Storey, addressed the Town Council at its regular Decem- ber meeting regarding a suitable Soldiers' Memorial for Bowmauville.

Thickson are in Co- bourg this week atteuding ths fins) session for 1924 of Counties Council. Apart from the regular routine busi- ness the big queýstion upperinost lu th e minds of the councillor-s wil nodoubt be, who will be elected war- Sden next year? The honor forý 1925 couios to ]Yurhamr County as, Warden W. M. Foulds, Hastings, was the representative chosen from Nor-ý ,thumberlaud Couaty this year. 1 There are three names mnentionedi f or the ceveted honor: Reeve Milton J. Elliott, Bowmanville;. Reeve James McCamius, Cavyan Township; anid Reeve W. T. Wood, Millbrook. It's high time that the Wardenship came to Bowmanville as it is a way back- in the 90's since the houer was conferrod upon a Bowiniville re- presentative, the late W. P. Prower. We feel confident it -would be a very popyular election should Reeve Elliott be eleyated te this office. He bas showu' considierable ability and geod judgment at the local counili board, is au indlefatigable worker sud is exceediugly popular with bis co- workers and citizens g-euerally. He bhas been elected Reeve two consecu- tive years by acclamation aud will ne doubt be returued to the office nztyear. by the same process. Diow-n at Counities Council it is said that polities is really the founda- tion as stspping stones to promotion -providing yeu happeýn to ho on the right sie. Reeve Eliott bas the proper qualifications lu this regard being a stsuncb Conservativë- which is generally lu the mrajority iu thisi asseuibly. It bas been- mooted more 'than once that Reeve Elliott would be a very acceptable candidate for the Conservative party at the uext provincial electien. CommTenting on the prospective candidates for Warden the Port Hope Times, says: Iu point of service, Reeve Wood bas been longer at tl'e Coun-cil table than ouy of bis other oppouients. Reeve Elliott, however, has madle a most remarkable impression on tbe Couuncillors. He bas taken a promn- inent part lu the debates on the questions whi-ch have come beforo Council and at the sanie time 'lie bas shown a ready grasp o f council business that marked him out fori special work. Iu the debate last, session on the question of assessmeint he showed an exceptionally lceeu grasp of the question at issue sud ex.- plaiuod his position clearly and con- cissly to his colleagnes. Reeve McCaàmus also has taken a prominont part lu the affaira of the counties. Representing a township he has shown no partiality lu the1 debates affectiug the relative posi- tions of urban aud towuship. Hle is also a good speaker, clear sud concise lu his argumenit3ansd like Reeve Elliott is popuulsr with bis colleo.gues. AIl three are good men and the CountY Counecillors cau make no nus- take iu their appintmient tliis yeêr.

'their hilarity may seem foolish nonsense. to you, but to them it i.s lufe, and now is their timie in life to enj oy it to the full. They need to laugh and to be innocently glad and to takze their pleasure, the [easiest way. Later, nisybe, they will become as we are-inclîned to see everything seriously. We, too often, fail to see the rsys of gladnesc eveni wheu they glitter near our paths. We have known people whu really prefer to consider themselves under oppression, who actually taice offense if remarks are made on their goodi health or good fortune; who seem to enjoy troubles and make them outý of nothing, or hunt up past ones toi dwell upon. TWs woiald not matter if t heyi woiild keep their glooni to themselves and shlow others to enjoy their own brightness. but they strive to make others sround them as miserable as themselvcs. They wifll deliberately turu away from smnail joys and pleas- ures as if sadness snd gloom were preferable. ntsenfoih u Does it nteerloih n waste, to constantly dwell upon fan-i cied injuries, and to spend more bours thinking the worst about Dur-, selves?
