CANDIDATE FOR ALDERMAN Hopes To See More Trees Lining Barrie Streets By JIM srorr Most of us ignore trees ex ept in the fall when we admire the patterns of color formed by the changing leaves or when one of them gets in our way and we want the city to remove it Les Iollife candidate for alderman in ward one talks about trees almost as if they were human This is not an rising They have been part his daily life for more than 20 years tic took course as tree surgeon in 1938 lie is now forestry supcrv visor of the Georgian Bay area for Ontario Hydro and part of his job is to make sure that trccs dont Interfere with th hydro lines HIS DREAM One of his drcams Is to see Barrie as city full of beautiful trees Willard Kinzie came out with me couple of years ago and drorc him around the city and showed him what could be done with trees My plan would take about is years removing 20 or so old trees every year and planting about too new ones The mayor agreed that the plan was good idea but nothing was ever done about it was money on maintenance later This will be Less sccond try at seat on council in 1959 he lost out to Earle Williams by three votes The roads are good in the win ter but every spring they are full of potholes and patches The amount of money spcnt on didnt ask for recount he said because It was fair fight and felt that there would always be ncxt time He is not entirely pleased with the present council wont mention any names he says but there are certain aldermen who look around to see how someone else is voting fore they cast their own vote patching every year is pathctic Its like pulling coat of cheap paint on housc and thcn hav ing to paint it all over again Les Jolliffewas born in Lon don Ontario in 1913 and wont to work in his fathers grocery store when he left high school The pinch of the depression boat the grocery store into the ground and Les left home to work at supermarkets first in dDetroit and then back in Low OIL NEW JOB Tho supermarket business offered long hours and low PW Les says so went to work for General Steel Wares other words they play follow leader There is also up on council which seems to out to build wall around Bar and oppose regress dont ow whether is their own tude or whether they are read into it by outside pres lures MAYORALTY CONTEST Id like to ace Frank Hersey run against Les Cooke for mayor Jolliffe says have nothing against Les as can didate for mayor but think it would be crying shame if any position was filled by acclama Lion in city of 21000 Ill be disappointed if there are not more than three candidates in ward one One of the things Lcs Joliiffe will go after if he is elected is better roads for Barrie we should spend more on capital outlay on roads in the first place and this will save us
