The Charge Of The "Yes" Brigade Chorus Cuts Musical Furrow At World Plowing Match The entire chorus of the Etobicoke chapter of the S.P.E.B.S.QS.A.** travelled to Guelph last week to entertain at the convention of the Worldâ€" wide Ploughing Brotherhood. After a brief explanation of barbershop harmony, in Gerâ€" man by chorus director Harry Mays and in French by Don Sutherland, assistant director, the chorus put on a show which was well received by the visiting delegates. As a finale the chorus sang the theme song of the Worldwide Ploughing Brotherhood . inâ€" cluding some choruses in Gerâ€" m&o sincerity of some members of Council as they occupy their chairs executing the affairs of the township. We are under the uw:gdon that a perâ€" son elected to a public office is obligated to propose, consider, examine, criticize, pass or defeat matters forwarded to them by citizens or the permanent staff of the munâ€" icipality. _ Businessmen of Etobicoke, the Lakeshore and Toronto Township are extremely conâ€" cerned about a multiâ€"million dollar shopâ€" ping complex slated for the property beside the Queensway General Hospital. Known as ‘Sherway‘, this American proâ€" ject would include Eaton‘s and Simpson‘s department stores. To be a success the officiais of this project admit the Sherway Shopping Centre will have to remain open five nighu a week. e i i o o o e en Retailers of five separate municipalities are most concerned about the future of their particular shopping areas. The popularity of the downtown Eaton and Simpson deâ€" partment stores is graphic evidence these same stores, centrally located at the interâ€" section of the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 27, could be disastrous to hunâ€" dreds of retailers in our area who have adeâ€" quately served the needs of our communâ€" ities over the years. On a map this location is ideal for any commercial venture, but in reality this land is isolated from residential communities by three multiâ€"laned thoroughfares and Etobiâ€" coke Creek. This is why the Official Plan of Etobicoke Township originally zoned the land industrial. Sherway interests hired George Barton, a traffic conse@ltant, who stated a commerâ€" cial complex could survive based on five nights or operation and â€"with additional interâ€"changes from Highway 27 and the One week after the public hearing reâ€" garding the shopping centre, the Etobicoke Planning Board approved a road pattern plan in this precise area. QOn Monday Councillior David Lacey corâ€" rected this misconception and council backâ€" ed his theory that the duties of elected repâ€" resentatives are to receive, accept and to pass resolutions made by aliens. Queensway. In his report Mr. Barton conâ€" cluded "the level of land development in the Sherway area could be supported and made possible by a network of roads". Grant Bacchus, a traffic consultant hired by the antiâ€"Sherway group, reported it was unlikely the Ontario Department of Highâ€" ways would grant interâ€"changes on their highways, therefore secondary and tertiary community roads must bear the bulk of the traffic to Sherway. They said the pattern was necessary to attract new industry to the area and to serâ€" vice existing factories. Councillor Pete Farrow said it was most urgent to instiâ€" tute this road system to facilitate firms inâ€" quiring about the area. The only firm to inquire was Piggot, who wanted to know if one of the steps, the extension of Mill During this week the chorus will be having many extra mit influmfi to develop.

