MAYORS LAST
MESSAGE TO COUNCIL AND CITIZENS
the following me88aoe will
Ie given by present mayor
to council at meeting tonight; has me88age for amherst people also.
BROWNHELM CHRISTMAS
PROGRAM WELL ATTENOIO.
Honorable Council of the village of
Amherst:
Gentlemen:
Being the last meeting that this
body will have before disbanding, I
feel that I ought to at least express
a word of appreciation to you, particularly, and the people of Amherst,
generally, for the co-operation you
have shown during the past four years.
There never has been a body of coun-
i-llmen in the history of Amherst and I
doubt if another such body shall ever
be assenrbled that was so much In accord as has this body been. We, ourselves, at least will agree that we
have accomplished much In the way
of public Improvement since our in-
I'umbence In ofllce and all of you
seemed to be of one mind ln the de
clsslon of matters pertaining to these
improvements. During our term you
l hnve been fair In your deliberation nnd
Just tn your decisslons upon all matters presented for your consideration.
All political affiliations were foregot
ten In the council chamber and If there
were any discussions which were in
any way biased, it was due to the fact
. that we permitted our desires to show
our fairness to those whom we knew
to be unfriendly to carry us too far In
i heir fuvor.
We have made some mistakes. To
err is human, but the accomplishments
far outweigh nny errors In Judgment.
The greatest of the present council
In ray opinion has been the fearless
manner In which they have attacked
all their problems. It was due to
this fact that so much was accomplished. The present administration will
not go down In history as a "do nothing" body. We can point with pride
to our four years ln office and can
look back upon these four years as a
period of pleasant association together, untainted by any suspicion of unfair advantage gained to any person,
group.-.jjrganlsuilon or territory of the
municipality.
Whatever honor which Is to be de-
rlved-.fro mour four year's work should
be devlded equally. Whatever we
have otic has been accomplished as a
body, an not as Individuals, therefore,
we have no individual honor and the
resposibllltles ot this period have been
equally shared. Passing the buck has
not been Indulged in by any ot the
members to my knowledge.
I also wish to thank you for the confidence and trust which I huve felt that
you hud placed In me. I have tried to
conduct myself und actions to Justify
this confidence. We leave this office
with our hands and conscience ss
cleur as when we entered.
To the people of Amherst, I wish to
thank them for myself, und 1 am sure
I express the opinion of the council,
for their co-operation and assistance
during our term in office. We have
been the instrumentality through
which their desires have been made
possible. They are the ones to whom
the credit ls due for anything we have
accomplished. It Is their village, of
which they can be JuBtly proud. Without their co-operation we could have
done little. We thank them. We also
wish to pledge our cooperation to the
Incoming mayor and council to continue the march ot progress towards
an Amherst, fur ahead of the present
Amherst in civic advantage and
beauty.
J. J. SMYTHE,
Mayor.

LIGHT BULBS STOLEN
FROM XMAS TREES
Sunday night, a person or persons
felt the desire to obtain some electric
light bulbs at a minimum cost of nothing and took them off of the Christinas trees in front of Plato ft Pippert's
clothing store und in front of C. J.
Khrmun's Grocery.
The trees were very attractive with
red, white and blue lights and helped
to keep the spirit ot Christmas at a
high point, from the time they were
put up until today. The only undesirable mark on tbe spirit the local
merchants were trying to keep alive
was the theft of the bulbs from u common tree and yet an Important part
of the Christmaa season.

