THIRTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYEIGHT THE WARDEN Tribute was paid to the Warden of York County Friday night at the animal Wardens banquet The Crystal Ballroom of the King Edward hotel Toronto was filled with people from York county and Toronto Mr Armstrong retires at the end of the year and the council will elect a new warden in January Warden Armstrong the reeve of seemed to thrive on controversy The issue earlier this year over county health services perhaps was one of the longest and most vindictive political battles in the countys history This newspaper and Warden Arm strong were on opposite sides of the fence during that issue Yet we have a good regard for the Warden be cause of his warm good humored nature and his effi ciency and interest in the routine matters of the county administration Reeve Roy Pollock of North township speaking at the banquet Friday observed that Warden Armstrong managed to be in trouble during the greater part of his term most of which was of his own crea tion It appeared that Mr Armstrong had no second thoughts about stepping into political trouble and that he had little fear of coming out on the losing side WARDENS BANQUETS County Wardens banquets are interesting affairs Everyone remotely connected with the county attends along with his wife and perhaps his motherinlaw We understand that there was a day when the warden him self threw the party and paid the expenses As the county grew in size it became a financial hardship for the warden Today a warden would be bankrupt after paying for the annual dinner unless he happened to be a millionaire Nowadays the county t and the bill is no small going on for so many years that it has become and thereby a policy of the county council The has nothing to say about it Added to the county ex penses for one of the best ballrooms in the city and an elegant dinner for everyone is the cost for hotel suites and the attendant bottled refreshments provided by the municipalities Bui who should criticize these customs in an age when cocktails are the accepted part of the social graces even at the opening of a new bank And i are among the items which the tax- pay for the see it has been Everyone who finds it convenient attends the war dens banquet for the free dinner and entertainment members of the press being in the forefront of the line up There is the occasional person not associated with the county who dues buy a ticket We wonder how many of the press and others would turn up if the county made a charge of per plate Why should we he criti cal of wardens banquets when everyone from the con tractor for the new highway down lo the township fence viewer and his sisterinlaw attends The banquet is for the warden and he deserves it for days of devo

and Brownies or ganizations marched with war veterans and citizens to the cenotaph and attended the special church services Tuesday Nov was another holiday for the child ren At the plant where this newspaper is produced the machines stopped in a nearby factory yard a truck driver who had been unloading lumber stopped stood at attention and bowed his head Except for the noise of three youngsters playing cowboys in the street all was quiet The youngsters in their innocence con tinued to play Since Tuesday was a school holiday the movie theatre did a good business and the skating arena opened its doors so that the children could have plenty of fun It is understandable that there should be resentment against a holiday for the civil service banks and par ticularly for school children The school holiday would be less a mockery of Remembrance if there were an or ganized activity at least in the morning which provided meaning for the school children on that day RETARDED CHILDREN Mrs
