Time To Speak Out
In a little over two weeks the people
of the surrounding municipalities will be
called upon to make important decisions
on a public matter which will seriously
affect the tenor of their lives for the next
twelve months. Municipal nominations
and elections will pose the perennial pro-
blem of representation on councils and
public boards,
Until recent years it was the universal
custom of councillors, reeves and mayors
to make a public saternent, well in advance
of nomination day, about their intentions
to seek office for another term. It is a
custom which has largely died out, to the
detriment, we feel, of the democratic struc-
ture under which we live.
We are all too familiar with the sort
of nomination meeting which has become
commonplace of Iate, the gathering where
there is a last-minute hustling about and a
series of whispered conversations as the
minutes of the nomination hour tick by.
The reeve, who really didn't intend to
stand for office again has found that pos-
sibly he won't be opposed, so he is mak-
ing up his mind to stay on without opposi-
tion. Four of the councillors were ready
to quit but the fifth has just slipped up to
tell them that if they do, Joe Blow, from
across the tracks may get in by acclama-
tion, and that would never do.
All this time the citizens of the mun-
icipality have not the faintest idea what is
going on, and the first thing they know the
time for nominations is over and the new
council is eelcted because severeal good
men sat back waiting for nominations that
were never made.
If a pian has the courage and spirit to
serve his community on council through-
out the year it is his obvious obligation to
to declare his intentions well before nom-
ination day, so that other trustworthy no-
minees may be considered by the electors
and induced to run for office. The very
best of candidates are usually the type of
people who cannot be talked into standing
for public duty on the spur of the moment.
They are much more likely to be those men
who want an opportunity to think over the
responsibilities of the office they are ur-
ged to seek. Last-minute nominations all
too often result in the selection of those
who are swayed by the mere fact that they
are surprised into acceptance.
Not only have our present office -hold-
ers a clear obligation to declare their in-
tentions, but there is an equal obligation
for those who have not held public office
to accept these posts at the proper time.
Itis A Woman's World
Every time we attend a wedding, we
have the truth of this cliche focibly brought
home to us. The bride, bless her, gets all
the attention before the ceremony, the
groom, unobtrusively slips into his place at
the altar. But when the bride appears at
the rear of the church, the organ peals out
a salute. A picture in her bridal gown,
with slow and stately step she makes her
way to the chancel rail, every eye upon her,
while the guests whisper "Doesn't she make
a lovely bride?"
When the first and each succeeding
child is born, the only time Dad is noticed
is when he hands out the cigars. But Moth-
er is showered with sympathy and smoth-
ered in kindness.
This situation continues throughout
the year of marriage until the approach of
.the golden wedding. Did you ever notice
then how Father becomes the central fig-
ure of interest and gets the lion's share of
attention? Well, it's an acknowledged
phenamenon. Actually, it's easily explain-
ed too.. It may have taken half a century to
prove, but everyone realizes that any man
who has lived with the same woman for 50
years deserves recognition for the feat! —
(Morden Tithes).
How To Bowl Fve p ns
4 ,,,,_,.....„,p....?
\._./\__,,,....,
More Tips About Approach
Though 90 percent of bowl-
ers use the standard three-tep
or four -step approaches, there
are bowlers who feel more
comfortable using some other,
less orthodox number of steps.
Some energetic bowlers us a
5 -step approach --- sometimes
called .the run.' because it looks
more like something you should
see at a track and field event
rather than in a recreation cen•
tre. Still, some championship
bowlers use the run.
5 -Step Approach
For the 5 -step approach, you
must stand a good deal farther
than usual behind the foul line.
In fact, some bowlers stand
right on the rubber mat at the
end of the runway, so they get
extra traction on the first step.
This gives them a full 6 feet
to hurdle down the runway be-
fore they deliver the hall.
There are two ways to carry
out a 5 -step appeoach.
The first is to carry the ball
in normal starting pos"?iprt for
She first two steps, and start the
-pushaway on the third step, Bas-
-ically, this is the same as a 3 -
,step approach, except for a 2 -
step run to begin with.
Second 'way is to start the
pushawey ;as you step off. This
utu mast extend Your
backswing for an extra two
steps. Your aria'? le thus ear-
ried farther back and swings )
down harder, giving a very fast
and powerful delivery -- often
too powerful for proper control.
