‘!_ WESTON TIMESâ€"ADVERTISER _ \ ;‘/' t WET OR DRY%? HERE WE GO AGAIN ‘The Etobicoke Works Commiâ€" ttee decided Monday to get a reâ€" port on the possibility of conâ€" structing a four lane bridge. ‘The drawings shown at Monâ€" day‘s meeting showed three lane approaches and two lanes on the bridge span. The Roads Techniâ€" cal Committee will handle the report, ‘The Roads Technical Commitâ€" tee had stated previously they did not feel the project importâ€" ant enough to proceed with imâ€" mediately. Township engineer Bill Swann and the Works Comâ€" mittee disagreed and said the project should be gone ahead with as soon as financial agreeâ€" ments could be made with Wes ton Reeve John MacBeth asked why the Roads Technical peoâ€" ple did not agree with the urâ€" gency of the bridge. _ Roads Commissioner Marce Cox replied that fqr one reason it would cost the township one million dollars by the time the job was finished. He said the request for the new bridge origâ€" inally came from Weston but now they "are hemming and hawing about paying their 50 per cent." Cox said there are projects waiting that afféct 100 per cent of the people and these should be looked at first. vé;u'nc}uor John Allen said the project would not cost the townâ€" If you want to hang out your washing on a Weston line just make sure that you don‘t live anywhere near the Canadian Gypsum â€" Company Ltd. If you do, your washing will be ruined because of large quantities of mineral wool @nitting from the blow room stacks of the factory, according to Councillors. For two years, the Weston Council, on behalf of the beâ€" leaguered neighbors of the Gypâ€" sum plant have been trying, in vain, to make them. stop pollutâ€" ing the air, the clean washings and the ruining of the paintwork of automobiles. However, relief seems to be on the way. In a letter to the Mayor, a Board of Health Officâ€" *Save â€" A â€" Buck‘ Sainsbury Rides Again Long years of service to the town and its Library evidently don‘t mean much moneywise to Councillor Lloyd Sainsbury. This came to light at Monday night‘s council meeting when a motion to grant $175.00 a month tVa 7rietir'in“g â€"â€" after 44 year‘s «=rvice â€"â€" employee of the Weston Library, wag Aintrg)duced. The Councilior, felt that inâ€" asmuch as three other employees of Weston. with a total of 86 years to their credit, had been ratired with less, he didn‘t think it fair that the lady should draw so much. Mavor George Bull pointed out that two of these men, beâ€" ing younger. could still earn money and that in view of long and faithful service of the Libâ€" rary worker, he felt that the sum involved was only fair. Councillor Sainsbury on the other hand seemed to want to base her retirement fund on the fact that she had started workâ€" ing for the Library in 1919 at $15.00 per week. ; Library Closing Date The Weston Public Library will be closed from Wednesday, July 31 to August 28 inclusive. Townspeople wishing to take «ft holiday books must do so 4 July 30. Th Councillor was outvoted Plant Told Clean Up Or Be Closed â€" Counc. ‘The Reeve then asked what projects the Roads Technical Committee considered more viâ€" tal. Cox said the Berry Road exâ€" tension bridge, a bridge over the Etobicoke â€" Creek â€" near _ the Queensway _ Hospital and â€" a bridge on the Indian Line over Mimico Creek in the north end. He said the latter structure neeâ€" ded improvement due to the heavy industrial traffic. Deputy Engineer Les Wilson said all the projects are imporâ€" tant but a start had to be made somewhere and at the moment Council had its "teeth into" the St. Phillip‘s bridge idea. ial states that a Resolution has been passed that the Council reâ€" quest the Smoke Abatement Division of the Department of Works to close the plant and keep it closed if the conditions are not remedied by August 15th of this year. s f _ While Council pondered as to how legal action could be taken in this case the Mayor ordered that the Gypsum Company be told ~to clear up the situation at once. Clare Wall Following a two week vaca tion to the Ottawa Valley, Queâ€" bec City and Montreal yours truly is refreshed and back in harness again. I must confess that my best French Canadian ‘conversation while in Quebec left‘ something to be desired. However, having a thirteen year old daughter along with you who has been studying elemenâ€" tary French helped to fill in the gaps. Having travelled across rural Quebec and several of the smallâ€" er towns and villages in Ontario one cannot help but be impressâ€" ed with the image that is creaâ€" ted in the communities by the local Legion branches. Branch 72 Pembroke, is sponâ€" soring, administering and proâ€" viding the guidance for minor baseball throughout the _ city whose population is 16,000. Something like twenty three teams are taking part, from the little tads who are learning to throw the ball up to the young men. I like that phrase I heard some years ago, "BETTER THEY SHOULD THROW BASEBALLS THAN THROW ROCKS." This writer recalls with pleaâ€" sure having attended the Proâ€" vincial ‘Convention in Cornwall in 1952 if rhemory serves me correctly. At that time the host Cornwall branch was installed in a large house which was wonâ€" derfully well kept. I was deâ€" lighted when passing through on highway 2 to look over and see that the Cornwall members have done a refurbishing to their building that is certainly most eye catching. The entire buildâ€" ing has taken on a new modern look with ample parking and spacious lawns. It is a lovely fine building and a credit to the members and the city of Cornâ€" wall, a port on Canada‘s seaway route. _ All Legion â€" members should make a point of dropping The Legion Scene .

