Lorimer Asked to Set Terms

council of

by Mayor Landis"—should have
been d until the interim

those elected in November

‘ would be established to provide

basic administration pending
the elections in March. Certain
steps could, of course, be taken
to rationalize functions of the
two councils, public works
department, fire department,
etc, but I am sure that the
citizens of Kinnaird did not vote
to abandon their established
interests to the whims and
fancies of an individual ap-
pointed as interim mayor.”

In explaining his stand in
writing Mr. Lorimer, Mr.
Maddocks told his council that
although he had not sought
re-election in November, none-
theless he would not stop
looking after the interests of
Kinnaird.

Ald. G. S, Rust, who was
defeated in his bid for the
mayoralty of Kinnaird, said he
had no obje-tions to the letter
and felt nore of the topics
mentioned in the letter—“if

council is sworn in in Jan. 7.

He said he had heard there
had been discussions on public
works, which to his knowledge,
had not included Kinnaird
public works foreman Curt
Waterman.

Daylight Time
Around the Year
Up to Provinces

The federal government
has no plans to recommend that
Canada adopt daylight saving
time this winter as a means of
conserving heating fuel, Ener-
gy Minister Donald Macdonald
said last Saturday.

Mr. Macdonald noted in an . 8©

interview that the area is
primarily one of provincial
responsibility and subject to
“local option.”

President Nixon signed a
bill Saturday putting the
United States on year-round
daylight saving time starting
Jan. 6, The measure is aimed at
