check with me on the authenticity at a quote which was in the noon edition of a Toronto Daily newupaper _ before reprinting it in the Weston-York Times edition ot January 21th. I might add that the error in the Daily It is unusual that the WegtoesYo6Ttmmdidnot Page was retracted in the law edltlom that day. (See enclosure). I do believe the Mayor ot York, whoever he may be, deserves the courtesy of a telephone call and at least to be asked for his comments. I received no telephone call, but it is interesting to note that time could be found to contact two people, Mr. A. Basian, President of the Businessmen's Association, who thank goodness, ex- pressed disbelief of my statement and also implied that it would be a surprise to him if I had made such a quote. I was pleased to read that Mr. Chris Tanks ex- pressed his amazement . . . and rightlyso. . .because he knows that I have always been concerned about the business community in York, and the public records are proof of that. My whole life has been a continuing background of business. My parents were in business in the former Township of York and I have been associated in business in my profession as a druggist on Jane Street for approximately 20 years. There are not too many elected officials who can attest to that business background. I am more than qualified to be fully aware and cognizant of the needs of our merchants. I have always maintained that a viable community needs Blind make contribution White cane week "Blind people have never been more successful," said A. N. Magill, managing director, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, in a special White Cane Week interview. by Dorothy Clare Kilburn There is an upsurge of interest in prophecy among Bible believing Christians today. The understanding of this fascinating subject has been greatly assisted by Hal Lindsey's book, The Late Great Planet Earth. Hal Lindsey is a graduate of the School of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary and has 600,000 copies of his book in print. Liars to the editor _Y_ork_ has ob.ligptiory-)(0ite Points to ponder The curiosity which man has always had in the events which will transpire in the future has prompted some to seek the answer to these questions in witchcraft, astrology and spiritism. But the most authentic revelation of the future, the Bible, has been sadly neglected even by Bible believing Christians. The Bible not only tells it as it is but also tells it as it will be. Many are its prophecies which have come to pass. But the most fascinating aspect is that we are living in the days when prophecies are being fulfilled. The whole world should be interested in Bible prophecy. Why? Because it concerns us all. Each one of us is tied up in prophecy's bundle. It involves all mankind. The word of God tells us that owing to our departure from the paths of righteousness His wrath will come upon the earth. In Isaiah M: 5, 6, the word of God says: "The earth also is deflled under the inhabitants thereof (we have polluted the environment) because they have transgressed the laws: changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse ( our disobedience, our sin) devoured the earth and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left."

Many drug stores. hardware stores and large grocery chain stores have closed down throughout Metropolitan Toronto because of changes in the retail business and shopping habits, increased com- petition, lack of parking, non-competitive prices, etc. Expenditures are rising and it is difficult to maintain increased revenue unless you are one of the giants in the retail business today. The small merchant on Rogers Road suffers from the same problem as most small merchants today throughout Metropolitan Toronto, and this is com- petition from shopping centres. When Council NF proved the major shopping centre on Eglinton Avenue, I warned it that with that approval, the small businessmen on Eglinton Avenue and Rogers Road would feel the brunt of stiff, keen competition and, un- fortunately, my prediction has held true. The Silver- thorn area has been designated R4 for almost fourteen years and un- fortunately there has been no development there. The Planning Board could have another look at it. their own hard work, careful vocational counselling and training and the assistance of public spirited em- ployers." He spoke of the training a blind person takes before he is recommended to a company. _ spoke of this war in Matthew 24: 21, 22. "For there shall be great tribulation, such as was never since the begin- ning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days shall be shortened there shall no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." This world war will be triggered by an invasion of the state of Israel. Russia, Germany, Ethiopia, Libya and Persia (Iran) will unite against Israel. God will become so angry at this invasion of His people that He will become red in the face. Ezekiel 38: 18. "My fury shall come up in my face." He will fight against these hordes with fire and brim- stone. Ezekiel 38:22. "And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood, and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands and upon the many people. that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire and brlmstone." China will also be involved in this conflict. Recently on a television program, The Voice of the Dragon, China boasted that she could raise an army of 200 million militiamen. The exact number of this army is predicted in Revelation 9:16. How do we flee this holocaust? As in the days of Noah there is a place of safety for all who desire to please God, to be clean and pure in His sight. That safety is His Son. God let loose His wrath against sin when He punished His Son on the Cross of Calvary revealing His tender love for each one of us. All who put their faith and mm m Him will be saved from the coming wrath of God. "We shall be saved from wrath through Him." (Jesus Christ). Romans 5.9: Forgivenem and eternal safety are the things which Christ bought for us when He suffered so terribly on the Cram of Calvary. bet us be wise and place our trust in Him. had my support for an all street wrung lot, mum to that I urged council not to approve manning at land: on Siltrerthom at Rogers Road for eight store! because it would over commercialize that area.

