But If it's false alarm and a man Is useless as he approaches early prime and a kid , persists in taking all kinds of; liberties with his growth and development so what? , Winter and all its works may be said to have descended on ihis fair shore! Likewise, pales nncl ruin. Tempests test everything in the shape of buildings and shipping. Season of storms, weeping skies, frost and fogs and downright rudeness. It is tinielv to inquire, with the very its east, HERE ARE JFOVR RECENT $1,000 WNNERJ iu $50,000 ROBIN HOOD CONTEST PLEBISCITE, NOT BYLAW MAJOR LsSUE in tomorrow's civic balot-ting A will he the telephone prebiscite, on which all city voters will be asked to express an opinion. As the Daily News has on more than one occasion pionted out, this is not a money bylaw, nor a mandate for the city to go ahead to raise $550,000 which council proposes. It is only to determine popular opinion on this important question, whether or not the city council wiji have the people's, support in the projected plan. Voters will not le authorizing the city council to borrow $550,000 for telephone rehabilitation. They could not if they wished because the matter must first ,be approved by the provincial Department of Municipal Affairs and so far, this has not been done. However, the majority may have some influence' on whether or not the provincial government will allow such a project to lie begun at a later date. If the majority vote in favor of the telephone proposal at tomorrow's plebiscite and if the plan is approved bv the provincial government, a myiey bylaw will be p repaired and presented to the ratepayersnot the voters in general at a Liter date. But tomorrow, all the voters will have the opportunity to express an opinion on this question: "Shall the citv borrow approximately S550,0W for the purpose of rehabilitating the City of Prince Ru pert telephone system?" It is an important question and one which should receive the careful consideration of every citizen.

Citizens will TOMORROW jro to the polls to choose boards of men and women who will direct policy of the municipality one of the largest and most ramified local businesses. We have often in the past urged the importance of all the citizens and the voters taking an active interest in city affairs and exercising- the prerogative and fulli'iling the duty of voting- so we do so again, vtt'. There is a gqcxMy body of citizens offering; their services. Since .$here are no great issues at stake and it is only a rViatter of choosing those best fitted to serve, it would be presumptuous for use to even suggest selectiuns: Speaking generally, the candidates are well Jsjjown and the voters can decide for themselves who of them are best qualified to do the job: individual qualifications of fittedness we . should say would lie the yardstick of choice. - There is no lack of new material for the four two-year seats on the city council. Of the nine aspirants only two have had previous experience on the aldermanic board. There is also a long- spread from the age standpoint. The voters should have no difficulty in sekt-ting good men from the field. Two doughty veterans of council service dominate the contest for the one-year vacancy which appears to occupy the limelight as far as eonten-tention is concerned. In the school board contest three retiring- trustees have offered themselves for re-election. We can go so far as saying, without any expression of favoritism, we believe, that the three retiring trustees have done good and competent work and it has been g-ood fortune of the city to have had their services. Whether there is any advantage to be gained by replacing them by three other undoubtedly good candidates is again for the electors to decide.' ". " ' . t .

There.is, undoubtedly, difference fef opinion,' jjarficulaj-l.qn the tele-i phone matter. Parks- policy and chlorination are ; the subject of the other two plebiscites.
