SINCLAIR Editor PAGE TEN THURSDAY THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYONE CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS AURORA MEMORIAL ARENA i i I GOOD MUSIC GOOD ICE GOOD FELLOWSHIP The editor North York water supply should he a paramount thought of every man woman and child of this large county and adjacent townships It is later than you think for we who depend upon wells for our water must realize just how serious our position is in respect to the ever diminishing supplies which are drying up at such an alarming date Leisurely con templation of this problem will not do we must do some fast thinking and get the best top flight engineering advice poss ible and when this advice is re ceived we must have their plans implemented just as soon as it is humanely possible If we go on as we are now it is only a matter of months before severe water rationing will have to be put into effect We must take steps immediately to con serve water resourc es not only for municipalities but for agricultural purposes as well It is just that serious that if we do not do something right away the cost of our neglect will be in millions of dollars and away will go the fine economic position we have so to obtain The water supply must not under any circumstances be a political issue The Upper Hol land River Authority should start to function right away and I re spectfully suggest they should have both the federal and prov incial governments to aid them to bring a project of this magni tude to a successful conclusion We must have an accurate esti mate of our existing water sourc es made by qualified water en gineering experts and at the same time we must explore thoroughly the possibilities of bringing rfrom Lake Sim- coo This huge body of water should be utilized by this genera tion and not left fo rsome re mote time in the future The need is now For our own good it is our duty to get behind the Upper Holland River Authority and see to it that this body be given j enough funds with which to carry on this important work from which each and everyone of us will I wish at this time to commend the editor of the Era and Express for the long fight he has carried on to bring about organized water conservation and I feel at long last we are going to see I some definite action and results This is a clear call to personal in- j and duty I Gordon Hoffman From Our Office At Doan Hall What Is A HomeTown Paper We have received many congratulations on the suc cess achieved by Aurora News Page in its publicity campaign for the removal of the press ban imposed by Mayor Bell Actually our own part was to make the situation known to our readers and not let the matter drop until the ban was removed Restriction of the legitimate to mention such matters if it uses of the press seemed to us so serious a matter that we ex pected members of council to have brought it up immediately it was brought to their notice That did not happen in the course of many weeks In the end council took action follow ing the questioning of the mayor by a publicspirited citizen who was expressing the disquiet felt by large numbers of his fellow- taxpayers Mr Everett Kerr who resides on Cousins Drive formerly re sided at Until his re moval to his present home he and his family were for several years at the farm known as Long Acres situated south of Aurora which he farmed as a hobby In his early forties Mr Kerr is a stock broker and has been on the To ronto Stock Exchange for over 24 years It was he who sparked the town council into action by the questions he asked on Monday evening Nov resulting in a victory for the freedom of the press for which this newspaper has campaigned The Home Paper One outstanding fact in con nection with the campaign for the freedom of the press was the complete failure of the other newspaper in town which as sumes to itself the title of the homepaper to take any part in defending the rights of the citizens to have detailed reports of council business Actually the other paper has no more claim than Aurora News Page to call itself the hometown paper We pay taxes here for offices where our Aurora News Pages are pre pared and the other paper also rents offices Our Pages are printed in Newmarket and the other paper is printed at Bramp ton and formerly at Oshawa We live and maintain a home here in Aurora By such tests ours is a hometown paper It would not occur to us even were not for the bombastic of the other paper and its assumption of a superi which its columns fail to support It is true that we do not cut such capers with heavy headlines as the other paper or make such a fuss over trifles to the neglect of more important home news Readers of Aurora News Pages have realized that our presenta tion of Aurora news is absolute ly independent of backstage strings and that we write with out fear or favor We do not trim the news to suit pur poses of cliques and factions with an axe of their own to grind We write in the inter ests of all of the citizens and not for just a few of them Want To Go To Sunny Cat Gals Shove over men The women are moving in on the hockey racket Pep new ly installed recreation director

the Aurora Rotary club on Monday Nov was the Rev Dr Mulligan In a rapid survey of many down-to- earth Canadian problems the speaker laid emphasis on the need for a unified rather than a sectional outlook on national questions One should not think of Canada in terms of Ontario and Quebec said the speaker but of the country as a whole Dr Mulligan stressed the need for increased selective immigra tion pointing out the great ad vantages of many and varied skills being incorporated into the national economy Properly supervised the speaker consid ered that such increased immi gration was of paramount im portance to Canada Dr Mulligan while pointing out the necessity of technical development said that we should also pay great attention to the promotion of cultural interests At the
