4G T MN A %J£ - M-ivTHURSD~AY' NOV. 27' 101 _ Success of Town Manager Plan Depends on SecuringCompetent Man - Once a municipa]ity decides on the council-manager system, the sâlection of a competent town manager becomes a matter of Crucial importance. The man ap- péinted needs to be an undoubted eXpert of demonstrated capacity, adaptabîlity and tact. He must bé able to gain and hold the re- spect of successive councils. He niust know how to obtain the aCtive co-operation and inspire t4e confidence of those who serve uaider bim. .One aim in adopting the man- ager plan is ta achieve worth- while economies in the cost of clvic administration. But, when shopping for a manager is cee- tainly no time to try bargain hunting; for a few dollars saved oPi the manager's salary can rule out a wise selection and greatly prejudice the success of the whole dëvelopment. A years ago, the aý,erage salary paid to managers la United States cities between 10,000 and 25,000 population was $ 7,283 per annum. The figure gives a good indication of what Caadian towns and cities ought tÔZbe prepared to pay. :Éecause of the expert and par- t1cular qualifications demanded, a s(iitable person for manager is s Idom available localiy. The Oity of Victoria, for example, brought in a man from Kingston, CWntario, while Sarnia secured its nianager from Saint John, New Érunswick. In the United States, manager cities have developed a stslid tradition of professional re- i cruitment and long service, with over 75 per cent of new appointees coming from other cities. More than haîf the managers who ob- tained positions in 1950 had serv- ed'previously in other centres as managers or mangers in training. Twenty per cent of American managers have worked in their profession for more than 15 years. Face Facts Beluctantly In spite of the weight of con- trary opinion, local councils have sometimes been relucant to face the fact that home talent is us- ually an unreliable source of good managers. One U. S. city took 35 years to decide that its charter provision requiring a local person ta be appointed was wrang. In that time there were no less than 31 successive managers. At the present time there are close to one thousand persons with manager training serving through- out the United States. Here, it might appear, is a natural source of candidates for Canadian ap- paintments. The difficulty is in the wide differences between the two countries in the laws and tra- ditions behind the develapment of municipal institutions. A pers- on from a United States back- ground would begin work in Can- ada under a severe handicap. Moreover, the sucessful manager in the States can find plenty of opportunities in his own country where bis entire training wiil be fully utiiized. In Canada, there are no pro- fessional schools for managers.

OBITUARY FLORENCE WILLIAMS SPENCER Death struck with startling suddeness at a happy home at 45 Mimico Ave., Toronto, on Sunday, Nov. 9, and removed therefrom a devoted wife and loving mother in the person of Florence May Williams, beloved wife of Harry Spencer and dear mother of Wil- liam H., and Mrs. W. L. (Betty) Hunter. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer had been in Bowmanville the previous af- ternoon visiting friends and rel- atives. On their return home she just got inside the door, when she was stricken with a brain hem- morbage. Despite medical care and attention, she passed away on Sunday morning. Besides her sorrowing husband and children, she leaves ten brothers and sisters to mourn her loss: Aithea, Toronto; Russell, Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Harry at Rav- enshoe, Ont.; James at Port Hope; (Hovie) Mrs. John Nesbitt, and (Jessie), Mrs. J. F. Goyne, Osh- awa; (Bessie) Mrs. Art Densem, WilI, Frank and Percy, Bowman- ville. There are also three grand- children, Carol Ann and David Spencer and Laurel Hunter. Prior to her marriage on Jan- uary 18, 1918, she was well known in business circles on King St. For a number of years she was employed with the late David Luttreli and the late John Mc- Murtry. While in Bowmanville, she was very active in Rebekah Lodge af- fairs. As Florence Williams she was a charter member of Beehive Rebekah Lodge 125, and the first Noble Grand, an office she held for two years. The funeral services were held on Tuesday evening at Hogle's Funeral Home on Mimico Ave., where Rev. Milton R. Sanderson, a long time friend and pastar of North Parkdale United Church, where the family worshipped, taok the service and preached ta an averflow crowd. The many beau- tiful floral tributes were mute evidence of the esteem in which this charming lady was held by all who came in contact with ber. At the graveside, Bowmanville Cemetery, on Wednesday marn- ing, the palîbearers were H. M. Wickett, D. J. Long, J. R. Manson, F. C. Briggs, H. A. Phelps and J. H. McLeliand.

The girls were asked to choose their own dress pattern and to make a wrist pincushion before the De- cember meeting, at which the Roll Call will be "A point to consider when buying cottons." PONTYPOOL Rainy weather did not mar the success of the turkey dinn >n sored by the United Churýchsph'elà in the basement on Friday, Nov. 21. More community spirit was shown in this effort than everi before. Practically 100 per cent of all citizens supported it by sub- scription of food, money and ef- forts. The result attained was almost $400 clear, along with the thankoffering of $240, netting the church over $600. After the sumptuous repast a good program was enjoyed by all. Rev. Vogan, B.A., B.D., showed interesting slides of Great Britain. Mrs. Earl Argue, Elocutionist, gave several numbers. Mrs. L. Bowins and Miss Jeanne Coulter favored with a duet and the Van Dam brothers delighted all with several accor- ýdion numbers. The pastor proved to be a very genial chairman and kept old and young alike in great spirits. The Board of Stewards appreciate the co-operation of all who helped to make this such a success. Manvers Council nominations passed over'quietly on Friday af- ternoon. No other candidates be- sides the old Council were nom- inated so the following were re- elected by acclamation: Reeve- Allan Beer; Deput-Reeve-Earl Argue; Councillors-Ralph Mal- colm, Addison Scott, R. John Payne. Mr. Clifford Curtis recently at- tended the auctions of cattle at the Royal Winter Fair and bought four Registered Shorthorn heif- ers. These were among the prize winners at the Royal and Mr. Curtis is to be congratulated on acquiring stock of this calibre. We wish him the best of luck in trying to establish a registered herd.
