His reputation spread throughout the province and he ev- entually signed to play with Port Colobrne Sailors in the senior o.H,t1.. Faster company was to his liking and before long he was signed to a pro- fessional contract with the Toronto St. Patricks (now the Toronto Maple Leafs), playing for them throughout the seasons of 1923-24 and 1924-25, Captain'Reid went to Straford and during 'he winter of 1925-20 was a member of the Stratford Nationals in the former Can -Pro Professional Hockey League.

EDITOR: AiAR SIR: --Be kind enough to give space in your valuable journal to the following: These are my rea- sons for desiring a December election. First, usually the weather is of such a nature in the first week of Decem- ber, as to permit those who have difficulty in getting about to get out to vote, my greatest desire is to see as many voters as possible out. Secondly, it is very inconvenient fcr a business man or any other man or woman to be tied up in an election campaign during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Thirdly, a great number of the municipalities have changed to De- cember election, and if they have something good we want it. For fur- ther information on this read your daily newspapers. And finally, it has been said that the later elate of January provides an opportunity to present the public with a financial statement of our community; this is incorrect as we have 110 authentic financial report until the auditors report is presented This report was presented to the council and the citizens this year (1940) on Feb. 15th, so you may un- derstand that any financial report that we might get in either Dec. or Jan. must be just a provisional one, Thanking you, I am, Your •obedient servant, —MORGAN J. AGNEW. Re Early Elections Goderich Township has had early elections for a number of years and would not return to the January elec- tions for a number of reasons. First of all, the roads are always blocked or so deep; with snow that people would rather stay hone than to go through so much discomfort to vote. Then there is the holiday season, no one is going to worry or discuss elec- tions at Christmas or New Year' with so many other things on their minds. Accounts can just as well be wound up in December as in January. There will also be a larger poll on account of the better weather and a much larger' attendance, they also take More interest: .•'A .FORMER TOWNSHIP • • .: C'OUNCILLO'R.
