CAl Re «2 Thursday. July 14. 1960 _ TME TIMES & GUIDE as m~"police village" : precisely does that mean washer and froner, 2 days weekly, $1.25 day. Mrs. in terms of local lufix and responsibility ? Banks, corner King and North Station Streets. This is rightly a job for the experts. Hopefully, we leave it to them. Preliminary to such scientific probings, this newspaper presumes to suggest that some "sampâ€" m of the knowledge and awareness of local citiâ€" on grassâ€"roots political questions might be taken Wh local canvasses, tHow many residents of Woodbridge can ex%a}in the operations of a village within a township? Why What inspires such local interest in the petty intricacies of U.S. politics? And what, in the same g:rnons who are so enthralled by the minutiae of lowâ€"theâ€"border political manoeuverings, generates such an appalling ignorance of and histaste for discusâ€" sion of political problems and personalities here at home? Some guesses at the reasons for this quaint anomaly could be offered here. None of those guesses would be particularly flattering to those information media, newspapers included, which should rouse inâ€" terest at the same time they are supplying informaâ€" tion. Unfortunately, they would be no more than Why is it that a resident of North York who couldn‘t give you the name of the member of Council for his ward, the name of his member of parliament or even the party to which his provincial representaâ€" tive belongs, can pontificate on the intricacies of segregation as practiced in Mississippi and why the governor of California is unable to deliver the votes of that state‘s delegates en bloc? Experts in the psychology of mass reaction are welcome to their more or less enlightened findings on the phenomenon of tremendous Canadian interest in a foreign political exercise which no Canadian takes nart in. While these measurers of moods and the causes therefor are at work, this newspaper ofâ€" fers some subjects for inquiry. A quick survey of newspapers hereabouts, with particular attention to the amount of space devoted to the U.S. presidential nominations, would seem to indicate that this paper is about the only one which : (1) does not have an accredited correspondent assignâ€" ed to both conventions; (2) does not have any partiâ€" cular preference for any announced candidateâ€"what ever hapvened to Rutherford B. Hayes?â€" (3) does not expect to be able to tell any reader what he will not be able to find out in more elaborate detail from television‘ and those Canadian newspapers which concentrate on news of the United States. So, on balance, this newspaper supports Councilâ€" lor Wood. His idea is based on the vanishing virtues of local initiative and political courageâ€"losses which may someday prove to be more than the advantages of metropolitan government were worth. Such courage as Councillor Wood has demonâ€" strated in his action should not be underestimated. He is a locally elected member of a Council where contact with the ratepayers is extremely close. If, by the final decision of the judges, the residents of Church street should wind up living on "Hospital Drive"â€"an earlier suggestion by Mr. Woodâ€"there won‘t be enough licorice in the tropics to make the blackballs the Church street residents will be dropâ€" ping into the ballot box next December. Justifying his initiative, Councillor Wood has pointed out that there is a letter from Metro authoriâ€" ties requesting Weston to submit suggestions for reâ€"naming locat streets which are duplicated elseâ€" where in the metropolis. Typically, the rer‘uest has never lfen .rescinded, although "expert ‘opinion" is that Meétro now prefers to handle the reâ€"naming itself. The Wood proposal, as presently outlined, calls for anpointment of two wellâ€"known and longâ€"time Weston residents to act as judges in a contest to determine which names are most suitable to replace the present redundantâ€"in Metro termsâ€"titles of Church street and Macdonald avenue. To refute the statement that Metro authorities could carry out the changes with a minimum of "fuss" would be difficult, if not impossible. The gentlemen at the centre of the semiâ€"imperial hub which holds the thirteen municipalities together have the insouciance which marks staff officers at an army headquarters, who know only too well that practically nobody is ever going to take any shots at them. They can get on with the job at hand with reâ€" lative immunity from potâ€"shooting by residents on the streets they intend to reâ€"baptize. Neither rain, nor threat of political reprisal stays them from comâ€" pleting their appointed task. They are "in", along with "daddyâ€"oh" and nobody is going to move them out. You want a street name? Take your pick of Fredgee Boulevardâ€"and that‘s that! Perhaps the insouciance does not quite reach that degree of arrogance but, on past experience, a man would be well advised not to stake too much on the possibility that much weight would be placed on local sensibilities. (It‘s a big metropolitan area, brother; really big. You wouldn‘t want to endanger the metropolitan concept by too much worry about local feelings, would you, brother?) * With due consideration for both views, and reâ€" spect for the sincerity of both holders of the conflictâ€" ing opinious, this newspaper is inclined to agree with Councillor Wooad. propos‘lfbnsed on the claim that officials of Metroâ€" politan Toronto are in a position to carry out the necessary name changes with a minimum of "fuss and bother". In a laudable demonstration of personal initiative and civic pride, Councilor Bert Wood, of Weston, has offered to finance a contest intended to produce suitâ€" able names for thaose streets in the town which are duplicates of other thoroughfares in the metropolitan area. ‘Principal Publishers Ltd.

Mr. Van Huyse credited the accelerated pace to "excellent planning and coâ€"operation" between offiâ€" cials of Metropolitan Toronto, North York Township and the‘developers. As an example of speedy coâ€" operation, he cited the current sixth vhase of the project, for which draft plan was submitted on Feb. 14, draft approval received May 19 and registration completed May 30.
