Abroad and at home, he is probably Canada's best-known mayor. As a businessman, he has worldwide interests. His instinct for swapping ani- mals to populate the local zoo would make a horse - trader drool with envy. In recent years he has be- come a collector of water foun- tains and hiss ig on be- half of Granby parks strikes fear wherever goes.

He has been re-elected unop- posed ever since except in 1958 when he won with a comfort- able margin over a lone op- ponent. READY TO GROW The walls of the city council room are lined with big maps showing future town planning developments, road networks and the like. "We know exactly where we'll be 20, 15 or 25 years from now," " he said.

HIDE THE FOUNTAIN After his world tour in 1957, Prime Minister Diefenbaker made a speech here in which he recalled that in many places he was asked whether he knew Horace Boivin. Mr. Diefenbaker said he told: 'Whenever he comes here, we hide all our fountains or lock them up, otherwise he would go away with them." "T love old fountains," said Mr. Boivin, laughing, "I can't resist them and collecting them is my big hobby. I would like Granby to be known as the hall, a civic banquet, three sup-/City of Fountains." Taking a reporter on a Sat- urday afternoon motor tour of parks, co-operative housing de> velopments and industrial sites, spotted a home-owner work- ing on his lawn around what name " tong has|appeared to be an ornate foun- been associated with public life/tain "I's not Pog said the a wash basin they were jas at the plant. tween 1918 and 1930 and Lib-/t brought it home, spruced it eral MP from 1926 to 1930, a post held continuously since 1945 and now sconnected ates ae tain." Horace Boivin has turned) « splendid," beam == down many offers of political hae ee vas, Peer amannen® : =|candidacy by various parties. CATCHING ON As he drove away, he added: 7 "People used to laugh when I started collecting fountains but think the idea of making Granby the City of Fountains is catching on." Collecting old fountains in Y\Europe is easy, he said, "You just mention to the local authorities that it would be a nice frien gesture if they would give Granby an old foun- tain they're not using." Among others, Granby has a Roman fountain 2,200 years old and a Greco-Roman fountain that adorned an Athens square 3,200 years ago. Mayor Boivin is expecting a couple more from Basle, Switzerland, and another from Venice. The slogan-conscious mayor has promoted Granby as the Princess of the Eastern Town- ships (larger Sherbrooke is rec ognized as the queen) and as the City of Parks and Welfare, After the Second World War, during which he served with the 5Y5*Itextiles division of the Wartime Prices Board, Granby was, like other towns, suffering from @ housing shortage.
