The nuc- lens of this hand practices every Wednesday night at 8 pm in the Legion Hall. There have been rumors that this is a competitive band. This is not necessarily so. There may be some com- petitions planned for the futures Right now it is a marching band. This is a different kettle of fish al- together. So far there are only 16 members and more are urgently needed. Using the music of "A Gordon For Me." we submit the‘ follow- ing A piper for we; a piper for we If you‘re nae a piper. you're nae good tae me. A drummer for me; a drummer for all A piper. a drummer in kilts for us all. It is poor verse but you get the idea. We know there are many former piper and drummers in this area. To make our marching band a success, why not contact Bob Dickson 1band committee chairman) either at home (884-4907) or at the Legion 1884-0086). Further instruct- ions in piping and drumming are given each Sunday at the Legion from 12 noon to 1 or 1:30. Marg. Britnell: Mayor For All People This band is" for the bene- fit of the whole town and one that has long been need- ed. Don't sit back and pass the buck. Let everyone that can get out and show just what can be done. Sorry, your reporter can't carry a tune, let alone play a drum or the pipes. but will support the band to the best of our abil- ity. How about you? Now that we have that lit- tle storm off our chest, let's see just what is in the mail bag. There is a note here stat- ing that very sincere con- gratulations are to go to Lorenzo and Janet Johns on the occasion of their Silver Wedding Anniversary. The big day is January 24. To all celebrating such events or birthdays please accept our very good wishes also. May you all celebrate many more happy events. We hear that many of our comrades and friends have fallen victims of the "Lon- don Flu". For everyone that falls down with this com- plaint, two or three come back. Our sympathies are with you folks.

She said that it was still up to council to make decisions "but not until all the evidence is in. I realize I have a lot to learn, I recognize I'm going to make mistakes. "All too often in the past the people just found out by acci- dent what had already become a fact. I want them to know well ahead and have their say in it." “I'm definitely against any closed meetings with the excep- tion of those few special ones penjnent to employees or other personal problems not of gen- eral interest to the public.” By FRED SIMPSON Newly-elected King Township Mayor Margaret Britnell will be nothing if not a “people’s mayor."

Branch 375, Roval Canadian Legion By Chris Ratchford â€" 884-5260 legion Reports This past Friday night social was rather quiet. Still it was a good night. As is usual we had a mystery win- ner, this time Miss C. Kern- ohan (our ex-Navy type Alec‘s lovely daughter) picked George Sullivan for the lucky guy. Saturday was rather a busy day around the Legion and for some members of the ladies‘ auxiliary. We are sorry to report that the ladies raced to Newmarket for the bowling competitions and came out on the wrong end of the stick. Meanwhile back at the ranch (oops, we mean Leâ€" gion), things were going great guns when we took on members from Stouffville and Branch 1 in the fine old sport of shuffleboard. The local boys held their own and won the day. We gather the competition was stiff. No kiddies. we don’t mean that anyone was looped, just that players going against us, there were some darn fine tsure hoped we explained that right). It was sure nice to be able to say Happy Neay Year to Comrades Art Heaton and Freddie Hopper Friday even- ing. Seems they are sound- ing the bell in favour of the “Olde Sweats Night" to be held February 17. We wish them every success. Late Flash!

She also feels that with the tendency to bigger, remote gov- ernments that “the various councillors are 'getting farther and farther away from the pub- lic. We‘ve got to get back to the people and increase our communication with them. None of us can afford to stand on pedestals." Above all: “I want the people to realize that you not only can fight city hall but you can beat it," she said. errors. But I‘m not afraid to be wrong, I can admit when I‘m wrong. We have nothing to hide. Let’s state our opinions and reasonings in public and be prepared to be judged by them." She cited the controversial Ontario Hydro line which was designed to go across King Township. "The people fought hard and wouldn’t be discouraged by seming failures and got their point across. You can fight city hall.” On other subjects: “I’m opposed to any further increase in council salaries. I really feel we're too money oriented in our councils today. We think too much about what we can get out of the public and not enough of what we can contribute to it." Mayor Britnell stated that she realized “that council is time-consuming and getting more-so and a councillor should be paid a reasonable sum. But he should consider it also a responsibility to serve the pub- lic, put something back in the community." She said her salary as mayor will total $12,000. $6,000 as local council representative a n d $6,000 for serving on regional government. Local councillors are paid $3,200. Mayor Britnell is also con- cerned about the municipality “dragging its tail in passing our zoning bylaws to complement the official plan which has been passed since 1970. The official plan is useless if you have no bylaws to enforce it." She cited the lack of proper She cited Four community mothers, Mrs. Irene Boyle, Mrs. Alice Mashinter, Mrs. Beverly Jackson and Mrs. Marilyn Watford accompanied the children as supervisors. A special thanks is extended to them. The grade 5 and 6 students in Jefferson Public School's team room enjoyed an excur- sion to the Royal Ontario Museum January 9.

They don't always want to break a law but they’ve got no law to go by. I’d like to see this changed as quickly as possible.” She said she realized that “maybe some of the zoning by- law might prove to be a detri- ment to the township. Well, then we’ll change them. Not everything is perfect but at least we'll have something. ‘If they prove wrong in some cases we can always amend the by- law." “I want to get them involved. hear their opinions before the fact and not after it. People get frustrated when they are kept in the dark and then they get angry. They can be very un- derstanding if you just talk with them." On her “serve the public" theme, Mrs. Britnell said she hoped to hold a number of public meetings on questions which will be of interest to the people. Mrs. Britnell agrees that she will be only one voice on coun- cil but “I think we have some very reasonable members who want to serve the municipality as a whole and not just isolated areas. I think we'll get along reasonably well although we might disagree on some things which is the way it should be. Right out in the open." One thing she really regrets: “As mayor. I’ll be in a posi- tion where I’ll have to be more of a conciliator than a partici- pant. I‘ll only get to vote on isues in case of a tie. I rather regret this because I like a good fight once in awhile." Mrs. Britnell, who lives on King Summit Road near Con- cession 5, was also King’s first lady councillor in 1969. She later opposed Ken Mac- taggart for the mayorship posi- tion in 1971 and lost by 148 votes.
