JUST EIGHT MORE DAYS to Nomination
clay.
This year there will be four men needed
to stand for public school board. Three of the
present members have indicated that they will
be ready to act if they are nominated and
elected. One of them, however, has resigned
his position here in Clinton, and '.vill not be
available. This, means that one new man at
least will need to be named. Why not four
more names besides those already on the board?
It would be a ,novel thing to have an election
for school board.
In the Public Utilities Commission, two men
are completing their term of office, and either
they must be, re-elected, or other men put for-
ward. Last year there was quite a bit of
actionshown. prior to election day in this sec-
tion. Really there should be an election here
too, if for no other reason than to assure the
existing commissioners of the faith the public
has in them.
As far as council goes -anything may hap-
pen. Rumours (as they say on television) are
rife. We are assured of a reeve and 'deputy
reeve, same as this year, if they are 'not op-
posed and unseated. The mayor has indicated
his willingness to serve again, if the people
want him. There is some indication that he
enay have opposition, however, but this is only
rumour so far. In council, two men have de -
AT LEAST ONE
IT TS NECESSARY in the preparation of
an election campaign to have a couple of firm
planks on which to place political speeches,
and action.
Recently it was brought to mind that sweet
topic for an editorial, "better sidewalks", and
what makes good topic for an editorial, may
also not come amiss as a selection for art
election plank.
The situation on Princess Street, right at
the Clinton District Collegiate Institute and
further to the west, is a dangerous and a
sloppy one. There are more than 350 young
people each day being delivered by car and
by bus to the collegiate, and they all have to
wade through mud an inch thick, and thicker
in other places, before getting to the building,
Each Wednesday night anothet 354 people -
adults, this time -cover the same area, with.
more cars. Once a month the Junior Farmers
and Junior Institute do the same thing, 'Teen
Town meets there every Friday. The Clinton
Area Youth for Christ holds meetings there.
Each time, hundreds of people must' muddle
through the mud.
cided to retire. ,This means at least two new
councillors, so really there should be about six '
new ones elected besides the present mei:, so
that there may be an election here, too.
There is scant satisfaction to a man to be
placed in any civic position by acclamation.
Just because he has a mover and a seconder,
and no opposition, does not always mean that
he is the only man for the job, nor does it
mean that the people want him more than
anyone else. More often it is a sign of a lazy
electorate, and no man can be satisfied with
such a situation. '
Often we have heard a man say that he
will not cause an election. That, to us is a
weak answer. It results in having eligible men
hover around at the back of the town hall,
moving about in whispers, waiting for the next
nomination to be posted. Modestly, they say,
they do not want to cause an election. Actually
they're just too shy to have their ''names` put
forward.
• Truly, if the democratic way of life is all
that it's cracked up to be, then we .must have
elections. How else may the general public
choose their man and stick to him? It is not
democracy by any manner of means to have a
group of men jockeying for position at the back
of a semi -filled hall, trying to make the number
of names on a slate come out even with the
number of position needed to be filled.
GOOD PLANK
Not only for the fact that this grime makes
a rather bad mess of the floors in the school
is this a bad situation, but it makes life miser-
able for all those who' are making use of this
newly re -decorated and otherwise fine building.
The fact that for some distance west of the
school there are no sidewalks on either side,
makes it a dangerous section both 'for the col-
legiate pupils walking to and from classes, and
a great many of the tiny tots in the public
school who also make use of Princess Street.
The situation is bad, and something should
be done about it without too much delay,
COURTESY PAYS OFF
MOST S14IALL TOWNS, and even large
towns, can use a pretty fair amount of good
publicity. Contacts with prospective industries,
business and people who may be thinking of
making their homes outside the cities, depend
to a greater extent than is generally realized
on the treatment which they receive from resi-
dents and officials who, quite unconsciously, set
the tone of the town's general attitude.

It is sometimes by devious
routes that Bibles reach their
destination. Air -mail from God"
-is the description, given to his
novel method of distribution by a
young missionary in Mexico. He
packs Gospels into an aeroplane
and drops them in remote villages,
in sectiona of the country bound
by mountains and forests.
As he flies slowly and' low over
a village, he drops the Scripture
portions in a steady stream. Old
and young rush ,out and search
the 'streets and ,countryside for
the little books. They return in
triumph' to read "titia message
from the sky."
The young missionary pilot of-
ten visits the 'same villages Iater
to find the books have been well
received. An old ' man will be
quietly reading under a shade
tree; a woman will. have one tuck-
ed into her market basket; a
lowlygroup of boys may be found slow-
ly
spelling -out the words one by
one. He claims he has never
heard of a copy being torn up or
thrown away,
In Europe various similar ef-
forts have been made to get the
Bible behind the Iron Curtain.
The book that has seen more
variety in its method of delivery
than any other, has been attached
to gas-filled balloons when the
wind direction was right, and cast
aloft to be carried over national
and ideological borders.
One new -Canadian devised a
scheme to send copies of the
Scriptures to friends in Central
Europe, When they failed to ar-
rive by regular mail in their own
right, she ,baked other copies in
bread or cake, and thus secured
their secret delivery.

other convenient banking services provided under one roof. •
