Feelings high Feelings ran high among supporters for both sides. The Liberal, which was often accused of being pro» Lazenby during the cam- paign, ran into just the opposite criticism. This reporter and a photographer dropped into Lazenby’s campaign headquarters shortly after the first results had come in. Besides lamenting the alleged lack of publicity, some of the more vocal followers also charged The Liberal with misquoting the mayor. “'No comment,” was Lazenby's reply when asked if he agreed with the charge. Unfair to Schiller The more ardent Schiller supporters were less hostile, but just as convinced they, too. had been given short shrift in the campaign coverage. “Point your camera and get the hell out,” said the mayor, attempting a smile from the background. "Vil'wiu b2: the only publicity we’ve had yet,” came another voice. Hancey reâ€"elected Lois Hancey, who was re- elected regional councillor, watched the results from the town hall. The totals were projected on several MAI Basic Four computers as soon as they came in. Although the critics at Schiller‘s campaign headquarters were in the minority, the consensus among them was that any and all news coverage had been “prejudice ” in favor of the mayor. Now oné knows what a tennis ball feels like during a game. Said a weil wisher to Mrs. Hancey as early returns “Good fight? No way," said the mayor. “Three terms against two months (campaign)? No way.” His only other comment was that he would now have more time to spend with his family. Schiller wins easily Freshly in herself, incumbent Mayor Margaret Britnell congratulates Ward 2 winner Dr. David Harper who emerged the victor in a two-way fight with Risdon Atkinson for the Sheardown vacated ward. Harper won by 698 votes to 449. The scene is the township municipal offices. Adding his solemn but hearty congratulations to Margaret Britnell on her win is pipe-smoking Jack Van Luyk (left) who had no reason to be solemn in the council chambers of King Township municipal offices Monday night. Jack was unopposed in his Ward 6 Holland Marsh riding. (continued from page 1) The Liberal is The Liberai is published each week by Metrospan Publishing Limited.

The town hall office received its first call for results nine minutes after the polls closed. when a woman phoned wanting to know who had won.

The kids will be glad to see their father around the house more." Stephenson said he felt one of his mistakes had been he hadn’t assessed citizens’ groups as a political movement. When asked her opinion of citizens‘ groups or “pressure groups," as her questioner termed them, winner Graham said: “Pressure groups are in- terested, concerned people. Council has to weigh their input."

The fire broke out in a pile of foam chips used for land mats in physical training classes. King Township’s Doug Brookes proved in Monday night’s election he could sell himself as well as milk to his Ward 5 constituents. Brookes, proprietor of the Kettleby Milk Store, soundly trounced incumbent Ben Rough by 300 to 147 votes and made it look rather easy. Was he surprised? “I’m very pleased to win but I couldn‘t say I was that surprised. I’m in touch with a lot of people in Kettleby, they know me well.

Fine showing She complimented Sheardown on his fine showing, adding that “I felt all the time it would be a good fight. Mr. Sheardown’s absence will definitely be felt at the ward level and in the township as a whole." Mayor Britnell thought it was a rather “subdued election because there weren't any real issues.

Officials in Vaughan were surprised the turn-out to the municipal election Monday was so good, despite the weather. Approximately 38 percent of the voters made their way to the polls â€" down one percent from the‘ last election. This is considered a high voter representation in many municipalities. The race for the five councillor-at-large seats was at times heated. But there was no race for the mayoralty or the regional council position as both Garnet Williams and Dave Fraser were acclaimed. At press time, Markham officials had not calculated their voter turnâ€"out. Ward 2 Councillor-elect Stan Daurio said his figures indicate a relatively high percentage for that area â€" 35 percent as compared with 27 last time. However in Ward 1, defeated candidate Maurice Sanders said late Monday there were probably fewer voters this time than last, despite an increase in population approaching Even though the final count put Moran ahead by 15 votes, the fight is not over yet. The race for the second region council seat in Markham was a cliff- hanger, up-and-down battle between the two east- Markham candidates Ron Moran and Alma Walker. Walker’s campaign manager George Vigas said last night they would definitely call for a recount. Apparently the $100 it costs to call for a recount will put Walker over her $1,500 budget.

