Alexander Russell, a re- sident of Lucknow since 1937, died la the Wingham General Hospital on Nov, 18th, after -a long illness. He was born in Cobourg, a son of the late Alexander Russell and Nancy Brown. He attended pub- lic and high school there and took up farming as his occupation. lie later became a grate buyer for the brokerage firm of Equity and Fed- eral, Mr. Russell rdtired in 19$6. His wife, who survives, is the former Jean Campbell of Cobourg, whom he married in Winnipeg in 1909, There are two sons .and two daughters, Stewart of Regina and James of Kitchener, Miss Isabel Russell of Regina and Nan (Mrs. W, A. McKibbon) of Wingham., Five grandhcildren and a sister, Mrs. Flora Arthur, California, also survive. Mr. Russell was 94, He was al- ways p'roud of being born one year before Confederation, and was an ardent reader until his eyesight failed. He was a member of the Lucknow Presbyterian Church and the Oddfellowa Lodge, Dr. Alexander Nimmo officiated on Nov. 20th, when funeral service was held at the Johnston funeral home, Lucknow. The pallbearers were Stuart Robertson, Cameron MacDonald, Gordon Fisher, Ken Murdle, Mr. Blake and Mr. Mc- Millan. Interment was in the Wingliam cemetery. Town Nomination being formulated to fix up the ar- ena, as the old front is no longer safe. Council. hopes to have this project started in the coming year. In closing the mayor compli- mented Councillor G. W. Buchanan on his efforts on the industrial committee, and • added his com- mendation of the work of the town employees. . County Affairs Reeve Roy Adair*outlined some of the work going on •at COunty by saying that he appreciated the nomination, but hoped 'that young- er men would stand and do a good job in council, G. W. Cruickshank said his no- mination was unexpected. He was happy with the past adrniristration but said he would stand : for of- fice if the other nominees would do the same. Herb Fuller expressed, apprecia- tion for his nomination, but due. to his position as a member of the public school board would not he able to qualify, He. spoke briefly on school afairs, and pointed to the fact that in the 15 years he has served on the board over 3,000. children have attended the school. DeWitt Miller, following his ac- clamation -to the Public Utilities ComMissita. spoke 'briefly, explain- ing that the efforts of the commis- sion had been ifeutine during the year, with the exception of the erection of the new street lights. He suggested that -if hydro de- mands continue to increase, great- er capacity will be required at the substetion. A survey of water fa-- iclities indicated that there is ade- quate supply, even for a larger de- mand, Mr. Miller, who is also a mem- ber of the Wingham General Hos- pital Board, told the audience some of the problems facing that insti- tution. He said 136 patients were registered on that particular. day, in a building which is. supposed to provide only 94 beds, It is appar- ent, he said, that an addition will be required before long and in all probability the local area will have to raise a large share of the costs, A new wing would probably cost as much as $350,000. The county, he said, is reviewing hospital grants and has created a special reserve fund for this purpose, School. Board Roy Bennett, chairman of the public school hoard, spoke on some of the work being done at the school. Enrolment, he pointed ,Qut, is running about 508 children. *The principal is no longer expected to take classes, so 'that his time is available for ad- ministrative work. Scott Reid, another school trus- tee, said the school is now operat- ing 16 rooms and is well filled. He voiced the opinion that more citi- zens should be prepared to act on the school board. . John W. Hanna spoke of the fine reputation of the town in prOvin- cial circles and suggested that all municipal organizations should keep in close touch with the var- ious departments of the Ontario government. He closed by extend- ing his best wishes to the 1961 council. Township Elections Continued from Page One. William Dettmaa and Cletus Ret- -, • *," • Unger.

Donald Nesmith remarked that it was fortunate that Mayor Mc- Kinney would once again he at the helm. He suggested that if the town had a motto it should be "The town that is planning to grow". Orderly plans for such growth are being formulated, he said, and will continue with some assistance from the Planning Board on zoning and by-laws, Gordon Buchanan said that the fine points in the community had been covered by'the 'tither speakers, 'bid mentioned the ;work of the in- dustrial committee. He said that the' rubber compiny which pur- chaaed the Anglaaaproperty has de- ,liared plans for estision, hut when such expansion does take place it will definitely be in Wingham. He also said that the town is not of- the three school board openings: Stuart Douglas, Clare Harris, feting great inducements, such as Leonard Sanderson and Cecil Wil-fixed assessment, to prospective in- Fxm. dustries, 'because it is' felt that in- coming businesses should not have to lean on the taxpayers.

He did not indicate his pinotierinttions about standing at that Elmer Wilkinson spoke Of has previous experience on council and did net agree that the town Would neeessatily grow, He was critical of the curbing which had been -placed on the main street during the year, saying it is hard to sweep up the litter. He claimed that council had not acted in the pro. aer way when the painting tract for the town hall was given to art outsider, and the same held true for the curbing.
