thji month nasbugowcya township will bo represented by aicw man in the person of mr donald campbell izsquesing township will have one veteran in mr t j leslie as reeve and a new man in mr p l cleave as deputy- reeve androevemason from acton has also seen many sessions of county council work- possibly the most changes are in tho southern par of the county j w blain is back again from milton after an absence from county council work- nelson township sends new men for its offices but men who have been at county council in other capacities mr h m pettit goes now as reeve and mr e m readhead takes his place ns deputy reeve for that township in trafalgar tljarveteran who seems to be considered a county council fixture mr w h mordcn has weathered another battle with the deputy reeve of last year and came out on the high side of a close struggle and will be at the county council tabic again tins year and the deputy reeve from trafalgar will be mr a a buck a new man oakville send one now man in mr w h robinson and mr j b mont is again their deputy rcove representative from burlington the reeve is j 0 breckon and the deputy reeve e c von- scrivcr is a new man- georgetown sends mr w l mclntyre- who has been absent from the county council for a couple of terms but is not a new rami at the work in all there will be eight new men who were not in last years county council and six who were on tho council of 1928 a majority of new races for 1020 from those of the previous year off centre the milton reformer usually expresses its opinion on matters and the following item of opinion on the place of holding the wardens dinner will be read with interest by chose resident in other places than the county town the reformer said last week we havent much uce for the idea of holding the wardens dinner at the home town of the warden who happens for that year to he the occupant of the chair sup posing it to be a bad stormy night how many would risk motoring from oakville or burlington to acton about 30 miles or io case the dinner was held at burlington how many people would like to motor from acton- no the logical place for holding the wardens dinner is where it has always been jicld with one exception in peel county the wardens ainncr is always held in brampton the county town and has never been kijown to be peddled around so faraajveknow milton itie niostconvenienrpolnr in uic county for all concerned of course this will draw the fire of our esteemed contemporaries pub hshed in the different towns but we expect that it it their privilege things may be different when milton has good roads leading into it from all direc- ions in the county but just at present the few extra miles to other towns in the county over better lauds are preferable to tho journey county seat over poor roadways we think the idea of hold ing the wardens dinner at other points in the county r very good one all year long the county council lors gather at milton and become fairly well acquaint ed with the county town some from the north havent much idea of the south and some of the outhcrnera dont visit uh northerns very much the holding of the dinner at various places gives all a chance to got acquulntetl with the county at large we believe it will make for a considerable broadening cut were quite often at variance with the reformer uud evidently brother white anticipated ours would he one of ljuouteniporarics that would object to iitt opinion on this matter her of course not said the boy i didnt mean gambling i just mean little bets on little un- mportant things just to make them more interesting things like hockey games you know do you feci any better after youve played a good game of hockey as you know how and been beaten to pay the other fellow a handful of money for beating ou no of course not that makes it harder but wait a minute do you enjoy a hardwon victory any better for putting your hand in your friends pocket and taking his money no dad it isnt that but doesnt it give a littfofrmore excito- ment to the game make it moro fun while it lasts youve put your finger on it son betting is a stimulant it makes what youre doing more exciting than it oughttobe a stimulant is s healthy boy or man doesnt need if he craves stimulant theres something not quite right about his body or his point of view it doesnt take much of a stimulant to intoxicate you before youve taken p stimulant long you get the habit and you need more of it even if there isnt the present danger of losing moro than you can afford or winning what the other fellow cant afford to pay there is the certain danger of picking up a habit that will end by carrying you beyond your depth financially or making you incapable of enjoying anything without a dash of false excitoment betting is like drinking son youd better leave it alone if you want to keep healthy and sane and your own master turn this thought into a resolution editorial notes perhaps the stormy weather of monday was re sponsible for the many close contests in the township elections in this vicinity they seemed to bo the order of the day in several contests anyway in eramosa township the returning
