Clvic Elections le Tbe time is drawing near for selection of candidates to contest for Mayor, Council and Board of Eduestion. Iu late ycars the mnatten bhs become so perfunctory that there ia danger of sinking into the spathy that mneans ail the difference betwcen s unve town sud a dead croas-noads. The past year bas accu considerable improvement in street mankingsaund signesud the trsffic light which was the gift of the Lions Club. The KeGii money was received sud now that this chapter bas closed, further counilis wiil have te look closely te matters of internai bugeting. *There bave been rumors of dissention witin the council but nothing authoritative hma yet reached the press. And there are rumors that the slate for 1942 inalaready eut snd dried. It is thje state of affairs that The Statesman ýnust protest in au attempt to arouse publie opinion. We have fallen back i recent yeans where thene je no ireal public discussion of public affaire. We have a Towu Hall which le the property of ail the tax- payera. Why not open it sud use it as su open forum for at least one eveumng pnior te t nomination on Dcc. 5th? This may squelch cut-and-.dried politics as well as create much intereet ou the part of the electens. One big question ie developing which Council must provide for. Fauflies, are crowding into Bowm.anville and working eleewherc. This le not a "war-factory" tOwn- SUPPose the war stops suddenly. We then bave a problem; a relief problem. So it la bigh time a census was taken. Maybe it would be a good ides, te set up a sinking fund to neet this inevitable contingency. That is samcthing to think about. We could go on with a lengthy platfonm, but this ougbt te tant the bail rolling. There's water eozing i the street on King St. near Scugog. That will block touriste, in 1942. And Coun- Cil should neyer forget that its orders arc the orders of ratepayers. V Leader of thue Opposition Little commnent l e rquired in estimating the reac4uirement of Rt. Hon. Arthtur Meigiten as leader of the Coneervative party. It le altogether likciy he will stay at the helut oniy se long as if may te neceesay te train a yauuger man ta take bis place.

Weekly publishers wil agree that noi among their number in more worthy of t honour than Mr. Williams. Iu the publishi field hie has served with distinction bothi his home field and in the wider sphere of Dc minion affaire. He ie a former president o the Canadian Press Aoeiation. Hie was fo many years a director of the Canadian Week Iy Newspapers Association sud wae th, charter President of the Outario-Quebec Di vision of the C. W. N. A. lIn otiier fields of public service Edju Williams hue had an equally distinguishec cancer. He served for seversi years ase member of the Town Council of Collingwood and for two years wss its Chief Magistrate, His multifarions interests, in public welfart in that town is probsbly unequalled in Can. ada. Hie was founder of the Huron Institute which bousts one of the fineet historical ex. ~'ibits outaide of the langer cities. Hie was President of the Hospital Board and of the Board of Trade and a direetor of othen or- ganizations. Keenly intercstcd in hospitals, libraries and history. heebas rendered signal service in these realms. lHe is a former president of the Ontario Library Association, the Ontario Hospital Association, and twice Preaident of the Ontario Histonical Association. Iu ad- dition for ten years lie was chairman of the Finance Shipping Lake Congresa. The weeklY press of Canada may assume that thje honour, to bc conferred upon Mr. Williams next month, ie also a recognition of the importance the weekly newspaper plays as an outatanding rural influence, a moulder of publie opinion, a stabiliser of thonght, and as an inspiration to the people of rural Canada, We behieve this le the first time that a weekly editor bas been so hon- oured, and we would like to commend the Senate of the University of Toronto, flot only upon the admirable choice it bias made in Mr. Williams, but in its recognition of the worthiess of the wcckly press so honoured. ce ada ion the on En ro- the k- ne lie ng in o- of 'or k- be bd e e 75 LOOK AI THIS ORAPHi SUCCIESS os WITHIN %~ ~ OUR REACH A Lest Pull, and a Pull Togoîhor will do.it!1 OegTABIO _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _T R U R S A Y , N O V EM M EM e, 1 4 ; 1 DO WMANVI-LLE Te.s Exftr ime R te Rchlsobjective of A NAVAL GUN A* MONTH FOR THE DURATION 0 Almowt te But we need a lust extra pull to reach our objective in the War Weapons Drive.
