In re- ply 1 wish to' state tMat all -rural school trustees should be elected by municipal .ballot and sworn in" the same as a Reeve, The qualifications of a trustee are: He must own house and property in the section, assessed at least one thousand dollars and in his own name (not dad's; mother's, wife's, or hus: band's), with no encumbraice; all taxes paid in full and owing no person as much as a dime, and at any time during his term of office. Iff a trustee is not capable of man- aging his own personal affairs he should not try to manage his neigh- bour's or public affairs. The present act states a trustee must own and occupy at least twenty acres of land; that same act is keeping a number of * | good persons from serving on a school board.

Do not bé the cause of accidents, Prevent them, a A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS THAT IS RUINOUS TO SMALL TOWNS Last week city newspapers publish! ed and commented upon the annual re- port of a large elty baking concern which has many distributing depots in towns throughout Ontario. The re- port played up the increased net earn- ings, the millions of loaves of bread manufactured during the- year, esti- mated number. of customers served, the numberof trucks and wagons used in distributing to depots-and delivery to customers. All in all it was a typital report of what might be term- ed. a modern big business mass pro- duction proposition. 'From the stand- point of the officers, directors and shareholders of the company it would niore than likely be pronounced a most succesful and gratifying year's business, But let us consider this report from the angle of atiy"on& of the fifty or more towns and cities where this large company has a distributing. .de- pot. Mind you many ofthese so- called depots, as in Bowmanville, only and- wagon, who has often to work from carly morning until late at night-té sell his quota of bread, as he only gets a low wage plus a commis- sion based on his sales. This is no reflection-on the salesman who is only trying to make a living of some kind. It is plain to be scen that while these salesmen find it hard to make ends meet, at the same time, they are able through the exploitation and advertis- ing. carried on by their firm, they make a daily turnover of sales which materially affect the business of the local tradesman, , Some may say why worry about the local bakers? Here is why: Because he pays taxes on his business and-his residence, wages to his employees which are in turn spent with other merchants in the town. He supports local institutions, he co-operates with citizens for "the betterment of the community. In fact every move your local baker makes, as well as every other local merchant, tends to lower the taxes of his fellow- citizens. "Ho supports religious, charitable, sport and philanthropic endeavours, as a loyal and willing town-builder, which you would have to support to a great- er degree If he were not in business here.
