"If you give me your votes I'll be there while I may not know all g the answers I'll know where to get them with the View in mind of _ being fair to all and helping keep Vaughan township one of the ‘ host townships in the country. ‘ I‘ve had 10 years experience on school boards and now I have the ‘* time to busy myself on your bc- '; hall." ' James Henry Robson. RR. 2, Woodhridgo. farmer, said simply:: -, “This is not my first appearance before you. In the past I served ‘many years on council and am- t asscd a certain amount. 01' ex- ‘pci‘icncc which I offer now. You.

Now a railway is coming in and signifi- cant changes are bound to fol- , low. We must hold the line and stop subdivisions from breaking ' out everywhere in the township. We want a better school-site deal from developers. Site areas '- should be enlarged and prices ‘. held at a reasonable level.

At the annual nomination meeting held Monday evening at the high school audi- torium five of the present six I._ trustees were nominated plus " five new candidates. Trustee Mrs. Virginia Sully had signified ear- .: lier that she would not seek elec- ‘ tion. Chairman L. Clement andl Trustees Mrs. Irene Worrell, H. Sanderson, J. Rabinowitch and C. Williams will all seek a further term. Under provincial legisla' .. I tion the increase in the town pop- ] ulation will mean the 1961 board 3 will have 8 instead of six trus- ’. tees in 1961.

He said it was easy en- ough to pay lip service to princiâ€" ples but. something else to deliver the goods. “The council on which I have served two years was re- _ sponsible for a tremendous a- mount of new township income from subdivision development. These industries were created by hard work and imagination." He said: "The ratepayers have not‘ been burdcncd financially byt those subdivisions.” He suggested. ' to Mr. Windatt that he get his facts straight before levelling charges. "Finally." he concluded, “council is on record as being opposed to level crossings in the it township."
