of ten more pernicious than downright lies mirirull moments last year following the installa tion of a sewage system procd one of the most difficult and perplexing in the history of our town s admin istrative affairs most major projects cause dissension and hysterical ac cusations amongst the taxpayers concerned as a result locally our council was arcuscd of every crime and weakness ranging from dis crimination to insanity and com munhtm another group of critics declared wc were a clique of tory dictators before the year was over a few of us wished our judges would ar rive at a decision once and for all were wc arrogant tories or downright not forthright com munists a local arbitrator who wa ged a loud twelvemonth battle against a sewage bylaw so far olst control of himself as to declare we had killed one fellow citizen this was u novel experience for me as a demure tenyearold from time to time irate mothers com plained to my mother because i had licked their bully boys but never until assuming the glorious mantle of councillor had i been ac cused openly of murder as a member of the weaker sex i did sot receive quite such brutal treatment as my hardworking mole colleagues but the reverse also was true they were not subjected to the same petty and sometimes amusing criticisms and innuendoes for example since my twelfth birthday i have worn shorts during the summer montsis i intend to wear shorts until i am too old and un shapely to appear publicly in hat attire without feeling ridiculous aha the lady councillor was re proached by the more conservative taxpayers last summer for dress ing as she had dressed for twenty- four summers it was not dlffnlfied for a member of the council it was shocking furthermore the bathing pal adventure before revealing that- sjuit of the female representative unlike a polyanna tale all la not was- much too brief for owlmmlng sweetness and light throughout t it and as for donning it to sunbathe im almost terrifying to learn how in

elected to public office in lcw of the mess men were making and had boen making ever since they assumed the role of leadership in all ultalrs of state hut i honestly felt and still feel there were many womt n even in our ov n jown who re more mature atid efficient than 1 a confirmed spinster and re lx 1 ii was no joke much to my honest surprise lur ing the day before qualification tlie

exclai med in no uncertain terms you re daft you re not cut out for that sort of thing ilefore the year is half over you 11 drive us all silly too not to mention the other members of council my frankest sister decla red bluntly i don t think you could do the job forget it more than any friendly imrrsuas- ions that settled it 1 gritted my remaining molars and marched right down at night to sign the pa pers the following week before election was full of surprises i got my first new lesson about jxople people arc funny they are unex pectedly kind end enthusiastic when the impulse seizes them from the first 1 had no intention of asking my fellow citizens to vote for me for the same reason that i could never sell successfully even tickets for a church banquet i balked at soliciting voles except by the cus tomary advertisement in the local paper much to my amazement and en couragement scores of local voters went out of their way to volunteer support in a very heartening fash ion an incident i cherish most ten derly and with the greatest delight concerns a picturesque irish lib eral who met me on the street a day or so before wc went to the polls as 1 passed he clapped me on the shoulder and i halted in some wondcrmont because until then i knew the gentleman only by sight and good day he grinned a puckish irish stid and exclaimed in his inimitable brogue sure now i was just say ing to my wife heres one election im not going to miss and im going to put my x down for the first lady councillor cvenjhough she is one of the damndest tories i ever met and im sure he did just that when the votes were counted a flabbergasted spinster hooded the local polls and she was flabber gasted and subsequently deeply touched and appreciative of the sin cere expressions of congratulations that arrived by telephone and mall it waa an auspicious beginning and throughout a gruelling year in office during which the tenderfoot had to learn from scratch fellow citizens were exicrmety kind and helpful this fall again after being nominated for mayor and reeve and council oho ran ago in as coun cillor and for the second time a wom an headed the local polls this was the most rewarding experience to be thus assured that the towns folk had enough confidence in me to put an x besido my name on the ballot for the second- tithe purposely ihave reviewed the happier aspect of my own munlcl- profited by theeeadnvctlons and mended bar ways but alas u would not behoneat as a matter of tact the lady councillor felt duty bound to state at the nomination meeting last november aba in to wear a similar garb whether elected or not come she sunny days of june 103 unless prevented by an al arming increase of avoirdupois the confession probably lost me some votes- however t least i did not contest election under false pretenses a qeaatiaa af rreprlatr another quaint superstition pre- valied here during the year 1051- the average meeting of council las ted from 730 pm until 230 em- such concnuons had ntrver arisen before the election of a woman to the local governing body direct re futatlon to thu conjecture is the fact that the only session from which i had to depart early droned on until 3 45 am 1 were these long sessions necessary absolutely be- cause as e result of numerous con- t ruction projects the volume of town business was abfiormally heavy the majority of popular miscon ceptions about the lady councillor were on the wholr reasonably good natured and harmless only one in voked resentment frequently 1 e ncouutcred the query su to the propriety of one female spending long hours amongst right males could 1 an impressionable spinster withstand their manifold masculine e harms and wiles well 1 could and diet my colleagues all married mvn look their

working representatives of the people thin is true is all fields of political en deavour at the best popular fancy or general opinion is a fickle thing as a rank beginner in municipal ikilltlcs i have discovered that you mnnot please everyone sometimes one feels that it is impossible to please anyone and frequently the results of elections disproves the be lief that the beat man or woman always wins even in small town balloting adverse and unfriendly propaganda can defeat good candl- ntes who have already proven their worth and elect opponents without experience who have nothing to re commend them for public office beyond glibness and a talent for hysterical declamation i believe this is one of our weaknesses as of the atomic age the majority of us citi zens fall to apply our full intelli gence and talents to the solution of political and international problems after all a small town or town ship only reveals in miniature the beauty and wonder the ugliness and meanness of the
