"WHITBY And DISTRICT VOTED DOWN Agreement Dissolved County Quits EMO Ontario County Council voted Tuesday to dissolve its agree- ment with Oshawa and with- drew from the joint Emergency Measures Organization at the end of the fiscal year. Council's assessment stand- ing committee, the committee responsible for recommending the withdrawal from the joint committee, recommended. the setting up of an Ontario Coun- ty Emérgency Measures 'Organ- ization. ; The recommendation was turned down by a vote of 23-10, leaving the county without an EMO at the end of the fiscal yearm However, it is 'expected the committee will recommend the setting. up of a county EMO again today. Reeve Sherman Scott, of Pickering Township moved an amendment to the resolution calling for the setting up of an Ontario Cunty EMO and re- Mr. ,Quantrill suggested there is equal representation of bot! the county and city on the joint EMO committee, therefore Osh- awa cannot alone decide policy. A tie vote is a lost vote, he pointed out. Reeve Heber Down, of Whitby Township said Oshawa is where the hospital and doctors are and the. county contributed to the new wing building fund and if- anything does happen, Osh- awa is where emergency meas- ures are needed. Mrs. Lovelock charged Co. Wotton "takes things on him- self and does not. take direc- tion. from county council. We need someone who knows what he is doing to head up a coun- ty EMO," she said. | Reeve Patrick J. Sheean, of| Ajax, said the joint organiza-) tion job "is too big for Col.) | did not vote. Council's consti- ution states every member in his seat must vote when a vote 's called for. Mrs. Lovelock had abstained from the voting. She said she wasn't going to vote for some- thing she didn't understand. However, she said, she did not wish to see EMO abandoned in the county. Committee chairman Norman Hogg, Uxbridge Township dep- uty reeve ruled the voie invalid. On the second vote, Mr. Mor- ley's motion was defeated by a 24-14 vote: On a vote on the recommend- ation to withdraw, 21 were in favor and 17 opposed. Mr. Scott requested a re- corded vote. The result: yes, 28; no 8. Mr. Down suggested all the votes were "confusing." In 'favor of remaining in thie Wotton, but that was meant to|joint EMO were Quantrill and Ontario County Council voted 18-10 against the endorsation o! a United Counties, Preston anc Russell, resolution calling for serious consideration by the fed eral government of the advis- ability of legalizing lotteries in Canada. A provision contained in the Preston-Russell resolution was that profits from the lotteries are to be utilized exclusively for the benefit of charitable institu- tions and hospital grants. Whitby's deputy reeve, George Brooks said he was not in agreement with the recom- mendation of the finance com- mittee, that the council could not endorse the resolution, Mr. Brooks said there is both legalized and illegal gambling in Canada and in Ontario. He pointed out that it is perfectly legal to go to a race track and place bets at the window, but it is strictly illegal to bet with 'bookies"', "Furthermore," he - said, "'sweepstake tickets can be pur- chased almost anywhere.

Parick F, Sheehan, Ajax reeve, said the time has come 'n this country when people have to stop being 'legal hypo- crites", "If the government: is pre- pared to take money for tax out of lottery monies coming 'nto the country, then it ig time to make lotteries legal in Canada. I am in complete agreement with legalized lotteries,' Mr. Sheehan said. . Sherman Scott, reeve of Pick- ering Township said if lotteries are legal for one thing, then they should be legal for all things. Scugog Township's reeve Cecil Fralick agreed with Mr. Scott. He said if lotteries are to be legalized 'let's not hide behind icharitable skirts. How much money do you think will stop going out of the country if lot- teries become egalized,". he said. ; Port Perry's reeve J. J.

