A number of points were talked over between Mayor Seattlve and this reporter, some for publication now and some tor release later. Something that we probably tshuuldn't Pass on to anyone but just the same is rather clever, is the mayor's story about the young boy in Sunday School who was asked what a nicheJn a church was. He answered that I niche in ' church was the same " an itch anyplace else but you cuuldn't scratch it. But now down to busineu. -__- We led off our intervievlhy asking the mayor WHAT ls J9r'c PENING WITH REGARD TO THE DRIVE-1N THEATRE THAT WAS ONCE PROPOSED FOR THE SOUTH END " TOWN? His answer to this pertinent question was of such importance, in our opinion at least, that a front page story “as produced. For details of the drive-in, see page one of this issue. Wasn't much to talk about there, but betuve getting off on an- other subject His Worship asked us to plug for the blood donor clinic that is to be held in Weston next Wednesday, oct. l. The mayor pointed out that this blood donor clinic has a direct bearing on the civil defence work that is being done in this area and that a blood bank is one of its most vital cogs. He urged that every citizen Volun- teer to donate blood if it is at all possible and pointed out that by holding the clinic on Wednesday it would be possible for: businessmen to take advantage of their holiday to give blood. Realizing that putting the story of the 1ivivu-in on page one meant a shorter column here, we racked our brains for another question that wguld help fill space randy sign}, ttitil 'Lqet?rst_iyt_sotytAiryr, like ling, ARE ANY FURTHER STEPS BEING TAKEN To REPLACE THE CHIEF OF POLICE'. He reported that the Police Committee, under its chairman, Jack Petrie, had this matter under active consideration and that a decision could be expected in the near future. This naturally led into the Victorian Order of Nurses and their present campaign for funds. The mayor g honorary chairman of the campaign, the dates of which are Septg to 27. All persons taking part in the financial drive are volunteers and the least the citizens can d, is give them a hearing whey: they call at their doors. The objective is $5,000 and the money is needed to aid in the grant work these hard working nurses are doing locally. _ DONE TO ENSURE THAT NO MORE SUCH STREET FIGHTS BREAK OUT? First of all he poo-pooed the idea of local gangs operating in Weston (a fact that we had already verified by talking to police, church and recreation officials here). The mayor said that extra precautions had been taken and each evening extra patrolmen are on duty and that over last weekend two men wore cruising in vehicles and two men were on duty on foot on Main Street to keep any groups from congregating.

MAYOR, THAT WORK WILL SOON COMMENCE TO ENLARGE THE FACILITIES AT THE WORKS DEPT. BUILDING? Yes. The work of putting on a partial second storey will soon commence, with work being done by the department. Tenders for material are out at present. Transportation matters next came to mind and we asked ARE YorrsirhiiFiiib" 1"viiiriHEYREsENT OlrEflATlt)NS OF THE TTC TROLLEY BUS AND THE SERVICE GIVEN? . The mayor, it appears, has received some complaints about the way things are going on in the trolley buses and certain matters will have to be ironed out. Overcrowding and scheduling are two bones of contention and His Worship asks that any persons having any further ('mlw for complaint to let him know as soon as possible. A meeting with Toronto Trans- portation officials is scheduled before too long.