They had my support on a re-zoning ap- plication in the Eglinton- Weston Road area, and they had my support with their appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. I also would like to correct a mi;statement in the last paragraph of the article in question. It was stated that York in 1971 experienced the lowest increase in assessment ' ' . 33 per cent ... in its history. This is erroneous. In 1971 there was an increase of 2.91 per cent which is the highest of a three year period, ter- minating in 1971. The .33 per cent has been definitely taken out of context and actually is the 1972 assessment roll, which was frozen at the beginning of this year by the Provincial Government. My public record of in- volvement and concern for the businessmen and the residents of York is too well known for anyone to imply by design or to suggest otherwise. It begins with several weeks of formal study in a CNIB centre where the trainee learns to read and write Braille as a means of jotting down notes, telephone numbers and the hundreds of details you cannot trust ta memory. He learns to use the white cane as a means of mobility. He also learns the numerous skills of every day living. "Most important is a positive attitude," Mr. Magill said, "which em- phasizes ability instead of disability." "Training includes the provision of text books for blind students," the managing director con- tinued. "They forward their books to the national library to be read on tape or tram scribed into Braille, ac- cording to the request." With more than 200 blind young people now enrolled in the universities of Canada, the text book service is a major project. These students are looking forward to meaningful careers in the professions and kindred phases of work. They will enter social work, law, computer programming, economic research and many others. One blind student is even studying astrophysics at Harvard University. In their future work, these blind students will make a valuable contribution to the culture of Canada. "It is thanks to the understanding and cooperation of sighted employers over the past fifty years," said Mr. Magill, "that blind students have been able to enter many challenging new fields on an equal basis with thr sighted. That is why we are making a special bow to employers of blind Canadians this White Cane Week." m Roy-1 Von: mt, and 'earteet Red PLANT l W051” rm". w3W FEEDER SALE 4000 EGLINTON AVE.

But two factors slowed prom-cu. Firstly there was an excep- tionally fut growth at the secondary labor force - this includes married women and teenagers who treat employ- ment as an alternative to other activities. Secondly. the Canadian economy entered 1971 with a considerable margin of under-utilized productive capacity, and the production increase merely led to a greater use of existing machinery and equipment. In fact, the greatest impact of the production increase was reflected in an impro- vement in output per man hour. Since unemployment re- mained a problem, the relatively high rate of price inflation during 1971 was doubly disappointing. Although when viewed on a basis of year-over-year per- centage increases, the Cana- dian price performance last year was the best among the major industrialized Coun- tries and as the Canadian economy enters 1972 most indicators are on a firm upward trend. Whether this trend will continue depends upon the course of monetary and fiscal policy, and the progress of business con- fidence and expectations. In connection with the first, the bank notes that'the full impact of tax cuts and expenditure increases am nounced by the federal government last October has not yet been felt, and many expect another move towards fiscal ease in the next budget. In addition, the evidence suggests that an increased stimulus will be exerted at the provincial and municipal government levels. Secondly, in connection with business confidence, there are also good reasons to expect a significant im- provement. The rapid in- crease in sales which have been forecast for '72 will undoubtedly have a bene- ficial impact on business expectations. The reduction in corporate income' taxes in October, together with the removal of the U.S. sur- charge in December, should also improve the business In the external sector prospects for the year also appear to be bright. The recent wheat contracts with the U.S.S.R. and China, and the strong economic recovery which is expected in the U.S. should also contribute to ytrong growth in exports. However the bank cautions that it would be dangerous to assume that this upturn will quickly eliminate the unemployment problem. If the labor force grows by the same 3 per cent shown for '71, the average unem- ployment for the year would be in the vicinity of 6 per cent, Try this bunch of low on herfor Valentino; Duly.
