The age worn argurnent, "should the
tOwn fathers receive some remuner-
ation for the ,Serviee they render" has
been di$cussed in many weekly papers
tecently. One town decided to pay
their elected representatives and then
the councillors donated this money to
n Worthy cause, They practically admit
that they did not need, deserve it, or
something. It has, een the practise for
townships to give a fee, but in most
small towns this is not the ease. Men.
Who serve on the council board give a
great deal of their time to municipal
affairs, They also are called upon as
councillors for many contributions
that they would not otherwise. They
." do all this for the fun of the thing or
from a sense of duty, They get little
praise and plenty of knocks, We are
of the opinion that they should re-
ceive some remuneration for their ef-
forts, not a large amount but sufficient
so that they would not be out of
pocket on the deal. It seems to us
that it would be a more democratic
way of ,doings things,

ST. LAWRENCE
WATERWAY SCHEME
The St, Lawrence Waterway and
Power Development scheme is much
to the fore these days, Col, George
Drew. premier of Ontario, is the latest
to join the cry for getting this scheme
under way at an early a date as pos-
sible, This project will develop much
'electrical power which may be used for
industrial development. One of the
greatest considerations for use of this
power should be hydro in every farm
botne. Another thing that should re-
ceive much thought before the develop-
ment is started is the supplying power
to all parts of Ontario at the same
rate. By this means industrial de-
velopffient will not be so greatly
centralized but will spread throughout
the province. In this way all parts
of the province would benefit and our
industries would not be so closely
grouped as they otherwise would be
and thus would be less vulnerable to
air attack in case of another war or
other calamity such as earthquake or
fire. Another thing in favour of hav-
ing industry scattered throughout the
province is the better living conditions
offered by smaller centres.
