Russell,
Lucknow Resident
William. 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.

out that with the co-poeration of

Donald Nesmith remarked that
it was fortunate that Mayor Mc-
Kinney would once again he at 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,

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.
Mr. Buchanan also expressed his
satisfaction with the work which
has been done by the parks hoard

when not only the property west

of the bridge will also he improved.
