It has been as a result of Mr. Mac Donald's hard work that the NDP has taken the play away from the Liberals in the Legislature. And it in the next provincial election the NDP and its new leader manage to take that power away from William Davis and his Conservatives, then it will be a victory which wilt have to be shared with the retiring leader.

Ratepayer President Bert Robinson explained that the association no longer could fund the necessary funds for repairs for the building located at 471 Caledonia Road. "It would cost $2,000 to $3,000 to put this building into shape so it could pass im spection," he told association members at last Tuesday's meeting. Mr. Robinson explained that the ratepayers had been renting the hall out for mixed group functions to cover' costs and that this necessitates the installation of three or four new washroom facilities, as well as repair of the furnace. Tor Sale' sign for West Fairbank hall "This is a stand that my party will not be too happy with and a stand the government will not be too On a motion from Alderman Murray Chusid, council decided to vote again on the issue in light of an impending provincial election. "The price means nothing," he said, "We are going to give the money away to charities." The West Fairbank area residents have contributed a great deal to the hall. It was a group of residents who, in 1917 got together to build the two-storey building them.. selves to give the community a place where they could meet. Besides being the site of the regular ratepayer meetings, over the years the hall has also accommodated a day school (complete with a pot-bellied wood-burning station stove) and regular North York council Monday reaffirmed its stand that the Spadina Expressway should be completed with rapid transit running down its centre. Although one ratepayer member said he had been quoted $45,000 for the building with its 45 foot frontage, Mr. Robinson emphasised that the ratepayers would not get "one nickel piece" from the sale of the building. North York stands firm You don't see as many people congregating at the West Fairbank Community Hall now as did in its heyday, but the hall is still being used and the people in the area still care about it. church and Sunday school services. At one point in the history of the hall, manual training classes were held Friday nights, and 25 cents bought the admission ticket to a weekly Saturday night dance that in the area would miss. "I think it would be useful to have a piebescite or public meetings on the matter," Mr. Chusid added, "but the timing is inappropriate right now." happy with," said. He said he feels it is im- portant that the electorate know North York council is standing fast in its support of Spadina. The residents care about it so much that just this summer some of the men got together with paint and ladders to go over the in- terior of the building. The West Fairbank Com- munity Hall is, in Bert Robinson's words, "a monument" to the men who built it and to the citizens of today who still care about it. Mr. Chusid is running for the NDP in the provincial riding of Downsview. SEE US SOON Mr. Chusid
