followed by a public meeting at which nation of candidates for the december 4th present councillors report on their commit- tee work then members of other elected and appointed boards and finally new candidates for office state their platforms last year a hassle developed when some spectators demanded that candidates speak first it ended in a walkouf by the council of that day who held their own re port meeting few nights later this year uve understand it is planned to continue m the past way with council and board reports first and candidates later whatever may be the case it is a mee ting which no ratepayer should miss for it is your one opportunity to hear a composite report of the year s municipal business to ask a question if you wish and to udge the various candidates as they take the stage actions a return to ward voting for council lors this year will change nomination pro cedure and council candidates must be no minated to run in one of the three wards itch ward will elect

welfare administrator al norton they are asking for donations of do thing footwear and non perishable food stuffs and in newspaper advertising for past few weeks in the herald have fltvan phone numbers to call for those who have donations the idea came about because it was ftrt that there was sometimes overlapping at christmas time some families were aid ed by all three groups while others were missed by the new organization it is felt the whole town and district can be adequa tely served children s clothing is a particular need according to club officials and while only non perishable goods are sought at th s early date gifts of foodstuffs which might not keep for more than a few days would be welcomed as christmas approaches so encouraging has been the response to date that the clubs are considering mak mg the plan a year round one they are not trying to be exclusive end would welcome any help from other organizations or from individuals not connected with the dubs in this

vocalist in local minstrel thows and with church choirs his starring fieje in the musical demanded considerable act ng ab lity as well and he came through w th honours m both departments the rest of the cast was on a par and the smallest bit part was played with professional aplomb orchestral work was on a professional level and one could imagine the long hours of rehearsal necessary for the musi
