J. Gardhouse, who after 17. years‘ continuous service, decided to retire on his laurels. He not only served his township, but during that period, brought honor to Etobicoke, when he was chosen many long years ago to bé the Warden of his native county. He will be succeeded as Reeve by the genial William Clarkson, whose election by acclamaâ€" tion was a fitting tribute to his work as Deputyâ€"Reeve in years past. His experience makes him an ideal wchoice for the mantle_of his predecessor. The defeat ~of Gid: Silverthorne came as .a distinct surprise. The three elected as Counciliors are Tom. Coulter, W. A. Armstrong and H. H. Smith, three tried and good men. ‘With theâ€" end of the year 02 C.P.R. employses fNwore nfinf‘flrnubqn. The average age of these pensionâ€" ers is 65 years and 4 months.

This advice is displayed every week on the front page of the Journalâ€"Argus, the excellent weekly that has dore much to promote the interests of the town in which it is published. Similar advice might well be given to people of other towns. Curious people have asked us if we heard about a supposed "‘party" alleged â€"to haveâ€" been held in a local basement. They enlarged on the alleged "Doin‘s" to such an extent that we have wondered if such an ocâ€" eurrence could be possible in our fair town. With only a 42% vote cast in Weston on January 2nd it looks as if a great number of our citizens believe in "letting George do it." If this majority are willing to let the minority carry on the business of adminisâ€" tration without criticism during 1983, everybody will be satisfied. * "It‘s up to me in ‘33!" ‘Good motto for all, but especially for young men who have been assisted in the year that is past, and who have opportunities in differâ€" ent ways not open to men with families. majority, certainly recited the funeral rites of Comâ€" munism in York, and may its carcass never see resurâ€" rection in our day. ‘In Ward 3 Charles P. Cashman ousted Councillor Daniel Newhort, otherwise the 1932 Council was returned intact for another year. Swansea provided a sensation in the snowing under of DePuty-Reeve D. J. McBeth, who is replaced by C. C. Downey. "Bob." Wallace, of course, just walked back ‘to the Reeve‘s chair unopposedâ€"kind of monarch of all be surveyed. And Bob deserved it every bit. R. A. Bales in Ward 2 in a hopeless fight. _ W. J. Boddy, in Ward 1, secured a wellâ€"deserved victory, while J. C. Bull had no difficulty in defeating Mrs. M. Bramble for the Deputyâ€"Reeveship in Ward 3. George B. Elliott, "the smiling Reeve," just rolled back for another year, just as easy as rolling off a log. George has an eye on the 1933 Wardenship, and before a month is over, he may have more than his eye on it. The chair is there waiting for him, the prophets say. Good old York Township, which gave radicalism a real K.0. Even the most sanguine never dreamt that the result would be so decisive. It told the Tim Bucks and Ewart Gladstones what their fellow citizens think of them and their twaddle. Alf. Gray with his 7,000 Weston had two positions balloted for, that of Reeve and that of Utilities Commissioner, and the results are given in another column: Reeve A;~C. Ella, who sought reâ€"election, failed to make the grade, and will be reâ€" placed by an old timer, none other than Jim Cameron. Truly we urged the electors to give Mr. Ella another The applecart was also upset in the contest for Commissioner, and the retiring me\nber. W. J. Lawâ€" rence, was defeated by another old timer, A. Lorne Coulter, whom we supported for many reasons. The memberâ€"elect has in years past held‘the confidence of Weston electors, and that confidence was never misâ€" placed or abused. Lorne Coulter is an outstanding citizen whose record is an enviable one. His experience will be valuable, and his reputation ensures clean, honest service. The chief upset in North York came in the casting out of Deputyâ€"Reeve W. W. Carson, who fell before term, on the ground that under present conditions, continuity in office was desirable. We said nothing to belittle or criticize Mr. Cameron, and now that he is the people‘s choice, we hurry to felicitate him, at the same time assuring him, that in all his efforts to serve Weston, he will have the support and apâ€" preciation of this paper. Comparatively few places escaped a contest, and changes resulted. Favorites have been returned, and favorites have lost out. _ Surprises and disappointments have been plenty. It now simply remains for all, to accept loyalâ€" ly, the decision of the majority, ‘Forgetting our petty differences and clashing opinions, we can best serve our community by getting solidly behind the men who have been chosen, and helping them by our support and coâ€"operation, to make 1933 a year of recuperation and improvement. We congratulate winners and losâ€" ers alike; we respect both and will meet again a year hence. ITIZENS in the various municipalities have once C more exercised their franchise and given a verâ€" f dict in the choice of those who will be cusâ€" todians of local government for the year 1933. "Jim" served eleven years on Vaughan Township Council and was the county representative for that body for six years, four as Reeve and two as Deputy, and in 1914 was the County Warden. He has been active in public life since coming to Weston, having served thirteen years on the Board of Education, for two years as chairman. He was also assessor for the Town for six years. * AS. A. CAMERON, Weston‘s new Reeve, has a fine J record of public service. and his long experience, +. coupled with that of Deputyâ€"Reeye W. W. Gardâ€" house, should produce some interesting results in this year‘s County Council. - MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS PROVIDE SURâ€" PRISES AND MANY CHANGES New New New New New New New M.*w”l‘br.mufi.

