In County Council Session
(By Shirley J. llellpr)
Clarence “Derry” Boyle,
reeve of Exeter, admitted
that he was possibly the
laziest man in Huron County
but said he 'did not find rais-
ing his hand too much effort.
Reeve Boyle made the
statement after some oppo
sition was expressed to Ken
neth , Stewart’s suggestion
that counoillors give a show
of hands on a. non-recorded
Vote instead of the traditional.
chorus of “Carried”^
Stewart, reeve of McKUlop
and last year’s warden’,. said
he often wondered when he
was in the chair if a vote was
parried or not He thought a
show of hands would be the
simplest way for the Warden,
the clerk-dreasuror and" the
deputy clerkdxeasurer to de
termine the truth,
Oddly enough, a show of
hands showed that a show of
hands would be shown on
forthcoming motions or in
pther words, carried.
There were three opposed
to the exercise of raising
hands. They were the Reeve
and Deputy -reeve of Stanley,
Ernie Talbot and Elmer Hay-
ter,' and the Reeve of Gode
rich Township, Grant Stirling.
In neighbouring townships
and slitting all in a row in the
far desks; in the county coun
cil chambers, the three Were
labelled by Clerk John Berry
as from the lazy comer.’”.
