It is also a time for the successful candidates to show their appreciation of the support given them by treating the crowds that gather. This year it wa agreed by the candidates not to follow the usual custom, but to donate the amount of money usually spent to the Red Cross. This was done and the Bed Cross Society is richer to the tune of $26- The voters^too, were thoroughly behind the move and did not miss their treats, know- ing the money was going to a worthv cause.
