Employee expenditures am- ounted to $1,488.39 this year. No figures were released for amounts budgeted in expenses. ' Mr. Broadhurst 1961 or 1962 for convention did not say whether the budgeted figures were higher or lower than last year. Mayor Haggart joined with the finance chairman in criticiz- ln‘g the press for misinformiin'g the public. He said the press failed to tell the taxpayers that employ- ees attending conventions out- side the province must first get permission from council.

Conventions are not pleasure trips.” she said. Mrs. Southwvell also agreed with Mr. Broadhurst and Mr. Haggart that too much publicity had been given to Mr. MacDiar- mid‘s request. \ “These figures should satisfy those who want a probe of the town’s finances. If they want one they can pay for it them- selves." the mayor added. Mr. MacDivarmvid said he was still not convinced that out of the province conventions were necessary. He admitted that Mr. Broad- hurst‘s report clearly showed the line was being held on ex- penses. The resolution referred to was passed earlier this year by council.) The mayor complained of the amount of work elected officials must do at conventions and said it was not all pleasure. “Why I myself processed over ‘100 resolutions at the Ontario Mayors and Reeves convention this year," Mr. Haggai-t stated.

He first went i0 England as a baby with his parents. At eight years he came back with his family when settled in wes- tern Canada, near Winnipeg. When he returned to Canada he faced the issue squarely and in due course entered the Ang- lican ministry. The late Arch- deacon McIlhenam, Rector of St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Winnipeg helped 'him make his final decision. God was calling me into His service", but he was not sure, he said until after he had been called to the bar and practiced law for three years - gone twice to England, and returned to Canada again - that it was His church in which he was to work. Again he went to England and entered Clifton Theological College in Bristol. He was or- dained at Advent in 1935 at Southwark Cathedral.

The Polish press is heavi- ly censored. Gary recalls that no reports of a Russian explosion of a large hydro- gen‘ bomlb during his stay were published in the Polish papers.
