president of the Association Municipalities of Ontario want to establish dnnkiig driving committees in communities across Ontario address the problem and decide what the most ef fective measures are to combat the problem in each community In a letter to Newmarket and East Gwillimbury councils the proposal was outlined We believe that it would be counterproductive for any provincial government to attempt to impose any specific program on any community Common sense tells us we cannot necessarily treat Toronto like Timmins or London like North Bay Both councils agree that such a committee would be a good idea in the town and feel there are citizens who would agree to serve on such a committee If somebody was interested in sitting on the committee wed be more than pleased to establish it said Gwillimbury Mayor Angus Morton recently He added that he received calls before Chnstmas from local residents concerning the threeyear sentence given Francis Donald of Keswick following a fatal accident on Woodbine Ave last June which took the life of Philip Long of Anyone in East Gwillimbury interested in serving on a drinkingdriving committee should contact Mayor Morton or the town clerk
