Ephraim presented the certifi-
Gates of awards and Mrs. Edna
Bond of Buffalo township gave
a report on the nominating COM
mittee for new members Of the
advisory council.
In his talk Of the evening,
which was very we'll received by
the 63 members and guests of this
organization, County Agent Coul-
son compared club advisors to
electricity in that there is a sym
pathetic energy always felt be
tween the advisor and club mem
Der, yet it may not be seen.
He listed ten outstanding char
acteristics of an advisor, not only
IN this county, but elsewhere as
well, which included:
l. Enthusiasm or a belief in the
program that transcends all other
things, with the thought that the
program is right and needs their
support. He ointed out here that
to be successful, it must be a
very active one, not passive.
2. Sincerity in doing the best
for the club and the community.
3. Confidence in that the work
he or she does comes to great
good for the club boy and COM
munity.
4. Companionship is repre-
sented by the advisors for they
are people, honest in attitudes,
beliefs and dealings.
5. Advisors arc successful
teachers who administer wisely
and justly, the awards and
amendments.
6, Advisors are solflcsS and 20
| the second mile, meaning that
they are considerate and thought
. full of all club members.
Z. Advisors are helpful to
young people, who have set an
objective.
8. Advisors assist in develop
ment of skills but they are sec
ondary to the intangible values
gained by the club boy or girl in
the sharing of an achievement.
9. An advisor is also a student
for he learns and continues to
grow as he teaches.
10. Advisors have the oppor-
tunity to show their Christian
personality, in that thew can

dies and leave them at the office
of the Reliable Cab Company. The
papers must be tied up in bundles,
however, because loose papers can
not be handled.

Longer Tern,
For Mayor
Prof. posed

Territorial Representative Clar-:
ence d. Heating, former mayor Of
Seward, proposed legislation this
week to lengthen the term in Of
flee for mayors from one to two
years.
If his proposal goes through,
the election date would be shifted
from April to early October,
thereby permitting t h e newly
elected mayor and council to plan
the municipal budget for their
own term in office. Councilmen
would be elected to three-year
terms.
Ability to plan a budget would
give a municipal administration a
running start, and the additional
year in office would give enough
follow-up time for good man to
effectively carry out his program.
AS it is now, candidate for
the mayors office can not con-
troll his own program because of
the fact that civic improvements
must be planned in the winter and
the actual work done in summer.
This means the mayor, elected
in April; inherits a program pro-
posed by his predecessor.
