Mrs. Davis refuses to make any iron -clad pre-election promises because "no matter what council wants to do, it has to be approved by county council or regional or provin- cial government" but pro- mises to judge all decisions by asking "is this beneficial for Hensall or not". She said she would like the residents of Hensall to know she will always make herself available to anyone in need of help and do her best to help solve any genuine beef they may have with council. .I111111111I111111111 The Light Touch B JACK LAVENDER What this country_ needs is a bumper= that's as strong as the= political opinions that= are stuck to it. * * - * * E Arch criminal: a fellow= who robs shoe stores.