BROWNHELM PASTOR
SPEAKS FOR GERMAN
CHILDREN TUESDAY
Tuesday morning at Brownhelm
Congregational church, Harold Hester,
pastor, delivered u Christmas sermon
ln behalf of the starving children of
Germany.- Taking as his thme, "A
Little Child Shull Lead Them," he
shared with the congregation such
fscts us he had been able to gather.
He said there are 3,000,000 people
without shoes or underwear. No milk
for thousands of babies, nor swaddling clothes. He asserted 7,000,000 j
little children undernourished, most
of them have no breud nor uny Wurm ;
meal.
• -General Henry T. Allen un his Committee of 100 representative Americans are culling ror $10,000,000, which
the experienced, kindly hunds ot the
Friends' Service Committee wll dispense. No overhead charges whatsoever from this fund," suid Rev. Hester. "Cause of this situation to be
sure is bad politics and the international impasse. But whatever our
scruples we must not wait on politics.
Self-preservation would move us to
help ln view of the spread of disease
that follows In the wake of famine.
Knowing the fuels, which 1 have tried
. ii ■ best I lould to learn and which
Q,any ot y.iu aiieady know, shall we
not let tho spirit ot Christmas open
ou: hearts t3 this greut need. $1.00
wlh giv ■ o'lai Child Sua hot meal a duy
or s mouth, $G.OO for the winter season. How many children will we
suve? *
"Like the shepherds ot old we too
utay see the Christ child. Behold, this
Christmas time, the angels sing unew,
Today In David's city, ln mean little
.Nazareth yea in despised Germany itself, unto you is bom a little child.
And you shall find him not so much
as wrapped ln swaddling clothes, nor
even a manger of straw in which to He,
but out ln the cold und the snow, with
never u place to, lay his head. Will we
list to that angel song and, like tbe
shepherds, go and see him? Will we,
like the magi, bring our gifts to this
little child? If we will, If we will
bring our all, wttbhodlng nothing from
these children in such need, we shall
see Jesus, we shall see God. himself,
and we shall bring nearer the better
duy, for Jesus himself has said, Whoever receiveth one such little child ln
iny name receiveth me, and whoever
receiveth me receiveth God that sent
me."
A number have said they wanted to
help. Anyone of the following will
see that funds given reach the Allen
Committee for Relief of German Children, or the Friends' Service Comer
mlttee that dispense the funds in Germany; Anthony Northelm, Harold Hester and Samuel Baoon.
Mayor J. J. Smythe reported today

MAYORS LAST MESSAGE TO COUNCIL AND CITIZENS the following me88aoe will Ie given by present mayor to council at meeting tonight; has me88age for amherst people also. BROWNHELM CHRISTMAS PROGRAM WELL ATTENOIO. Honorable Council of the village of Amherst: Gentlemen: Being the last meeting that this body will have before disbanding, I feel that I ought to at least express a word of appreciation to you, particularly, and the people of Amherst, generally, for the co-operation you have shown during the past four years. There never has been a body of coun- i-llmen in the history of Amherst and I doubt if another such body shall ever be assenrbled that was so much In accord as has this body been. We, ourselves, at least will agree that we have accomplished much In the way of public Improvement since our in- I'umbence In ofllce and all of you seemed to be of one mind ln the de clsslon of matters pertaining to these improvements. During our term you l hnve been fair In your deliberation nnd Just tn your decisslons upon all matters presented for your consideration. All political affiliations were foregot ten In the council chamber and If there were any discussions which were in any way biased, it was due to the fact . that we permitted our desires to show our fairness to those whom we knew to be unfriendly to carry us too far In i heir fuvor. We have made some mistakes. To err is human, but the accomplishments far outweigh nny errors In Judgment. The greatest of the present council In ray opinion has been the fearless manner In which they have attacked all their problems. It was due to this fact that so much was accomplished. The present administration will not go down In history as a "do nothing" body. We can point with pride to our four years ln office and can look back upon these four years as a period of pleasant association together, untainted by any suspicion of unfair advantage gained to any person, group.-.jjrganlsuilon or territory of the municipality. Whatever honor which Is to be de- rlved-.fro mour four year's work should be devlded equally. Whatever we have otic has been accomplished as a body, an not as Individuals, therefore, we have no individual honor and the resposibllltles ot this period have been equally shared. Passing the buck has not been Indulged in by any ot the members to my knowledge. I also wish to thank you for the confidence and trust which I huve felt that you hud placed In me. I have tried to conduct myself und actions to Justify this confidence. We leave this office with our hands and conscience ss cleur as when we entered. To the people of Amherst, I wish to thank them for myself, und 1 am sure I express the opinion of the council, for their co-operation and assistance during our term in office. We have been the instrumentality through which their desires have been made possible. They are the ones to whom the credit ls due for anything we have accomplished. It Is their village, of which they can be JuBtly proud. Without their co-operation we could have done little. We thank them. We also wish to pledge our cooperation to the Incoming mayor and council to continue the march ot progress towards an Amherst, fur ahead of the present Amherst in civic advantage and beauty. J. J.

And you shall find him not so much as wrapped ln swaddling clothes, nor even a manger of straw in which to He, but out ln the cold und the snow, with never u place to, lay his head. Will we list to that angel song and, like tbe shepherds, go and see him? Will we, like the magi, bring our gifts to this little child?
