kfllnton w toronto in the mailbag georgetown november 21 1949 dear sir the georgetown herald recently said that the christmas season al ways seems to intensify interest in lucky draws also mentioning sev eral organizations thar will be us ing this method to raise money at christmas time it is regrettable that the christ mas time should be dragged down to such a level using the birthday of the son of god to create interest in and to satisfy the gambling spirit of man why is it that the different soc ieties do not make an appeal for the people to give to the different causes you will immediately say they will not give this simply shows that the thing the people want is to bu a ticket hoping they will get the lucky draw something for nothing this is a er unbound way to build a nation just as the multi tudes lose in a lucky draw just so when the testing time- tomes our nition will fall ben use we have been building upon chance our country needs jnen and wo men who are building upon the hock christ jesus if we are liv ing in the true christian way we will not expect to win by a lucky draw our faith will be in lllm who tid if you ak anything in my name believing i will give it to you chas r gower mr editor just vhat has the new system of cleetion to council by general vote got to offer how much better could the town be represented than by councillors from each ward this does not necessarily mean that if a suitable candidate is not ob tainable that u better man cant be imported but who would daro to say that at least two capable aspir ants for council can not bo found in any one of the three wards no ono ward has a monopoly on mun icipal brains further how many contestants for eouncll have time to canvas the town if a general vote was nec essary it would mean that there would be even less men desirous of entering the local political field ward politics have their place in a growing town members can bo of service to their constituents in many small ways especially to take thbtr beefs to council and save a general enquiry every time they desire a street light erected or a culvert repaired in conclusion mr editor we doubt if you will hear that slogan le doesnt want to cauae on elec tion this year give the- people something to shoot at and you will have plenty of candidates in tha various wardjtoo a taxpayer for a delightfully different gift elizabeth arden
