i _ WESTON TIMESâ€"ADVEEF ‘‘This is the proposal," said Councillor Ault, "However, no further steps will be taken unâ€" until we have studied an engineâ€" ers report. Then we will draw up &n agreement " When the Finance Committee suggested part of the funds could come from the Tocal improveâ€" ment budget, the company exâ€" pressed its willingness to coâ€" operate. The Weston Finance Commitâ€" tee originally recommended the proposal be accepted on condiâ€" tion that a street be construcâ€" ted. However, Belmont Motors demurred on grounds this would cost them an estimated $60.000. in the existing byâ€"law to perâ€" mit the company to establish a new location at Lawrence and Gibson. The reâ€"zoning would clear the way for development of a 250ft. frontage at the interâ€" section. j Belmont Motors applied to Council this week for a change "A hew public street will inâ€" crease assessment on this propâ€" erty," said Councillor Ted Ault, "so the Town will recover what it spends." Weston will assist in the deâ€" velopment of a new street on part of the CCM property at Lawrence and Gibson, providing the developers, Belmont Chevroâ€" let, agree the street will be a public thoroughfare. The Township‘s Day Camp Programme began 8 summers ago in Don Mills with one camp operating for 4 weeks and servâ€" Already â€" after only 3 weeks of registering, 3 of the camps are filled for the 1st and 2nd periods and the other 8 camps are about twoâ€"thirds full in the first 2 periods. Even the third period of all camps is fuller than usual at this date. Bob Chalmers and Herb Carnegie who are dirâ€" ectly in charge of the Camping programme expect all the camps to be completely filled in the Ist two periods within the next two weeks. They both hope that not too many children will be disappointed because parents deâ€" lay or forget to send the registrâ€" ations to the Department office. Gordon Hutchinson, Director of Recreation, stated recently, "We believe that this year‘s registration rate is a real vote of confidence, not only in the Day Camps themselves, but in the total programme operated by the Parks and Recreation Department. We have earned the trust of Township residents that not ofly @6 we provide progâ€" rammes capable of handling large numbers of people â€" proâ€" portionate to the size of North York â€" but in addition, residâ€" ents know that our programme quality meets with high standâ€" ards, performed by qualified and trained staff." Parks and Recreation Departâ€" ment officials are amazed â€" and very pleased â€" at the rate that registrations are pouring into the Township office for the Recreation _ operated _ summer Day Camps. Weston Developes New Street PERHAPS THE ARMY is taking the old cliche, "Loud enough to wake the Dead," seriously. At least it would appear that way with the recently erected siren less than 20 feet away from the cemetery. However, Mr. A. McKenzie, at one McManus Road, doesn‘t see any humor in the situaâ€" tion. He now has a telephone pole, hydro pole, light standard, and siren all immediately in front of his resid ence.

"From a purely business point of view," he said, more than in _ reducing construction . and maintenance costs of the serviâ€" ces, exchange of information and new developments between memâ€" bers, is to my thinking priceâ€" less," added Mr. George. "The benefits of membership outweigh by far the amount of any member‘s assessment." he said. "The coâ€"operation of the different utilities with each othâ€" er and the efforts of the comâ€" mittee as a coâ€"ordinating body, J. D.

Forty Pesidents Gather At Wedgewood School In conclusion, this looks like a record year for Day Camping. Since the North York Parks and Recreation Department operates the largest single Day Camp programme from one office, anyâ€" where in Canada, it is not surâ€" prising that records will continue to be broken for years to come. Children 7 ~ 12 years of age â€" grade one and up â€" are eligiâ€" ble and each camp is divided with boys in one area and girls in another, into age groups. All camps open on July 3, 1962 and continue for three 2 week perâ€" iods.

The trees were inadvertently chopâ€" ped down to make way for an addition to the school. However, they were later discovered to be on Town Hall property, in fact, had not been in the way of the construction project.

Thistletown Residents It was also pointed out that the yuongsters are shifting from one education system to another, midâ€"stream as it were, and "for Canadians to help preserve what is left of our national heritage," Jacques added. A delegation of 60 Humber Heights parents . accompanied the Etobicoke school board their spokesman John Ward to meeting where he read a brief outlining reasons why they feel their children should attend an Etobicoke secondary school. He noted that the parents as Etobicoke residents have no voice in the election of members of the Weston school board.
