Grey Cup Day and the week long festivities preceeding it has done more to unite this country since the Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway line was spiked. V A good iilace to start would'be to" inform Capadians just what the name of July the First is but, somehow we've let it slip away from us and seem to have settled back to our old 'who cares' celebrations of Dominion Day, or Canada Day or vhatever July the First is currently being called. Next July first is Canada's 105th an- niversary. How many more years will we able to say that there's another birthday in the future? Will we see a 110th or 125th? Is there anyone who really cares? Canadians take more pride in their athletic heros than in being Canadian - they'll cheer louder and longer for the Hockey Maple Leafs than for their Flag maple leaves. Its fine being sports minded, even fanatical up to a point. But we still live in one great nation and we should do everything we can to make Canada even greater. Let's show-the world we're Canadians. Expo .'67. gave as the 1er1equrirgtrpent to tlo just that It's of little wonder that the country is falling apart. There seems so little to keep it together. Even inter-provincial trade is threatened with a chicken-and-egg war. What happened to decorating the home in bunting, flag waving and hoop-de-do whilst they were Canadians living in Canada and holidaying on July the one instead of July the four? Yet when Canadians emigrate to other countries - particularly south to the USA. and - all of a sudden they become a big part of the action of whatever celebration you can mention from Lincoln's birthday to the laying of the nearest cornerstone. Ethnic groups Who have chosen this country as their home are more enthusiastic toward July 1 than those who have been born and reared With the exception of a little celebration in and around the country to celebrate our 100th birthday anniversary four years ago, we do little, really, on July l, So little, in fact, that it comes and goes with hardly any flag waving, perhaps a smattering of fireworks here and there, a few parades and maybe a handful of county, community or civic functions. It's not really a national holiday in any sense other than a national day away from work. Why are Canadians apathetic toward their nationfs anniversary? Dominion Day - or Canada Day, or whatever July the First is currently being called - has come and gone once again. And, as usual, in the hurndrum fashion that Canadians seem to want for their national holiday. Leaving New York a week ago, these pilots stated with confidence that they could circle the globe in ten days. They ac- complished the feat in eight days, fifteen hours and fifty one minutes.

The Weston Band was first in the mar- ching competition and second in the test section of the province's first class amateur bands. 60 Years Ago Two events made news of interest to citizens of Weston. One was the launching of the Weston Band into musical competition and their capturing of prizes at Barrie's Coronation Day ceremonies.

But, then again it could be worse: Under - these cir- cumstances, one would have thought that any government This is a very remarkable situation. It is bad enough to have a government helplessly complaining that it is losing revenue. It becomes unbelievably worse when the attorney general of that government has stated (last January 22) that "I have no doubt that the way offtrack betting shops are run now attracts criminal elements." In short, that the system is aiding and a- betting organized crime. The net result of this process is that monies are being lost, partly to the provincial treasury which claims seven of the 17 cents which is 'taken off the top' of every dollar bet; and partly by the Jockey Club which gets 9ra cents, to meet ex- penses, profits and prize money for the racing purses. The Jockey Club now claims that it is faced with such financial difficulties, because of declining revenue, that racing meets will have to be cancelled. to the race-tracks tor parimutuel betting simply does not reach its destination. The government now concedes that this is likely the 'case, but defends tts lack of vigorous proseetion on the difficulty in getting solid evidence.

The directors, therefore, are always sympathetic to the would move with un- precedented vigor. And yet, for quite some time, provincial and federal governments have been jockeying as to who should assume responsibility for clarifying the legal situation and resolving the problem. But the situation is even more complicated by the artomolous role of the Jockey Club in the whole racing picture in Ontario. Let me put toraard for your consideration a sequence of factual items. province is supervised and controlled by the Ontario Racing Commission. That the Commission does some supervising, no one can deny. That it is in control of the situation, many people doubt - including myself. The Jockey Club is, in fact, in control of the situation; and in turn, E.P. Taylor is in control of the Jockey Club. Ostensibly, racing in this Yours truly, Charles H.

