buried in the Anglican Cemetery on Eagle Street Armed with this information I went along to find his tomb stone and what a disappointment to discover that only two stones remained several being left in a pile all broken and the ceme tery in a state of decay Presum ably this old graveyard was once consecrated and this alone should sufficient to make sure it did not fall into disuse but more than this it is among your most im portant historical landmarks and must be preserved at all cost In all parts of Ontario today a growing interest is being shown in these old locations which tell us so much about Canadas early history and town councils ser vice clubs and local historical societies are making big contri butions towards their upkeep At Sharon where David Will- son the fountjer of The Children of Peace is buried the cemetery is properly fenced and well pre served and what this small com munity can do Newmarket could do much more easily Having celebrated your well organized centennial so success fully would it not be possible to mark the occasion for posterity by making sure these historical sites are properly preserved A start with the Eagle Street cem etery would be an excellent way of taking the plunge If the cannot he replaced in their correct order which is imposs ible now could the town erect a DOMINION JAMBOREE LUCKY DODGER NUMBERS If you have one of these Lucky Dodgers bring it to Cliff Mens Wear store in Newmarket and receive your Free Double Pass to Jamboree care was taken that only people directly concerned as fo- example in the case of money by laws and a mature vote of the citizen ratepayers along the pave ments should record their views Now of course it need hardly bo stressed that nothing in Vale of Tears is perfect nor anywhere near that Utopian tar get so probably the best demo cratic mechanism availabe to us is the principle of the twothird majority being needed to estab lish the sovereign will of the people in a mature vote So therefore assuredly there would be folk to vote against the Cana dian Wheat Board and in favor of reopening the speculative fu tures market in wheat On the other hand I am satis fied that no one knows better than those same speculative grain traders at Winnipeg that as the CFA Canadian Federation of Agriculture phrased it in their recent meeting with the federal cabinet February The Canadian experience with board marketing of wheat oats and bar ley during the last few years should have and we believe in fact has placed this system of marketing for these crops defin itely in the noncontroversial ca tegory as far as Canada is con cerned Be that as it may where your famed columnists thought regis ters concerning the possibilities inherent in a mature vote tempts this reader to commend the idea to present federal authorities on Parliament Hill in attempting to deal with the fol lowing thoughts from the same brief submitted by nations organized farmers to the previous government The Canadian Fe deration of Agriculture recom mends that the Canadian Wheat Board he permanently establish ed as the sole marketing agency for all grains produced in Western Canada including flax and rye and regrets that such provision has not been made Yes sir a vote on this latter proposition would be most reveal ing I suggest that the per cent required majority among a mature vote of those prairie growers would be what Junior likes to describe as a breeze oAc em Councillor stated if he owned land in the area and wish ed to develope it commercially and council tried to enforce by law he would go to law and make things very uncomfortable for council also if every time council wished to enact or repeal a bylaw they had to consult var ious groups bylaws would be passed and the business of town would come to a stand still In answer to this we would say hat here is a direct contradict ion in one instance Mr what he would do and in he other what everyone else not be allowed to do also as Mr stated he would o to law if he found himself af- cted by bylaw then it is some teeth were put into bylaws On Monday night we saw an example as to how bylaw 616 been violated over the years wo cases were before council were effected by a bylaw in one case council ave the applicant permission the Mr being among those in fav or of the bylaw being violated n the second instance where the had just as good a for asking permission to a structure the council re cused permission Mr vot ing with those who refused to grant permission In our humble opinion if the first applicant was granted per mission then the second applicant should also have been granted as the reason for wish ing to erect this type of structure double garage was that the by law made it difficult to erect two single garages and still maintain the distance between hem as re quired by law One of the statements Mr made while speaking on the issue of bylaw was that al though our town was 100 years old it retained a charm of its own due to the fact that it just as opposed to the conform ity and monotony of modern de velopments which seem to be part of our present day life To retain certain areas as re sidential need not make them appear monotonous These resi dential areas need not be row up on row of identical house The design and elevation of homes can be such as to create a sense of individualism without having a commercial or industrial de velopment dotted here and there to break the monotony and add a bit of charm If Mr remarks on the question of character and charm of the town being retained have been correctly interpreted by us then all we can say is that any zoning bylaw that Mr may have a say in is going to be a This lettfr should not be in terpreted as a feeling of illwill towards Mr on the con trary we feel that although wel may not agree with the views expressed by Mr we rea lize that he Is acting in what he feels is in the best interests of the town Lyons Ratepayers Association are not decapitated by the stones from the wheels when they take off again I further submit thai the intent and purpose of the law which is alleged to have been violated was to provide for the orderly and safe merging or crossover of traffic at main intersections It should be noted also that that day in question was a cold raw miserable one when there was practically no traffic on any of the roads or pedestrians either to impede the progress of any vehicle I respctfully suggest that the intent or purpose of the law was in no way violated if and when the said offense took place Yours truly S A Little Commissioner for the taking of Oaths Province of Ontario Mr Editor rase 3 This is a personal letter in re ply to your editorial of a few weeks ago when you asked whe ther I was giving my unofficial notice of retirement from coun cil Mr Editor as the situation is as of now my answer to you and the Boag subdivision is that I will not shamed into anything by your paper or their criticisms This situation has arisen from my actions in trying to keep a promise which I made at the time Of the plebiscite that is that I would do all I could to have the liquor outlets situated so they would be to the most advantage to our Main St merchants Ap parently you or the Boag subdi vision people do not believe in an honest representative in coun cil Mr Editor the town took over the Boag subdivision premature ly only to please the people in that subdivision There had been no action from the to improve roads and services Al so at a cost of per house the town installed sewers Since then the people in the subdivision have been petitioning council for the most absurd things such as the 146 Victoria Street town supplying top soil grading The Era and Express

contention is that it you are I also know of people who have i right and at election time the paid taxes and local improvement Boag subdivision is against me the town this year There are people living in the Sunny Hills subdivision who were born and raised here who fought for their country and came home to build their own homes They had pride in Mew- market Those people arc still waiting after ten years and more for sidewalks and sewers but they have enough intelligence to realize that at the moment it raises everyones taxes not only their own For this reason they do not wish to burden the town

PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE REMOVAL OF THEIR NEWMARKET OFFICE TO 2SSA Main St Telephone TW Newmarket J Jackson Resident Partner Telephone TW Dear Sir Auguat 1057 On Monday August 26 the town council discussed the first reading of a bylaw to repeal by law When council discussed the motion two weeks ago the vote was 62 in favor of retain ing it Since then it appears that cer tain other councillors have had second thoughts on the matter However one of the sponsors of the motion Mr seemed unrelenting in his efforts to have this bylaw repealed and was most emphatic on the issue Since Councillor remarks seem ed to us to contain certain con tradictious it would be very in teresting to study them Mr Ridler stated that bylaw has been ignored and violat ed so often it is not worth re taining In answer to this we would say that it has been the fault of previous councils who have turn ed a blind eye or given permiss ion for the erection of nonresi dential buildings in residential areas RAYS

or sidewalks When municipal politics be come so dirty and involved that any member of council has to be careful of what he says so the press wont publicize him or so that he must cater to one group of people because of the voting potential and so that he will be elected the next term then that person is not a proper represent ative of the people of a munici pality Any remarks of mino in regard to
