Commenting on the devaluaâ€" Mr. Mailard maintained that Canada has a responsibility to the world to show more leaderâ€" ship than has been shown in the past â€" under both Conservative and Liberal Governments, but that before we do these things Canada must set her own house in order first. Criticizing some of the elecâ€" tion promises made by Mr. Diefenbaker he said, "Mr. Dieâ€" fenbaker has said that if the present administration is reâ€" elected, ‘they propose to build a causeway between Prince Edâ€" ward Island and New Brunswick, at a cost of $104,000,000." ‘‘There‘s been a causeway needed there for a long time", he said. "Now I have no objecâ€" tion to making a similar promise for election purposes" he conâ€" tinued amid loud laughter, "But how much better it would have been with 500,000 unemployed, and machinery available, to program, but no one ever offers ! the past government with a hoeâ€" a defense program of their own," | key team Kelly stated Canada Hamilton said.

"I think Punch Imlack is the best "If you take a stand for someâ€" (Continued on page 2) "If you take a stand for someâ€" thing you can‘t be number one on the hit parade," stated Hamilâ€" ton in reply fo the charge that the Conservatives had taken a middle course in international affairs. "This country now stands for something and we don‘t look for favours from the States," he said. Candidate for the Social Credit Party, David Milne stated his party was the only true rightâ€" wing party in Canada. He stated the past governments in Canada did a fine job, but Canada had since outgrown what the other partics had to offer. "In this jetâ€" age of automation everything is moving faster. People are being replaced by machines and the people should reap the benefits of the increased production by revising Canada‘s financial sys tem,." he said. "We are told by the governâ€" ment to curb spending, but why can‘t the government curb its spending? Why can‘t they balâ€" ance the budget? Milne asked. Milne suggested changing the financial system by established municipality banks to serve one particular community and offerâ€" ing loans at two per cent inter est "to give people what they need". "I feel this government is goâ€" ing to go bankrupt if we are beâ€" ing paid a 91 cent dollar." I don‘t think we are being taxed into socialism, but I do feel we are getting too far behind, he said "We can succeed only if we change our financial system. Last to speak was the Liberâ€" al‘s Leonard Kelly, Comparing sb Commenting on the devaluaâ€" tion of the Canadian dollar, he said, "I am not an economist, and know very little about these things, but it seems to me‘that a 92 cent dollar is a barometer which shows Canada is in a bad shape." & A National Health program is a popular issue just now he maintained, It should compare with the schemes already in operation in the U.K. and Sweâ€" den, he declared. Many people ask whether such a plan would work in Canada, he noted, and said, "If they can do it, then I say we can." "Every Canadian should be able to have full medical care for himself and his family, withâ€" out regard to the state of his pocketbook." He advocated a cutback on "useless defence" and the monâ€" ey put to useful works, and to "get â€" construction â€" going . in Canada." CHANGE PARKING ON REXDALE Council decided Monday to change the parking pattern in front of the White Hardware Limited 225, Rexdale Blyd., from angle to parallel. The roads and Traffic Commitâ€" tee recently received a letter from F. E. Grimshaw, Treasurer and Controller of the Hardware company, regarding the recent bylaw prohibiting parking on eiâ€" ther side of Rexdale Boulevard. Grimshaw said he felt the byâ€" law was unfair and "discriminâ€" atory". He said the Committee was aware the store was consâ€" tructed in 1954 and at the same time their parking lot was built on the Boulevard. ‘"For the ensuing eight years our suppliers and visitors have been using this parking lot," said Grimshaw. "We have now been informed, through the courtesy of your Engineering Department that most of the said front parkâ€" ing lot was constructed on Townâ€" ship property," Grimshaw conâ€" tinued. The Treasurer said he realized this problem would have to be rectified. He said his company had also been advised of the fuâ€" ture widening of Rexdale Bouleâ€" Yorkâ€"Humber Candidates Address Weston Women Candidates of the four politiâ€" eal parties for the riding of Yorkâ€"Humber spoke to a capaâ€" city audience at Weston Municiâ€" pal Building on Monday, at a meeting organized by the Wesâ€" ton Council of Women. Unlike recent political meetâ€" ings in other parts of the coun» try, the meeting was an orderly one, unmarred by displays of violence and political hooliganâ€" ism, but supporters of all four parties present ensured that it was a lively one, well seasoned with astute heckling and sharp rejoinders. Of the four candidates who spoke, probably Margaret Aitâ€" ken, Progressive Conservative, came in for the heaviest fire from the audience. In touching on past conservaâ€" tive achievements, she expressed pride in the fact that under the Conservative Government