Before Mr. Muirhead could answer, Councillor David Lacey declared it was all in the preâ€" amble of the township‘s report and he wanted Mr. Muirbead to read it aloud. To Mr. Lacey‘s embarassment he could not find the paragraphs which stated the Townâ€" ship of Etobicoke had made detailed studies regarding the road pattern. Instead he had Mr. Muirhead read Etobicoke‘s request to Metro for the extension of the Queensway. Road, would be instituted since it divided their holdings north of the railroad tracks. Under examination Etobicoke Council could not offer any proof that the road patâ€" tern was deemed necessary before Mr. Barâ€" ton suggested it in his report. Councilliors merely stated the road pattern has been needed for years and any connection with Sherway was ‘coincidence‘. A timeâ€"bomb was laid by Councilior Lloyd Shier when he asked Plannix:g Direcâ€" tor George Muirhead to insure the road There has been a need for the extension of the Queensway since the early 1950‘s vet nothing was done to service the inâ€" dustrial property in the area. Now the Queensway must be extended immediately, according to the elected representative, and Sherway has "nothing to do with it". Council was questioned if a formal reâ€" quest had been made to Metro and Toronto Township since the Etobicoke roads would directly involve these two bodies. The reâ€" ply was ‘no‘. Councillor Lacey admitted very little had been done by the township officials; but the road pattern must go in. Any investiâ€" gation into the matter would be made after council approved the resolution, remarked the councillor. Council was requested to offer docuâ€" ments of previous years, or prior to the Sherway hearing, supporting the proposed roads. A statement was made such docuâ€" ments do exist but none were offered. To quote one citizen, "They want Sherâ€" way so badly they can taste it." The assessment from the Sherway comâ€" plex would be considerable. To capture this revenue council has accepted the opinâ€" ion of a biased American traffic consultant and approved the internal road pattern. These elected officials are blindly approvâ€" ing and altering everything which could stand in the way of the Sherway project. Until the Planning Department of Etoâ€" bicoke Township shows us the actual reâ€" ports made by the municipality‘s own staff that the road pattern for the lands west of Highway 27 were deemed essential,â€"before the Sherway Hearingâ€"we can only conâ€" clude the township is being influenced by an outside group. We would like to believe the citizens of Etobicoke elected their council to debate and weigh the issues in the best interests of the municipality. Council‘s dogmatic attitude towards the roads indicates to us they have little intention to listen to the residents and the taxâ€"payers of Etobicoke. Townâ€" Blend and Voice Expression. It is the intention of the Etobicoke chorus to give a good account of themselves in the competition at which the winner will represent Ontario at next year‘s International Convention in San Antonio, Texas.

Mimico would do well to follow the lead of other suburbs and boycott sending its antiâ€"amailgamation brief to Metro Council. The big reason is that the city will not have its brief ready before the Dec. 3 Metro amalgamation debate.

But ... It COSTS A Bit Too It always has been costly to be Canadian of course. A meagre population in a vast land pays heavily in taxation to provide itself with roads, communications, health serâ€" vices, education and defence â€" more than is economic, in fact, if strict economic arguâ€" Now it appears that the price is going up. This has not been generally recognizâ€" ed yet but it should become clear after the federalâ€"provâ€" incial conference in Ottawa next month. The conference will deal with how the tax dollar should be divided between the Federal Government and the provinces. On the surface this looks like an argument between the two levels of Government. The provincial premiers, particularly Lesage of Quebec, Robarts of Ontario and Bennett of British Columâ€" bia, w ant greater access to tax sources. And in this age of provincial ascendancy, thev‘re likely to get it. ‘ The theory is that the Fedâ€" eral Government can vacate certain tax fields, leaving the provinces a larger share. It would be the same tax dolâ€" lar, in other words, divided up in a different way. It would be nice if it were that simple,. But it isn‘t As one federal tax expert reâ€" marked, "somebody is going to have to raise taxes." He pointed out that not only the Federal Government, but most of the provinces, have been operating at a deâ€" ficit for several years. The plain fact is that it‘s costing all Governments a lot more to operate than they‘re taking in from taxation and other reâ€" venue. The surge towards provinâ€" cial autonomy has no relation to Government economies, to cutbacks in services or spendâ€" ing. On the contrary, the proâ€" vinces want more revenue beâ€" cause they are hardpressed to build the roads, the schools and to provide the health and welfare services their popuâ€" lations are demanding. And how can the Federal Government, faced with anâ€" other $700,000,000 deficit, conâ€" template the possibility of reâ€" ducing its revenues? After seven massive deficits in a row, federal tax people reâ€" gard the thought with posiâ€" tive horror. This is a direct result of the Canadian federal gystem and a good illustration of the cost of being Canadian, Had the federal Government been able to proceed immediately with its national contributory pension plan, the direct tax increase would not have been necessary. The $10 increase would have been paid out of contributions, based on earnâ€" ings, of participants in the contributory plan. The federalâ€"provincial arguâ€" ment, of course, has already resulted in a decision to raise federal taxes. Most Canadians will begin in January to pay up to $30 a year in additional income taxes to finance the $10 increase in the old age pension. This is only the beginning of course. The Federal Govâ€" ernment has ambitious plans for revising national defence, costliest item in the federal budget. It has plans to exâ€" pand aid to underdeveloped areas of the country; to proâ€" vide university scholarships; and to expand family allowâ€" ance peyments.