The new college will be situated on the west side of the Credit River, directlyâ€"north of the Village of Erindale, about 10 miles from Weston. The land is the 60 acre estate of Reginald Watkins and negoâ€" tiations are proceeding for the purchase of adjacent properties totalling some 120 acres, The reasons for such a move on the part of the University have been outlined by Dr. D. Carlton Williams, chairman of the President‘s Advisory Comâ€" mittee on Offâ€"Campus Colleges. _ Along with the University population explosion, there is the lack of space for further into this progressive branch and introduce themselves when passâ€" ing through. _ My sincere thanks are expresâ€" sed to the citizens of the village of Petawawa who opened their homes and billeted our boys baseball team this past weekâ€" end. I was privileged to appear on the Pembroke televiston staâ€" tion CHOVâ€"TV to explain the purpose o%the visit and the work of ‘the Youth Services Bureau through Morley McGill the sports comentator. Here aâ€" gain is a small community whose service work by the Legion is nothing short of tremendous. Councilman Willard Mohns headâ€" up the Petawawa group of citiâ€" zens who showed our local boys a fine time with hospitality plus, along with a fine display of competitive sport. Our kids are richer in mind, experience and friehdships through this outâ€" stretched hand of service work. We look forward to the exâ€" change visit when the Petawawa boys will be our guests on the weekâ€"end of July 26.

For 1965 (Continued on page 9) Ch WESTON ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1963 The main campus cannot be expanded â€" indefinitely without courting that condition described by President Bissell as "Acute Academic Elephantiasis." What the Offâ€"Campus , College at Erindale will provide acaâ€" demically, was also outlined by Dr. Williams; ~"Instead of allowing a new and independent institution, which: would take time to develope, to‘ open, it is of greater value to the future students to form a construction at the main campus in Torontoâ€"central. The long arm of the law has been brought into the case of the Weston Golf Club fence versus Peter Carter of Adriatic Drive. Carter has appeared before Etobicoke Council and Commitâ€" tees asking that the six â€" foot fence topped with barbed wire be removed. He latet changed his request to just the removal of the‘ barbed wire. He mainâ€" tained the barbed wire was danâ€" gerous to youngsters and made the area look like a ‘concentraâ€" tion camp‘. The Works Committee received a letter Monday from the solicâ€" itors of the golf Club stating the barbed wire on the fence at the rear of. Carter‘s property had been recently removed. The solâ€" icitors said they had requested the police in Rexdale to do "‘whatever they can to protect the fence in future." ‘The solicitors also enclosed a copy of their letter to the police which states : ‘"We understand that Inspector Mallard and Sgt. Ford have investigated the takâ€" ing down of part of the Golf Club‘s fence, immediately to the rear of Mr. Carter‘s property. The contractor has been requestâ€" ed to replace the fence and we ask the police department to do what it can to prevent the fence from being taken down again." Etobicoke Council, on the adâ€" vice of their solicitor, had told Carter the Club had the right to have the fence. The letter to the police also said, ‘"The Club has found it necessary to erect the fence beâ€" cause of the number of children using the Club property . and because of vandalism to the Silver Band Concert Sunday tener and comic, George King.

