Stiff Battle For Reeve In Hensall,
Two Women Run For Councillors
(Continued from page one) not agree with some of the things
M uch ID 'satisfaction
At the nomination meeting on
Friday night it appeared there
was much disatisfaction with the
way the council had been carry-
ing on their ' work the past few
years. The biggest complaint
came from councillor John Hen-
derson, who voiced all his beefs
to the nomination meeting. He
said there were too many things
done in Hensall that the council
did not even know about. "Firms
from outside Hensall are bringing
their products into the village and
selling them without a licence,"
charged Mr. Henderson. He also
stated that he was not satisfied
with the work that was being done
by the clerk.
John Lavender told the gather-
ing that although it was not worth
while being a council member he
would run again because he enjoy-
ed the work. He pointed out how
over the period of a year a coun-
cil member was only earning $1.13
per hour for the work he was do-
ing for the village.
Veteran councillor Lorne Luker,
although nominated, said he was
retiring from municipal office.
Another man who was nominated,
Charles Fiford, also declined to
accept the challenge.
All the other new nominees
spoke briefly, thanking their mov-
er and seconder, and stated they
Would put all their efforts into
the office if they were elected.
A third candidate who was nom •
'noted for reeve was George Arm-
strong, a man who has had con-
siderable experience in municipal
life, being a former reeve of Hay
Township. However, Mr. Arm-
strnog found it necessary to with-
draw his name, due to his position
as assessor of Hay Township. In
addressing the group Mr. Arm-
strong said he was not pleased
with the way the PUC had gone
ahead and erected the new build-
ing in Hensall without calling for
tenders or letting contracts out for
the work. He also criticized the
work of the County Council for
the way they spend money fool
ishly.
Several other ratepayers were
also critical of the way the PUC
had erected their new building
without calling for tenders.
The other candidate who qual.
ified was Lorne Hay, who also
spoke briefly. He stated he could
the council has done during th.
past years. Mr. Hay also sug.
gested that a more detailed state..
ment of the operators of the
village during a year should be
published, so the ratepayers would
know what has gone on during
the course of a year's business.
Robert Reaburn, principal ot
the public school in Hensall' and
secretary of the school board gave
the financial statement of the
board for the, past year, which
showed a balance on hand of
$728.05.
The meeting, which was held in
the council chambers was well at-
tended by an interested group of
ratepayers. The election for the
village council and reeve will be
held on Monday, December 1. •

A dog which might have had
rabies was shot on the farm of
Harold Willert, five miles north-
east of Zurich, on Sunday night.
The proprietor, Mr. Willert, told
the Citizens News on Monday
night that the big collie was act-
ing peculiar, and charged at him
in an angry mood. He shot the
animal, and called the county vet-
erinarian, Dr. J. C. McLennan,
Seaforth, who in turn came over
to the farm to check the dog.
The head of the dog has been
sent to Hull, Quebec, to determine
whether or not it had rabies. It
will take Several days before the
results come back.
According to Dr. McLennan the
symptoms would seem to indicate
that the dog had rabies, but noth-
ing definite can be said until the
results come back from Hull.
