WALTON NEWS OF THE , WEEK Library Elects Officers The annual meeting of the Walton Public Library was held Tuesday afternoon with Walter Shortreed as chairman. Mrs. L. Leeming acted as secretary in the absence of Miss Ethel Den- nis. The chairman stated that Walton Library had one of the largest circulation of books of any Library in Huron County, also the biggest increase of membership for the year. This speaks highly for the members of Walton Library. The treasurer's report was read by Mrs. L. Leeming. A committee, consisting of Walter Shortreed and Emerson Mit- chell, was appointed to look af- ter getting a different heating system for the library. The same committee, Mrs. William Coutts, Mrs. H. Craig and Miss Ethel Dennis, was left in charge of the redecorating of the lib- rary. Election of officers for 1963 resulted as follows: Honorary chairman, Walter Shortreed; chairman, Emerson Mitchell; vice-chairman, Rev. A.- Higgin- botham ; secretary - treasurer, Miss Ethel Dennis; librarian, Mrs. Torrance Dundas; auditor, Leonard Leeming. The librarian, Mrs. Dundas, reported that 1,170 books have been ,in circulation' during the year from the travelling lib- rary, besides numerous other books from other shelves. Twen- ty-five members joined for the year 1962 and 10 part-time members, making a total mem- bership of 35. She also conimented on the promptness of the readers in returning their books in the two-week allotment of time. This gives each member a bet- ter chance to secure the dif- ferent books available and gives a greater circulation. The lib- rary will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 25, but will be open Mon- day, Dec. 31: It was decided to have the library open Friday afternoons until April 30, to see, if it prove worthwhile, be- ginning the first Friday in Janu- ary. The new library hours will be: Tuesday afternoon, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.; •Tuesday evening, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Friday afternoon, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Rev. Higginbotham moved a vote of thanks to the retiring chairman, Walter Shortreed, for the effici- ent service he has given on the Library Board ever since the new library was •opened. New members will be great- ly appreciated at any time, of- ficials said. The fee is $1.00 a year for the whole family, or 25 cents for three months. Walton Unit Christmas Party Walton Unit held their an- nual Christmas party in the Sun- MACDUFF (Continued- from Page 10) battle will he between those two —unless by that time E. Davie Fulton has decided to return to the national capital and try for the big prize. With Premier' Roblin actively engaged in waging a. provincial contest, there are those who are urging no action be taken to replace the Prime Minister at this time. They would pre- fer that Mr. Roblin get through his Manitoba election and have time to get Manitoba's affairs settled—assuming he is success- ful—before aspiring to the na- tional leadership. A core of the discontent over Mr. Diefenbaker is to be found in Quebec. That Province saw a mid-October meeting of Young Progressive Conservatives held in Montreal. At that meeting a move was made to demand Mr. Diefenbaker's resignation. But pressures were brought to bear and the agitation was nipped in the bud. Davie Fulton's decision to leave Ottawaand return to the Provincial election wars of his home Province of British Col- umbia aroused a lot of ques- tions about the state of affairs within the Federal cabinet. Mr. Fulton's friends said that the able young Tory from the West Coast Province became fed up with the long gleaming knives that he had to keep dodging to avoid having them end up in his back. They added that when the day conies that Mr. Diefen- baker departs then that day, Mr. Fulton might be interested in returning to Ottawa and seeking the Fedcral Conserva- tive leadership. Meantime one man who pretends to be obliv- ious to all the mutterings about his leadership is the Prime Minister. He is confident that come the next election he will once again emerge as the lead- er of the Canadian Government. He will be the last man to give up voluntarily his position as Prime Minister and National Leader of the Conservative par- ty. He fought hard for both positions. Those prizes after such grim strtiggles arenot lightly to be tossed aside, Capital Hill Capsules Western Conservative mem- bers of Parliament were shock- ed to read that their boy Agri- culture Minister Hamilton had been "booed" by farmers at the Manitoba Farmers' Union' meeting in Winnipeg: They. are depending on Mr. Hamilton to hold the farm support for the Tory party. If that starts to slip they are lost at the polls come the next general election. day schoolrooms Monday eve- ning, when the winners of the copper contest were entertain- ed by the losing side.
