Irene was one of the original members of a group working to build housing for senior citizens in the village, and for the past two years has been secretary of the Hensall Senior Citizens Homes Incor- porated, which recently received its charter as a non- profit organization. Mrs. Davis reminds us that 1982 has been declared the year of the senior citizen. "Though I come into that category I, like many senior citizens, am not willing to sit and let life and its activities pass me by", Mrs. Davis said, citing one of the reasons she is entering the electoral race, adding she has enough ambi- tion, and energy and common sense to work for the residents and the village of . Hensall. Mrs. Davis refuses to make any iron -clad pre-election promises because "no matter what council wants to do, it has to be approved by county council or regional or provin- cial government" but pro- mises to judge all decisions by asking "is this beneficial for Hensall or not". She said she would like the residents of Hensall to know she will always make herself available to anyone in need of help and do her best to help solve any genuine beef they may have with council. 4111II111111II I I I I I I The Light Touch JAB CK LAVENDER What this country_ needs is a bumper that's as strong as the_ political opinions that! are stuck to it.
