ANT JOB POR_ IMPORT hen the shareholders of any i� usiness desire the management, the elect to. their mina Y most efficient �Tmg T1 board of directors, the most capable men they can holds true in anybusiness, no matter find. This attitude how large or how small.. The business of •a municipality like the Town- of Clinton is the most important one—with the largest number the town. Is there any reason, there- fore, shareholders= --in Y fore, why its affairs should not be carried on by the (best group of men it is possible to secure? , The Town of Clinton's board of directors is its municipal officers—Town Council, Board of Education and Public Utilities Commission. Every member elected to :!'hese .bodies has a definite 'responsibility toward his fellow -citizens in carrying on the Town's business. There is going to be an election for 1946 because the By-law to institute a Board of Parks Management must be voted on by the electors. News reports published in The NEWS -RECORD last week indicate that there is a good 'possibility of an election for all offices—especially for Mayor, Reeve and Councillors. That is a healthy con- dition to exist in any town, and although acclamations are all right in their place, voting by the people is tihe only democratic method of deciding those who are to take the lead in town affairs in 1946. - The coming year will be a very important one in the history' of Clinton, as it will see the construction of a new sewerage system and sewage treatment plant. Clinton will need a good "board of directors''to solve the many , 'questions which may arise in connection with the project. Therefore, the citizens generally—if they have'the best interests of their town at heart—should not hesitate i to offer fillet, services for the benefit of'the. municipality. p It is to be hoped that a goodly number are placed in nomination on December 31, and stand for the electors' approval on January 7. ^` Boosts are always better than knocks, and knocks sometimes produce a boomerang effect on the knocker, Cooperation for the good of the town should be the keynote of -the coming election campaign. , © 0 0 , ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT Electrical development . is dealt with in the December issue of the Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada, which draws attention to the advance made since Michael Faraday gave such an impetus to progress and the knowledge of electrical research. New and more powerful techniques of the use of electricity are opening up new way,s of life, and creating new need's asrwell as easier ways of. meeting aid needs. In Canada, development of water power has been one of the greatest forces in making available -for use in industry and the home the natural resources of farm, forest and mine. Hydro -electric production has been • increased greatly in the central provinces and especially in Quebec, during the war, and they are now facing the need to secure peace -time users, while the other provinces are seized of the need for development of power and the servicing of many municipalities' and farm homes hitherto without. electricity. The fear of some -that there will be an' un- economic glut in the first several peace years is unfounded, according to widespread opinion 'among leaders in the, electrical field, because new uses, adaptable to peace time,. have been developed, new machines' will call for greater current' and more employees, while extension of domestic service to municipalities not now served wi$l help take up the slack. Thus, it will be 'seen that Canada's future is closely linked up with the development of her great hydro -electric resources. © © 0J EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—Don't try to get the best of the other fellow; try to bring out the best. - © 0 p Watch for the Special Christmas Issue of The NEW -RECORD next week. 0" ©• 0 • The letter to the editor from J.

OFF ' BUT SEVERAL REMAIN 'Ihe, progress of decontrgl• which began' more than';•a year '; ago has seen the remo'Vai' of restrictions on goods ranging from machinery to Coma types of clothing', - A partial list from which restrie- tions have been removed since July 1 of this"seal follows: Farm nischinery' and equipment, new .consttuetion machinery and equipment p xoities on repairs to civilian motet yobicles: • Women's coats and 'suits; long dresses;• men's fine e'etliing; men's and boys' woollen clothing; �; Bed ;sheets, `pillow cases, towels., towelling, bath mats; Fabries used in the manufacture of lenitted' lingerie; • Paper patterns,' facial tissues, paper napkins, paper _.towels, etc,; steno- graphers note books, writing. tablets; articles, goods and containers made, in whole or in part of paperboard; Use of cork in the m:lnufacture, of days over the scourge of 'creme whish Use of full 'leather soles "in repair - is being committed in our fair Pro.- ing civilian footwear; " vinee and Demmer:, A few -Years ago it was a "rare thing 'to hear of.a"bank robbery/ or hold-up. in our Province, but lately it is almost a daily occurrence, We. read of all manner of theft, hold ups, entering and pilfering and murder; and the sad fact is that much of this crime : is committed by young men in their teens, or early twenties. In tre case of the crime of murder, Cecil Snyder,' deputy Attorney General of Ontario, attributes the cause to "Undisciplined Youth," and, sees the reflect influence of war as a Factor. It appears that the record of murders for the last year shows o higher total than any previous one. Until they get their trial, we cannot know the full background of their crimes. If it is for getting easy money, there may be other factors entering into the cause. During the war years, our Govern- ment 'paid fine salaries, and money flowed• freely, but now that source las stopped, and it would appear that these young men want the same flow of income, and if it is not available by legal means, they have decided to get it by force, at the point of a gun. That these things are possible re- flects terribly on the home training, of our youth. It appears to many of us that this is the old rule of sowing and reaping. We have sown the seed of easy money, and now we are reaping the results of our folly. Have we citizens not been training our youth for years to erambie, or to get money by questionable methods? Every community has its clubs and social organizations to raise money, presumably for charitable purposes, ' 1 of chance all kinds 7vhe� i cs t� frolics to 1 ties fo } games are employed, as bingo,wheel of fortune and many other devices l unecl it is of chance, incl when it is ea for charity, the Government winks at it But is not this method nothiiur more than 'gambling on a small scale? Men's and women's footwear simp- lifications; luggage and 'small. leather goods. Among the orders still. in force are those which— Place general restrictions on wom- en's, misses and children's cotton and rayon wear; Restrict the use of fleece fabrics to children's and infante clothing', gloves, linings; and 'footwear; Require furs to be correctly labelled and designated; Ban sliced bread and' fix the maxi- mum of varieties of bread and other bakery product§; Restrict the use of tin containers; Limit' the use of resin and divert fats and oils to bar laundry soap and household soaps. • A Word For Our .

