I did my best to prevent her being elected to the Council in a bye-election in Lindsay Ward round about 1950

Donald. I did not know the lady in question. All I can say is, we, and I am as bad as the next, criticize councillors in relation to the decisions that they make, but we ourselves, never put ourselves out, to stand for public office. So the but must stop with us. We are the blameworthy.
