wednesday june 13 1984 sb5 band stand nears completion councillor tom wood left and re- a pleasant surprise in the way of a 75 creation coordinator marlene mckee donation for the bicentennial fund pre- wetheral inspected the towns new band sented by doug weddel manager of stand last thursday they also received stouffvilles toronto dominion bank editors mail resident defends his home town dear sir the article entitled uxbridge guests please beware in the may 30 edition of your paper has come to my attention and after reading it i am truly amazed this article was written by a former aspirant for mayor of this town dr morley pitts and i cant decide if the tone of this article was to be sour grapes or premayoralty campaign vitriol either purpose strikes me as unprofessional and in extreme bad taste this article attacks my home town and therefore me so i feel personally com pelled to refute these irresponsible claims first as to the dislike of preserving his torical things i feel the opposite is true friends meeting house uxbridgescott museum and the commercial hotel pro ject immediately spring to mind as exam ples of preserving our past sadly not all old buildings can be preserved as is the case everywhere pot holes dust and dirt dr pitts must remember are part of a rural community such as ours surrounded by farmland and gravel operations however he might have mentioned how clean the streets were after being washed by our firefighters and the fact the town recently aquired a power street sweeper or that the main sidewalks are hand swept daily yes there are a multitude of green garbage bags lining the street but this is at 730 in the morning and they are picked up shortly afterwards somewhat the same as yonge street in downtown toronto addressing matters of private enter prise im sure progress in this field is slow er than we would like but definite gains have been made such as the explosion- proof lighter factory he mentioned and if council seems to abandon their develop ment plan it is mostly to try and accommo date any worthy proposal forwarded bell canada is certainly a thorn in our side here since we are served by antiquated equip ment at low rates and while goodwood and points south are indeed long distance i have personally called clear across town and on occasions to port perry udora claremont and mount albert at local charge the ludicrous comparison made between markham and uxbridge is like comparing apples and oranges as one is on the doorstep of toronto and enjoys the highest per capita income in canada and is experiencing tremendous commercial and residential development while we are a town tour for seniors stouffville a country tour to include points of interest in whitchurch- stouffville will be one of the activities

and sheila jones 6401911 all events arc free of charge the program coordinator is tom wood of ballantrae small community on the toronto commut ing fringe with little to attract major de velopment which would spoil our small town atmosphere the attack dr pitts makes on the mayor personally is not my affair but it seems juvenile for him to ridicule the office he himself was seeking in conclusion as a happy resident in this clean rural slowly progressive little town that has enough local character to make life interesting pleasant and sometimes testy i challenge dr pitts to move iito this town or even into this township ard prac tice his business full time soak up the uni que character of this town for a couple of years and then state his opinion of my home town sincerely david h jones
