POPULATION DOUBLED The need for expansion is necâ€" essitated by the large number of apartment projects that the borâ€" ough has allowed to be built in the vicinity of Jane‘Street and Woolner Avenue, doubling the population of the district in the space of two years. _ FEAR UNDERâ€"PAYMENT _ The major fear of the residents ‘ is that they will not be paid enough for their homes to allow them to find a comfortable home elsewhere. Most of the people in these homes have scraped and 18&\'ed to pay for their homes and ] have no desire to find themselves ‘out on the street and starting all ‘over again, with a heavy mortâ€" gage over their head. 1 Rumor has it that homes as far north as Pritchard Avenue may be expropriated to enlarge the school facilities. TO TALK IT OVER |\ _The residents intend to meet | to discuss the situation and form |a committee to ensure that everyâ€" | one gets a fair deal in the negotiâ€" | ations. ‘\ BOARD HAS THE RIGHT | Boards of education have the | right to expropriate homes and | properties wherever they wish in t order to house enlarged school populations. | _ However, it should not be done | at the expense of the people | who have worked hard to pay‘ ‘for their homes and put money | | into the coffers of the borough | and the Board of Education by‘ \ means of tax payments. | I LIBRARIES OPPOSE FEE l, INCREASE | \ _ York Council‘s suggestion that York libraries raise their fecs‘ from 5¢ to 25¢ to help reduce, ; costs. to the borough‘s taxpayers | met with a cold shoulder from ; the Library Board. |_ In a letter to Council the Libâ€" | rary Board pointed out that if | the fee is raised the Board faces the possibility of losing a pr0â€" vincial â€" grant â€" which â€" in 1967 amounted to $109,309. ] The Board believes that a 25¢ |fee would discourage the use of \ libraries by children, especially | from large families with limited financial resources. © Folks living around the George \ _ The six municipal library syâ€" ‘stems in Metro Toronto are now | coâ€"operating with the Metro Toâ€" ‘ronteo Library Board in an atâ€" | tempt to improve and equalize ‘library services throughout the | avea. ‘ Three of the area boards have \done away with the membership \fee and various public library syâ€" | stems in Metro have agreed on i reciprocal borrowing privileges. _ Wedding for Weston couple in Weston Presbyterian _ York residents in the St. Clair area make good use of the two Toronto branches at Bathurst and St. Clair, and Dufferin and St. Clair. York residents also make use of North York facilities at Yorkdale Plaza and Amesbury Park. Toronto _ residents _ west . of Bathurst in the Eglinton area The â€" Bridgmanâ€"Hastings wcd-!man ding was solemnized June 29 in | Fo Weston _ Presbyterian _ Church, | chos when Linda Ann, daughter of Mr. | with and Mrs. George Bridgman of | slee King St. Weston, married An: veil drew Bruce, son of Mr. and Mrs. | and Ronald Hastings of Maple Leaf| and Dr.. also of Weston. | A Performing the ceremony was Rev. Robin Boggs, the organist was Jim Leonard. and the soloâ€" ist was Miss Billie Ann Bridgâ€" Home owners ready to Ml!â€"MWWTMâ€"M.MV“,M make use of York‘s Main Library. Some Etobicoke residents in the Islington area use the Jane Street branch. > YORK‘S FAMOUS HOME There is one home in the borâ€" ough of York that has received more publicity than any other over the past eight years. That residence is the home on King George Drive that was built by former reeve, Chris Tonks, on a closed road allowance, over the objections of his next door neighâ€" Now owned by the borough of: York, this bungalow on a 66â€"foot| lot with private drive and garage, is still up for sale and on Wedâ€" nesday York Board of Control agreed that the place should be repaired to the tune of $1,200, to dress it up and make it presentâ€" able before putting it up for sale under multiple listing at $45,900. The repair work will be done by York‘s plant maintenance and Parks committee. HEALTH CARE FOR OLDER PEOPLE The York Board of Health in fco-operation with the Parks and Recreation Department, hopes to start health centres in the Borâ€" ough for senior citizens later this year. T};ese centres will not provide treatment, or replace the family physician. _ EDh They will offer the services of doctors, nurses and others with counselling and assistance on all matters relating to health and provide periodic health examinaâ€" tions. They will also help citizens make the best use of their comâ€" munity resources. Every citizen should be able to | people who head across the Cily turn to his family physician and | every Wednesday evening to join community resources for help | in the folk singing and hooteâ€" when needed. However, many are | nannies that are held at 8:30 not aware of the health, welfare | p.m. in Riverdale Park. and récreational facilities open t | gyjpE$ ON OTTAWA HOLIDAY them.

