ferrn as haltoris member of parliament on mon day the election was in doubt right up to the tally of tlie last few polls the liberal candidate pressing close ly all the way a surprise in hal ton as it was in the other parts of ontario was the upsurge of the c c f party in halton the c c f man polled 500 votes more than in 1 945 while the conservatives lost 900 and the liberals held their own with a small gain of 50 most surprising feature of the election was the personal defeat of premier drew in his own toronto- high parle riding the c c f which becomes the offi cial opposition in the house won i i of the i 7 scats in the toronto metropolitan area while the government will still have an overall majority in the new parlia ment there will be a much more effective opposition in the ccf which has almost three times their numbers of last year in a speech broadcast over the cbc mon day evening premier drew warned that the commu nist influence was seeping into the proyince and while lie did not name c cfers as communists he said they were dependent on communists for support and were a danger in a democracy it may be a fortunate thing tmat some of these people were elected to the legislature where their statements will face the restraint of respon- aifailitv he concluded the building bylaw controversy the battle of the building bylaw is a main is sue on the municipal politics horizon these days coun cil after passing the bylaw unanimously seemed to have individual doubts for awhile but dissenting coun cillors never got to the point of tabling any motions and cr goodlet ended a lengthy roundtable talk at the may 31st meeting by remarking that unless a coun cillor was prepared to submit a motion for amendment or repeal the issue should be closed an examination of the bylaw itself fails to show that it is unduly restrictive the only conten tious point might be the raising of the minimum value from 3000 to 5000 for a house built in ward 3 which was included because of representations made by rate payers in that ward through one of their council repre sentatives cr goodlet if the great majority of rate payers in any area favour a certain measure and this does not unduly interfere with the rights of other citi zens then we can see no harm in granting their re quests a careful examination of the facts of the con troversy downtown would indicate that clr whitmee is the only council member who stood foi a correct in terpretation of the by law as it pertains to fire control in the business district certain clauses relating to fire- proofing new buildings were put in the bylaw for a specific purpose and the fact is that a building now iiilder construction fails to meet these requirements however council in view of extenuating circumstan ces which existed has allowed mr cordaro to continue with the building and this too should be a closed issue it is too bad that the controversy should result in a personal feudjetweerrmrund mrs cordaro and cr whitmee it is a councillors duty to speak up for what he believes in and let the majority opinion rule in this case cr whitmee stated his beliefs and a mo tion was passed with his the only dissenting vote this is not an unusual procedure at all in council for cer tainly it would be inconsistent for a man tq uphold one aide of an argument then vote with the opposition unless he had been convinced that he was wrong statements were made by mrs cordaro after the mo tion was passed which might better have been left un said c whitmee was only human in replying to these when he got a chance at the may 31st meeting both parties spoke in anger and we had hoped that this would be the end of the matter but this week a letter appears in this newspaper sent both to council and to the press the sentiments expressed about the buil ding bylaw are in order for it is any citizens privilege to discuss municipal policies publicly and the columns of this paper are always open for that personalities are another matter and ordinarily we should not print portions of this letter bu in view f th riwii 1 t ah frtah raimess to cr whitmee we will allow him the same privilege but it ia not this papers policy to publicize private feuds and after this the mat ter will be a cl d issue aa far aa we are concerned a threeschool area we arc hoping to have good news to report next week abobt the outcome of meeting tonight be- twmn the north halton high school area board rep- nmxp4 fif jc yaxioim miinirinalitica which it in cludes and members of the school board and councils of georgetown which has been a holdout in any area plans to scrap existing schools if a plan can be worked out whereby milton acton and georgetown will each have a high school with one of each specializing m commercial shop work and agriculture then a sensible solution will lie arrived at and georgetown will have justified her stind in the matter in the future our neighbouring towns will thank georgetown for saving their schools and we can foresee good resulfs to ill con- cerned when u 3school area takes shape it should be clearly urittcrstpodthat we in georgetown would not lobk dn the 3school idea as a temporary measure if we arc any judgu of public- opinion the majority still oppose closing the school here dnder any circ u instan ces- there biiqu id tc no closing ofany of tjie three scbochtf witlitjut a vote of ratepayers in the municipal ity effect i pofpourrj another of those weeks the herald occasionally kuns into happened last week with too much material for a 10page papcrurid not enough for the 12 pages which have been more the rule than the exception ate- ly the several items held over are included in this edi tion the advertising benefits of the liberal rally last wednesday were limited to word of mouth as the news report of the meeting appears after the el ection like other people the editor likes to make the most of his time and a two hour meeting must produce some copy to make it worthwhile so the report ap pears for what it is worth approval of the pro ject is being expressed by the buying of tickets for the lions club lucky draw funds from which will be used to erect a bandshell in the park and ticket sales are brisk nostalgia is the theme of most musi cal entertainment on the radio these days with hit songs harking back to the early 30s the latest little white lies was one of the songs with which rudy vallee and his connecticut yankees wowed em in those days the songs from good news including the popular best things in life are free have retained their freshness for an even longer period and they recall the stage ver sion which was the first stage show we evpr saw dor othy mcnulty now penny singleton the radio and movies blondie was one of the stars and was
