FROM ME TO YOU I haveflotý prevlously used this column for political purposes and I don't really plan to start - however. I trust you will indulge me while I public- ly thank the many residents of the North Ward who offered me their support in the municipal election. Although we won the battle we lost the war, albeit a close one. The number 63 is flot a great one, but when it relates to voters it can, and did make a dif- ference. The biggest dlsappointment to me was in the realization that just over 22 per cent of the eiil votersà turned out at the poils to cast their ballots. I hopethis is not an indication of the lethargy to be anticipated in the future. Remember .... this is your community, the place you chose over ahl others in which to live. Take an active part. Let your chosen represenitatives know what' you expect. They cannot make decisions for their, constituents when they don't know what they want. 1My congratulations to Mr. Batten and his collesg- ues on council. They will be representing you for the next three years but they- cannot be expected to do it alone. Help yourselves by helping them. Let them know your feelings, not only negative but positive also. Big things are about to happen in the next few yesrsà . Make sure your community stays exactly that .... yours 1 Robert Burns once said something like, "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agiae" .... re- member well.
