Nor does there appear to be any reason to suppose that apartment redevelopment will cause a decline in the assessment of adjacent property owners as a result of the pressures it may create on the surrounding neighborhood. Page 4+â€"The Westonâ€"York Times, Thu A great deal has been heard and said about the Price Waterhouse report conclusion that ratepayers would gain or lose little with highâ€"rise development in York. In commenting on the socioâ€"economic imâ€" pact of apartment development the report found no evidence that redevelopment reduces the market value of surrounding homes. In fact, the reverse is more probably true. The report discusses five areas that are often a concern of ratepayers. Overshadowing has no measurable effect on land values whether it results from actual shadows over surrounding dwellings or from the physical impression of highâ€"rise buildings. The schools in York appear adequate to meet the needs of apartment children and school crowding should not be a problem. It is pointed out that apartments do not normally contain nearly as many children per family unit as single family dwellings. The issue is by no means closed, as some of the comment appearing in this issue of The Westonâ€"York Times indicates. Some of the other findings have been obâ€" scured and are of significance to any further discussion. nenugs unnnnnnmein nenennnnemne terteoronnenenceirin nnsononsnnsnnnnnmmnnnint The report also states that lack of parkland will not bother local residents. Apartment dwellers do not seem to make as great demands on parkland as single family dwellers, because they appear to prefer regional or onâ€"site recreational facilities rather than local parks. Traffic and parking may pose problems at some sites studied but the report states the evidence is too strong that in the long run property values will rise in areas surrounding apartment redevelopment. There is also no evidence that the need for social services increases disportionately with redevelopment. The nature of the development itself and its standards are most important in governing the social impact on the community. f 60 years ago f No little surprise was caused by the an _ _nouncement that King George and Queer Mary, after their coronation in June of nex: year, will visit India at in Delhi on January Ist, will be crowned with great pomp anc C ceremony Emporor and Empress of India 10 years ago / The mail must go on was certainly true of Victor J.

Editor Telephone 241 §211 y, December 2, 1971 address in Canada _Natural gas â€" . important er The first and most newsworthy development for residents of the Borough of York and neighbouring municipalities, is that the OHSC has just authorized the inclusion of a 30â€"bed psychiatric unit in the proposed expansion of the Northwestern Hospital, and the expansion to 50 beds of the 20â€"bed psychiatric unit in the proposed expansion of the Northwestern Hospital, and the expansion to 50 beds of the 20â€"bed psychiatric unit now at Humber Memorial Hospital. Some months ago I devoted one of my weekly reports to the growing inâ€" terest in mental health, and a brief account of the development in the Borough of York of a Mental Health Council, whose objective is to encourage greater public interest and involvement in the provision of mental health services. The frustrations which the hospital administrations have experienced over nearly _ two â€" years _ of negotiations _ with _ the provincial authorities have finally been resolved. At least the green light has now been given: the psychiatric unit in Northwestern will be part of an expansion of that hospital which is included in the 1972 appropriations, and the expanded psychiatric unit at Humber Memorial will be included in 1973 apâ€" propriations. I want to return to this question because there have been a number of develop ments at all levels of government, which open up a whole new world of exâ€" citing prospects. In my duel capacity as local MPP and chairman of the Mental Health Council, I must say that I have been puzzled by all the difficulties that were experienced in achieving a meeting of Since the end of World War II, natural gas has become an important _ energy resource and a major raw material instead of an unâ€" wanted byâ€"product of the petroleum industry. Today it supplies almost a quarter of Canada‘s energy market, as compared with less than three per cent 25 years ago. In addition, Canada‘s petrochemical industry which depends on natural Canada produced a record 24 trillion cubic feet of natural gas last year and demand for natural gas in both domnestic and export markets continued to exâ€" pand. The current Comâ€" mercial Letter, published by the Canadian Bank of Gas which is surplus to Canada‘s requirements finds a ready market in the United States. helping Canada‘s balance of payments.

