manufacturers of automobiles emphasizing speed as a selling point in their cars in view of the campaign for highway safety with the speed limit fixed at 35 miles per hour why should manufacturers and

most poten tially dangerous m are we getting more out of life because of the more we have to spend including the higher rate at which we live if we have a motor and can do more business over a wider area are we using the time we then save to get more out of life if those of middle life would take a reflective look over life we would be surprised at the number of things then reckoned luxuries we now reckon as necessaries does that mean any real advance in culture or true civilization are we or others the better of rapid transport or real ly getting more out of life for our selves and others is the development of life and our means of rapid transit a twin evolu tion of course the auto will be put to a misuse by those who use it only for selfindulgence but are we on the whole really getting the worth of our money out of it if not we shall do well to ask ourselves how we can and to set ourselves to do so township clerks have a big job one of the most imporant and ex acting positions in a rural commun ity nowdays is that of the township clerk the fact that life is more complex today than it was a few- years ago affects municipalities just as it does individuals the farmer who used to flounder around in a de mocrat and burn candles now driv es a car on good townsnlp roads and has hydro all this spells township road superintendents hydro bylaws drainage bylaws reports to the high ways dept the filling out of qucs- tionaires for government depts in addition to the oldtime duties of the clerk the clerk has to be guide counsellor and friend to green coun cillors and reeve and in order to do so he must have a knowledge of law bookkeeping mathematic toge ther with the wisdom of solomon if he does not keep his eye on the constant changes in the statute books his council gets tangled in legal difficulties and he will likely get the bame for instance in iso an act was passed repealing the au thority of the council head to name one of the municipal auditors in a municipality not a hundred miles away front here the head of the council went on naming an auditor the same as before for over twenty years before the error was discover ed to measure up fully to the require ments of his job it will be seen that a township clerk should be a man of somewhat unusual attainments and as a matter of fact he usually is some of the clerks who have served and are serving in this dis trict are real pillars in the municipal structure they serve for small sal aries far too small in many cases the importance of their position should be recognized and more gen erally appreciated by the township councils and by the ratepayers st marys journal argus promotion exams the bank of commerce has taken over the standard bank of canada of which there is a branch in stouf- ville the rank and tile ui he peo ple are opposed to bank mergers on the ground that when the business of the country solves itself down to a few institutions of this sort they will squeeze iho public iinduy there may be something in the argument there is probably more in it than in the reason handed out by the directorate of the two banks as an excuse for the merger namely that the standard bank had no for eign connections or branches outside ontario of any account if the stand ard bank grew to its present strong position without such outside branch es and connections why should it need them now ontario is growing and the held for a purely local bank as they style themselves should grow- also a glance over the list of share holders of the standard bank will show one big reason for a merger of this kind persons holding hundreds of shares stand to win thousands of dollars through the advance of standard stock locally of course there wiil be no change at this branch on the first of
