Five Want Liquor Outlets But Dean Seeks Third Term Election Fight In Sight York County Council last week decided against setting up a county welfare scheme “at this time". A report on a meeting be- tween the county welfare committee and Louis P.

Mr. McIntyre said the board had the authority to take the action but refused to say whe- ther it was justified, according to Mrs. Hamilton. sentative of the department According to Mrs. Jones, Mr. McIntyre explained the regula- tions imposed by the School Act, as they applied to the Beverley Acres situation. A key question in Mrs. Jones’ letter was whether the transfer from Beverley Acres was justi- fied. A third mother, Mrs. R. Rus- sell, 295 Browndale Cr., also enrolled her child at Crosby Monday afternoon. Continuing the mayor said. “We will plan the future of Richmond Hill in 1962 by de- veloping a 20 year master plan." “But remember this,” said the mayor, “it will work only if it -is acceptable to the public.

Lambton and Bruce (Continued On Page 3) STEAKS, SHAKES, CHIPS, HOT DOGS DRIVE-IN, 255 YONGE STREET, SOUTH Councillor Charles Hooper thought he.would probably con- test his Ward 2 seat again “bar- ring the unforeseen." “I‘ll make an announcement then on whether I'll run again for deputy-reeve or try to move up." Mr. MumJberson said. Mr. Mumlberson, who is re- tired from the Me¢ropolltan Toronto police department, was councillor for Ward 2 from 1956 to 1960, when he became deputy-reeve. Allan Sumner, councillor in Ward 1, refused to commit him- self except to say he would run for “some post". It's a little early to begin making election statements," he said. A11 flhree other councillors refused to make any unquali- fied statement and left open the possibility that they would move up. Deputy-reeve Lalwson Mum- lberson said he would make no announcement until nomination night, November 23. Charles Hoover, councillor for Ward 3, stated he would run again “if somebody nomi- nates me". Indications are that a tough race for the posts of reeve and deputy-reeve and a wide open battle for other council seats will feature Markham Townâ€" ship’s 1962 election battles. Reeve Wilfred Dean told “The Liberal" Tuesday he would definitely fight for a third term in the reeve's chair. A resident of Thornhill, Mr. Dean enteredl municipal poli- tics in. 1957 as deputy-reeve and was elected reeve in 1960. Reeve Joe Dales of North Gwillimbury, reminde d council that the idea had not been dropped completely. Council should retain their welfare committee in hope that the province would re- vise its welfare grams to in- clude county schemes. Counties are consit similar plans, she said Council should reopen dis- cussion on county welfare and start from scratch. sug- .gested Reeve Norn GarriOck of Woodbridge.
