TUCKERSMITH TOWNSHIP COUNCIL llIceting Date Is Change:' The council -elect for the township of Tuckersmith for 1940 fulfilled their obligations by attending at the coun- cil. chamber, in Seaforth, on Monday, January 8tlh each subcribing to the declaration of office, which consti- tutes the last requirement, in order to make them a fully legalized gov- erning body, after which ceremony Rev. Mr. Bremner, who was present, complimented the council in obtain- ing the confidence of the people, as expressed in an election by acclaina- tion, and implored divine guidance for them in all their deliberations, and that God may bless them, their enactments, and the people whom they serve, during the coming year, A very pleasing expression, of the "entente cordial" was received by the council from the council of Seaforth in the form of a motion, "Moved by F. S. Sills, seconded by Charles Holmes, that the council extend the season's greetings to the incoming council of the Township of Tucker• smith, and that the same cordial re- lations that have obtained between the two bodies in the past may be continued." The council unanimously joined in an exchange of greeting and heartily endorsed the sentiment ex- pressed in the motion, the officials concurring. The minutes of Dec. -6 were read and adopted. The following officials were ap- pointed for 1940, the salaries to be the same as in 1939: Robert Dal- rymple, Road Superintendent; Dr. J. D. Coiquhoun, medical health offi- cer; W. P. Thompson, member board of health; John Earle, sanitary in- spector; James Love and Arthur Fin- layson, auditors; W. S. Broadfoot, weed inspector. The Clerk was in- structed to prepare bylaws conifint- ing the above appointments, also a bylaw confirming the re -appointment of poundkeepers, fence ;viewers and stock valuators, to be the same as last year. Andrew R. Bell was ap- pointed delegate to attend the con- vention of Rural Municipalities As- sociation on Feb. 20th and 21st in Toronto, and that membership fee of $5.00 be paid. The date of the future monthly meetings was changed from the last • Saturday of each month to the first Saturday so that all accounts of the past month might be in the hands of the council before meeting, the next - meeting to be on Saturday, Feb. 311-1, at 2 pan.

OTTAWA, January 12, 1940. 'L4�-'•KSYII E�J6IP •P acv.t�X.Ar '^S.^ 7.'aro =1, M. LM LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF YOUTH Suggestions from Boys' Parliament On previous occasions the Boys' Parliament has expressed disapproval of cadet training in Ontario ,schools but this year it was approved. The feeling of the members was that the youth of the country should have some military training., but that such training should be entirely voluntary. It is rather interesting each year to hear of the doings in this parliam- ent to get an idea of the minds of the youth of the province. These boys were chosen to represent their respec- tive districts and they were choice young mon and their elders would do well to hearken to what they say. They did not speak on the spur of the moment, but only after careful deliberation and consideration. Let us look briefly at some of their decisions: they voted in favor of con- scription of man power, as long as it was accompanied by conscription of wealth and industry; they argued that careful sex instruction should be giv- en in the schools as it was of ,viital importance to physical and moral as -1 poets of adolescents; liquor was sev- erely scorned and the earlier closing I of beverage rooms urged; it was' agreed that selected groups of im- migrants should be allowed to enter Canada, not only to relieve suffering land persecution in Europe but to bring in intellectual and cultured peo- ple; more religious training should be given in High School, as now it was conspicuously lacking. From the above citizens cangain some idea of what is in the minds of these young men who seen anxious to itnprove conditions :and to put liv- ing on a higher level, Canada's great- est heritage is its young people; and we need better men and nobler men. This group are seeking to this end and older citizens should heed their Voice. They Tell Us Its A True Story (The Hanover Post) During the recent election cam-, themselves "married to the job:' The paign in Hanover, we have been told Chronicle further states that: "Men by parties in whose word we have' go the way of all other things, They much confidence, a local manufactur wear out with age. 'Unlike ale, which is supposed to itnprove with age, the genus homy gets weak in the legs, loses his teeth, and disintegrates. When this time comes in the life of a community, it is just too bad. There is nobody to take the other man's place, attd the municipality suffers." While not going all the way in sup- porting the Chronicle, there is a good deal of truth in what it says. There have been several cases where men in Hanover were called to be mayor after they had passed their prime— when they were actually called out of retirement because there were no others in the council willing to take their place. We know of few, if any, er, seeking to get the views of his employees on how the election was likely to go as between the various candidates, asked one man his views on the matter. The workman, it is said, admitted that the council had been doing good work, that the tax rate and the debenture debt had been reduced substantially, but he added that he was voting for some of the new men, in the belief that "it is time for a change." The employer, thinking this a rath- er lame excuse for voting against a council that had admittedly done good work, is reported to have continued the discussion by asking the man how long he had; bgen working in the cases where young men dropped out, firm, and was told that it was 10 or discouraged, because they wanted to 12 years. "Well," he said, "I have step up and found the roach blocked no fault to find with your work- by veterans. Indeed, for years, Han - you have been a good and faithful over also went out of the council to employee—but, after What you just get a reeve because the Hien weren't said, I wonder if it isn't time I made in. the council who sought promotion. a change here." Yet we can't help but recall the With this, he walked. away, but he story told. in the opening paragraphs, had hardly reached .the office when We; ttgree with the Chronicle that "there are no super -then — in fact, He (being diplomatic): "I shall miss you terribly when you're away; in fact, I don't quite know what I shall do, but—" She (being noble): "Ohl Very well. won't go." , the worlanan entered, and, in a plead- ing voice, expressed the hope that there may not be very many bright "the boss" wasn't serious in his ref- erence to the desirability of malting a change and dispensing with his services. Assuring the man that he had no such intention, the employer, if "the boss" came along and said. suggested, however, that men should "It's time for a ehange," even if he think the matter over before they glibly state, "It's time for 0 change." The opportunity to quote this story conies to us as we read an editorial a better man is available, but there is something to be said against the catch -words, "It's time for a change." Would. it be fair if sch000l boards dis- missed teachers with good records of two to forty years merely on the excuse that it is time for a• change? tario "who have held office for years There would be industrial warfare if and years and then some more. Is this employers went through their plants good for a municipality? Frankly, and fired old and satisfactory ern - we don't think it is." There is the suggestion that men who enter muni- cipal life have the natural ambition to get to the top, and yet they might run up against men who consider ones." Only a man full of conceit would imagine that nobody could do his work better than he is doing it. Yet we would be greviously offended could find no• fault with our work. Elections generally remove the men who have passed their peak, provided in the Durham Chronicle last week which stated: "It's time for a change" is "often a good slogan." Nor do we entirely disagree with what • our neighboring paper says. Its first ar- gument is that there are men in On- ployees with the excuse that it is time for a change. Why, then, apply to municipal life a principle that would never b e approved i ti other walks of life? CHURCH DIRECTORY THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. E.