Both live on the outskirts of Nobleton. She concluded by saying “council has done a good job and we hope to do even a better one with the help of the new members." Heavy vote The voting in King was slightly less than the previous election with preliminary figures showing, 44.25 percent turning out in poor weather conditions compared to 45.8 in 1972. Of the 9,429 voters eligible, 4,173 signed their ception of Mr. Van Luyk.” ‘ same on DRY CLEANING YONGE & LEVENDALE RXCKMOND HILL CLEANING CENTRES Just to be on the safe side, a hat was passed to collect the $100 he would need to call a recount. In her home in the south of the old town of Markham, Alma Walker was the leading voice of caution. She was not about to celebrate her apparent victory too soon. However Ron Moran in Dickson‘s Hill, appeared confident and the figures gathered by his supporters showed he would indeed have a narrow victory. Each candidate had a large band of supporters in their homes to wait for the results, and parties lasted into the early hours of Tuesday. When interviewed at 2 am Tuesday, Adams appeared tired but happy with his victory. He said it is significant that in every ward he had residents of the ward canvassing for him. His appeal was not only to Thornhill residents, where he lives. In fact, he said, Unionville was like a second home to him during the campaign. After getting off to a slow start Monday, incumbent Adams swept into office with 5,332 votes to Moran’s 4,186, Walker’s 4,171 and Muldrew’s 3,480.

Adams was surprised at the strength shown by Walker in Moran’s Ward 6. “Ron has done a hell-of-a-lot for the people in the ward,” he said. NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHERS _ In the Estate of Paul Lowell Fox. But despite her relatively modest budget and feeble effort in the battle of the signs between Moran, Roy Muldrew and Regional Councillor-elect Bob Adams, Walker provided the major surprise in the Markham elections. Moran phoned Adams at approximately 2 am and they talked about Moran’s chances. Adams said he would like to see Moran as region councillor. Adams was upset that the weather might have discouraged voters and said “it is about time the “I was surprised at winning," said Dr. Harper who operates a dentistry office, “I didn’t campaign as hard as Mr. Atkinson, but then I didn’t have the time he had." Harper also plans on working hard for his con- stituents with his main aim being to “Make sure we control development in the township which, I suppose, is the aim of most of the candidates.” Dr. Harper has been a King resident for 13 years, has served three terms on the separate school board, and intends to be “a strong representative of Ward 2." x‘s to the ballot Totals Advanced Poll 77 Following is the voting results by wards: Ward 1 DATED at Richmond Hill, this 14th day of November, 1974 Robert H.

Lorna Jackson of Pinegrove polled the second highest number of votes and rolled up 238 more than her closest rival, Ab Hollingshead. Topfiing the polls was her running-mate, Jim Cameron, with 2,678 votes. Jackson received 2,519, Hollingshead, 2.281, Fred Armstrong, 2,101, and Terry Goodwin, 1,624. His wife said Monday he will not apply for a recount. however. Bumped off council was Milt Savage, with only 13 votes less than Goodwin. Savage was appointed to council at mid-term when a member of council left the municipality. The dairy farmer from Bathurst Street had run in the previous election. but missed out by five votes. His request, at that time, for a judicial recount was not allowed because he apparently had no evidence of possible errors in the tabulation of votes.

Poot, who made a poor showing as soon as results started coming in to the Vaughan town offices, was confident and cheerful throughout the evening. Hollingshead, a Wood~ bridge-area mens’ clothing store owner, was expected by many to top the polls. As he slipped to third position he said “I’m not exactly jubilant" but he was satisfied his position on council was secure. Jackson, a community activist, freelance weekly newspaper correspondent and housewife, arrived at the Maple offices when her second-place position was virtually assurred. Angelo Giancola was quiet as he watched the results go up on an overhead projector in the council chambers. Smiling broadly, she said she was pleased with the results and attributed her success to the number of workers and supporters she had across the whole of Vaughan.
