The holidays are over, the kids back to school and we can now relax and enjoy normal living agaif with unâ€" crowded stores, fewer children on the stréets etc. It was a lovely Christmas this â€"year and the good weather held through the New Year weekend. It was indeed fortunate it was cold enough for all the children to skate, sleigh ride, and tobaggan for there were some enthusiasâ€" tic youngsters out as @arly as mine. a.m. «Christmas morning eager to try their skates from Senta. . _ Speaking of skating, we do have a lovely rink in our park on friltspur and Magellan, Howâ€" ever. several people have comâ€" plained to me that young girls of five, six and seven years haven‘t a chance to try to skate because of the big boys playing hogkey and skating at high speeds around the rink. On beâ€" half of our Ratepayers‘ Associâ€" ation I have checked with Mr. Brown of the parks departâ€" ment at North York Township and he told me that hours for pleasure skating were as folâ€" lows: 4â€"6 on Mondays and« Friâ€" days, 7â€"10 on Wednesdays and 2â€"5 on Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of the time is for hockey players. I explained to Mr. Brown,that we have a large population of Europeans here who are borm skaters and that whole families are accustomed to skating together and he asâ€" sured me this would be held in eonsideration _ a n d _ although nothing can be done this year, we should appeal for twp sepâ€" arate rinks, one for hockey and ®ne for pleasure skating for mext year. And so, for now, it "ould be a big help if the mothâ€" ‘®r: of the area observed these hours.

Mr. ported. to me was regarding the bridge leading to Crang Plaza, This is marked "One Way â€" Do Not Enter". However, since this land is privately o#wned and the bridge is not a township | road, the sign is merely for the | benefit of the ignorant. Anyone can use this road both ways and not be prosecuted because the police have no authority on private roads, However for the benefit of those people who questioned the legal technicalâ€" ities of this, as well as those ‘who raved about the fire truck | using this bridge going the | wrong way, I wish to report | thit I have contacted the Police LSergunt at Station 19 and he { confirmed the fact that it was | a private road, owned by the { Crang Plaza Association and they were reSponsible for any signs posted there. I then, conâ€" tacted the Plaza Association to request their consideration~of a "Yield" sign instead. This would be beneficial to the plaza since i feel they have suffered a loss in trade from our area simply because people do not want to become entangled in the detour on the way home and do not want to exercise their rights by disobeying the "One Way" sign. This entire issue will be looked into and should be clearâ€" ed up soon. Congratulations are in order for Mr. and Mrs. J. Schecter of Coquette Road on the birth of their third son.
