As of 1962 Mimico had the least amount of pubâ€" lic park space of any Metro municipality although its population was and still is greater than four other Metro suburbs. It has no indoor or outdoor swimming pools, or arenas, but it does have one artificial ice rink. Mimico has a total park area of 11 acres. This compares with 38 acres for New Toronto and 64 acres for Long Branch. Metro Toronto‘s Tratfic Satety Counc:l, once clear ly an independent agency, is once again operating under the jurisdiction of Metro police department with its oper ating furds included in the police budget. This year they amount to a paltry $25.000. This is paltry when you consider the need in Metro for increased trafttic satety education not onlv for rraccwnllk nieaces. On Monday, five property owners on Stephen Drive appeared before Etobicoke Council protesting the construction of a sidewalk in front of their dupley homes. On July 18th they received notices the sideâ€" walk would be constructed. The contract Municipal Affairs Minister J a m es Spooner said any municipality is only as strong as the support the people within that municipality provide. To remedy an apathetic situation Mr. Spooner has advoâ€" cated public relations on the part of the municipality. Some of the recent home owners in Etobicoke have arrived from England, South Africo and South America. New Toronto and Mimico each have more than 700 French residents. Mimico has more residents of German ancestry than either New Toronto or Long Branch. And also more residents of Italian ancestry The cosmopolitan atmosphere developing in Metro these days has brought many fine cultural activitie from the old to the new land. People of all ancestry will be contributing to the future development and growth of this nation. For example last fall‘s municipal elecâ€" tions in the Lakeshore drew mild attention from the electorate. In Etobicoke the sitâ€" uation could be classified as pathetic. The township‘s first citizen was put into office by acclamation. Two $6,000 a year jobs were contested by only three men ; candidaâ€" tes for the eight councillor seats were few. Etobicoke residents had few worriee how their tax dollars were spent on Education since most of the trustees received their posts by acclamation. In Etobicoke, the third largest in geographic size and population, there are today residents of Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish and Czech ancestry. There are more than 4,214 French residents, 7,385 Italian, 6,550 German, 4,405 Polish, 3,196 Dutch and 1,172 Crech. In its atmosphere, ideas and population, Metroâ€" politan Toronto, its city and 12 suburbs have become more cosmopolitan. It is reaching to become one of the great urban centres of the world and in time may attain that objective. Apathy in the Lakeshore and Etobicoke seems to have hit an all time highâ€"or we should say an all time low. We are not carrying the torch for any particular firm, but decry the underhandâ€" ed methods used by some landlords in inâ€" timidating innocent tenants by threatening to evict them if they do not wish to purâ€" chase from particular retailers. In some instances id Etobicoke and the Lakeshore, tenants sign leases which stipuâ€" late the occupant agrees to purchase milk and bread from certain companies. Most of us are under the impression as adults we are free to make our own deâ€" cisions. Perhaps there are discrepancies whether these decisions are correct, but this is a matter of opinion, The fact still remains we think we enjoy this freedom. Living in some apartment houses these days ilnamou like living in a communist commune. Gone are the days when a perâ€" son can have the brand of bread, milk, the diaper servite, and a multiple of other products and services of their choice deâ€" livered to his door. _ ; A landlord is compelled to give, by law, 30 days notice to tenants renting on a monthly basis. Also, the law says that hallâ€" ways are public, and that the apartments are private. No landlord has the right of It appears however, that we are mis taken.

Elected representative and civil servants in a community must make the first constructive steps in curbing this apathetic feeling throughout the communâ€" ity. Interested citizens are informed citiâ€" zens and informed citizens create a strong community. The Lakeshore communities fall short when informing their residents; Etobicoke‘s public relations efforts have been poor. If residents thought enough of their comâ€" munity, they would have seen the official notice in this newspaper over six months ago that the township intended to conâ€" struct a sidewalk in front of their homes. If the township had informed the citizens, in their progress reports, that all township projects are published in the local comâ€" munity newspapers perhaps many of the local grievances could have been settled more satisfactorily. had been let and the Engineering Departâ€" ment had staked the area for the intended walk. The residents wanted to know why they had not been notified earlier. . ‘The only recourse these people now have is to ognln a court injunction, but this would probably do nothing but involve a long legal battle. _ In Etobicoke we know of an instance when the dairy salesman came and told the new occupants his firm had the franâ€" chise for the premises. If that is not a cut and dried case of telling one which brand to buy, we do not know what is. To make matters worse, the nearest store is approxiâ€" mately two miles away, and for the houseâ€" wife who does not drive, it leaves her with no choice. One can only speculate as to how these so called franchises are obtained. Canada recently passed a Bill of Huâ€" man Rights, and we suggest the matter be investigated under this code. In one instance on the Lakeshore, the tenants signed petitions demanding their milkman be reinstated, however, the landâ€" lord chose to ignore this request, and labled the people troublemakers. entry except for periodic inspection. Pedlars may be barred from tenament buildings, but tradesmen carrying out a legitimate business have right of entry, especially when the occupants want their products. _ i Drive Carefully And so down the river to Norman Wells, the most subâ€" stantial community of them al! because it is not a Hudson‘s Bay Company tradingâ€"post but a little refinery town, the farâ€" thest north of any refinery in America.

