"I bave seen Death biast out suddenly From a clear blue summer sky; I have siain like Cain with a blazing brain; I bave heard the wounded cry. "I bave main alone among the dead, With no bope but to die; I have seen them killing the woundcd ones; I bave seen them crucify.

Consequently when the Brack- en Clubs of Canada do that very thing it is worthy of note. They have issued two pamph- lets which should be in the hands of every one who is interested in the welf are of bis country and who wants to know how he can personally take part in its govern- ment. Oneof these is entitled, "What Makes Politics Tick?"' It answers among other things the following questions in anab- solutely non-partisan way. "Wben and why are elections called? How is an election date decided on? Who calis the* e]ec- tion? Wbat happens when an election is called? What do you know about Party organizations? What is a polling division? What are poil captains or chairmen? What is a party nomînating con- vention? How are candidates chosen? Can you choose your own candidate? Wbat is tbe elec- tor's duty to bis party? What con- trai bas the elector over party or- ganizations? The other pamphlet is called "Do You Know?" and the ques- tions fallowing those words arc, Who can and who cannot vote? Who organizes the election? How the voter's list is compiled? What and why is an advance poil? How is the ballot kept secret? Wbo counts the votes? We do a lot of talking about election machinery, political ma- chines, ward heelers, etc., but bow mucb do we really know? It is worth anyone's wbile to get hold o! these pamphlets. Tbey can be had from the Bracken Clubs o! Canada, 63 Sparks St., Ottawa, on request. ClassifiedAd Rates One cent a word cash, each Insertion (minimum charge 25c).

G. MORRIS Mayor og Christmas GIFT -Suggestions MANîCURE SETS DANDELIONS AT CHRISTMAS Believe it or not, The States- sman received through the mail on 1Tuesday, Dec. 19, 1944, in a celo- phane wrapper, two golden dan- delion blooms, still damp and fresbly picked in the garden o! Mrs. Oscar Adams, R.R. 3, Ponty- 2pool, Durham County. In ber letter enclosing this remarkable Christmas gift, Mrs. Adams told that ber small son, Fay, digging in the deep snow bad corne across these blooms, sligbtly crushed but bravely surviving under t h e weight of the recent storm. With the evidence before us we are more than ever convinced 1that the Pontypool district can 1grow almost anything at any time o! the year. In the recent Potato Club contests, two Ponty- pool boys won top bonors with their yields o! 575.8 and 559.8 bushels per acre, wbich is claimed as a record for soutbern Ontario. The challenge is put forth for any other county ta match this kind o! production, with particular emphasis on tbe dandelions. Sudden Passing of Harry Maitland Cole The many friends o! Harry i Maitland Cale were sbocked to learn of bis sudden death on Tues- day, December 12. He had left home as usual at 7:30 a.m. for bis work in the Goodyear offices, but struggling througb drifts caused by the beavy snowstorm, he be- came faint when he reached King St. and went into the Balmoral Hotel to rest for a moment.
