Mrs. K. Clmp‘oll, hook-keep- er. of Ellis Avenue: "I am not in favour. I think we are just as well without them. More and more we are getting away from the real meaning of Sunday. Television keeps people away from' church enough without movies being added. I like to maintain the true spirit of the Sabbath." Dave Cross, Weston Collegiate student. of 21t' William Street: "Yes, I am in favour of Sunday movies in town. We students only have week-ends to go out and we want to be able to do it on Sundays " well as Satur- days. Movies on Sundays at the Biltmore in Weston would give in extra opportunity." Min Joan Roberts, business school student, of Dalbeattie Avenue: "Yes, lure, why not? I work _ part-time at another theatre _where they have movies on Sundays and I think they should have them in the Weston theatre. I am all in favour of on Sundays should have theatre.

Min Sandy Minn, Weston Collegiate student, of Church Street: "Yes, certainly. There is nothing wrong with showing movies on Sunday.

Lug Mun-haw, parking than» dam. of Hillcrest Rand: "Yes, I am in favour. A lot of people have nothing else to do on Sun. days and would like to go out to the movies. I an: a life-long resident of Weston and would welcome movies on Sunday " the Biltmore." Miss mini washer, twist, of m Dixon Road: "Yes. There is never much to do on Sundays and movies would be 1 big help. If they had movies on Sunday in Weston I would often be go- mg." Harry Cooper. tarrier at 1978 Weston Road: "t 1m in favour, yes. People have very little to do on Sundlys and going to the movies is a good past-time. People who clunot go out on weekdays should have the chance to so on Sundays. If they have sports on Sundays, why not ttttMes.'", _ V The question uked of Weston citizens up And down the main street was: "Are you in favour of Sunday movies in Weston?" Eight out at ten said they were. Km Johns, tailor " 4 John Street: "Yes, very much in favour. I teach Sunday school in the mornings and like to go to the movies in the afternoon. I like to see other people go too. There is no harm in it at all and we should have the or portunity here in Weston." As a sample of Weston public opinion on the Sunday movies question, our reporter conducted a quick poll in town this week. Sunday Movies? Weston People Have Their Say eil, Public Utilities Commission and Board of Education, they will Ilsa be asked to vote Yes or No on whether they as in favour of Sunday movies in this town. The question which will be submitted to voters on election dry is this: "Are you in favour of moving pictures after t:M o'eloek in the afternoon of the Lord's Day to be regulated by Municipal By-law under the au- thority of the Lord's Day (Om When the people of Weston u to the poll: on Monday to v_o_te ftCthelr, next Mayor, Coun- Dec. 7 Ballot Will Include Yes th No On Sunday Movies FUTURE OF WESTON IN VOTERS’ Wis movies," Biathlon do nothing movies in I man won " his wi M)flllllllNrlllr0lhlll "r'llllMllESbulutvllllMYr'llliStllllulRt f ling but rest. l! u in Weston or would find him barber at m have n think , business Dalbeattie why not? 1 another we movies n not have week . rest. and ad his getting It " in If Better lighting Needed To Boost Weston Business "If the business area of Wes- ton is to continue to thrive then I feel that it is imperative that the town, the utility and, most important, every individual mer- chant do everything possible to improve the attractiveness of our business district in order to not only hold our present cus- tomers but to attract new ones" Mr. Foy said. "Lighting, both display and decorative, is the best tool avail- Ible' to accomplish this," he ad- ded. “Let us make the best pos- sible use of it." According to Mr. H. J. Foy, in an address to the Weston Busin- essmen’s Association on Tuesday night, the proper use of street lighting is of prime importance for the future prosperity of the Weston business district. Odeon Theatres In: cinemas located in every municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The Bil- tmore " 1831 Weston is the only Odeon movie theatre closed on Sundays. At that meeting last July Mayor Bull and the six Couueir lors had no objection to inehr ding the question on the Decern. ber 7 ballot and leaving its ul. timate Yea or Nay to the me payers of Weston. They were all in agreement that the Biltmore is an asset to the town and that no advantage Is gained by it being kept dark on Sundays. Mr. Warner informed Court. cil that Odeon Theatres (Can- ada) Limited acquired Weston's only cinema in November of 1963 and have spent more than $20,000 in bringing it up to rtrst- run standards. Further renova- tions are planned, but the com- pany feels it must be allowed to expand the schedule of its local property to seven days a week. V "vs., HOWARD c.
