No Shortage of Featured Friends for this Ploughman Last weekend, a Statesman photographer happened to spot Leland Crago R.R. 4, doing some ploughing with his tractor and was amazed to find undreds of seagulls following right along, just waiting until the sod was turned to see what goodies would become available. At times, they were thick, flying round and round the machine before making a quick landing to pick up a choice morsel. Certainly, at this time of year, a ploughman doesn't lack for friends.

The Negative Citizens have a chip on their shoulders and are their own worst enemies. They must learn to "Accent the Positive" and "Eliminate the Negative" side of their disposition.

The increase has caused the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education to seek an explanation from the regional government for the large increase.

Once you have attended a meeting or spent some time over one issue or another--the chances are you would not miss voting. To vote for the sake of voting is nothing short of suicide. Often we have to be enraged or at least upset with a situation before we get involv- ed. This does not have to be so. Decisions and acts are being made everyday and in one way or another they effect you. You cannot be at all meetings or on top of all that is going on, even in your own community. You and I can and should know the people who speak on our behalf. As well, people who speak on our behalf are at a loss as to what we need or want if we do not make our needs and wishes known. On November 17, 1976 at 7:45 p.m., every taxpayer in the Town of Newcastle in the Ward 1 area (formerly Dar- lington Township) is encour- aged, yes, we, the executive of Mitchell's Corners Home and School Association, plead with you, to attend a "Meet the Candidates" meeting to be held at the M.J. Hobbs Senior Public School just west of Hampton on the Taunton Road. The outcome of any election effects us all. Municipal elections tend to generate the least excitment of al elec- tions. This year (1) Lets eacb and everyone of us get to know the Candidates (2) Lets each and everyone of us let the Candidates know our views (3) Lets each and everyone of us VOTE INTELLIGENTLY December 6, 1976.
