Tute Worthen declined reelection as Mayor of Zealandia, Saskatchewan, and on January first, retired from that office. In its issue of November 22, 1945, The Zealandia News said editorially:
On December 31st of this year A. S. Worthen •will have completed 19 consecutive years as Mayor of the Town of Zealandia—a record that any man in public life can be proud of. During this period, which included the "hungry thirties," Zealandia, in common with many other towns, had a most difficult time in financing. Under the careful guidance of Mayor Worthen, Zealandia weathered this trying time, and today, despite expense of improvements, the town is in a healthy condition.
Many would have liked Mr. Worthen to continue in office, but despite the persuasion of friends, he felt he had served his time and refused to again stand for office.
The ratepayers of Zealandia owe a debt of gratitude to Mayor Worthen for his very efficient work and unselfish efforts, so generously and gratuitously given, over such a long period.
On behalf of the people of Zealandia, The News says: "Thank You for a job well done, and may you enjoy many years of retirement from the responsibilities of public office which you have justly earned."
