editorial and iruainaaa ofnr l batulanra ij midrib yea or no next monday acton electors will vote on the question of a two year term for council and boards and decide on this controversial issue the question opposite which voters will put their mark is yes or no it is well to point out some of the things a vote in the yes column will signify the act applies to local boards as well as mun icipal councils and every member who is in office on the 1st of february 1041 nnd elected or op pointed for the term of one year or part thereof shall continue in office for a further term of one year and until his successor is elected and the new board is organized there is another rather peculiar point when a vacancy occurs during the year 1042 in a munici polity where this law is in force the vacancy shall be filled by a person chosen by vote ot the remaining members of such locol board or council but there is no provision for riling a vacancy should it occur in 1041 without the usuai election procedure ap parently an oversight by the provincial government and maybe there are more judging by local nnd comment from other mun icipalities the act finds little favor with any of the electors it takes awny the right of the electors to decide and elect for themselves their representatives for two years if you like such n measure vote yes but if you consider this question contrary to your views of the best municipal government vote no scattered here and there over our desk are several group pictures but with this cold weather coming on the ont that just now attracted our attention was thnt of the cham pionship hockey team of 1038 jo and where arc they now flint terry norm and bus morton of that one line are in the army stationed at niangra herb woojls geo bayhss rus brush frank holmes arc in the battalion stationed at stratford geo molozzi is in brandon with the rc a f llio mono is with the london senior club and johnny brush is play ingtn hamilton weve got to admit the bunch is pretty well scat tered but we note some stalwarts who nrt still avail able and could form the foundation of a team there nre jack ken titer minute walters frank gibbons ezio mario and doug dawkins and all the executive and officials who make up that group picture perhaps the hockey analyst will say there is noth jusbut defence and executive left and what we need is a forward line that is no doubt true we talked wjth someoftheboys when theywere home on army leave those wih whom we talked were all of the opinion acton should carry on in hocke perhaps a championship is not possible but there is the need to carry on the training is of the best it has been helpful to those boys who have jaftned the active service force and we note some of them are now wean ng officers stripes yes the team of this year will certainly be differ cnt but we think the boys scattered here and there in the dominion and elsewhere would like to read about and occasionally see some hockey

we came awny with this feeling tht we in canada are not fully seized with the enormity of the taste that con fronts us we read itttnuuiay novmrnwi aem iiuo of the terrific rrontiding thnt tngland is

hack with interest if we lose you will have hitlers pronmt to take nil you hnvt a new situation here acton fnecs a new one in municipal elections this year never in our recollection has such a situation occurred here before there were not enough quail led for the council scats to meet the requirements the result is that acton will be faced with two nominations and n possibility of two elections the present election on the qucstionof a two year term and on the school board will proceed the new council must provide as soon as possible for an other nomination and if necessary an election for one member of the council such a situation has occurred in other mumcipnli tics but this is the first time in our recollection tor acton to meet such a situation we are sorry to see this occur because it seems to indicate a inck of interest by the citizens in municipal affairs nomina tions were not as numerous as they should have been on friday night acton 4ifls plenty of men capable of making good councillors and their names should have been placed in nombiation and brought before the public we know its a busy time for nil men but surely there arc thosewho could give this effort to municipal guidance wc know too that often men who do conscicn tiously attempt to do good work in municipal nffnirs come m for much unfnir criticism this often is a deterrent to accepting public office its regrcttnble thnt in a year when election difficulties might hnve been minimized to hove such a situation the only remedy now is to see that nt the next nomination sufficient names are put in so that the office will be filled the hired man word from woshington thnt the supply of farm workers is the lowest since 1037 serves to recall vividly that all butforgotten fnctotum whose modest but unremitting efforts contributed to place agrtcul ture on its present pedestal the hired man he was a familiar figure on the farms of a gener- utionngo liternlly one of the family since he shared their home end menls he wns in reality nn ex officio uncle helping the youngsters with their studies squiring elder daughter to sociables since he had ns n rule worked on farms in other places he sometimes filled the plnce of the present day farm adviser but however far his wanderings moy have corned him he was not necessarily inner ant by nature we nil know him whether we live on farms or not
