Where we have such good leaders, let’s not frustrate them by continued inactivity in scouting issues. No father can afford to be a contributor Ito frustration â€" his own son is the oser. The third part is Our major weakâ€" nessuThis is the apparent lack of inter- est of the fathers of cubs and scouts in the group committee activities.

To make these favourable developments possible, it is necessary for 3/5 of the electors to vote in favour of all three ballots at the polls on March 19. This is not a pipe dream. TheSe developments are already in an advanced stage of planning. Do you favour the township collecting substantial ad- ditional revenue from golf clubs and other organ- izations in Vaughan? To accomplish this, it is necessary to provide for legal licences and super- vised banquet permits. Every time a resident of Vaughan buys a drink or a glass of beer in the Metro area, we make a contribution to the treasury of that municipality. Would you like to see substantial motel and tourist developments on principal highways passing through the township? It is a fact that under .the present local option law. no brewery or other beverage manufacturer could locate in the township Do you believe that citizens of Vaughan Township should have the same privileges as those of Metro- politan Toronto?
