Climuxing I week-long cum- puign, lncluding a Speaker's ral- ing- which outlawed a question to the StyEttty9tte_ral on enforce- ment of Ontario's liquor laws, Ver- non Singer, member for York Cen- tre in the provincial Legislature, announced his intention to make a forms] accusation of liquor law violations against the Globe and Mail Ind the Telegram. Emphuiling his own view - that liquor advertising is neither inherently illegal nor immoral - the York Centre legislator assail- ed the "hypocrisy" of Government action on the liquor issue. "This government has allowed this sort, of thing to go on-it is being hypocritical-and if it wants to change the law it should do it by tunending the statute," Singer said, during the debate on the Speech from the Throne at Queen's Park. Toronto Papers Will Be Charged tor. liquor Ads Citing advertising revenue fig- ures from newspapers and maga- zines which carried beer and liqum advertising, the member for York Centre repeatedly asked if per- mission to "publish" such adver- tising had been granted by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario as provided by. the Act. " The Liberal member concentrate ed on the definition of the word 'lpublish" as the crucial point in the matter of liquor advertising. The two Toronto newspapers, the Globe and Mail and The Telegram, had circumvented the law by hav- ing special editions "printed" out- side the province, he pointed out.

Councillor William Perry, chairman of the traffic committee, noti- fied committee members that an early meeting would be he]?l to discuss projects on which the funds could be use . T To provide for trimming and removing some 2,500 trees in North York damaged by the late December ice- storm, North York Council voted a special appropriation of $40,000. Half the sum will be released immediately. Estimates place the work requirements for pruning, trimming and hauling away the damaged trees at eleven weeks' work for 20 men. T 't, Mt.

"Either the Attorney-General and his law advisers have not bothered to find out or, if they found it out, they have been negligent in their duty," he continued. . The Government had made On- tario a laughing stock for the world by maintaining the present liquor laws on the statute books and not enforcing them, Singer said. The policy was designed to delude honest opponents of liquor into thinking that the Government was controlling the use of alcohol through provincial laws. The same hypocritical attitude allowed the Frost government to appease the advocates of easier accessibility to alcohol by turning a blind eye to its own regulations, he charged. Summing up, the York Centre member remarked that he did not believe in a wide-open liquor policy. The real iniquity in the ex- isting situation was that public disdain of the rule of law' was be- ing encouraged by having unrea- sonable. hyprocritical and unen- forceable laws on the statute books, he concluded. The immediate impetus for Ver- non Singer's decision to initiate action against the two Toronto newspapers was the ruling on Monday by the Speaker on the York Centre member's question to the Attorney-General asking the latter if he intended to take action against the Globe and Mail and The Telegram "for exhibiting, pub- lishing or displaying ads of or con- cerning liquor." When the Speaker ruled that the ques'tion was out of order, the York Centre member annouriced that he would take action against tlte.'hewspapers, which he said, would require the Attorney Gen- anal to not Fun Nights Held At Pike btipthndriumber Valley The Etobicoke Recreation com- mittee presented its annual “Fun Night."

Discussion of the matter of fire department sal-riea revealed that Weston's rate, As set in the agree- ment being negotiated, will be as most exactly' in line with the aver age over the Metro'area. Councillor Charles Conroy called attention to the fact that the pro- posed increase-averaging $225 per year per man-amounted to $2,700 altogether for the l2-man force in the coming year. Opposing the increase, Council- lor Lloyd Sainsbury said that con- cessions to the firemen would launch I chain reaction of similar request: from other municipal em- ployees. He demanded that the inc crease be held to $200. Suggesting that Weston should be "neither pikers nor spend- thrifta", Mayor, Holley answered Councillor Sainsbury’s objection by claiming that it would not be fair to hold the firemen “countable for the "pomOle future demands of other municipal employees." "We'll handle any requests for increases in exactly the same way for all employees, whether they're union- rized or not. Each case will be judged on its own merits," the Mayor said. Adoption of the new salary rites will alter the existing sched- ule with effect from Jmuary lat.
