The stdry is hammered home with pamphlets, posters, radio broadcast lunchtime , emergency.

There was much talk at Margate about wages and prices but Civic Elections nniXCK RUPERT civic voters in yesterday's municipal election indicated that they are not so keen for organized slates. The striking victories of Ex-Mayor H. M. Daggett and Aid. G. B. Casey in the two-year and one-year aldermanic contests epeetivelv showed this. Neither Daggett or Casey jiail the official hacking of either Non-Partisan or ."CU'ic Labor Federation. Both, undoubtedly, re-iCived support from both sides, support the full measure of which they might not have received had they been officially tied up to either. Mr. Daggett might possibly have had the backing of either .2C.P. A. or C.L.F. but, instead, he went it alone and pit;aded the poll by a substantial margin. Stormy petrel of last years council and most publicized al-derman of 1948, George Casey can probably count ,his success to the fact that, rightly or wrongly, he kept things stirred up and the people knew he was a fighter. It was a severe blow for the Civic Labor Federa- . tion to be unable to elect a single candidate although it presented full slates for all the offices. Some people may say that organized labor does not have - 4he hold on this community it once had. !'!' It was fitting and proper that the three members of the school board who offered themselves for .... re-election should have been accorded it. They were in the middle of an important job and had demonstrated their competence. There would have been no good reason for turning them out. The voters were in a generous mood in their approval of the plebiscites on the big telephone project ,. and parks development. They indicated that they "'recognized the need for improvements in the city, and are willing to pay for it. The chlorination issue was settled once and for all with a decided affirmative vote. . Taking it by and large, the voters did a good job in their selections. The winners are to be congratulated and the losers can take comfort from the fact that they offered themselves as good citizens and can now st,ay home with clear consciences. the same as when si streetcar.
