The Town has ordered the owner of an Automotives Supply Company to move out of his business location at the rear of 119 Church Street as soon as possible. In answer to a legal opinion as to the legality of the operaâ€" tion of the business, Council ordered the removal of the busiâ€" mess, Monday night, during the regular meeting of Council. ‘DRAG RACES PANIC RESIDENTS The location was once used by the Moore Business Forms Comâ€" pany under a nonâ€"conforming term of a bylaw. The existing bylaw restricts the type of buildâ€" ing in the area to single family dwellings, but was passed after the Moore Business Forms Comâ€" pany was already in business in the location.

Council also agreed they have put up with the ‘nuisance‘ for ‘20 years‘. The council is asking opinions from legal advisors and from local doctors on which to base a report which may end in the closing of the Canadian Gypsum Company Limitéd plant in Wesâ€" ton. During the current term of Council, Councillior Robert Macâ€" Pherson, a resident of the area in which the plant is located, has led a regular attack againâ€" st the air pollution he says is caused by the factory‘s smokeâ€" stack and storage piles. He had more ammunition when a letter was received in Council, Monâ€" day night, from the Local Board of Health. ; The lettef read, ‘"The local Board of Health at its meeting held on the 12th . .. passed the following resolution; "Resolâ€" ved that the Council be inforll:d that the smoke and fumes emanâ€" ating from "the factory of the Canadian _ Gypsum _ Company Limited on Oak Street are an intolerable hazard to health and to the knowledge of this Board noégmpnnblo situation exists in the Province . .~." * Apparently proving that the fumes and material are a health Council wondered if the reâ€" commendation ® of local doctors was enough to prove the plant pollution is a hazard to health, and not just a ‘nuisance.‘ After this company moved out, Town To Evict Auto Parts Shop Can Close Gypsum Plant If Health Danger Found the land was used by a food catering concern. This use was illegal but no effort was made to remove the food business. After the catering company vacated the premises it was taken over by G. F. Automotives Supply Company, owned by a Mr. Farrell. According to a legal opinion on the use of the building by the supply company, ‘"The preâ€" sent use . . . seems to be quite a different kind of use from the food catering use or the Moore Business Forms use and thereâ€" fore the premises have lost the protection of the Moore Business Forms nonâ€"conforming use. In our view," read the letter from a law firm, "this present use is ilegal and could be restrained by the Municipality." hazard is the clinching blow.

Frank Lowthian, Building Inâ€" spector, reported to Council that new residential dwellings have accounted for $15,110, worth of building permits issued during January 1964, while a store alâ€" teration ($2,400) and signs ($500) have brought the total amount of building in the area to $18,010. L ast year, in January, only $3,500 worth of permits were issued. phate, were found to be injurâ€" ious to health. The plant was closed, within a year after the start of operaâ€" tions, by the Local Board of Health of the Village. It was closed by Dr. E. Noble, Medical Officer of Health, after an inâ€" spection by himself and the Vilâ€" lage Building Inspector. Median Strips Planned To Protect Drivers Later Dr. Noble allowed the plant to carry on some operaâ€" tions which did not cause smoke but the plant was soon closed by its owners. A median strip of concrete and lane markings may be placed at the base of the CPR overpass bridge crossing Weston Ro a d near Humberview Cresâ€" cent, according to :a recommenâ€" dation by Police to Town Counâ€" cil, Monday. The median strip would be placed to prevent cars fro m taking the turn under the bridge too fast and cracking into the cement and steel bridge pillars in the centre of Weston Road. Several autos a year have hit the bridge causing several fatalâ€" ities. There have been six accidents in Weston this year with two involving personal injury, said the Police report to Council. Police â€" also /r mended the improvement of I‘Minl in the area. Council agreed with the suggestions and may implement Building Up Again In January The petition pleaded with Council for help in: * Stopping the incessant driâ€" ving of cars by students of the Weston Collegiate, round and round the blocks, namely the streets of MacDonald, Wads worth, Springmount and William during their noon hour in an erratic and irres ponsible manner." Police Crack Down On Speeders With Unmarked Cars And Radar Pushbuttons Even Invade Telephones Scouts Told High school students with ‘drag strip‘ fever are causing near panic amâ€" ong the residents of the area near Weston Collegiate and Vocational School, according to a petition received in Town Council, Monday night, and signed by more than 120 people. 125 Sign Names Parents of the area want Council to "force these students to drive more slowly and less recklessly to and from the school." The petition which is signed by 125 persons living on Wadsâ€" worth Blvd., Macdonald Ave., ‘"‘Dialing" by pushing buttons may well be in the future for telephone users, Albert E. Smith, of the Bell Telephone Company said in speaking to the Fourth Weston Scout Troop‘s Father and Son banquet at St. John‘s Anglican Church Thursâ€" day, February 20th. The fact that pushing buttons or ‘"touchâ€"tone"" could speed up "‘dialing" four or five times is not the only reason for work on this development. When dealâ€" ing in equipment that operates in microâ€"seconds the telephone company is concerned . with ‘every fractional saving, he exâ€" plained. ‘"Touch â€" Tone dialing allows us to economize on cirâ€" cuit time and it is just such economies that help keep costs down â€" one of our everâ€"present concerns," he said. During his talk, Mr. Smith traced the history of sound transmission, from the first Galâ€" lows model telephone that Alexâ€" ander Graham Bell used to prove that sound waves could be changed effectively into elecâ€" trical impulses to today‘s transâ€" mission over land, under water and into the atmosphere. Showing a model of the Galâ€" lows telephone, he explained that our modern telephone still uses essentially the same wire pathway that was required by the first model. As the popularity of the teleâ€" phone grew, the simple method of just adding wires when new telephones were installed beâ€" came a problem until the first cable was used. Another probâ€" lem was distance â€"â€" electrical current carrying the voice faded out as it travelled along the line. With the invention of the vacuum tube, long distance was possible. It amplified the voice (Coatinued on page 11) SCISSORS COME INTO PLAY in this project as Ladies of Legion Branch 213 Auxiliary cut out trade marks of leadâ€" ing Canadian products.

