Page A4 THE REVIEW Alderman lost more than his temper Edgar Farthing is a quiet, well man- nered, courteous person. He is also per- sistent and outspoken in his beliefs. And Farthing is entitled to be since he sits as alderman for North Saanich. He is there to speak and act for those who voted for him — year after year — at election time. He may irritate and annoy “other alderman who do not share his views but that does not given anyone the right to physically assault him. _ And that’s what happened in council chambers Monday night when Ald. Georg Westwood lost his temper during _ discussion and threw a glass of water in -Farthing’s face. Luckily for Westwood, no “injury resulted from his rash action.
