the front page of last weeks Era That story was left to the publisher who attended the meeting where the report was issued With that information that Toronto wbul not take over southern York Region the rest us at The Era went back to our dally or weekly tasks We were ready though Had the report recommended a partial takeover by Metro of Yorks assessmentrich south The Era would have swung into action like the Allied forces on DDay The rumors of a takeover had been In the air since York Region began Municipal and regional politicians were able to campaign on the issue in Yorks early years If elected I promise to fight to the death any move by Metro to take over all those fac tories carpet shops hamburger stands and service stations in the southern portion of our grand and glorious region

like the Washington Post and Watergate Numerous meetings were held and the midnight oil burned in that tiny little office on Charles Street right next to the beer store The Era as the leading paper in York could not be outdone on Yorks biggest story since Jack ii called Garf Wright Mr- Trouble The four front pages of the newspaper would cover the details of the in what is known as War Over type The size of type that is only used when a war ends or when the win the Grey Cup The Era borrowed some of that type from the Toronto Star and dusted it off in preparation for the Big Story The Star taking a quick look at the games assured The Era there was no hurry to return it Editorial cartoonists were issued orders to prepare symbolic illustrations of the smelly smoky metropolis rolling over
