Mr. Paisley said he didn't like the idea of North York renting space for a new borough hall in the base of Alderman John Williams said he thought any development of the civic centre area should be by public tender rather than handing exclusive rights to a single developer. Some councillors, in- cluding Controllers Paul Hunt, Irving Paisley and Melvin Lastman were openly sceptical of the ability of Canplex to carry out the project after Bruner ad- mitted the company had no experience in the develop- ment field. Mr. Bruner told count cillors that Canplex has finance available for the project but declined to reveal the identity of his backers. He added: "We want approval in principle to negotiate a development agreement with you."

For about two years the company, headed by Al Bruner, a former vice- president of Corporate development for Niagara Television Ltd., has been studying the feasiblility of building an $8-million communications tower on a municipally-owed site north- west of the existing borough hall on Yonge St. with warranty E Special Clearance The borough's develop- ment committee, sitting with most other councillors present, deferred any decision on the proposal which was put forward by Canplex Ltd., a Toronto based company. A company's plan to spend Silo-million on developing a five-block area of Central Willowdale into a new town centre for North York was cautiously received on Monday when the first firm details were presented to borough council members.

Major features of the Canplex development plan which would be carried out in four stages between 1972 and 1985 include: - Siting a bus terminal adjoining the proposed new subway station on the north- east corner of Sheppard Ave. and Yonge St. with offices and shops being built above the station.

The subject is slated for debate Outline plans for a new civic centre for North York surrounding the existing borough hall were first revealed three years ago by former Mayor James Ser- vice but the project has been slow in getting off the ground. The only new building completed is the $3,600,000 North York Board of Education offices which opened last year.

He told the conference about his young nephew who had to be hospitalized for two months as a result of burns suffered while playing with firecrackers. The civic representatives voted to ask the federal government to ban the import of firecrackers into the country. Firecrackers are separate from fireworks which include rockets for colorful displays at various community events under strict supervision. Alderman Ben Nobleman was one of the most vigorous proponents at the annual convention of the Association of Ontario Mayors and Reeves for the banning of firecrackers.

"I didn't have any training. I It all started about two months ago when Beverley heard on T.V. about the new government policy of hiring girl pages. She wanted to be a page so she wrote a letter the Speaker of the House, the Honorable Fred McIntosh ("Sam") Cass saying just this. Two letters later, she was hired. Beverley is a page for the Provincial Legislature. She is one of four girls and twenty-two boys the government hired May 17, to serve in the current 10 week parliamentary session.

"Its the most democratic way, to let the people make the selec- tion by ballot," Mr. Nobleman told the other civic delegates. But the majority of civic leaders preferred to stick with the existing system which allows a council to appoint a person to fill a vacancy on council. "It costs money to hold by- elections," argued one rural civic leader. "It's very formal down there,," Beverley said, "The clerks wear long robes and everybody is always bowing to each other." Now, Beverley feels right at home in the legislature. Her talk is sprinkled with political jargon that would confuse a person twice her age.

The boys have a ping pong room which the girls frequent often-strictly for the game not for the boys, according to Beverley. The pages take tours around Toronto -- this week they're off to the Science Centre and the McLaughlin Planetarium. Also planned for the near future is a mock Parliament with the pages being the elected representatives and Page Master Mr. Jor- dan, Miss Welsh, who looks after the girls, and Mr. and Mrs. Cass being pages for the day. "This is serious, though," Beverley cautioned, "They've told us that there will be no fooling around. I will be Mrs. Pritchard, a RC, and I have to make a speech on unemployment." "You have to be very alert," Beverley confided, "because it gets to be a race to answer the buzzer. We all want to run messages. But you do have to play fair and take turns sitting on the dies instead of standing at the back of the room." Twice a week, the pages gather in the special classroom at the Parliament Buildings for school. Beverley is in Grade 7 so she attends classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The Grade 8 students go Tuesdays and Thursdays.

"All the pages have to go up to their M.P.P. and have their picture taken with him. When I went up to Mr. McDonald, I was so nervous I goofed and said to him 'I'm your Member of Parliament' instead of the other way around. " Beverley related with a giggle. Beverley still has her occasional moments of awe though. Mr. and Mrs. Lass seem to adopt the pages during their stay at the Parliament building. They board three of the out of town boys in their apartment in the Parliament Buildings and organize birthday parties for the pages whenever ap- propriate. Beverley also confided that the Caas's organize a big farewell party at the end of the session for the pages where all those who didn't have a birthday during the 10 week session get a gift of a "big radio". These embarrassing moments are worth it. Beverley is thriving in her job as a page. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Down, are very proud of her and eagerly await Beverley's tales from Parliament when she comes home every night. Beverley enjoyed meeting the Members of Provincial Parliament as well. Beverley's chance to do this came last week. She got to deliver a present to the speaker's apartment and to answer the phones. "They're so nice and friendly," she enthused, "and so normal. They're just like neighbours." COM FORT-N RE LTD. Beverley also spoke en- thusiastically about House Speaker Sam Cam and Mrs. Cass.