EDITORIAL NOTES A GOOD RECORD l Again, 1 tell }'ou that the actions of the local officials of the Hydro ‘were not what I‘xe a right to exâ€" |pect from & pu rvant,. â€" â€"There | was no need whatever for this curâ€" | rent to have been cut off five months | ago if any reasonable judgement had been use«{ There was no need for | discourtesy to a perfectly good cusâ€" ! tomer upon him presenting himself | to your local office. There was no | need for ary collection charge except, { indeed, to produce revenue for you | and other officials to draw nice fat | salaries at my and other poor souls‘ | expense. As you can gather from these few lines and what your discérning brain must see between them if they are not sufficiently plain I am not satisfied with your letter and your so. called investigation. I have been five months without electricity and I can be five years, but because I rather like you personally I shall give you another chance to make an adjustment with a suitable apology. I do give you the ¢redit of offering this apology volunâ€" tarily had your trumped up investigaâ€" tion revealed the true facts, but it didn‘t, but in order that there shall be ho misunderstanding in the matter now I am sending a copy of this letâ€" ter to the local paper as well as to The Daily Star in Toronto with the request that it be published. I shall hope to hear from you some time before theâ€"15th of â€"this month and I would suggest that this time the matter be laid before the press for the people in the Province to know It is very good of the Etobicoke ofâ€" fice to agree to adjust the water heatâ€" er account back to the time they cut my service off, but I feel that there is no court in this country that would compel me to pay for something that you contracted to supply me with and then refused to supply me with. At least if there is it is high time that the people of this country woke up to the fact that they‘are being wufked over rough shod by their own Governâ€" ment. There is a general election not far off and you may rest assured that I shall not remain silent at that time. It would seem that the Engineering Department conducted a soâ€"called in vestigation of the episode and have made a finding but how they can inâ€" telligently arrive at a finding without a hearing of one of the principals of the controversy is hard for me to understand. That there is an element of truth in their report to you is adâ€" mitted. That there is a volume of fact not reported to you is alsoâ€"shall we sayâ€"admitted. _ _ â€" In other words I feel that you have whitewashed the affair that I took the trouble to present to you and I proâ€" test against it. I am prepared to pay you what I owe you up to August the 17th, when you by the act of your local management who showed frightâ€" fully poor judgement cut my current off unnecessarily. It may be that there was and is not a correct underâ€" standing between your linemen and the local management but I am not to be held responsible for this.

How much service have we done in 1982?. The glory of God is found mot only in beauty, but in service. The winning of men and women to the Cross of Calvary is the greatest job on earth. f Says a modern writer: "It is in these times of spiritual twilight, when trees walk and distant hills tremble and fade, that the crank can be discovered, waving his long, thin arms and misâ€" taking every firefly for the rising sun. But when the age is at end, when the sun has risen and the world is flooded with clear light and all the spectres have vanished, when the fine edges have been restored and hil} and tree and stream come back to the sight, when men and women go walkâ€" ing in the fields, and turn their faces to the level light, careless of the long trembling shadows they cast behind them, when the world is seemingly reâ€" made and given to man with the dew upon it, then you will find everythi again in its place. But you will r::{ find the crank. He has fluttered away with the moths." Union Prayer Service Marks Week of Prayer But J)eople who delight in cool reaâ€" son and abhor fanaticism will {et win out. The absurd panic of the fanatics cannot prevail against the citadel of common sense. A little more patience is called for and then the cranks will fade out with their hareâ€"brained schemes. The work of the crank is his unâ€" shakable belief that his own particuâ€" lar crotchet will save the world. There is, perhnr, nothing peculiar about persons who want to save the world, but the crank displays such a ludicrous want of any sense of proâ€" portion that he tickles the comic spirit of normal humans. The crank who believes that humanity has but to take some curious little step to arrive at perfection, who would bring back the Golden Age with one wave of his diminutive wand is indeed amusing. But after a while, when we get to know him better, he merely bores and irritates us. Seeing that there are now so many wellâ€"meaning and energetic persons in the world, persons with a brave public spirit, intent upon reform, many people wonder why so little is done. They forget that there are so many cranks among us, all pulling in difâ€" ferent directions, all ready to make us perfect, but each proffering his own foolish little remedÂ¥1. In tfii period of transition, of change, wflen our social system, our philosophy, our reâ€" ligion have been split into fnimems, the crank is bound to make his apâ€" pearance.