If you are using a 5 -step ap-
proach already, but find your
swing doesn't "feel right," chan-
ging the number of steps is the
first experiement you should
try, If you do try to change,
it is better to drop right down
By Bert Garside and Jim Hoult
Chief Bowling Instructors

Advisory Council
I to a 3 -step approach, which is
likely to fit your natural rythm
better than the 4 -step.
Two -Step Approach
j A 2 -step approach is used by
very few bowlers, and recom-
mended by none. But, if you
insist, this is the sequence for
right-handed bowlers (reverse.
if you are left-handed):
1. Right foot forward; com-
bined with pushaway and back -
swing.
2. Left foot forward; deliver
the ball with a very small slide.
One -Step Approach
The one-step approach is us-
ed by women, and quite fre-
quently by older people or bowl-
ers who are physically handi-
capped. The pushaway starts
from a standing position. The
right foot steps forward on the
downswing and the ball is de-
livered without the bowler at-
tempting to make any slide with.
his feet at all.
The main thing that is im-
portant about a good approach
zn bowling is not the 'number
of steps you take It is whether
you calf co-ordinate the move-
ment of your arm and lees into
a natural rhythm So, though
90 percent of bowlers may pre-
fer either the 3 -step or the 4 -
step approach, described in the
last column, use the number of
steps that feels most natural to
you .

SUGAR
and
SPICE
By Bill Smiley
By the time this appears in
print, the battle over the ob-
servance of Remembrance Day,
November 11, will be over in
most centres. It's an annual
fracas, which generates a good
deal of heat, and, on occasion,
some bitterness.
On one side is the Legion,.
one of whose aims is to keep
alive the memory that a good-
ly number of fathers and sons,
uncles and brothers, had their
lives torn from them, prema-
turely and painfully, in two
world wars that have disgraced
the twentieth century. The Le-
gion urges that the day be de-
clared a full holiday in every
community, and that it be fit-
tingly observed.
Ranged on the other side
are the merchants and manu-
facturers, some of whom re-
sent the loss of profit or pro-
duction that is involved. Lots
of them are veterans themesiv-
es. They claim, and with some
justice, that it's not a day of
remembrance any more, but
merely a holiday. They wonder
aloud why they should pay wag-
es to a fellow who will simply
take the opportunity to hunt-
ing or sit in the pub all day.
'r :k N:
And right in the middle is
the Canadian Government. In
deference to the big pressure
from the Legion, the govern-
ment closes its own offices on
November 11. But in deferen-
ce to the even bigger potential
howl from industry, the Gov-
ernment does not declare the
day a national holiday, and
makes little attempt to encour-
age it as such.
What about that ubiquitous
creature, the man in the street?
Where does he stand? I'm not
sure, but I have a pretty good
idea he feels about this question
just as he does about most oth-
ers: he couldn't care less.
Of course, if it were put to
a national vote, he'd vote for
the holiday. I hate to admit
it, but I'm afraid that fellow
would vote for a paid holiday
if someone suggested one in
memory of Henry the Eighth.
John A. MacDonald or Good
King Wencelas.
I have an idea for November
11. Let's make it a full holiday.
And lets make it a real day of
national mourning and remem-
brance. Let's turn off all hyd-
ro. Let's make any kind of
heat or light against the law
for 24 hours. Let's close all
places of entertainment. Let's
forbid travel. Then, in the cold
and dark and the boredom, we'd
suffer perhaps one one-hund-
redth of what the fellows in the
trenches went through, back in
that big war that ended 43 years
ago.
Perhaps the reason the Gov-
ernment plays it cagey is be-
cause it is obvious that in 20
years there won't be many
World War I veterans left, and
in 30 years they'll be virtually
extinit. I find that a depress-
ing thought in more ways than
one.
Personally, I hate to miss the
annual parade to the Cenotaph.
At our school, we have an im-
pressive remembrance cerem-
ony.
We always formed up at the
Legion Hall, with a great bust-
ling among the color party and
the parade -master. The Scouts
and Guides would tag on the
end to swell our meagre ranks.
To the inevitable strains of Col-
onel Bogey, we swung smartly
down the main street. Stern
and straight we marched, look-
ing neither to left nor right, ex-
ceptto nod at friends or grin
at our kids or wave to our wiv-
es.
When we halted at the
Cenotaph, there would be a
big crowd — maybe 40 or 50—
gathered there. Everybody
would be looking pretty seri-
ous. It was always cold. The
Mayor read the names of the
