It seems to me that the means of raising money to cope with the problems of entertain- ing the youth of any area, be it winter or summer, is so simple it has been overlooked. "They need their money.

There’s the format, how about taking it further. Yours truly would be happy to help.

For this rea- son the Lake Wilcox Recreation Committee cannot directly as- sist the Oak Ridges Committee. “At no time was the Oak Ridges Recreation Committee ever told that children from Oak Ridges were not welcome to both the summer activity program at the Lake Wilcox School and recreation hall, and the waterfront program. This was made clear to the Oak Ridges Committee as early as four months ago at a meeting of their committee that was attended by the Lake Wilcox chairman. “We would like to repeat our offer to the public that any children from either of our two communities are most welcome to join your program, as well as their visiting friends and rela- tives.

WANT EXTRA INCOME? Councillor Mrs. Margaret Britnell has been showing inter- est in the King Township may- oralty race, but this week she told “The Liberal" she hasn’t yet definitely made up her mind. Mrs. Britnell plans to make her decision in time to official- ly announce it at the next meet- ing of council August 3. Deputy-reeve Mactaggart first ran for King Council in 1962, and held his seat for three years. In 1965 he defeated the then Councillor Jack Rouble of the Holland Marsh area for the office of deputy-reeve. He held that office by acclamation through two subsequent elec- tions. She says she is very upset by the attitude of several members of council who oppose the town- ship’s new Official Plan. “I’m just sick to death with all these goings on. I’m just Mr. Goodfellovy says he will have to make sure he will have the time necessary to properly fill the mayor‘s chair next year in King: He says the King Township mayor’s job is getting more serious and more difficult all the time, with more people and more problems to deal with. Councillor Goodfellow re- turned to council this year after serving continuously for 15 years before 1950. He was reeve for four years, warden of the county in 1949. and deputy- reeve for seven years. He lives in what is now King Township Ward 2, which includes Noble- ton. Mr. MacTaggart lives on the old Kin g - Vaughan Townline, on Lot 1, south of Nobleton. He is 60 years old and was born on the same family farm as his father and grandfather. He says he isn’t going to start campaigning for a while yet. He sold the farm, all but his home, some years ago and has been driving a high school bus for five years. He has rented a farm in King and thus quali- fies to hold office in that muni- cipality again in '1971. Former Councillor Ernest Crossland says he is making up his mind whether to run for mayor, or for the council seat in Ward Five. - “I haven't made up my mind positively, but I won’t be run- ning for anything but mayor," said the former township reeve and 1949 county warden. In addition, Ward [Council- lor Lorne Goodfellow has given "The Liberal” a strong indica- tion that he will be in the mayoralty race. “You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy.” said King’s Deputy-reeve Mac- taggart as he announced his candidacy for mayor. He was referring to the fact rthat the new regional government boun- daries for York County have put his home in Vaughan Township instead of in King as it was be- fore. Three-Way Race For Mayor 9 Candidates For 7 King Township Seats Throughout York County nomination and election days will be the same, both for municipal councils and school board. “The Liberal” this week interviewed four possible candidates for mayor, plus at least one declared or probable candidate for every one of the six town- ship wgrds except Ward 1. y By HAROLD BLAINE At least a three-way race for mayor in King Township seems to be shaping up as the, September 21 nomination day deadline moves closer.

I’m going to have to make up my mind in the light of all the waffling and weaving Deputy-reeve Mactag- gart has been doing, going flat on his back for the sake of a few developers in one area and forgetting about the overall welfare of the township. “There are definite issue: now, and the people have a real choice. .It’s between good government and good planning under the new 0f- ficial Plan on the one side, and the waffljng, weaving and politioking by some members of council seeking a short term vote advant- age,” said Mrs. Britnell. ‘ “I'm just searching for words.
