The Advance has always held that municipal government is the very essence of democracy and that all the rights and privileges of civic life should be guarded with the most jealous care. Every effort to encroach on these rights should be apposed to the limit, One of the basic rights, of course, is that of election. The present offers opportunity to many municipalities to show that they are worthy of this right, While the election right is a fundaâ€" mental one, this does not lessen the right to elecâ€" tion by acclamation. To give an election by acclaâ€" mation when this is both deserved and expedient would be a proof of genuine democracy, At the present time, with the innumerable demands ofi the war, it would seem that every municipality that‘can honestly do so should save the cost and turmoil and interference with the war effort by having its municipal election by acclamation. Timâ€" mins is a case in point. There is no municipal election issue here this year. The present mayor and council have given exceptionally good service under very trying conditions. They have done their part quietly and without fuss or selfâ€"adverâ€" tisement, but in most efficient manner. The town is in excellent financial condition. All the muniâ€" cipal services are operating with unusual efficienâ€" cy, There have been only minor matters for criâ€" ticism. The mayor and councillors by their devoâ€" tion to the interests of the town and people have won the honour of an acclamation. An election contest can serve no useful purpose. There is no need or cause for one. Personal ambition or minor disagreements should not be allowed to waste effort and cause distraction from the serious main interest of al} loyal people toâ€"dayâ€"the winning of the war. The people in general have neither the time, the money nor the interest for any sort an election this year, except an election by acclaâ€" mation that will prevent bickerings and strife. The mayor and council have shown leadership as well as efficiency and it would appear to be to the general advantage if they were officially asked by an acclamation to carry on for another term while the people in general thus are left free to conâ€" tinue to devote their effort and energies to the vital needs of the hour. | | | | | History has credited Great Britain with being a generous foe. It would be well for all to rememâ€" ber that Britain is also a most generous ally. Last week when the news was given out in regard to the successful surprise attack in North Africa, Premier Winston Churchill passed all the credit to the United States and the Dominions. The United States with the equal generosity of a real Ally, gave the full credit to Great Britain. President Rooseâ€" velt and Premier Churchill thus showed the spirit that makes alliance successful and real. Although neither Premier Churchill nor Presiâ€" dent Roosevelt have shown any irritation at the continued and boisterous cries for a second front to aid another of the allied nations, they would be less than human if the organized agitation did not i Ji1V uiit UuUuUUoUl 5 1CY Was UIdL a@lly who had a rupture and could wear a ‘truss upside down for ten years must certainly have a wonde1-, ful physique. i | There is reason to believe that Canada has little irk them.

It is not a pleasant thing to bear, howâ€" ever, and it is neither fair nor accurate.

There is another cause for anxiety, howâ€" ever, that appears to be much more reason for worry.

To suggest, as some have done, that without Russia‘s help, the Allied cause would have been lost is to overiook the other factors in the case. It is a fact that without the direct aid of Britain and the United States Russia would not have been able to put up the remarkable resistance that has been offered to the Nazi gangsters.

One of them visited the medical examiner and returned with the reâ€" port that he had been given Category E., and so was exempt from military service. "How did you manage it?" his friend asked. "Easy enough," reâ€" plied the other. "I simply wore a truss and when the doctor saw that he askec} me how long I had worn it. I told him seven years, and he grunted and marked me in Category E." The second fellow thought he would use the same plan. When the medical examiner looked him over he found a couâ€"~ ple of minor defects, but when he came to the truss, the doctor showed very keen interest. "Sufâ€" fering from hernia!" he asked. "How long have you worn that truss?" the doctor asked. "Ten years was the response!" The doctor at once marked him as Category Al, and when the fellow protested, the doctor‘s reply was that any man who had a rupture and could wear a ‘truss upside down for ten years must certainly have a wonderâ€" In mentioning the generous assistance of Great Britain and the United States, it should not be overlooked that there was very vital assistance given Russia in the way of medical supplies. In this Canada played a very generous part. An inâ€" teresting‘sidelight on the question is given by the recent announcement in one of the United States newspapers where it was noted with some surprise, and equal pleasure that even the "Bundles for Briâ€" tain"‘ so badly needed in the Old Land, were passed along to Russia, because of the spirit that typifies generous allies, And in the recounting of all this in the British House of Commons, with the claâ€" mour for a second front, still making it difficult to hear anything else, the nearest approach to either retort or boast, were the mild words of the Underâ€"Becretary for Foreign Affairs:â€"‘"There is really very little need for us to feel humiliated about what we have done for Russia." | There is reason to believe that Canada has little to worry about in regard to those thus seeking to evade military service.
