However, we also believe that to keep York alive we should continue to work together â€" and support each other. Perhaps the time has long past for the borough to retain a separate identity.

The Weston York Times, which attempts to contribute a great deal to this community, has been overlooked once again as a medium to carry a paid message from the Borough of York to its residents. The Globe and Mail manages to find time and the space to publish events of our council meetings. Is the Borough of York wooing amalgamation? T‘would appear so. At least, sometimes one gets this impression. The latest hint toward this thought comes with the awarding of the publishing of the auditor‘s report in the Toronto Sun. We have nothing against the Sun. But, we wonder. The Sun never, never shines on council.

How much more mentally and physically ‘healthy a With the land available, we must now turn our best efâ€" forts toward developing the best possible combination of facilities that will promote the maximum public parâ€" ticipation. The area most directly concerned has a total lack of sports and recreational facilities, thus part of the park development must be geared to local electors. Many suggestions are scrutiny of a Standing Committee of the Legislature. But in the process of the investigation, other features of the board‘s operation, and particularly the attitudes and actions of some of its top personnel, were most disturbing. The greatest public conâ€" cern centred in â€" the allegation that the Ford Motor Company had sucâ€" cessfully appealed a special assessment of $300,000 because of its high accident rate. It was discovered (by a Globe and Mail reporter) that at precisely the time the Ford appeal was under consideration, Mr. J. W. P.

If and the Lily of the Valley coming forth that will benefit the whole of North York. These range from concert band shells to horseshoe pitches. Early in the fight to retain York Downs, one of the _ ratepayer _ groups produced a list of many proposed public uses. Mr. Draper testified that his transgression in purâ€" chasing a car directly from Ford Motor Company when the _ $300,000 _ special assessment was under consideration, and subject to his recommendation, was ‘‘simply a matter of timing." The report disagreed: "He was guilty of a fundamental, gross indiscretion with respect of his purchase of the Mustang car in 1970, with confidence in my sense of judgement and the fact that I can analyse these reports and hopefully exercise ob jective thinking when I make my comment." Legislative Committee was scathing in its references to this matter. It quotes Mr. Draper as saying of himself Preliminary decisions will not likely be made until early fall leaving a reasonable length of time for you or your association to offer four thoughts and ideas. Further information may be obtained by contacting me personally at the borough offices. As a fullâ€"time alderman, I am in the office nearly every morning and afternoon. your association has any specialists in this field, or any suggestions of its own, I would welcome the subâ€" mission of a comprehensive plan for the entire site. York Downs Park development will be a long term project and priorities as to which facilities will be developed first are going to depend on what you feel is most urgently needed along with the availability of funds. (Detailed plans of the site including land contours are available.) I would also be most appreciative of any suggestions that will conâ€" tribute to making this park a landmark in our community. All of which brings me to the comments of the report on the key figure, Chairman Bruce Legge.

The report states, in a masterpiece of understatement: ‘"The committee must record that Reference to the secret telephone recordings raises another aspect of the board‘s personnel operations which was not simply restricted to Mr. Draper. In face of such a conâ€" demnation, one wonders about Mr. Draper‘s conâ€" tinuing in such a sensitive position when his ‘sense of judgment‘ and ‘objective thinking‘ have been found so sadly lacking. Its general conclusion speaks for itself. Under the heading of conflict of inâ€" terest, it said: "Mr. Draper occupies a senior, responâ€" sible and sensitive position at the board, requiring a clear insight into the ethical standards incidental to that appointment. He must also have the appearance of doing justice. No taint of conflict of interest can be tolerated in such a position. He must at all times be above and beyond exâ€" traneous personal influences from the persons or corâ€" porations dealing with him in his capacity as director of safety for the board." After _ reviewing the evidence, the committee report dismissed . Mr. Draper‘s claim to having the confidence of his superiors: ‘‘Mr. Draper‘s ‘sense of judgment‘ and ‘objective thinking‘ were sadly lacking.

