SPECIAL ELECTION
 FUNDS PUzZLINC
None Available to Hold Referendum - Finance
 Board Has New Worry

Where, when and how to secure funds for the conduct of the special election on the city manager plan October is problem now con- fronting the board of finance which has been harassed all year by the need for additional money for re- lief work. Signing of the referen- dunn bill by Gov. Raymond E. Bald- win this week means that the funds must be provided for somehow, though finance commissioners are at a loss to know how.
 Estimates of the cost of the elec- tion run from $6,000 to $10,000. Also to be figured is the cost of printing the text of the proposed city manager charter in two news papers, as provided in the text of the bill.
 The 1939 budget provided funds for the regular city election, which has now been out back to November IA, but made no provision for any special election.
 The mechanics of the election ar- arrangements are also in doubt, since the charter referendum bill provides that the special election shall be in charge of the city clerk. board of aldermen and registrars. In the past, local elections have been conducted under the supervision of the town clerk and the registrars.
 The city has contingency fund, from which the election expenses might be secured, but the balance in 1t has been rapidly shrinking. The fund may be almost entirely depleted by October 3. No money can be taken from the special welfare fund except for reief purposes.
 The special election must be held, money or no money. or the city manager charter will become auto- matically effective. The bill pro- vides that unless rejected" at a referendum, the new charter be- comes effective in January, l940.

WHEELS FOR ALL

We used to think the
bicycle was disappearing,
along with the horse and
buggy. Seldom did you see
anyone except the very young
riding. a bicycle, as of yore.
But they become very pop
ular on college campus and
transporting youths to school
and men to work, for deliv-
ering messages and small
merchandise from stores. To-
day we think nothing of see
ing folks on bicycles, and
perhaps if we could keep our
balance we might join them!
We are all familiar with the
signs of Rent a Bicycle"
There are many cities where
they have paths for riders in
public parks. 1t is a wide
move, this one of pedal and
coast. It is a healthy move
too, for what better exercise
than this for a muscular
work out. Last year there
were about 100000 bicycles
sold in this country. That
is nearly 100000 more than
were sold at the beginning of

TO FATHERS

for a family gift of an cleo
trio ironer from Santa's
copious pack next winter. So
perhaps we should let him
have his day, undivided in
honor, when such a deserving
fellow comes into ties and
socks, shirts and pajamas,
to share with no one, not
even a grow son who wears
the same size! What differ
ence if colors are too loud,
socks too large, necks too
small. All will work out.
The idea is to give Father
respects and tributes, to
make him know what joy
it has given you to have him
for your Dad, the love and
fellowship of such a good
fellow.

We, as a sentimental folk,
must follow up that day
when Mother is crowned with
hurels, by seeing that Father
comes into his deserved own.
It might have been prudent
to take the two Sundays, one
in May and the other in June,
consolidate and have "Par-
ent's Day., when both loved
ones divide the honors
equally. But far be it from
us to lessen the profits of
business! There would be the
purchasing of one combined
gift for Dad and Mother, the
buying of one card for the
parents, the sending of one
pot of flowers for the family
garden. The necktie' and hos
iery manufacturers would
have to give the household
appliance dealers a break, for
how often Father has come
in for a share of an electric
waffle-iron or dripolator.
Many a dad has shares in a
new lamp for the living-room
and a haf-interest in a pair
of andirons at Christmas.
