THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, October 26, 1961 15 "Big Daddy" - Effort Slapped Goodhead Seeking Suburban Vote Asserts Haggart, Rejecting Metro Reeve Norman Goodhead, declared contender for the seat being vacated by Metro’s “Big Daddy” Fred, 'recognize what only could be Gardiner, Who will relinquish the position of “Super- mayor" of Metro at the end of the year, and Mayor James Haggart of Richmond Hill, have been trading punches in a radio exchange on their regular weekly programs.

And, of course, the inclusion of more suburban communities in Metro would increase the num- ber of suburban votes, and en- hance Mr. Goodhead’s chances considerably. ., “If Mr. Goodhead wants us only for our votes to satisfy his present ambitions â€" and i hope' that this is not the case â€"â€" I respectfully suggest that he lay off â€"- we don't want any part of Metro up here." areas of Pickering, Markham, Vaughan, Toronto Gore and Toronto Township. to assist in getting Metro services. I feel we should all benefit from ex- perience and I have experienc- ed North York's growth from a population of 25,000 people to 267,000 people today, with all its inherent problems. Some of the politicians in the areas out- side Metro cannot see the woods for the trees. This is under- standable. as they have yet to experience many of the‘ prob- lems of explosive development. The mayor of Richmond Hill leads the list in this respect. I can tell the people of Richmond Hill this: Your are facing the problems of North York Town- ship of 1945-1950.

He replied on not be the case, since most of irresponsible statements that our only ray of hope for a bright future is to willingly join Goodhead’s Garden of Grace, let me remind you of the fol- lowing: .Mr. Goodhead says that we get complete planning services from Metro at no cost to us. This is not true. Complete planâ€" ning services are not available to us from Metro. As a matter of fact, Metro used our own The project is designed to raise money for community bet- terment and youth development projects and to encourage Rich- mond Hill residents to shop in their local stores. The project takes over 2,000 man hours to complete. Each storekeeper and business man in Richmond Hill is contacted by a Jaycee and is asked to give an article or service which A5 a is representative of his busi- ness. In return the Jaycees ad- ver-tise his name and place of business in the local news- paper, as well as giving radio advertising over Station CFGM.

And then there's the matter of our proposed hospital. The Metro Council has consistently refused to give financial aid to any of her own members for hospital construction purposes. 80 we will experience the con- struction of this hospital only by remaining in York County, since the county has assumed financial responsibility for it, and Richmond Hill cannot go ahead with this big item on its own. Then Mr. Goodhead mentions the fact that Metro contributes substantial sums to our county road system. If this is bothering him. I’m glad he brought the subject up, because it gives us an opportunity to remind him that it is only right they should. The residents of Metro derive full benefits from our county roads, and they sure would ex- perience pretty trying times getting to and from their cot- tages if those roads weren't there. Although we can all recog- nize Mr. Goodhead's promise that he will be our friend should he be elected chairman of Met- ropolitan Toronto as being noth- ing more than a politician prom- ise such as we will be hearing about a month from now in the municipal election campaigns in Richmond Hill. I suppose, we can derive some comfort from those words. It is nice to know that one of the prominent candidates for Mr. Gardiner’s job has prom- ised to be our warm friend. Come to think of it, Mr. Fred Gardiner has been a good friend and neighbour to usâ€"he has minded his own business and let us alone.

Here is what one of them, Ca- therine Tompkins in grade 8. .had to say: “I am not opposed to school uniforms as some people are. l school wears the same clothing the classes would look much neater. Wearing the uniforms would mean less searching for school clothes and would be much less expensive. If the un- iform were worn every day ex- ,cept on special occasions it would solve the problem of ‘What shall I wear today?’ “The uniforms would be at- tractive in the school colours of maroon and gray - perhaps a gray pleated skirt or tunic and maroon blouses or blazers with the crest and school ribbons on line and lily point sleeves were also of chantilly lace and her‘ elbow length illusion veil fell softly from a crown of white satin, trimmed with seed pearls.