Happy is the person who settles the sin question now -_-._- for today is the day of His loving forgiveness and release. Fact Three: In January of this year Mr. Taylor an- nounced details of a plan to turn the Jockey Club into a non-profit corporation without share capital. The plan involves the issuance to .shareholders to 16-year second mortgage debentures carrying interest at 6 per cent. Yes, it is true that when a person has an encounter with Jesus Christ, He brings peace and joy into the heart like nothing else can "Why are you so happy someone asked me. “I have the old time religion. The happy king." I replied. Points to ponder Insider trading reports from the Securities Com. mission show that earlier this year Windfield bought up blocks of Jockey Club stock until E.P.

It is a friend- ship with Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God who did not think that being on the same level with God as something to be hung onto without letting go. But, He made Himself of no reputation and became as a man so that He could bring forgiveness and eternal life to you and me. Happy is the person who avails himself of all the blessings Jesus Christ had to offer for He satisfies like nothing else can comes a sense of adventure in living. To illustrate this let me share a little personal experience. For many years I have had the longing to share what Jesus Christ means to me with the people in the far north, in lonely, snowbound places. Just recently I have had the privilege of writing for a publication which goes to those romantic places like the Nahanni River, of headless valley fame, the old Hudson's Bay Forts of the Yukon and North West Territories. All of which is a dream come true. weretio principal amount of the debenture for each common share. At the current closing price of Jockey Club share, in the $3.50 range, this would mean that each $1,000 debenture would have an effective cost to the common shareholder of 8350. Holding the debenture to maturity in 16 years would produce a yield well over 13 per cent on a 6 per cent coupon. This compares strikingly with the yield of just under 2 per cent currently available on the common shares which are paying an annual dividend of 10 cents. Simple arithmetic will give you some indication of the increased returns available, when, and if, this plan is put into effect, for any shareholder who holds 1,963,800 shares. To sum up: any further delay on the part of the government on resolving the incredible situation which exists with regard to off- track betting shops would be unconscionable. But there is an obligation on the government to make certain that any solution does not bolster the monopoly position in racing already held by the Jockey Club. Particularly when the Jockey Club is so much in the control of E.P.

By his own action, he is now only a 'visitor', a 'foreigner' in our midst. Faulty or grabbing brakes can do as much damage to tires as screeching stops or wheel misalignment. By applying pressure unevenly faulty brakes can lock a wheel momentarily. wearing bald spots on tires end makini them Wear bars are now standard on tires. When the motorist can see the bars appearing as smooth pieces of rubber across the face of the tire, the tread is less than one-sixteenth of an inch thick, the danger signal that it's time to replace the tire. Motorists planning trips should inspect their tires for breaks in the walls and cuts before leaving. Drivers should also look for signs of irregular wear of tires which can . tip off owners to dangerous vehicle malfunctions. Over inflation can cause damage to tires if they strike obstacles. This also causes excessive wear of the centre of the tread in addition to giving an uncomfortably hard ride. On hot roads, under. inflation causes excessive flexing of tire walls, an im vitation to tire failure. It also results in excessive wear of the edges of the tires. Motorists are advised to put in four pounds more pressure for summer high- way travel providing the total pressure does not ex- ceed the masimum inflation recommended for the tire. Under-inflated tires may give the motorist a soft ride but can damage the driver's only contacts with the road and lead to possible tire failure. Rubber Association of Canada is conducting a summer tire campaign to bring the importance of proper tire maintenance to the attention of the public. They say the best things in life are free.

