FEB. 13. 195: The civic contest As His Worship Mayor Stewart and Councillor Gormley, Ward One, have been rc-elected by acclamation, today's civic con- tests will be confined to Wards Two, Three, Four and Five and to the election of Water Commissioners. Coun. O'Donnell is being opposed in Ward Two by former Councillor M. Alban Farmer; Coun. Beaton in Ward Three by Mr. Frank J. Storey; Couns. Keefe and Cox in Ward Four by Messrs. W. J. Brown and Elmer MacDonald, and Couns. Prowsc and Johnstone in Ward Five (three seats) by Messrs. '1'. Roy Cudmore, P. R. McCormac, and Charles 'E. Worth. For Water Commissioners (three vacancies) two members of the former Board, Chair- man W. D. Gillis and Mr. Roy Bevan, have offered for re-election. New candidates running are Messrs. Ernest Clawson and Stewart Ives. Citizens this year can have little coni- plaint with regard to the amount of in- formation made available in the civic re- ports submitted at the recent annual meet- ing. The financial statement showed a debt increase for the past year of 3236,1111, bringing the net debt up to S2,390,653. This, it was stated, was due mainly to capital expenditures, a large part of it represent- ing assets recoverable in street and side- walk assessments. A surplus on current ac- count of some 3l6,177 was shown. It was announced by the Mayor and Finance Chair- man that a new tax structure, for which a . survey had been completed, would enable the city to enjoy increased revenue at a lower tax rate in future. On the other hand, the report of the Water Commission- ers indicated that an increase in water rates can be expected shortly. This, briefly, is the financial picture. and it; is certainly one which indicates that the City has been going heavily into debt. Whether the expenditures have been war- ranted in all cases is a matter for our cit- izens to decide. We have discontinued the v oldtime pre-election civic meetings at i - ' which candidates for office hadgan oppor- tunity of expressing their view on subjects Another important purpose X... i sewed by such meetings was that cand- iv idates might be queried from the meeting as to how they proposed to put their re- form programmes, if any, into effect. This old democratic method has gone by the board, and the electors are left largely to their own intuition and personal knowledge of the candidates in polling their votes. It is a good sign, at any rate, to see new contestants in the field and to note that for the most part they are well known for initiative and enterprise in the conduct of their own affairs. Whether successful or otherwise on this occasion, they are per- forming a public service bymhtenng the race for civic honors and responsibilities. Civic problems have grown tremendously in recent years, and the opportunity of voting in the best men available to handle these problems should be taken seriously by all our taxpayers. Today's voting will.'it is hoped, be both large and representative. Moscow Birthday Party Censorship in the Soviet. Union being as it is, it is not surprising that little news leaked through the Iron Curtain on so ap- parently innocuous a matter as a birthday celebration. Birthdays, as a rule, lack pol- itical significance. Anywhere, that is, but in the Soviet Union and its satellites. The birthday celebration accorded Soviet vice- premier and member of the Polltbureau Malenkov, who recently reached the age of 50, is of political significance far beyond the confines of the Iron Curtain, for it raises once again the question of a succes- sor to Stalin. Soviet leaders today are of three gen- erations. Of those over 70 only Stalin and Voroshllov remain. The latter is a bann- lcss flgurehead. The rest are dead,. most of them by Stalin's own decree. The next generation. averaging, 60 years in use. '5 headed by Molotov and flanked by Pres- ident Shvemlk and vice-premier Kazan- ovich. Malenkov belongs to the third, and duetothemysterlousdeathssnddisalr pearances of the more prominent of his contemporaries, is undisputed heir-apparent to the leadership of his generation. . Speculation that he may emerge as suc- cenortostalinlslporlndnotonlybythe lnvlsh celebrations marking his fiftieth , birthday, but also by the fact that like i Italic lllinsslta 1'50 "I 9' "W." 'i"'t - -nut.-. of Soviet bureaucracy is attributable to organizing ability and ruthlessness rather than to any of the more desirable qualities of leadership. Malenkov is an "operative" who knows the new despotism and its mechanisms from the ground up. Orchids, in the Soviet Union, seldom fall on those outside the warming radiance of Premier Stalin's smile. Mr. Malenkov, having succeeded in living dangerously to reach, in Soviet public life at any rate, the ripe old age of 50 and at the same time to be the recipient of official orchids, is, as- suredly a man worth watching. Vllieroas The rules of parliamentary procedure are very important indeed in a country in which so much is decided in public meet- ings as in Canada. Although every organiza- tion, or indeed every meeting, can frame its own rules of order, the ordinary rules on which we fall back when none have been especially decided upon are the rules of the Canadian Parliament. In one respect there seems to be an un- fortunate tendency to stray from establish- ed procedure. All motions should properly commence with the word "That." In this way if a motion meets the approval of the meeting, it may at once become the resolu- tion, vote, or order which it purports to be. All too often, however, a series of preambles commencing with "Whereas" is inserted in the proposed resolution, an objectionable practice which, as Bourinot says, is at vari- VTHE GUARDIAN.

