He had served in coun- ty council for 10 consecutive years and on as many different committees, "This has been a clean • cam- paign," he said, "and the worst I can -say of my opponents is that they are fine• gentlemen and good county councillors."

"Many of our Iocal munieipaii ties are having discussions with regard to mutual fire protection, and I think it all shows that the county is getting smaller and we must co-operate more, both rural and urban. Many of these things will not come about this year or next; some perhaps never, but the time has come., to study theni."
