age business at Big Bay Point In 1933 with $35 plus $15 bor roired from his mother and 10yearold truck may be the next mayor of Barrie On the day 23 years ago when he decided to go into business he rode on bicycle all the way in Toronto to pick up the old GMC truck which had 200900 miles on it when he bought it Through the years Mr Cooke has portrayed the onetruckbus iness into fair sized moving and storage operation in Barrie which uses 16 units ranging from tractortrailers to halfton trucks and whose payroll list ranges from 12 to 20 employees BY ACCLAMATION Les Cooke first entered muni cipal politics in the election of 1954 when he got in by acclama tion after being persuaded to put his name up by the Junior Chamber of Commerce The chamber approached me on nomination day and asked me to run Up until then had not been aware of the responsi bility citizen has to take part in the affairs of his community There was great deal of lcth orgy that year Mr Cooke re calls The entire slate got in by occiamation Some of us realized that something had to be done about it During hisseven years on the political scene Lcs Cooke has served as deputy reeve reeve alderman and on county coun cil PROUD when Barrie became city Les recalls was the chair man of the committee which negotiated the separation agree ment with the county As far as know it is the only such agreement which came into be ing without first going through the law courts and feel that this is something both myself and the other people involved can be proud of Les Cooke was born in Town to on July 10 1917 His lather ran onetruck cartage business and Les earliest memories are of helping his father on the truck when the depression hit his fathers business the family moved north to near Sprucedale in the

years ago and moved to Big Bay Point in 1377 His father Silby James Cooke operated store there for number of years Up until 1953 Les Cooke fre quently took turn at the wheel of his own tracks When the business got big ger he says and moved over from driving to administra tion often felt the urge to teley drivers what to do still consider myself glorified truck driver Im bit rusty now but think could still get behind the wheel of tractor traller and do fair job MAIN INTERESTS Les Cookes three main inter ests in life are the church the is member of the Christian Eusiaessmens Association and the Missionary Alliance activities in municipal politics These activities take large slice out of the time which he Cooke is the former Dorothy Pa quette of Montreal They have three daughters Ruth 12 Shir ley 11 and Lorraine six My children accept the time give to my political BBthltleS as matter of course since the oldest was live when started in this work My wife accepts the fact that have to spend great deal of time on these out side activities She doesnt com plain as much as she has right to try to keep at least one night week clear to spend with the family and during the summer we get away from things by going out on the bay in the boat to have lunch For the past seven Years Mr Cooke has given his time to the many problems which the public brings to member at council ranging from the big issues like sewers and zoning to complaints from citizens about their neigh hours dogs If Les Cooke is chosen as mayor next December he will find an even greater call on his time and bigger

time for na ture to purify water too long said Mr Harris Therefore although the na tural precipitation which falls on even single watershed may be used and reused dozen times between source and out fall it is evident that the puri fication of these wastes cannot be left to nature alone Ontario has for many years been abusing her natural re sources and dumping her wastes into natures streams without regard to the safety and well being of the neighbours down stream The history of pollution in the intematiooal boundary waters first began in 1913 and since 1945 it has been reported that with
