time when the results are made known with the lack or interest shown by many voters it is small wonder to secure government that is truly representative of all the people it would eem that voting by all the people by compulsion was the only solution too often folks who com plain loudly about government municipal provin cial or dominion do tho least to form opinions of their own and exercise their franchise wo admit that monday was a bad day for being outofdoors and wo know there has been much ill- ncss but surely eighty per cent of those entitled to vote on municipal elections were not incapicated and more than onefifth could have reached cither the town hall or the ymca to cast their ballots to the credit of those who did vote they certainly got there on their own power as few cars were out taking the voters to the polls and certainly those vho received the votes may consider they have some ycry staunch supporters the part that must often be discouraging to the men who offer their services and who are willing to assume the responsibility and carry on the work all year is to know that many citizens arc not willing to take tho few moments on election day to endorse their work in dutton recently tho council resigned and forced another nomination in protest over th indifference of the electors not just the thing 10 be advocated wc should say but certainly bringing home the responsibility the vote cast on monday was light but the figures arc a fine endorsation of the work of the council of the past year it was a municipal year of marked success and in returning most of the form er council voters evidently gave a hearty indor sation now with the elections over for another year theres nothing to interfere with tho christmas and holiday season tuenlylw and still going strong editor hugh temp i in of the fergus newsrecord last week marked his twentyfifth year of writing that inside page just how he maintains a full page of editorial comment regularly has always been i conundrum to us us our owi two columns have often been u burden bui mr lemplm does admit thutthe fullpuge during the ears has ut times hud its weary moments its u splendid page interest ingly presented each week that inside page hus hud u particular interest lor us because n wus about the sume tune that uc came back to the free press and occasionally dipped our quill to make top tor the acton paper about thut same time we wrote our first urticles under the heading of the old man of the big clock tower and as we recall it mr templin wrote his page over the name of whig wc imagine both articles were started with the thought in mind to brighten some of the inside pages of the papers which were often edited at that time more with the shears than the pen we compliment mr templin on the fact thjt his had more lasting qualities than our column which ran out of material long before reaching the age of twentyfive years few editors have been able to keep such sustained interest in a full page feature even after the quarter century it 4s one of the most widely read and quoted pages in the weekly newspaper field more power to youf pen in the years to come mr templin v colllngwood shorn the way surely its an evidence of dissatisfaction with the beverage rooms in general today that the vote in colllngwood for their introduction to that town was defeated by an almost four to one vote recently the enterprizebolletin of that town lent splendid aid to defeat their introduction and apparently the folks of collingwood were well organized to keep die bever rooms out of that town and the electors wellinformed of their conduct in other places it most have been a distinct shock to the brew ing interests however to find that after 1200 signed a petition for the vote only 649 voted in favor of beer parlors just a littleover half folks who live in collingwood have had the benefit of seeing the conditions that accompany the beverage rooms in other communities they acted wisely in giving an emphatic vote against bringing them into their town right now if a vote were taken in ontario the beverage rooms would not find much favof and be on their way out the old barroom got into bad repute but most everyone will admit that in its worst days it was not as bad as the present method for the sale of intoxicating liquors more and more opposition grows especially to the womens beverage rooms and the number of licenses granted to bouses that make no semblance of running any sort of hotel accommo dation but devote all their interest to tto beverage room collingwood is amongthe first toregistcr definite objection given the opportunity to vote ontario as a whole would turn them out but no party dares to give the electors a chance or knows how to replace the revenues that are derived from the sale v coungeoua living continually throughout life situations arc en countered that challenge the best in people the manner in which these situations arc met is the mea sure of a man or woman and by this standard the person whosjiirks the duties and responsibilities of ordinary living has failed in the most elementary of lifes challenges that of living courageously the instinct to rise to a challenge is deeprooted in human beings because wc practise it every day for instance the farmer to exist must meet the daily round of chores that cannot wait until ho is in tho mood to be a farmer at all he must fact the truth of the type of life it is often lonely hard working and plagued by tho neverending uncer tainties of the weather and the marketing of crops that is one reason why the rural sons of canada have distinguished themselves on the battlefield they have merely transferred to a greater challenge the sturdy independence with which they meet the seasonal rigors of the farm and when they return to civilian life the commonplace but nevertheless exacting toil of the barnyard and the field will chal lenge their abilities in a way that jirooks no brood ing on the past for tho future is one of the vital certainties of life and the craftsman of the plow s banking his skill and courage against the vagaries of the elements allied leaders on returning from combat zones have remarked on the fact they found no trace of the soft younger generation that was supposed to exist before the war an example of how this gen eration has proved its hardihood was given by gen eral sir bernard montgomery of the british 8th army at the conclusion of the sicilian campaign he suid to canadian flgthing men everything given to you has been done it has been magnificently done you have upheld the very best and highet standards of the 8th army we venture to suggest that these men posseted their hardiness and birth all that was needed was a supreme
