business seeks recognition by bruce stapley stouffville in a debate that showed the basic philosophic al differences held by council members with regard to off main street businesses approval was given oct 13 for park drive antiques to erect a sign on main directing people to their location on park drive north the business community pro vides a valuable service to this town stated mayor fran sains- bury i see no reason why we should make things difficult for them irv and nancy brcwda owners of the antique showroom on park drive had applied to council for a minor variance to the towns sign bylaw that prohibits the erection of new signs directing traffic to off main street businesses both councillors jim sanders and wilf morley were adamantly opposed to the application being discussed let alone approved these people probably paid less for a commercial property off main street than on claimed sanders they shouldnt expect the same amenities to which a main street commercial site is entitled several members suggested areas like park drive north should never have been zoned commercial in the first place however councillor ron robb visibly irritated by the length of the debate claimed the town should have downgraded these properties prior to their purch ase he charged that mr and mrs brewda were deserving of the same privileges as any other com mercial site owner i see nothing wrong with a few side streets downtown having attractive little businesses and attractive signs commented councillor margot marshall mayor sainsbury charged mr sanders with assuming loo much in his claim that offstreet com mercial properties sell for less than those on main this argu ment was supported by the appli cants having paid the price wc did for the property we wouldnt have gone for it had we known we wouldnt be entitled to the same rights as commercial businesses on main mr brewda said he denied a sign at the corner of park drive and main would cre ate any traffic congestion on their street youll find a lot more traffic at the numerous yard sales held on the front lawns of residential properties any saturday than well attract he stated fairs immediate pastpresident

adults si children refreshments will be served editors mail charity provided in canada too dear editor apart from a few ambi guities surrounding mr wj winklers letter to the editor published in the tribunes oct 7 issue one senses he has a definite interest in the wel fare of canadian widows and orphans however a little investiga tion would have saved him from the insult he threw at those who sold the democrat for the african widows and orphans members who once owned the democrat are very com mitted to canadian widows and orphans as well by provid ing food and help for the home less both in this locale and others they maintan a viable mission to widowers and widows each wednesday of the year their interest in african widows and orphans is only an extension of the work already being done here in canada it is my hope that mr wink- lers interest in the widows the needy and the underpri- vileged in canada is not re- duced to attacks on charity organizations but that he too is doing something about their plights for to speak and not to act makes us empty barrels causing much noise sincerely david k mensah rr 3 stouffville farm replicas completed from memory a display of farm
