VANISHED LANDMARKâ€"The old Wood:â€" bridge Public School as it looked in 1953, just before it lost its upper storey in the extensive renovations which changed it As was stated earlier, the issue is quite simple. Leaving aside the possibility of accidents, what was to be determined was whether the convenience of the Downsview Airport for Flying Club members was important enough to justify the inconvenience gnd discomfort the Club‘s use of the Airport would inâ€" flict on nearby residents. Appropriately enough, much of the discussion at Monday‘s meeting of North York council on the Toronto Flying Club‘s reauest for township support on its application to the Department of Transport for permission to operate out of Downsview Airport was far out in the wild, blue yonder. If the Downsview field were the only one availâ€" able within a great distance of Toronto, the issue might be less easily resolved. However, facilities already exist at Maple, only a few miles to the north of Downsview. From which fact a reasonable man might logically deduce that the Flying Club was more concerned with the comfort of its members than their convenience. Although it was not mentioned during discussion of the Flying Club‘s request, growing resentment against being inconvenienced for the benefit of others was a latent factor in the attitude of Downsview residents on the flying issue. Location of the major driving testing station for metropolitan Toronto at Keele and Wilson avenue has undoubtedly benefitted innumerable Metro cftizéns. It has proved somewhat less than that to those who live in the vicinity of the station. Residential streets in the area are thronged all day and every day by driving school vehicles operated by those learning to drive, who prefer to do their learning on the routes the examiners will take them over when testing time comes. Convenience for the learners is certainly provided; the inevitable annoyance to local residents seems not to have been taken into account when plans for the testing station were drawn up. So, the local gentry would seem to be justified in their opposition to the proposal that more planes would have the use of Downsview Airport. Perhaps the most surprising statement of the entire proceedings was that made by one council member, who noted that the council had no authority to act on the Flying Club‘s request. The statement was true einough ; the ultimate decision will and must be made by the federal Department of Transport. But the councillor‘s point was more legalistic than vrealistic. The issue had been raised by the Flying Club. Their request for support on their application incited the opposition of the local residents. Within that framework, the matter was properly one for council discussion and decisoin. From here, the matter seems more than simple; it‘s easy. The request has been discussed. The council should turn down the request. It‘s as unâ€" complicated as that. After all the cotton wool is removed from the package, the issue emerges as a relatively simple one. The overwhelming majority of the residents on all sides of Downsview Airport are against any expanâ€" sion of flying activities there. Even the most rabid opponents of the Toronto Flying Club‘s request conâ€" cede the good work that the Club has done; many of them are weekâ€"end flying enthusigsts ; even more are former R.C.A.F. servicemen interested in promoting flying. They were not against the Toronto Flying Club. They are against the Flying Club‘s operating out of Downsview Airport. Opponents of the Flying Club‘s request are open to indictment to a degree; their use of the remote possibility of a plane crash into assemblies of chilâ€" dren as an argument for their cause is more likely to win unthinking friends than to influence reasonâ€" able people. On this matter of accident probability and improbability, both sides seem to haveé ‘protested too much. Managing: Editor .... v J. L. O‘Hagan Advertising Director jener J. M.

Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association The Flying Club‘s brief, to coin a phrase, stressâ€" ed the remarkable accidentâ€"free record which has been compiled over the many years of its operation. In the opinion of many observers, the Club might have been briefer and less concerned with the acciâ€" dent angle. * Principal Publishers Ltd. V. J. McMillan â€" President and Publisher Shoo!

The school served chilâ€" dren of the Woodbridge area since 1894. of the audience at the Sunday evening openâ€"air concert by the Weston Silver Band at the Band Stand. A tradition of the town, dating back for more than fifty years, concerts by the Weston Silver Band have been summer highlights for genâ€" erations of town residents and visitors from nearâ€" by areas. The programme for the concert on the evening this photograph was taken offered someâ€" thing for almost every musical taste. There was MUSIC FOR A SUMMER NIGHT enthralls part All the chatter about major league baseball for Toronto dies away in the face of the cold fact that it would take from $3,000,000 up to provide a suitâ€" able stadium anywhere in Toronto or around it. Mr. John Cooke suggested that figure as anâ€"estimate a while back. Dr. C. D. Milani, in a recent press reâ€" lease mentioned everything but money in his version of what and where the stadium should be. However, Mr. Milani indicated that the money, he preferred not to talk about, should be provided â€" at least most of it â€" by the municipal taxpayers. And that one fact is enough to put the whole proposal on ice for a long time to come. If private dough isn‘t going into the proposition because the prospects are dim for heavy patronage, then you can bet every dollar the wife has left over from the washing she takes in that the politicians are not going to beat any tomtoms for financing any staâ€" diums with the voting taxpayer‘s money. From where we sit, major league ball hereabouts is long gone, just like Mr. John Cooke, who is scheduled to go south for good when the U.S. Senate gets through with his bid for citizenship, Now that the politicians have got into the act â€"which is both necessary and inevitable since it seems that nobody‘s going to do any stadium building unless "everybody" puts up the dough â€" even the most casually interested sports fan can expect to get much more confused before he gets any more enâ€" lightened. For which reason this seemed a better time than any to get some facts on the record before that record gets all cluttered up with rhetoric, tightropeâ€" walking and legal hairâ€"splitting. So, fact one seems to be that nobody is interested in putting private funds into ball park buildings. From which fact it might be deduced that big league baseball wouldn‘t draw crowds big enough, fast enough and in continuing quantity to pay off the "nut" in a reasonable time. FANCY FIGURES Donations to the GARY ARCHER FUND this week were exactly $132, making a grand total of $588 to date.

The program is heard every morning in Toronto, For 90 years the tall spire of Downsview United Church has been a landmark on the height of land in the northâ€" west reaches _ of +Toronto. During most of that time it served a placid country comâ€" munity. In recent years, with greater â€" suburban developâ€" ment, the character of the church has changed. Five years ago a Christian Educaâ€" tion wing was opened. Rev. Francis Stevens comes to this challenging congreâ€" gation in suburbia after a wide and varied ministry, mostly in Western Canada. He started his work in the smelter city of Trail, B.C. Then her served the comâ€" munity church in the mining town â€" of Britannia Beach, B.C. After a pastoriate in suburban Vancouver, he movâ€" ed to Zion Church in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. For the past seven years he has been minister of Erskine Church in Toronto.

Her writing has been a great blessing and her daily mail includes three or four letters from folk who have found Christ through the ministry of her books. I went to the conference expecting to learn a few writing techniques, but instead I learnt more about a Person, and how real He was to Eugenie Price. She told us that we Christians needed to exalt Christ. The promise is, "If I be lifted up I shall draw all men unto me."_ Our job is to exalt Christ, and then He will do the drawing. WESTON BAPTIST CHURCH It is a challenging thought to ponder. Is Christ exalted in me? The folks at home can best answer that question for each one of us. God wants us to be Christ living persons. Not just Christians who will dognatically stand for what they believe to be right, but loving, Christ living persons. There are so many folks around us who need a Christ living persons. How our teen agers need one who will understand their temptations, and encourage them in this modern insecure world! How our husâ€" bands need a Christ living partner who will provide a home that is a refuge after a day;in a money mad, nerve wracking world. There are so many people around us who need a Christ living person, and He is there waiting to minister to them through us. I have come to the conclusion that the most imâ€" portant factor in the Christian walk is to live Christ. It is good to witness, it is good to study the word, but we can do all this and still not live Christ. CENTRAL UNITED CHURCH Second Christian Reformed Church Of Toronto REV. R. J.
