masterpiece of suid the world was hungering turn and practical values The for peace broadcast was one that citizens Mulligan discounted critics of Aurora could feel justly who asserted that Christian proud of idealism was impracticable for Scripture readings including the world of business and from the Psalm man affairs He said reformers arid the Hook of Joshua were were not usually popular and dearly and beautifully read by j though they might not succeed in Dr Mulligan every word being their own day those who came Clearly enunciated and after them did succeed Many emphasized One of

DANGEROUS At a meeting of council held on July 1953 DeputyReeve Murray moved a motion seconded by Councillor Jones that we operate the disposal plant according to procedure as outlined by the department of health and that a full time man he put in charge under our town foreman The motion was carried and the seal of the corporation attached thereto In our issue of July we wrote an article entitled Cooperation Essential in Local Industrial Relations in which we stressed the need for promoting the best possible arrangements with a major Aurora industry and indicated steps which the Collis Leather company had taken over the years to eliminate tannery odors We supported the deputyreeves proposals As though the subject were something new Deputy- Reeve Murray gave a verbal committee report on the disposal plant at the August council meeting and then a motion was carried to hire a man to operate it Dur ing all these weeks since July nothing apparently has been done to carry out the health departments recom mendations Looks like smart business doesnt it STEPS IN DRIVEWAY A remarkable piece of engineering work can he seen at the residence of Mr J Cowling 20 St where steps have actually been placed in the owners driveway Mr Cowling sent a letter to council pro testing this faulty work and the matter was left in the hands of the Streets Committee At a residence next door north of Mr Cowling a good job has been done where the steps to the front entrance have been laid in from the sidewalk Why this was not done in the case of Mr Cowling is difficult to understand In wet weather the approach to the home will be through mud To remedy matters now an aperture will have to be cut through the cement re taining wall AMENDING BYLAWS Notice of amendment of certain bylaws was given by Councillor Moffat at the last meeting of council Included was notice of a bylaw authorizing the placing of No Parking signs on the west side of Yonge north from the last meter the last meter being placed about the Aurora Automotive to Irwin Ave Since there are at present meters on this narrow aide walk north beyond the Aurora Automotive it would appear that they will now be removed That would be sensible thing to do On this narrow sidewalk a pedes trian recently remarked that it was almost necessary to walk sideways TAKE THEM OUT If as it appears the meters are to be removed north of the Aurora Automotive on the west side of it would he wise to remove the meters north of on the east sidewalk We understand the present bylaw does not in any case authorize their installation there The wisest course of all would be to remove- all the meters north of stop lights where originally they never were intended to ho in stalled Jiving the town an appearance of a concen tration camp creates a bad atmosphere for business Main Street excepted there are places of business where there are meters while others are exempted- That looks like discrimination NOT ENOUGH TIME Drove is not time allowed in Urn of the lights on the and Wellington intersection Thorn is enough time in the changing the lights going north and south although wo have received complaints that the change from the umber to the green and red lights is too quick complaints have been received from motorists Wo do Know as a pedestrian that tho pause is much too short for the intersection You to inovo on speedy foot or run for it Tho allowance for intersection should in interests of bo as much as it is for the main highway NO POLITICS Politics should play no part in municipal elections or in tho council chamber As far Aurora town council is concerned it has from our observation tho past years been conducted to party affiliations For that it must given full credit of council whoso political affiliations if any unknown to us That is good proof of impartial municipal representation members of council whoso party affilia tions known to us But we have never soon any evldonco of their political loyalties in their conduct of affairs of municipality They have carried out their duties as representative of the as a whole We mention thia in to those members of coun cil who took a hand In the recent federal election which In our opinion was their perfect right WHAT THEY ARE SAYING In Aurora Mystery Of New Business As we sat at the radio last Sunday morning from am to aeon while the service from St

We were reminded of the ser mon of long ago by the subject- matter of Dr Mulligans address which like Dr Brookes abounded with literary quota tions Dr Mulligan is a very unconventional minister who can talk the language of the ordin ary man But he is also widely rend in the literature of several countries and a scholar who has won degrees and distinctions the hard way He knows life from tunny angles from the rich to the very poor from luxury to penury It is not difficult to read a formal prayer from the hook But it requires both heart and soul to say a prayer in original One of Dr Mulligans prayers included miners whose couriTslDELreHfs lions But interested as he was in such concessions he had heard nothing about it Why mystery Another Closed Meeting There was another closed meeting of council the other Sat urday morning Of course you can guess what it was concerned with the county seat The ironical side to these closed meetings is that they arent closed for long Very early they are being discussed along the street They seem to get further than the street in no time at all We were interested in reading In Era and press that our Newmarket col league could report
