NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING Township Reeve John Dryden said in an interview today the new municipal building, costing $71,500 and located just south of the present building, is expect- ed to be completed by July 1. He said that had this loan not be of national concern. But if it is a matter of pro- fessional freedom and in- tegrity then it should be a matter for the public because the CBC is a public medium of communication."

It would solve all the problems." Abe Taylor, pres- ident Local 222, UAW: "The program sure should be a matter of national concern. There appears to be an in- ternal problem. The program is educational. I think that when somebody doing a good job suddenly finds himself in an awkward position, like Watson and LaPierre, then there should be an_ investi- watch it and I don't intend to. It's of no interest to me. There are too many other im- portant things to attend to. We have too many investiga- tions for my liking. I'm sick and tired of investigations." George L.

Donald, city alderman and lawyer: "It's a matter of national concern because newspapers say so. But I don't think that Watson and LaPierre should be fired. The program, in my mind, was always interest- ing, although from time to time its quality was poor. The CBC has to operate in a proper fashion." Terence V. Commerce: "It's a very sen- sational program. I've enjoy- ed it very much and think more of that type of thing should be done on television. The CBC is the CBC and it has got to manage. If they don't like what they see, they have got to have some say.

Instead, a sidewalk will be built on Olive ave., where there are no side- walks and heavier traffic vol- umes. The Olive walk will be used by the same students who use Elmridge ave.