For that matter, we adâ€" ults avoid these streets at that } time. Widening Oak Street Solution To Tieups "The continual "swish" of cars, the "gunning" of motors and the "screech" of brakes has become most frustrating and we feel that we should not have to be subjected to this chaos beâ€" cause students choose to drive to school rather than walk or use the public transportation. The above is especially true at noon hour but many start this nonsensical driving at 8:30 a.m. and continue after 5:30 p.m. Evâ€" idently these students consider these particular streets a "drag" and some of their antics are inâ€" credible. Springmount Ave., William St., and Rosemount Ave., continues: Police have been called time and time again but the drivers naturally see them and the foolâ€" ishness ceases for the time beâ€" ing.. So, nowâ€"as representatives of the people, we implore you to put an end to this sheer nonâ€" sense and restore to us some peace of mind. We understand that in large schools in Toronto, such as Wesâ€" term Technical Schuol and Cenâ€" tral Technical School, this conâ€" The widening of Oak Street seems to be the only solution to the traffic tieâ€"ups caused by cars entering Weston Road by a leftâ€"hand turn from Oak, acâ€" cording to a report from the Metro Toronto Traffic Engineerâ€" ing Department. The report, received in Counâ€" cil Monday, said the department has made a study of the Oak Street â€" Weston Road area and found that most cars make a right turn onto Weston R o a d, and the only tieâ€"ups ¢aused by ding Canadian manufacturers Groupâ€" ed here are left to right Ann Meyer, Agnes Tomkinson Sr., Olive Halcrow (convener) Isabel Gray, Carrie Wilson and Sarah Hopceroft, dition does not exist. We feel they are a disgrace to the School, especialiy one of the few schonls who have their own "Drivers‘ Educational Course." Police. using radar, unmarked cars and plainclothesmen, have handed out 36 summonses on Lawrence Ave. and 12 on Pine Street in the area, during a reâ€" cent surveillance, according to a report received in Council, The Police say every high school in Metro has the same problem, council said . . . and Councillor Wesley Boddington added. "Not all the racers are students." The Town is erecting ‘NO Parking‘ signs in the area this week, according to Council. to prevent students from parking their cars too close to the school. Council thinks this may act as a deterrent to students leaving school during the lunch hour to drive their cars. Councillor Lindsay Cott also suggested the school might be considering the shortening of the noon hour to 40 minutes on a staggered system afterâ€"Easter, to cut down the number of stuâ€" dents driving about during the noon hour. He said he has met with a committee from the school reâ€" garding the problem and will hold another meeting soon. Mayâ€" or George Bull said, "This is a difficult problem we have evâ€" ery year." = Councillor Carl Caskey said some work had been done on finding the students a ‘drag strip‘ or racing track for autos, where the town could "control racing." cars turning left occur during the rush hours. A signal cannot be placed at the corner because of the limâ€" ited visibility in rounding a nearby bend in the road. ‘‘The most obvious solution to this problem would be a widenâ€" ing of Oak Street to permit two lanes of westbound traffic, thus freeing the rightâ€" turning traffic from the delays caused by the left â€" turning . traffic," according