Autonomy Bid Hits New Peak Big Provincial Squesze Begins Dear Sir Report From COttawa It was the second time the Government had stumbled in its short life span. It has reâ€" covered from | its ‘blunder budget‘ as opposition leader Diefenbaker called it, but at great cost in public confiâ€" dence and esteem. If the Prime Minister, in a moment of blindness, thought these were dead bodies, he was soon set right. The Preâ€" miers, led by Mr. Lesage from Quebec, leaped up and pouncâ€" ed upon him. The result was that the leâ€" g;lation had to be delayed. . Pearson had to call a Feâ€" deral â€" Provincial meeting for July 26th to discuss this legisâ€" lation a nd other â€" maitters which the Provinces believe concern them. YÂ¥ ° VUNGENT L495 OTTAWA â€" Prime Minisâ€" ter Pearson, rushing into acâ€" tion on legislation providing a loan fund for municipalities, stumbled embarrassingly over the bodies of several Provinâ€" cial Premiers. *"We need gimmicks: Prizes, singing commercials, trading stamps‘ POSIT Mr. Pearson‘s failure to consult with the Provinces on legislation â€" which concerned That‘s a clear lesson of the times we live in and, there was every reason to believe that Mr. Pearson had learned the lesson. The Liberal Govâ€" ermnment has shown itselt exâ€" traordinarily sensitive to the aspirations of Quebec in the areas of language and culâ€" ture. Most of the Provinces favor the Federal Governments proposal to establish a $400,â€" 000,000 loan fund for municiâ€" pal public works. But, at this stage in Canadian Confederaâ€" tion, no Federal Government is going to mess around with municipalities, which are the creatures of the Provinces, without consulting the Provâ€" inces. Its second fall, in the deliâ€" cate and increasingly imporâ€" tant field of relations with the Provinces could be much more significant. Lesage in Quebec, zobaru in Ontario, Bennett Briâ€" tish Columbia, Manning in Alberta, Roblin in Manitoba â€" these are able men in any company. They represent threeâ€"quarters of the total The strength of Provincial leadership attests to this, and is of course largely respohsâ€" ible for the new and imporâ€" tant Provincial influence on the Government. . This _ Provineial _ upsurge cannot be denied by any Feâ€" deral Government today, let alone a minority Government It may be noted in passing that, while the Quebec Preâ€" mier is the chief spokesman for these needs, he frequently expresses the views of many other Provincial Premiers. At the. moment ‘the Provâ€" inces are on the upswing. Their needs â€" in education, highways, health, and indusâ€" trial developmentâ€"are paraâ€" mount today. 1 At the moment, quite apart from the turbulence in Queâ€" bec! there is a general surge towards provincial autonomy in most Provinces. This may even be considered historicâ€" ally appropriate, In a Federaâ€" tion, there is always tension between the two levels of Government, and this has been true of Canada. For many years now, the Provinces have been denied th. full authority and finanâ€" cial resources they need to do what is required of them. At the moment, quite apart from the turbulence in Queâ€" bec! there is a general surge This mood has been buildâ€" ing for several years, but no previous Governm _‘ has had to face it so directly, The very fact that Mr. Pearson‘s Govâ€" ernment is a new one requirâ€" ed a new approach to relaâ€" tions with the Provinces. This attitude failed to take into account the prevailing mood in Canada. A fundaâ€" mental change in Canadian Confederation appears to be taking place. It is doubtful that at least in the foreseeable future, any Federal Governâ€" ment will be able to act in provincially _ sensitive â€" areas without at least the full conâ€" sultation with the ten Provâ€" inces which make up the Feâ€" deration Mr. Pearson has been exâ€" ceptionally tolerant and symâ€" pathetic even to the demands of Mr, Lesage who. for all his strengths, sometimes apâ€" pears to be easily swayed by whatever winds happen to be blowing ngest in his Provâ€" ince at icular time, But he did falter badly in his failure, noted by other Provincial Premiers besides Mr. Lesage, to cons ult the Provinces on the municipal loan fund and other matters. is evidence of good faith. The demands of the Provinces are certainly not repugnant to Mr. Pearson or his Governâ€" ment. Far from it. The Govâ€" ernment‘s lapse in consultaâ€" tion in its early days was certainly not what one had been led to expect from Libâ€" eral Party concepts of coâ€" operative Federalism. them, was therefore, all the more surprising. His subseâ€" quent difficulties, particularly with Quebec, were therefore inevitable. The Prime Minister‘s readiâ€" ness to meet Provincial wishes, and call a conference. This is a fact which Mr. Pearson apparently lost sight of, at least momentarily, in the early days of office. The conference he has called to discuss specific Federal legisâ€" lation is unusual and it will be followed by other conferâ€" ences. Federal Governments in the past have not deigned to call in the Provinces for such disâ€" cussion.

