Simpkins or company upon conditions set forth in the by- law. There were about 275 persons who could have voted. A number more were on the list; but many were out of town. Of the 275 votes 199 were cast follows:-- J. H. Brown's Office -- 56 for 1 against Town Hall -- 73 for 3 against Schoolhouse-- 62 for 4 against votes cast, making a total of 199 191 for, and 8 against. i Under the: amendment to the Municipal Act made last year, only two-thirds of the vote polled is re- quired to pass a by-law of this char- acter, Formerly it was necessary to secure two-thirds of the total vote. This was found at times to be an in- justice. as in many cases it was difficult to secure the actual presence of those whose property holdings entitled them to vote. Hence the change in the law. The canning factory people are now busy making preparations to carry out their share of the program, and we expect to be able to keep the public informed of their progress from time to time. Unconscious Influence Have: you ever thought of influence --unconscious influence? All persons carry 1t 'with them. Superiority is always felt, not only the superiority of wealth," or education, 'or position in society, but the superiority of inborn 'Fnobility. That unconscious influence creates in us a désire to rise to some- thing better--to make the véry best of ourselves. : 'With many of us home is the place where our influence is more in evi- ings is an interesting theory worthy of observation and study. ; Happy, indeed,the men and women who so order their lives that their un- conscious influence day by day .may be an uplift to all with whom they may come in contact.
