new car which had been stolen from Tom and Sons Ltd on Monday July 26 was found abandoned early the following morning in The youth was apprehended in Barrie and pleaded guilty to the charges Dear Sir Being unable to reply to your astonishing charges published last week at the next meeting of the town council I am writing you now I make no retractions You as well as everyone else in town ought to know by now that the members of the library board I charge with being inclined are Mr and Dr Vandcrvoort If you ask Why cast reflection upon the whole board because of a small minority the answer is because these two gentlemen seem to be responsible for the boards policy in regard to the matter of the new library building It was Mr who told me that if the council insists on changing the architect of his choice he will resign from the library board And it is that ar chitect Mr Vine who tried to wish on us a lot of fancy trim mings such as builtin shelves which called for expensive extra thick walls public toilets in the basement a lecture room and what not It was Mr McMorrow who had a fancy model of the future library built for our edi fication As if we the people of Newmarket were not intelligent enough to read plans and draw ings already paid for How much of all this was done or attempted to he done by Dr Vandervoort is unknown to me But since he is the chairman of the board hold him equally responsible Pago Col THURSDAY AUG in Aurora Canadian Legion hall Special games games Time sharp In aid of the Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary FRIDAY AUG Presentation and dance King City
