York Parks and Recreation Committee referred to the Youth Drop in Centre Advisory Com- mittee a report recom- mending that the C. R. Marchant drop-in centre not be moved to another location. The report originated from a petition signed by 24 angry MacDonald Ave. residents, which council received June 7, asking that the borough find another site for the drop in centre. In the petition, the North York school board decided on Monday to try and find out whether it should be doing more to promote learning of im- migrant cultures and customs in the borough's 156 schools. . Trustee Saul Cowan won approval for a survey among the borough's ethnic, racial, nationalistic and religious groups to see whether they think anything is lacking in the existing Ontario Department of Education curriculum. He said that if greater emphasis is placed on giving students an insight into ethnic customs the results will be "mutually valuable" to both immigrant families'. and the children of Canadian-born parents.

They said that those attending the drop-in had no respect for private property and that a drop-in should not be located on a residential street.

Mr. Malcolm said: "The problem we have is one of assimilation rather than trying to maintain separation. "We have barriers of a nationalistic and ethnic nature in the borough which shouldn't be there and are causing friction." barriers by insisting on total uniformity." Only trustee Douglas Malcolm was strongly against Mr. Cowan's idea. survey Arena was discussed, with all sites except H. J. Alexander Public School being ruled out because of the number of adjacent homes. However, H. J. Alexander Junior Public School does not have a large gymnasium, nor kitchen facilities. The principal of the school, Mr. R. J. Hofland, was not in favor of locating a drop-in centre at his school, as well. The report also states that the drop-in centre super- visors were against a change of location as it would be a "setback" to the youth who are "just beginning to associate themselves with the centre, the Councillors and other members" of the dropln.

West Photos: Bill Sanford LAWN WEEDS ELIMINATED QUICKLY - 3mm REEVES The controller's complaint was that Metro was leasing a $3-million site to North York in return for nothing more than the borough main- taining the property. North York wants the site for park purposes including a cricket pitch. Mr. Saunders said York residents paid six per cent of the development cost of the reservoir but North York W.C.T.U. delegate Mrs. Murial Davidge, Weston, attended the Nth Triennial convention of the world Woman's Christian Temperance Union meeting in the Pick Congress hotel in Chicago. Boroughs must be strengthened Some 1,500 delegates and visitors from 40 countries attended the sessions. Of this number, approximately one third were young people, members of the Loyal Temperance Legion, grade school children's affiliate, or the Youth Temperance Council, high school and college student affiliate. Metro Chairman Albert Campbell said recently that every effort must be made to strengthen the borough system in a metropolitan form of civic government. The metro chairman is a strong advocate of the borough system. He was once a borough mayor himself. He feels that the borough system is the most effective way the public can express their opinion on civic issues. In an opening statement, Mrs. T. Roy Jarrett of Rich- mond, president for the past nine years, said "Concern for world peace and problems which are creating a breakdown of home and family, including hunger, alcoholism, drug addiction, and other social welfare issues, have brought together delegates from nations around the world in an effort to develop a unified York Mayor Philip White told Metro last week it was just wasting its time in trying to appeal an Ontario Municipal Board decision to the Ontario Cabinet con- cerning location of a police radio tower in a park. "My personal view is that if you appeal you will find yourself in the same position as you did with the Spadina strong borough once a himself. Mr. Campbell said borough councils are in a much better position to handle problems raised by citizens. He admitted that metro government is rather an impersonal structure.

He argued that the neigh- boring borough should be required to pay a rental fee equal to five per cent of the value of the property each year. agree, expressway," Mr. White told Metro Chairman Albert Campbell and other mem- bers of metro executive committee. Mr. Campbell recom- mended that metro appeal the OMB decision on refusing metro to build a police tower in Sir Winston Churchill park on the south side of St. Clair Ave. Metro the public view or at least rcognized it they in turn could send an elected representative to a metro committee to speak on their behalf. Since the big argument over the Spadina Expressway, however, more and more public deputations have been trying to reach metro government through the metro Council standing committee system. Mrs. Jarrett pointed out that while drug abuse is considered a serious problem in the United States and is gaining in other countries as well, the world W.C.T.U. through petitition sought to point this out almost 90 years ago. She maintained, however, that alcoholism still remains the biggest problem in the United States and a growing problem world-wide. Former metro chairmen much preferred to have citizen groups take their problems, metro or local, to the borough council. If the borough council supported "No longer," she said, “are countries separated and faced with individually unique problems. Each nation in our world society today affects all other nations. It is only by sharing problems can solutions be found." said it does not always deal directly with the people. program to help solve these problems. advises The committed didn't vay," Mr. White told Chairman Albert ll and other mem- metro executive metro police commission said the tower was part of a $5,000,000 new police radio com- munication system badly needed by the department because the present radio system is overloaded with calls. MF. White predicted that metro will get a sharp rebuttal from the province if it makes the appeal. The committee voted to go ahead and make the appeal despite the mayor's comments. Mr. White said the province has taken a firm position on preserving open space un- cluttered with buildings. "We have to search our souls and come up with an alternate solution to the park site," the mayor said. Mr. White said OMB chairman Joseph Kennedy wants metro to take a close look at the Loblaw store parking lot on St. Clair Ave. as a possible alfernative site for the tower. The York mayor suggested that the committee should go out and look at the parking lot sites. “If it costs extra money we should be prepared to spend it," he said. The mayor said preservation of park land was important at a time of rapid urban growth. Mr. White said the province could quite possibly delay deciding on Metro's appeal until after the next provincial election. "We could waste possibly three, four or even five months." Mr. Saunders noted that York and East York were the only Metro municipalities without Metro water reservoir sites which could be converted for neigh- borhood park use. "It sounds to me like some boroughs are getting an excellent deal," he told the committee. '0: mm; the dirty end of the stick" North York Alderman Ken Lund denied that North York was using the reservoir site in calculating the amount of apartment development that should be permitted in the area as compared to the amount of available open space. o SERVICE AFTER THE SALE 1950 WILSON AVE.
