Home My WebLink AboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-06-06, Page 20I Can testi nd why a presi- dent or a6 Itfrig is assassinated. What 1 ,Ina to understand is why tOW11 Councillors are not aadinnted fairly frequently. In the first case it is usually done by a crank, nut, or fanatic. In the second case it would be done by a group of irate citizens. What is done in many small towns these days in the name of "progress" is so difficult to believe that the mind reels at the prospect. You've all seen it. In a desperate attempt to get bigger and more progressive, towns across Canada have assaulted the eye, the ear, the nose, and plain common sense. I believe the definition of rape is, "Carnal knowledge without consent." If this is so, there is a lot of rape going on in Canada these days, in villages, towns and cities. Again, you've all seen it.

Cut down all the trees. Pave everything that isn't paved. All in the name of those great modern gods, "the car", and "business".'And all with the benign approval of misguided town councillors, who actually believe, in the dim little recesses of their minds, that they are con- tributing to "progress". "Progress" is usually just a synonym for what the town's businessmen want. And what they want is more business, so they can make more money. That's fine. That's their bag. But very often they can apply , pressure and exert influence with results that cynically bulldoze the desires of the average citizen, who is not cognizant of their wheeling and dealing until it's too late.

But on the other band, gg g councillor, a reporter, and citizen, I have seen some of th. dimmest characters in town elected to council because no one else wanted the job. And have seen what they can do to reOce beautiful small town to an Ugly, ' noisy, stinking mess. Bigger isn't necessarily better. In fact, it's usually worser. But many a municipal court. cillor thinks he's going to get int0 the Canadian history boOke something if he helps make bin' town bigger. Too few of thent to think farther than five years ahead. As I suggested, strongest in. fluence on the councillors c010e8 from businessmen. But the lat., ter's closest ally is nearly always the "town engineer". More councillors have been bamboozled by town engineera than there are flies on a dead dog. Your average counCillor doesn't have much teclMical knowledge. Consequently, he Is mystified and awed by Slid' terms as "access road" and "drainage" and "hardtopping" and "right of way". Quite Wrong is the councillor.
