The Brussels Post, 1938-12-28, Page 1POST PUBLISHING HOUSE BRUSSELS, ONTARIO L. E. Cardiff Reeve by Acclamation In Morris. Awell attended- nomhation meet• tug in eletz'ie township hall, on lro. clay afternoon of last week, return. ed the reeveehip to L. E. Cardiff by acclamation, All other 1938 ' of flees were filled In a similar manner as follows: reeve, L. E, Cardiff; councillors, itobt, Wallace, Ed, l3ryans,1!". Duncan and C. wheeler. Wm. Henderson was also nomin- ated for reeve and it was thought there would be an election but Mr. Henderson failed to qualify with- drawing in favour of Mr. Cardiff and so avoiding an election, Nominees and others spoke on township +business. Mr. 'Cardiff reviewed •the township flnaucial statement and spoke at length ou County Council affairs. Suggested Welfare Committee The -Editor, "The Poet." Sir: I am writing to suggest the form- ation of a welfare committee for the village, a committee that would act as an auxiliary to the, 'welfare de- partment of the Council. Every winter this winter included, ' famil- ies on relief have inentonetb to ' me how hard t fe for them to get along on the amount allowed, and there are also other famlilies in town not ou relief, and yet a little financial assistance would be a great bless, ing to them. ,Lest I -should nee misunderstood let me say that -these families do not belong to any pertioular Church. My suggestion is• .that I myself would take . the initiative in talking the matter over with representative people in town, I have already dis• cussed the proposal with Mr. Kerr, the Reeve, who would be quite in favour of it, and that then we might ,form a committee and put on, say, a couple of Euchres, and then a committee of about three would have lull charge of dispenaiieg the relief anonymously to •those In need, This suggestion Is of course no criticism of the Council, but 1s instead en effort to help the Council in ,this regard, the money would be raised fn town and spent in town, and would help some of the citizens through the winter. +I em sorry that 1 Irappen to be leaving town about the middle of January, but if it is decided to put on a Euchre for this purpose before then, I will help 1t all I can. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, (Rev.) Sohn Graham H.
