Bruce succeeds Patrick Duffy who retired from the post this 'year. 'The new reeve served on council for a number of terms some years ago and is also a form. er reeve of the township. Mr, Newman also had a long record of municipal service and had been deputy-reeve for the past two years. For council a final check was to be made later today to ascertain the exact number of votes for each candidate. It was definite, how- ever, that William Jackson, Don Munro and John McFadyen were elected, with Carl Leonard the de- feated candidate. Only one member of last year's council, William Jackson, appears on this yéar's slate, Munro and McFadyen being newcomers to the field.

TM ONLY OF COMRSE TIL BE BACK GOING OVER ON THE Of Toronto The Whitby Legionnaires opened their current series at home by trouncing Toronto Diggins, 9-5, in a very fast and rugged Senior B tilt last night. The local team were spurred on by the Legion band who came out in full force to give their team support. The Legionnaires played headup hockey and were never headed as their speedy forward combinations were on the offensive all the way while their defensive bowled all éomers. Whitby looked to be the team that uld really show the fans some e hockey this season for if their ce last night is any inclination of their play for the year it should be the Legion's best season especially with coach Maun- drell doing such a fine job. The large orowd on hand seemed espe- cially pleased with the night's per- formance and you can be sure they will be back #gain when the locals make their next appearance, Speedy First The opening period of the battle was by far/the best from Whitby's standpoint as they really poured on the steam. Luther Vipond put Whit- by ahead at the three-thirty mark but Moore of Diggins evened things up thirty seconds later. It was Hef- fering, Whitby's rugged rearguard who put the locals in front to stay on a shot which just trickled over the line, Heard was awarded the assist, Furey from Brugg and Litner was. the next scoring play which gave the fans a great impression of this tricky trio for it was the type of goal which had the crowd on their toes, Elliot then Diggins back in the running at the 11.50 mark. The final goal of the period was off the stick of Maine and gave the lo- cal aggregate a comfortable 4-2 se, heading into the second per- Hectic Second The middle frame was the most hectic of the evening as both teams began throwing their weight around and sticks were carried at the slope, Whitby increased théir margin by one, Litner doing the honors, but to made a real bid to tie the score as they latched two tallies in succession, Imray and Timgrin the marksmen. However, from here in it was all Whitby as they rang up three more markers, Furey, Saman- ski and McCoy being the goalgetters. Elliot added another counter to the Diggins cause, During this session Maine and Moore were chased for roughing while" Burkart the local netminder was given a minor pen- alty which Wiles served when Bur- kart indulged in a rolling tussle with one of the enemy. All Quiet Things slowed down considerably in the final frame as the Legion- naires held Diggins scoreless while Samanski, netted his second goal of the 'evening assisted by Heard to make the final score read Whitby 9 Diggins 5. During the period Gil- christ, Moore and Bragg were sent to the sinbin to repent for minor offences. The Whitby team gave a fine ac- oount of themselves last night and it is to be hoped they can maintain their high standard of play during the schedule. The next home game is Monday Jan. 12 when the Legion- naires play host to QXIL another Senior B team from the Queen city a Thanks I Appreciate the Confidence Shown Me By My Re-Election as Councillor of Whitby Township WM.