The Etobicoke Aquatic Club is using the Smythe Pool each morning during July and August from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. Monday to Friday for the purpose of preâ€" paring 20 of their best swimmers to take part in the Canadian Naâ€" man, cousin of the bride. For her wedding the bride chose a white peau de soie gown, with a lace bodice and bell sleeves. Her shoulderâ€"length pouf veil was centered with stephanotis and she carried sweetheart roses and stephanotis. Attending the bride were the j matron of honor, Mrs. William | Bain. sister of the groom; brides:| maids Mrs. R. Locke and Miss| Jane Bridgman, flower girl Kelly JANE PARK & MOUNT DENNIS by Marion Gundy 762â€"0916 tional Swimming Championships to be held in Winnipeg, August 13 to 17. A ViISIT INTO THE PAST If you are entertaining visitors this summer we know an excelâ€" lent place to start your tour to show off your city. Here, Fathers of Confederation Sir John A. Macdonald, George Brown and Thomas D‘Arcy Mcâ€" Gee addressed Toronto audiences. | MUSIC IN THE OPEN ! Music in the Open Air is alâ€" | ways _ delightful . entertainment and for a relaxing hour there is no better place in the good weaâ€" ther than to listen to the organ recitals in High Park every Sunâ€" lday afternoon at 5:30 p.m., until September. It is the newly renovated St. Lawrence Hall at King and Jarâ€" vis Streets, which was restored in 1967 as a centennial project. Designed by William Thomas, in the Renaissance tradition, it is open to the public daily from 2 to 4 p.m., except Thursday and Friday. The Hall was built by the City of Toronto in 1850 and was for years, Toronto‘s chief social and cultural centre. It ranks among the finest of 19th century Canaâ€" dian public buildings. For those who like the livelier entertainment of band and varieâ€" ty concerts you may choose to visit Earlscourt Park every Sunâ€" day evening at 7:30 p.m. or the Grenadier Pond barge, High Park, at 2:30 p.m. every Sunday afterâ€" noon. FOLK SINGING AND HOOTENANNIES We know a number of young people who head across the city every Wednesday evening to join Six Guides and their captain, Mrs. Karin Krie of the 475th Co. visited Oltawa on the July 1 holiâ€" day weekend. They were billeted by two Oftawa guide companies. The girls saw the capital city at its best but the weatherman let them see what a change in the weather could do for excitement. It rained and stormed. It was cool and then humid, and as an extra bonus to test the Girl Guide motto "Be Prepared" he threw in a tornado. The storm~did quite a lot of damage and left some of the girls stranded, but this didn‘t stop them from thoroughly enjoying their trip. Points of interest were the col orful change of the guard, the Parliament Buildings and the unâ€" veiling of the Mackenzie King statue. The guides had worked very hard in various projects for the past year to earn money for this venture and are eagerly awaiting next summer when the Ottawa guides return their visit. Hales of Oakville, and ring bearâ€" er Lorne Bridgman. The girls\ gowns were all alike: long, mauve and pink printed nyâ€" lon chiffon. with the empire waistlines edged in mauve velvet. The ring bearer wore a white suit. wAtten‘aing the groom were best man William Bain, and ushers E. Windsor and R. Locke. For the reception held at the Constellation Hotel the bride‘s mother wore a lilac crepe dressâ€" coat of cotton brocade in shades of offâ€"white,. lilac and pink. She carried a single orchid.
