"eo-mat-to---"-"..-","" The decision of Councillor Robert Wood to run for Mayor, December 3 puts us and, no doubt, a great many voters, m a quandry.' Both Wood and Mayor Bull are good men, and have shown their worth to the town by their service on Council. The inevitable loss of one of these men to the town council is a discouraging thought. Mayor Bull is a quiet politician with a strong voice both on local council and in Metro. He is a politician with finesse and a man who gives credit where credit is due. He is not a man to argue at length with for when he says something it is with thought and deliberation. and is us- ually 'hitting the nail on the head talk.' Councillor Wood is a man of action who believes in stressing his point. Right or wrong he will search for an answer, but when he is wrong he will readily ad- mit it. Couneillor Wood is a man who chooses a particular job and sees it through to the end, with both action and words. Both are leaders. It will be unfortun- ate to lose one or the other. Whichever man is counted out on the ballot should be retained in public service in some ad- visory capacity. As for the slate of candidates for the Council's six seats, we have only the nomination speeches of the candidates from which to judge, in choosing among the four newcomers. Because of the records of the four in- cumbents in the race, and of the noriiina- tion speeches of the remaining four nom- inees, The Times would choose the fol- lowing men for Council. C. W. Boddington (Councillor): L. G. Sainsbury (Councillor); A. A. Steven- son; W. R. Perry (Councillor): Lindsay Cott (Councillor): and C. W. Caskey. We are not satisfied with remarks made by the other two candidates, Mr. MacPherson and Mr. Hodges. MacPherson advocated free parking, including the John St. lot. We do not be- lieve this is an answer at all to the "str-lr- ing problem in Weston. and we feel a The voters of Weston will be asked three questions on the election ballots, December 3. _ _ Voters will be asked "Are you in fav- our of the fluoridation of the public water supply of this municipality?: Are you in favour of moving pictures after 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon of the Lord's Day to be regulated by Munici- pal By-law under the authority of the Lord's Day (Ontario) Act. 1960-1961?: "and you will he asked whether or not Council should Rive the third and final reading to a fly-law to repeal By-law 1328, granting the Weston Silver Band an annual grant of one quarter of a mill of the tax mnney.

As many know the parkland by the Humber is not the property of nor the responsibility of the town but of the Met- ropolitan Conservation Authority. Wes- ton can only suggest improvements to the MTRCA and the cost of such im- provements is not ours, as Mr. Hodges thinks, but of Metro. Our views, however. are certainly not to be misconstrued as infallible. We admit our evidence used as a basis of picking a Council is not solid enough to allow us to recommend everyone follow it but it is a little more than the average voter will have to go on by the time he casts his ballot. We also believe the onlv course a man on Council in a municipality such as Wes- ton. can take is anti-amalgamation. While dwelling on the nomination meeting, we cannot overlook an unt1eceB- sary and unfounded crack made by a man who is a candidate for the Board of Education. As it was a personal subject, and the crack (we can only call it that) was dir- ected at The Times (being the only news- paper represented in the room at the time) we will not mention the man's name. -ee m/ said, however, that the "Press should be more careful of what they publish." - -- _ _ ..

We do not believe fluorida- tion of water supplies, if done properly, will be detrimental to the health of any one of us. We support a vote in favor of Sunday movies although we think the majority of voters will defeat the move to have movies: on that day. We mpport the prin- eiple of alloivincr houses to do business on Sunday, on democratic grounds. al - though we do not believe in drawing audiences on Sunday. The Times also supports a NO vote on the question of whether or not to re- peal the town's grant to the Weston Silver Band.

Larry Stevenson is back on the municipal scene, after re- signing from Weston Council, in 1953, over the creation of Metropolitan Toronto. He was nominated for Council. Mr. Stevenson made a slate- ment of his platform to The Times yesterday, which follows: “I quit then out of absolute disgust at the abuse of power," he told the Times. "Taxes are up almost MVi under Metro and for it we get absolutely nothing. tn fact we were one of three oi the thirteen municipalities given the doubtful honour of carrying the rest on our back. "Now we have the ultimate in- sult. The real threat of amalgtr mation is here." must not come. At a lime when our taxes would have been going down each year taller 1956) we will undoubtedly have to absorb another 30'; in tax increase for amalgamation and again receive absolutely nothing in return. We have been charitable enough. 'Our local issues this year pre- sent fluoridation and as a sub ject I'm in favor. I've got 22 years of the chrmical in my sys- tem and my own teeth to support my argument. I want the band. I'd like to see a little better pub- lic relations here though. The band could sure use them. I don't believe we should let the railway brass push our com- muters around.
