Williams. will contest the three councillor positions. Most of the fireworks came during the speeches and quesâ€" tion and answer period for the three incumbents and five new- comers seeking seats on next year's school board. Newcomer Bert Stevenson of Maple, active in ratepayers groups for years. charged the board with approving payment to an unnamed board member for ‘work done for the board. Reeve Rutherford. a retired farmer, now owns an insurance agency near Woodbridge. He first became reeve in 1960 when he won a landslide victory over Bill Anstey and Vic Ryder. Mr. Rutherford discussed the development of a procedural ‘bylarw early in 1961 through which all business is now fun- nelled through one of five com- mittees. J. M. Mulholland of Thom- hill chaired the meeting. which packed the hall. Nominations were from 7.30 to 8.30. De‘pu‘ty-reeve Jesse Bryson, a Purpleville farmer elected to the post in 1960, promised to continue his interest in plan- ning and in conservation and in “getting local government on the ‘ball." Maple housewife Mrs. Ruth MeConkey thanked ratepayers for electing her in 1960 as first woman member of council. She claimed she had attended more‘ committee and council meetings and asked more questions than any other member of council. She took credit for hav- ing two-way radios install- ed in water trucks and add- ed that approval for the Edgeley water area had been received, recently. Roads committee Chairman Wilfred Keffer of Maple. a' re- tired farmer, commented the1 increasing importance of road construction and maintenance in the towns-hip’s budget. “There have been too many bylaws pushed onto people by this council without their know- ing about it.” charged Milton Savage, a Bathurst Street farm- er who ran fifth in the 1960 election. “People weren't made aware of the zoning bylaw." Mr. Savage attacked the by- law, which he claimed prevents a man from selling his own property. He charged council has given in to Metropolitan ‘Toronto. tio] a man from selling his own Chairman Lorne A. Wells of property.

He said it was wishful think- ing to think that industry is clamoring to locate Iere. township. stated that the town- ship should get more industry to Iower the mill rate. Chairman Sam Kaiser, Klein- burg painter, recalled closing of one-room schools at Carr- ville. Purpleville. Mount Le- banon and Lower Ninth since he was elected to the first township-wide board in 1960. Trustee Terry Goodwin, Thornhill salesman, commented on the increased interest in edâ€" ucation that had come with the setting up of a township area. He suggested a planned pro- gram of providing better facili- ties, including the closin-g of one room schools. Mr. Goodwin predicted Jthe ‘1962 school rate would go up five mills because of an over- grant by the Department of Education of $78,000. Pine Grove housewife Mrs. Dorothy Robertson, third in- cumbent running for re-elect- ion, contended that closing the smaller schools and building consolidated schools would send the mill rate up. She stated the five mill tax i'hcrease was only Mr. Goodwin’s idea. Mr. Stevenson, a personnel manager. is president of the Normaple Ratepayers Associa- tion. secretary of Vaughan Township Federated Ratepayâ€" ers. and president of George Bailey Home and School, He charged the board with attempting to skirt controversy. failure to keep promises and with calling special meeting with such short notice that the public and press are unable to attend. Another Pine Grove resident, M. D. Armstrong, contended that his wide travels and re- search background would give him a valuable background as a new trustee. Mr. Armstrong, a profession- a1 engineer with the Depart- ment of Highways. has lived in the township for only a year. He suggested that his English training and lack of involve- ment in township affairs would produce a different point of view. “A board can only be en- riched by having different kinds of people on it," he added. “Inexperience can be an asset.” Mr. Arm- strong suggested his re- search training could be applied to school business. Ross Jolifi‘e. a Thornhill salesman who lost out in 1960, charged the board with mis- management and conversion of school business into a political football. “We must have a good edu- cational climate to attract in- dustry," Mr. Jolif’fe said. Mrs. Edmamson quoted a (All of Our Town West of Yonge St.) You Can Depend On Me For Action For Election Information WM. F. LEISHMANI x VOTE FOR “I. 4 - 1540 “Over 500 municipalities throughout Ontario are bidding for available industry and many have much more to offer than we have.” Mr. Tinker said. He said there is no guarantee that industry would locate on town-owned land. Rising debenture debt was another point criticized by the candidate who said it was rea- ching the saturation point. It now stands at almost 21 per trustee as saying at one meetâ€" ing. “Anything the superinten- dent says is okay.“ The board should set up a policy which the superintendent should work w’thin, according to Mrs. Ed- manson. “If the trustees had assumed more responsibility and done more probing. the board wouldn't be paying back that overgrant of 378.000" she said. Oral French. an issue e- vaded by all candidates during their speeches, came up during the ques- tion period, when Dalton McArthur of Maple asked: “Why did you refer the question of oral French to the council?" Mrs. Robertson replied that she had felt it would be cheap- er to hold a plebiscite in con- junction with the municipal elections. She was not sure the whole township was in favor of oral French. Newcomer Bert Stevenson re- ported that a check with the Department of Education show- ed it was unprecedented for a school board to take a curriculâ€" um question to the electors. He called for the board, as an el- ected body, to take a stand and make its own decisions. Trustee Terry Goodwin main- tained that the board has more pressing problems than oral French. He claimed that it would be difficult to secure ad- equate teachers of the subject. He noted that he and Sam Kaiser had both opposed sub- mission of the question to the people in the form of a plebis- cite. Elections are slated for De cemrber 8. A ratepayers association meeting was held last night (Wednesday night) at Jefferson School. Ratepayers meeting have al- so been slated for Powell Road School (November 29). Lang- staff School (December 3), Charles Howitt School (Decem- ber 5D and Thornhill School (December 6).

Our rock- et is out of fuel and it is time we faced cold hard reality", Mr. Tinker told a responsive aud- ience. In Ward 1 J. Ql Fayette, Wal- [er Scudds and Allan J. Smyth are contesting the seat left va- cant by Mr. MacDiarmid. Mr. Fayette and Mr. Smyth both said they would work to promote more industry. Increased greenbelt areas and safeguarding the right of the taxpayer were other vmints scored by the two candidates. Mr. Scudds said the main is~ sue was holding the line on taxes. He said they had jumped 40 per cent in four years. A stable tax rate will encour- age industry, he told the meet- ing. Opposing Councillor Alex Campbell in Ward 2 are two newcomers to the political field‘ Patrick Smith and Stan- ley Ransom. Mr. Campbell‘ chairman of the welfare committee‘ said welfare costs had dropped dur- ing his term of office. He said industry was ham- pered in locating here due to shortage of industrial land. Paving of Bayview Ave- nue was termed “essential” by the candidate. Mr. Ransom said he was not a “yes man" or a fence sitter. He strongly opposed land spec- ulation and annexation. He has been a member of the Parks Board for the past tWO years. ming 'blue@coal' RAMER 8. SON TU. 4-1313 189 Centre St. E. Peoplein everywalkof life go outoftheirwayfor‘bluecoal'.
