Canisters have been placed in various places of business throughout the town. Anyone wishing to make personal con- tributions may send them to Fire Chief Irwin Ford or Sec- retary Frank Creech. Money raised in the campaign will be used to finance research on muscular dystrophy and re- lated diseases, so that a. treat- ment or cure may be found for them. These diseases - which main- ly afflict children - lay waste to the muscles. They cause pro- gressive paralysis and severely limit the child's life expectancy. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

The local service, to Which all local congregations were invited, was held the day of the president's burial. The service was a requiem eucharist, one offered for the repose of the souls of the faith- ful departed. A crowd of about 100 joined in a requiem sacrament for the late President John F. Kennedy in Trivitt Memorial Anglican church Monday night. Rev. J, Philip Gandon called the late president a man "with burning convictions and the courage to stand by those con- victions." The rector stressed that the assassinated head of the U.S. was "a man whose Christian faith was a vital part of his life". "He knew and loved the word In one of two changes which resulted from McGillivray no- minations Friday afternoon, a father handed over his office to his son. Leslie Morley, 34, son, of veteran councillor Earl Morley, succeeded his father who re- tired because of ill health. Another veteran councillor, and former reeve, Earl. Dixon, also resigned and he was re- placed by Ben Thompson who has served on several different occasions on council in the past. Returned were Reeve Thomas Hall and Councillors Grant Amos and 13ryden Taylor, along with Trustees Ellison Whiting and Donald Scott. No other nominations were made. RAISES ROW The lack of candidates did not eliminate controversy dur- ing the ratepayers' m e e ting which followed. Perennial coun- cil watchdog, Walter Grieve, caused several heated exchan- ges with his pointed questions to the township fathers. He first succeeded in break- ing a long-standing tradition by having someone other than the clerk chair the meeting. For- mer reeve Fred Heaman, who has been appointed treasurer for 1964, took over the chair at Grieve's insistence. Normally Clerk Bill Amos presides. A protest was made when Grieve nominated Heama.n chaired but Grieve shot back: "He (Amos) runs the meeting like a dictator, butts in and answers questions when he shouldn't. He doesn't even have a vote in the township unless there is a tie." To the crowd, Grieve shouted: "All those against, stand up". No one did, but quite a number laughed. Heaman took over the job but said he "never had any objec- tions to Bill (Amos) as chair- man." Grieve's belief that the chair- man should not butt in apparent- ly does not extend to himself. He interrupted numerous times while off i cials were making their reports. Among Grieve's complaints: Protest against the posting of the voters' list in Parkhill, rather than at the township of- fice (other officials thou ght Parkhill, where the office of the clerk is located, was a central and convenient location); A charge that the clerk would not send him a financial report on a municipal drain(irate clerk Amos shouted that he had sent the report by registered letter to Grieve but the latter had refused it--Grieve said he wouldn't accept a registered letter when the clerk drove by his house almost daily); Criticizing council for not having a breakdown of the year' s expenses according to depart- ments (this occurred while Councillor Dixon was giving his annual report on the breakdown of the total tax rate); Drawing attention to a com- ment by the auditors that the treasurer did not keep a separ- ate drainage ledger (Retiring treasurer Patterson said he could account for every cent spent on drains, explaining that the ledger was a new record which the auditors requested); Demanding financial reports on drains constructed in the 1920's and '30's; Wondering why patients in private nursing homes weren't transferred to the county home at Strathroy, where costs were cheaper — "that's discrimina- tion of the worst sort" (Reeve Hall explained that the commit- tee, of which he is a member, should not interfere with the nursing homes and that the county home would soon fill up anyway.) At one point, Councillor Dixon told Grieve: "If there were more like you, there wouldn't be a council".
