With the eZectinn only a few days away, the presâ€" sure,of campzedigning is having its effect on all involved. Ynfi West is no exception. The candi@ates spoke at several allâ€"party meetings, and were reagpnably well received by audiences about 150 strong. ytired feeling enveloped them, however, and the niufmber of hostile comments that one had grown to expect, in at least this particular campaign, had considerably lessened. CANDIDATES BEGINNING TO TIRE AS ELECTION DAY APPROACHES Phil Giviens, Liberal, told his listeners at G@acefield public school and Yvonne Ave. public school, that when casting their votes they weren‘t just voting for an inâ€" dividual, ‘but for a team. ; LEADERSHIP AN ISSUE â€" Therefote, leadership was also an issue in the election, along with many others. "The leader sets the tone for the party, and sets the guidelines." Pierre Trudeau represents a synthesis of cultures, and can "communicate and stimulate the people. He has cauwsed more interest in politics than any leader we have ever had." His Liberal opponent Phil Givâ€" ens answered that "it is always those who have no chance to be elected that make the most lav ish promises." He, too, considered housing as having the major priority. "I‘ll work to correct the rents, and I‘ll work for a system based on justice and fairness."

He was specially qualifed to look into the housing question, he said, because he had spent nine years in municipal affairs. New Democrat Val Scott said that there were two Canadas in existence; one was ‘our home and native land‘, and the other was Canada in serious trouble. The latter is due to the skyrocketing housing costs, the rising cost of living. the taxation system, and the unemployment which stands at 4.9 p.c. across the country. The unity issue, he said, ~doesn‘t come down to the root of the problem." To him it is the social and economic issues that are the root of the problem. "Let‘s have unity with those who have and those who have not." Mr. Scott went on to say that ordinary homeowners had plenty of problems with their houses. They suffered from bad construcâ€" tion. poor inspection, lack of a guarantee on their purchases, and inadequate police protection. The residents of the Ontario Housing Developments, however, were evâ€" en less well off, he said. "These are not second class citizens, but responsible _ people _ who _ care about their community." vOL. 7 New Democratic candidate Val Scott told residents of the north western part of York West that that were living in "the birth of a slum area, the result of bad planning or no planning at all." The charge was levelled at an all candidates‘ meeting at Greenâ€" holme public school. His comâ€" ment was received with a mixed reaction of indignation. disbelief and agreement by the 150 people present. 7 then advise the province bf its | _ The subject was discussed when results | York council considered the hirâ€" The Communist party uand}ing of an investigaforâ€"clerk in was clarified for York West resiâ€") the bylaw enforcement depart donts hy its leader Wilham Kash \ ment tan.

Gord Risk, who was defeated for the job on the Board of Educa tion by the NDP candidate, claimed that Mr. Scott promised not to enter the federal field during the municipal elections a year and a half ago. "If he is elected®® sdid Mr. Risk, "he‘ll be doing half a job in both places." Communist William Kashtan again stressed the similarity, betâ€" ween the old line parties: "The Liberal policy is the Conservative policy." FLOWER POWER _ Carnations were handed out to the crowd with the compliments of Wes Boddington. The Conservative candidate spoke on the housing crisis, and the ways an urban affairs department could remedy much. "The federal government is not doing enough, and not doing it properly. It is not looking into the future." Dr. Norman Gunn. an independent candidate, made a rare apâ€" pearance at the meeting last Tuesday. He stressed the evils of socialism that started out as government generosity. "Canada is sinking into the insidiousness of creeping socialism." he said. "Before we knew it. we weren‘t getting government assistance, we were getting government control." rq His solution to all the problems are "public ownership and the nationalization of natural resources." This would distribute the wealth of the country more equitable, and the working man would receive a larger share of the wealth that he produces with his hands and brain. meipe raberel it coam en rark o 1978 Weston IT‘$ FUR sTORAGE TIME â€"MWestonTimes NO. 25 BOTH PARTIES SAME TWO CANADAS The Weston Invictus football club has decided to change its name. s They will now be called the York Invictus football club and will play their home games at the new borough of York stadiâ€" um on Porter Ave In a letter to board of control they asked for a grant from the borough of $1,000 York‘s budget has been set for this year but the board recom mended to council a grant of $200 be given the club. a say in technological change and not be victims of it."

