The election was keenly con- tested with candidates carrying on aggressive campaigns. Sever- al meetings were held when can- didates addressed the electors and the increased vote reflected increased interest. A feature of the campaign was the announce- ment last Thursday of legal ac- tion taken by Superior Sand and Gravel against the Town of Rich- mond Hill, James Haggart, Reeve, Otto Whalen, Works Com- missioner and Fred Bovaird fore- man, claiming $2500. damages resulting from the awarding of a sand contract. The claim also asked general damages of $15,000. general damages. costs of 'the action and such further or other relief as the court may decide. The action was started December 7th, but at time of going to press there have been no new developments. (Continued from Page 1, the evening, with C01. F. J.

On Missionary Sunday the jun- ior group of‘the Sunday School had an especially pleasant sur- prise when Mrs.. F. Hare told them the Christmas Story and showed them several pictures and also the Nativity scene after which she treated all the young- sters to candy, served from a Christmas tree (plastic). The lit- tle tots all joined in singing "Away in the Manger.” Mrs. Hare then concluded her little mission- ary service with the familiar “Twas the Night Before Christ- mas." The W. I. held their Christ- mas party in the form of a Tur- key Supper on Wednesday, De- cember 7th. The members hus- bands were guests on this oc- casion. After a delicious repast Mrs. Don Chalk read a paper with humorous remarks on each of the members or their partners. Several of the beautiful Christ- mas Carols were sung, Mrs. Wil- bert Jennings conducted a "jello eating contest.” The contestants were in partners, Charles Hen- shaw and Mrs. Blackburn, Mrs. Everett Phillips and Ray Jen- nings, Mrs. Nelson Thompson and Jack Macklin. There were three bowls of jelly with each two contestants having a spoon tied at the ends of a string. This caused a great deal of hil- arity and ended in Mrs. E. Phil- lips and Ray Jennings as win- ners. Mrs. Nelson Thompson con- ducted the game “Hoop-a-doop- a-do’ijvith four groups participat- if each family would contribute something toward the dessert or a hot dish.

These, Nashville, Teston, Pine Grove East and Yongehurst West had 894 votes in all, of whom 411 cast ballots. Three years ago Anstey got 164 votes from these sources, as follows: Nashville, 35, Teston. 43, Pine Grove Easth45 and Younghurst, 41. This year’s thumbs-down reaction in these four polls also represents a rec- ord, with the negative accentu- ated. In the same polls, Ralph hung on to 20 votes in all. The picture here, with the votes given him three years in brackets is: Nashville. 3 (37), Teston, 4 (31). Pine Grove East, 10 (42), and Yongehurst 3 (69). Ralph dropped 159 votes in these areas. It was a disastrous day for Bruce Ralph. His 488 votes was a sharp drop from 1957 when, while he was edged out by Anstey in his try for council, he picked up just under 1100 votes. RaXph, Anstey, Ryder~ and Bryson Were given acclamations in 1958 which inaugurated the two-year term. The percentage picture shows that each of the 33 polls produced 127.1 votes. The number of votes garnered by each candidate per poll are as follows: For reeve: Rutherford. 70. Ryder, 40, Anstey, 12; for deputy-reeve: Bryson, 97, Fenn, 20; for council: Kefi‘er, 69, McConkey. 53, Windatt, 44, Neu- feld, 38, Savage 35, Robson 33, and Ralph 14.

When I was a raggedy boy in a Northern Ontario village where class lines were rigid, a source of puulement to me and most of my similarly raggedy friends was the friendship between a rich man’s son (who treated us aloofly) and the son of the gar- bage collector. The rich man’s son was a snot, we assured one another, and this charge never failed to bring vigorous denial fr m Carl. Several decades later t mystery of that friendship was solved when I had occasion to pore over samples of their handwriting taken from school- day scribblers both had kept. Both had become teachers. In their writing then as now, they revealed clannishness. They still finish lower loop letters like Y and G with a small circle as noted in the second G in the middle line of this handwriting specimen. \ If you complete lower loop letters like Y or G with a little loop. you may be certain that you are clannish. that you reâ€" strict your real friendship to a very small group or a few mem- bers of the community. It m]an that you feel best when in assoc- iation with people who view mat. ters in the same light as you do. Even as young boys, both chap's writing also showed a strong spiritual or philosophical interest, hence this trait added to the value of their‘clannish- ness. While they were not alike in their emotional response to situations they were alike in Lheir intellectual approach to 'fe. 0n surface, Carl’was a respon- sive, gregarious sort, much sought after because he was such If You Are Clannish Your Writing Tells!

Then you’ll'be on safe ground. Evaluated, clanuishnes‘s in con- junction With other traits can mean one of many things. For example, the clannish person whose writing also shows grace- ful line value, creativeness and rhythm, is a potential engraver of delicate objects who can work ‘by himself without feeling lon- ely. A clannish person whose writing shows a sharp explora- tory-analytical approach might be a potential whiz of a scientific researcher. Clannishness, with negative qualities, can be found in the writing of lonely people who can be persuaded to keep bad company because they want to rid themselves of the terrible ache of loneliness. One of the finest persons we know is clannish and has absolut- ely no interest in the spiritual or philosophic. She cares little a- bout material possessions. She is a physical culturist who is thor- oughly happy going along from day to day energetically and creatively teaching physical cul- ture. She does a world of good. But her real friends are only three in number. Remember then a clannish person friendship to only her of persons. By this you’ll find it Remember then that basically a clannish person will give his friendship to only a small num- ber of persons. By remembering this you’ll find it much easier to get along with such people who hitherto have been puzzling you by their behavigur._ A typed. confidential 350-word character analysis can be had for the nominal sum of $2.