Fortunately, that has not happened â€" at least, for any longer â€" in the inâ€" stance of Humber Memorial and Northwestern. I have secured a copy of the letter of support for expanded _ facilities â€" at Humber Memorial â€" and Northwestern, which was sent to the Ontario Hospital Services Commission from the Psychiatric Services Branch of the provincial Department of Health which nails down this point. It reads, in part: v minds between the local hospitals and the provincial authorities. I hasten to add that my puzzlement is not yet completely dispelled, but the reason for the difficulties is gradually becoming clearer. Provincial authorities are now persuaded that mental health services cannot be effectively delivered without a greater â€" measure . of community interest, support and involvement. In fact, on occasion provincial spokesmen have even gone so far as to say that, without solid evidence of this inâ€" volvement, provincial apâ€" "Schedule 1.

We would suggest to you that conâ€" currently with any planning valued at more than one billion dollars. In 1970, Canada exported 780 billion cubic feet of natural gas, contributing nearly $210 million to the Canadian economy, 16.5 per cent more than in 1969. According â€"to industry estimates, net additions to natural gas reserves in Canada over the past decade have been â€" insufficient â€" to cover rising domestic and export demand. Net adâ€" ditions in 1970 were the lowest in recent years ‘While there is no shortage at present, and successful exploration and developâ€" ment have resulted in reserve buildâ€"up, a discovery rate beyond the historical average will be required to meet the markets of the 1970‘s and later." the letter states The publication says that it is likely that only frontier areas will be able to supply new reserves in sufficient volume â€"to meet future market potential. Areas holding _ considerable protmise â€" includeâ€" Canada‘s Arctic mainland, the Arcti islands, the offâ€"shore Arctic, possibly ffudson Bay, and Canada‘s east and west coasts The first significant pas discovery in the Canadian Arctic was made in 1969 at Drake Point, Melville Island In October 1970. another Donald C.

This would also ensure that of health services must be integrated _ much _ more closely with the delivery of many other services. However, the evidence grows more conclusive that this kind of integration in the delivery of health services is not only more efficient, but the community groups were assured of a voice in the planning and the services, and a participation in an onâ€" going review of any such services." Experts in the field insist, with ever increasing vigor, that health services cannot remain as balkanized as they now are; that a more efâ€" ficient, and less costly, delivery of health services is possible only with a much closer coâ€"ordination and integration. Indeed, some will go further: that delivery Now, that is quite clear, as far as it goes. The need for an active Mental Health Council is explicity set forth. But it begs a question which looms ever larger on the horizon. tnajor gas reserve was discovered on King Christian Island, _ More recently, natural gas has been located in the Mackenzie Delta.

And the recent report of the special study of Walter B. Willison, Q.C., comâ€" missioned by Ontario‘s Health _ Minister â€" Bert Lawrence, on â€" Present Arrangements for the Care and Supervision of Mentally Retarded Persons, points to the need for community facilities which can diagnose and provide early treatment for mental retardation. In Quebec this objective is about to be realized through legislation just introduced for the development of a whole structure of health clinics which will be organized and directed through public companies in w hich _ community representation is significant. In Manitoba the provincial government is now moving, on a pilotâ€"project basis, to the development of comâ€" munity health clinics along the general lines of those which emerged in Saskatâ€" chewan following the stormy introduction of medicare in the early sixties. Some are an outgrowth of earlier work on components for space vehicles. Among the innovations to be offered soon by gas manufacturers is a unique method of yearâ€" round climate control. A gasâ€" fired airâ€"conditioning system is being developed which can both heat and cool a home. I need not add that such developments are usually fraught with controversy. the only way to cope with the skyâ€"rocketting costs which have all levels of governâ€" ment worried at this point. So much so, in fact, that at the federalâ€"provincial conference just concluded, the federal government raised the prospect of moving to a new structure of health grants which appears to be geared to encouraging such developments In the United States, demand for natural gas is soaring but discoveries of new reserves are declining, the _ publication _ says. Demand is in fact rising by about seven per cent a year and would likely rise even faster if adequate supplies were available.

