Municipal Act Needs Renovating When the Hepburn Gaverrnment gets through u-ielding the economy axe and the pruning knife af efficiency at Queen's Park we would suggest that the Premier, the Attorney-Generai and the Mimisten <>f Municipal Affairs hoid a couple ai canferences with the Mayars and Reeves af the towns and villages throughout the province ta get some practicai sug- gestions from these Chie! Magistrates on bringing the Municipal Act up-ta-date. It is one bit of legis- Iation that is as hoary and antiquated in many re- spects as candies, busties and a yaks of oxen. A Legislation Cammnittee sits every year to consider and make amendments un this important act, but the changes they make are nai haif as noticeabie as the dyed hair on a sprightiy spinster. Brousing through these musty aid voumes af mun- icipal iaw, thinking aniy ai the many accomplish- ments and advancements a! this eniightened age and generation. and !orgstting the good aid days of hitch- Ing posts, cows running the streets, iamp iighters and fence viewers. it is actualiy idiculous, amusing and pathetic ta read same of the statutes which deciare, commiand or prohibit this, ihat and the other thing which become absoiete with the coming of the tele- phone, electnicity, auto, radio, paved highways, chain and departmental stores. and aeropianes. As a starter in extracting sanie a! the faise teeth from the supposed air-tight clutches af this aid fashioned and cumbersome Municipal Act, wiih its loop hales and evasions apienty, we wauld suggest that the searchiight af modern business efficiency be tired full blast on the assessment act. with par- ticular attention ta business assessments, fixed as- sessments and tax exemptions; qualification for municipal candidate, aath ai office as affecting busi- ness men, a standard audit ai municipal books, ne- vamping ai the eiection act, and a score ai ather clauses in the act which nEed amsnding or exter- mination. Junior League Edits Toronto Daily The Mail and Empire issued ans af the largest morning newspaper editions in many yzans an Thurs- day last when no less than 88 pages wene cantained in the special editian producedi by young ladies of the Junior League ai Tononto. The editian was commendable fram mary standpoints. In itself t was an extraondinary feat ai newspaper production. Used in its publication was papen, which if placeti end ta end, would go anounti the worid at the equatan and stili have six thousand miles ta spare. It was ful ai interesting features outlining the wark carnied on by the Junior League which is compased i young society womien of Toronto. These women carry on a very useful humnanitarian work in the city. They are particulanly interesteed in children and carry oui dut- ies in the Crippled Children's Clinic ai the Sick Children's Hospital, supply milk for undernounishsd children. and a score ai othen wathwhule abjects. While they cantnibute largeiy of thein urne and maney ta this wonk, thsy give the public the appor- tunity each year o! co-apenating. By staging vaiaus events they raise sums ta carry their wank ta a fur- ther conclusion that wauld be impossible unden their pensanal auspices. The Mail and Empire in placing their very splendid newspaper at the disposai oi the League aliawed the League a commission on ail ad- vertising salti, and believe il on not, thene was plenty o! good snappy advertising in the 88 pages. The ne- suits these high pressure sales ladies secured in ad- vsntising lineage must have made the regular aclver- tising solicitors an The Mail and Empire feel as in- competent as the tin cup hand out men who stand with outstretched handis in front of Eaton's store. Ws cangraulate bath the Junior Leagus ai Toronto an its enterpnise, and the Mail and Empire in the production af an exceedingly intenesting and unique special edition for the occasion. The lady editor who gave the news bulletin aven the radio an the night previous is aira ta be congratuiatedi on the capable marner in which she carrisd oui hen task an the air. The Naked Truth About Advertising As a guest at the annual dinnen ai the Association ai Canadian Ativetisers in Toronto iast wesk, we were greatly amusedi andi impresseti with the many truth.s cartained in a somewhat satirical address by John Neson. Supervisoîr ai Public Relations for thE Sun Lii e Insui'ance Company, ant i imediate past president of Rotary International. Mn. Nelson, a former newspapen publisher ai no mear ability, deait with the modern type oifativer- tising as campareti with advertlsing ai a iew years aga. Some ai the excursions taken inao the modern fieid af advertising wens amazhng the speaker said Thirty yeans aga advertising writers did not dans penetrate bensath the auten garments, and partic- ularly to descend beoaw the waist. i was indeceni 4 ta mention feminine ciothing then. Today in con- trasi advertisements penetrated into the "wholiy unseen' andi discavened that they were known by the ~'ponderaus titis a! foundation ganments. Yet, he said, thene had been samething substantial about the red ilar.nei underwear which "stuck ta you as silk hati toda). Silk has given ruse ta a legion ai modern eulagistic descriptions, the latest ai which Was "lleg lui'e." Or eveny hard were seen evidences 01 this effort ta achieve new woî'ds, ta wnench and tWWs andi wanp tome descriptive phrase fan a pro- duot.