penâ€" sions to the aged, blind and disâ€" abled had increased twice, and claimed credit for the Beach Hall Senior Citizens Apartment Project â€" a claim that was vigorously challenged later by Ralph Cowan, Liberal Candidate. ‘"We regard that project as a contribution to the dignity of living, and consider it the duty of the Government to look after old people in their twilight years", she said. On the subject of unemployâ€" ment Miss Aitken said, "Unemâ€" ployment is something of a paraâ€" dox in this country, where there are 500,000 more people working than there were five years ago", but claimed that automation had a great deal to do with it. Miss Aitken said that in an attempt to offset this increased unemâ€" ployment caused by automation, the Conservative Government had _ increased _ unemployment benefit from 32 weeks to 52 weeks so that people can attend vocational training schools to equip themselves with new skills while receiving benefit. In an effort to increase the number: of voters at the polls Etobicoke passed a resolution endorsing the placing of the question of extension of Municiâ€" pal Franchise on the ballot of the forthcoming December elecâ€" tion. Council Passes New Extended Franchise Bill Before the vote took place Deputyâ€"Reeve John MacBeth statâ€" ed the township should be careâ€" ful in granting the franchise to people ngt driectly involved in ? Etobicoke‘s affairs. ". . .Since we limited the vote to reality assâ€" essment I feel it is a mistake to extend the vote. People who say the piper should call the tune, | said MacBeth. "I feel we are beâ€"| ing a little too tiberal with thel tax dollar if we extend the franâ€"‘ chise." | "But that would also exclude older people in the township," remarked Councillor Donald Purâ€" vis. Reeve Ozzie Waffle stated there were many senior citizens who have voted for years in Etobicoke and as their families grew up the parents turned the property over to their children. "They know all the issues, but they are r{:; allowed to vote beâ€" cause the property is registered in a son‘s name,." he said. The extended franchise would also give the younger generaâ€" tion the opportunity to vote at home. The reeve stated schools had a Civics program and stuâ€" dents over 21 are allowed to vote in federal and provincial electâ€" ions, but they had no right to vard to four lanes which would necessitate new parking faciliâ€" ties. Grimshaw said his company had obtained quotations to have a lot consructed on their own property but the lowest tendered price was $3,100, which, he said. is beyond the company‘s means at present since they are expanâ€" ding under new ownership. . _ Roads Commissioner, M. F. Cox recommended the change in the parking ’”an PLAN NEW ARENA FOR PINE POINT PARK AREA WESTON, ONTARIO, JUNE 7, 1962 The Winter Works Programâ€" me is "a tremendous enterprise the Conservatives have underâ€" taken, which has resulted in 240,000 new jobs last year". After touching on Conservaâ€" tive endeavours in the Housing mortgage field, "which enabled thousands of young people to buy a $10,000 home on a $500 down payment over 32 years", (At this point a heckler shouted, "He‘ll never pay for it.") Miss Aitken outlined the Conservaâ€" tive attitude on nuclear weaâ€" pons. "I have been approached by many groups on this matter, inâ€" cluding the Voice of Women, and World Federalists, and askâ€" ed to oppose nuclear weapons on Canadian soil, but no responâ€" sible Government can do that, for with the Government lies the responsibility for the security and defence of Canada". "To refuse to have nuclear weapons would be to tell the whole world that we are comâ€" pletely defenceless‘, she said. "Groups who are against nuâ€" clear armaments claim that if Canada rejected nuclear arms it would set an example to the world, but I have been to Rusâ€" sia and Red China, and the only thing they respect is strength. As long as we have a man like Howard Green, Canada is in safe hands". Proof that the ugly scars left on the personal economics of Yorkâ€"Humber residents by the cancellation of the Avro Arrow eontract still fester beneath the surface, came to light when, during the question and answer period, a member of the audâ€" ience asked why the Governâ€" ment after cancelling the Arrow contract, had gone to the United States and spent millions of dolâ€" lars on obsolete weapons. A remark by Miss Aitken that the Arrow was an obsolete air craft resulted in an uproar, with loud cries of scorn and angry Councillor Bill Kerr stated a councillor‘s opinion did not matâ€" ter in this case because the votâ€" ers woud decide if the franchise should be extended. It was also recommended the public be inâ€" formed through the medium of the General Township Bulletin to be distributed in the fall. vote in their home town LOCAL Y.M.â€"Y.W.C.A.