Council based its decision, after a suggestion that the century- old,practice might be discontinued, on the fact that the town is going to a two-year term for council this December, a change approved by referendum in last year’s elections. we definitely approve of council’s decision, but suggest that a good look be taken at the traditional state- ment and an intelligent attempt be made to make it reflect a true picture of the town’s business which the av- erage ratepayer can understand. It is a ratepayer’s right to know how his money has been spent, but under the. present system it is the rare individual who can'digest the inform- ation contained in the type of financ- ial statement, made available after he or she arrives at the nomination meeting, in time to question the elected representatives, if questions are needed. Every year we urge ratepayers to attend these nomination meetings and- take an intelligent interest in the municipality’s affairs, both then and at the polls. Many times we have said that citizens as share- holders in the town should attend to get an accounting of public business conducted by their elected represent- atives. We are not surprised, how- ever. that many who have heeded our urgings and attended the nomination meetings have been left with a feeling of bewilderment and are disappointed with the meagre amount of real in- formation they received. Surely some attempt can be made to make this annual meeting of shareholders in our‘town, the tax« payers, more truly informative and In this issue the announcement that the Canadian Council on Hos- pital Accreditation has awarded ac- creditation status to York Central Hospital is gratifying news for all the people of this district and espec- ially for the thousands who have given generous support to the estab- lishment of a hospital in this district. We extend sincere congratulations to the board of trustees and members of the hospital association, Ad- ministrator G. J. Chatfield, Chief of Staff Dr. James Langstaff and mem- bers of the medical staff which now numbers sixty, Miss G. A. Gate- house, director of nursing and mem- bers of the nursing staff, volunteer hospital auxiliary workers, depart- ment heads and all associated in any way with the hospital operation. Ac- creditation, the hallmark of effic- iency and competence in the hospital world is not attained by any individ- ual effort. It is the result of dedi- cated team work in which everyone associated with the hospital program plays a part. Vaughan Residents Still Amused Over Conditions In Twp.

For years, as a resident of Maple.

Do you not read your paper with alarm in Page 1 of last Thursday’s issue when you re- port that Ontario Water Re- sources Commission, Canadian National Railways, and goodness Weekly: Established 1878 Post Office Department, Ottawa” useful. A condensed financial report couched in accounting terms and a three minute talk by council mem- bers really gives little information to interested persons. In the sand- wich filling between thanks to the nominators and season’s greetings, there can be little meat of real in- formation or detail. If taxpayers’ money is used for expenses they have every right to know the details of what is consid- ered to fall into this category. The financial statement they receive should give detailed information and a complete picture of the year’s business up to nomination time. -..V..,v- _ -_V, If an adequate time allowance for each member of council to give at least a minimum accounting of his or her term of office is not possible under the present system, where nominations for the public and sep- arate school boards and for council are held at the same time and place, then the solution could lie in holding separate nominations for council and school board. At future nomination meetings we believe opportunity should be given for questions from the audience. True, this may extend an already lengthy session, but in the interest of goOd understanding between the electors and their elected represent- atives, such provision would play a. major role. Too long has it been said that the majority of people are indifferent about what happens in their municâ€" ipal government. We maintain the great majority of taxpayers do care, and we suggest the others should get interested soon to safeguard their right to know what is going on. Another council can easily rescind the decision of the 1965 council, and accounting in the future will take place only every two years. close observation by independent and highly qualified inspectors covering allphases of hospital opergsivonn. Le§s 'York Central’s achievement in gaining accreditation after less than two years in operation is, We believe, a record for all Canada. A hospital cannot make application until it has been in operation for a year. At the end of the first year’s operation the board of trustees made application for accreditation. The examination and inspections were made in July and this week the certificate of ac- creditation was hung in the hospital lobby. The award will be recognized by a feature article extensively illus- trated in a coming issue of the na- tionally distributed magazine, Hos- pital Administration in Canada. ,fl‘fghhalf of the-hospi‘ialsl'ln Canada Have been awarded accreditation. Accreditation is not awarded for excellence in any one department. It is granted only when every phase of the hospital operation and every de- tail of patient care meets the high standards set by the national body. Accreditation is the community’s as- surance that the local hospital is meeting in a satisfactory manner the high standards set for Canadian hos- pitals and that everyone at the hos- pital is doing a good job. It is grat- ifying that York Central, not yet two years old, has earned this coveted award, and it is reassuring that this high standard of hospital care is at the service of our sick and injured. Sept. 23, 1965 \«ID Chief Advocates County-Wide Police Force; More Efficient MacDqu Ottawa Report Lester Pearson and John Diefenbaker face each other once again in an election battle that will almost surely be the last one for them, and perhaps for both.

A fifth and record-break- ing battle is not likely be- tween these two men, no matter what the result of the November election. If Mr. Pearson wins a solid victory, Mr. Diefenbaker will With the issue of reg- ional governments much to the forefront at the present time, the extension of’this to regional services natur- ally follows. The question of a county- wide police force is one which has been discussed in various places and var- ious times. Some time ago York County Council spon- sored an inquiry into the possibility of a county po- lice force but the matter was subsequently dropped. A plea for the introduc- tion of county police forces was recently made by Chief Thomas Living- stone of the Waterloo Township Police Force, in the Kitchener area. The rapid expansion of cities, towns and villages into rural areas is creating a need for more adequate policing/1 he said, and this could b3 done with a uni- fied poliCe force. “When people call the police they are not con- It’s Pearson And Dief Again. “It’s A Great Idea . . .

' If the election should re- sult in deadlock, it's quite probable that both major parties would quickly seek and find new leaders. This, then, is probably the last round in the personal and political conflict that has dominated the last seven years of Canadianrpolitics. The chief also felt that the larger force would make possible the improve- ment of police standards by continued education of of- ficers and longer probation periods. As the campaign began, both men seemed in the best of health, despite their ages. They were ready for the fray, even though Mr. Dief- enbaker celebrated his 70th birthday on September 18, while Mr. Pearson was 68 on April 23. "The podic’g allege at Aylmer is a fine thing but I do not feel that gradua- tion from the school should mean the end if we are The eight-week campaign with long hours and relentâ€" less travel is arduous for anyone. But neither Mr. RATE PM:st going to raise the police- man to a professional standard", he said. He recommended a train- ing program within the de- partment and that officers should take courses at uni- versities which they could attend in their time off duty. Interrogation was one of the fields in which spec- ialists are needed. he felt, and stressed too that better informed officers were needed acting as witnesses in court. “It is only proper that any officer who denies anyone of his freedom should have a good know- ledge of what he is doing," emphasized Chief Living- stone. He also felt that the pro- bationary period for police- men should be extended from the present one year to three. In that time the department ‘ would: be able to evaluate the officer and he would have time to de- cide whether he wanted to continue in police work. Pearson nor Mr. Diefenbaker showed any hesitation about getting 01% the mark. That was evident on the night of September 7, when Mr. Pearson announced dis- solution of Parliament. It was the first time Parliament had been dissolved on tele- vision, live, no less, and Mr. Diefenbaker followed im- mediately on screen. The Opposition Leader had no real knowledge that the Prime Minister was going to call an election, though most people were fairly certain he would. At any rate, Mr. Dief- enbaker was not at a loss for words. He blasted the Prime Min- ister for calling an election before the parliamentary re- distribution of ridings. He said Mr. Pearson was afraid to meet Parliament, afraid to face non-confidence motions for his failure to clean up the mess in government.
