A very valuable nostalgic copy. Mamy Nancy Steel, (powerful womens leader of APC and was in Freetown Central one(1). Hadson Taylor, won Central Two (2) as MP for APC in 1967 elections defeate Jonh Nelson Williams, Hollist, was Editor of Wi Yone - he was the editor (and his Deputy-Mrs Princess Bucknor), arrested in 1965 for Siditious Libel by the SLPP government. They won their CASE and found NOT GUILTY. This made Sir Albert Margay angry, removed the Chief Justice Sir Samuel Bankole Jones and 'Promoted' him as President of the Court of Appeal, then appointed his junior Barrister in Sir Albert Margai's Chambers, Gershon Colier in his place. These where ALL important players in the APC in those days gone by. Siaka Stevens was then Mayor of Freetown 1964 -1966.
Mrs NANCY STEEL (Nancy Grant)
Mr J Hadson-Taylor (First APC Minister of Information &Broadcasting)
Mr S G Hollist (Editor of We Yone - APC News Paper)
Hon J B Amara - APC Executive Member.
Those were wonderful days of Sierra leone Politics.
