Page 4 â€"â€" THE TIMES ADVERTISER â€"â€" Thursday, October 4, 1942 " There has been a great deal of social activity here in the last 48 hours and there are still a few receptions to attend before the weekend is over. The busiâ€" mess of the House of Commons gets started this afternoon when the Mover and Seconder. both Government Members of the The opening of the 25th Parliaâ€" ment of Canada was a colorful affair as seen through the eyes of a new member. Having viewâ€" ed previous Openings on TV. I had some idea of the traditional routine & procedure. but personâ€" al participation in the ceremonâ€" ies heightened the experience and brought home to me a new appreciation of those who in the past struggled and fought for the rights of free men to establish their own parliamentary democâ€" racy and to govern themselves. These rights and freedoms that the people of the emerging naâ€" tions are seeking today. Of all countries, Canada should have the least difficulty in underâ€" standing the legitimate desire for freedom and independence of the people of these new naâ€" tions. A helping hand from Canâ€" ada at the right moment is not just good policy but it should be a sober responsibility. I am most grateful to the pub" lishers of Advertiser for this| weekly opportunity of report'mgl to York Centre citizens from Parliament Hill. _ One of the| very practical problems facing| a Member of Parliament, parâ€"| ticularly when the House is in| session, is that of keeping in‘ touch with his feliow consli(uents‘ so that there is maintained some feeling of confidence that the! Member is at least aware of:‘ local personal and community problems. I will have to depend en public spirited citizens and community groups to keep me posted on matters which are of: importance to them and to this ; end I am hopeful that they will! voluntarily take the responsibilâ€" ity of writing to me at the House | of Commons in Ottawa or to my | office at 1054 A Wilson Avenue Downsview P.O. â€" Phone ME 3â€"8044. I plan on being in the Downsview Office every Saturâ€") day morning to be available to| anyone who may wish to see mc} personally. Twice in the {past four weeks, Weston Council has tried to intervene in the afâ€" fairs of neighbmuring communities . North York and Etobicoke. The Council has been rapped for acâ€" ecusing Etobicoke Township of secrecy in paving St. Phillips Road without conâ€" sulting the town. Weston Council says if both the town and the township pavâ€" ed the road at the same time it would have saved taxpayers money. It‘s about time a good, old fashioned Christmas Parade was held through the main streets of Weston, and the area lighted as in nearby areas. We are certain the Weston Businessâ€" men‘s Association have thought preparâ€" ations for Christmas and will plan a ‘betterâ€"thanâ€"ever‘ season for the comâ€" munity. In the way of suggestions we recomâ€" mend the holding of a Christmas Parâ€" ade, possibly about two to three weeks before the 25th. If the Town is unable It‘s only October, but we definitely have to begin planning for the Christâ€" mas season, on some fronts. The plazas in the Etobicoke and Wesâ€" ton areas undoubtedly have plans to erâ€" ect lights and decorations for Christmas to both help the community celebrate the time of year, and (let‘s face it) to attract business. The only catch is Etobicoke did, apâ€" parently tell Weston of the planned paving, leaving Weston holding the bag and looking slightly red in the face aftâ€" er criticizing the uncooperative attitude of the Township. The independent businessmen, especâ€" fally in Weston, will now have to make plans with the same results for Decemâ€" ber.

Some of the rest of us in the House have different ideas about the merits of the government proposals and we will have our turn next Monday when Mr. Pearson, the Leader of the Official Opposition, will address his reply to the Throne Speech. Undoubtedly his speech will end with a Motion of Nonâ€" Confidence in the Government‘s ability to administer the affairs of Canada. It appears at this time that the N. D. P. will supâ€" port the Government against this Motion. Social Credit have not yet decided. I make no comâ€" ment on some of the strange new political alliances that apâ€" pear to be shaping up in the House because the Editor has asked me to be as nonâ€"partisan as possible. This will be a diffiâ€" cult assignment. The young citizens of York Centre may be interested in knowing that the Liberal Memâ€" ber for York West, "Red Kelly" is seated directly in front of me in the House and so I will be able to keep in touch with the progress of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

P York Centre to put on a parade by itself, there are professional firms which will supply a complete parade for which the merchâ€" ants and town could pay. New Toronto came up with a novel idea several years ago to have the local Hydro or Public Utilities Commission place lights on the streets The PUC should be content with the money paid for the use of the electricity during the Christmas season and for the goodwill for the town such an act would bring. With lighting of the streets, similar to the spectacular display New Toronto puts on each year, plus a Christmas Parâ€" ade, the usual store decorations and the seasonal special services, the town could put out Christmas atmosphere which would bring Christmas spirit and business to the community. When the Businessmen‘s Association hatches a concrete plan for Christmas it would be wise for all merchants and residents of Weston to coâ€"operate to make this year‘s end successful. Now Weston is to tell North York the Town does not want a gas station to be built on Jane Street, since a freezing bylaw on stations on the street exists. The stationâ€"toâ€"beâ€"built is slated for the North York side and The Deâ€" partment of Municipal Affairs has askâ€" ed Weston to give reason why the statâ€" ion application should be objected to by the Town. Council to keep a nose out of North York‘s problems, especially when the council had it chopped off by Etobicoke for the Town‘s unjust complaints? Perhaps there are too many stations on W.eston‘s part of Jane Street. but wouldn‘t it be just as wise for Weston to any address in Canada. According to a press report of July 5, 1962, ‘"Dominion Stores showed an increase of 93 perâ€" cent im net profits during the year ending March 17, to & recâ€" ord of $7,500,000. â€" Much better than the biggest US super markâ€" et chains"‘. . . ; Mainly because of the meat? * Some housewives have already begun to circulate petitions and call meetings to consider what can be done to ‘bring prices down.

The increase in the cost of foods, especially of meat, will most certainly have a serious effect on the health of people unâ€" less action is taken immediately In Canada with our abundance of wheat and live stock these inâ€" creases in the cost of essential foods is intolerable. Certainly the farmers are not amassing huge fortunes, but if Dominion foods is intolerable. Certainly the farmers are not amassing huge fortunes, but if Dominion Stores are any example, the big monoply chain stores certainly are.

This residential area is a posted 30 M.P.H. zone and on this particular evening visibility was good, and the area was well illuminated by street lighting. Again ideal conditions, but who knows what prompted the 65 year old lady pedestrian to attempt to cross a busy thoroughfare like Bathurst Street without crossing at an intersection. Result? Screaming tires as the southbound motorist attempted to stop. but powerle«s to do so, The sickening impact as flesh meets steel. Cause? Failure to obey simple trafâ€" fic rules.
