like but vote cam paign for the forthcoming provincial election on june 7th it is pointed out that in the 1943 provincial elec tion 704 1 67 out of 2469960 registered voters failed to go to the poll iu a democracy where the right to vote by secret ballot is one of our most cherished privi leges it is a betrayal of aur way of life if a person val ues this privilege so lightly that he does not take the trouble to exercise his franchise in halton county 15445 of 20949 registered voters went to the polls in the 1945 election the per centage of 73 per cent was slightly higher than the pro vincial percentage of 7 1 per cent but leaves much tojbe desired making allowances for those in ill health and a few voters who must of necessity be absent on poll ing day there is still no reason why this figure should not be at least 90 democracy cannot be suppor ted by indifference whichever candidate is elected in halton be he liberal conservative or ccf should know that he has the certain mandate of the majority of the voters do your part en june 7th summerize for safe driving cooperating with the department of highways safety program the garage operators association of ontario is urging motorists to observe safety rules and to summeriae their cars for holiday driving ahead brakes steering and lights are all important for safe driving it is pointed out uneven braking on different wheels can be dangerous and rough winter roads are particularly hard on wheel alignment and steerinfe un less these are checked too much play in- the steering and perhaps a shimmy can develop before fall lights are often knocked out of line by winter driving and beam alignments should be checked wiring for the lights should be checked for deterioration caused by condensation and freezing of moisture on wire cov ering other sprint cleaning jobs include flushing out the radiator and changing the oil a less apparent spring need is cleaning the uridersurface of the car during the winter rock salt and other chemicals are used on icy surfaces and a good deal is picked up by the car these chemicals have a corroding action and 5 ciic cn causes of rot on the fenders and along the seams the garage operators association points out that for safe driving and longer life for your car see your motor mechanic twice a year just as you do with your dentist council meetings are open with so many important matters coming up in council this last year or two we are surprised that more ratepayers do not sit in on the meetings occasion- ally while this newspaper does its best to give an ac curate news account of each meeting there are many things which must go by the boards unless the meeting was to be taken down in shorthand and even if this were done space limitations in the herald would not al low a verbatim report of each meeting a ratepayer who quite often attends the meet ings as a spectator has remarked that perhaps citizens do not realize that the meetings are open it is evefy voters privilege to attend either as a spectator or as a deputation of one or more and the courtesy of the mee- ting is extended to all visitors regular council meetings are called on the first monday of the month at 8 pm while these are the only official meetings and must be held as set by by law at the first meeting each year special meetings are held at the call of the mayor and for the last three years have been the rule rather than the exception with a meeting almost every week during the first hfljlolthe year while it is a councils privilege to meet in cam- era and exclude the public and the press such meas ures have never been taken to our knowledge in geor getown and mayor gibbons has on frequent occasions stated that he is against any limitation of the rights of c to attend meetings where public business is being discussed all council meetings are held in the municipal offlos at the rear of the new municipal building a tjirthwr of chairs are provided in the room for
