Tn addition each ticket carries the n~me of candidate for treasurer and the names of three candidates for Yillage trustees. The iss ues are much the same-no flats. control of utilities. paving and repaving of .streets. economy of administration. The main issue seen{s to he expressed in the question, "Shall Earl E.

Even if an office ts Be Expected? unremunerative, each citizen has a right to expert some things of an office holder. He may justly expect that the president and trustees of his Yillage will run civic affairs as well as a good business is run. ~Iaterials will be bought as at lo"· a price as possible consistent with good quality. Clerks, janitors. etc., will be required to give efficient service and will be paid fair wages. Streets and alleys will be kept up to the standard demanded by traffic. The citizens may also rightly expect that the officials will be persistently Jiligent in the discharge of their duties. There ma)' be son~e unpaid officials-we never have known of any such in north c;;hore townswho feel that they may slight work on the gr.o und that they receive no compensation. Such a feeling indicates a fundamentally wrong attitude. It might also be said in closing that those who are elected have a right to expect that their fellow citizens will give them friendly encouragetnent and criticism. ··-~-0-------------· Chanson d'Avril April's eyes are full of sorrow For she weeps today. But her mood may change tomorrow. To a smile all gay. There's a tear in all her laughter And her eyes are dim . But the sunshine follows after This dark mood she's in. Down her cheeks the tears are streaming. Is she really sad? Oh ~ I think I must be dreaming . Now she seems so glad . Tear:; of sorrow gently flowing Eas~ the heart of pain, And they start the spirit growing Toward the sun again. April's eyes again arc smiling, \Vhen hu tears are past. \ \ 7 ould this mood so all beguiling Could forever last . - SARAH SILV ER. SHORE LINES Telephone ..........·.··......... . ....·..

The old glad hymn of John of Dama~cns. pnt into English by Dr. ~eale, expresses rapturously the joy of the Christian in re c a II in g the resurrection of Chri~t and in dwelling on the Easter tremendous meaning- of that wonderful eyent. In the hymn is sounded the triumph of the risen Lord over sin and death. There is also emphasized the exultant conviction that Christ overcame death not only for himself hut for all believers foreyennore; that the sting of death and the victory of the graYe were hy l-Jis resurrection rendered powerless until the end of the world.