Boys who useti ta blieve that tb ýOOUqOWWjCoMplexion was the resuli af a healhy body and wholesome diet, today were amazed ta dis- caver that such biessngs were attained by using cer- tain brands af soaps or cosmretics. The speaker also spoke af the tendencles in radic advetising, the iatest f ield af devsiopment. The pinted page has sxhausted itsilf in the wordage il fiings at its neaders, but the radia has brought new terrors, through the iritating wisecracker, the pom- pous announcer, and the intoienabie crooner. It may be, Mr. Nelson suggests, that this is the iast straw and that a long suffering publiic wili rise in its wrath and wipe out this offending genenation af a once proud and proper advertising profession from the face of the earth where nothing remains secret froni its profane hands.- ---- Royal Winter Fair Off to Good Start Yesterday the Rayai Winter Fair ai Toronto open- ed. The show has f ar excseded the expectations of its sponsors. Its growth and success have been oui- standing, and while there are somne who stili main- tain that it is designed to give the people o! affluence in Toronto an appDrtunity ta show off in public, these are in the mnaity. The Royal Winter Fair, whle located in Toronta, is not a Toronto show, and it is more than a provin- cial show. i has became international in character, not only f nom the standpoint of those who are dir- ectly interested in international competitions, but Irom that of the fariner engaged in the breedmng af pure-bred iivestock, for after ail it is the livestock that is the backbone of this show and it is the f arm- er who will benefit. He sees the tangible resuits abtained by others engaged in the same industry. Any farmer attendîng the Royal Winter Fair for a day or two can hardiy fail ta acquire same f resh knowledge and puts hiniseif in the position o! belng able ta make practical use ai this information. Durham County breeders ai pure bred livestock have for years won their fair share ai prizes ?Li the Royal and they will again be in evidence this year. Also keep your eyes on the Durham County junior farmers in the judg'ing competitions. By ail means attend the Rayai Winter Fair. Many people prefer its billiance andi compactness ta the Canadian National Exhibition. But why draw coni- panisons? Theyre bath good. Take No Thought For To-Morrow How far carn you ses ahead? Do you knowv what the nsxt minute halds for you? The next hour? To- morraw? 0f course not. In al af Heavens gifts ta man is not included the power ta ses the future. A kind Providence has drawn the cuntain beiare what lies beyond the moment in which ws live. 'Take fia thaught for tamonrow," counseled the Gr eat Teacher as He talksd ta the multitude on the mauntainsude. "for the morraw shahl take thaught for the things af itseli. Sufficient unto the day is the evii thereof." Reading the nest ai that great sermon and then reading the talk an the Mount ai Olives when the disciples af the Nazarene came ta Hum for instruct- ions, it is dlean that it was funthesi firom His mind to discourage industry, foresight and thrif t. The stories af the wise and !aalish virgins, the faithiul servant the talents, ail that He taught and preached, was directed toward the encouragement of those and other vintues. and taward the correction of human frailties. Among these, without daubt, is a disposition ta warry and fret about what tamonrow holds. This sort of thing makes t impossible far us ta give oui' very bsst attention and effort ta the thing at hand. Toa many ai us have let tamaraw becamie aur master. We should make tamerrow aur servant. Per- haps that is casier said thar, dons. But it is true. Thene is such a thing as maraise in the individual, as in an army or a nation. Physical and mental fit- ne&s, industry, courage and a high spirit canrat be maintainet iun the work af taday if the mind is iixed or glaomy contemplation of the future. Prepar'edness fan any turn ai tifs is the thîng toI work for sveryý day. taday's work siiohtedi may mean a hast chance ihat may lie just ahead. Let toinarraw be an adventurs. Who knaws what it may hald for yau? Dont ti'y ta guess. Dont conjure hobgoblins. Smaother those glaamy imaginings. Just be rsady. Thsrs is plerty ta do ioda)'. Do it wveil and leave it behind you. Tamorrow will soon become ta- day-and adventure always lies ahead. Tamorw rabs only the sluggard. The lazy past- pane the work that lies at hand. Procrastination is mars than the thief ai tume. It is the thisi ai op- portunity. Keep busy. Keep fit. Keep trying. Be ready. The future cannot then but take cars afi usel. And it can neyer master you. A lange arder? Not really, if you set yourself ta it. 0 Editorial Notes One-fourîh af any gain in Ameican national in- come mu.4t go into the pookets ai the fannisi. de- cianes Secnetai'y ai Agriculture Henr'y A.
