Nichais est Shown on Election ?eeve's Post, ers of Darlington Township were present at the Nomina- tion Meeting held in the Town- ship Hall, Hampton, last Friday afternoon at whicb council and school board members reported on their stewardship during 1954. Reeve Nichais pointed out that 1954 had been a very suc- cessful year in Dariington, As- scssment was up to an ail- tme high o! $4,515,000, he said, and $315,000 o! this had been accounted for by 160 new homes bufit in the township since the beginning of 1954. Population is also at a new bigh o! 7,000 persons. Mr. Ni- chais felt that with such a large area and population, council should be increased from, the present five members ta give the taxpayers better re- presentatiori. H1e stated that during the past summer as Reeve he had devoted an aver- age o! three hours per day ta township matters and had lis- tened ta a ratepayer or delega- tion every three days. Reeeve Nichais drew the at- tention of bis audience ta the fact that in 1951 the milI rate had been 13 mills for roads, and no paving had been donc. This yeaT, he said, the rate had béécn only 8¼ý milis, but 10 miles o! road had been bard- surfaced. The township had received $35.000 for roads from taxes this year and bad an ad- ditional $10,000 surplus from 1953 ta work with. In spite o! the extensive paving program and the laying o! 9,000 yards o! crusbed gravel. he said. the road account wouhd still show a surplus at the end of the year. Mr. Nichols also paintcd out that $2,600 worth o! ail bad been added to the crushed gra- vel laid this year, and be feit this gravel. wouid stay on the road and pack down because o! this oul, rather than ending up in the ditch as had been the case in previaus years. Deputy-Reeve Reports Deputy-Reeve Garnet Rick- ard devoted much o! bis report to proceedings of United Coun- ties Council at which he re- presented Darlington Town- ship, along witb Reeve Nich- ais. One o! the biggest jobs the Counties' Council had during 1954, he said, was selling $1,- 601,000 in debentures ta finance the building o! the new addi- tion ta the Bowmanville Dis- trict Hîgh School and the new Higb School at Port Hope. Dur- hamn's share of these deben- tures will be $971,000 he said. Mr. Rickard pointed out that the reason the Counties Coun- cil issued these debentures ra- theîr than the municipalities concerned was that it could get a better rate. These are the first debentures îssued by Counties Council for many years. H1e also stated that it looks very much as if the United Counties will bave ta embark on a building program ta pro- vide new accommodation for Counties' offices and courts and ta increase the size o! the Home for the Agcd. There are 88 per- sans in the home now, he said, and it is over-crawded.

Barric's eamnedy play, "Quality Street," bcing pre- sented at the Town Hall this wcek by students o! Bowman- ville High School, is pure en- joyment. The youthful cast, directed by Miss Jean Cuni- Iningham-o! the teaching staff, is exceptionally good in this comedy which takes place in England at the time o! the Napoleonic Wars. Of first importance ta tbe young ladies concerned is thic subject o! marriage, and the dashing Valentine Brown, weli played by Ronald Turner, causes Miss Phoebe Throssell (Marilyn Hearne) same heart- break. Owing ta a reduction in their means, Phoebc and ber sister Susan are forccd ta open a very genteel school. But even a genteel scbool invalves arithmetic, which is beyand poor Susaîî, played by Eliza- beth Prower, These three young people who bave the lcading roles in 'Quality Street" are extreme- ly good. The supporting play- ers ai-e bardly less so, how- ever. Janet McGncgor as the prim Miss Mary Willoughby, Jerri Ross as ber sister Fanny, and Margaret Goheen as Hen- rietta Turnbull all give de- lightful aînd canvincîng per- formances. Mary Lewis' per- formance as Patty the maid, is also enjoyed by everyone. Also inx'olved in the roman- tic comed ' are Brenda Cooper as Charlotte Parratt; Thomas Park - Ensigu Blades; George Marlow- - Lieutenant Spices; Allan Porter - Recruiting Sgt; Beveî-ly Cowling - Harriett; Mai-y Mitchell - Isabella: Da- vid Parker - Arthur, Keith Henslev - Old Soldier. Children in the scbool room scene were well piayed by Beverly Stephenson, Beverly Wraigbt Nancy 'Brown Shir- ley BoÏhwell, William Brad- hey, Robent Richards, Merton Mavin, John Webb and Barry Cowling. Prompten, vcry sel- i dom needed, was Marie Fer- guson. The stage set for the Misses Throssells blue and white> room in Quality Street is most attractive and represents a good deal o! work by ail those who assisted. Ail the teacbing staff assisted ini the production i some way. If is an enjoyable change ta hear the careful enunciation o! words by the players in " Quai- ity Street," making this Eng- lish comedy, set i the peniod when Napoleon was carrying on bis fonays, niost rcaiistic and enjoyable. The girls are charming in their ald-fasbion- cd gawns, and al l nail it is a delightful experience ta be transported for an evening ta the early 19th century. Prior ta the play, the sebool orchestra under the direction o! Mn. D. C. Peters, entertain wîth several- selections. Mcmn- bers are Bruce Colwehl, Way- ne Pickand, Bob Marjernison, Paige Lycett, Max Lycett, Erie Barr, Bnian Van Nest, John Dippeli, Don McGrcgor, Janet l McGregor, Alan Smith. Some toe-tapping papular nmusic is also pravîded be- tween the acts by Bnian Van Nesf and Max Lycett alternat- ing at the -piano, Paige Lycett on the saxophone and Bruce Colweli on the traps. If you havcn't tickets, and there are any left for tonigbt and Friday, you won't go wrong on securing seats for "Quality Street." The students have made a fine job o! a de- lightful play.
