Aurora resolution regarding municipal bed races aft their fiasco last Friday Aurora was soundly trounced by members of Newmarket council in a bed race between the two towns as part of the Canada Day celebrations Circulating resolutions is an old tradition that has one major impact It keeps the post office in business and isnt too bad for the printing and copying trade either If a municipality discovers what it considers an inequity over which it has no control it has two choices It can approach the provincial or federal government and explain the problem and ask them to rectify it Or it can say the same things in a resolution send that resolution to absolutely everyone else in the province even the country and ask them to agree Everyone else who agrees passes a resolution saying they agree and the province or federal government is then weighed down by the combined tonnage of all those resolutions Thats why I suspect the province is always up to here in paper and why subdivision plans and other things get burled and take years to surface Park What has all this got to do with bed races you might readily ask Sorry I got carried I do think it necessary to explain what I mean Besides it helps fill space Aurora council invited Newmarket council to participate in a bed race last Friday Aurora always has one of the best July parties and doesnt just wait for the federal government to tell them to have a celebration Bed races for anyone who does not watch beer commercials on television consist of putting a man in a bed putting wheels on the bed and getting a Pile of people to push the bed to a predetermined finish line As in all races the first bed across the line is the winner Thats as far as the international rules fonbed races go The rule book has only one page and that is all it contains Aurora council dutifully found an old bed and stuck four wheels one for each post on it The back wheels were able to turn to allow the pushers some control over which direction the bed would take when pushed Aurora council then ordered white with Aurora Council on the front and their individual names on the back Then handlettered a few signs on artboard and hung them on the bed The signs carried derogatory remarks about Newmarket council Something about Newmarket council having an advantage because it had been going downhill for some time Newmarket council noting the absence of any rules for bed races ordered the erection of a racing machine with a mattress It was red in color and contained the spiallest mattress available And there the similarity to a bed ended It had a steering wheel from an old car this letter will end in action rather than buck- passing I remain KATHRYN A ENNOR Cats should be kept under control I have just read the item Sad sign

with Planning is an important function means deciding what A heavy responsibility r sort of service we want to provide Not just now a but years down the road And it means that number of dollars to spend priorities have to be set And somebody goes without with less than enthusiasm Thats The York Centre for Learning a Richmond Hillbased childrens icntal health centre has operated lously and dealt directly with provincial What kind of service do we want How are we going to provide it What are we going to for years And with success Now it have to give up to get it learns it might come under the control of a inning group that will judge the merit of its struggle not only to catch the bus but also to get to work on time In the hope that this letter will initiate steps in The right direction I

Hall Peter Miller threatened the fabric of his for Aurora Newmarket won easily With Mayor at the helm the alleged bed ran straight and true to the finish line without incident In fact members of Newmarket council were riding the bed in fireman fashion part of the way Aurora council with Tiny in the cockpit had a disastrous trek to the finish line At the first turn the bed sped towards the crowd and hit the curb One Aurora pusher completed a daring headoverheels somersault into- the spectators There was no cash prize no kiss from a beauty style and not even a trophy Ray Twinney will buy one and present it to Mayor Forhan at the next regional council meeting just to embarrass Mayor Mr it can now be revealed had planned a secret weapon for the race He planned to throw a bunch of golf balls to the ground in front of the Aurora pushers but decided it was not necessary when he saw the Aurora vehicle Some suggestions for that circulating petition Mr Ail vehicles in said races must have been slept in on a regular basis in the last calendar year No golf balls no flashing lights or road signs pet than going to a pet store and buying one Twice this year and once last year we were awakened by the sound of cats fighting on our back deck at 2 am and believe me its at times like that that I dont have much respect for cat owners Also we have had to clean out our sand box a number of times because these cats have been allowed to run free Dog owners unite Its about time cats were subjected to the same laws fines and restric tions weve been forced to follow for years To those pet owners- whose animals have AC CIDENTALLY gotten out and been killed poisoned or abused Im sorry as I had it happen to me RICHARD DELSON 2S5 Patterson St Newmarket I am a girl IS years old presently
