lent. It is recognized that for all these people the cost of living has advanced. Has it not also advanced for the soldier‘s family? The truth is that the soldier‘s family feels the increased cost Oof living perhaps more than any other class. In the first place, the allowances received by the deâ€" pendents of soldiers are so small as to appear inadequate in any case. Added to this the very fact of the head of the family being away seems to add to the cost of living of the ordinary soldier‘s At the present time organized representation is being made to Ottawa to secure the costâ€"ofâ€"living bonus for the dependants of soldiers on active serâ€" vice. As a result of this organized effort The Globe and Mail and other newspapers are impressing on the government the fact that in justice to the soldiers, to the soldiers‘ families and to the counâ€" try itself, the costâ€"ofâ€"living bonus should be exâ€" tended at once to the dependents of soldiers on active service. The Advance has wondered if all the weekly newspapers in the Dominion would join in the chorus, if the resultant call would be so impressive that the government would pay full heed. Or would it? Munition workers, civil serâ€" vants, and all employees in all lines of work have been given the "costâ€"ofâ€"living" bonus or its equivaâ€" There is nothing to be gained by suggesting that this or that candidate was responsible for the election. Certainly it was‘ neither of the candiâ€" dates for mayor. Mayor Brunette made his posiâ€" tion clear last week. Councillor Roberts was equâ€" ally consistent in his attitude. He had been pressed by friends to be a candidate for the mayoralty but insisted that he would not stand if that would cause ian election that was otherwise avoidable. He did not qualify for the mayoralty race until it was certain that there would be an election in any event. It is not fair either to blame any others, no matter when they qualified. The right to have elections is the very essence of demoâ€" cracy, and the present time is one at which this right should be most jealously guarded, without recrimination. Unlike some other elections in the past, there dloes not appear to be any important public issue Several weeks ago The Advance suggested that . wou1d be a good plan to reâ€"elect ‘the present mavyor and council by acclamation for the coming oor. The present mayor and council have served io town efficiently and well, and as reward for «o0d service an acclamation would have been ~asing democratic gesture. In addition to this ~ would have been a saving in time and energy ‘oney in these days when as far as practical well to centre everything on the one great ‘ho war effort.

Four of the present council have qualified for reâ€"election and several of the other candidates have had previous experâ€" ience in municipal affairs and their records are creditable in every way. Those in the running who have no previous experience as councillors have all given public service in one capacity or another, and add to this, business and other experience with keen interest in municipal affairs. It is for this reason that The Advance is certain that Timâ€" mins will have a good administration for its muniâ€" cipal affairs for the coming year.

In such a case there is a danâ€" rer of the election developing into a personal batâ€" le. At any time that would be a matter of regret. ut it would be doubly regrettable at such a time is this. The best plan for ratepayers and candiâ€" lates alike would be to recognize the fact that hey are all pretty good fellows, and let it go at hat., The ratepayers can make it personal in i»ncther and better way by voting for their perâ€" onal preferences in the list before them, selectâ€" those whom they consider will give the best ervice to the town. From the list of qualified ninees it would be practically impossible to pick mavyor and six councillors that will not carry on ‘ affairs of the town ably and well.

At the present time there are newspapers and public men who are finding time to discuss the problems they expect to arise after the war. One political party as a matter of fact is giving more attention to after the war conditions than to the present situation. Of course, it is impossible to deny the importance of the afterâ€"war problems and the need for study and thought now to avoid the chance of being caught as unprepared for peace as the nations were for war. At the same time it should not be forgotten that no amount of planning for afterâ€"theâ€"war will be of any use unless the victory is first in sight, The most wonderful schemes for after the war will be worse than useless if in the meantime the enemy is allowed to triumph. Another needed thought is the fact that if enough consideration is given to the conduct of the war, there will be fewe‘r problems to solve when peace comes. There are some illâ€"considered actions toâ€"day that are hound to make serious problems for the days of peace. One of these is the stupid or malicious way in which small business and industrial concerns are being slaughtered toâ€"day while the chain store type of business is carefully protected. That is going to be a difficulty that will prove costly and serious in the future. Another is the treatment of soldiers and their dependents up to the present. It will be a problem, indeed, to explain to the men who return from overseas why their dependents had difficulty in making ends meet while their men folks were away, while the country had money to spend on short wave radio stations and on other unnecessary and nonâ€"essential affairs.

The Purchasing Committee of the Red iCross met on the evening of November 23rd and carefully reviewed the whole question, and authorized the expenditure of the balance on hand for clothing.
