Councillor Harry Klungel announced this week that he would seek election to the post to be vacated by Harold Knight. Previously, Coun- cillor Paul Neilands had stated that he would run for Hensall Bertha BI.Grcgor the reeve's post upon Knight's retirement. • Knight held the position for some time and was never challenged. Reports indicate that a former reeve, Minnie Noakes, may attempt a comeback and would run for a council post. In his announcement this week, Klungel 'said would like to see Hensall embark on a project to bead housing facilities for senior citizens, similar to the geared -to -income units in Zurich and Exeter. He suggested that people who have lived in Hensall for most of their lives should be able to stay in the com- munity in their senior years and not have to move elsewhere. Klungel, who has served four years on council, also indicated he would like to see Hensall undertake a com- munity betterment program of some type. "It (the village) just doesn't look as pretty as it did 15 years ago," he commented. While agreeing that private landowners had to accept the major challenge in that regard, he said that if the council gives them some incentive it would pay dividends. The former owner of the Queensway Nursing Home suggested he would also like to see the businessmen organize a chamber of commerce or some similar organization to improve their . individual status, noting that it is becoming rough for small businessmen to maintain their position in view of the increased competition from major shopping facilities in the area.
