CONCRATU Election Day, 1967, i> over and for Walkerton and N rth Liberty, n, w fan > will app, ir on the Town Ie ards. B th towns will have th. 1 r.^-tmie clerk-tn asur-rs returning. but both also will have n, w board members serving th- town for the coming four yea ■ s. Congratulations are du, to all the wmn- is, an 1 c- nd- lan- i s are offered the 1 -sers. The two towns campaigns Were quite oppt-itc in their nature. Walkerton had a hard f-ueht. but extremely <l. an campaign by all the candidates. The w- rk of the Democratic Party was very obvious and it paid <>ff With all five cunei! s- its g ing to their party. This was the result of two things apparently, the hard campaign, and the fat t that after so many years, many Voters evidently felt it was a time for a change. Very little ticket splitting for council seats resulted. but splitting was done rather freely for clerk-treas. The job facing the four new member board with one return- e, isn't easy. Running the business of a small town isn't small business. Walkerton has for many years, ha 1 a very good town coiin< il and the results are evident with many fine facilities serving th*, people of the town that other communitis both larger and smaller. cannot boost of for their own.

LATIONS growing will be their job. It will take effort but if the - ffoit to run the (own is -xamplified bv the effort put in th-- ampaign. th- town should again be in v- ry fine hands. North Liberty was a diff- r- nt story. The vote in North Liberty was very light. The highest total of votes for any one contested office was just 198. an I with two p -sitions - pen on the I »enu •< ' die side and little effort ex-rted. it looked as if th- D- nsx rats w- re almost anticipating a loss. Howev- r. the turn <>f events apparently came from those who det id- d a change in policies was needed. The controversial sewer issue had to be responsible. Having just been beaten in their efforts to install a sewage plant, new sanitary sewers in part of the town, and storm sewers in the town, the people of the town who cared showed their feeling at the most logical place, the polls. At any rate, both towns will have basically new town boards ant the matters facing both in the coming years will continue to make this almost thankless job one of utmost responsibility for these electi-d to do this job. Their efforts, whether in ac< ordance with your feelings or not, will be sincere and what they consider best for their towns. You still have a responsibility, to let your board members know your findings as they are your respresentatives and mouthpieces in your town.

Main Street Gossip. Seems like the "We’re Sorry" c lumn of the new . paper gets a l->t of play th-se days. Try as hard as we can to do things right, we're always doing them wrong. Os course, we realize that the rest of y.-u folks make mistakes, too, but then you dmi t print yours like we do. When we make a "Boot" the whole community gets in on it with two possible results: Either we become the laughing stock of all our friends: or we make a few more enemies who want to lick us. If the former situation results, all well and gooi. We count not that error lost which causes someone to have a good laugh, cvyn if it is at our expense, if the latter result follows, our error, then we're • • • well, we re just sorry all over again!
