Etobicoke Air Cadets Open House Reeve Waffle wished her a Merry Christmas, then assurâ€" ed her she would have to abandon her upstairs apartment. He showed her a property on Jackson Ave., a duplex he said, and a real good buy. Mrs. Robertson, bought the propâ€" erty. It is a big, 10â€"room house in a good area, and the upstairs had been converted, obviously many years preâ€" viously, into a separate apartment. Although Mr. Jenisen had resided in Etobicoke for many yeaws, and was "conversant with property", in the area, he apparently didn‘t know, what every paper has said, and what every township subdivider, every township planner knows,â€"that there are few legal duplexs in Etobicoke, and certainly none in this area. : Heartacheâ€" Troubleâ€"Tears Mr. Jenisen has been a resident of Etobicoke for many many years, and is truly conversant with property in Etobicoke, they told her. However, Mrs. Robertson, although she had never had to purchase a house alone before, hired a legal firm, Macâ€" Carthy and MacCarthy, the same firm who acted on beâ€" half of Mrs. Ellins, to represent her interest. Despite the fact that, John MacBcth, deputy Reeve of the township, and himself a reputable lawyer, states that it is common practice for a solicitor to check into the zonâ€" ing of a particular property before closing a transaction, apparently, this firm did not, for Mrs. Robertson swears she was never told. Well Mrs. Robertson happens to be a "good looking woman", and is separated from her husband. This as any woman can tell you is an extremely vulnerable position, even considering that one of the reasons for selecting this particular home was its proximity to her church. So she contacted a real estate firm. Willoughby‘s, and asked what they had in the \ way of a good home for her and her children, where she could rent a part of the house for income. The Real Estate firm showed her various proâ€" perties in North York, none of which quite suited her purâ€" pose, so she was turned over to Burt Jenisen, of the wesâ€" tern office of the firm. So to this point, our new resident and her family, have been sold a duplex, which wasn‘t a duplex, and had the offer go through a lawyer, who forgot to tell her her new home contravened the township zoning laws. Apparently one of her male neighbours took a shine to Mrs. Robertson. When his advances were repelled by a slap on the face, he took revenge. He called the township of Etobicoke and reported the illegal duplex. Now the dupâ€" lex had existed for many years, but all of a sudden it was illegal. Mrs. Robertson had a visit from a Mr. Baker of the township. He told her to rip out the upstairs, sink and plumbing or "go to jail." This came as quite a shock to a woman who had in all good faith bought a duplex so she appealed to the Buildâ€" ing committee this week. Mrs. Robertson came to Etobicoke to make a home for her family. She came to Etobicoke because she liked the township. She came to live near a church, a school, and in a good community. She is used to having good neighbours, in a good community. Even at that, the house had been used for some time, approximately 8 years, as a duplex with no complaint from the township. So why worry. & Since she arrived in our township she has had nothing but heartache, and trouble, and tears. â€" MERRY CHRISTMAS In am'mun('ing the me.mlver.xhlp ‘"Tears will not effect me," Waffle said.

Mrs. Robertson owns a 10 room home, there are five people living in this home, including the upstairs apartâ€" ment. There is really no certain way to prove when the upstairs apartment was built, and the township will lose any case brought before a judge. In the meantime the vendictiveâ€" ness of one neighbour has utilized the dictatorial powers | of the township to harass this woman who wants nothing except to be left alone.

Cloverdale School PTA Meeting The report cards came out a week ago, and the parents descended on Cloverdale School en masse on Monâ€" day evening for the annual parentâ€" teacher interviews. He said that he found this out more or less accidentally in June when he overheard a fellow emâ€" ployee discussing union business. When Mr. Steffens asked what the conversation was all about, he was told he would have to join the union. "I am of the conviction that the practice of compulsory unionism is in direct conflict with one of our most sacred liberties, namely freeâ€" dom of association, which also inâ€" cludes the freedom not to assocâ€" iate," said Mr. Steffens, "I refused to be forced into ‘membership in this union." Mr. Steffens started work as an assessor in January and says that at no time did he understand membership in the Association was compulsory once an employee had served a probationary period. Most of the rooms reported attendâ€" ance figures that would indicate there is no lack of parental interest in the youngsters‘ progress. Nora Robinson‘s room had most visitors and won the attendance prize. He said unions are products of socialism which he feels is forbidâ€" den by the Bible. Mr. Steffens, like the two Etobiâ€" coke school caretakers who refused to join a local of the National Union of Public Employees for similar reasons, said he would rather lose his job "than to subâ€" mit to coercion" anytime.
