VOL. 76â€"NO. 3885 Town Council Receive Acclamation For 1942 and three new members for the Pub-l llc School Trustee Board were all re-; turned by acclamatlons when the hour for quallfying rolled around Tuesday.

Only a small crowd turned out onf Monday night for the nomination 01 i candidates for next vear’s Council and other civic positions, and the crowd on hand was not even enthusiastic. It was a rather cold night, the new gaso- line law has ordered the service sta- tions closed at 7 o‘clock, there was no place else to go, and perhaps this was responsible for fifty per cent. of the attendance on hand. While one speaker referred to a recent article in; this newspaper saying a slim meeting might mean that the people were sat- isiied with last year’s oiiicials, there was an insinuation in his expression that possibly we should have used the word "disgust" also .However, this was net the case. This was little or no criti- cism generally, and at the close there was the old, old mystery regarding an election. We would know nothing until after 9 o'clock Tuesday night when hour for qualifying had passed. .lvwâ€" â€"_ Clerk B. H.

Next, .................. 5a PRIME MINISTER: CHURCHILL who delivered stirring addresses last week in Washington, and Tues- day of this at Ottawa. Mr. Church- ill is confident of victory, but told his hearers they should not be over-confident. We will win, but it will try us from all angles. In New York and Washington rumours flew thick and fast, and one of them was that Britain’s Prime Minister arrived at the White House carrying a “six-shooter” cane. The source of this was a pho- tograph published in neWSpapers, which showed an odd-looking con- traption near the handle of Mr. Churchill‘s walking-stick. It was a good yarn, but the British press spiked it with an announcement that the gadget, instead of shooting bullets, shoots a thin beam of light. Lots of people in Britain, it wasa explained, carry similar flashlight canes for using in blackouts. nanced. Referring to the érey County Home he said conditions there were much better. The committee had ad- opted a new method. and met with the inmates to discuss their complaints. A (Want) DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, Walkerton Here Friday Night A.
