Ever since he retired from ,the farm
in Hibbert Township, Joseph Nagle
has wanted ,to leave this part of the
country to visit relatives. He was all
set to go one year When a delegation
of ratepayers ;persuaded him to enter
the race for Reeveship. He listened
to them. That was ten years ago. He
was eleoted and lie's been Reeve ever
since. But he won't Ibe reeve again.

because he says so. Reeve Nagle is
going traveling and "don't expect
me ;back" he told members of the
Perth County Council late Saturday
afternoon at its last session for 11138,
Reeve 'Nagle announced some

year, presented Reeve, ,Nagle with a
traveling bag and cane while Warden.

dress: To County Councilor Joseph
Nagle, Reeve of Hilbert Township:
"It has come to the attention of
your fellow councilors and county of
ficials that you have decided to retire
from your place as one of our num-
iber. We felt that the occasion should
pass .without :some tangible evidence
of our appreciation of your services
and of the •high esteem by which you
are held by vs as welt as your own
ho•we 'people. The fullness of your
experience, the (kindness . sof your
experience, the kindness af your
manner, the diligence of your ways,
and the wisdotn of your counsel; all
have ,marked you as an outstanding

may, recall with pleasure the many
years ,af association with ars we ask
you to accept this address and this
gift as a token of our sincere good,
will and best wishes for your future
happiness."
Reeve Nagle started this reply.
"Mr. Warden," he said.—There ,was
a .long pause: Finally lie cleared his
throat and started over again.
"Due to my somewhat prolonged
lifetime, I've .been called upon to face
a task of making a speech upon an
occasion like this. When I first tame
here you saw a lot of rough edges
and unfinished corners in ane to Ibe
rounded off,. 13y viy association with
you, and enjoying your companion-
lhip, 1 have (benefited. I'm afraid
those who bad the drawing up of
That address were extremely charit-
able in view of my shortcomings.
They.overlooked many things. I'm
glad you didn't pay too much atten-
tion to my mistakes. I sincerely made
a real effort to represent the feelings
and wishes of .the taxpayers an the
sideroads and concessions, 'the men
who are always forgotten. I was here
not only asa representative of Hib-
bert but of every ,community in the
County of Perth, I tried to see as far
as .f could that •fhe north would meet
the south and the east meet the west
in 'a spirit of goodwill and :brother-
hood as I desire to meet each one ,of
you." Reeve Nagle told of his first
experience in municipal elections.
