rive at the same idea this past week that something should be done to play up the opening of the new Main St when con struction Is completed The Optimist club put in the first official bid to town council Monday night asking permission to hold a street dance when the pavement is completed on the street There was a report that the Lions club wants to hold its annual carnival on the new Main St pavement Around the coffee counters this week businessmen were talking about a monster open ing of the new street There were ideas put forward about having big sales and giving away prizes Some Imaginative people could see a monster affair with carnivals rides fireworks wide open stores and even com munity organizations such as the WI and the handcraft group having exhibits and booths on the Main St It could be a communitywide affair with something going on in all the parks some felt One particularly thoughtful Individual suggested that the mayor roll a marble from the top of the Main St hill to the bottom at the opening to prove that it was the smoothest street in North York It is reported that some mer chants are holding a meeting to night to discuss any proposals for a Main St

LIBERAL CANDIDATE NOTES SOFT PEDAL FOR COL DREW Speaking to an enthusiastic meeting of supporters here this week Jack Smith Liberal candi date in North York commented on the already apparent strategy of the ProgressiveConservative Party to softpedal the George Drew leadership It is significant said Mr Smith that the Conservative advertising and special literature prepared in many ridings while praising the Conservative party and its policies does not so much as make a single word of men tion of the official party leader Col George Drew This apparent softpedalling of the Drew leadership will not fool the electors said the can didate as leadership is one of the vital issues of the campaign I find among people of all politi cal parties in North York a seri ous reluctance to exchange the experienced and proven states manship of Prime Minister St Laurent for a Drew led adminis tration I find among people of all more and more every day in the face of justified con cern for the current troubled state of international affairs Mr Smith said PC CANDIDATE SEES RETURN OF US AS MARKETS The Progressive Conservative candidate in North York C A Tiny Gathers spoke at a meet ing of the polling division chair men and PC workers last week In speaking to the workers mostly farmers Mr Cathers mentioned the recent closing of the markets for dairy products in the United States We will see that

previously out lined in the letter from the may or provided a home for the aged on the same scale as outlined by the county is erected and that the town will make such land available whether or not such home for the aged is erected by the County of York or by the Metropolitan area of Greater Toronto under any arrangement made with the County of York Mayor Vale explained that the town had offered the nine acres as a gift to the county before the Cummings report had been made suggesting the formation of the Greater Toronto Metropolitan area The land offered by New market plus an area to the south of it would make up the site for the new county as proposed then The county home was to have cost a million and a half dollars The Metropolitan councillors according to the reeve and depu tyreeve wanted the same offer from Newmarket no strings attached There had been com ments from other members of the northern municipalities which make up the new county about the Metropolitan home being built on the Newmarket site in the event that the Metropoli tan council takes over this pro perty and does not permit York County patients to be admitted Councillor Lome said that he thought council should have more time to thing about the proposal The mayor said that the county clerk wanted an answer to be given by Wednes day for the consideration of the Metropolitan council Councillor
