Five yéars of double talk and no real action on inadequate water, bad roads, lack of sewers, too few parks and poor transportAtion have caused â€" Ratepayers‘ Associations from one end of the Township of Etobicoke to the other to meet and decide that it was time something be done, ratepayers‘ officials state. The Etob:coke Voters‘ Association was formed as a direct result of these conditions, it is claimed, for the purpose of persuading qualified candidates to run for Council. After careful consideration, they are endorsing THREE cand‘dates, who were selected for their inâ€" tegrity, mbility and interest in the Township. e Elmer Brandon‘s extensive exâ€" perience in municipal, county, proâ€" wincial and even dominion affairs recommends him as cabinet maâ€" Etobicoke Voters Association Backs Three Council Candidates No confirmation as to just which post Mr. Brandon might fill was available but it‘s a matter of record that previous West York members have usually been on the cabinet, "It seems likeiy," a spokesman for the Conservative party said this week, "that Elmer Brandon, awhen elected in West York, will be invited into the provincial cabinet by Premier Frost." In 1945 Mr. Mackenzie was electâ€" ed to the Provincial Legislature, and in 1948 he was reâ€"elected.

All three cand‘dates are agreed that NO AMALGAMATION shall take plece unless voted for by the Township taxpayers. â€" These men may be heard on the platform at Wes‘mount School on November 26 and at Thistletown, November, 27. These candidates are representaâ€" tive of all citizens and have no political ties. They have boen selected to give Etobicoke Council a backbone of experience in engiâ€" neering, le‘al and business matâ€" ters. Mr. Devlin is a lawyer, who has successfully â€" represented var.ous groups in Etobicoke Township beâ€" fore Council and the TTC. He has knowledge of municipal affairs and is an advocate of closer ‘coâ€"operaâ€" tion between Planning and Council. ‘acity, Mr. Mackenzie, who is & great humanitarian, has always !had the best interests of his riding at heart and his efforts to serve the people of North York have been untiring.

Each political party has been given space to express its views. We reserve the right to express our opinion editorially but the fullest coverâ€" age possible has been given in news columns to all three parties in the local riding in order that readers may make up their own mind how they will vote. $ And all who have the interests of good government at heart will vote on Thursday. The Star may piously hope that in the rural riding less sophisticated readers (reaction in Toronto has varied from amusement to nausea) will swallow the bunkum dished out in "scare" headlines. The advance of electricity, transportation, and other services in progressive Ontario has effectively ended isolation of former backwoods communities and there are no ‘yokels‘ left to be gathered into the sucker fold. It takes more than a diet of sensational smear headlines and sentimental guff to turn the head of a hardâ€"headed Ontario voter wherever he lives. In this enlightened and generally skeptical age which has been disillusioned by master propagandists like Hitler and imitators, propaganda has attained a bad odor. You may still fool some of the people some of the time but the truth is, you may have to be a bit more subtle in the doing. The resolution charged The Star with giving one political party and its leader as much as 20 times the space given to other parties, suppression of news unfavorable "to its political friends" and distortion of headlines. The resolution maintained that the TLC neither asks nor expects newspapers to support its political view but "insists that any newspaper worthy of our democratic traditions should present all views to readers fairly and honestly." We believe that the campaign conducted by The Toronto Star on behalf of Walter Thomson will bounce back with a vengeance.

With the increasing population of some 25,000, this department is finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the situation. Our incinerator on South Drive at times became overloaded and a new dumping site for trade waste, brush and garden refuse, ashes, etc., was necessary. We have secured such a site on North Queen Street in a very isolated part of the township at a considerable distance from the nearest residence. This is relieving the situation at the incinerator. Two tractors with mower attachâ€" ments were purchased this year and weeds on roadsides in the builtâ€"up sections of the township were cut.
