 -fhere is a proposition to form ''club" for the oldeT lads of the borough, to give them place to spend evenings protitably and pleasantly, with the patronage, finan- .cial support and to some extent supervis- foa of the fathers. The idea is a capital .one, but why not go farther and start a local branch of the Y. M. c. A.? There is something permanent in that. The asso- ciation when organized in place general 1y becomes at once a fixed institution, whose conduct, and an interest in which, is a source of pride to every member. The organization is non-seetarian, and al- lows a wide latitude of proper amusement to it's members and the frequenters of it's rooms.

 The suggestion of a correspondent last week that the town give employment to needy persons is a good one, and if by so doing the town can get something for money it will have to pay out for relief in any case, so much the better.
