council should soon be giving serious consideration to proposals for updating its rules of pro cedurc Since two year tcrms were made mandatory for municipal councils by provincial legislation couple of ycrs ago it was suggested with merit that terms for courtly wardens also might be cxtcndcd ommittec appointments also would seem to be ap propiratc if made for the longer terms as well These changes would give the warden and committee members longer opportunity of becoming acquainth with their responsiblitics and could improvc efficient operation The present rules of procedure now followed were drawn up few years ago when oncy 3111 terms were general for municipal councils and their elected council representatives Vlhen considering procedures the county council also could serve the public interest by pondering further up dating of rules for municipalities to qualify for deputy reeves In 1972 when there was pressing demand for reduction in the county membershipof 36 it was lecidcd that minimum of 2500 qualified clcctors instead of the previous 100 should be required for municipality to be represented by deptuy rcevc This rcduccd the membership to 48 which didnt meet all

boss that his notes were harmless and that he was not Western spy the old and everlastingly dumb reason for journalists arrest Instead the black emperor brought his heavy stick of authority down on ioldsmiths head with such strength that it caused deep wound and knocked him out When he recovered in filthy cell blood was pouring from that and other wounds lie was given no medical treatment and served bland manioc standard African tapiocalike dish for days Then for no apparent reason the emperors doctor did arrive gave him now essential an tibiotics and antitetanus serum and he received one

Mistreatment of newsman in Africa is puzzling to the imperial palace there to be told by the emperor he was always to be considered an intimate member of the emperors family KISS IIEEK The emperor personally saw him to the Parisbound plane and kissed him goodbye three times on each check What can one say about this ldi Amin style treatment in another country of black Africa and by another quixotic tyrant Well there is no way whatsoever to analyze this kind of turning on and off of brutality and courtesy Bokassa like Amin learned whatever Western ways he as from service as sergeant in colonial army French not Britis And in time he became the president of the former colony in which he had served asa noncommissioned officer of the colonial power Goldsmith was in the Central African

months and fined This law was one of the steps taken by King Louis XIV to increasc thc ixipulation of Can ada He tried to casc thc blow by giving each couple gift of 40 livrcs It is difficult to
