In replying to the various toasts, Mr. Kuntz recalled several highlighting events which occurred respecting the company the past quarter cen- tury.

BELL Built, operated and owned by Canadians Forbes, Dunbar Seek Wardenship GODERICH--Reeve Walter J. Forbes of Goderich township and a Reeve Cliff Dunbar of Grey will seek the wardenship of Huron in 1963. 'Their declarations came toward the end of a series of short speeches from all trier- bers at close of the November session. "It is desirable, " said Mr. Dunbar, "that different mem- bers compete for the highest office, and I am going to do that in a spirit of friendly com- petition, The result will be just what you make it, and I will go along with it. It de- pends, of course, upon being returned as reeve of Grey; how- ever, I hope to be back," Reeve Forbes, noting that the airport committee, of which he is a member, is to be absorbed by property commit- tee, dropped a remark about "the only alternative is toseek higher office." Clarence Hanna, popular reeve of East Wawanosh, an- nounced his retirement, and said he "would not be persuad- ed" to seek re-election. Reeve Alvin Smith of Turn - berry noted that no report had been made regarding amplifier service in the council cham- ber. " This is one day we should have had it, " he said, referring to the many persons invited to speak from beside the warden's chair, some of whom he said could not be heard. Reeve Ralph Jewell of Col- borne spoke in favor of a loud speaker system. The matter was left to the property com- mittee to determine whether or not arrangements should be made for the January session. Receiving sets for all deskshad been considered too expensive.