The administration of the City's affairs can be expected to reflect the interest or lack cf it which is shown by those qualified to vote. 0 Through an oversight Mr. Keefe's elec- tion card did not appear in yesterday's issue. He is still seeking the suffrages of Ward IV which he has represented for the past two years. Surely one week is not too long to set apart for public mourning for the loss of our Monarch. Respect for the dead is part of our Christian heritage and a measure of our state of civilization. 0 One source of power which is rarely lacking in this Province is that of the wind. Large scale and private harnessing of the wind would go far towards providing need- ed power at a moderate cost. 0 About a year ago an air transport crash- ed without loss of life. The reason was principally that the passengers were sent- ed facing to the rear. A similar seating arrangement for busses and even automo- biles might undoubtedly save many a life.

Rafael Sabatlni, British novelist and dralnatist..,dled, this date 1950. Born in Italy in 1875 of an Italian father and an English mother, he was educated in Swit- zerland and Portugal. He wrote a number of po lar historical novels and many plays as we l as biographies of Cesare Borgia and Torquemada. "Captain Blood" is typical of his novels. In discussions ovexfabsence of the word "Royal" from mail as applied to Canada's Post Office, there's been no recalling of how and why the word was first dropped. A man who was close to the situation when the change was made about 20 years ago, under the regime of Hon. Paul Sauve as postmaster-general, says the word "Royal" was dropped to achieve I blllngunl word- ing "Postes Canada Post", which is still in use. The Royal coat of arms was and still is retained. I Notes From Another Island By "Anson" 6 LONDON. England-When Win- ston Churchill took on the Prem- iership in 1940 one of the first things he told the nation was that he could offer nothing but "blood. toil, tears and sweat." llow right he was we were to find out in the years that followed, yet he grew in stature all the time and when in 1945 he was voted nut of office his stock was never higher and the esteem in which he was held extended far beyond the shores of his own country to nll parts of the world where the ideals of person- al freedom are cherished. This approbation, so for as the United Kingdom was concerned, was all the more remarkable be- cause lhroughout. those five years the administration which be head- ed had been compelled to sub- lugnte a large measure of that very freedom in the interests of the civilised world as a whole. The exigencies of war made it neces- sary for us to suffer the imposit- ion of s. more rigid discipline and curtailment of our liberties than we had known for generations. The solution is, of course. that these restrictions were accepted in the main. if not gladly, at. least with nn awareness of their neces- sity: the blame for most of our national troubles is by custom laid at the door of the Government. of the day. but. wartime urgency was felt to be an extenuating circum- stance inthls case.Thnt Churchill's personal standing was not enough to return his party to power Bl the i945 General Election. can. presumably, only be cxplnlned by giving the public credit for voting for s party and not an individual. 0 O U .

Once again. he was able to offer us no prospect of easy times: on this more recent occasion there may be less emphasis on the blood and the tears (though the risk is ever- proscnt) but the toil and the sweat. are joined by financial strain and increasing austerity.

It is promise". It is necessary to speak this country. If this country insists in building a heavy and rigid tax pattern into its national structure. it should not be disappointed if many of its people turn away from the pioneering challenge. , It is quite true, as Mr. Churchill said that "there is no more spac- ious nnd splendid domain than Canada open to the activity and zoning of free men." But perhaps Canada will really increase and hold its population only when the land of the unusual opportunity becomes equally the land of the unusual reward. Perhaps only then will this land of the rising sun really attract and hold the early riser. when we have so much to be thankful for in this country it seems a bitter irony that we should nllow unwise policy to dark- er. our own promise.
