In announcing that he would also stand, Deputy-reeve Duffy stated, "I don't know what I have done in my 18 years in public life which would entitle me to the hon- or of being warden. On the other hand, I don't know what I have done which should deny me the honor." Reeve Bain, in declining, stated that, if he is again elected reeve of Scott Township, he will certain- ly seek the warden's chair next year. Reeve Lee observed that Whithy had held the wardenship in 1951. "It would not be fair if Whitby were so honored again so soon," said he as he withdrew.
