MacDonald Chosen = After Keenest Contest in Years for the County's Highest Civic Honor. The keenest contest in many years resulted in the election of John A. MacDonald, reeve of Mara "Township, as Warden of the County of Ontario for 1941. Nine ballots were taken at the opening session of County Council on Tuesday before the new Warden . triumph over Reeve William Reesor of Pickering by a vote of fifteen to eleven. - Balloting took up most of the afternoon. _ Also nominated for Warden were Reeve Oscar 'Downey, Whitby Town- _ehip, and Reeve Irwin T. Ormiston, of "East Whitby. Excitement, mingled with snatches of humour, mounted throughout the contest and reached a climax when County Clerk R. Donald Ruddy's suggestion of a ten-minute adjournment was passed by Council after the fourth, fifth, and sixth pal- lots had produced identical results-- MacDonald 10, Ormiston 8, Reesor 8. With all four nominces running on the first ballot, Reeve Downey gar- nered two votes, MacDonald ten, Or- miston six, and Reesdr eight. The second round again gave MacDonald ten with Ormiston and Reesor tied at six each, and. Downey trailing with four. Third ballot dropped Downey, -and the fourth, fifth and sixth resulted in duplicates with no contestant ob- taining the fourteen votes neccessary for office, : "I've heard Councils some" years ago taking weeks: to elect a warden. It seems a8 if we're going back to the 'old days," commented County Clerk Ruddy amidst laughter. The ten minute adjournment brought no change on the seventh ballot. Reesor and MacDonald moved into a tie on the ninth with nine votes each, result- ing in the elimination of Reeve I. T. Ormiston who trailed with eight. Supporters of Reeve Ormiston then split their vote on the last ballot, with the majority count going to Reeve 'MacDonald who was thereupon de- * clared Warden for 1941 amidst ap- plause and the congratulations of His erstwhile opponents.-- Whitby Gazette SCUGOG The Girls' Institute had a very sur- lessful dance in the Township Hall, on Friday evening. - The music was fur- nished by J.

H. Moore, M.P., made the following 'statement: "War always brings about inequalities and sacrifices. If they were to pay the man in uniform his just deserts there would be nothing left for the motor car builder or the hog raiser." Mr. Moore, who probably realizes the problems of both farmer and in- dustrialist as well as any man in Can- ada, certainly hit the nail on the head when he made this statement. It is prices for his produce and is sbsolute- ly within his rights in voicing his grievances. Such things are the in- alienable right of every man in a de- mocracy. z We venture to think that Mr. Moore's remark is not directed at any section of the public but rather at ail Canadians in general. We must be on guard lest thoughts of profit or gain should put any of us in the class of "war profiteers" while the gallant people of England are in the front line of our battle line. And perhaps in this connection it might be well to point out that some- time our own Canadian soldiers do not get the consideration they deserve. After all, these men have offered their lives for King and County, a thing which shoold weigh more than any other when we think it over. There is nothing which should sick- en a good Canadian 'and Britisher more than the sight of an empty car with one man at the wheel and a wind- shield bearing the legend "There'll Always Be An England" driving past a soldier on active service, thumbing a ride on one of our highways with the temperature hovering near the zero mark. ° i ---- Mr. Moore is to be at the High School Assembly Hall on Friday Evening, January 31st. -------------- The Zion Youn was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs, $361.63.
