| Weston leat itet ts +d Mr. Griffith, 75, worked for 38 years at Acme Screw .and Gear Co., Weston Rd., and was an assembler at the time of his retirement. On September 14, 1918, she and Mr. Griffith were married in Westminster United Church. Mr. Griffith‘s brother, Frank, served as groomsman and came from Detroit, Michigan, to stand by their side once again, 50 years later, at their anniversary ‘(do)’. Mrs. Griffith, 72, was born in Weston (on King St.) and educated in the public school there. The golden : wedding couple cut a cake in traditional style and "are just now finishing it off." Mrs. Lalor, who planned and arranged the celebration for her parents and their friends, made the cake and decorated it, too. Administration centres ahead of new schools Turned on T rudeau Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Griffith, who . live with their daughter Inez Lalor at her home on Burr Ave., North York, entertained 125 guests on the occasion of their 5Oth wedding anniversary last Saturday afternoon and evening. Metro school board expects both York and North York to proceed with new â€" administrative centres for the local scgool boards. This became evident last week as Metro executive committee, with some reluctance, approved the $2,900,000 cost | of Etobicokes‘s new education administrative centre. The main comment from executive committee members appeared to be wires the Griffiths VOL. 7 â€" NO. 38 hing that the Metro and local school boards intend to give a high priority to new adminstrative centres although the need for additional classroom facilities is quite obvious. W.J. McCordic, executive director of the Metro school board said York and North York boards will follow the same three year financing of new administrative centres as Etobicoke. Janeâ€"Woolner homes won‘t be expropriated by board Thursday, September 19, 1968 The mayor proposed his in terâ€"locking «circular subway system because he felt that the present Metro subway .construction program which envisages a 24 mile system ‘serving what he says would be only 40 per cent of the people by 1972, is totally inadequate. Over 20 miles of this system is in the City of Toronto. He also deplored the $423â€"million expenditure involved in building this type of subway system. Mr. Service wants Metro to take â€" advantage of o ntario O Hy‘dro [imes SINGLE COPIES 10 cEentTs Dr. Dymond says the outbreak is completely under control and was never at the state where it could be called an‘alarming epidemic. Ontario . Minister of Health Dr. M.B. Dymond has written the borough of York informing them that the borough‘s concern over a hepatitis epidemic in Yorkville is a flittle premature. Dymond tells York to quit worrying an 11â€" foot strip of land fronting on Weston Rd., which comprises 420 square feet of the Weston Public Library property to the north west. * â€"â€"Planning board had made its decision in spite of the opposition of planning director Peter Allen. 5 Alderman Cy Townsend had agreed with Mr. Allen that this land ~should not be sold and brought council‘s attention to the ruling that all sales of borough land must go to tender. York council on Monday reversed their planning board‘s decinon to _anow‘ \\_lard Funeral Home to purchase Council reverses decision on Weston Library property The mayor saw great advantage in connecting the northerly extension of the Yonge subway and .the Bloorâ€"Danforth subway route ~with routes established on Ontario Hydro rightsâ€"ofâ€"way. 36â€"mile route in Metro‘s three big boroughs, North York, Etobicoke and Scarboro. The new subway system would have a subway route that would stretch right across North York to the north of the Macdonaldâ€" Cartier Freeway north of Sheppard Ave. (Use of hydroâ€"rightsâ€"ofâ€"way for subway â€"routes was considered in 1961 by Metro planners and TTC officials who saw some merit in the idea,. It did not get much beyond the ecarly exploratory stage, During the long wait, one of the homeowners took the initiative of making coffee, and passing it out to the members of the delegation. There was much laughter and joking, which was often sobered by the thought of their coming eviction. ‘"‘It‘s not just: the thought of moving," said Mrs. Evelyn Harris, "it‘s the fact that we have to leave the neighbours." She mentioned that everyond knew one another, and all got along very well. "Money can‘t buy that," she insisted. _ .. s Although she herself is not one of those to be expropriated, she is concerned for the sake of her neighbours. The time kept getting A delegation of 22 waited in front of closed doors for two and a half hours while the Board deliberated. Since Mr. White‘s proposal involved real estate, the discussion was held in a closed meeting. A special meeting of the Board was held last Monday, and the merits of the present plan were discussed. York Council was also opposed to the expropriations, and Controller Phil White, appearing on the behalf of the homeowners submitted an alternate site to the Board. T he spectre of expropriation, which has hung over 42 families in the Janeâ€"Woolner area since early August, has temporarily been lifted by York‘s Board of Education. If the homes are to be saved, another site must be found, but this was impossible, for the York School Board has Metro permission only for an addition to the existing building. "You have to have something to add onto," said trustee Bill Bayes. ‘"We would have to build here." The homes were to be expropriated to make room for a major addition to George Syme public school, whose facilities are no longer adequate. continued on, page. 15 . , By Dolores Schem
