i>A.i , IIURSDYNOVEIMBER 23, 1972, WilIiTBY FREIEi PRESS .Apathetic? In a weckend teiephone survey, the FREE PRESS iearnied there is somne discouragenient ini the taxpayers' minds regarding the comning muitnicipal election. Out of 100 telephone contacts, in which Whitby residents wcre asked: "Do you have as mnuch interest in the corning niicipa,.l election as you had inthec recen t iederaI clection'?", tou, many indicated thcy lhad no interest al all and would not be voting municipaiiy this year. "Newman will get his own way again and l'Il have no part of it," ap- pcared to be the crux of their philosophy. Had these telephone calis been made to the 700 people on file rcgistcring opposition 10 thc proposed towfl hall on Rossland Road, the apathy, thougli just as frighi ten- ing, would have been more underst and able. The catis, however, were made ai randomi froin the telephone book. Although perhaps inadverten îly, this administration lias given the impression thai taxpayers have no right bo ob- ject to things whichi closely relate 10 thenm. Somne local politicians have even gone so far as to dig int their label bins, tagginig our taxpayers 'tlhe narrow- mîinds' (Newman in what appears to be those who opposed the town hall) and incomibent counciilor of the north ward, Gerry Emin, with his impression of the Myrtle Station 4'activists'. (His opponent, Don Lovelock led 98% of' the hamilet of Myrtie Station lun a petition against the proposed Myrtle sausage kitchen). This country lias paid weli for certain Canadian free- doms, one of tiîem being fredom t speech whichi in- directly covers 'objecting'. And, althoughi brighit mcen sucli as Des Newman mnay leave the impression that objectionisis are activisis, other mceii lîke retiring Onitario Municipal Board Chairrnan, George Kennedy hold the opposite vicw, that il is essentiai 10 our coontry s demnocracy the fact of being indeed able to objecf*without guilt righît here -ai the municipal level. We assumne that Newman, for ail of' his polishied nannerisms and rhetoric, is rio match tor the understanding and experienice of M r. Kennedy. We don't believe that apathy will kilI Whiby's chance at the polis Decemnber 4. There are good mcen offering thecir services in boîli the old and the new. Besides, if there is anything we've learned over our pasi year and a hiaîf flighit withsome of the prescrnt administration, it's that the people of Whitby, Brooklij, Ashburn and Myrtle care-and care a great deal-about the future of the County Town. Ou Decemiber 4 nobody cati take away your freedomi to vole. Vote for anyone you wish-but do get out and vote. And if a word t0 the discouraged is necessary at ibis timne simpiy bear in mnd - 'A no-vote is a Newman vote'. STOPIN A TBR UNO S FOR COFFEE, 137 BROCK ST.
