Chronicle. and every citizen in the town should be as anxious as Mr. (“alder to cut down unneces- sary expenditure, but this thing of using the council table as a means of humiliating people you don’t happen to like is going a little too far. We want economyâ€"and lots of itâ€"â€"but it isn’t econoniy ’.f it has '--' statement that Reeve Calder has coll «tell as much easy money from this municipality as a lot of the men he criticizes. When in charge of our street-making department in recent years. we have never heard of him laboring very hard for his $4.00 per day, and the Durham public will naturally expect him to cut this salary in two this sum- mer in order to fully carry out his economy program. - lt' Reeve Calder is as sincere in his economy cry as he would have his hearers believe, there is no doubt that before the year .is out, he will have a chance to prove it. Though we have no sympathy with the diggnig up of things that are past and gone. we feel that in this instance we are justified in the statement that Reeve Calder has We miss our guess if the citi- zens of the town generally are in sympathy with or will stand for the burlesque statements of Durham’s Reeve as it affects the policing of our streets and the maintenance of law and order. Despite the assertions of some of the town constable’s enemies who cover up their personal feelings with the argument that the town does not need a constable. our ex- perience of a couple of years ago dues not bear out the correctness of the statement. T he Chronicle is not concerned in the case as it affects Constable Falconer. We are not advocating him for the position; we don’t care whether he gets it or not. His assertion that Durham does not need a Constable is also far fetched. Whether Durham needs a (-onstahle or not, the Provincial Statutes say that she must have one. and if this kind of thing keeps up. the town may soon find itself in the same position as Listowel. A few years ago under similar cir- cumstances, Listowel Council, for some reason, failed to appoint an officer, and the provincial author- ities gave her so long in which to do so or they would make the ap- pointment themselves, and Listowel H'uu/(I pay the salary. I n the case of the Constableship, espe cially. the Reeve showed poor taste. The net result is that today Dur- ham has neither a Constable nor a Health Officer, for the appointment in the first instance was not made, and Dr. A. M. Bell, who received the M. O. H. appointment, has re- fused to accept it at the reduced salary. Altogether, the savings suggested by the Reeve. had they gone through, would have been ap- proximately $250.00â€"not worth talking about when spread over the town's total assessment. At the inaugural meeting of the Town Council on Monday evening, Reeve Calder gave a good imitation of everything a Reeve should not be. For the first meeting of the year, it was fraught with too much petty personality to create a favor- able impression as to the ultimate outcome of future meetings. Inl his apparent zeal for economy, he fought to reduce the Assessor’s salary. the salary of the Town Con- stable and also that of the Medical Officer 02' Health.

A young man down Orangeville way, acting queerly of late, has been lodged in jail on a lunacy charge. It’s a love affair, and he thinks he must marry two girls. Our advice would be to let him go to it. If TWO wives can’t knock the craziness out of him, his case is hopeless. It is said that the O.T.A. will oc- cupy a place in the speech from the throne at the opening of the On- tario Legislature on January 10. Judging from the remarks of Me- Causland, Currie and Company, the Old Toper’s Association is also pre- paring to be heard. Man, boiled down to actual con- stitutents, is said to be worth only 98 cents. That may be so with some people. Others contain more than that amount of brass. Owen Sound had a. hold-up thrill last Saturday night, and now that city is on par with Hamilton. The police force can’t find the men who did the- job. An Ottawa entomologist says that there are 154 different kinds of fleas. Perhaps that’s why a dog moves 154 different ways when he’s scratching them. You can’t tell by the shepe of a frog how far he can jump. Neith- er can you judge a fellow’s mental- ity by the clothes he wears. Many a man has married a cross word puzzle, and the longer he's married, the crpaoer the words and the moie puzzling.
