mcconnell and henry officially nominated ccf candidate also in field in east york where stouff ville electors will cast their ballots hill still sinking the all only six names added to list only six names were added to the voters list in stouffville when his honor judge parker held a court of revision to bring the local list up to date for the election on october 6 neither of the old parties liberal or conservative were represented at the sittings so the judge and clerk j s dougher ty had it all to themselves however the changes had been previously filed and it was not necessary for anyone to do any pleading prob ably due to the fact that the court was held on daylight saving those who might have been present were foaled as daylight saving time is not recognized in stouffvule the small number of changes only emphasizes this papers previous contention that there is no need of going to the expense of printing a whole new voters list when it would be a simple matter for the judge

is recalled that a similar situa tion was encounted when the cnr built their line through vandorf that was close to the present trouble and is possibly a continua tion of the same quicksand bed the
