Rickard .More than 200 spectators erowded the new United Count- les Council Chambers a couple of weeks ago to witness the el- ection of a new warden and the start of the f irst session of 1959. As reported previously, Gaînet B. Rickard, Deputy Reeve of Darlington, was elected Warden on the first ballot, the first time D a rli ngton has been honored with the appointmnent. Warden Riekard p r e dicted that 1959 would be the -biggest year in the history of the United Counties. "In this year we will complete and open th-e hospital wing for the home for the aged. We ¶Tlust be sure that oui senior citizens receive the best atten- tion. "This year we will have the biggest road program in oui his- tory. This progîam will exceed the million dollar mark. There will be other problems which will require our attention and I know I can îely on your co-op- erption. "Today many suffer from fear of the future. If we look on this spirit of fear in the right way we will see that it is a challenge to preserve the fundamental pri- vileges upon which our demo- cratie systema is based.
