Mr. Magili, who is 'Superintendent o! the Ontario Di- vision o! the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, speakingr at the annual meeting o! the Bow- nianville Advisory Committee of the C.N.I.B. and canvassers, ex- plained his tapie as the science o! making people live longer. He tald his audience that liv- ing longer in itself was not pnough, particularly in the case .of blind people. That economic security, companianship ta dis- loneliness, and teaching o! t~'dicrafts ta supplement in- 'lu.Ees, were necessary. There are 17,883 registered blind men, women and children in Canada, 8,927 of thera over the age o! 65. The C.N.I.B. during the past six years has established 36 social clubs across Canada, i-un by blind people, and proposes ta build ser- vice centres for residence, educa- tion and recreatian of the lind.

Roads and Streets When reporting on Roads and Streets. Deputy Reeve Frank Jamieson, Chairman of the Com- mittee. said "We have at last had work clone on our Front Street." He told the 12 taxpayers at the nomination meeting that re-sur- facing operations are expected to be completed by Dec. 15. "It is not Council's fault that It wasn't completed long ago," he stated, "it would have been finished if we had had co-operation al along the line." He explained that only those sidewalks needing immediate at- tention were repaired this year. The quoted price was 45 cents a square foot and the budgeted cost of $6,000 was expended plus a supplementary grant of $500. "There are other sidewalks in bad shape," Mr. Jamieson said, (Continued on page six) Reports were given by various committees. Mr. C.

Me laves the cap- tain's daughter, but because he la a mere-sailor, h.emn'eot think she will have him. This is ex- e pressed in the love sang, "A ai- en Fair ta See." When Josephine t rejects his suit, he plans ta kihi b himself, but the fair maîd pre- vents this by pramising ta marry him, and the two sing, "O Jay, O Rapture," a beautilul sang, wele sung by the pair. $ Kenneth Hockin, as the Rt.*t E7hrawu Verlbal ADamo b Cie rk, Ueputy mReeve, Uarlingtan Nu.minatian Goodyear Workers Get Wage Boost 12 Cents Per Hour Local 189, United Rubber Worki. ers (Goodyear) Bowmanville, ai a well attended meeting held in the Town Hall, Sunday, voted tc% accept à general wage increase of 12 cents per hour offer by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com- pany.

Pinafore" Attacks ýDuring Name calling, charge and counter-charge flew rapidly in the Hampton To>vn Hall at the tDarlington Township nomination meeting Nov. 24. The major con- test, it would appear, was be- »tween the Reeve and a "whisper- *ing campaign" originated by a "ýclose alliance between the Dep- uty Reeve and the salaried Clerk of the Township." As it hap- pened, the taxpayer-jammed room was the scene af vehement verb- al exchanges reminiscent of the long gone days immortalized by jfierce oration and fisticuffs. First speaker at the meeting was Reeve Arthur Milîson who, quoting from a pamphlet he had specially printed, said: "The plat- form on which I shall stand is my w4iole record since being first elècted, my continued stand for rigid economies 'consistent with the unavoidable demands af these times. Briefly, my position is that every dollar of taxes must be wisely and carefulJy spent ta provide for at least a minimum of services for the taxpayers. Claims Irregularities "In my number of years ii Council 1 have neyer seen such lack of ~regard for regular pro- cedure as has occurred the past two years or so. As Reeve and the presiding chairman I have had ta devote a lot af time ta try to track down irregularities and ta check on the activities of the Township Clerk." According ta Mr-. Milîson, it was his duty as Reeve ta acquire the best advice possible on pert- inent matters and pass such ad- vice on ta Council. "When the Deputy Reeve," he said, "who is in the car and truck buskjiess, conducted a successful lobby fa sell a GMC truck ta the Town- ship, I warned that it would be wiser ta buy a 4-, -heel drive ta Junior Farmers Held Banquet Speaking Contest One hunclred and fil ty Junior farm boys and girls joined in their first county banquet at Newcastle on Nov. 22, served by the Wom- en's Association of the Newcastle United Church. This was a very informal ban- quet with no scheduled guest speaker. However a well org- anized public speaking contest with four contestants was heldi while still at the tables. Mrs. Ralph Malcolm, Manvers, used as her subject, Korea; Farncombe LeGresley, Clarke, Farm Acci- dents, Frank Stenger, Darling- ton, Touring Northern United States, and Simon Quinn, Hope (formerly North Carolina) spoke on The King of the Underworld (The Potato). The judges for the Public Speaking were Miss Jean Cun- ningham, of the Bowmanville High School Staff; Miss Jean1 Noble, Home Economist, and Rev. Sam Henderson, Bowmanville. Mr. Henderson gave the final de- cision in favour af Simon Quinn, who will now proceed ta the Pro- vincial finals at Toronto in Jan- uary. Mr. Henderson supple- mentcd his decision with a wel worded educatianal comment on the0various speeches. The judges were moved a hearty vote of thanks for a job well one, by the Vice-President, Ray Challice, Bethany. Mr. Francis Jase introduced the head table guests which was fai- lowed by a toast ta Agricultural Representative, E. A. Summers,f by Stewart Dorreli, Cartwright. The second hall of the program1 was a most enjoyable dance. meet the heavy requirements of its job. But the deal was made through an Oshawa firm for the GMC and this firm, I was told directly, didn't get ail the com- i mission." He said "the truck proved a flop" and asserted that "The gas tank rusted... the rear wheel and bearing came off ...the framýe broke and was welded 3 or 4 times. . . the rear axie broke, then the frame broke and do on." Reeve Milison claimed that this lobbyinjz was effective duepta "close alliance between t.heDeuy Reeve and the salaried Clerk of the Township." Criticizes Clerk Continuing, the speaker said, "Aside from becoming the weak- « willed tool of the Deputy Reeve, the Clei'k shouJd be called to ac- count on several matters that re- quire officiai examination. When scrap iron was being collected under auspices of council I: secur- ed about 40 tons to be sold at the market, then about $9.00 per ton. But without consulting anyone the Clerk sold it at $7.00 a ton. Ozi discovery, we took action to -cor- rect the deal, at least partially, but the background is stili open to question." Mr. Milîson claimed that the person to whom the scrap metal was sold paid $7.50 a ton instead of $7.00 as he inferred was re- ported. "NoW," he said, "Where was that 50 cents going?" The Reeve ibrought up a second matter and this concerned fence- posts. "The Township had a good supply of pre-war posts on hand," he said, "and some time later on a count, 56 of these were missing. I checked with the Road Superintendent, suspecting theft by someone, and found they had been used to make a fence on the farm. of the Township Clerk. The lame excuse was offered that others were on order and re- placement- would be macle.

"If my neighbours up around Enniskillen see fit ta vote for me with a big head, it's O.K. by me. 1 won't show pictures or run an advt. in the paper. You know my business is sound and if elected to Council I will operate the same way," he said. Noticing the Clerk's Secretary as she went about her duties, Mr. Werry questioned: "Who pays the lady in the office? Can anybody tell me or is that none of my business?" Someone answered: "It doesn't come out of taxpayers' mnoney."
