Consolidation of Towns Discussed

said for making one town of the two.
Here's something a citizen told us
only a day ago: "If we had only the
one town then there would be more
/ material to draw your town officials
from. As it now is it won't be long
before there isn't going to be any
one to take over There's war going
on and each has plenty to do. Town
the town was larger then it would
be possible to pay your council $25.OO
per year and your mayor $1,000; your
town clerk and treasurer a small fee
, also In that way it would be possible
to get candidates to run for the Of
flee. AS it now stands, all work
simply for the glory of the job, and
with the worries and trials of every
day life increasing it just isn't rea-
sonable to suppose that the many
small petty matters town officials are
called upon to settle seem very i'm
portant in this day"
There was a great deal more to the
conversation, joined in by others, but
the giSt of the matter was that these
men could see that a larger town
would mean better things for all
Think it over. Personally we agree
but no doubt there are many who will
disagree. Remember only few cross
ties separate us.
Salvation Army
In this day of WAVES, WAACS
and other groups, there is one or
ganization which, from our reading
seems to be on the road to a much
deserved recognition. We refer to the
Salvation Army. For a number OF
years, in all kinds of weather, we
have seen lone Salvation Army of,
ficer pIodding through the Park get
ting funds to carry on their work
Recently a columnist acquaintance Of
ours wrote an article lauding its
work.
Miss Elizabeth Stone Davis
The Jamestown IN. " Post.
Journal brings to many here sadness
1t records the death on Wednesday
January 9Th, of Miss Elizabeth Stone
Davis, which occurred in Chicago
Miss Davis has, for a number of
years. been a resident of Cicero, H.
near Chicago. Miss Davis has beer
identified there with the mission
work, similar to that of the Bowery
work done in New York. She is sur
vived by brother, Alfred C. Davis
Of Victoria, N. Y, and two sisters
Misses Elinor and Blanche Davis, OF
jamestown, N. Y Funeral services
were held in Cicero, at the Presby.
terrain church, on Friday, and the re
mains taken to Jamestown for private
committaI on Saturday. She was :
niece Of the late Mrs. Elizabeth
Talson
After this notice reached US We
rather felt that we should try tt
tell people just what a real person
Miss Davis was. For a great many
years she has been in Cicero Suffice
to say that Miss Davis was revereC
and thought of greatly by the whole
community. Perhaps if some one were
to write the story Of her life in thai
community it would make real read
ing. However, that will probably
never be done, because Miss Davi:
was always bit chary so far as di
vulging any of her good works. The
name, Elizabeth Stone Davis, recall.
to many the Davis family, early set
tiers in the Park. There has always
been Stone or a Davis here. Mis-.
Davis will be missed in many places
