down for one councillor who had served several terms and arjlup tor an aspirant making a second try for office we con gratulate the successful candidates and extend condolences to those who didnt make the grade we were particularly impressed this year with the number of men and women offer ing to serve as council members the job is not an easy one public service has its rewards and its discouragements and it is not a job for which many people have both the time and ability to fulfil from what we know of the thirteen can didates this year we feel safe in saying that any group of six would have done a good job for georgetown perhaps another year some will be back for another try as council tor alfred sykes bids his adieu from the council table we can say that he will be missed

mistakes that first not shouldnt have appeared the phrase may be timeworn but the only thing which can describe this saturdays santa claus parade in townjs bigger and better than ever at least 25 floats are promised for the par ade this year and if they live up to the standard set the past few years they will be well worth seeing in its own way the local parade is on a par with thosein larger
