A month or two after élection, many voters have forgotten even the names of those for wbonî they voted. We go our ot%-i ways and our officiais are' 'allowNed to go theirs. H-ow many voters have even once attended an ordinary mieet- ing of any board of, trustees, village, and willingiy cooperate witb tbem in tbe putting into practice of tbe laws and reg- ulations whicb* tbey eriact.

Register your complaints openly and not tnerely to the feilolw across coliie with an autoist going forward on the intersecting steet, but one such acci-, dent is far too many if it involves,. as it Wel rnay, the lôss of ýlife or some major injtiry.

Ail tis' littie story 'needs, îs a point. It seemrs that there's considerably more to these Wvilmette elections ,than the, mere casting, and colinting of ballots . %Vorkers at. a polling place, near the. sanctum sanctorum wereobservedpushing-. baby buggies while mothers.voted. The youngsters will probably be talking politics wbile cutting their'ý teeth. Stili it doesn't hurt for- an eélection worker té make'sure of a fewý future votes. OfficiaIs at' one Wiîmette polling place worked on1 ajlg-saw, puzzle diirin . lb4ls in the parade of voters. We'll wager it was a lot easier to count votes than 'to find the proper niches for those mad- 4ening. jig-saw fragments (which probably out- numbered the ballots). Our imagination -leads Ur to believe that some of the voters may have tarried to help the judges with their jig-saw. Anyway, nowv that we know the election resuîts, we'd like to find out other important facta. What was1 "thet thar" jig-'saw-picture-and who won?
