EDITOR:—May I have the privilege of asking the following question: What bas happened in our •Council,'. that the Free Press should make the remark that, "the already hectic mumcipal condition in Clinton." Such. a phrase reflects that something is radically wrong. Could it be that certain members of the Council ate being dictated to by certain elements not .elected by the people, and ` even. by some who are not residents cr ratepayers, 1f so, it istime for a change, Our Council is supposed to do the people's business in the Council Chamber without any interference from agitators • or outsiders. If the Council isnot doing its work satisfactorily, the ratepayers have re- ceur•se to the ballot every year. If there is any friction, forget it. Let us have a council that will lead the municipality into good will and co-operation. A few years ago the Council led the people and aroused their interest in local welfare, and care of the needy, there has been, no evidence of this leading lately. We still have those in our midst who -need help, and we have a war to win. By the way, Webster's definition of hectic is "a kind of fever attend- ing consumption." Consumption is "wasting away." Come on, Council start something, the people will sup- port you. —W. S. R. HOLMES. MAYOR K. WATERS ON ONTARIO JUVENILE HOCKEY ASSOCIA- TION.

Talbot, Robert. f Greer'rand John Rata, , A QUESTION FOR THE MANY NOT THE FEW It is, dollars to doughnuts that the municipalities, which are passing up the opportunity to give expression to their views as to the one or two-year term for their municipal councils, will be astonished at their situation a year hence when it comes home to them that one of the last remaining vestiges of democratic government ]las gone by the board through the selfishness of their council of 1940 or their own indifference, or both, Whether or no, they will be deprived of the privilege of giving expression to any view. There will be no municipal election, Worse still — should a vacancy in the ranks of the council occur, it will not be the elec- tors who will fill it. Only by sub- mitting the questron can present councils clear themselves of the pos- sible, indeed probable, thought that they are playing' a selfish gauze. The question is one for the expression of the many, not the few.—Collingswood Bulletin. PORTER'S HILL About 75 attended the euchre party Friday night at the home of Ide. and jure.
