the vacancy in the posi tion of a township clerkship was the signal for a big fight as to who would get the position good- men wetre plentiful and the trouble arose as to which of the many applicants should have the job men of solid standing capable and honest from all parts of the municipality were ready to take on the work of the township clerkship the pay was small but the honor was great what a contrast to the sltuatlos that prevails today in the township of whitchurch for some mouths theduty of appointing a permanent clerk has been set aside and al though it is pretty well known throughout the township that a per manent appointment may be decided on at any timo there has not been more than two men to make it known that they would like the position mr hugh clark acting clerk since the death of ins father is performing the duties and is open for a permanent appointment also councillor wm crawford intimated at the last council meeting that he was an applicant for the position but what of the dozens of other capable men in whitchurch why do they not apply the total revenue including pick ings that a man may derive from the jolb is around 1200 per annum and therein probably lies the whole trouble the pay is not commen surate for the work involved un like the old days the honor does not count for much any more a man today is worthy of ihis hire and there are not many men willing to take on a contract worth probably 1500 for the sum of 1100 or 1200 if the township of whit church made it known that they would pay more salary to the right man and called for applicants for the position we venture to state that there would be more names in th hat to choose from the two men they now have to pick between may be good men and capable but the object of this

says turning from the city news papers to the small town press ex changes that come to our desk is stepping from the slums full of vile into an old- fashioned garden sweet with lavender and thyme and the scent of perennial flowers the pages of the big dallies are so full of murder thievery immorality and selfishness that the better news is obscured iby these glaring shatter- ings of the decalogue one puts the papers aside with a feeding of depres sion and heartache that the world is so full of terrible and unhappy things then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the little cities one gains renewed faith in life there is set forth only that which uplifts a community the act ivities of tle business men the church news the civic good accom plished by the jvomen school
