THE ERA WED DECEMBER 10 VOL 118 NO 19 I Editorials Theyre content East Gwillimbury Township taxpayers are obviously content with their present council as they reelected all but one of them to serve the 107071 term Deputy Reeve Gladys Rolling went in unopposed as reeve while Councillor Ray was elected by a substantial margin to the posi tion of deputy reeve Reeve Garfield Wright decided not to seek reelection but In stead sought a seat on council He received a large number of votes did incumbent Councillor Bill Steele as they topped the polls for council Councillor Jack Rye veteran of years in municipal politics decided to retire this year His place on council will be filled by Alex Morning Mr Morning a member of a pioneer township family is obviously widely known throughout East Gwillimbury because he received support from all parts of it Mr Mornings common sense and knowledge of the township and its people will compliment the experience of the other members of the 197071 council The plebiscite to decide if the ratepayers wanted the township to provide for the capital expenditure towards a community centre was approved by a narrow margin Nevertheless it was approved The approval was gained despite the widespread belief that a majority of ratepayers did not want to pay extra taxes to construct a community centre That is why the council called for a plebiscite Now there is no question that a community centre is desired by the majority of East Gwjllinilnny taxpayers The council should waste no time in implementing the wishes of the people Any delay in appointing this Committee and getting ahead with the construction of the community centre will only mean that East limbury Township will be without muchneeded recreational facilities for another year and the taxpayers will ultimately have to pay more for them SUGAR SPICE By Bill Smiley Alls well that ends well Why does a man stagger out to work when hes unable to do it properly is a threat to everyone around him and is probably shorten ing his own life by three or four This is the sort of ration alizing I was doing this week when 1 look not one but two days sick leave That makes six days in ten Id been coughing like a Niagara Falls it It Kleenex I is dizzier than a bat at high noon 1 ached front stent to gudgeon and I couldnt decide which was aching know that nobody has ever been as ill as you Especially those phonies on TV who stay in bod drink plenty of fluids and stuff themselves with Rut theres a mora pac tion involved with the flu Should one go to church school or business and hack sneeze cough and spit all over the congregation the classroom or colleagues The answer think is an unequivocal yes provided we have the strength Thats the only way in which we can maintain one of our few great old Canadian traditions spreading the flu Wo have spread two things in this country since pion eer days flu and fertilizer and we Spreading the flu is not without its merits provided it is done with tact and timing As wit- On Friday night we apposed to go to the annual ball the year You know the sort of My wife great fort at says Youre going to die with that chest cold And then she sits back and starts counting on her fingers The term insurance the life she begins I realize I ha- keep her take out The doctor of course al ways settles everything He says Got the flu eh Natur ally Ive got the flu or my wife wouldnt have called him If I had merely a broken leg shed probably iih and drink lots This always bright ens me up and I pull out of the slump within a week provided I dont drink too much of the men want to go and i cent of the women Its a chance them to wear their wigs make old man spring for a smashing dress and discuss for the next what ridiculous things the other look forward to his own funeral So sick was 1 that even the thought of having to shine my shoes made me feel faint That was bad enough Hut somehow wed been finessed into having an parly with rid people guzzling and drink I didnt see how I could gel through alive To my delight and her my wife woke up Friday hacking and gasping and That probably saved life and about so the flu cant be all bad THE Readers ERA how the York County Hoard of Edu cation is running our school system The recent series of four area conferences on education spon sored by the board and lo which all leathers and parents of the county feel this represents too few parents isider pare majority are not interested enough to come out This is a legitimate point of view but what about the or more who did turn out are interested do care I think their views are important but there really is no way at present for these concerned par ents to feel that their views do mai ler May I point out that IS trustees arent very many people cither that they are paid a modest sum to ho at isly indeed Mr editor I would like to hear from other parents through your column what they think the role of parents should be MARGARET F
