SERVED THE AREA WELL!.
/ .
The death of Ross MacRae. of Culross Township removes
a man from the community who was always keenly interested
in educationand the youth of the area.
We first met Mr. MacRae when he was a ' member of the
former Wingham District High School. Board and had always
found him' keenly devoted to his position and his community
schools.
When county boards were formed, Mr. MacRae was elect-
ed to serve the municipalities of Culross, Teeswater, Kinloss
and Lucknow, a position he filled until his death. During this
time he saw a new addition completed at Lucknow, plus major
boundary changes in Kinloss and Culross Township, both of which
he was deeply involved in:
His diplomacy and Willingness to listen, earned him the
admiration of those hedealt with in these matters.
VERY UNDFMOtRATIC!
A new representative will be needed to serve this area on
the Bruce County School Board.
If previous practices are followed, it could be that an ap-
pointment might' be made to this post. The late Ross MacRae
had over 11 years of his two year term to serve at the time of
his .death.
The trend to appointments to fill elected
opo' positions is .. in-
creasing and is done regularly at the school board and municipal
council level. ;
We can not accept this as being democracy in action. It
takes government completely out of the hands of the people.
They aretold who will represent them,., not asked.
We have *never doubted the wisdom of those who would
•appoint an official to office. They give this serious thought and
are usually in a good position to choose a representative.
•
But what has `concerned us is the possible candidates .who
might' be aspiring to office and are shut -out before they start
because of a decision toappointa certain individual.
Everyone knows that after an appointed member has .a
period of time in office, he also bas a bit of an edge at the polls
in the next election if he has done his job well.
Appointments to elected offices are very undemocratic.

'running into: many thousands of
dollars. The storm cut .a
narrow swath that did not strike
the.;Nile to the south, nor above
the 6th concession north of Dun-
gannon.
Atleast ten barns in' East Wawa-
nosh and Morris Townships were
down flat and demolished. Trees
