Another Christmas feature
Few changes resulted in area
municipalities as voters went to
the polls on Monday to elect
council and school board repre-
sentatives.
In elections, which in most
cases attracted slightly more
than half 'of those eligible to
vote, most candidates seeking
reelection were returned,
One exception was in Dublin
where 145 voters out of 149
eligible cast ballots in an election
for village trustees.
Joe Cronin was returned to
head the polls with 82 votes.
The remaining positions went to
Ken Whetham and Don MacRae
who tied with 73 each. The
fourth candidate was Herb Brown
with 67.
John Henderson of McKillop
headed the polls as he was re-
turned as one of two trustees
to represent McKillop, Hullett
Blyth and Clinton on the Huron
Board of Education, Dr. A.
Addison of Clinton was the second
trustee elected.
Present trustees John Broad-
foot of Brucefield and Mrs.Molly
Kunder of Seaforth were returned
to the Huron Board representing
Seaforth, Tuckersmith,Stanley
and Hayfield while Michael Con-
nolly was returned from the
same area to the Huron-Perth
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board.
Mrs. Betty Cardno headed
the polls in Seaforth with 527
votes repeating her election of
two years ago when she also
headed the polls. All members
of the present council who sought
office were re-elected. A new
member, Dave Tremeer received
strong support with 400 votes
polled. Interest in the election
for Separate School trustee ran
high in town when 81% of those
eligible to vote turned out. In
the council election 53.35% voted.
In Stanley Township in an
election for council, Paul Steckle,
a newcomer, headed the polls
with 423 votes. p.

her bid to win a seat on Tucker-
smith council as voters returned
