All citizens of Terrace Bay are giving the - coming nominations and election a considerable ' amount of thought, for everyone agrees that ' this change to an elected council is one of : the most important steps in the growth of this Community. The election of Public School Trustees for . the Township of Terrace Bay will be held on June°17,° 1959. The electors of this community will be called upon to elect a Reeve, a Council and a Public School Board. The Council will com- ' prise four councillors. Assessed tenants and property owners all qualify for Reeve or Council, Where the dis- ' tinction comes in between the property owner and, a tenant is when it comes to voting on a money by-law. In this case, only property ' owners can vote, In order to qualify for nomination as ; Reeve or Councillor the parties should be 'a Householder residing in the Municipality or , rated on the last revised Assessment Roll, . A Householder means the person who occupies and _ is assessed as owner or Tenant of a dwelling:- be entered on last revised Voters list as yualified to vote at Municipal Elections:- be . iti j he Os J a anc a BKEN 0D Q DAMAGE DONE TO RECREATION FACILITIES Allegiance:- be of the full age of 21 years:- and is not disqualified, So, in order to qualify for Reeve or Coyn- cillor, a resident must have received an assessment notice, Each year, at this time, we experience a great deal of damage to our Recreation facil- ities, Although this is usually of minor nature, added up it always proves costly, wasteful and very dangerous, Beyond that, it shows a great lack of pride in the beauty and care of our town, The majority of this damage is done by a very few thoughtless and irresponsible people Some of them are youngster, some of them are adults. Whoever they are, it is our respona- ibility ... yours and mine ,.. to see that they are punished. It is the duty of every parent to caution his children against destruction of this sort. It is the duty of each of us to re- port those who insist on doing it. Broken fencing, damaged playground equip- ment, walls marked with crayon and chalk, broken benches, holes dug in ball fields, torn roofing; all of these are costly to re- pair and maintain, Beyond that, along with bottles broken at the beach, tot-lots and wading pool, they are very dangerous. In addition, they show a great lack of community pride in keeping our facilities and town in good condition, If you see anyone mistreating or damaging public property, either stop them or report them to the Recreation Association. This is deliberate vandalism, and we intend to pro- secute those who insist on this wanton destruction.

The toast to Lady Baden Powell was proposed by Jill Crandlemire, Nancy Wade gave a very lovely toast to all the Mothers and, in response, her Mother, Mrs.D.Wade, paid tri- bute to the many leaders who gave so freely of their time and energies to teach and guide these young girls in Brownie land, As usual, Mrs,Earle charmed all the young members and their guests with a special Brownie story after thanking the Brownies and their leaders for the opportunity to be present. Mrs,Earle also took (Bresy Ppeasuny |
