The Whitby-based goup home is for residents re-entering independent community living following a period of emotional or mental rehabilitation., Lions Club photo * Whiby's administrative comniitteehas referred the final< stage of the downtown secondary' plan for two weeks after a resident pointed out a section of the plan could lead to construction of duplexes or townhouses in single faniily detached home areas.-: John Davis notedl that the plan would allow duplexes te be built in areas zoned low density residential. That was enough for the comnittee te decide te have staff review the plan, which also met criticism from Whitby fire chief Ed Crouch. The. secondary plan recommends' that Green St. at Dundas St. E. be closed off once improvements te the Athol St.fDundas St. E. intersection are finished. The Town would then convert that end of the street te a parkette. But in a letter te council, Crouch said the Whitby Corporate Center at Dundas and Green was -built with the, provision that emergency service (D Don -tow0Whit byiJ be available from, Green St., Dundas St. and Athol St. "Cilosing off, Green St. would eliminate the bigger percentage of our presentý access, thus hinders Our 1 reipénàe .. and manoeuverability ,j"- wrote Crouch.

The committee also 'heard from Bill Little, developer of the Pearson Lanes - boutiques on Mary St. W., who suggested the Town use, existing downtown. paring lots as areas to hold dances or crate skating rinks. The plan is expected to be back before the committee in twol weeks.

"It would be extremely difficuit to know which books are illegal," says Roberts, "The meaning of pornography should be deter-. mined." Roberts was recently directed by the Whitby library board to express opposition to the bill at the federal level. But apart from 1"slight modificatio ns," Ontario riding MPW Scott Fenneil sàys the bill will- go through as written, having already passed first reading. " I My judgment will be with my constituents," says, Fenneli. "I have no qualms about the bill and I have received positive letters for the approval of Bill C-54."
