He BROWNt DEALER FOR Case Farm Machinery Firestone rirei DeLaval Milkera and Separators I Beatty Bros. Stable MA 3-5497 Ciizens of Darlington, Next Monday, Dec. Sth, you will go to the poiis ta elect your Township Reeve for next year. Be sure you vote! It's important ta youl It has been my privilege to be your Beeve f or the past four years, and I make no apologies for again off ering my services. This decision was taken, flot because of any self ish motive or wish to remain in of fice for a longer time, but because there is still a great deal of work to be done; work with which I have been in very close contact. Bef ore retiring, it is my hope to complete the job that was started four years ago. This work includes, among other things, additional improvements to our roads. During the past f ew years we have' hard-surfaced many of the township roads, a procedure which eventually will save you many thousands of dollars in maintenance - as well as pro- viding better driving conditions throughout the year. This job is by no means complete and because it has been my pet proj oct, I would like to have the opportun- ity of f ollowing it through to its conclusion. The work has been done economically and competontly. In fact, without increasing taxes, we have boon able to show surpluses regularly in our road account. Our population growth since the war has made it necessary to build several new schools and more will be needed. These can cost a great deal of money, or, if handled as we have done, the cost need flot be exce§sive. It has been a great source of satisfaction to me as your Reeve to have been able, through personal contacts, to save the township many thousands of dollars on these various contracts. There are many other township problems which might be mentionedi where good results can only be obtained by constant attention. This takes time - a great deal of time if the job is to be done right - and I have the time to devote to it. If you again give me your support, 1t assure you mnat ine ]oiD oi neeve of Darlington Township will be practically a full time job for me, as it has been ini the past, Sa that Darlington will continue to grow and improve in every way. In your own interests, be sure you vote. Sincerely, ROY W.
