What makes Saunders seek out a Several events in the past have led him to a life of politics. And several things in the past few weeks have led to his acceptance of the Progressive _ Conservative nomination as candidate for York South. Doug was first elected to public office as councillor for York Townâ€" ship in 1965 â€" the youngest to ever be elected to office â€" but he dates his interest in politics back to a day in school when he was just 15. political career? ‘‘The teacher had asked the class who was the representative for the board of education from ward 1. Several kids made a stab at the answer before the teacher turned to me and said, ‘tell them Saunders.‘ I rose proudly and said ‘Walt Saunders‘ and from that moment on I decided that I wanted some sort of political career." Walter Saunders, Doug‘s uncle, was quite active in the community and served in several capacities. His little nephew â€" from the time he was 12 â€" helped in many of his election campaigns. Doug is a past president of the York Lions Club â€" with a perfect attendance record since joining the club some 15 years ago â€" and he looks to his present position of controller as an extension of service to the community that he used to do on a volunteer basis with the Lions. Only now, he carries out the work on a professional level as an elected member of council. He finds himself fortunate to be able to be paid for the things he likes to do best. ‘"I want to serve the people of the community," he exâ€" plains. That‘s why I‘m a member of council and that‘s why I‘m seeking a seat in the legislature." Asked to run "I turned down premier Bill Davis earlier this year when he asked me to run in sq. yd yd 7142â€" 1023 What yd yd. York South," said Doug. "I was happy serving on York Council and keeping a personal contact with people at this level. "I am a past president of the York P.C. Association and an elderly lady member helped make up my mind for me. ‘‘She told me that every member of the association must do the thing that they can do best in the coming election. ‘I‘m pretty good at addressing envelopes and answering phones,‘ she said. ‘Others are good canvassers, managers, sign erectors, but there‘s a special person and that is the candidate. If I‘m going to accept my responsibility,‘ she conâ€" tinued, ‘then you must assume yours as the canâ€" didate.‘ But there is another reason. The biggest p:&blam York has can only be solved by legislature. Mr. Saunders has aspirations of someday becoming mayor of York but feels that might pass him by. makes Saunders run â€" answer is complex "I think that‘s what sold me on the idea that I should seek the seat for York South." Maybe no York Doug explains. "We‘re living in a time when people are blocking new developâ€" ment and yet York â€" unless it keeps up with other municipalities in Metropolitan Toronto with new development â€" will see a continual raise in taxes to climb above the average within Metro. If that hapâ€" pens, the people of York will get their backs up and insist that this borough be amalgamated with Toronto or North York." Mr. Saunders believes he has an answer other than new assessment and that is to start planning and developing on a metropolitan rather than concentrating on a local scale. We need more accent on an overall plan and less on a local plan," he explains, "and, coupled with Costs of running municipalities _ increase about 8 per cent per year and most are able to keep up with the increase through new assessments. In York the increase in assessments is only about 2 per cent per year and Doug doesn‘t believe that it can continue to operate on this basis for too many years. THE MAN FOR ONTARIO â€"and YORK SOUTH Donald MacDonald is one of the ablest and most respected members of the Ontario Legislature. He has served us well at Queen‘s Park. Even more, he has been an active citizen in the community of York South, working with its people to solve their problems and meet their needs. Let‘s keep him on the job for another four years â€" for our own benefit, as well as that of all Ontario. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING TO THE POLL, CALL THE NDP COMMITTEE ROOM, 2633 EGLINGTON AVE. W., TEL: 654â€"3151 VOTE MacDONALD Donald C. MacDonald, regardless of politics, is the calibre of man who makes a lasting contribution to the institution of government in a democracy ... In addition to MacDonald‘s proven ability as a political party chief, organizer and successful campaigner in provincial elections, he has also been, and still is, the trusted and respected member of the Legislature for this riding of York South. â€" Weston Times equalization of taxes. w ith c o m m ercial assessment and equalize these across Metro because York‘s future is as a dorâ€" mitory type of municipality where its citizens work in the factories of North York and the offices of downtown Toronto. ‘"We are a contributor to commerce in Metropolitan Toronto yet we‘re not getting any of the business taxes or commercial â€" assessments." These arguments were brought up before York Council by the Controller some eight months ago and the treasurer has been in touch with the department of municipal affairs. The province of Ontario is looking into the situation to see if it can be applied to Metro. Apparently it works quite well in London, England. ‘‘I don‘t think it completely necessary that a community be a viable unit as far as an assessment basis is conâ€" cerned. It should depend largely on the contribution to the rest of the Metropolitan area. We‘re making our contribution and we should get some credit for the commerce we‘re generating. That would level off our taxes and keep us as a viable unit. "If we can accomplish