;) Controller Douglas Saunders _ revealed â€" an alternative _ transportation plan for the Spadina Expressway in an interview last week. Mr. Saunders said he Controller Irving Paisley said: ‘"The only way we can consider whether this is worthwhile is to embark on an experiment." The committee heard that a group of Newtonbrook Secondary School students and _ other _ volunteers regularly collect five tons of old newspapers in Willowdale each Sunday and sell them for $5 a ton for processing into cardboard. North York‘s Environâ€" mental Control Committee voted last week to launch a study into the practicality of organizing a municipallyâ€" sponsored garbage reâ€" cycling project within the borough. Mrs. Stephanie Ruys de Perez, a housewife member of the committee made up of borough politicians and citizens, suggested the idea. She said it is ridiculous to heave most garbage into municipal incinerators "willy nilly" without saving such items as newspapers, tins and _ bottles for reprocessing. Raymond Aaron, a math teacher at the school, said the project has been exâ€" panding since March and citizens bring their papers and magazines to a temâ€" porary dump in the school yard every Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Four members of the committee were appointed to report on the whole question of _ reâ€"cycling. He said this means that towards a dam costing $4,000,000 the authority will be required to pay only $15,000 with the province picking up the remaining part of the bill. Starting next year, for a dam costing over $30,000, the authority‘s share of the cost will be $15,000 with the province picking up 100 per cent of the balance. Under an existing agreement for such projects, from which the federal government is withâ€" drawing, the authority pays The Ontario Government has approved a major inâ€" crease in financial grant aid to _ help _ conservation uthorities build flood ontrol dams. It was d sed at last week‘s meeting of the Metro Toronto and Region Conâ€" servation Authority‘s Executive Committee. Dr. G. Ross Lord, the authority‘s chairman, who made the announcement, described the move by the Department of Energy and Resources Management as "a great step forward." Garbage project Better than Spadina Federal grant tor dams would ask council to support a proposal to extend High way 400 through the natural ravine running from Jane St. and Highway 401 through Tretheway and south into the city of Toronto. He sees the expressway raised on stilts over the railroad right of way south of Eglinton Avenue. Mr. Saunders said this plan would involve no exâ€" propriation or acquisition as the provincial government already owns the part of Keelesdale Park the highâ€" way would run through. "I expect I will have full council support for this motion," he said, ‘"as this route would not affect the division of neighbourhoods because there is already a natural division caused by the railway tracks." New provincial health regulations will cut down the number _ of _ swimmers allowed into the pools at any one time this summer. The ruling that only 50 swimmers per lifeguard on duty will force York Park and Recreations pools to limit the number of bathers to the number of lifeguards they have hired. Budgets will not allow the hiring of additional lifeguards at this time. Recreational Pools have moved into new premises where two of their line of outdoor inâ€"ground pools are featured in an indoor showroom. Noel Robertson, president of Recreational Pools, inâ€" vites visitors to their new location at 2395 Cawthra Road, Mississauga to see the rectangular and shaped pools they have installed in their combined office and He said later: "This will give us a chance to acâ€" celerate our water conâ€" servation and flood control program. It will also aid pollution _ control _ and development of conservation areas." 25 per cent of the total cost with the remainder of the bill being split between the federal government and the province. Higgs said the three dam projects which may be adâ€" vanced are a 95â€"foot high dam northâ€"west of Bolton which will create a 700 acre reservoir, a 44â€"foot high dam at Snelgrove, northâ€"west of Brampton and the proposed 65â€"foot high Arthur Percy Dam on Duffin Creek northâ€" west of Pickering on the K.G. Higgs, the authority‘s director of operations, told last week‘s meeting that the provincial _ move _ will hopefully mean the authority , will be able to construct three major dams and recreation area reservoirs northâ€"east and northâ€"west of Metro during the next six years. Recreational Pools moves Swimmers limited ‘‘Most of the property adjacent to the railway tracks is residential, so residents would not be forced to relocate," he continued. "The money applied for from the Ontario Municipal Board for the Spadina Expressway should do the job." Mr. Saunders thinks this new route would rejuvenate the ailing commerce of the Mt. Dennis Area. "It would improve _ transportation through the borough to the city and as a cloverleaf at Eglinton Avenue would be a definite possibility, York could then finally get to build a motor hotel,"‘ he explained. Mr. Saunders feels Metro Toronto will support the extension of Highway 400 but he expects fierce opposition from North York on the plan. showroom facilities The firm offers unique financing arrangements â€" believed to be exclusive in the Metro Toronto area â€" that allows term purchasing of swimming pools at bank loan rates. As yet, parks and recreation officials have not planned on limiting the time a bather may remain in the pool area but should long lineâ€"ups of those waiting for a swim develop, it may be that some sort of timing system will be needed so that all will get a fair chance. Mr. Robinson and his staff will be pleased to answer any and all questions regarding swimming pools, financing and their maintenance. Former regulations were more flexible and between 75â€"100 swimmers per duty lifeguard were permitted. Several months ago the authority learned that the federal government had decided to discontinue its grant aid towards Ontario conservation projects and caused a revision of current authority spending plans. The authority is currently proceeding with a $14,371,000 extension of its flood control and water conservation program which started in 1961 as a result of Hurrican Hazel and is half completed. southern edge of the Greenwood Conservation area which will create a 100 acre recreation pool. This will create recreation areas and the 65â€"foot high dam will also supply flood protection for the York Mills Valley and ‘the Ontario Science Centre. The authority‘s major flood control program for the next fiveâ€"year period will involve building of the $6,000,000 Finch dam and 50 acre reservoir on the West Don River in North York, northâ€"east of Finch Ave., and Dufferin St. Kendra Magnus is Miss Juvenile Majorette of Metro Toronto following the competitions held at North York‘s Centennial Arena June 5. > a ® ® Miss Juvenile Majorette ‘‘What‘s everyone so upset about?" asked Controller Douglas Saunders in an interview last week. "It‘s just being referred back." Controller Saunders was speaking about the feedback from an article in this newspaper several weeks ago about the Board of Control‘s decision to refer the issue of the Yorkâ€"Weston Tennis Club back to the commissioner of Parks and Recreation for further study. The tennis club has requested from council additional facilities for its operation. It has offered to pay the borough a total of $7,000 towards amenities such as lights and possibly a clubhouse. ‘"We are not talking nickels and dimes," Mr. Saunders continued. "The requested facilities cost $50,000 and this amount will have to be debentured which will push the cost up to about $75,000. Kendra Magnus, of Ferâ€" nando Road, Weston, is Metro _ Toronto‘s _ Miss Juvenile Majorette. Miss Magnus, 10, won the title at a baton twirling competition, sposnored by North York Parks and Recreation department, at Centennial _ Arena _ on Saturday, June 5.
