BEVERLEY ACRES AND JARVIS STREET Dear Mr. Editor: The long drawn-out struggle by the Yonge Street merchants to have the parking meters removed from the tonm’s main street came to an abrupt end early last month when council again turned down the proposal. Re- peated requests to both the 1963 and 1964 administrations to have the meters removed have fallen on deaf ears on every occasion, although the merchants did have the solid support. 'of_tyvo members of the 1963 council. Citizens of Richmond Hill are re- minded that at an early meeting this year our municipal council decided to submit to the electors the question of a. two year term. At the time we expressed surprise that a council so recently elected should be concerned so soon with a proposal for a two year term. Certainly we observed no public demand for a change. How- ever as it now stands the taxpayers of Richmond Hill will have to reg- ister a ’vote at the coming elec- tions if they want to retain the right and privilege of annually having a say_in their own public business. . _. .. an..." The businessmen’s first reques wee made to council in the early summer of 1963. This latest refusal had the support of not only the transportation and parking commit- tee but also the police committee. Police Committee Chairman Walter It is charged that sometimes some elected representatives once in office treat public business as if it were their own. Fortunately this cha1 ge does not apply to 0m municipal coun- cils in this area but the best guaran- tee. that it will not happen is for all citizens to take an interest in their own public business. Under our present system of an- nual elections the taxpayers once every year have the privilege of hear- ing the annual reports and passing judgement on those who have held guhlic office. Many arguments will 9 advanced in favor of the two year term. One will be that in the inter- ests of economy we should save the expense of an election. We suggest this is the last place to start in cut- Municipal nominations and elec- tions still are several weeks away, but it never is too early to start giv- ing thought and consideration to this important business of democratic gbVemment. Municipal business is the people’s business and the re- sponsibility of electing those who for the coming year will transact the public business of the municipality is an important one which should have the serious interest of every tax- payer. a-.. -...~-r-..--_._ .. 7-...“ . _~â€"â€".~..~..-u -V.V VU '- F‘ Subscription Rate $4.50 per year; to United States $5.50; 10c single copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

REPLIES T0 “CONSTANT SPECTATOR Other arguments will be that a two year term encourages long-range planning, that other municipalities are doing it, and that members of parliament are elected for terms of five years. There is little in these arguments to support the new pro- posal and we share the view that while the two year term may be con- sidered by some council members as a nice cosy idea, it has little to com- mend it in the interests of the tax- payer. ting expenses and every taxpayer un~ doubtedly could make suggestions where some economies might be brought about without takingaway the taxpayers’ right of annual elec- tions. The cost of a municipal election is very small compared to the cost of a municipal council which is not the best available for the public service. In two minutes a municipal govern- ment could waste more money on an ill-advised venture than municipal elections would cost for the next ten years. A one year term may be too short for a good council member. It is altogether too long for a poor council member. The taxpayer has little enough say now in his own public business. In annual elections he at least has the opportunity once a year of saying who is going to spend his money. Good municipal government will be best served by continuing the one year term. of the expense of an election and there can be continuity of service and long term planning. There’s no need to throw away the right of annual elections to obtain these 0b- jectives. It is most unfortunate that council has seen fit to override the wishes of the vast majority of Yonge Street businessmen. Today’s age of mobility dictates that shoppers must have plenty of free parking. If it’s not available in one location, then there is the temptation to simply drive on and seek it elsewhere. Instead of helping the merchants in a high tax- ation area to meet its competition, council seems determined to make their task more difficult. A good council or a good council member can be elected by acclama- tion or re-elected if the people so desire and thus can be saved much Scudds said the town police don’t have enough men to properly super- vise the Yonge Street area; .On the other hand he claimed the meters tend to police themselves. best because of lhelr attend- ance at practices and games and desire to play and win?

At first he had a few qualms as to whether he would be up to his task but he resolved to do his best in any case. “It was all prairie land out there,” said Allan, “no trees at all except for the trees that the farm- ers planted.” He said that the people were mostly farmers who went in for raising beef cattle and wheat growing or else they were retired and lived in the villages. Through the week Allan spent his mornings preparing his sermon of the week and selecting hymns. In the afternoons he spent much of his time visiting and getting acquainted with the Eeople. He found them very friendly and easy to now. While he was in Milo, Allan supervised the va- cation Bible school. On Sunday, he held an hour long service from 11.30 to 12.30. Some of the sermons he prepared had such interesting titles as “Christ and Culture”, “What Takes Place After Death”, “Faith Healing”, “One Man Plus God”, “Can We Believe In Miracles”. He taught the in-‘ termediate class in Sunday school. He did other things too like helping the C.G.I.T. to conduct the business meeting at the annual C.G.I.T. banquet. On one occasion he offered the prayer at the Lion’s Club banquet and at another time a+ended a Re-i bekah Lodge memorial service. “There were not too many church activities,” said Allan, “no young people’s group . . . only the ladies aid and the C.G.I.T.” He received many social invitations to the homes and had the opportunity of making several friends. He visited the Eden Valley Indiaiii Resen ation and helped to conduct a service for the Indians. An Indian interpreter was on hand to translate the English sermon into the Indian language. This reservation was the territory of the Stoney Indian tribe. At other times he assisted Mr. Sharpe in Vulcan. It was Mr. Sharpe’s duty to help and advise the student minister It wasn’t all work though for Allan had fun too. McGregor Park was close by and it had an artificial lake that was good for swimming and there was a miniature golf course. Sometimes he played ball with the local children. There were of course frustrations like the time when Allan had to struggle with the car he was given to use. One time he got stuck miles from nowhere and another time a tire was stolen right from under his nose. So much of the time he rode a bicycle. Allan’s own personal philosophy follows along the lines of the reason he chose the ministry as his career. “The most important thing in life,” he said, “is to find out what God has in mind for one and to be able to fulfill it as much as possible, always asking for His help and resolving to do the best each day to make the world a little better.” Next year, Allan would like a little change, perhaps to go to a foreign country like France or Germany or join a project like “Operation Cross- roads.” And the year after that he would like to go back to a mission field again.

And well OVer half of these accidents happen- ed because a gun was ac- cidently discharged. A gun should never be left in a position where the movement of a boat or dog might cause it to {all down and discharge. Gun muules should be pointed away from other hunters at all times.
