The new faces were not a result of the old being rejected by the voters but rather a case of many of the old officials not running again. After winning the first mayoralty race in Bowmanville in 15 years, Mr. Hobbs said, "I'm more than happy. During the past six years I have been conscientious and sincere in dealing with the affairs of the people. I think my experience was the deciding factor." He said there were no issues in the campaign and he had no specific plans for the coming term. "There has been a_ terrific turnover in council. There will probably be many new ideas but they will have to be ana- lyzed and talked over with the new council." Coun. Annie Oke moved up to reeve by defeating deputy-| reeve Wesley FE.

And the messenger was the youngest, and one of the live- liest, French Canadians in the federal government -- Jean Chretien, Minister without port- folio. At 33 he is the youngest minister in the present govern- ment and the second young- est since Confederation. ag Canada will stick together, I'm very confident, because the new generation in Canada un- derstands the problem and par- ticularly in English Canada," he said in his heavily French accent. He learned English from his wife who is bilingual. "There is still' impatience in Quebec because they are look- ing to the past. But when I see the goodwill of English Canada, and particularly the younger generation, I think Canada will stick together." Mr. Chretien a Mitchell Sharp aide was answering a students question. He said that for years and years Quebecers had felt that, they had no place in the country but now the situation was improving every day. At one time, in Quebec, they were inclined to blame every- thing on the federal government. But now talks between the pro- vinces was changing all that, and he mentioned the value of the recent Confederation of To- morrow Conference's value in this direction.

He also stressed the need to introduce French into the Cunningham Edges Reeve NEWCASTLE (Staff) -- D. J. Cunningham was elected reeve here last night by a slim 46 votes over incumbent E, A. Watton.

There were places in Ontario where the population was al- most entirely French and in New. Brunswick 40 per cent of the people were French - speak- ing. "So these people should have the necessary schools and I'm very happy and optimistic now that people in the provinces are opening their minds on the subject, as we are in Quebec." Earlier, Mr. Chretien, who represents the St. Maurice, Que- bec riding, said.Canadians were building an exciting country and despite the country's youth it now had the second highest standard of living in the world. He attacked those who were always complaining about Can- ada, '"'When we look at the mother countries we see that they are much less fortunate than ourselves. There are a lot of things we can improve but we should realize that we have achieved a lot." . He stressed Canada's unique try based on the two finesf surprised at winning' but was|he said.

When he was asked whether he had now received the city permit, Hooper said he hadn't and had not been given a reason for the refusal. City solicotor Hugh Couch suggested to Hooper the reason was the fact that Hooper is a city fireman and the terms of the collective agreement with the firemen prohibits outside employment.

"As far as we are concerned, there was as much work in- volved as if we had a 100 per cent vote," said Mr. Barrand. The last liquor referendum in the city was in 1965, when resi- dents approved licensed liquor lounges. Yesterday's vote resulted from a request Jan. 18 by Car- ousel Inn of Oshawa Ltd. bank employees and asked her to help him. He told her that a taxi would pick her up and take her to the bank, where she was to withdraw $1,460 from her ac- count. She was then to walk north on Simcoe Street, where she would be met by a de- tective. He told her not to tell anyone, including the bank manager or the police, what she was doing or why she was withdrawing the money. The woman contacted police and told them about the are rangentent and then took the taxi to the bank where she was met by city detectives who stopped her. Det. Sgt. John Powell 'said, "We don't want anybody taken over the holiday. We know they are in the. area and are going to try." Det. Sgt. Powell asked that the public be on the alert, espe- cially elderly citizens and pen- sioners, to the danger of bank fraud artists. He pointed out that "no bank will involve cus- tomers in investigations at any time." He said the first place to call when one receives such a call is the city police department. "We will tell them what to do." He emphasized the impor tance of making such a call directly, because fraud artists have been known in the past to impersonate police officers in order to reassure victims,
