A CITY VITALLY INTERESTED. The Hammond City Council is charged with an extremely important duty this week the selection of a member of the board of education. It is unnecessary to state that the action of the council is eagerly watched by the business interests and people of Hammond, a majority of whom want to see L. L. Bomberger named to succeed himself and are not hesitant about saying so. If L. L. Bomberger were called hence he would be widely mourned, glowing eulogies of him as a citizen would be said, the flowers and tributes would be numerous, attention would be directed to the high qualities of his citizenship, his career as a professional man, his usefulness, the splendid performance of his duties as a member of the board of education, his civic loyalty and his model life. We have always believed that the good things that can be said about a man should be noted while he is alive rather than after he has gone. What account are they to him or his then? Let us consider. Mr. Bomberger, a professional man of established reputation, accepted a seat on the Hammond board of education, an arduous and thankless task to which he has devoted himself assiduously and with undisputable credit, as a civic duty to which he was beholden. Now, in this day and generation, it is the custom of good citizens to deplore the fact that it is impossible to get good men to stand for office and that the hungry politicians get the jobs sometimes to the detriment of official service. You can't get a good man to run for offipe is often heard. The office never seeks the man, the man seeks the office. Hammond should and we believe does rejoice that it has a man of Mr. Bomberger's type and calibre in so important an official field as the board of education. It seeks to retain him for the good of the city school system. The city

can point to his record with pride. The taxpayers know that he is an accepted fact on the board and not an experiment. His confreres on the board gladly testify to that statement. Mr. Bomberger's services on the school board Hammond can ill afford to lose. He has taken a strong civic and personal pride in the Hammond schools and their welfare. He has sacrificed much time and consumed much energy in carrying out his duties. Mr. Ralph Tennant, a fellow board member, says of him: "His year as president of the board has been marked by the development of a spirit of harmony throughout the organization of the school city, and by a rapid and economical development of the physical property of the schools. This has taken days and days of Mr. Bomberger's time, which he has given gladly and without a thought of compensation other than the pride and satisfaction any truly public spirited member of society feels from a civic duty well done.' There is vital work for the Hammond school board to do in the next few years. This work needs men of ripe judgment, business experience, scholarly attainment and civic wisdom. It would be a sad mistake to substitute for Tm.. L. Bomberger a self-seeking politician of narrow vision and selfishness. We believe that Hammond City Council has already grasped' the situation. We believe that it senses the school city's needs and will insist on Mr. Bomberger's reappointment.

THE CHANGING TIMES The disappearance in the last 10 years of a once thriving industry is well illustrated by the experience of an Oregon man who wanted to buy

a buggy. The firm, former dealer in this vehicle, to which he wrote had none, but the customer was persistent, so the firm, after much searching, finally located one that had been left : a. : i j ri . !

on an unciuerpriiaiiig ucaicr s nanas. ine man got his buggy and if he is wise he will take good care of it, because in a few years it will be difficult to find one the country over. Yet who cannot remember when the shinning new automobile was the pride of the possessor? The manufacture of these vehicles was a large industry. But the horse-drawn buggy could not compete with the self-propelled car and the occasional buggy which one sees is a lingering survival of a bygone age which was here but yesterday. Many a man of middle age, and woman not many years his junior, has not forgotten the pride that was had in a stylish turnout. With a dependable horse and the right associations a buggy-ride was a pleasure to be remembered. Buggies are too slow and old-fashioned for the younger generation, but it is doubtful if the young swain and his sweetie get as much enjoyment out of an automobile than those who were youthful in an earlier day did from a buggy and a dependable horse that did not always have to be guided.

; Tenting under the pines and stars of the northland has a jharm that (draws more and more vacationists each stxmmer. The eastern provinces of Canada are particularly popular in this respect. There are camps for girls, for boys, for men, for women and for everybody all together. Down in drowsy, delightful Nova Scotia there is Camp Mooswa on Lake Annis near the picturesque seaport of Yarmouth, and a bit farther op the Bay of Fundy, in Dieby County, is Aldercliffe Came

both of which are boys' camps of Jong established reputation and de

servedly popular. Thirty miles by

pood motor road, from historical Annapolis Royal, is located Kedgejnakooge Rod and Gun Club. It is not as exclusive as its name implies, bat is open to all who love the

wilds. The. club is situated in a veritable maze of lovely waterways. Fishing and hunting are unexcelled ana draw many sportsmen in season. Cozy cabins equipped with running water and electric lights, supplemented by tents, insure privacy, while the club house with its spacioun public rooms affords a social center. Across the bay from Nova Scotia we find the Bryn Derwyn Camps on Lake Utopia near the town of the same name in New Brunswick. This is a pleasant family camp with furnished cottages and tents. Boating and fishing are but two of Bryn Derwyn's charms. The Province of Quebec and its fascinating Laurentian Mountains provide plenty of fine sites for

camps and rustic summer resorts

be known as Camp Ouareau. It is reached by a drive from Ste. Agathe, a railway station near Montreal. This camp is conducted along the hnes of Girl Scouts' camps. Instruction in swimming, boating and riding, under competent teachers, and some class work is provided. No less than three big camps ara maintained on the islands of Lake Timagami in Ontario. They are Wabi-Kon, for both men and women; Keewaydin Camp with 200 members all Americans and Camp Timagami for boys. Fin bathing beaches, superb scenery r.nd good fishing are some of the4r attractions.
