Page $â€"The Times,, Thursday, July 12, 1973 , But this is only one area we are duplicating when we support the United Way. There are so many others. And the way all levels of governments have been so free with our money lately in trying to out "socialist‘"‘ one another, there is little need for a continuance of the professional welfare collection agency and their high priced fulltime staff. Some of these are run with funds from church or service organizations, some are funded by the federal government â€" OFY grants â€" some from provincial coffers but all go to their municipal governments looking for handouts. Apart from the United Way Community Inâ€" formation Centre, which syphons part of the $15,000,000 being asked for this year, there are about fifteen or more local community inâ€" formation centres operating within the Borough of York alone. How much money and time could be saved in, say, community information centres. The list goes on â€" and on â€" and on. But nowhere does it point out the duplication of services between the United Way, federal, provincial and municipal governments and the myriad of other groups and agencies who are doing the same things to help the unfortunates within our society. Nurses and next was the Red Cross blood transfusion service. Number four on the list was Big Brothers. Of the Metro total, York had a mere 4.72 percent of fatherless boys taking part in the program. Cradleship Creche was fifth on the list. This agency is expected to look after some 60 children this year from homes where the mother is the sole support. We were not told the The first was the Family Service Agency of which 6,697 families in Metro were served. Of these 398 live in York â€" less than 6 percent. Number two was the St. Elizabeth Visiting A sampling news release crossed our desk last weekâ€"edited so that we might point out a strict order of importance â€" showing where some of the money went in relation to what we are told are just 14 or 75 United Way member agencies operating within the Borough of York. We just can‘t see the continued existance of the Red Feather, United Appeal or, as it has reâ€" named itself this year, the United Way. There is such a tremendous duplication in the social welfare field and a pile of government dollars available to aid the "havenots‘" that we wonder why the United Way must raise close to $15,000,000 for the Metropolitan Toronto area. 40 years ago An extensive program of works is being mapped out by Engineer Gordon Baker, following orders from North York council, that the unemployed be asked to ‘work one day each week for their relief. Road grading, weed cutting, ditch digging and many other ocâ€" dupations will occupy the mens‘ time when they report for work and it is thought by council to be an excellent may not have been finally approved or probably tightness of money may have its effect, but the peoPle of the town have not yet been informed of the cause for 60 years ago The citizens of Weston have been looking in vain, for the turning of the first sod for the new Library building.

While no definite schedule had been drawn up last week by Mr. Baker, it was stated that he plans to notify the unemployed the day they have to work each week when they receive their relief vouchers. If a man is not fit to work, he will have to bring a doctor‘s certificate to prove he is _ sick or disabled. 20 years ago A special committee was selected at Monday‘s council meeting to look into the matter of smoke bylaw similar to that of Toronto in an effort to come to a solution of the irritating fumes emitted by the Canadian Gypsum plant. The committee was anâ€" neunced after council had met in committee and discussed the situation for more than half an hour. The committee will look into the Toronto bylaw which governs the problem of smoke nuisance. This bylaw, a recent addition to the Toronto laws, governs all cases where smoke is deemed a nuisance and limits the I happen to be one of the hundreds of people who like drum corps. Perhaps it is because I have seen corps turn out some very fine musicians and young men. To me of course, it does not matter where the young people come from, they are just that â€" young people who want to play in a band and the drum corps offer fine musical training as well as some recreation some who would otherwise be on a street corner. I am sure that all the members of the Clans of York Pipe Band, the St. Cecilia‘s Chorus or all those who participate in I know you have been aware of the fact that I have been an ardent supporter and continuous reader of the Weston Times and while I have not always agreed with some of your articles and editorials, I suppose I have either been too busy or lazy to reply â€" until toâ€"day when I read "Drums along the Humber." . The editor: Space at premium emitting of such to no more than six minutes of every hour. f 10 years ago The long arm of the law has been brought into the case of the Weston Golf Club fence versus Peter Carter of Adriatic Drive. Carter has appeared before Etobicoke council and committees asking that the sixâ€" foot fence topped with barbed wire be removed. He later changed his request to just the removal of the barbed wire. He maintained the barbed wire was dangerous to youngsters and made the area,look like a concentration camp. A letter from the solicitor of the golf club stated the barbed wire on the fence had recently been removed and the police have been requested to do whatever they can to protect the fence in the future. The letter also said the club had found it necessary to erect the fence because of the number of children using the club property and vandalism to the No doubt, from your editorial, the Borough of York may have made an error but, on the other hand, space could be at a premium as this is the height of drum corp rehersal time and any port in a storm. I am sorry that the residents abutting Lion Park have been disturbed but it seems to me that a three way dialogue would have eased the situation. The organizers of bands â€" all bands â€" are aware of the noise factors and some have searched high and low for practice space away from residential areas â€" and some supporters are glad to offer facilities to these groups, Humber College for one. the recreation programs sponsored by the Borough of York, do not live in the Borough.