this, Mr. Saunders conâ€" tinued, "Then I think York‘s future is secured and then, maybe, someday I can come back and be mayor." Low cost start Doug‘s first election campaign was a low budget affair â€" some $200. â€" that saw him, his family and friends in the community get together to hand paint his 50 election signs. His literature was a mimeographed letter distributed doorâ€"toâ€"door by youngsters in the neighâ€" borhood. His opposition erected some 2,000 signs throughout the township but Doug came out with a 21 majority over Vincent Gentile. . His second campaign was a little more professional. There were 100 signs made up by a sign painter but other than that, his campaigning remained pretty much the same â€" door knocking and main streeting. He defeated Tony Greco with a 3â€"1 plurality. Donald C. MacDonald NDP Candidate October 21 His run for controller contained all the elements of his first campaigns only on a much larger scale. Signs were more plentiful and Doug personally called on 10,000 doors as he strived to make personal contact with the voters. He is using the same approach during his present provincial campaign and hopes to knock on every door in York before election day. 400 south Before we can get into print Bill Davis will have made some announcement on alternate plans for the defunct S padina Expressway but Doug Saunders has been adâ€" vocating his routing for the much needed southbound expressway for some time. His plan is to take the 400 down to Eglinton and Keele â€" much of it is complete now or can be completed with little expropriation except for a couple of cloverâ€"leafs from its abrupt end and Jane and 401 â€" then raise in on stilts over the CP â€" CN rightâ€" ofâ€"way all the way to the Gardiner. The main objections to the Spadina â€" division of comâ€" munities and the _ noiseâ€" pollution factor in residential areas â€" are eliminated. "The railways run through inâ€" dustrial regions,‘" says Doug, "and the extension above Eglinton â€" on land Doug Saunders owned by the government or controlled by the Metropolitan Toronto Conservation Authority â€" would run through a natural valley much the same as the Don Valley Parkway." An added advantage of a stilted roadway is that it could support a monorail system for rapid transit, ‘‘This is the type of answer I would like to see," said the controller, ‘"and I put a resolution before York Council requesting that the Metropolitan Toronto Transportation Commission consider these extension plans. "This would also stimulate our Mount Dennis area. There could be a motor hotel operation on Eglinton south of the Kodak plant on the G.M. Guest Company property. That, coupled withe plans for the golf course on Eglinton Flats could revitalize Mount Dennis and turn it into a high density residential area. The 400 extension would be good for all of York." on York Council. Among these are the aquisition of land for parks within the community, the provision of sidewalk snow plowing â€" to commence on a regular basis this season â€" and the joint use of schools and parks. Mr. Saunders likes to talk of the pet projects he has worked for during his stint Since joining council Mr. Saunders has seen the borough take on three York may publicize demands locations for park sites. One of these, Hopewell, is now a matterâ€"ofâ€"fact. The removal of snow, following last year‘s successful trial, will be a boon to all residents, especially older citizens, and the cost is less than $1.00 per homeowner per year â€" less than the cost of hiring someone to do it for you after each snow storm. _ Joint use Doug Saunders feels that York has set an example with Arlington Avenue School. ‘"In developing school sites," says Doug, "‘the School Boards used to buy a block of homes, tear them down then build their traditional school with its traditional asphaltâ€"paved play area and surrounded the thing with a traditional steel fence. Publicizing local firefighter‘s wage demands and their impact on the mill rate is a practice that borough of York will conâ€" sider during their future wage contract negotiations with the firefighters. At present, the borough conducts negotiations with the firefighters in private discussions not open to the public or the press. Last week Board of Control decided to accept recommendations from the Ontario Municipal Personnel Association calling for this publicity and also asking consideration for _ the practise of trying to settle for a one year agreement with the firefighters to "allow further study of our mutal problems". On the Arlington school site on the side of Cedarvale Park I was insistant on the use of the park by the school. The Board of Education bought six homes, razed them and built their school with _ Cedarvale _ Park becoming the playground for the school. I believe more York Board of Control postponed deciding on a recommendation from the Bylaw review committee allowing sale of ice cream from bicycles "operated by muscular power only". A fuurther suggestion from the OMPA that provincial legislation enâ€" titled "An Act to Provide Collective Bargaining for Crown +Employees‘" be considered "desirable and appropriate" in future If approved, this means the local ice cream vendor is a physical fitness nut, or too poor to afford a motor operated bicycle to power his ice cream wares around the neighbourhood he will be allowed to sell in the borough.

This communication from the OMPA was brought to the Board‘s attention at the request of Alderman Peter Bosa. Mr. Bosa complained at a council meeting last month that the OMPA letter, dated May 19, 1971, had been received by the borough several months before and had not been brought forâ€" ward for consideration and discussion.
