agencies. Rr HE REE Star After several weeks of searching for an editor to replace John B. McClelland who resigned a few weeks ago from the Star editor's desk, a successor has been found. Starting with this issue, Mr. John Sims, ° Toronto, will take over the duties formerly attended to by Mr. McClelland. His experience is varied and extensive, obtained from working on most known news media. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Sims was a Toronto freelance writer in the areas of news, films and public relations. He has been on the staffs of CBC TV News, Moreland- Latchford Film Productions and the Toronto Star, and has provided freelance material for Ontario Hydro, the National Film Board and various magazines and advertising - In 1969: he was publicity manager for Metro Toronto's initial "Caravan" project, now a yearly multi-cultural events drawing thousands to some 40 "pavilions" which offer entertainment, food, drink and the arts and Nomination crafts of as many countries. Mr. Sims' newspaper background also includes reporting and editing duties at the Calgary Herald, Calgary Alberta, Sudbury 'Daily Star, CJCA Radio in Edmonton and the Ladner Optimist, a weekly near Vancouver. The publisher and the staff of Port Perry Star extend a warm welcome to Mr. Sims and hope he will enjoy the friendliness and co-operation so common among residents of Port Perry and area. meetings not called this year That traditional election event -- the nomination meeting -- is now a thing of the past in Port Perry municipal elections. That's the word from Port Perry Clerk-Treasurer J. Neil Brodie who has nom- ination forms available for anyone hoping to win seats in municipal elections this year. "All you need to do is pick up a form and collect the signatures of 10 supporters," Mr. Brodie told the Star. The change has come about because of a revision to the Municipal Elections Act. There's been some concern expressed about those who wish to be elected but won't have the time to get 10 signatures on their nom- ination form. One suggested solution: stage a public meeting, organized by a service club, where those seeking council seats can be heard. Nominations this year are open to tenants as well as land owners. An identical policy applies to Scugog, Reach and Cart- wright Townships whose clerk-treasurers told the Star nomination forms are now available at their offices.