Against the movement But the fact that some people can live full and fulfilled lives in the single state does not prove Genesis is false. What it does show us is that God is not bound by his Creation â€" which proves Him all the more the Creator. It shows that He has made life so full annd rich and almost boundless in its possibilities that people can find love and fulfillment in ways other than through the polarity of maleness and femaleness. But, what this story of Genesis is really talking about, at its fundamental depth, is about relationships â€" people in relationship â€" which is the only way in which there can be people â€" period! And because the primary human relationship is that of man and woman this is what the Word of God deals with in the beginning. There is no doubt and there is no denying that this is what life fundamentally is meant to be and is made up of â€" maleness and femaleness; man and woman; made for one another; made to complete one another. The second exception from the main truth of this Genesis story is what we call homosexuality. Perhaps deviation is a better word than exception. For that is how we sometimes refer to those unfortunate people who have somehow fallen from the mainstream. We call them deviates. Sometimes the term deviate is used in a derogatory sense, as though there were some deep degradation in such a condition. This is to misunderstand and to pass judgment where no judgment is perâ€" missible. There are people whose maleness and femaleness has somehow come out blurred instead of clear cut and distinctive. It is to the credit of science that it has shown us that such a condition is not due to moral perversity, but is the result of some imâ€" balance, some unnatural quirk in the person‘s physical makeâ€"up. We are required to recognize the deviation of such persons from the norm of the creative purpose as given in Genesis. We have no right either to blame them or condemn them for a conâ€" dition which they themselves did not choose and are very often powerless to change. Everybody knows there are single men and single women â€" some of them the finest, most fulfilled, and wellâ€"balanced personalities you could hope to meet. There is such a thing as a vocation to the celibate life. It is a true vocation. Jesus, you remember had something to say about it. Last week I was discussing with you what Genesis 2 had to say about the manâ€"woman relationship. Today I am going to continue and conclude that discussion. But before I do that I must say something about two exâ€" ceptions to the general truth of Genesis 2. These are the single state and homosexuality. But now back to Genesis 2. You will read in Verse 24: ‘"For this reason a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife and they become one flesh." There are two truths in this verse which need emphasising today. They are truth about marriage and truth about sex. Truth About Marriage In this verse we see sex â€" the man and woman relationship â€" set in its true context â€" which is marriage â€" monogamous marriage â€" the lifeâ€"long union of one man withâ€"one woman. The man cleaves to the woman and they become one flesh. This bond of marriage is not a repressive restriction upon human freedom; a cripâ€" pling curtailment of human personality. Not at all. It is the absolute basic condition for the full realization of the personality potential which is inherent in our sexual endo wment. Over the past 30 or 40 years we have been conditioned into believing that marriage is a cruel and wicked device for shackling two people together in an increasingly imâ€" possible and intolerable relationship. Let‘s admit there are some bad marriages. Perhaps the protests against conventional marriages â€" marriages that are in letter only and not in spirit â€" perhaps the protests against this type of marriage had to be made. Perhaps divorce had to be made easier. But you see what this has done to the institution of marriage? It has ridiculed and weakened it to the point where it is now possible to ask, as one magazine article did recently. and in all seriousness â€" "Are we the last married generation? "If we are the Ist married generation, we may very well be the last or next to the last generation â€" period ! I honestly cannot see how the human race can continue if marriage and the family break down completely. Unless the human race evolves into something difâ€" ferent from what it has been from time immemorial â€" which means it must evolve into something other than human. And even with all our scientific sophistication and our talk about genetic engineering, I just don‘t I would like to take issue with Mr. G. M. Dodds in his rebuttal of the discssion in your paper of the wildcat postman‘s strike As a trade union man for about 50 years, (I say that) this action by the postmen was not against the governâ€" ment but against the whole country interrupting business at a time when the economy of the country can ill aff%l it And when Mr. Dodds talks about slave wages paid by the government, why is he a government servant? Dear Sir I pity him. I have worked mostly for private enterprise. If this is