Thegook quotes from a study made by Dr. H. A. Tanser in 1939. I‘ve filed all four books under "Opinion Only". Take out the "nuts" and the John Birch Society may have something to offer the United States: take out the white interference in the States and perhaps the Negro will have a great deal to offer the world. For those nonâ€"historians the year 1933 happens to be the year the Democrats came to power under Roosevelt. As for the Kennedys, in Washington, the John Birch people bluntly state there is no longer a need for Russian spies in the USAâ€"President Kennedy tells them everyâ€" thing the Russians want to know via television. These magazines continue to go on and on attacking every Demoâ€" crat to ever exist in the USA and lauding every Republiâ€" can as the defenders and protectors of their nation. Like I said before this particular society frightens me because if this power group ever holds the reins in Conâ€" gress what is to become of us? If Kennedy (according to Mr. Welsh and his followers) is partial to the Soviet block what is to become of us poor Canadians who allow Comâ€" munists to run for public office. I have fears the Salem Witch trials would be child‘s play in comparison to what could befall us if we should happen to cross the line into Buffalo for a tootin‘ night on Canadian beer. LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO ONCE lived in Chaâ€" tham, Ontario, will be pleased to know there home town is mentioned in "A YANKEE VIEW of RACE REAâ€" SON". This 118 page book argues why integration should not be carried out in the southern states. One of the reasons is intellect and this is where Chatham comes into the picture. "Chatham is a town at the northern end of the preâ€" Civil War ‘underground, railroad‘ where a community of the decendants of escap"i,;hves has existed for 100 years. The social and economic situation of Negroes and Whites in the rural area around Chatham is approximaâ€" tely equal. The schools have always been integrated, yet ths teete eR RILLOCO UE TCO T UHe I The John Birch Society doesn‘t particularly agree with the entire Democratic Party: "Communism is the protege and client of the Democratic Party. Democratic Federal courts have protected it with decisions and distortions of the Constitution to keep traitors out of prison, contrary to legislative intent of Congress and the legislatures. Washâ€" inton is crawling with Reds today, as in all these years since 1933." Well I imagine Mr. Pegler didn‘t like the late Presâ€" ident Roosevelt too well. From Pegler‘s point 6f view the late president of the United States was one peg above Stalin and that peg was the fact Mr. Roosevelt lived on the west side of the Atlantic Ocean. Still on Roosevelt Pegler has this say: "He called us ‘My Friends,‘ in the manner of a pitchman selling potato peelers at a curb off Broadway. He was a conâ€"man who raised himself to the status of Emperor through the fault of our own gullibility." Writing on Roosevelt, Pegler says "Roosevelt caused the death in battle or in sidelong conflicts, of more Ameriâ€" cans than ever had died in all our wars. The greatest beneficial effect of all that sacrifice by all those Americans â€"and millions of other Americans in his war and the war which Truman inherited from himâ€"was to rescue Russia from defeat." To Tito IS TREASON. . . New Frontier Is Socialism. . . This is a REPUBLIC not a Democracy! Let‘s keep it that way. .. etc. On occasion Westbrook Pegler has been referred to as a "genuine nut", therefore it was with a great deal of interest I opened the magazine to his article on Roosevelt and Kennedy. The story was tilted "Yellow Dog Demoâ€" crats" and beside the title were pictures of F.D.R., Kenâ€" nedy and a Blood Hound. Wondering who producted this review I turned to the Masthead and lo! and behold the editor is Robert Welsh, founder of that exclusive group in the USA known at the the John Birch Society is not another service club like the Kiwanis or the Honorable and Loyal Order of the Musk Oxx.

The John Birch Society has a slogan which goes someâ€" thing like this: "Americanism is the only ‘Ism‘ for Me!‘. If this doesn‘t draw a picture here are some of the slogans they have on car bumper emblems: Helpâ€"Get U.S. out of U.N. . .. INVESTIGATE The State Department. . . Aid Three of the books were monthlies called "American Opinion. . . An Informal Review", and the fourth was titled "Race and Reason. .. A Yankee View".
