1EMOCRACY AT WORK
It isn't necessary to go to the larg-
*r centres to see democracy working
at its best—where the citizens as a
whole respect and take advantage of
the privilege that is inherent in the
free ballot.
In Dublin on. Monday there was An
lection for village trustees. On the
voters' list were 140 names, and of
these 135 voted. Those that didn't
;vote were accounted for—they were
;sick or away.
There is an increasing tendency,
particularly in municipal elections,
for citizens to look upon voting as
being too much trouble and as some-
thing that can be left to the other fel-
low. And the result frequently is that
pnly about half those eligible to vote
vast ballots.
It's good to see the example that
our neighbors to the east have set.
WHICH IS THE BEST?
The Royal Winter Fair provides a
perfect forum for the discussion of
the merits of various breeds of dairy
cattle, reports Toronto Saturday
Night as it describes the conversa-
tion between two farmers.
"There's nothing like a Jersey,"
one said. "She's ,got looks, a good
figure, a sweet disposition and the
finest milk in the world. Look at .
those Holsteins of yours, big stupid
lumps of black and white, then look
at those Jerseys of mine. No com-
parison." The. Holstein man stared
at him with loathing. "I've got one
answer for you," he said. "It isn't
new, because I heard it first in Wood-
stock years ago: a Jersey's too small
for a cow and too big for a goat."
APRIL IN DECEMBER
Here it is almost Christmas and
still no sign of December snow which
usually totals three inches by this
time.
According to the weatherman,
there's no sign of a break in the freak
Indian summer weather and the av-
erage temperature so far this month
is 35, some four degrees above nor-
mal.
The summer-like weather isn't lim-
ited to Canada. In England, flower
markets are flooded by unseasonal
growth. Dry weather has lowered
the level of the Rhine river, cutting
barge traffic. Winter resort promot-
ers are gloomy and tailors report a
sharp drop in demand for winter
clothing. In Belgium and Holland,
thick fog has paralyzed shipping and
central and southern France are
threatened by flood.
Right here at home Miss Florence
Beattie picked violets at her home a
few days ago, and at the same time
Mrs. Ross Murdie found tulips in her
garden in full bloom. Not to be out-
done, the lowly dandelion, too, has
extended its season. Dandelions
were seen by William Dolmage and
J. W. Crich.
While the April -like weather is
nice, it doesn't seem like Christmas.
Some snow — but not too much—
would help.
