Broadcast The largest meeting for many years on the annual nomination night for Town Council, Friday, Nov. 22, proved disappointing in several particulars. No less than 17 names were formaily accred- ited by Town Clerk Alex Lyle, the presiding officer, as duly pro- posed to contest for the nine çoncil seats for 1947. Reqired to qualify by 9 p.m., Saturday ev- ening, only five filed papers and as it turned out, all were elected by acclamation. The offices of Mayor, Reeve, Deputy Reeve and two councillors were thus conse-, quently filled. A new nomma- tion meeting must now be called to secure candidates for the four remaining council seats. Acclamations Elected were: Mayor, Sidney Little, former Reeve; for Reeve, A. S. Baker, former councillor; Deputy Reeve, Norman. Allison, former councillor; T. A. Garton and Ray Dilling continue as coun- cillors and will occupy first and second positions at the council table. Other offices on the municipal slate included three seats on the Board of Education. Only three names were proposedr, Dr. Har- old Ferguson, W. L. Paterson and D. A. McGregor, present chair- man. Al were re-elected by ac- clamation. Oniy one name Mil- ton J. Eliiott, was submitted for the Public Utilities Commission. He was re-elected by acclamation. Speakers The Mayor and members of the retiring council.addressed the ga- thering on their conduct of the town's business during 1946 and indicated their respective inten- tions in regard to their renomin- ations. By long odds Mayor C. G. Morris was the outstanding figure among those who spoke. Exceptionally well informed he has been the keystone of the council during bis three and a half years' tenure. He vigorously de- fended the present administra- tion and himself took full res- ponsibility for all measures taken. In some particulars he was crit- ical of the local press but in gen- eral he gave a comprehensive picture of the town's affairs and the applause he received was an indication of regret that he had definitely made up his mind to retire from public service. He concluded with a word of opti- mism and maintained his form- erly expressed opinion that the tax rate for 1947 could be main- tained at the present level or possibly be revised downward. At a later period he invited ques- tions and answered them very 2mphatically. Most of the other speakers agreed that the Mayor had very ably told the story and they were content to give a resume of their respectivetchairmanships and to declare their intentions about standing for office.

Dies Suddenly in City Ater Briet Illness This town and community were saddened on Saturday, November 23rd when word of the death of Miss Mary Pearl Lumby, R.N., was received. Miss Lumby had been in her usual health until re- cently and had been a patient in the Toronto General Hospital on- ly a few days before she passed away. Miss Lumby was the daughter of the late Benjamin and Margar- et Lumby of Parkhill, Ont., near London. She received her Reg- istered Nurse degree at Sarnia General Hospital and later com- pleted further studies in nursing at Western University, London. She also had other post graduate training in several American Hos- pitals. She returned to Ontario and was on the staff of various hospi- tals before going to Cochrane where she remained as Superin- tendent for seven years. She accepted the position of Superintendent of Bowmanville General Hospital in the fall of 1941, coming here from Cochrane. After two years she transferred to Niagara Falls but returned again to Bowmanville two years ago. Her devotion to duty and ber friendlydpersonalitydwon for er many friends in this community who grieved to hear of her early death. Two sisters survive, Mrs. H. W. Moggach and Mrs. F. Thomas, both living in the Parkhill dis- trict. The funeral .was held, at Ailsa Craig, Ont., on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Christmas Cake Donated to St. John's Charity Draw Dec. 13 The Christmas cake on display this week in the window of Allin's Meat Emporium has been donated by Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Jarrett, host and hostess of the Balmoral Hotel, to St. John's Anglican Church. It will become the pro- perty of some lucky winner in the charity draw to be held on Dec. 13th. It is difficult to describe the artistry in colour that makes up the 'Icing on the cake but it is causing much favorable comment among those who view it. Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett, who recently came from England to take up residence in Bowmanville, suggest that it is merely a genuine Christ- mas cake, with all the ingredients that have made such confections famous. Mn. Jarrett bas had a lifetimne of experience in the art of bakery and catering and still displays a master's touch in that field. Get your tickets early for the draw, fon the prize is well worth win- ning. Fight Against T.B. Described By Head of Ontario Assoc. Lions Praised For Good Job In a penetrating, eloquent ad- dress delivered at the Lions Club meeting, Monday evening, E. J. O'Brien, secretary-treasurer, On- tario Tuberculosis Asociation, told of the fight being waged to stamp out the dread disease.of T.B. and the means of raising funds for the work. He quoted, figures showing the extent of the disease in On- tario today and gave high praise to the local Lions Club which is now part of the great interna- tional laymen's organization ai- lied with the medical profession in the continuing war on this great white plague. The meeting which may be termed' Christmas Seal Night came under chairmanship of Ray Dilling, head of the Lions Club Christmas Seal Committee. Pre- sident Ross Stevens conducted the business session and Dr. Harold Ferguson, chairman, chest X-ray clinic, introduced the speaker, who he said, was well known in Bowmanville and had - helped greatly in organizing the clinic held in this district last year. Lay Organization Mr. O'Brien outlined the diffi- culties entailed in organizing the Ontario T.B. Association which as a layman's organization bad become the right arm of the me- dical profession in the T.B. fight and had set up the work by way of decentralization serving even the most remote districts. The present setup included the na- tional organization, the provincial organizations and the'locals such as that sponsored by the Lions Club. The work of the medical men was stated as: (1) An attempt tc remove infection; (2) To raise in- dividual resistance to the dis- ease. In T.B. there was no gen- eral formula in attacking the se- cond objective, hence the lay movement was inaugurated. Op- erating objectively it raised funds, not the least of which came from the sale of Christmas Seals and set out the wide plan of holding X-ray clinics and other aids to the cause. DRAS. Entertainment Draws. LargeCrowd> Openinig Night MOVED TO SARNIA Allan Knight "Tip Topics" the monthly pub- lication of Tip Top Tailors, To- ronto, features the above picture of Allan Knight, manager of the Tip Top Store, Sarnia, Ont.

The Commencement Exercises at Bowmanville High School being held on Nov. 27th, 28, and 29th bave surpassed the high standard they reacbed last year, judging from the success attained at the matinee and the first evening's performance last night. The general program gives some indication of the great amount of work undertaken by teachers, pupils and instructors in achiev- ing the very fine success attained. rSome features to commend themselves to those conducting public programs were the well- arranged efficiency and the starting of the performance on time. Mr. Alex McGregor, Chairman of the Board of Education, in his opening address congratulated the graduates for the high standing they had attained throughout their school careers. He paid high tribute to the Principal and pre- tribute to the Principal and pre- sent staff of teachers and to the Director of Music, Mr. W. E. C. Workman, L.L.C.M. Theomusical numbers arranged and conducted by Mn. Workman, included splendid orchestralsel- ections as a prelude to the pro- gram, the accompaniments for all special numbers and the chorus of High School girls which receiv- ed much well deserved applause. The play "Hillbilly Sue" was presented by an unusually talented and superbly trained personnel of students. The characters in this play were Sue Slade, Stella Bonk- Maw Blackman, Pearl Breslin Doc Lolly Millis, Mary Paterson; Bonita Blackman, Yvonne Wood; Shirley Slawson, Peggy Dippell; Newt Plummer, Paul Lindblad; Buck Plummer, Grant Brooks and Vaughn Alcott, John Cattran.
