We Would like to have met him last Thursday. Post remarks that the people will have to decide whether it is better to vote for the men who have given good service on “support candidates of a government which will be ancient history by next July and some of the lads now moving heaven and earth to elect a purely partisan slate will be looking for jobs." The election results show that the people took the advice of the “Post” in preference to the Mai, the Telegram or political Severely condemning the introduc- tion of party politics into the Scar. boro municipal elections and the act;- ion in this regard by Toronto papers and political leaflers the Scarboro New Year resolutions are the order 3f the day. And now don’t forget to write it 1934. machine A noted organist was invited to play in a church in Toronto. Arriv- ing there, he paused to read the sign, which said: “Subject for this Sunday You Know What Hell Is? and hear our new organist.” Describing conditions in York Coun ty to-day The York County Post says “Children are being born and reach childhood and adolescence with a “pogey” outlook. Men and Women by the thousand are suffering the in- hibitions of the dependency of desti- tution. .Even where jobs of a. kind are still enoyed the life of families has been restricted to a meagre mar- gin." In the face of these conditions the Bennett government has been busy restoring the conferring of titles in Canada. We submit that the restoring of the right of every man and woman to a decent Canadian citizenship is of much more concern to the Canadian people than the ques- tion of titles. The largest room in the world is the room for improvement. The optimist sees the opportunity in the difficulty. The pessirfiist sees the \iifficulty in the opportunity. In Aurora municipal elections for- mer deputy-reeve Bert Knowles de- feated former reeve Thomas Legge by a substantial majority. In New- market former reeve Dr. L. W. Dales went down to defeat to former reeve Fred Lundy who had a majority of 354. Former reeve H. W. Sanders defeated W. E. Morden, Stouffville's 1933 reeve, by a majority of 36 votes. In New Toronto reeve W. E. McDon. ald, one of the prominent members of County Council, was re-elected with a substantial majority. In Scarboro reeve T. H. Sanders was returned with a majority of 1264 over G. C. Tyrell. Tyrell had the strong en- dorsation of the Toronto Telegram and the Mail and Empire and accord- ing to the York Qounty Post was sup- ported by the “political machine.” However, it would appear the old political machine is not running as smoothly as it used to as Tyrell was not even a close contender. Once upon a time there was a man who went through life saying fishing was no good because he threw a baited hook into the water one time and a fish didn’t take hold at once;- so he quit trying. His twin brother is the man who says advertising- is no good because he put 'an advertise- ment in once and it didn’t make him richâ€"so he quit trying. The man who wants fish or business has to keep on trying.â€"â€"Shelboume Free Press. Many years will go by before all our main highways and all our count- trjz roads have been freed from grade crossings. Nevertheless, we have reason to hope that these death-traps will disappear some day. And if this day ever dawns it will undoubtedly be the commencement of the millen- ium for the motorists. The decisive majorities given reeve George Padget and deputy-reeve W. L. Clark were two outstanding fea- tures of the 1933 County municipal elections. The more you boost your community he better community you will have. Reeve Herman Kidd and the'entire ouncil, of Whitchurch were elected >y acclamation for the coming year. Let’s get going- now.

Fro mthe Peru, (Indiana), Repub- lican: Standing on a corner, not meaning to do any harm to any one, the editor of the Republican was agreeably surprised when the Rev. C. F. Golden, of Denver, jumped out of his automobile and thrUst the price of a year’s subscription into the pub- lisher’s hands, and before the money was put away, Carl Fisher, the school truck driver and auctioneer of Mex- ico, came across the street, and he, too, paid a year’s subscription. To hundreds of others let us say that we will be on the same corner at five o’clock toâ€"night. But aren’t we si‘Iy fr. keep yipping about “individualism’ and “survival of the fittest” in a world where, if {properly distributed, there is plenty of everything for everybody? Twentyâ€"five years have {Sassed since the great boon of rural free mail delivery was first given to the farmers of this country.

The official record of rural free mail delivery in Canada is given as follows: “A system of rural mail de- livery was inaugurated in Canada on October 10, 1908, limited at that time to existing stage routes, persons re- siding on such routes being entitledi to have mail boxes put up in Which‘ the mail carrier was to deposit maili matter, and from which he was to collect mail matter and carry it to the post office."
