He referred to the national difficulties of financing such a town and emphasized the. fact that the itown needed the fullest. €oâ€"op;â€" eration and assistance and the sugges tions for improvements or beneficial changes, and particularly for any posâ€" sible economies. None were in better What appears to be a uniqute event of its kind, at leaist in this North Land, and very probably in Canada, was the banquet held recently at Cobalt. This municipal banquet was the secrond anâ€" mual event of its kind, the same form of banquet with a similar list of guests of honour being held in January of 1942. Timmins has had for some twenâ€" tyâ€"five years a sont of municipal banâ€" quetâ€"the Volunteer Firemon‘s annual eventâ€"to which the mayor and council are always invited as guests of honour. In recenit years the Kiwanis Club here has made a bractics each year of actâ€" ng as hosts to the mavor and council. The Cobalt event, however, differs from both these enjoyable and pleasing Timmins events, The ‘Cobalt banquet is given by the mayor and council and ‘he guests of honour are the municipal employees, the voliunteer firemen, the Medical Health Officer, the Victorian Order Nurse, and others connected with the work of the municipality. The obâ€" ject of the banquet was explained by Councillor ‘Gordon Warren, who acted as chairman. He said it was to show appreciation for the services of the varâ€" ious town employees and the others helping in the administration of ‘the: town and its various services. He thankâ€". ed them for their coâ€"cperation during the past year and hoped that it woula J continue. Many people will be inclined to feel that the mayor and council of Cobalt "have something" in this banquet idea. There is usually criticism enough of town employees in the ordinary town, though anyone who follows municipal matters very closely will gengrally be impresged with the faithful and effecâ€" tive gervice given in the average munâ€" icipality by the genseral run of municâ€" ipal emiployees.
