Dick voted at Bye's today. Dad and I got driven to Balrobie in Sandy Goff's car to vote. Mrs. Wheale and her grandson, Wayne Fushtey, went with us to vote. Then he drove up back to Lipton where Dad bought some groceries. Roy was in town with both Uncles. We had supper at Tom Goff's , then waited for Sandy to drive us home, which he did eventually. We got home around 9 pm. Fred Senft got elected as reeve but the contest between Sandy Goff and August Zielke was in doubt.

What's a "reeve?"
ReplyDeleteIn this area a rural municipality has 6 councillors and a reeve. Not sure how to describe but the reeve is sort of like the head man over the councillors I guess. Wikipedia might explain it better than I can. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor#Canada
