DONUTS.DOWNTOWN 70 Wellington St.North SHERBROOKE 569-1445 THE The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Truth is rarely pure, and never simple.-Oscar Wilde 75 CENTS Friday, May 28, 1999 Shipton-Danville residents to choose town moniker Voters to choose council and name July 4 By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Danville Shipton Residents worried about the future name of the newly-merged municipality will have the final say in a referendum to be held the same day as the election for a new council, acting mayor Charles Noble said Thursday.“Along with ballots for the new mayor and councillors, the residents will have to choose which of the two names we will use, that of Danville or Shipton,” he said.“We elected officials decided this was an issue the residents must decide themselves.” Danville and Shipton merged earlier this year as part of a province-wide push by the Quebec government to reduce the number of small towns and cut municipal administration costs.Although there are more Shipton than Danville residents, Noble believes the chances for either name are equally great.“There are a lot of Shipton people who use Danville on their address, so many of them will choose Danville.Both are historical names, but Danville is better known in the province,” he said.“Myself and my family have always lived in Shipton, but I am not going to favour one over the other.Whatever the result, I will respect their decision.” SEE VOTERS, PAGE 11 mm will sgffwSU iül «;y ( Residents of Cleveland Township, Melbourne Village ^ and the Town of Richmond will go to the polls on Sunday, May 30, to vote in a referendum on merging the three municipalities.Due to The Record’s early printing deadline, results will not be available for Monday’s paper.Please see Tuesday’s edition for the full story.99-Year-Old Veteran Honoured DAVID ANDERSON/CORRESPONDENT ; honor 99-year-old Arthur Dunsmore for his j ; Lieutenant-Governor Lise Thibault was in Waterloo Wednesday afternoon to : actions as a combat soldier in World War I.For the story, please see page 5.m g*a Highest rated system Energy glass Warranty 20 year plus The Regal collection from ARCOR combines superior design and refined style which makes them “Clearly The Best” windows for your house 1215 Wellington St.S., Sherbrooke Portes et Fenêtres A.B.C «Keeping you warm since 1991 — Marcel Brassard
