THE Eveiy Present Has a Happy Future in Some Man's Life! FOR YOUR TOP MEN ! taco, but the fact that nobody seemed to care when the nominations were held, or for that matter, whether they were held at all, Anyhow, the hills met with what might he termed general apathy. The idea was that the merchants shoald display 'them in their windows, but nobody showed mych,interest, and we have a good idea that several of the bills promptly found their way into the waste basket. We weren't ex- pecting to be met with any wild ac- claim, but we did think that the choosing of next year's council might evoke a little interest. We were pondering this general lassitude on the part of the elector- ate, when we met up with one of 'the town fathers. We handed him a pro- clamation, which he looked at with a certain amount of distaste, We asked him if he intended to run for office again next year. He didn't look very enthusiastic. In fact after a recitation of the woes of holding public office, we would say that he was definitely opposed. To begin with, he said, there's nothing in it for the office holder— unless you rate the glory. There's no , pay, no fun, no recognition and no thanks for the job. Instead it costs you money, costs you time, and if you're in business it's liable to cost you customers. There's always some- body who doesn't like what you've been doing on the council, and taking their business away because of it (p: Running for public office costs so much in these different ways, and intereferes with brie's personal inter- ests to such an extent, that lots of people never even consider the pos- sibility. He told Us some other things about holding office, too. Supposing you de- cide you owe the community a debt of something or other, and you decide that as a labor of love you'll serve on the town council to pay it back. What happens? First thing you know somebody will start complaining about the way You do it. So you get one part of the street paved, after much consul- tation and deliberation, Before you know it the people on the other part are talking about discrimination, and asking how come their part wasn't paved too, and suggesting that the town council has bungled the whole thing, or that there's a nigger in the woodpile somewhere. In almost every- thing you do there will be some people who will attribute the worst possible motives. And if they disapprove of your actions, better watch out, You'll be called either a rogue or a fool. The trouble is, he went on, every- body likes to complain, but nobody wants to do anything about it. Ask thecomplainers to run for office' themselves—give them the chance to put all the wrong things right—and will they? Not blooming likely, Give them the chance to run for office, and they'll run alright—like a scalded cat in the wrong direction. That's the trouble with democratic institutions today—nobody will take responsibil- ity. We had to admit that there was something in his argument. In fact while we were agreeing with his, we were doing a little reminiscing on our own. We were thinking about a little disagreement in an organization we belonged to ourselves. . . and about a few things we had had to say about the way things were being run, . . and about how a member of the nominat- ing committee had asked us if we would care to run for offices our- selves. And although we couldn't quite remember what the excuse was, we could remember very definitely that the answer was NO. Our town father was still talking. about the difficulty in getting people to run for office when we snapped out of it. We agreed wholeheartedly. mumbled something about delivering the rest of the proclamations, and sidled off, resolving to mend our ways. with a gift chosen from our wide assort- and pleasure !
