ALL SHOULD VOTE (Acton Free Prese.) It fs important that a!! possible votes be polled in the municipal elec- tions which are approaching. It is much better to register your vote, and to teke an actives interest in town affairs, rather than f2il to vote and for the balance of the year offer adveree criticisms of everything done by those whd were pvt in office by terest in civic affairs to go t: the polls on election day. As a general thing, the town council is not. ap- preciated as it should be.- Those ‘who accept office invariab!y make con- siderable eacrifice of their own leis- ure, and put time ard thought on community business, striving to do what they consider to be for the best interests of the town. Many women are very negligent abon‘: voting, which is decidedly short-sighted. At the meetings of all women's organ- zations plans are made for the im- provement of local conditicns in var- ious respects, and Trequently the é6ame women who are members of hese clubs will fail to exert vote for geome improvement which is in direct line with what thev have been advocating at tieir clubs The members of the council cannot be expected to know the will -f a pofu- lace which does not vute. “To what do you attribute your success,’’ was asked’of a business man the other day. His answer came back promptly: “I always made an effort to discount all of my bills. I was especially careful not to over. look small accounts thet kave a ten- dency to grow when neglected ” All euccessful men vill tell much most priceless asset. You never know when you will need financial! back- ing, when your good credit will give you an opportunity ‘o makn big money. The man who is commonly snid to be ‘“‘good pay’ can usually secure financial support from othere when needed. The man who Is referred to “slow” cr “no good" can rarely get financial backing regardless of his ability as a entertainer or repu- tation as a “good fellow.” We are about to begin a new year. Our suggestion is that you etart it off right by cleaning up all outstand- ing debts, large and small—that you either acquire or maintain the repu- tation of being a good credit risk.
