and expressed appreciation of
the contributions made in re
cognition of his work as juven--
ile judge.

Knox Presbyterian Church, after
Scripture reading and prayer,
briefly addressed the council.
A statement by Judge Costello
in which he said 'he had been
told that the election of the
warden this year marked the
100th such election, was correct
ed by Clerk Miller, who, said it
is really the 108th election to
the office.
W a\r d e n Armstrong thanked
the members for his election.
The past year had been bounti
ful in the county, province and