Donald Adams who writes^ so delightfully of books and reading in the Sunday Edition of the New York Times, pointed out in a recent issue that, "something like a note of envy, of rather unwilling admiration creeps into our increasingly frequent refer- ences to the Victorians." This is not surprising, rather it is remarkable that the virtues of our ancestors had not received our earlier admiration. They were remarkable people, they laid the foundations of.

Under present regulations one preserves coupon is good for 12 Dahl ounces of cranberry sauce. 4 4 , we are daily astounded by our ac- complishments, but perpetually re- minded that unless we step more war- ily than we have in the past we may be in grim danger of blowing up the world, or, at least smashing the mvili• nation of which, in 'fleeting moments, we are rather proud. The chances are that future gen- erations will look back and express their astonishment at our lack of progress. Science opened, its doors to us but ,we used the gifts of science for war. Education has been more widely diffused, but with it has come the idea, that we must get and not give, and that in some way a benefic- ent state must attend us at birth, provide food, clothing and education, give us a job, a pension mid a decent funeral, with rarely a hint that we should do anything in return. There are tines when we seem to be rather proud of our -ability to kick down the ladder by which we have climbed. A good deal of this arises out of altered conceptions, in 'regard • to money. The Victorians understood its nature and its u'se. They knew . that trade was an exchange of goods. Adana .Smith taught them that, they never faltered in their fit•nn accep- tance of it. .They knew that only by increased production and exchange could the standard of living be raised. We kftow, now, or we think we do, that 'the state can do it all. The result is a dopaeture from reality, a search foe the n0 hour week and a. hope that nil will he well when we achieve a more amorous measure of leisure. Consideration of how we in- tend to use jt ie. of course, a trivial .)natter—that will be organized by the state. How are we tc get, once more, our feet upon the ground. It's not easy to change established ideas, we have had our heads in the air so long that it is Waite impossible' for us to look at facts or to recognize them if we did. Out= task now is to glance back over the road we have travelled, think of the mistakes we have made, move More carefully in the future. It is good that we ehould, look back to our ancestors and he proud of them, per- haps better. that we should strive to be worthy of thorn, "There are three .great tasks of economic policy• to increase the size of the national income; to make its flow moee regular; and to improve its distribution.

At no, time• should tuik'eys •be housed Keep Your Head Down (The Printed Word) This dark period of early Winter is when it pays to go around with yobr head down and not look up at the sky at all. Note, however, that you should be careful net to put your head too far down, or the rain will fall inside your coat c collar on the ilack of your neck. The main thing is not to look up at the sky or think about it. The glum fact that the sun sets in • the afternoons, not to rise until after breakfast the next day, cannot entirely depress the spit its of anyone Who steadfastly ro- fuses to notice this glum fact. It is well enough to acknowledge the weather by putting on rubbers end an overcoat and storm windows, but if you are planning to make any sort of a fight against melancholy it is imperative not to think about the curtailed scenery which has been lost in the smog. Certainly 'you must avoid comparing this dismal situation with bright Summer morn- ings, for that way lies sure urs- happiness, Some• people, for fear of. making this comparison, prepare for the present season by carefully not noticing the good seasons. Even in the Spring or in golden Autumn they go around with their heads down, lest they might see something beauti- ful and then remember it in the dark of early Winter and feel depressed at what they had lost. ' For most of ns, however, the ordin- ary precautions are enough; •sleep indoors; try to get a job indoors, pre- ferably in a room without windows so that you won't see there is no sunlight; and when you are forced to travel at all, such as from your sleeping place to yew! working place, or back again at the end of the shift or thc.start of it, be careful to travel as touch as possible indoors, in a car or bus or tram, rather than by walk- ing or running or riding horseback or on snowshoes. Another point' is that when, the alarm clock rings i.n the morning 'gloom you should remember not to recite poems, like R. L.. Stevenson's little character, about having to get up by night and say your prayers by candle light. The thing to..do is to keen .your mind off this' stuff about its being dark and simply shove your legs out -from under the covers into the cold; ,so that'- your toes can feel around on the floc• for your slippers. At this stage it is well to keep your. eyes completely shut.' a$ a ,further precaution against noticing how dant it is, By practice many have learned with chicltens, because ehlekens are to get -neatly all the way across the cateiera of•blackhead. disease. although bedroom and notopen their eyes un- the':tiliickene themselves are seldom til they 'trip on the lawn roller which affected by it, had been'' brought hi there by- mistake.
