SECOND $ECTION Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hamilton, and son, David, of Windsor have recently spent a week‘s vacation with Mrs, Hamilton‘s mother, Mrs. Agnes McEachnie of Harding Ave. The congregations of Elverston Park United, and North Park Presbyterian Churches are meetâ€" ing with the Trethewey Park United folks during the month of August. The service is at 11;20 a.m, each Sunday at Trethewey. Miss Betty Wilson, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wilson, of Renfield St., will beâ€" come the bride of Raymond Rasâ€" mussen, at Trethewey Park Unitâ€" ed Church, on September 21. Ottawa‘s $300 million pIani for Malton sparks protests | A $200â€"$300 million expansion to the Toronto International Airâ€" port is getting a lot of mixed reâ€" actions from all concerned. Expansion is being pushed by both Transport Minister Paul Hellyer and Etobicoke Mayor Ed Horton, but everyone from resiâ€" dents to planning board members are raising objections. Westendâ€" ers feel that it will possibly enâ€" danger residents of the area, proâ€" bably bring down the property values, and certainly cause countâ€" less complaints because of the noise. Mayor Horton will meet with Ottawa, Metro and borough offiâ€" cials in an attempt to stop the housing projects being planned adjacent to the airport. He hopes to convince the provincial governâ€" ment to purchase it for parkland. Borough _ planning _ director George Muirhead doesn‘t see soluâ€" tions to what is facing them. "In an urban area a municipality has very little choice in determining land use," he stated. "It appears not to be within the power of the municipality to keep land as agâ€" ricultural, which most of it is reâ€" zoned at present." A zoning change is imperative before building: can start, perâ€" haps next year. In order to transport people from the Islington subway staâ€" tion to the airport, Mr. Horton would like the province to help build a skybus route, to the tune of $25 million.

Planes add a fantastic amount to air pollution, and Tony Donaâ€" hue, a Toronto alderman who specializes in transportation, says they are one of the major causes. He claims that one jet plane takâ€" ing off throws as much pollution into the air as 10,000 cars. Panamanian official studies North York education system Victor Juliao, former Minister of Education for the Republic of Panama, and currently member of a commission to study educaâ€" tional methods abroad, met with administrators of the North York educational system last week. Having a particular interest in voâ€" cational education and retraining programs, Mr. Juliao was quite impressed by his visit to Seneca College of Applied Arts and Techâ€" nology. He hopes some of the North York educational objectives will be given serious consideraâ€" \tion in the reorganization of schools in his own country. 741â€"8288 MWeston Times | _ Although the Ontario Water , Resources Commission encouragâ€" ies municipalities to . separate |their storm and sanitary trunk During violent rain storms and spring thaws, millions of gallons of raw sewage pour out of York‘s old, old sewage system into the Black Creek and Humber River and then on to Lake Ontario. Raw sewage covers front lawns and then pollutes Lake Ontario LAST WEEK‘S FANTASTIC DOWNPOUR conclusively proved that York‘s storm sewer system is one of the worst in Ontario. Raw sewage poured into hundreds of borough basements and kept work crews busy for several days cleaning up the residue. The rain storms had other effects too, such as burstâ€" ing a weak flood sewer at Northland and Leigh Ave. Water torrents carved out a cavern beneath the concrete and asphalt. When this road surface colâ€" lapsed under the weight of a garbage truck men were orderel in to make repairs. lines to prevent poliution of the lake, it will take five to 10 years before York can complete the job. ‘ Last week residents in several areas of the borough complained to the Works Department that the open ditches had flooded, and a deluge of sewage was comâ€" ing up over their property. Roy Sutton, of 914 Keele St., said that the water came up to the verandah, about three feet deep. "It was even deeper than that on the sidewalk, because the houses are built on a slight rise," he explained. It took a truck and four men a day to clean up the sludge and human waste that covered the street and lawns after the flood waters subsided. The problem stemmed from a blockage of the Keeleâ€"Lavender sewer. The borough had built a screen over the entrance to the weir in order to keep children from playing inside it. But the onrush of water during the rain storm last Wednesday completely blocked the outlet with paper and refuse. As a result. the water backed up under the streets, blew up several manhole covers, and pourâ€" ed down the sloping road. The sewer system combines raw sewage and storm waters, and pipes take both to the sewâ€" age plant where the water is treated.

The money for this project will not be available until January, 1969, and the work will not begin until the frost is out of the ground in the spring of 1969.
