mayorelect lie was young man 39 years old and had been known pre viously only as sometime ra die and television commentator and as an insurance salesman Despite the fact he had no experience in municipal politics Bob Bentley had captured the Barrie electorate With an imaginative campaign to break the cosy compact in city hall he gained 610Avote margin over Mayor Les Cooke who had been in oiiice for six years and had considerable stat ure as president at the Associa Lion of Ontario and irector oi the Canadian on at Mayors and Mn and chairman oi the 59 int committee to the Ontario government on the Smith report on taxation Forlythrec per cent at the citys registered voters came to the polls turnout that had not been equalledin years POLITICAL SLDGAN Cosy compact had been an ideal political slogan The phrase however brought the resentment and suspicion at some city at dormen who felt it implied there was something wrong in the old white building on Mulcaster St Nine of the 12 alderman from the previous council had been returned to ottice six of them by acclamation Like any team Barrie Trustee The new county school board must take time to determine its own philosophy oi education be fore it takes steps to make staff appointments Mrs Thelma Cockburn Barrie trustee said in an interview today Mrs Cockburn was comment ing on speech in Windsor Thurs day by Lloyd Dennis coauthor of Ontarios HallDennisrepor on education Mr Dennis told the University of Windsor Faculty Association that the new county school board should go slow in developing education programs Mr Dennis said he hoped the county boards would notmake the same mistake as the de partment of education in build ing empires andseverely re stricting curricula hope they wont rush into such things as stall appoint ments he said Mrs Cockbum said the board here would be meeting in com mittee oi the whole to attempt to create philosophy to guide its approach to educational prob lems We are really operating un der two kinds oi pressures she said We have decisions to be made immediately and we have many fine people who have applied tor postiinns who deserve to know whether we intend to accept

the suspicion oi the mayor has dissipated but when council starts its second term in January the fireworks may start again CALLED 0N MAYOR The iirst action at the alder man which was generated by the mayors election campaign was to call on the mayor to con duet an investigation into the possibility of malfeasance in city hall The motion passed unanimous ly The next step was to reicet the mayors striking committee report which would have placed Aldiacit Garner as chairman at public works and Aid Les Jolliife in city development while Aid Frank Hersey would have replaced the finance com mittee firebrand Gerry Roberts proposal to create city transportation committee was also turned down The report seemed to be move to split the traditional authority structure of counciltby moving the citys more influential alderman away from areas in which they had experience Council returned itir Roberts to finance and placed Aid Gar ner in city development and Aid Jolliiie in public works which had been their specialties if Advocates Go Slow Education Pulley Mr Dennis has been worldng fullLima expounding the sub stance and recommendations of Living and Learning other wise known as the HallDennis

Regular MONDAY TUESDAY ANDTHURSDAY NOONTIME the cosy compact had been any more than nifty catch all phrase there might hare been something to Mayor Bentleys charge oi council conspiracy when his striking committee rev port was turned down but later events have shown otherwise NO SERIOUS FAULT When the mayor brought in his cosy compact investiga tion report in months alter cour oil had asked for it he lound no serious fault with the oper ations of the city government The events and the happen ings oi this council have led me to the conclusion that by and large the intention of the st dermen at this council is for the good of Barrie the report said Councils response to the in vestigation is good indication oi hoiv relations between the council and thermayor havelm proved Aid Roberts said he felt the report had shown that he was instiried his action in calling for the study and cleared upthe tmpresfin that something was going tiiattwas not above board But he was careful to add There is nothing further to be served by flogging this dead horse In council no one questioned the fact the report had dealt not with the actions of the previous council or delved into any is sues that might have demon strated what the mayor meant by the cosy compact The cosy compact was recognized for what was neat myth The only question that remains is dog thermayor i1ill behave in his own myth The mayor is now studying councils committee structure and new standing committee report can be expected in Jan uary Minority committee reports stenographers to record the min utes of committee meetings more detailed committeereports and open committee Meetings are among some of the reforms the mayor has indicated he may recommend to council The suggestions are good ones It is hoped the
