weekly newspapers associations and the v ontario quebec division of thewjma f o the editors corner new organization formed the new ratepayers association got off to an auspicious start last thursday at a public meeting in the legion hall an executive has been formed head ed by leonard bus bell and j j gibbens and already membership cards have been printed and are being dis tributed and a campaign has been started to create some active interest in nomination meeting this dec ember it is to be hoped that an organization such as this can do what this newspaper ras in its small way been trying for some years encourage a good turn out at the nomination meeting in december not that we mean that there should be a chorus of beefs for essentially one council is much like another making decisions to the best af their ability some good some bad but it should be important for every ratepayer to realize that he is a shareholder in a large corporation which spends a goqgl deal of money each year and it is his right to choose those whom he wishes to admin ister corporation affairs and to show his interest by lis- tening to an account of the stewardship of the retiring council valet to the downandalmostouters a salvation army sidelight thousands of men sleep under the salvation army roof every night in its various homes and hostels and the very fact they are there indicates a storied past of defeat distress disillusionment for many of them fortunately the present is brighter than the past with the help of the salvation army they are regaining confidence in themselves in others they feel they have a home base from which to operate and that somebody is directly interested in the success they make of things an astonishing variety of reasons impel these men toward the salvation army both those who are served and those who serve norman schlicher tells of one man who served and his story he was in a kind of a cage in one corner of the lobby of a salvation army hostel he sat there cross- legged and stitched away busily and carefully eight hours a day six days a weeltshe was acting as a valet to the down and outers who throng hostels like this one every day in the year in our big cities he was mending and making over the old and dilapidated clothing of these hapless men some ot it een tourth- hand stuff sometimes a tramp with a liurrj up job who sat behind a curtain near the eage would eall in come on pal get a move on with m pants 1 he mend r was a business man who had started life as a tailor forty years before and had become a very successful manufaeturer of uniforms for police men railroad men and so on 1 le had made well over a million dollars in his business wanting to take his wife to the city for special medical care he had retired from business and come to the metropolis soon after he settled there he happened to drop into a salvation army hostel and saw the many pitiful figures dressed in their shabby and perhaps bedraggled garments his tailors eye took in the situation com pletely he went back to his apartment the sight led him to reflect on his past business life and business methods god made it clear to me that i owed him a few years of service to my fellow men all his children he confided to a friend all the time i was in business i thought of nothing but how much i could get out of it for myself i saw that i had missed the big things in business running it as a service to god and so he was making an effort to pay god the service he owed and at least a few of those who needed help so badly were getting it in a very practical way pot pourri a monster potato which weighs 2 1qb 6 oz has drawn attention in the herald window this week it was grpwn by roy parrott don j3arrager was one of the first ho remark on it seems don had
