THE NOMINATIONS -
The town nominations were
held in the town hall, on
Monday night last, and the
interest which the ratepayers
take in the affairs of the town
was evinced by the large turn
out. Nominations were
received from half -past seven
until half -past eight, when
Mayor Scott was voted to the
chair, and the various nomi-
nees had an opportunity of
airing their grievances or
opinions on the questions at
issue in the town. The mayor,
in his address, gave a lucid
and comprehensive report of
the finances of the town, and
of the work done by the
council during the past year,
and the record is one to be
proud of. Mr. B.B. Gunn was
also nominated for the may-
oralty, but resigned in favor
of Mr. Scott, leaving him
elected for a second term by
acclamation. Three candi-
dates were nominated for the
reeveship, Messrs. James
Beattie, Robert Wilson, and
James Watson. but the two
latter having resigned, Mr.
In the Years Agone

beef and poultry in his butch-

trade. Heading the list was a
seven months old calf, fed by
Mr. Peter O'Sullivan, the
well known buyer. This calf,

ing Christmas cards in bun-

JANUARY 4, 1973
Seaforth council held its
inaugural meeting Tuesday
morning when members were
sworn into office by Clerk
E.W. Williams.
Rev. H.J. Laragh asked
divine blessing on council
deliberations. Pointing out
that while election to council
was a great honor, Father
Laragh said at the same time
it imposed a great responsi-
bility.
It is most difficult in the art
of politics to be honest he
said and recalled the fall of
Ontario cabinet ministers
who after so many years had
become careless.
This recognition of honesty
must be the great principal
which must underlay and
guide your every decision, he
told councillors as he referred
to Mayor Sills who he said he
made his reputation on hon-
esty.
Sworn in were: Mayor
F.C.J. Sills, Reeve John
Flannery, Deputy Reeve
Wilmer Cuthill and
Councillors Wayne Ellis,
George Hildebrand, Betty
Cardno, James Crocker, John
Sinnamon and Wm. Bennett.
