and the borough heads. Mr. Higgins planned to have officials come hefore the associa. tion, and have their department heads outline their functions. and the plans.

The executive is awaiting a request from York Council. “If York Council asks us not to proceed with the land acquisi- tion we will consider the request," said the Metro chairman. It was suggested by Metro Chairman William Allen and other borough mayors that Metro pay over $4,000,000 to York to go into a park-acquisition fund rather than proceeding to acquire sites at this time. l During the depression years, 1 the Weston Workingman's Associ- lation was formed, of which he 1 was assistant secretary. l Mr. Loose was an active mem. iber of the Weston Horticultural Society and the Masonic Order of Arictoria Lodge No. 474. 'Yorpk Mayor J aek Mould said the acquisition of housing in York to form the new neighborhood parks has created "quite a stir" in the borough. Metro Exedutive Committee last week indicated appreciation of York's problem. Metro agreed in 1962 to replace the parkland lost to the express- way on sites picked by York. Ac- quisition of the land and demoli- tion of the dwellings was to take place by 1970. This was before the housing crisis reached such proportions. Pallbearers Were G, Braby, R. Mtrusley, J. Burgess, S. Green. wood, E. Turner and P. Pollock. He said there should be few meetings, and short, but to the point. Mr. Higgins said he would try his best to publicize their next meeting, in September. He relied on newspapers, word-of-mouth, and handbills to get the as'socia- tion to the attention of the public. The proposal to demolish hous- ing on four sites in York to ereate 13 acres of park land as a re- placement for the loss ot Cedar- vale Park land to the Spadina Expressway could be postponed for up to 10 years. association he said, and he now knew that it was an organized body to which the borough Coun- cil looks. _ The funeral service was con- ducted at 11 km.

Miss Sherman was spokesman for over 40 disgruntled Cedarvale area ratepayers present, who through pressure, hope to stop the Metro Works Commission from carrying out its plan to ex- propriate 200 homes in the Cedar- vale area to replace the 13-acre Cedarvale parkland needed for the Spadina Expressway. .

The decision will probably be made when council meets August 14. As chairman of the parks com- mittee, Alderman Leonard Geary requested council to wait for the committee report. Although several council mem. bers u ould like to have a resolu- tion passed immediately, stopping the expropriation, it was decided to wait until the parks commit- tee meets and diseusses alterna- tive plans. Hel ieitifirt York should accept the otfered, park settlement of $4,000,000 and use it to place the parks "where We need them." Alderman Ben Nobleman has decided the cut and cover method is the solution and said, "Let's kill two birds with one stone and save 10 acres of parkland." He would like York to put all its eggs in one basket, and use the cut and cover method. Mr. Tanks asked that council agree to no park acquisition in the Humewpod area. . "Let [resolution be passed to. day that you won’t expropriate our homes. We do not want any parklands on home sites in our area." York Alderman Chris Tonks said these people are sitting on a powder keg, not knowing, whether their homes are going to be eh" propriated. But Miss Sherman replied, "Please lift the dark clouds from the heads of these people.