A total of 158 homes were ex propriated in order to build the Spadina Expressway states F. D. Cavill, commissioner of property for Metro, in a letter to York‘s Legislative and Property Commit tes. Raw sewage in Humber River is declining says Ross Clark In a report to Metro Works Committee last week the comâ€" missioner said one of the main sources of pollution in the Humâ€" ber River, small overloaded sewâ€" age plants, has been eliminated.

Alderman Ben_Nobleman reâ€" ports that council favours the Joint Use Committee‘s proposal to place the school at the edge of Cedarvale Park‘at the South East corner_ of Arlington and Markdale, using 300 square feet of parkland for playground use. This would mean the demolition of 13 residences Board of Education trustee Jack Young told reporters that the school site had not been chosen and the school boeard has the right to choose any location it desires. He assured residents that the school would be ready for use early in 1970 to accommoâ€" date up to 800 Grade 7 and 8 students. A private war has broken out between borough of York coun: cil and York board of education over the ‘ocation of a proposed senior public school in the east end of the borough A Cardinal visits St. Basil‘s After a joint meeting of Coun: cil and the Board. held in camera on Monday, both sides came out clarming victory.

There‘ are however several borough of York sewers that pour raw sewage into the Humber during heavy rain storms. large Humber sewage treatment plant at the mouth of the Humâ€" ber River. Educaters and councilmen clash over new school site What kind of a person is it who spends two years of his life working for $150 to $300 a month when, as a university graduate he could be earning between $5,000 and $15,000 a year back home? Before completing his education, Eruce said he spent a while takâ€" ing a management training course in a large department store. He hated every minute of it. Overseas he‘ll be with good company. There are 800 Canadian town planners, journalists, nurâ€" ses. teachers, doctors and enginâ€" eers currently serving somewhere in Asia, Africa or South America with CUSO. Wherever he lands in Africa, he expects that he will be thrust into the middle of the communications business. In Kenâ€" vya. there is a transistor radio in almost every hut, Bruce said. Since there are â€"not "nearly enough" radio stations to meet the demand. he hopes that he will be asked to help expand the radio networks and learn a great deal about programming. in teaching. Bruce therefore has recently been lecturing at several schools including Memorial Pubâ€" lic in Weston where this Monday he spent the day teaching social studies, math and spelling. How does a young man come to terms with his personal prinâ€" ciples and those of the governâ€" ment he works for? It is similar to working for the Canada civil service. "‘You may sympathize with social protest but ven > not allowed to take sides," he said. We may get single fares says Hurlburt "He met with all the teachers in the collese, both fathers and brothers." said Brother Terence. spokesman for St. Basil‘s and then he went to the chapel. held a prayer service and toured the school. In the auditorium he was presented with a bouquet of floâ€" wors by little Alexandra Pokor chak, daughter of St. Basil‘s head cook. Mrs. Doris Pokorchak. Af ter a speech of welcome by stuâ€" dent Jerry Marko. the Ukrainian Catholic Youth group from the area made another presentation. A deputation â€"of Home and School representatives from Cedâ€" arvale, Humewood and Wilcox public schools asked council to refuse any delay in building the now senior school. Mrs. Joan Milâ€" ling. president of Cedarvale Home and School said that Humewood. with a school population of 1.100 pupils and Wileox with 800, were fire hazards. She‘ said the deputation‘s main concern was the need for the building of the school to begin immediately so the pupils in the east end of the borough of York would have the same advantage of a senior school and specialist teachers as the students in the western section of the borough. Some time in September the idea of a single transit fare will be considered again by Metro Transportation Committee, North York Controller Gordon Hurlburt said last week. A CUSO _ representative _ Bruce Burgess said he may drop US a line nccasionally. If he does. his letters will be reproduced in this newspaper.
