With municipal elections popping up ahl around us, Bowmanviile, with council compieting the first cf its two- year term seems ta be lacking some- thing. There is no air cf anticipation, ,1 no scurrying around ta find new candi- dates ta replace those retiring and ne nomination meeting ta attend. It's al very duil. Newcastle Editor Gord Agnew is already unhappy because in that village ne one has come forward as a possible candidatq for office. Even last year's sucessful council officiais have given no indication that they wiil aliow their names ta stand once more. We haven't heard much from Clarke, Manvers, J Cavan, Cartwright or Holpe Townships, but in Darlington there appears ta be good prospects cf pienty cf electoral excitement aithough Reeve Garnet Rickard will be retiring. But, in Bowmanviile everything is ~Iquiet around couneil. There is ne election in the offing. Frankly, we believe the one year term is best. Then, if a councillor has clone a good job he or she stands littie chance cf being ousted by the voters, and it does give the public an oppor- tunity ta assess a councillor's work over a 12 month period. Many citizens might be induced te try municipal service if they knew they could retire within a year if they f ound the work too time- consuming, too uninteresting or un- satisfactory. The twa year stretch is a different matter and anyone contem- plating it, must make a major decision because of the added year cf bcing tied up at numerous meetings. We believe council next year might be well advis- ed ta have another vote on this subject, because it doesn't appear to be working quite as well as anticipated. We aise notice that many other communities have returned ta the one year term. We aise believe that there must be some method cf cutting down the time that council must spend on municipal affairs. Each year they are becoming more compiicated, with usuaily two or three meetings cf considenabie length per week and quite cf ten four or f ive. T1he average business executive just doesn't have that much tîme ta spane from his home or his store or plant, se he stays far removed from cntering the field and the community suffers from a shortage of top notch personnel. Under present conditions, it would ap- pear that the oniy cnes who have the time ta do the job thoroughly are those who are working an eight hour day or who are net tooclcoseiy tied up with business. This in our opinion is a re- grettable situation -%vhich cannot pro- duce the best governmcnt possible. lIow it can be aitered is another matter. However, we do suggest that mem- bers cf the general public couid be far more understanding in their demands and much more considerate than they have been in the past. Many times in the merchants hope to receive some patronage fromn the thousands of vis- itors xvho will be in town, but very cf ten the reverse holds true. Practically no business takes place during the parade and last year, most of the local people ent home for lunch directly after the parade, while, regrettabiy, many from the area and fromn out-of- town headed west ta do their shopping e]sewhere. But this cali for heip is not directed at merchants. Almast ahl of themn have donated up to $20 each ta heip finance the parade and also are making sizeable contributions ta the Christmas lighting aiong the main street. This editorial is directed at citizens generaiiy in an effort ta, raise sufficient additional funds ta finance the parade. This year's expenses have been exceptionally heavy because funds have been expended for floats which can be used and revamped year after year. It will be recalled that Belleville Fire Brigade loaned us many of their floats iast year, something that they cannot he expected ta repeat on a regular basis. Se, please corne to the rescue of those who are trying their best, to do something for the good of this corn- munity . . . ail, without thought of any pensonal reward other than the satisfaction of seeing old and young enjoy themselves as they watch the big parade go by. Lend a hand, won't you, it is soreiy needed. the enrly morning or late at night, tax- payers grab up the 'phone at the ieast provocation te telephone a member cf council, or the Town Clerk with cern- plaints or demands. Ail too cf ten, they find they cannot have a cup of coffee in a restaurant or even go te church without somebody bothering them about municipal affairs. These hard-working officiais are flot slaves, they are public servants available at regular hours except in emergencies. 'Ne would suggest that before anyone 'phones or buttonholes any of thema on the street, they put themselves in the same position and try ta be a littie con- siderate. There are many satisfactions con- nected with public service in accomp- lishing those things which are for the betterment of the community. But thene is no reason we can see why elected officials shouid be expected te be on duty 24 hours a day, especially by those who wouid scream their heads off if anyone asked them te do the same, f or the same pay. Summing up, we suggest we get back ta the one year tel-m as quickiy as possible, and, until that happens let's be more considerate of our elected officiais and aur fine staff cf municipal empîcyees. In those areas where elec- tions xiii take place, we piead with the citizens ta attend the nomination meetings in large numbers and allow their name ta stand for council if they feel they can make a contribution te local govcnnment. It is a vitaiiy im- portant cog in cur democratie system. Likely Use Letter "O" As Bullseye on Cow There is a farmer in the Kapus- kasing area in Northern Ontario who deserves honor and recognition by the Optimists Club. To proteet a valuabie cow from hunters he painted the ivond "COW" on the animal's side. This farmer's optimism shouid be rewanded for his belief that ail hunters look f irst and then shoot. And it wouidn't be surpnising if a trigger- happy hunter used the letter "O" in1 the wvord "cew" as the buiiseye.-The Sud- bury Star. ORIGIN 0F CHRISTMAS SEALS A Danish postman, Einar Hoibeeli, thought up the idea cf the Christmas Seal campaign while soting Christmas mail in 1903. He and his feiiow post- mcn xvorked eut the details and with the patronage of King Christian and Qucen Louise, the first Christmas Seals wene offered ta the Danish people in 1904. The idea has since cincled the worid. Christmas Seais raise money for tubercuiosis preventian on every continent. ~Iea amn %t#marn Durham County's Great Fami)y journal Established 108 years ogo in 1854 Also Incorporatinge% The Bowmanville News The Newcarstle Independent eN The Orono News "Autbarized as Second Cias Mail by the Post Office Dept..

EDITORIAL COMMENT Shoulder to the Wheel Last December this community ... and this includes the entire surround- ing area . . . received a great psycho- logical and most enjoyable boost when the finest Santa Claus parade in local hstory was held here. People from nearby towns and cities wvere amazed that such a parade could be staged by a comparatively small community. Many of you wiil recali hearing the comments on radio, in the outside news- papers and even on television. In short, the 1961 parade was such a tremendous success in every respect that those who were present remembered and taiked about it for the entire year. We had really* done something worthwhile, something memorable. Plans are going forward rapidly, the bands have been arranged for, but there is one main stumbiing block to the entire program ... lack of sufficient funds ta make it the outstanding suc- cess it was last year. There are a great mnany folks, merchants and others who are holding off, causing those in charge many hours of worry, when they aiready have their hands filied doing other work. As you know, the parade has no commercial aspect, so it should have as mucli appeal ta the factory \vorker and his family, the people on farms nearby, those in offices not conneeted f wîth retail outiets as it has for those who seil Christmas presents.