the answer, possibly this is the time to turn the Post Office into a Crown Corâ€" poration, similar to the Polymer Corporation of Canada The excuse (for the strike) was that they wanted to take the work away from casual help to work overtime for time and a half pay. This is against the trade union movement â€" working overtime. Aiso with so many people unemployed they should endorse the hiring of Sex in context DON REED Rev. Reed is Minister of Westminster United Church in Weston. The two become one â€" not the three or the four or the five or the six! In other words, if you don‘t make it with this woman or this man, you have missed out on your main chance, and it is not likely you will succeed a second time. When we say of two obviously happily married people, ‘"They were just made for each other," we speak truth. But we are very vague about w_h'}t truth we are speaking. What we oftenm fail to see and to acknowledge is that they did not make themselves for each other â€" how could they? But that God made them for each other â€" through the bond of marriage. It is the marriage bond that has made them for each other. In other words, they have become everything to each other because, not only have they been faithful to their marriage vows, they have worked and suffered â€" patiently and trustingly and creatively â€" to fulfill their marriage vows. There‘s a world of difference between negatively being faithful to the marriage vow and creatively working to fulfill the marriage vow. It is because two people, who take their vows seriously in the first place, work ceaselessly thereafter to fulfill their fows that they become, as we say, "made for each toher." They find the fulfillment we spoke of last week, which is the joyâ€"blessed possibility of our sexual potentiality. That potential is realized in the lifeâ€"long reltaionship of man and woman in the unity of marriage. Truth About Sex see that happening. Men will still be men and women will still love it! This brings me to the second truth of our text: truth about sex. For this reason a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife and the two become one flesh. This text sets sex in its right context. You can get a good idea of how much sex has been taken out of context today, when you talk to many young people and you find that what they are looking for and looking forâ€" ward to is not marriage â€" but free love. How grossly then we have deluded our young people if this is the way they look at things. Or rather how weakly and cravenly we have stepped aside and allowed them to be deluded by this tragically false idea of free love. There is no such thing in the world as free love! Love is a costly business. There may be free sex or free lust. There is no such thing as free love. Love is costly â€" more costly than fine speaking or having the courage or the intellectual capacity to see into the future; more costly than performing phenomenal feats by means of faith or than sacrificing everything, even life itself â€" as St. Paul tells us in I Cor. 13: the love that is free is a cheap and tawdry substitute for love; it is in fact lust playing its ageâ€"long antic masquerade. It deceives and defiles, both she that gives it, and he that takes it. Why have we got sex so weirdly out of context today? It is because we have been conned into taking our text for life from the movies, and the glossy magazines, and the goggleâ€"box instead of the Bible more about this next week! Man and woman were created for one another in the wholeness and responsible relationship of love â€" in which the sexual element if one integral part. They were not created for one another in the unwholesome and irresponsible relationship of lust â€" where the sexual aspect is the beâ€"all and the endâ€"all of their existence. The sexual relationship in marriage is rather like the sounding of a note in music. When the note is sounded on the piano or organ, or any musical instrument, what you and I hear is not that particular note, Câ€"Dâ€"F or G, or whatever â€" simply and solely. We hear along with it certain reverberating overtones and undertones. And it is these overtones and undertones which give the note its warm resonance and pleasing texture. If our ear did not catch these resonant overtones, if we heard only the note itself, then it would not be a pleasing sound at all â€" the note would be raw and harsh and piercing â€" a sound that would not be a pleasing sound at all â€"the note would be raw and harsh and piercing â€" a sound that would make us want to put our hands to ears and shut it out. This single note in music and its overtones gives us an idea of the proper relationship of sex to marriage. Sex is the single note; it is marriage that gives it its pleasing, and resonant overtones. \ It is marriage that gives to sex an aura and an ambience and an atmosphere that redeems it from mere animal passion. From there, in the passions, where it is so obâ€" viously rooted and grounded, marriage lifts sex up and dignifies it with the title of love â€" the highest gift we humans are capable of conferring upon one another and receiving from one another. casual help.