Murderer' Gets Three Months Described as a 'potential murderer' by Magistrate Crawford W- Guest, a Toronto man, who drove the wrong way on Highway 401, with only one headlight, was Tuesday sen- tenced to three months on a dangerous driving charge. The incident, for which Peter; Roman Gurga, 25, 3017 Queen streei, was sentenced indirectly resulted in a fatal accident which claimed the life of six- year-old Alexander Maresch, of Kitchener, Oct. 6, near the Rit- son road interchange. Hugh Charles Martin, of Brighton, a transport driver, said he was driving east on Highway 401 on the morning of Oct. 6 when he saw a car ap- proach in the passing lane. He testified that the car had only one headlight operating. The witness said the car swerved to avoid him and came to a halt beside his truck on the median. Just then, Martin said, he felt a bump and on in- vestigation discov: that a car had driven into the rear of his trailer, aval eres ener, German speaking, driver) of: the damaged car told the court, through an interpreter, that he struck the right hand corner of the truck which was parked on the passing lane of the highway. Passengers in the Borrmann vehicle were Walter and Maria Maresch of Kitchener and their four children. The second youngest, Alexander, died in the crash. : Constable David Simmons of the Whitby Detachment of the OPP said that he arrived at 'he accident scene and found Gurba, "who. seemed in a_ shocked state", : Cpl. Joseph Tulloch of the Whitby Detachment gave evi- turned to the four lane highway inadvertently driving west onto the east bound lane. He said that Gurba had admitted drink- ing four or five pints of beer at his home the previous evening: When called to give evidence Gurba said that he was con- fused by the Harmony road in- terchange. He said that he had not gone to far along the road before he discovered his mis- take. Magistrate Guest said, "any man who drives 'on Highway 401, on the wrong side of the median, proceeding in the wrong direction, with one head- light on and had been drinking, in a 60 mile an hour zone ceér. tainly was driving in a manner dangerous to the public and is nothing but a potential mur- derer. "Had it not been for the vig- ilance and evasive actions of the truck driver you would have committed suicide. Fines seem to be nothing but a licence to drive carelessly on the high- ways therefore I sentence you to three months in jail."

Whitby's reeve Everett Quan- trill caarged the assessment committee never gives any rea- sons for its recommending the county withdraw from the or- ganization and suggested, pos- sibly, it was because the com. mittee members '"'just wished to spend another day at county) council. The committee, he said, just says "'Let's get out. - Council spends more money deciding to stay in." Whitby Township's deputy reeve, Mrs. Myrtle Lovelock, suggested that council mem- bers should attend the EMO meetings to 'see what the money is being spent on." She charged that Oshawa {Sheehan said. | He said we (county council) | can still have our own EMO} and it would be more effec-| tive: He said it was proven in three hours early in the year that Ontario County cannot} have a joint EMO. Early in the| year, in three hours, he. said, it} jwas '"'we're in," 'we're out') jand '"'we're in again." | Reeve J. J Gibson, of Port! Perry, said he had to agree} that the joint EMO did not| work out the way council had) hoped it would, but all munici- palities have been asked ot help themselves. "How many have," he said. He added that information has been made available to all municipalities how many have availed themselves of the information.

Mr. Gibson presented a peti- tion to Pickering Township Council asking that it do all in its power to prevent the new and improved county road from running through Brougham. He told' the county council Tuesday that the governing body of his native township sug- gested county council be con- tacted by the ratepayers whose names appeared on the petition. Mr. Gibson pointed out that letters had been forwarded to residents of the village asking that they assist in preventing "the Brougham we know today from being mutilated'. The spokesman told county council that the Brougham of tomorrow "will hardly resemble the Brougham of today if the present plans of the county en- gineering department to have Brock road pass through the village are carried out'. "First the wholesale cutting and burning of trees will con- tinue up the Brock road, then the bulldozers and the asphalt machines will tear up and'widen the road by two or three feet. There will be stop lights on the two main corners of Brougham. "The improved highway and the eventual opening of a High- way 401 interchange will send hundreds more automobiles into even bigger traffic jams in Brougham every Friday and Sunday night. "However, anxious motorists will soon discover that by turn- ing down the side streets they can miss the lights, then every street in Brougham will be- come a potential death trap for the village children. There are more than 70 public schools in the village. "This is the new Brougham we will be left with -- because it is cheaper to continue the new highway through the village than to go around it, as was done with Dixon's Hill, on High- way 48, at Greenwood. "Must the citizens of Brougham pay such a price in order for the county to have a 'cheaper' highway. Must we sac- rifice the beauty and safety of our village for this kind of pro- gress?"

The only precaution in this area is a school sign. There is no speed reduction, Mr. Werry said. The situation is not -im- proved by the fact that large trucks are constantly in and out of the Colonial Homes yard and it is impossible: for ¢hesc! trucks to attain the speed limit, thus causing a dangerous area of passing in a "No Passing Zone."
