The story begins with an investi- gation into the failure of 'a fully- loaded Phoenix to become airborne 'on takeoff. By a miracle there. is only one death; however, not even the pilot, George Gort could ex- plain -what happened, The court of inquiry placed the blame on him. It was unthinkable to them that the Phoenix could have any weakness of structure, design or performance. Captain Hugh Dal- lel, pilot-trainer for the company was tormented 'by unanswered questions. Partly because ;he loved Gert's daughter, and she had im-. mense faith in her father's practise pellormance according to given instructions; and partly because he had to make sure that no such .accident occurred again, he tore aside. yards of red tape that threat- ened to immobilize him, Small pieces clicked slowly into place in the puzzle, and the final tragedy revealed the face of Truth. . • David Beaty's flying stories al-• ways pulse with excitement—and 'Cone . of 'Silence' is a worthy suc- cessor to his former excellent novels, with the old fellow are Ken Taylor, Wayne Scutt, Nettie Cerson and.

Taxes are 85% paid, Building permits for the year totalled over , $300,000, He offered his services as a councillor for the coming year. jack Gorbutt Councillor Gorbutt con tined his remarks to a report of the activity of the fire 'department, which had looked after a total •of 49' calls in town and district. He also said he would be willing to servo for an- other year on the council. • Nasinith Councillor Nasmith, in his open- .ing remarks, :said 'he had beeerpe very. interested in the work of the council 'and that• he would be glad' to continue on the board. Refer- ring to some of the problems which face the chairman of the public worke department he said, "I would be delighted if someone would find a machine to plow out our streets without filling tin the driveways." The speaker referred specifically to the services of the mayor and' said the town is very fortunate to have a man who is so enthusiastic and gives of his time so freely. The street committee is pleasbd. With the job done in paving the streets and the quality of work- manship. Looking ' to the future, Mr. Nesmith said that the rebuild- ing of,, a considerable amount of sidewalk would be one of the major projects for next year, and con- cluded with' the warning, "Our spending spree isn't over." Harold Pocoen Co'uneillor Pocock sail it takes a "lot of blood, sweat and tears" to on the child population, said the chairman, the taxpayers will haVe to face the fact that another ad- dition to .the school will be required in two years' time. He said he has been asked. why the board builds only small adlitions at one time when a larger wing might be added at a lower cost per room. The answer, he stated, lies with the department of education, whiCh will not pay grants for construction not required in the immediate future. An innovation at the .school will be the purchase of three or fotir television sets in January for .the recreation of certain lesson 'helps which arc to be televised by the department, Following Mr. Bennett's remarks the,,new board meinber;,Bill•Harri8;, .expressed his appreciation for the honor and his intention to serve • to the best of his ability. Other Nominees John P. McKibbon, second nom- inee 'for the recVeship, extended his congratulations to the mayor . on re-election and the work he has done for .the town. The speaker said he was inter- ested in county' council, and that as far as he could see the 'county costs the town of Wingharn too much money; for which we get very little in return. "This year," he said, "paYments to the county are $34,020. What do we get for it?" In reference to the new addition to the, county home Mr. McKibben said he could recall the late Reissell T. Kelley,' minister of health say- ing that there should• not be any county old, people's homes at all: "We should be looking after o'ur old people in Wingham, not Clin- ton," he said, '"Let's use a little Serve adequately as a councillor, but the work is most interesting, As chairman of the recreation committee he was pleased, with the accomplishments in this depart- ment.

He said that he was prepared to serve for another year' on council. R. IL Lloyd , Returned as' a member of the Public Utilities Commission by ac clarnation, R. II, Lloyd made sonic interesting comparisons. In 1920, he said, the year Winghanf was tied in With the" HEPO, the' town had contracted for 400 horsepower, which was more than' was actually required. pli9-"'Chu:ligare had increased to 2;800 horsepower. The amount has clOubled .in the past eight years, • _ Mr, Lloyd said that the present substation is overloaded and will have to he expanded ,soon. Since th4 newsindustry wilt require some 200,000 gallons of water, a day, the PUC may find it necessary to ex- pand its ,pumping facilities.

In local matter§ Mr. IVIcKibbon said the town hall is only half painted and that the state of the arena is a disgrace to the town, He also 'voiced 'the opinion that we, should have. had a sewage disposal plant 15 years ago and that the proposal to permit new- industry to throW 209,000 gallons of water a day into the river was a 'tre- mendous waste of a valtiable• corn-. modity. • • As a nominee. for Council W.