This was around the year 300 A.D. While in York for this purpose the Em- peror died (assassinated, maybe?). His son Constantine was proclaimed successor. This same Constantine, later to be known as "TheGreat", legalized Christianity in 311 A.D. and made it the "religio licata" (the state religion) of the Empire. This was the first incident in York's long and illustrious association with Christianity. It is one of the fallacies of popular history that Christianity came to England via St. Augustine, the emissary of Pope Gregory, in the year 597 A.D. But there is contemporary documentation, corroborated by ar- chaeological evidence, of the fact that there were Christians in York even during the Roman occupation. It is recorded that a certain Eborius, Bishop of Rome, was present at the Church Council of Arles in France in the year 314 A.D. This statement is authenticated by the fact that of a number of Roman stonecoffins recently discovered in the city, a few contained clear evidence of a connection with Christian burial. After the withdrawal of the Romans from Britain, about the year 400 A.D., little is known of York until Paulinus was appointed its first Archbishop. Under Paulinus, the Christian mission to the heathen British achieved a singular success when Edwin, King of Northumbria, was converted and baptised at York in the year 627 A.D. A special wooden booth was constructed for his baptism. This booth was later enlarged and consecrated as the first York Minster. The venerable Bede, historian of Jarrow, by reputation the Father of English History, records in his "History of the English People" this moving story of Edwin's conversion. He tells us that the King was not easily persuaded about the truth of Christianity. He called a council of his wise men and asked them what they thought of this new faith. Coifi, the head of the heathen priests. spoke in cynical vein. In the silence that followed, one of the warriors addressed the company in these words: a constant Headache to the Roman garrison of Eboracum (York). Those Brianne of Northern Britain were Summer fire care more Before buying or building single family houses many people want information about the area in which they intend to locate, the board said. The OMB proposed that municipalities institute systems to provide more accurate answers to inquiries and to record such questions and answers for future reference The OMB has noted that North York has instituted a program of answering citizen inquiries which ap- pears to be working out quite well. The OMB said municipalities and its council and officials should be aware that planning is a very involved and complex science. An ordinary layman cannot be expected to know exactly what information he should seek, the board said. The Ontario Municipal Board wants municipalities, including York, to provide citizens with an improved system of answering inquiries about neigh- borhood development and zoning. One of the continuing complaints of many citizens that visit a municipal office, the OMB said in a recent statement, is that they don't get sufficient or altogether accurate information. Vacationers should pay special attention to trailer tires which generally require much higher pressures than ordinary tires. They should make sure that the trailer, its wheels and tires are capable of carrying the load including all cargo, ac- cessories, furniture, and other gear and that this load does not exceed maximum Worn shock absorbers produce a ride that will lead to other mechanical irregularities and can im- pose differing strains on tires, causing irregular wear. Christian Yo Planning DON REED Rom Rood Is Mmistqtr ot Wulmmstm Una-d Church In Wenon. One of the most impressive views of York is afforded the traveller by train, who, on stepping out from the Central station and passing through an arch under the city walls, emerges to see the curve of the creamy-grey castellated walls stretching to his left: ahead of him is the graceful Lendal Bridge spanning the River Ouse; and in the distance, dominating all, is the massive triple-towered Minster of St. Peter. The traveller in springtime has the added delight of seeing the green-sward slopes, which support the wall, dancing with yellow daffodils. The present day walls of the City, though sharing in part the contours of the original Roman construction, date largely from this period. And of the 41 known medieval churches no fewer than 22 of them remain to this day. m the 7th Century A.D. York developed into an influential centre of Christian learning under Alcuin. Alcuin was a famous scholar whose writings and researches helped formulate and fix the early liturgy of the Catholic Church. His letters and poems, still preserved in York, provide a great deal of interesting detail about the life and times of York at this period. There is no doubt, too, that his work, backed by the beneficient influence of the Archbishop of York, strongly influenced the outcome of the Synod of Whitby in 664 A.D. This Synod produced the first recorded Church union. It united the Celtic churches of the north with the Roman churches of the South of Britain. By general consent the most fascinating feature of the City of York today is its ar- chitectural legacy from the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages. The Middle Ages was the period of history when Christianity and Culture walked hand in hand to their mutual enrichment and strengthening. This moving utterance proved decisive. It persuaded Edwin to accept the Christian Faith, a decision full of incalculate con- sequence for the city of York.

North York Alderman to seek PC nomination In making his an- nouncement, he pointed out that it would be his intention as the member for Don Mills to foster the type of im volvement in the provincial riding that he has brought about in North York's Ward l0. North York Alderman Dennis Timbrell has an- nounced his intention to seek the Progressive Con- servative nomination in the provincial riding of Don Mills, presently held by Stanley Randall, Minister of Trade and Development in the Roberts government. Timbrell, one of North York's two full-time aldermen and a former high school history teacher, ‘has been actively involved in the formation of many citizen! groups in Ward 10, which covers a large part of the Provincial Riding of Don Mills. Mr. Randall recently announced he will not con- test the next provincial election. "Check inflation -- save a life" is mic slogan of the Summer Tire Campaign.
