Mr. Harry Lester, Aurora_ was guest speaker for the Oak Ridges Home and School Association. Mr. Lester's address was an in- spiring and perhaps a searching one as he pointed out that good citizenhip begins in the home by making it a pleasant place fer family relationships. It is a qual- ity not confined to adults or to any one community or country. If practised consistently Citizen- ship is a “good” factor the world over and helps bind all peoples together. Mr. Wm. Schurman. president, chaired the meeting and Mrs. C. R. McLaughlin was Cleaners & Dyers OAK RIDGES (Yonge St.) Prophetors: Art 8: Dot Jennings Plans for a gala Christmas party and buifet dinner were made at the meeting of St. Mark’s Anglican Church Men's Club.

Mr. Lawrence said he expects a full turnout of 40 for the party. A lively entertainment prograrn is planned. I 6 THE LIBERAL.

'Any one of us who is hesitant about exercising his yote in the forthcoming election might well recall the words of Daniel Webster, spoken more than 100 years ago: “God grants liberty only to those who love it, 'and are always readyrto guard and defend it.” In a democratic country, the free citizen’s most pow- erful weapon in defence 'of his liberty is the privilege of voting for the candidate or party of his choice.

We do en- deavour to do 'what we can as soon as we can. but, not being in a sition to own any road equip- h‘t, we have to wait until We get ihgalp from Township. “Often equipment may be at the extreme north or west of the Township and it does take time. If you think we are lax in get- ting work done. that may be why. No one is more anxious to co~operate with the people than Trustees. Garbage bitched Four Candidates Seeking Election Village Trustees Oil the subject of culverts re- paired and ditches cleaned, Mrs. Scott noted, “It would be apprec- iated by Trustees if ditches were looked upon as such and not as gagbage disposel‘place‘s." Chairman Mr. Findlay review- ed the financial picture, indicat- ing a slight surplus. He said the village had been in an “excell- ent” condition for debentures on the old basis of assessment and would be “even better" on the new basis. . ' She said sand barrels would be out shortly, “but some used as trash barrels have been badly used and we have to pay for them.” The Commissioner said very little sidewalk work had been done, except for minor repairs. She was certain if Trustees were in the same position, sidewalk improvements on a larger scale would be attempted next year. She asked raiépayers’ co-oper- ation in keeping walks cleared of snow. He pointed out, essential capl- tal outlays had been on a “pay as you go" policy and he con- sidered the same practice could provide for greater works, such as railway crossing changes. “if and when the responsibility is settled.” Mr. Findlay noted the Police Department, of which he had been Commissioner. would re- quire more capacity before many months; sidewalks would need to be reviewed in the new year; and old street lights are being replaced from time to time “as they give up tile ghost." ‘ rfidmsivfiirfiéée’ office ofwened with part-Me staff. "The' $500 _hydro inventory was again postponed. Municipal Services The Chairman stressed King City was an urban village with rapidly expanding urban services. Municipal garbage collection was started in 1958; the library be- came a public one this year; a police department wag inaugurat: Mr. Findlay contended, “One fault of a Police Village is the amount of work falling on Trus- tees." He said in 1958, Trustees spent four working days a week, which 'increased in 1959 until Mr. G. T. Thompson was engaged July 1. The Village Secretary-Manag- er was employed a little over three days a week now, leaving Trustees two ‘days a week with “no sign of it reducing." He concluded, “If what I have said infers I am proud of the efficiency and economy of the rvillage administration, it does not In King City for office of three mean I believe the maximum has been achieved which is possible for a properly constituted urban village. It merely means I believe the maximum is being achieved i.. the face of and in spite of the complicated procedures of oper- ating a highly-urbanized village of nearly 1500 people as a Police Village. Completing three years as Fire and Water Commissioner, Mr. Bolton said the Brigade was working toward a new fire truck. He reported “a _very good record for fires in town this year. There were about 15 outside the villdge, none doing great damage.” He asked residents to keep hydrants cleared of snow for their own safety. i Favors Meters Mr. Bolton said water con- sumption is not above average for flat rate billing but ad- vocated the eventual installation of meters," which would be a large expenditure.” He said the water supply had not been “too good" this year, but with the water table low, more places than King City had suffered a short- age Mr. Bolton said, “I don’t think the village is where it should be and I’m still of the same opinion. If the same Trusteee are return- ed I think you’ll see another en- deavour made to settle status of the village. The three Trustees were unan- imous in praising the work done by the Secretary-Manager they had appointed. “He needed little instruction on anything We asked him to do," said Mr. Bol- ton Two ratepayers took advantage of question periods, Mr. Len Robb questioned the sale of wa- ter to outsiders while the village was in short supply. Mr. Findlay explained to Mr. William Barker the garbage service was not run- ning at a loss because it was paid from the waterworks account, since garbage fees were first de- posited in that account." Mr. Barker thought Mr. Bol- ton’s comparison of water used on a meter system in Weyburn Saskatchewan, did not apply here. Mr. Bolton said, “We all use water,” and suggested meters would cut down water consump- tion and defray expense of “hav- ing to go to another well for some time." Mr. Barker said the village. was "lucky" to have its $30.000 water- works debentures runnlng at 3% and 4% percent.
