IN MEMQRIAM One of the biggest switches in the history of York came.about on Monday when council voted‘ 10 to 1 in favour of the use of the cut and cover method to build the Spadina Expressway through the Cedarvale park ravine. Ward 6 alderman, James Trimbee, was the only one to stand by his conâ€" viction that a tunnel under the park wasn‘t the solution to the parks problem. CIRCUS ATMOSPHERE In a circus atmosphere of 200 irate ratepayers, TV cameras and flashing bulbs, York miyor Jack Mould, in a surprise move, informed the standing room only audience of his reversal in thinkâ€" of his statements to the homeâ€" owners last Tuesday evening. sayâ€" ing that he wasn‘t a mountain â€" that he could be moved. Mr. Mould stated that he had used the ratepayers groups as a sounding board and was very concerned about allegations that he had ulterior motives in urgâ€" ing expropriation of these homes. He said he had studied the quesâ€" tions thoroughly, as well as the wishes of the people, and thereâ€" fore moved that York council reâ€" quest Metropolitan council to look at the feasibility of use of the $5 when building the Spadina Exâ€" ;rc:ny through > Cedarvale ark. 3 Dramatic Vote Switch Saves 200 Homes from Demolition husband To remember my whole life through, But the sweetness lingers forâ€" ever As I cherish the image of you.

Speculators and real estate agents sometimes infer, he said, that other persops on the street, or nearby, are using the properâ€" ties for two family occupancy. The offer to purchase does not show what type of house is beâ€" ing sold PREVIOUS DECISION Since 1958 < succeeding York councils have gone along with the plans of Metro Toronto to expropâ€" riate almost 200 homes, three churches and several businesses to make way for small parkettes to replace land lost in Cedarvale On Monday, York council statâ€" ed ‘that it still wants parkland replaced by Metro on an acre for zcre basis. This would mean that a 1v acre flat park could be aevei oped on top af the Spadina exâ€" pressway. However, no decision was reached as to the additional 3% acres of parkland that will be lost. . At its evam'mg:m_eetm, council suggested replacing these 3% acres of park in the Rawlinâ€" son area where there is a great deficiency of parkland. BODDINGTON SWITCHES TOO At ‘the last Board o# Control meeting, controller Wes Bodding: ton had been an exponent for conâ€" tinuing with expropriation of these homes for parks but he ton changâ€" ed his mind. He said that the people had convinced him into PRESSURE ON COUNCIL In recent weeks, pressure from several lobbying groups of rateâ€" payers and politicians has been exerted on York council to make Most vehement was York Board of Education trustee, Jack Young, who said that earlier this week the best method so he would vote Bylaw Boss Wants TREB To Amend Purchase Form Hardington & Brookhaven Jean Rhodes York Wants Civic Centre Too hopes that it will be included in this municipal centre.

Mr. Roxborough : wants the Toronto Real Estate Board to amend the purchase offer form to indicate the type of house beâ€" ing offered: whether it is a oneâ€" family, converted one â€" family for two family occupancy, duplex or triplex. â€" This would protect the proâ€" spective buyer against making a deposit on a home and then findâ€" ing out that he had been misled about the use that he can make of its facilities. A TREB spokesman said that there is no zoning legislation on the foum. Mayor Jack Mould had requested him not to become involved in this. Mr. Young said, "Who is Jack Mould kidding? He has been a builder and knows that property has appreciated 50 p.c. in the last three years and that in 10 years time you won‘t be able to expropriate these properties for $10 million. Besides, who knows who. will be on council to make decisions in 10 years time." Mr. Young expects the Spadina Expressway to depreciate land values in the whole of wards 1 and 2 so much that people will be glad to sell their home. Then developers would go in and build high rise apartments. He said that he can see no other reason for the mayor approving these expropriations . These small parkettes would become empty patch parks for dogs to run in, he said. RATEPAYERS SPEAK Miss Sadie Sherman, spokesâ€" woman for Humewood Ratepayers Association, stated that she was sure that if York doesn‘t desigâ€" dents resent the attempt of some council members to oppose the seving of Cedervale Park. He said you just.cannot replace one of the few natural resources of suggested that York make use of sium areas for their needed park centre for active and passive reâ€" creation for the entire area. Chairman David Satok of Cedarâ€" 741â€"8288 By HARVEY HIGGINS We hear from businessmen trom time to time it will be necâ€" essary to retrain workers at least once in their working life. The Department of Education does not have a curriculum or diploâ€" ma courses in commercial and technical subjects available for persons atterding adult educaâ€" tion, formerly night school. The Department of Education over the years has recognized night school as arefre€her type of training, hobby or general interest courses. The Weston Ob\e;i To aid students, some of adâ€" joining communities such as Torâ€" onto, Etobicoke and North York have initiated programs called certified courses that are recogâ€" The mobility of workers these days require that a program of this nature be province wide in stead of operating on a local level. pized locally. To complement the day time training a Department of Education guided curriculum is needed across the province for adult education. ____ The Metropolitan School Board recently authorized the introâ€" duction of junior kindergarten rooms for four â€" year â€" old youngâ€" sters. The taxpayers are asked to extend the school age requiring new facilities, while existing faâ€" cilities are not being used to the maximum availability for adult training. : If this country is to progress, we require the school system to broaden its operation so workers can be retrained or upgraded to be able to advance with the changes in industry, It has been said that York University and Ryerson Polytechnical Institute will have more night schoo stuâ€" dents than day school students. The need is there, yet the proâ€" fessional educators in our public; sehool system are not accepting the challenge. | __To fill this vacuum in the eduâ€" cational field, could the Board of Education. for the Borough of York thrugh their committees and officials look into this and request the Department of Eduâ€" cation to promote this type of program? The vacant lot on Church St. at the railway tracks has become a catch â€" all for rubbish and brokâ€" en down cars. Would it be possiâ€" ble for the Works Department to take the necessary steps to clean this situation up and to prevent any further dumping? ‘To improve the appearance of the Town, we draw to the attenâ€" tion of the lawmakers that there are cases where householders have one or several disabled cars parked in their driveways while owning a serviceable car. This could depreciate the adjoining properties and should be up to the Municipal Officials to discourage this type of operation. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is planâ€" ning to establish regional "sea area‘‘ commissions to protect and develop the resources of the world‘s oceans. The sea areas will be open to fishermen of all UN nations on a regulated basis. If $7,500.000 can be spent for cut and cover to save a Loblaws parking lot when the Spadina Exâ€" pressway is built, surely $5.000,â€" 000 can be spent to save Cedarâ€" vale Park, he stated. Mr. Satok reported that with over 8,000 families awaiting pubâ€" lic shelter. it is inconceivable that one, let alone 185 homes could be demolished for any reaâ€" One man alone was not afraid to stand up against all the aweâ€" 6 alderman James Trimbee. He stood firmly in opposition to 200 angry ratepayers and York counâ€" cil who solidly voted the other way. Mr. Trimbee spoke for the moâ€" tion to acquire these homes for parkland where it is desperately needed. He said that Weston, with 16.000 people, has 50 acres of parks, of four acres of park for a 1000 people. In Humewood â€" and Rawlinson with 21,000 people, there is only a half acre of parkland.
