Brooks, Hanna, MacCarl In Race For New Whitb WHITBY (Staff) - "Lets al- low the summer to get over," said Whitby Mayor Desmond Newnan when asked if he would run for mayor of the amalga- mated Whitby. In a survey by The Oshawa Times, only three of 14 mem- bers serving on the councils of Whitby town and township in- dicated they would definitely contest a seat on the new 1l- member council. They are: Whitby Reeve George Brooks, who says he will seek re - elec- tion: Whitby township Deputy- Reeve Godon Hanna, who says he will contest the position of reeve or deputy - reeve; Whitby councillor Vernon MacCarl, who says he will seek election as a Ward 2 councillor. Township Reeve Heber Down said it would not be a good thing if all members of the pre- sent councils were voted out of office but he did not commit himself to running: The election is four months ee GEORGE BROOKS «+» Running for Reeve away, On Saturday, Dec. 9, the combined population of 22,786 will decide who will govern the amalgamated town for the first two years. The new council will consist of a n.ayor, reeve, deputy reeve and eight councillors, two from each of the four newly created wards in the new municipality. John Goodwin who lost the race for reeve against Mr. Down said there was a strong possibility he would not run for the new council. "I'm afraid the average working guy won't be able to afford the time away from work to do a good job and a great deal of policy de- cisions will have to be made', he said. Former Whitby mayor and now the town's fire chief War- ren Mowat said he would not comment at this time on whe- ther or not he will run in the election. Mr. Mowat is a Ward 3 resident and served the town council for seven years. Nominations for the new coun- cil will be held at the Anderson Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute on Nov. 20 from 7 to 8 p.m. TRIADETICS AT CENTENNIAL CARAVAN FORM STRANGE PATTERN All present council members were asked about their plans.

Robert Attersley a Ward 2 resident who has served on council for three years and one year as deputy reeve, said if he decides to run it will be for the position of deputy reeve.

This would enable the Attor- ney-General's department to determine what steps should be taken. No charges are to be laid at the time of the offence by investigating offi- cers, magistrates, law association and solicitors to get their views on the principle to be adopted for the proposed new building.

"What a plan. Build your own home for $15,000 on a $9,000 lot: Houses today cost about $13 per square foot." In an interview, New Demo-. cratic Party candidate Clifford Pilkey described HOME as "just the typical move by the government which is faced with a crisis and which should have been aware of this well in ad- vance." He said it "appears to be nothing but an election gim- mick to fool the citizens of Ontario." Mr, Pilkey added HOME will not meet Ontario's home shortage situation this year or in the near future, 'HOME isn't going to come anywhere near meeting the deficiency or lack of homes." COUNTER-ATTACK Incumbent riding representa- tive, Albert Walker, today lodged a counter-attack saying the HOME program was well received by 'fa large number of citizens in the various areas in which the program was in- troduced." The government announced this week that a total of 2,184 serviced lots would be offered across the province under HOME--a scheme Mr. Walker describes as one devised to home sible by removing "prohibitive downpayment burdens."

Mr. Dennis was given one month with the possibility of an extension to pay the fine, which was about 125 per cent of the total tax evaded. - Magistrate C, A, Thorburn said the developer had used "devious means" to evade paye ing taxes, but was taking into account when passing sentence that Mr. Dennis was already paying the tax arrears with in- terest. Of the total penalty, $2,100 was for 21 charges against com- panies owned by Mr. Dennis and the remainder for 21 per- sonal evasion charges. Earlier, Armando Manfredy, a revenue department investiga- tor, had told the court Mr. Den- nis had altered records of apart- ment buildings he owned. He said personal expense in- |voices were altered to show as company expenses. Mr. Manfredy said his three- year investigation also uncov- ered records indicating work done on buildings owned by Mr. Dennis which in fact had not been done. The charges, laid against Mr. Dennis by RCMP April 28, were on two information sheets. more than four feet long. Accident-Free Day Reported By Police A spokesman for the Whitby Ontario Provincial Police de- tachment reported this morn- ing that there has been a com- plete absence of accidents of any kind in its territory since Tuesday at 7.45 p.m. Constable Gary Chapman re- ported that there had not even been so much as "a fender bender' or property damage accident. He explained that it was very rare for the OPP to go through a summer day with- $6,500. out an accident.
