"Bradford councillor Fred Cook has been transferred out of the intensive care unit of York County Hospital after suffering a mild coronary April 6. Mr. Cook is now on the medical floor and is progressing. He was taken to Newmarket by ambulance following a mild heart attack. The attack aggravated his diabetes condition. Mrs. Cook told The Witness that her husband is feeling better but it will be a while yet before he is released."
"Deputy Reeve Fred Cook has decided to run for council in this year's election. 'I've served for 10 or 12 years as deputy reeve. I think it's time to let someone else have a shot at it, but I'd still like to serve on council,' said Mr. Cook. Born and raised in Bradford, the town has been the centre of the candidate's whole life. 'I have a natural interest in the developments affecting the future of the town. It's pretty certain we are going to grow unless growth is restricted by the government. I'm not against growth, but I think it's essential we don't grow too fast or too soon. As we grow, we must set up and maintain the essentials for growth, from our schools to our sewers,' said Cook. Cook said his greatest interest, outside his work and politics, has been Christian education. In 1962, he received a national citation for Christian education by a Canadian from the department of Christian Education from the Canadian Council of Churches. He has also served as a lay reader in the Anglican Church since 1934."
