WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1985, PAGE 15 Co nmïtteetuarns down grant for Salvation Army Whitby Town Coun- cil's operations commit- tee las turned down a grant request froin the Salvation Armny despite one councillor's attempt to persuade them otherwise. Reg. Coun. Tom Ed- wards suggested to the committee Monday night that a grant of $500 be given to the Salvation Army to aid in Oie various social programns undertaken by the Salvation Army. Edwards said that the church gives a great deal of aid to under- privileged familles throughout Whitby, especially over the Christmas holiday period. However, donations to the Salvation Army were lower this year than previous years, primarily because of the attention to the famine plagued areas of eastern Africa. "We ahl know the job that they do," Edwards said adding, *"1 recoin- The gift of life Jacqueline Dube was one of 312 local residents who turned out to "Give the gift of 11e" at the blood donor clinic held last week by the Whitby branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society.

However, other mem- bers of the committee wouldn't go along with Edwards' proposal. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for Oie Salvation Army," remarked Coun. Joe Drumm, "But we worked hard on our budget and I just can't support for that reason ... very reluctan- tly, I might add. " Mayor Bob Attersley said that he always gives to the Salvation Army when they corne to caîl at his home and that if the committee wanted to give> thein a Note: grant, ho was prepared to donate his share of Oie $500 out of his salary as mayor. "I'm prepared to give my share of Oie $500 out of my pay as mayor," he said adding Oiat lie too, doesn't want to give grants that are not already provided for in the town's 1985 budget. Coun. Joe Bugelli, chairman of Oie operations committee, also opposed Edwards' motion noting that "4council has re- affirmed its position on grants." He noted that the Salvation Amy is a member of the United Way and does receive money from them. Bugelli noted that if Oie town gave to the Salvation Amy thon it would have to consider giving to the St. Vincent de Sales Socioty and the social service arm of the Anglican Church as well. He also said he didn't want to chose who gets grants and who doesn't. "It 19 flot our perview to be- the moral con- scious of the taxpayer," he said. However, Edwards' countered these arguements saying that many of the services provided by the army would have to be provided by the tax- *EIigibiIity *'Residence ilomir a . ium, lu, all n fl ww Cu.u.lJ...
