Monday night The reeve said there are not adequate funds available to support a full civil defence program I dont knew how far a mu nicipality can go on civil de fence spending under the present taxation system he said New market included 500 for pos sible expenditures for civil de fence in its budget this year He said that there is a skeleton structure for a defence organ ization in York County but when it comes down to it municipali ties cannot go ahead with a pro gram without sufficient funds Reeve Evans pointed out that Hon Paul Martin told the Con ference of Mayors and Reeves that Canada has a threefold de fence strengthening the armed forces defence production arid civil defence It looks to me like it is the responsibility of the federal government for civil de fence spending he said It is understood that the pres ent responsibilities on the fed- PACK FLUSHES WOLF SOUTH OF AURORA The of the Toronto and North York Hunt Club flushed out a wolf last Saturday south of Aurora No one remembers seeing a wolf that far south in recent years The pack flushed the wolf from a bush on the farm of Harold on the third of Whitchurch The hunters were close enough to the animal to

machine will enable workmen to use com pressed air tools for pavement breaking and breaking ground for sewer and watermain con struction and maintenance En gineer Bosworth soys that the town pays 25 a day to rent such a machine and that it is needed more than times a year era government for civil de fence include the provision of advance warning systems and devices in target areas Ihe pro vision of civil defence research staff courses training equipment and technical instruments pay ment of onethird of the cost of materials for standardizing fire hose couplings and stockpiling in strategic locations across Can ada of medical supplies and equipment responsibilities in clude preparations in certain designated communities- to de fend their own citizens and pro perty against enemy attack and preparations by all communities to provide assistance for victims of enemy attack in other centres Last July Newmarket was named control centre for the reception area north of Rich mond Hill in the Toronto and York civil defence organization Under the arrangement munici palities in the reception area are to be concerned with provision of fire and police services in the event of enemy attack on the target area which is Toronto and will also be responsible for billeting and feeding refugees The point is how far can a municipality go in paying the cost of civil defence Mr Evans asked The fire brigade and the police force need special instruction Although the fed eral government offers free in struction at courses held in Ot tawa the municipality must pay travelling expenses lodging and wages of volunteer firemen and others off work a week or more taking the instruction Then there is the matter of the cost of insuring volunteer workers Various town organizations have offered to take an active part in civil defence here but they have been denied any par ticipation so far The Legion Canadian Corps firemen and others have made representation to council about starting the de fence work But we cant use them until some liaison work is done said Mr Evans End Second Bus Route This Saturday Night The Newmarket Bus Lines have announced this week that they will end a second town bus service which was started last March The route served the north west part of town ham St and Second St south Larry Needier represented the Newmarket Bus Lines at a meet ing of town council Monday The bus line has a 10- year franchise and in the agree ment changes in rout are sub ject to the approval of council The route has not been pay ing for itself he said We have had regular passengers on the route during the eight months it has been operating but the volume of passengers did not pick up as we had expected Last Saturday 181 persons used the bus winch brought in little over The bus operates 1G hours a day There was talk in council of a municipal subsidy to keep the line as a public service DeputyReeve Spillette told of some municipalities which make up for the loss on bus lines in suburban sections but council did not consider a subsidy seri ously It was understood that this route would be added as an experiment in the first place said Mr If it did not work out it could he drop ped by council approval Elec tors voted for the bus franchise last year but there was no stipu lation for routes in the vote Mr Needier said that the only sections which will not have the service as before are around Pickering College and the north west part of town As an ex periment St will be served by the original town route starting Monday The second bus route will end on Saturday night at oclock LEGION OPENS APPEAL r I William LnPnrde chairman of the Newmarket Canadian Legion Poppy committee said this week that canvassers had already begun the annual Poppy Day campaign with calls upon places of for orders for Remembrance Day wreaths The can will be completed on Saturday Nov when Poppy Day will be observed The need this year is greater than ever said Wo hope there will be 100