"‘The lack of proper and leâ€" gal liquor and beer outlets is draining business away from the town" Wilf Reeves, president of the Weston Businessmen‘s Assoâ€" ciation told Weston Council on Monday night. Times have chanâ€" ged, people no longer hide a case of beer in the bottom of the baby‘s buggy but to enjoy a glass they have to go to another township to get it When they do this they do their other shopâ€" Mr. Reeves and a group Of the Businessmen‘s Association had requested an audience with Council to ask for permission to take a petition regarding the question of a Liquor Vote in Weston. Mr. Reeves told Council three weeks ago, at a meeting in the Skyline Hotel, the Assoâ€" ciation had voted 100 per cent for such a petition. Councillor Robert MacPherson "‘The men who sarrange the public transportation routings are Demigogues in Ivory Towers" maintained Deputy Reeve Irv Paisley of North York Township, "Furthermore, you, the taxpayâ€" er,hnvetopaythepipermd not hear the music of the sound of a bus coming within a few blocks of your homes." Mr. Paisley went on to say that among those who were the hardest hit by this lack of underâ€" standing on the part of the TTC were the residents of the Lawâ€" rence Heights Housing Developâ€" ment. In this area the only bus serâ€" vice is during rush hours and there is none after six in the evening and never on Sundays. "They are always able to proâ€" vide buses for baseball games but not for the Senior Citizens and other residents of this fine housing project." Deputy Reeve Paisley does not feel that any relief is in sight for the transportationless residents of this part of Metro. maintained that the time to do something about the liquor ques Weston Pays TTIC Plays tion was long overdue. "Weston businessmen are the losers and furthermore the town could use pointed out that it was a little silly to live in a soâ€"called "Dry" able to bring it in privately area and still have beer deliverâ€" Councilior Lioyd â€" Sainsbury maintained that the L.C.B.0. was actually engaged in bootlegâ€" ging when it allowed the Brewâ€" er‘s Warehouse trucks to delivâ€" Mayor Bull felt that a petition would be the best way to stimuâ€" late interest in such a vote. He maintained to just bring it beâ€" fore the public on the ballot would be a possible waste of both time and money because of the apathy that is often shown by the public in these matters. Councilior Wesley Boddingâ€" ton, on the other hand, pointed out the taking of a petition is often a needless expence beâ€" cause of the fact that many peoâ€" ple often sign both the pro and Eglinton Avenue to connect with Richview Side Road will be held up indefinitely unless Metro can dig up $50,000 for a preâ€" enginâ€" eering report next year. The Etobicoke Works Commitâ€" tee received this information on Monday in a report from Metro Clerk, W. Gardhouse. The Clerk‘s report said the Eglinton extenâ€" sion is listed under items "On which no commitments have been made" with the allotment of funds as follows: â€" 1965, 1967, $1,200,000; â€" 1968, $1,500, â€" funds would provide for the widening of Eglinton to four lanes from Bicknell Avenue west to connect with Richview west of Scarlett Road and would inâ€" clude a grade separation at the railway crossing east of Weston Road and a bridge over the Gardhouses‘ report said a great deal of engineering work would have to be undertaken immedâ€" iately but the Metro executive committee had reduced the item in the 1963 budget from $20,000 to $10,000 making it virtually impossible to undertake the necessary work. . Unless additional funds of $50,000 can be provided this year it would not be possible to advance the item in next year‘s budget. Eglinton Extension In Need Of Funds Perry con parts of petitions if approsâ€" the Businessmen‘s Association in this matter and I feel that if they want a Wet Vote for Liquor in the town they should throw their full weight behind such a While the Mayor agreed that a vote on the Liquor Question should be taken he felt that a a move to put it before the peoâ€" ple was made by Council. All members of the Council were present at the meeting lor Caskey and while all memâ€" bers were in favor of "Wet" Weston they were divided as to the petition. Council agreed that it should be put to the vote and that an appointed member of Counsil should get together with a group from the Businessmen‘s Associâ€" ation and work out the form the questionaire should take. The matter now rests with the executive committee who have received a report from the Comâ€" missioner of Finance on the availability of funds to permit the. preâ€"engineering work to be carried out this year.
