over his closest opponent and almost a 44o0 majority over combined op position was most spectacular even in the light of a conservative upsurge over the whole domin ion based on past statistics mr best was accor ded amorethaneven chance of carrying halton although faced with formidable liberal opposi tion by a man popular both in his own town and in the county in 1949 halton returned liberal hughes qeaver giving him a 1 426 majority mr cleaver had the advantage of being the sit ting member and of having a large personal following his election occurred despite the fact that halton voted conservative in the provincial elections when mr cleaver retired sybil bennett captured the seat for the conservatives in 1953 with a majority of 1 284 her untimely death last fall made a new nomination necessary and mr best was the choice return to ward system looking backwards it can now be seen that practically any mar running under the conserve rive banner would have been successful it was a nationwide trend in which even traditionally liberal communities threw out their former repre sentatives what mode the best victory outstand ing was that in every one of the countys ten

rtew- er districts of town for a return to a ward sys tem electing municipal officials might lead to a plebiscite on the question at next decembers elections if as intimated monday at council there is dissatisfaction with the voting system it would be proper for those who wish a change to peti tion council and ask for a plebiscite such a re quest made by even 25 or 30 taxpayers would not fall on deaf ears we are sure for a town council always strives to follow the wishes of a substantial number of citizens if at all possible after years of voting by wards georgetown abandoned this in 1950 after a similartype pleb iscite in the december 1949 elections 809 were in favour of election by general vote 592 opposed to it the issue was not a particularly hot one though there were proponents of both ideas who argued quite strongly main reason for the present general vote was to overcome a system which op occasion led to more than the required two men seeking office in one waxd while other wards had acclama tions or as had happened could not find enough candidates and had to call for new nominations it was believed by those favouring general vote that the six men who were wanted by the most number of voters would thus obtain office each year another reason for general voting was to overcome what at that time was believed to be too sectional a system councillors elected in a ward tended to feel they should place the nar rower interests of one part of town first and quite properly so for their job was primarily to legislate for those who elected them as a town grows larger perhaps there is a better case for returning to ward politics some of the newer residents apparently feel that they should have more direct representation on coun cil and that a candidate who is not so generally known among older residents does not stand as good a chance of election in this they have a point however the old argument still holds good for general vote any council worth its salt is conscious of its duty to all citizens in ten years of reporting un der the present system this reporter can recall no incident in which any section of town was sli ghted unless such things do occur we can see no particular reason for changing the voting set- your headquarters for the modern colour flecked plastic decorator finish now you can boy all 38 exciting modern roxatone colours and patterns

that should have jam med the stand at the park on sun day night when the ge brass reed band put on its first concert since the change from military to community status if this band was secondrate with poor leadership we could understand the public apathy but when a band boasts of the calibre of leadership given by mr perrott and the record of achievement of this organization we feel ashamed at the meagre showing made by the public playing to an empty stand cer tainly does nothing for the morale of the musicians and we can readily understand their unwilll ingness to provide concerts for a
