SEAFORTH, ONTARIO,"6OCTOBER 29, 1964 It's Thne To ' Think About .Elections In a recent issue a correspondent, • long interested in municipal matters, drew attention, in a letter, to the ap- proaching municipal nominations and the necessity of ensuring that interest- ed citizens are available as candidates for the various .offices. It was good advice, particularly when we recall the difficulty that existed a year ago in completing the Seaforth council. While there has been no formal indi- cation as to the intentions of present is members of council and boards, it has +.. been rumoured that in several instances members may wish to retire. If this is the case, new members will be requir- ed. Every citizen has a responsibility to consider the type.. of person he would ...._.r�..,_, wish to - represent him in town affairs and take steps to ensure -that. the per- son he prefers is nominated and encour-, aged'to accept an office.. It is ,most un- fair, both to the individual and to the municipality, to take no action until - moments before the deadline for the close .of nominations. And when this ca The Early Bird During recentweeks in an effort to - meet tighter mailing schedules impos- ed by the Post Office, we have asked the co-operation of our correspondents and advertisers so that their copy may be in our hands as early'as possible.., Cer- tainly. the co-operation which has been extended has gone a long way in mak- ing it possible to meet new deadlines. But the problerns are not peculiar to us: Weeklies across the province are facing similar situations, as is indicat- ed by these typical comments in the Acton Free Press : The early bird gets the worm and gets the news space. Every newspaper has the problem of allotting editorial space. Compounding the problem is: the Iocal preponderance of organized activities searching for some of that space. In recent weeks we have been forced to restrict some of .these activities from photo coverage and - the printed word coverage because they got here too late. Production flow in this newspaper 'requires that the pages be completed on a regular schedule, preparation for which starts on the Thursday of the hurdle has been overcome, it is equally unfair to pressure a hesitant nominee into qualifying, again just moments be- fore the deadline. We realize that there are many fac- tors which result in qualified candidates hesitating to accept a nomination for office. Chief of these is the unwarrant- ed criticism to which members- of council are too often subjected, an this is something about which every citizen can be helpful. No member of a coun- cil or board should be subjected to carp- ing criticism. While there can be many heartaches and trials and tribulations during a term of office, at the same time the experience of serving •the •community can be most awarding; There can be a particular satisfaction in;l,seeipg long considered plans being bnonght to re- alization, and in a growing and finan- cially. sound'municipality. It takes time • arid only those who have beers' involved can appreciate how much, but the time spent can well be a valuable investment in a better community. It is an invest- ment which every qualified ratepayer has a responsibility -CO make. Gets The Space week before publication and continues until the final pages are printed. We are constantly in need of good local news for the first pages in pro- duction. Yet, ,when the last pages are being completed we have far more lo- cal news than space. The result, is that quite often it is necessary to leave out of that issue good local news and pic- tures. Committee chairmen, publicity chair ---4 en and correspondents could assist us materially in eliminating this shortage of local news for our early runs by get- ting us the reports of their activities early in the week. By doing this, news articles would be assured publication in the current week.
