stouffville resident inquired quite innocently if i thought tory mpp frank kjees would make a good mayor houses divided have you noticed how many residen tial properties in whitchurchstqugville have two election signs supporting different parties i assume to keep peace in the family one is for the husband and the other for his wife head start mayoralty candidate steve pliakes a resi dent of pine orchard is obviously making inroads among vot ers in urban stouffville being first off the mark when the elec tion gun sounded the ward 1 representative is spending a lot of time in town meeting and greeting people at every turn theres one plank in the pliakes platform with which i dis agree its his desire to establish a youth centre it didnt work before arid it wont work again while rural whitchurch may have a need in stouffville our churches serve this purpose and serve it well perfect timing im not saying the projects were planned for an election year but road and sidewalk improvements on baker avenue in stouffville wont do ward 5 candidate harry bowes any harm nor will the new sidewalk on the south side of millard street down to st brigid school if mr bowes could only
