2â€" THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill. Ontario, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1974 Mayor William Lazenby is sticking to business until nomination day “With some declared candidates getting geared up for the coming municipal elections. I thought it ap- propriate to remark on some queries which are being received by my office, by my supporters, and by me personally." incumbent candidate for Richmond Hill mayor William Lazenby said this week. “I think it should be realized that the office of the mayor is not a 9 to 5 job or a five day week. Most days, weekends included, I am lucky to get to bed by 1:30 am and fortunate to be in bed after 7:30 am. Many evening meetings and social functions give me minimal time with my wife and family. My children, like myself, are very involved with community life and I do my best-to support them by attending their functions. Tuesday morning hockey practices at 7 am are a must with son Bill since I’m only able to attend about 50 percent of his games. My daughter Christine's recent hospitalization and home convalescense, due to a serious fall. has been an added burden to my wife Evelyn‘s workload at home. “Whether most citizens realize it or not. a chief magistrate's wife has a multiple role of not only being first lady of this community and goodwill ambassador for her husband’s office, as well as being his wife and mother of his children, she also has to act as the secretary, counsellor, and receptionist at his residence. This leaves little time for a normal family life. It is therefore incumbent on both of us to pack as much participation and family activity into the short periods of time granted to us as we posssibly can. Demands on time “The Town of Richmond Hill is an approximately $7,000,000 business requiring full attendance and con- sultations with the responsible board of directors most of the time. The business coming before your council can be of a major nature or a minor situation. Still each has to be treated with the same amount of responsibility and background in- formation in order that your elected representatives can make their decision in- dividually, in each of their own minds, to arrive at a majority decision which will be of benefit to the total municipality. without ad- versely effecting the in dividual residents. “Much business has transpired in this last term of office and to some inâ€" dividuals and groups the decisions have not been to their liking. This in their mind mades the business in hand an issue. “Therefore, issues to certain groups are received by others as normal decisions of their elected representatives. Timetocampaign “To campaign and debate the so called issues ‘prior to the nomination deadline, to me would be an abrogation of my respon» sibility to this municipality. I am paid by you the tax- payers to represent this community as chief executive in the chair» manship of our council. I am to participate where possible in committee meetings. to represent you on the Richmond Hill Library Board, to represent you on the Richmond Hill Hydro Commission. to represent the Vaughan Township Hydro Commission. to represent you on the York (‘entral Hospital Board. and to represent you regionally on the various boards and agencies which I have outlined in an article which appears elsewhere in this issue of this newspaper. “My wife and I also represent you socially at many local functions. with November and December probably being the most heavily scheduled.

The worshipful master master. on behalf of the lodge. received a gift of new regalia and a set of movable jewels donated by members of the lodge. These were dedicated by the grand chaplain. The grand master then. with the help of five past masters of Richmond 23 GRC. invested the wor- shipful master and officers with their respective collars and jewels of office. Worshipful Master Thomson presented Most Worshipful Brother Turner with a life membership in Richmond on behalf of the members of the lodge. The brethren then retired to the Prince Philip room of the Legion Hall where the ceremonies were held. A delicious banquet was served. Ray Gemmill proposed a toast to the grand master and the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario, and such that would uphold to the fullest .il‘: principles of the order. He made partitul-iz' reference to the Cotitl‘llitltl”7‘il of Fred Graham, a Illi iribcr of the lodge for 62 years and a past master of 51 years. Harry Sayers. on behalf of the officers and members. presented a gift to Turner to mark his presence on this auspicious occasion. Haroid lnce then toasted also represent the municipality outside its boundaries at functions which you would expect we should attend to publicize the participation of this municipality and make its representation with our neighboring associated administrations and other levels of government. Majority rules “For these reasons I have been unable, and do not make myself available. to participate in discussions on the "issues" which will have ample time for discussion just prior to the election when, in my opinion. the citizens of this municipality will be responsive to such. I would hope I would have the blessings of this community that once nominations are in, I may be relieved of some of my heavier responsibilities. in order properly campaign to continue in the office with which you have honored me for the last five years. the guests and Arthur Bagg. the WM of Bedford Lodge 638 GRC.

They too have realized no in- dividual or group can expect that their views are either the correct views or are acceptable to the majority of the people. It is due to this type of support that I con- tinue to campaign to serve and represent the people and the Town of Richmond Hill. “Gearing up for this election, however. my supporters are actively working behind the scenes in the preparation of brochures, signs, and a publicity campaign to reiterate to you, the citizens. my involvement over the past 17 years in your community. 15 of these years were in liaison with the municipality‘s adâ€" ministration, and 11 years as part of the executive body governing your town. To this end they have established campaign headquarters at 10,261 Yonge Street in the former Legion Court Building. I understand they have placed a notice in this week's edition of “The Liberal" and I would ask you call them at the num- bers advertised, or drop into offer your support and assistance. “To finish, if at any time any citizen wishes to ap- proach me or council in our policied manner, this can be done before a regular meeting of council. However, for the number of years I have been in my professional business my home number has always been advertised for emergency situations. Since I have been a politician my pharmacy telephone number 884-4444, my home number 884-4463, and my office number in the municipal building 884-8101, local 37, have been publicized.
