'NEW :BOARDS . TAKE . OFFICE
The ,New 'Year brings ,in its wake, a -
series of ' inaugural meetings by. ' which
• council and school boards 'officially. assume
.the duties of their office.
For' some it will be a new experience.
For others, the continuance ',of municipall',
service. Election- to office ,in this district •
this year took; ::various forms spirited
balloting, acclamations which indicated
satisfaction 'and. .a, secondnomination which.
pointed t �indifference.
Fortun'ate is 'the municipality
municipality „ that has
citizens willing and qualified to devote
their tune 'and. ability to, municipal ,and
• school administration. It may at, times seem
a thankless . job, for ,we are prone to criti-
cize rather than ;to applaud;., :generally
speaking, however, the 'public recognizes a .•:
job•` well . done, but too often this yecogni
tion is left until `the -time when public ser-
vants decide. they have- ';'.had enough."
Nomination time affords the time &
place for Abe bouquets or the "brickbats"
in the 'form of constructive criticism. if it is
deemed merited.
Too' "often' the attendance at a no/ri
*nation meeting is determined , by whether
•
'or not there may ,be, ,"fireworks."" Thisiys
not right. Every ratepayer should be vital-
ly interested in the affairs' of .'the.. munici-
pality and this 'interest evidenced' by. at-
tendance
at such meetings:
If ;you think your :elected officials are
doing a good jObi tell them soIf. you
don't, tell them •so also, :but . not by a be
hind -the -back attack. No'one ..is 'infallible
So' far as Lucknow is concerned', : this
village exPerienc,eda, progressive program
of. municipal 'improvements during the past,
year, with ' no hardship to the ' taxpayer.:
Predictions are ,that this '•progressiveiess
will continue within financial reason. May
we all as citizens ,adopt;: with pride- in our
hometown this spirit . of 'the _ "foreward
look.
A MIRROR OF ''THE COMMUNITY
A newspaPeris.-the mirrorof the com-
munity it serves.. It reflects.. the good and,;
attimes,- the bad In short, it can. only,
report the news, it cannot create news.
Because this is true, some of the same
names and a' ear : repeatedly in its

the people who are the ones, who' lead and
aT theworkers in the many ,organizations
in the community,, Often they Are active
