Dean Breaks Tie Vote _â€".â€"â€" COLD WAVES 20% OFF ‘Appointments Are Payoff' EMarkham Member Charges Councillor A1 Sumner of Markham Township Monday af- ternoon charged some mem- bers of council are paying off election debts by securing township appointments for sup- porters. . u ‘ L! Mr. Sumner levelled his charges after Reeve Wilfred Dean -had cast the deciding vote to carry a resolution sup- porting the appointment of Un- ionville real estate man Vern Griffin to the Metropolitan To- ronto Planning Board. When Deputyâ€"rceve Charles Hooper asked Sumner to re- peat aloud a comment he made under his breath, Mr. Sumner raised his volume to a shout and repeated, “Is that another election debt paid ofl'?" Earlier. Mr. Sumner had warned that "the munici- pality is placing itself in a position of jeopardy. I do not approve of a real estate man on a planning board." "This kind of thing can put the municipality in a very bad light.” he explained. “It leaves us open to a lot of criticism.” Council's support of Mr. Grif- fin came as approval of a re- commendation from a joint meeting of representatives of Richmond Hill, Markham Vil- lage. Stouflville, and Markham Township. held in Buttonville last Thursday night. Mr. Griffin. who was nomina- tef. at the joint meeting by De~ puty-reeve Harold La-wrie of Markham Village and Mr. Hooper, received suppprt from Markham Township. Markham Village and Stouflville. Riéhmond Hill supported former Richmond Hill Deputy- reeve Joth Bradstock. A real estate salesman with Thomas N. Shea. Mr. Griffin was reeve of Markham Town- ship in 1948 and in 1949. Ap- pointment. is as representative of the northeast district; of the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board. Councillor Hoover supported W. J. Spears, a resident of Markham Village, for the post. Mr. Spear’s name received no support at the joint meeting. “Besides, Mr. Spears is an old man," Mr. Hooper added. “Isn't he an older man than you?" he asked turning to Mr. Deputy - reeve Hooper ex- plained he was supporting Mr. Griffin over Mr. Spears because he was a resident of the muni- cipality. Hooverl “I don't know how old he is," Mr. Hoover replied. ON ALL Well, isn't he getting the old age pension", Mr. Hooper per- sisted. Mr. Sumner also suggested Mr. Dean and Mr. Hooper had council's full backing at the meeting. “Wasn’t the impres- sion given that you had coun- cil's backing?” he asked. “That’s out of order, Mr. Reeve, the resolution has already been carried,” Mr. Hooper replied. “No, we at no time said you were backing us," Mr. Dean re- plied. ver replied “I don’t have to answer that question. It's out of order,” re- peated Mr. Hooper. “Mr. Hooper doesn’t have to answer your question." explain- ed Mr. Dean. "I only answered out of courtesy." No report on the joint meet- ing was made at Monday night's meeting of Richmond Hill Coun- cil. Next meeting of Markham Village Council is slated for Monday night. To a little Sicilian town comes Signor Ponsa, his wife and her mother, Signora Frola. The neighbours“ curiosity is a- roused when it is found that Si-gnora Frola lives in comfort- able circumstances while her daughter exists in a tenement house and remains secluded and a figure of mystery. This situation in the play, “Right You Are If You Think You :Are", is to be produced by the Edwardian Costumes Enhance Pirandello Play 0f Curtain Club Curtain Club and is concerned with the struggle caused by the desire of people to know the truth of a certain family, the Ponsas. The author Pirandello was fascinated with the then, new idea of a split personality - a difierent truth for each person. He maintains that truth is re- lative and subjective - the joke {being that people know the truth already since whatever seems to each of them so, is so. It will commence February 6 -9, 13-16 and tickets are availâ€" able thmugh club members and by calling TU. 4-2107. The play was written in 1916 and the Curtain Club has chos- en to present it in the elegant Edwardian period with two sets. ‘ Five names were tabled for two vacancies on the parks “board formerly held by Mr. ‘ Smyth and Mr. Ransom who re- Hsigtned prior to entering the council race.