They‘re spending it even before they get it. There is not a single province which has not found its resources strained by the multiplying costs of providing universal education.

It all adds up to higher taxes. It may not be good economics. Making Canada work never has been.

There are others, including some in the present Federal Government, who seem to hold the view that if Quebec does split from the rest of Canada, the automatic result would be absorption into the United States. This is a fatuous view; Caâ€" nadians have always been willing to pay tHe price of being Canadians. The United Empire Loyalists of the 18th century were willing. The Caâ€" nadians of 1812 were willing when they fought for this country. Now it is not Quebec, nor any other section of the counâ€" try, which will determine whether or not Canada surâ€" vives.

But it has always been paid. WAR OF WITS. While there is the Landlord and Tenâ€" ant Act to protect the tenant (and the landlord to a degree) and the lease to protect the landlord, there is nothing to prevent the landlord and the prospective tenant g'om telling each other the most outrageous white lies. The previous tenant, according to the landlord, was (a) transferred by his firm, (b) bought a place of his own. He never, never leaves because the rent is too high and he can get a better deal elsewhere, or is he ever evicted because he nearly wrecked the joint or, wouldn‘t pay his rent. He‘s never getting out because the landlord asked him to, nor is he leaving gecauu he‘s run the car through the end of the garage and wants to leave before the landlord finds out and seeks repair costs. â€" The prospective tenant is always leaving the place he‘s in because (a) it‘s too small, (b) he doesn‘t like living in an apartment (or house, or triplex, or whatever he‘s in), (c) it‘s too far from shopping and schools. S And the things the landlord and prospective tenant tell each other get more entertaining. No matter if the place has six bedrooms, the people who lived there before had no small children. They may have had a teenager or two wandering around, but they were so quiet and well behaved, the neighbors didn‘t know they existed, so the landlord says. > The previous tenant of the place you‘re looking at was always well liked by his neighbors, was in love with the place and left brokenâ€"hearted. 0 o And no one ever complained about: (a) the cold, (b) the amount of hot water available, (c) the storm windows, (d) the plumbing or electrical wiring. _ Even if you, as a prospective tenant, see the faucets dripping, the hot water tank leaking all over the floor or feel draughts from the illâ€"fitting storm windows â€" no one has ever complained about these things, so says the landlord. ___ Yes, he was so sorry to leave, he left a couple of mementos of his delightful stay in this paradise â€" a pair of bald tires. And to hear the landlord tell it, the previous tenant was so struck by the beauty of the house, he spent hours just taking pictures to send to his relatives, and the garage was so clean the fellow invariably "used part of it for an office." "Of course the place doesn‘t look its best right now â€" you know â€" moving out and all that, might need a coat of paint, or a washing down, but this‘ll be done tomorrow." This is one the landlord saves until he sees a frown on the prospective tenant‘s puss. Of course this isn‘t a oneâ€"way street, the prospective tenant can come up with some dandies. The prospective tenant‘s 5â€"year old son is always "really wellâ€"behaved, never writes on the walls, scratches the floors, hits the neighbors‘ kids or steals." By this time the landlord must be looking for a halo. It really doesn‘t matter if there are three children beâ€" tween the ages of two and six, they‘re all wellâ€"trained, responsible, respect the property of others and by jing, if they weren‘t so young they‘d all be in high school. And â€" oh yes, â€" "It‘s really too bad we have to move now â€" place too small and all that â€" children must change schools, we‘ll be missed by the Home and School, the PTA, the Ratepayers Association, the Society for the Preservation of Pileated Woodpeckers etc." And it goes on and on, on both sides. It would certainly be refreshing if people would be a bit more frank, like this: Prospective tenant: "I‘ve just been kicked out because my kid threw jacket down the sewer, flooded the place, and tore down the TV aerial, my wife drove the car through the fence, and I belted the landlord in the laâ€" bonza for casting his shadow on me, now I gotta find a joint to live in". Landlord: "Well, this place is no bargain at the price. but the roof only leaks in one place, the upstairs is cold as an Eskimo‘s breakfast in winter and hot as Christine Keeler‘s memoirs in the summer, the hot water tank is slow, the place is draughty and hard to heat. The people left here because they said they got a better deal two blocks down the street, so you‘re welcome to the joint.
