16 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. Jan. 14, 1965 R E. ('ole of 713 John Street. Thornhill. has ad- dressed an “open letter" in Reeve t‘harles Hooper of Markham Township. a copy of which he sent to “The i Liberal". Mr. (folc is concerned about the plan of the North ‘ Thornhill development pre- l sented to 'l‘hornliitl residents " at a public meeting on De.- cember 5 which includes several high rise apartment buildings. He says: "i consider this plan ill- conceived for the following reasons: it will devaluate the homes of many small property owners; the reasons ers. roads. etc.‘. l|o\\e\et, modern town planners all agree that these should he developed in their own stir- roundings. The finest of these are developments such as 'i'lioi'ncliffe and Pleinins- don Park. or perhaps more obvious. the building of ap- artment blocks in down- town areas where land is not available. Even in downtown areas. blocks of h i g h rise apartments should be grouped. Compare these with plans to superimpose high rise apartments on the Thornhill residential area.

As a rule, people don’t buy new cars in January. They buy in the fall or they hold off until spring and summer. A lot of car dealers write January off. But not Rambler Dealers. Not this year. They‘re going to buck tradition. Rambler Dealers have built up a great sales momentum. (November sales alone were 50% more than the same period a year ago.) They won’t stop now. They’re going to drive right over the January sales barrier. HOW? With the right product and the great- est deals of the entire year. Your Rambler Dealer wants to sell cars. He’s offering superb deals that can’t be beatenâ€"this month or any other month. F or '31 days, you won‘t find Rambler Dealers in Canada writing January off.
