Incumbent Edward (Sam) Oyler is being opposed by Allan Crosier who has been Deputy- Reeve for the past three years. Mr. Crosier hag served on Council for 2 years and figures it is now time he moved up. His first two-year term as Deputy was with Mr. Earl Martyn, past Reeve of Reach Township. Mr. Chester Geer was also nominated © for Deputy-Reeve, but chose to remain as Council- lor, thus making Mr. Lawrence Doble the unopposed Deputy- Reeve. Councillor Mrs. Lucille Gray was returned to office by acclamation, - while newcomer Mr. Allan Bertrand was auto- matically seated on Council by reason of Mr. Glen Wanamaker declining the nomination offered te him. Reeve Oyler expressed thanks to the Reach Area School Board for the gift of the furnace for the Manchester Hall. This fur- nace was formerly in the one- room school at Prospect. The old cast-iron wood-burner which has heated the. old Hall for so many years has been cleaned up and painted. Several antique dealers have shown interest in it, but, for the present it will remain in the Hall pending a possible County Museum being opened. In his summary of the year's operations, Reeve Oyler report- ed on County Council's activi- ties & the Township's improve- ment on various municipal roads. He made the suggestion, which was later supported by Mr. Crosier, that the incoming Council give thought to the pur- chase of a gravel pit for Town- ship needs. Also, an addition should be made to the Municipal Garage to accommodate extra equipment, One purchase that kas been made is a snow plow wing for the Township truck.
