Kinsmen tlear Civic Candidates» For‘ Mayoralty

The two known candidates ror the Mayoralty at the coming civic election, Councillors M. A. Farmer and N. W. Lowther, were guest speakers at the bi-monthly meeting of the Kinsmen Club held last night at The Charlotte- town. The meeting was presid- ed over by Kinsman Wes Storey.

The interest in civic affairs was further enlivened by an im- promptu talk by Mr. Walthen Gaudet, a Kinsmen Club mem- ber who will nominate for Coun- cillor in Ward 5.

Coun. Lowther outlined the benefits which the people derive from a Council in a municipality. i-Ie explained how the City was handicapped by rising costs while the rate of taxation has remain- ed stationary since 1942. He con- gratulated the Kinsmen for their interest in civic affairs.

Coun. Farmer reviewed the chief problems facing the Coun- cil. He stressed the financial problem. stating the revenue of the City to be approximately $475,000, and explained how the money was spent. “Several things should be provided for the City," he said. "but their provision rests with the people. If a thing is worth having it is worth paying for. but the people must be taxed reasonably. not burdensomely."

He urged the group to get. in touch with their represenitativee in the Council when they had any civic problems. Municipal Gov- ernment he pointed out was democracy on its commonest plane. Following his addres he answer- ed several questions asked by the group.

Mr. Walthen Gaudct stated his interest in civic and community aitfairs dated from his days in the junior Chamber of Commerce, when as a member of that group ho had engaged in several com- munity projects.

Talk On Bowling

Kinsmen speaker for the eve- ning was Mr. Vernon Chute who delivered a five minute talk on the history of bowling. It was timely in that Mr. Brennick Sears. chairman of the sports committee showed the group a howling plaque which was don- ated to the club by Seagramks. This trophy will be presented to the champion Kinsmen bowling team.

One oif the busiest men at the meeting was Mr. Ernest Lord. Mr. Lord spent most of his time collecting fines for rule viola- tions by the members. He also took charge of the March of Dimes donations. ,

Mr. Walthen Gaudet reported on the arch and project commit- tees. Dr. Clarence Coadiy re- ported on the Kinsman Founders Night which will be held on Feb- ruary 23. Flam on food parcels lor the poor were outlined by ifr. Ivan Sinclair. A sum of 0100 was voted to take care of .this project. The attendance report was given by Mr. Ray Archer.

Secretarial matters were hand- led by Mr. Ian Rankine. A live- ly sing-song. led by Mr. Roland Taylor, rounded out the meeting.
