Fl wit i Reeve Garnet Wilson, of Canning: ton, was yesterday elected the 101st Warden of the' County .of Ontario. Reeve Wilson is_the fifth Reevé of that Brock Township village to be so honored. Reeve: Wilson was elected on the first ballot following a contest between himself and Reeve John County Clerk William Manning ac- ted as chairman of the first meeting : of the 1054 County Council pending the election of a Warden. 1954 marks the first year of the second century | , of the organization of the Ontario County Council. Mr. Manning called * for. nomination for warden. Four "names were proposed--Reeve Wilson, Reeve Sweetman, Reeve Wilfrid Hart, of Rama Township, and Reeve Fred Lamb, of Brock Township. The no= minations were closed and the four candidates were asked to speak to the remaining members of council. Reeve Wilson, as first nominated, ohserved that he had sat for 11 suc- cessive years. on the Ontario County "Council, a feat bettered only by Reeve Rae Ferguson, who.is an ex-warden, and equalled by Reeve Duncan B. Mec- "Intyre, another ex-warden. He stated that in his experience with the county council he had served on all the re- gular committees and for the past 8 years had served on the Ontario County Road Committee, considered the heaviest committee of the County. During his seven years, he added, the wardens had represented the south- ern portion of the county. "Possibly the office should be moved around." Reeve Sweetman drew councillors' attention to the fact that this marked the first year of the second century of * Sweetman, of Scugog Township, = | Garnet Wilson Warden of 101st A "Ontario County Council. ~~ ~~ the organization of the Ont. County Council. "Through all those years," he said, "members have voted openly | - in this council and have expressed their opinions openly." He asked 'that these democratic principles, so carefully preserved, be not lost. An- -nounicing that he would stand for elec- tion to the highest office of the county Reeve Sweetman stated that only two or three reeves from Scugog 'Townshfp had ever been elected and added, ns an afterthought, that never in the history of the county had a warden been elected from Rama Township.: Reeve Wilfrid Hart, now provided with a splendid reason for being elec- ted to the .-Warden's chair, declined 'to stand for election, saying that he preferred to bow to those men with 'more experience on the council.Hows ever," he concluded, 'ith the good Lord willing and the good people of Rama continuing to vote as I think they should, I might be available next year." Reeve Lamb also asked permission to withdraw" from the running, stating that the opportunity of becoming Warden this year had not occured to him. He hinted however that he, be- sides Mr. Hart, would be available next year. Scrutineers were appointed by Mr. Manning and the vote was called. As is the custom, the vote is open. In other words, Mr.. Manning selects the names of the members of the couneil from a box and as each 'member's name is called, he rises to his feet and states for whom he. casts his vote. Reeve Wilton won on the first ballot with 17 votes to Reeve Swéetman's 11 votes. Local Shop Teachers Hold On.

'The Annual Meeting of the Port Perry, Reach and Scugog Agricultur- al Society was held in the Public Lib- rary, Monday afternoon, Jan. 26th, with 24 persons present. The Presi- dent, Fred G, Christie was in the chair. In his opening address he reviewed the year's work and the 1953 Fain He thought that as far as the manage- ment was concerned the 1953 fair had gone off very smoothly, He was very well pleased that the financial end had kept up so well. Port Pérry had been very lucky on Fair Day for there were some quite héavy showers of rain not too far away. These show- ers had no doubt, kept some away, but on the Fair Grounds there was just enough to settle the dust on the Race Track at the noon hour and it _cleared | up later and was a nice afternoon, ex- "cept-n-bit on the cool side, which had effected the Grandstand receipts. The big job done on the Grounds during the year was repairing the Grandstand and putting a new roof on it. - This had cost a little over $1,- 500.00. The Grandstand should be both safe and in good repair for many years now. One thing needed now was something done at thé west end on the Track to take care of the water that comes off the higher ground on- to the track. ; The Financial Report shows Net Receipts for the Year of $5,073.10. The Disbursements less the Capital Expenditures $5,326.14 leaving a Sur- plus on the year of $646.96.

This marks the second occasion in recent meetings wherein grants for capital construction costs of hospitals have been made by the council, In December, the Council Pickering General Hospital and $10, 000 to the Port Perry Hospital. This week, the council authorized the pay- ment of the other halves of these two grants and also ordered payment of a grant of $20,000 to the Soldier's Me- morial Hospital, in Orillia, The by-law called for the payment of $10,000 fo the Port Perry Hospital, $12,500 to the Ajax-Pickering Hospi- tal, total grants to these hospitals to $20,- 000 for Port Perry, and $25,000 to the Ajax-Pickering Hospital. The first of these grants was made in Decem- 'ber and would have been fully paid money in the treasury. The $20,000 grant, the third grant of this week's by-law, to the Orillia amount specified in the December report of the special county committee on hospital grants. No grants have yet been made to Oshawa or 'Lindsay hospitals, although they were recommended last year. Reéve Peel, chairman of the-special committee, told council that the Orillia Hospital had_becn.. making a sur- charge of-§0 cents per day on patients from Ontario County since this county had: made no contribution to their $180,000 wing. According to the by- law Orillia must stop making the sur- charge when the grant is made. Pickering Hospital passed with' a mt= nimum comment although several members debated the grant to the Orillia - Hospital. Warden Wilson stated that he was in favour of the grants to the two hospitals within the county limits but he could not agree to. grants to hospitals outside the county. He asked that the new mem- bers be made familiar with last year's progress of the council regarding hoa- pitals and that the grant to Orillia be deleted until such time as all mem- here were familiar with the sugges- tions regarding hospitals outside the county. Reeve McIntyre, of Whitby, stated that the geography of Ontario County 'was such that the residents were de- pendent upon. hospitals outside the county and the north end of the county was therefore dependent upon the Orillin and Lindsay hospitals. Deputy-reeve Duffy, of Mara, asked that further time be given the new members to study the by-laws since they had not yet studied last year's resolutions and the implications this. by-law might have. Other members of Council stated that this was the I time for all those questions to be ask- ' od about the proposals since the mat- ! ter of capital grants had been brought up at every session of the 1953 coun- cil and little could be learned by new members if "the watter was not dis- { cussed in the council, After further discussion of the me- { rits of last year's resolution in which certain grants. were recommended, this by-law incorporating three of them, the by-law was pagsed. 8 Ji : Rockwood Rocket Tone (left) has been 'selected as the All-Canadian Aged Holstein bull as the climax to the Show season, while Spring Farm Juliette (on the right) has been: sel- ected as the 'All-Canadian Aged Hol- stein cow.
