Sa nta Claus Heacis the Polis Rickard Sweeps Darlington In Darlington Township slightly under 60 per cent of the electorate braved the rain and snow storm to go to the polis on Monday for the election of the Township Council 'for the coming year. Garnet Rickard, the present Deputy-Reeve, who, had waged an exceedingly active cam- paign was. elected to the office of Reeve for the coming year with 1,510 votes. Roy W. Nichols, the incumbent Reeve, polled 854. The office of Deputy-Reeve was con- tested in Darlington on Monday by A. LU Blanchard and A. E. Thompson, a member of this year's council. Mr. Blanchard won with a vote of 1,566, and Mr. Thompson polled 543 votes. The three Councillors elected were Harold Muir, 1,437; Sidney Cornish, 1,045, and Fred G. Smith, 940. The vote receiv- ed by the other candidates, who stood for election to the three positions of Councillor were: Robert Tremble, 870; Earl Truil, 753, and Elmer Pollard, 592. The vote for the four members of the Darlington Public School Board was Bert Snowden, 926; Robert Cook, 836; Sidney Worden, 791; Mrs. Anna Boyce, 610; Robert Craig, 589, and Harry Oyler, 440. This Santa is probably the only one of bis kind i the world. He took time off from making toys to run in the Darlington Townsbip elections on Monday and headed the polis for the School Board. Bert Snowden, whose name Santa assumes for election purposes, bas been holding forth at Ken Nicks' store in Bowmanville and will be on duty from Monday to Tbursday next week, 2:30 to 5 p.m. By sheer coincidence. one of the bappy visitors at this store wben our pbotographer called was Jobn B. Lander, sitting on Santa's knee, wbose father Jack and uncle Glen Lander officially open their new bardware store on Friday.

A sheet with labels (12 of them) saying LOCAL and OUT 0F TOWN mail bas been issued or may be obtained by customers. You attach the proper label to your pile of Christmnas cards, keeping the local and outside mail separated. Please use them. They do help the staff considerably to prccess your mail. t. 4 t -4 tf SWEEPERS IN ACTION - Recreational Director Doug Rigg who started a girls' broomball league this year bas been amnazed by a new demand. He has been receiving calîs from housewives and mothers who want him te start a broombaîl league for them. He is agreeable, se if you are interested in participat- ing, mothers, give him a caîl 3-3335, extension 6. Sounds like a good idea. The gals can keep in shape at home, but it may be a bit rough on the furniture. RIGHT IN THEIR BACK YARD - We are advised that the British Colwmbia Fruit Growers are raising blue murder. It seems that one of our enterprising growers in Durham shipped a couple of ca rloads of apples out there se they could see what real apples are like and the B.C. boys are panic-stricken. This could get to be a habit they don't like. For years they have upset the Ontario market by shipping their surplus here just at nmarket time. When the tables are reversed, they apparently aren't too happy te be taking some of their own medicine. FIRST IN BOWMANVILLE - We have been advised that one of our high school teachers is sporting some- tbing new in bbe way of automobiles. He bought one of the first Russian cars to be shipped te Canada recently. To date we haven't seen it, but can't belp wondering if it ruas on our gasoline or vodka. We also wonder if there is a special muffler and exhaust pipe so that instead of the usual exhaust noises, it gives out with "Nikita", "Kikita" and backf ires "Khrushchev"..

The paper was publîshed Thursday morning and early the saine evening, they received a call from Orillia enquiring about the train. They were so amazed they didn't ask how the chap found out about the advt. We can't figure it out either, the mails are fast but not that good. t t t i. t TRADING POST - We didn't realize until this week that a bit of Vienna had dropped in our midst.
