"But I will un- less somebody else enters the race who I believe should be on council. There are indications that the municipal councils will have more responsibility than it appeared at first and with a growing law business I will find the time required by muni- cipal work all I can handle." he stated frankly. fiéserfa Thornhill lawyer who lives at Concord, has serv- ed for the past twoAyeafs on the township‘s planning board as council’s representative. He is completing his fourth year as councillor. Another candidate for a seat on the municipal council will be Jack Gilbert of the Woodbridge area.

The councillor also notes. with pride. that con- dition of township roads has been considerably improved during the past two years and that any complaints received by him had received prompt at- tention. Still giving thoughtful con- sideration to the matter”, Coun- cillor Dalton McArthur of Maple expects to come to a firm decision within the next week‘ to 10 days. Mr. McArthur, who‘ has served on the township council for the past six years, has recently started up in busi- ness for himself (with a part- ner). “Although some respon- sibilities of the present munici- pal councils are being trans- ferred to the regional council, other responsibilities, such as planning. are being added, and ‘1 don‘t know whether in fair- ness to my business and to my partner. I can afford to take the time which will be necessary," he said. Majority Vaughan Seek Town Seats “If I run. and I would like to. but I don‘t know if I can, I will be seeking a municipal council seat,” said Mr. McAi'thur. “Two years ago I was one of ‘ two candidates for council. who learned that the most important problem to be faced was the preservation of our municipal-l ily's bordeis. I still feel this is of extreme importance and I would like to be there fighting to preserve them during the next two years," he affirmed.

Mrs. Monica Wood and child- ren were having breakfast at 8 o’clock Tuesday in their kitch- en at 335 South Taylor Mills Drive when they heard a “boom” in the basement direct- ly below them.

This is the advice of Canine Control Officer Jim Ryan and of Mat Finer, manager of Nordâ€" ica’s Sportswear at Richmond Heights Centre.

He advised Mr. Finer to drive carefully to a bushy area off Bayview Avenue, but when they arrived at the bush and opened the car doors, the raccoon scrambled up under the dash- Mr. Ryan was called to the scene, and with heavier gloves on he managed to extricate the crying, frightened animal, which promptly made off for the bush. Vastly relieved, Mr. Finer was about to climb into the car. But there were still noises under the dashboard â€"â€" another raccoon. Again Mr. Rvan struggled and manoeuvred and brought forth a second terrified creature. Mr. Finer expressed his appreciation and admiration and there were congratulations all around, but he was wary this time. He listened attentively, then was sure of it. There was “something” under the dashboard. The third raccoon was more difficult to catch. It had found its way up through the maze of wires, and it had more room to move around now that the other two were gone. All in all it took two and one half hours to remove three raccoons from Mr. Finer’s car. This sort of thing happens every year a- round this time, Mr. Ryan reports. It has even happened. to him. The only sure way to avoid it is to see that the windows of your vehicle are closed at night. llllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\l\\\l\lllll\lll\l|\ll ‘ l i w Ian's.

Vaughan Fire men used tarpaul'ms to protect store goods from water damage and swept out the water. Horses Die, Home And Cars Damaged‘jf Firemen fought their way into the basement and were satis- fied they had the fire complete-1 ly out in half an hour. Fire damage was confined al- most completely to the south end of the basement. Electric wiring was bubbled and charred in the heat. The blaze appear- ed to have centred in some family belongings stored under the stairs. A new bed, still in its wrappings, was destroyed. Heat and smoke streaks marred the upstairs walls of the kitchen and living room. Fire Chief Stong said the fire may have been caused by sponâ€" taneous combustion. In such a case, the family was very for- tunate the fire took place after they had awakened, and not while they were asleep. ‘mum\mmnmmmmlmum“lum\muumntummummum1mm\muumu1mmmunummuuu\\\uumuumummu\ulmu11uttxmm‘x\\“uml\1u\«mun1ulmuxumulumuumuummmlI\u\uuuuuumuuulmunmIuuuuuu\\muummuummumuuuuumu.
