Two mayoralty candidates are definitely in the field and at least two more names are being prominently mentioned. Nobody seems to be taking much interest in the aldermanic contest and that is too bad because one alderman is just about as important as the mayor in directing the serious business of the city. The mayor might be called the front man (or woman) of the city and, in view of that, it is, of course, important that we have a good, capable, personable mayor with executive ability and personality. But the mayor has to answer to his council. That is why it is important there should lie good timber individually in the council which really decides the policy of the city and to considerable extent directs it. ; It is all very well to criticize the city council, talking about what it does or does not do. Some of those who are the loudest in their criticism are, we have noted, those who are the mos"t diffident about getting in there and taking a hand in the work. So it is important that we should have good material not only on the city council but on the very important school board as well as the parks board which also is in a position to do very important work for the city. It is to be hoped that good men will enlist themselves in the conduct of city affairs by offering their candidature. Then when election day comes it is also desirable that there should be a big turn-out of citizens to express their preferences. However, if we do not have some advance enthusiasm as can only be occasioned by good, healthy discussion among the candidates, there is little chance of enthusiasm at the polls. odd itdui to sell for less than the i, uays are me -,..r ers. ineyooni, ' ' "' rate-lor obviously that would i allmit 11 1,1 Phc being ulwvuv.s - - have worked havoc amongst all ""P'111 tllat """'r lau-S1' wm Perhaps what the pmr oul the other dealers Yet we faced ' in lhe pnd- But tl1' Practical (ann wants is to have Its faith w'P'ng out of the CCF from On- fierce, steady competition every : ifl,.,i. .stiatf.ud BeaiVm-iler-clay the turio has been a bad blow The of year u, Socialist defeat in Britain, too,; IT SEEMS to me that there ,. ,a great dLsappointment lo Railwav can now be When you consider the men, vmmem an important difference be- j lne ex.. .said to be getting up si earn for! tween the fixing of a fair sell- One wouldn't think political pii,e George There is a bridge ing price by the manufacture.-, affairs in a distant country and ,a.ruS!i (dttoiiwood Canyon.

We may think our own personal and business affairs demand all our time and attention but we should also remember that, as goes the business of the community, so goes our own business. It is to Vie hoped the next few days will see a lively awakening of interest in civic affairs. Why Peace Delay? j T IS a little difficult to understand, if the cease-i fire line can be settled and tacitly agreed upon as the line of demarcation after the armistice in Korea, why it should be necessary for the hostilities to go on for another 30 days, even if they are on a reduced basis. It seems like going on with the killing and wounding after the most important part of the argument has been settled. If that is one of the formalities of modern warfare, it seems ridiculous. Of course the truce and the armistice may not mean an end to the great idealogical warfare of which Korea is only a small part. But the cold war will never be settled as long as the hot war goes on. out any attempted competition, i There is a vast difference between this form of conspiracy,! and the fixing, by a single manufacturer, of the final retail' price on his own unique prod-j uct.
