et Era Express J Our Re Write Letters to the editor an always welcome lint the names the writers must be known to the editor Newmarket Ontario 157 Eagle Street July Pear Sir During the Newmarket town council meeting of July a motion was passed accepting the lender to purchase submitted by the Liquor Control Board of On tario for the property lying dir ectly east of the Bell Telephone building on Eagle Street This motion was passed despite Councillors Haskett and Knapton bringing to the other members attention the existing bylaw duly recorded by the On tario Municipal Authorities re stricting development on Street to that of a residential nat ure- Councillor Kent who assumed position of ball carrier for the acceptance of the tender stated that the bylaw had been so often violated that it could no longer considered a transgression is akin to saying because a motorist driving at mph is not apprehended the speeding law no longer exists At the town council meeting held June an application lot a service station on the corn er of Lome and Eagle Streets was rejected because of the danger to passing children en route to the heart Scott school and to the westerly entrance of Lions Park the swimming pool At the meeting held July 8 Councillor Kent stated that there would not Be sufficient traffic to the Liquor Store located a scant block west of the proposed station site to create a safe ty hazard to children but later in he meeting stated that the additional traffic created by the Liquor Store would be an asset to merchants on Main Street Surely it Is Obvious one of these statements Is incorrect and fer vently hope the merchants of Newmarket do not think it pro fitable to barter a dollars busi ness or a thousand dollars busi ness for the broken body or the life of one of our children The writer actively campaigned for the wet cause prior to the recent plebiscite and I sincerely feel the situating of retail Liquor and Beer outlets in Newmarket SUMMER TIME TABLE Effective

Daylight Time Tickets Information at KING GEORGE HOTEL PHONE TW 52305 GRAY COACH LINES Is inevitable and to the welfare of the whole town but surely it is evident any merchant who has offered his customers fafr and honest merchandise at fair and honest prices with proper cour teous service shall not suffer from the locating of the Liquor and Beer Stores anywhere within the town limits The merchant who has offered his customers other treatment than is outlined above will re ceive only his just deserts with the advent of new and honest competition the onus is on the new merchants as they have to prove themselves good or bad Our present merchants have already made their beds Councillor Kent assured the council that he had approached the citizens living in areas adja cent to the proposed location and they had given their approval to this site Through the medium of your paper I would respectfully ask these citizens if they have expressed their approval to con scientiously reconsider their de cision for the safety and welfare of their children Should this sale be finalized and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario be granted permission to build on this site the town coun cil of Newmarket shall be a party to an illegality and responsible for the well being of every child within walking distance of this safety hazard Sincerely Phillips Friends Of The Library Plan Centennial Museum Aug 1518 Plans are being made by the Friends of the Library to hold an historical display of small tides of local interest in the New market Public Library during the centennial

situation we are writing to you with regard to the Appeal of Dr Albert Schweitzer dis tinguished medical missionary philosopher and musician We feel with him that public opin ion will bring an end to the dan gerous Hbomb tests We quote from Dr Schweit zers statement From official and unofficial sources we have been assured time and time again that the increase in radio activity of the air docs not ex ceed the amount which the hu man body can tolerate without any harmful effects This is just evading the issue Even if we are not directly affected by the radioactive material in the air we are indirectly affected through that which has fallen down is falling down and will fall down We are absorbing this through radioactive drinking wa ter and through animal and vege table foodstuffs to the same ex- tent as radioactive elements are stored in the vegetation of the re gion in which we live Unfor tunately for nature hoards what is falling down from the air And again When public opin ion has been created in the coun tries concerned and among all nations an opinion informed of the dangers involved in going on with the tests and led by the rpason which this information imposes then the statesmen may reach an agreement to stop the experiments We urge every one to speak up in every way possible Anyone wishing further information can write to our secretary at Box 218 Station Toronto
