Council after hearing all these arguments, decided that the best thing to do was to bring the issue to a vote of the ratepayers, after first obtaining an estimate and then the approval of the municipal board for the debentures. $ i This committee, consisting of La- mon, Holder and Weldon, were in- structed to contact the necessary en- gineers and obtain an estimate of the cost, at an expense of $500 or less, After they have the figures, a meet- ing of council will be called. They were given a period of seven days to obtain these facts and the next coun- cil meeting will be held Monday, July 18th. It is believed that this estimate will cost the village approximately $325. Once the figures are in the hand of the Village Council, they will be sent to the Municipal Board for approval of Municipal Board approves of said de- benture issues, then municipal council will go ahead with plans for a vote of the rafepayers, to determine if the residents of Sutton wish to spend that amount- to install the system. It is hoped that the vote may be held this year, but time is running short, should the summer people have returned to Toronto, and the other various permanent residences, council feel that it would be unfair to hold the vote. Therefore, if it proves impossible to vote prior to the end of August, the vote will be held over until next spring oor early summer, "TOUFFVILLE TAX RATE STRUCK AT EIGHT MILLS SGI THIS YEAR _Peepite the fact that council man- aged to reduce the budget for local operating purposes nearly -three mills to 23.1, the overall tax rate for 1955 has been set at eighty mills, an in= crease of seven mills over last year. The entire raise has been due to climb- ing school costs, the Public School add- ing almost six mills. and the High School about five. The rate for coun- ty purposes dropped about one mill. Reeve Elmer Daniels stated that he was quite pleased that council had been able to hold the line and even make some reductions in town spend- ing, even including the initial payment for debenturing 'of sewers under a portion of Main St. Total tax roll this year will amount to $95,151.29, based on an assessment made last year of $1,194,764.00. UXBRIDGE TOWNSHIP CONSIDERS NEW MUNICIPAL OFFICE At the regular meeting of Uxbridge Township Council on Monday evening, councillors Earl Dowswell and Clar- ence Bunkér were given instructions to obtain a price on property in the Good- wood vicinity which would be suitable for the erection of a new municipal office and garage. Councillors Dowswell questioned whether it. would be more economical to build a new office or repair the present hall where 'the council now holds its regular meetings. Some felt that it would be more costly to fix up the old building than to erect a new one, Councillor Robert Nesbitt ques- tioned whether there might be a house in Goodwood available that would serve the purpose. : Councillor Clarence Bunker was of the opinion that council should first seek to purchase a site at a reasonable price before any decision could be reached. Councillors Dowswell and Bunker will bring bhack-a report at debenture issues, If and when the the next meeting, . . list de some shopping here in Canada. stuff.' | more glamour or more style!

Only when they learned that he was after quality did they let him have a chance at our Canadian goods, Walking up the street to hunt for silverware, we passed many shops with American flags displayed. I said, 'Does it please you to see your flay in all these store windows?' 'Heavens, no!" he snorted. 'Don't they realize a fellow travels because he wants a change? We like to buy Canadian goods when we get up here. We figures Canadian stuff is better made. Maybe we're suckers--but we don't think so!' ' Te I don't think so, either. .

PRINTED WORD IS STILL SUPREME ; ) The disastrous effects of television on other forms of "both ertertainment and publicity have, apparently, been greatly exaggerated--at least from a long-term point of view, 'This is indicated by the results of a five years at New Brunswick, N.J., which goes to show that, following the first impact of TV, people are return- ing to what the late President W. G. Harding once described as "normalcy." At the outset, night-time radio list- ening was pretty hard hit by TV competition, but the survey shows it to be now definitely on the upswing. From 1952, movie attendance declined, but it started to come back in 1953 and in 1954 it showed a substantial tncrease. oid Of particular interest to newspaper and magazine advertisers and publish- ers is the finding that "Newpaper reading is the only form of mass com- munication in the home which shows no reaction when TV sets are pur- chased." . In fact the survey reports a steady increase in newspaper reading by adults since 1951, the first year of TV in the homes under survey. In 1951, newspaper reading showed a nine per cent increase; in 1962--a presidential election year--it gained 20 per cent; | with a 12 per cent rise in 1963. Last year newspaper reading remained at the 1953 peak. Magazine reading was hard hit in 1951 with a 53 per cent drop, but the last year of the survey it came back with a 70 per cent in- crease." ly All of which goes to prove that the printed 'word is still supreme in -the field of mass communication.

But they, at the same time, would be willing to see the editor write the same thing as they are thinking! and suffer any repercussions that may arise. A paper's opinion is open at all times for criticism. Unlike the aver- age individual who can discuss his pet theories behind closed doors or in in- timate surroundings with friends, a newspaper's views are open to the publi¢ "and read by hundreds of in- dividuals who may agree or who may violently disagree. As a result, edi- torial opinion is most always written after the subject in mind has been thoroughly understood, considered and deemed of sufficient import to war- rant attention. , ) . That the coriclugion drawn .is in- varialy right doesn't always have to be so. Editors, like everyone else, are not infallible and they appreciate hear- ing of any facts'that may have been overlooked and which may, in some casos, shed a different light on the subject. However, it should also be realized that a newspaper editor or re- porter attends a lot of meetings and with diverse viewpoints on any given subject than does the average individ- ual, Because of that, it becomes easier to differentiate between that which is commonly wanted and that which is desired by' a select few, Incidentally, why don't you write a letter to the paper?
