T., THURSDAY, JANUARY 1 Single Copy Se. feck ors | [Peel's Acclomation| 21st Consecutive For Village Reeve Port Perry stayed true to form last week as Harry: Peel was acclaimed Reeve. for 1958--the 21st consecutive acclamation for the Reeveship of the village. As result of this acclamation Mr. Peel became the 14th man to head the local council since 1907. The record for the longest term as Reeve goes to W. M, Letcher who held the honoured 'position for 18 years, almost twice as long as the late George Gerow who was Reeve from 1911 to 1917. Ac- cording to reports Mr. Letcher was' the last man to contest the Reeveship, when he 'opposed' Robert Somerville in 1982. A successful hardwareman, Mr. Peel, in taking over the chair, has an experienced group of ¢ouncillors who have a variety of experience in various businesses in town.
