SHERRIN OFFER Shortly after its refusal to subsidize the Town Ambulance Service, council received an offer-from the William E. Sher- rin Funeral Home to supply am- bulance service to the town. Mr. Sherrin's place of business is 2.8 miles west of town. | While expressing his thanks to council for its consideration of the subsidy request, Mr. Town severely criticized the operator of the out-of-town ambulance service, offering service fo Whitby. Councillor Desmond Newman told council he did not appre-) ciate Mr. Town's remarks and said he wished many aspects) about the subsidy request had| been different. | MUCH NEEDED SERVICE | But, Mr. Newman said, am- bulance service is a much-need- ed service_in town. Mayor Stanley Martin after hearing the criticism refused to become involved in an alterca- tion with Mr. Town over his statement of criticism. Deputy-reeve George Brooks said he much preferred the service of people in 'Whitby, whether it be for tires, cars, groceries or ambulance service --but he did not like the ap- proach made by the W. C. Town Funeral! Chapel for its subsidy. WRONG APPROACH "I would have been happy," the deputy-reeve said, "if coun- cil would have been asked to sit down and talk busines: s with Town. But, I felt when theSec- ond request was made-'it said we get our grant or else' -- Only minutes before Mr. Town addressed council to inform it that the service would definitely cease to operate Friday, Clerk- treasurer John R.

Eric Branton, a member of the school board for four years, addressed the council against the petition. "T've talked with. several school teachers and they say students come into high school better prepared from a country school than those from a town school," he said. "They are better prepared to work on their own and are not "spoon fed.'

"TI think they have plenty of time to learn a language in thigh school," he added.

Beaupre sees it the score is one win, two draws and a loss.

"It's an excellent production that has exceeded even our high expectations," Mr. Beaupre said, The opera Macbeth played to a 60-per-cent crowd of 2,140 at the Queen Elizabeth theatre. 'We had a few bugs on open- ing night, but they were ignored by the second production, The Saturday crowd was disappoint- ing in size, but our Met people (there are Metropolitan opera personnel in key roles) said it was the most enthusiastic they had ever seen."

The streets committee chair- man requested a bylaw calling for-the owner of a diseased tree located on private property abutting a street to correct the condition within one month from the date of a written re- quest by council. Mr. Bevan suggested a dis- eased tree on private property could endanger the life, safety or property of the public using the street. Speaking to his motion, Coun- cillor Bevan said: : "We now have a bylaw cover- ing the planting, trimming and removal of trees on streets, and we need this additional by- law to complement the one which covers streets.