‘s are extremely busy these days winding up various courses which were ofâ€" fered during the Winter and Spring. Pictured above are; left to right, Roy Chant, (driver trainâ€" shouts of ‘No!" ‘No" Another questioner wanted to know why the. Conservative Government had gone to such great lengths to erase all traces of the Arrow, why no reference to it can be found in the Naâ€" tional Aeronautical Museum in Ottawa, and why the prototypes were destroyed even though there were customers interested in buying thm. â€" A further question of "Why buy the obsolete F105 fighter from the United States to reâ€" place an allegedly obsolete Canâ€" adian plane, thus depriving Canâ€" adian industry and craftsmen of employment", also failed to eliâ€" cit an answer satisfactory to the audience. Councillor D. A. Bales, Chairâ€" man of the Works Committee for North York encountered strong @pposition to a proposed road improvement program he placed before Council this week. As a consequence, while Marâ€" cia Ave. residents would find themselves with a brand new road and sidewalks completely free of charge, the cost of inâ€" stalling the storm sewer would have to be borne by them, addâ€" ing considerably to what Counâ€" cillor I. A. Paisley called ‘an already heavy tax burden.‘ A request from Metro roads for the use of Marcia Ave. as a detour as part of their requireâ€" ments for the Lawrence Ave C.N.R. overpass, and their willâ€" ingness to pave free of charge the now unpaved road to meet the increased traffic it will bear, had Works Committee members doing a little fast figuring. While Metro would be quite content with a ditched road, it was found that the construction of a 28‘ asphalt road with curbs would cost no more, but would necessitate the installation of a storm sewer. Chairman Bales replied, "They will be getting a new road and sidewalk which they will not be billed for." Councillor J. D. Service was of the opinion that Marcia Ave. residents were ‘getting a pretty fair shake." "I checked with them," said Counc. Paisley, ‘and they preâ€" ferred to keep the open ditches Marcia Ave. Gets Free Pavement And Sidewalks Based on sketch plans and preliminary estimates made by consulting architects, Etobicoke is making application to the Ontario Municipal Board for deâ€" benture credit to cover the first phase in the arena covering of Pine Point artificial ice rink. C During a special meeting Monday, W. Wronski, Planning Director, stated the Committee had to decide on design, whetâ€" her the roof was practical and if they wou!d install any econâ€" than pay the extra tax which will be about another $60 a year." Councillor Paisley went on to add that he thought it unfair to initiate proceedings without obâ€" taining residents feelings on the matter first, and proposed that the matter be referred back to Committee in order to give resâ€" idents a chance to make represâ€" entation to Council. "The members of our service club, the majority of whom are property owners and are raising families in or near the Westway subdivision, are sincerely conâ€" cerned over the number of serâ€" ious accidents at the intersecâ€" tion," said Mitchell. Council has decided to install traffic lights at Dixon Rd. and Celestine Drive when â€" traffic volume warrants and the funds are available. The traffic Committe receiâ€" ved a letter from H. N: Mitchell President of the North West Opâ€" timist Club asking for lights at the intersection in question. "We feel that signal lights governing the increasing heavy traffic on Dixon Rd. a fifty mile an hour (since reduced to 40) four lane thoroughfare, is now a necessity," said Mitchell‘s letter. ‘The motion was carried. Install New Lights At Dixon â€" Celestine Ave. ing), Mrs. L. McGeoch (oil %)' Miss O. McClelian (millinery), Miss H. m Miss C Robertson (Yâ€"Teens), Mr. Fred Mrs. R. Valde, Mrs. K. Harvey, Mrs. W. Alcock, Mrs, W. Brown and Mr. Kai. omic measures to cut down the cost. The Committee agreed with the entire suggested proâ€" ject. Besides the roof, the rink is slated to be equipped with: bleachers for 390 spectators, an ice reâ€"surfacting machine, sports timer and score board, PA and Intercommunications systems, stairways and combined lounge and general purpose room. The expansion will also in« clude two new hockey dressing rooms in addition to the four pre sent rooms. Plans include new boards, penalty box, players‘ box, dimmers for arena lighting a music room, club meeting room, equipment room and a viewing room overlooking the ice surface. Reeve Ozzie Waffle stated he was not against the quoted estiâ€" mate as long as the arena would be keeping Etobicoke hockey teams in the township. "We‘re looking ahead to the future when these arena will be able to handle crowds of two or three thousand." Mitchell pointed out a large part of the pedestrian traffic is made up of children attending schools in the Westway. The Committee also received a communication from the Metro Traffic Engineer saying the proâ€" posed lights at Bridesburg Road had been deemed inadequate for the area and the sidewalk on the south side of Dixon, west of Celeâ€" stine, would not be required. He said he would consider the insâ€" tallation of lights between Kipâ€" ling and Celestine if "warrants can be reasonably satisfied." "The priority for such an insâ€" tallation would be determined by its urgency in relation to locaâ€" tions ‘presently being considered and availability of funds," said the Engineer.
