Jl i- In s y i r w A A J y i v J ViB stand Both the mayor and Mr Murray received reprimands from the Banner The position now is that Chairman Underfill and ViceChairman Cousins have publicly declared their intention to resign from the arena board which means that the work Which has not been carried out by the old board will have to be taken by its successor Against this background of long neglect and apparent in competency Lion Archie Cousins proceeded to the Aurora lions club on Tuesday night Nov to deliver himself of a load of invective and personal abuse dir ected at the editor of the Aurora News Page Apparently search ing for the most sensational des cription it could find the Banner wrote of Lion Archie Cousins lashing out at the Aurora editor of the Newmarket Era and commencing another paragraph lashing out at the editor of the Aurora Page Presumably the Banner took great satisfaction at this lashing out At the Lions club where high ethical standards form a part Of the obligations imposed on new members Lion Archie Cousins delivered himself of what he des cribed as an old adage It was to this effect The more you stir a dirty thing the worse it stinks As the Banner reports it that is what Lion Archie Cousins told his fellow Lions and as far as we are concerned we readily acknowledge his greater knowledge of odors and degrees of odors- And we have I no quarrel with the old adage I quoted Lion Archie Cousins being situated it is in the Banner The Cap Fits Lion Archie Cousins told the Lions that we had written col umns about how I attacked him before council Lion Cousins flatters himself We have pre viously written no columns about him since we are not aware that his contributions to public service warrant any such use of valuable newspaper space He claimed that the cap must have fit We have seen no cap But we are generously obliging him Continued from Page now with some publicity We did see his old adage and some more verbal garbage which he unloaded on his audience Such for example as his allega tion that but for the abuse likely to be handed out by Mr Sinclair business and professional men would have offered themselves for office We have never hand ed out abuse to any person a proceeding that could be defama tory and therefore libellous We exercise more caution in the use of the English language than that displayed by Lion Archie Cous ins who in trie instance under review appears to have been moved by an excess of irrespons ible emotion rather the force of reason and Over the years we from time to time found it necessary in the public interest to criticize the proposals the actions and lack of action of elected When we such a course we have at all times supported it by the presentation of substantiating evidence but never have we indulged per sonal attack or what Lion Archie OFF THE RECORD Continued from Page doctors interception of In the corridor in the old high school on the evening of Nov background was material to what took place It concerned criticism of planning board ac tivities we had continued to make in editorials and other features for several months In the Banner Because of these criticisms we had incurred the accumulative displeasure and other members his board We were some had been Banner publisher to oft O Chief among these subjects if was a sufedivlsioit bylaw which three readings

Was the through covin- calls -BlftlliSircii- the same found it necessary to support criticisms of those tacked on inactive arena board and it now appears that Mr Underbill and Mr Cousins have found that the cap fits Hav ing belatedly discovered with what exactitude the headgear suits its wearers they have decid ed to quit We wish them well in their retirement However he was curious to know where we had derived our knowledge of planning and we replied that it had been gained from reading literature on the subject After all we said if one can read one can get plenty of material on the sub ject We suggested that our talk would make Interesting Article that our conversation be regarded as oft the syr strong exception to word veto which we had a Banner af ter the had teen passed by the council We the word exactly fitted a situation in which a property owner- might find him self In the event of his desiring to take certain steps with it which would have been legally prior to the passing of the We made no the use of the word do so now or almost an hour the battle of words continued being some times hot and sometimes cold Finally suggested that Or and ourselves should debate these matters in public Why should I debate these mat ters with you he asked in a tone from which indignation was not entirely absent Because we think it would interest public we replied But he did not accept our challenge Dr will no doubt re call his- saying that he had got a lot of things off his chest that he had long wanted to get off it arid felt very happy about it Again shaking hands he very kindly gave us an invitation to take tea with him further to continue the discussion We have found that invitations to tea arc often of a fickle nature though in this instance we have no doubt that its failure to ma terialize is entirely our own fault l B WHITELAW Stationery Wallpapers Select Range Of Greeting Cards etc Agent For Era Classified Ads X St Aurora T Vi SS r OIL BURNER SALES AND SERVICE I Esao
