invariably obtqined acton citizens are keeping their town in a healthy condition by their prompt attention to their tax dues as- well as saving themselves considerable money tthe financinl standing of their town should be a matter of pride to every citizen and judging from the tax payment is a matter of pride the ladies win this municipal election of 1928 will be noted ns unique in the matter of the school board election it is the first time in the history ot acton that the ladies have been candidates us trustees on the board of education why this- circumstance should not have occurred previously has often been wondered at as it is some few years since women have had the privilege of occupying scats ns school trustees that their choice for the positions is favorable with the ratepayers of acton is evidenced by the fact of the large vote both lady candidates received on monday mrs havill secured more votes than any other can didate in the whole fleldof school board council or reeve mrs wilson came second in the ratepayers choice of trustees over all the men opponents both ladies will undoubtedly qualify themselves ns able members of the school board and after the vote

christmas festival being in evidence on all sides what docs christmas mean to you and to me a persons measure is very definitely secured by asking this question one will say it is the day when wc all

the pivotal date of all human history for every event that has ever happen- d is dated by the number of years before or nftcr christs birth and if we remember that christmas a birthdny nnd if we try to form a reverent picture of him whose birthdny it is christmas will mean more to us tiny it evor did before what a happy thought the saviour inspired when he said it is more blessed to give than to
