"I am a member of the Rate- payers Association but I was not consulted when this slate was se- lected," said Mr. McIntyre amid laughter. He took issue with Mr. Mace that there would any "lapse" in the payment of Ajax's share of county rate and said it would ap- ply in 1951. Mayoralty Candidates Running for mayor, William El- liott said: "In the face of this town's heavy debt, it would be im- possible for me or any other can- didate to proclaim ahy program of progressive work, Already six mills of next year's taxes have been spent. In my opinion, the state of world unrest today is such that we will have to prohibit heavy loc- al spending in the future." Mr. El- 'liott said that there is a whisper- ing campaign on foot that alleges he had broken with the church of which he is a life-long member, and he branded it as "a detestable lie." Mayor Harry Jermyn pointed out that the town's over-all debenture debt i> considerably lower than one year ago and that everything points to a fine future for Whitby. He briefly defended the 1950 works PrOFIam as being completely justi- "Other Candidates Joseph McLaren, a candidate for council, gave an excellent account- ing of his work this year, pointing out matters to which he would give more attention in future. Roy Rosseau, running for coun- cil, sald he has no criticism of what council has done last year and he called on the voters to make sound selections and to sup- port all who are elected. Alex Scott, for council: "If elect- ed, I will use sound judgment and give unbiased opinions." Nick Strynatka: "My home is here; my children go to school here, I am intensely interested in Whitby so I decided to offer to do my bit for the town if you want me. If elected, I will give my very best, remembering that in serving the citizens as a whole, I am also making it a better town for my own family." Arnold Thrash: "I am confl- dent Whitby is a town with a good future. I have no criticism of the 1950 council. I will do my best if elected." Earl Bryant, for P.U.C.: "I have been in business here five years. I have always enjoyed good cooper- ation from the P.UC. I will be glad «to serve on the commission, if elected." Councillor Russell Underwood sent a letter to the meeting voic- ing his regrets that he would be unable to attend. Zverett Pogson: "I have been on suunell for two years and feel I have qualifications to sit on the Utilities Commission, I have no axe to grind with anyone on the PUC" Kenneth Lee: "I have heard that I belong to a 'clique.' That is not true. You all know I had three years on council before and I am willing to serve again." Mr, Lee re- vealed that he would be willing to the funds from the Allin te on the erection of a new rink. Seymour Whitney, an old cam- paigner, announced that he is run- ning for deputy-reeve for the last time, With old-time election fire, Mr. Whitney defended the record of the 1950 council and said that even the money spent over-and- above the budget, was necessary and justified for the welfare of citizens, "Don't quibble over a few dollars, if it make Whitby a beeter place to live," sald Mr. Whitney, Oscar Moore reported on a suc- | cessful year in his capacity as Concert and Social Honor St. Andrew Without the bagpipes no celebra- tion of "St. Andrew's Night would be complete, and so it was last night, when a large number as- sembled in St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church to honor the memory of Scotland's patron saint. Pipers J. McClellan and George Bell, of Oshawa led off a very fine program and gave several numbers which made many present think of thé land of the heather hills, The celebration was under the auspices of the Women's Associ- ation of St. Andrew's, of which Mrs. Herbert L. Wilson is president, and Mrs, P. Spratt was in charge of the program. The minister, Rev. David Marshall, in his usual ac- ceptable manner, presided. Mrs. Spratt was accompanist for the various artists. Tartans arranged on the plat- form were reminders of the many historic and illustrious Scottish clans. Taking part in the program was Miss Joan Wilson, who sang three very popular Scotch numbers and an entirely new number, "Count Your Blessings," which she brought from England this summer, and which she had never sung before, It was very beautiful and render- ed with great effect, David Reid, head of a talented family which came out from Scotland not so long ago, gave several numbers, mostly Scotch of course, while his daugh- ter, Nancy, danced the Highland fling and the sword dance. Miss Blackstone, elocutionist, a member of the OL.C. faculty gave several readings and certainly merited the applause she received. The ancient and honorable art of magic was demonstrated by Mr. J. Nelson, a teacher at Dunbarton, and a young man who demonstrated great skill and promise, He certainly made & |% hit with his audience and his num- bers added much to the variety and |: enjoyment of the program. After several numbers by the pipers, and the time honored "Auld || Lang Syne," the members of. the Women's Association severed dainty refreshments.

Velvet will be the leading fabric in the London millinery world this season, and even the famous peach bloom velour is taking second place. This may be because there is more and more inclination in the work- rooms to "build up", as it were ,a odel. Certainly the new velvet els demand the greatest skill sine the foundation on which each is built must first be made before the ' material is draped over it. Velvet is popular, too, because of its softening effect and because it lends itself more effectively to a feather trimming even than does a velour. But the large hat has failed to secure a following, women seem to prefer a small hat which frames the face and can provide a good background for a beautiful feather trimming. Colors most popular are rich deep jewel tones which can, in fact, be matched by two or three pieces of really fine Jewellery.