The performers include approximately 200 young Mormon men and women serving as missionaries in New York State, about 240 girls mostly from western colleges, and some 125 members of the Church in New York State and other eastern areas. Included in this total of 565 are 40 young Mormons required to handle the light and sound systems, the properties, stage management and other technical and adâ€" ministrative details. All of them pay their expenses to travel to Hill Cumorah and to maintain themselves during the rehearsal period and the week of the Pageant perâ€" formances. Following the practice established with the first performance of the pageant in 1937, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterâ€"day Saints (Mormon) makes no charge for admission or for parking, sells no souvenirs, programs or refreshments, neither solicits nor accepts donations. A lighting system with powerful spotlights from lighting towers, torpedo lights, footlights â€" 80 circuits in all with five miles of underground wiring â€" lights up the 25 stages and for some scenes plays on shimmering curtains of water. Sound Effects and Lightning All the magic of the latest techniques and electronics are employed to give the Hill Cumorah Pageant an almost unbelievable realism. The exhortations of prophets, the counsel of kings, the revelry of a pagan people, the destruction of the City of Zarahemla, the roll of thunder, the crash of lightning, the lamentations of the stricken inhabitants, even the bleating of sheep and the chirping of crickets, along with the majestic music of a symphony orchestra, the 11,000 pipe Salt Lake Tabernacle Organ, and a 300â€"voice chorus resound over the amphitheater from a fiveâ€"track mileâ€"andâ€"aâ€" half long stereophonic tape recording. Some 100,000 people from{overithe United â€" States and from foreign lands normally journey to Palmyra to see this the most sumptuous and elaborate of all the world‘s annual outdoor religious dramatic specâ€" tacles. More than 500 performers, arrayed in exotic costumes of Hebrew, Roman, Aztec and Mayan design, deployed on 25 stages on the wide western slope of Hill Cumorah will enact scenes from the Bible and the Book of Mormon, the latter being held to be the record of Christ‘s followers in the New World and thus giving the pageant its formal title, America‘s Witness for Christ. A recorded oneâ€"hour concert by the Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle Choir precedes each performance. Jesus, after his death and resurrection in Jerusalem, comes to his followers in ancient America and ministers to them. Epic Pageant Story This is the epic story of the Mormon Hill Cumorah Pageant scheduled for its 35th anniversary production in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State at 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday nights, July 24â€"29. Magnificent cities, imposing temples, glittering royal courts rise in antient America. This longâ€"age civilization exâ€" periences tranquil times, tempestuous times, tragic battles between the forces of good and evil, the falling of a faction into lives of idolatry and savagery in the wilderness, the counsel of upright kings and prophets, the tyranny of wicked rulers, the tolerance of the Lord and the anger of the Lord leading him to destroy the principal city. Christ ministering to his followers in the Holy Land, a scene from the Hill Cumorah Pageant,, scheduled for its 35th anniversary production near Palmyra in Western New York, Monday through Saturday nights, July 24â€"29. After his death and resurrection in Jerusalem, Christ is seen appearing to his followers in the New World, teaching them and counselling them. About 600 B.C. Jerusalem is destroyed. By order of the Lord, the Prophet Lehi and his followers are saved, sail to the New World and found a civilization that lasts a thousand years. _ Mormon pageant at N Y Yours truly LF.

The Prophet moved his church from New York to Ohio, to Missouri, and then to Illinois where he was martyred in 1844. Succeeding him as president, Brigham Young led the Mormons to the desolate Great Salt Lake Valley. With the aid of irrigation, the Mormons built cities and villages, laid out fertile farms, colonized the Interâ€"Mountain West. Missionaries carried the Mormon belief around the globe so that today the church has a membership of over 3 million â€" an increase of 33 per cent in the past 10 years. Every working day, the church completes a new building somewhere in the world. Dr. Harold I. Hansen, of Brigham Young University at Provo, Utah, has been the director of the Hill Cumorah Pageant since its inception in 1937 with a oneâ€"night perâ€" formance, with borrowed costumes and borrowed props. He is professor of dramatic arts and director of the ’I’ouring\Repertory Theater of the university, and is also chairman of the American Theater Association‘s Overseas Touring Committee. i Dr. Hansen has studied and observed drama, pantomime and pageantry exâ€" tensively abroad and has presented dramatic performances in many parts of the world. Last fall, under the sponsorship of the Department of Defense, he took a cast on a Church Founded in 1830 Translating the plates, Joseph published the text as the Book of Mormon in 1830 and the same year on the basis of this chronicle and other revelations from the Lord he founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterâ€"day Saints as the restored church of Christ. Toward the end of this civilization, the Prophet Mormon inscribes a condensed history of the people on plates of gold and gives them to his son, Moroni, for safekeeping. After the last great battle between the followers of the Lord and their enemies, when both sides fight to the death and the civilization is destroyed, Morni buries the.plates on Hill Cumnorah in AD 421. Ther@Â¥hey remain hidden for 14 centuries, until they are revealed to Joseph Smith, a farm boy of the neighborhood, by Moroni as an angel, a messenger from the Lord, in Nativity, Other Scenes Among the key scenes in the pageant are the Nativity in Bethlehem, Christ ministering to his followers in the Holy Land, his climactic appearance to his followers in ancient America after his death and resurrection in Jerusalem, the escape of Israelites from doomed Jerusalem to the New World, the martyrdom of the righteous Prophet Abinadi burned at the stake by the godless King Noah, the miraculous conâ€" version of the pagan King Lamoni in his wilderness retreat, the mobilization of General Moroni‘s army to defend Christianity, liberty and the freedom of worship, the sudden darkness and other ominous phenomena of nature in America at the time of the Savior‘s death, and perhaps the most electrifying, overâ€"powering scene in all the history of pageantry â€" the destruction of the City of Zarahemla by lightning, conflagration and earthquake. Hill Cumorah is four miles south of the village of Palmyra, on State Route 21, two miles north of the Manchester Interchange No. 43 on the New York State Thruway, about 25 miles east of Rochester. !:VW #1 6
