The new commissioners were welcomed by Mr. Haugland, who expressed the hope that they would all work together for the benefit of the village. A step toward economy was taken when it was decided to hire Len "Curley'1 Casey (who was called into the meeting) as full-time maintenance man on salary. His duties will not interfere in any way with his duties as fireman In charge of the fire hall. This action was taken following the reading of the bills which included several accounts for essential services to the village. Large sums of money have been paid out each year In this way during the past years and it was felt that the time has now come when these services could be taken care of much more satisfactorily and at much less cost by one man. In order to eliminate confusion of orders, the commissioners decided that Mr. Casey's schedule of work would be given to him daily by the village clerk and no one else. Correspondence dealt with included a letter from Hon. E. T. Kenney with good wishes to the village commissioners for the coming year. Through him, also, it was learned that the Board of Villlage Commissioners Act is up for review. lie also sent word concerning the speedy handling of the aged. At present, proper statutory forms must be filled out, with two doctors certifying person before ne can be admitted to the home for the aged. If the home were open to all aged men who were feeble and unable to care for themselves, though not mentally infirm, it was felt the home would be entering into the field of social service. ONE DELINQUENT The clerk announced that there was only one delinquent taxpayer in the village and that person had moved and could not be traced. The mill rate was set at 20 mills on property assessment and 50 percent of improvements. The time of the monthly meeting remains the same, 2 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. The Red Cross .advised that they did not consider the expense necessary to instal a storage tank for water at the outpost hospital, as the water situation has become much better and should be functioning satisfactorily when the new lines are laid.

The destroyers and other UN ships had gathered In the approaches to Chinnampo, some 40 miles from the city, to assist In the withdrawal when an urgent message was received from the commander of the transports loading in the port.

This information, in turn, was passed to the ships following astern.

Collier to depend mostly on the ship's radar In fixing her position. He practically wore a path between the radar set and his chart table. Able Seaman Bill Kebca of Inglewood, Man., who was working in the plot room with Lieut. Collier, said later: "It was asking for trouble to be anywhere near the radar set or the chart.
