maritimes when you buy your potatoes in small quantities as we do because of lack of space for stbragefa few bad ones or small mis shapen ones makes a big difference also the pota toes from the maritimes are so clean and nice and therein lies a tale of woe from the stand point of the ontario farmer vr tale the blame for which lies at the door of those selfsame fnrmers llowingup herma wo g m1drjal mora accommodation but fewer pupils the comparison of inspector denyes in his report on acton public school last week regarding attend ance is to say the least interesting the enrollment at present is thirteen less than it was twentyfive year ago the population of acton has increased by three or four hundred and yet the number of chil dren of school age is smaller it has apparently been all adult growth in population school accommodation has been increased during this period by an addition of three rooms to the public school section in 1014 and later the acquisi tion of a new building for the high school of course the field of subjects has been enlarged and today the school pupil receives a much improved course of study but just when additional rooms for more new courses are advocated the presentation of these figures give some food for thought families are certainly smaller than a quarter of a century ago but it does appear that the present accommo dation is ample in view of the facts presented in the inspectors report ample provision for enjoyment young folks of acton and district who are athlet ically inclined certainly have no cause for complaint on the facilities provided here winter actiivtics at the ymoa the arena and in a number of social ways are just concluding the park has been pre pared and made ready for the sports there the bowling greens and tennis rourts hove been having attention for some weeks and will be ready just as soon as those wtao enjoy these activities are ready to participate in every activity fees have been kept at a mini mum to encourage all to take part and moke it pos sible for numbers to enjoy the facilities rather than any favored few the tennis and bowling facilities at the fees asked have only been possible through the cooperation of the beardmore co evidence that acton folk do enjoy these privileges is not lack ing the tennis and bowling club report a success ful season and are very optimistic and interest is keen in sports carried on at the park and inavriably a good group arc enjoying the privileges its small wonder that many young folks prefer to live in acton and arc loathe to leave such facilities toronto potato prices the proof of the pudding so to speak pei potatoes were quoted at 00 to 05 cents per bag new brunswick 75 to 80 cents a bag and ontario no is from 40 to 45 cents a bag yet official lgures reveal that ontario actually has a greater acreage planted to potatoes than the mari time provinces and there is no doubt but that just as good if not better potatoes can be and are produc ed in ontario than in the east however there is one thing that the ontario potato tacks and that is grad ing while most of the eastern potatoes also have the advantage of being cleaned and polished if the ontario farmer is to secure this very worth while home market then ontario potatoes must be graded just as eggs are at the present time the uni formly supcrjor product is always going to capture the best markets grading and polishing stations could readily be established through cooperative effort with very worthwhile results for the benefit of the farmers co operative effort is the hope of the farmer but until the farmers are willing to enter such an organiza tion bent on following up its true meaning and con vinced that the better product should get the better price even if it be the product of a neighbor farmer and not his own cooperatives are doomed to fail in achieving success owen sound suntimes its the taxpayers own fault it cost 125 per mile to ride on the canadian national railways in 1037 and yet there arc still people who believe that canadas railway problem is not urgent kenneth r wilson staff writer of the financial post points out that whether or not you rode on a cnr train in 1937 or whether you ship ped a dollars worth of freight over the nationally owned railway the 125 per mile still comes out of your pocket as a matter of fact the revenue received by the government from sales tax taxes on tobacco sugar beer and cars was all swallowed up- in 15 years by cnr deficits the canada year book of 1037 re veals that the cumulative deficits from the cnr have risen from 211000000 in 1927 to approximate ly 1027000000 in 1937 the situation is respon sible for a very large proportion of canadian taxa tion in 1937 total earnings of canadas two railways were 340 millions from freight and passengers ser vices of this sum go- or 198 millions accrued to the canadian national and the remainder 145 mil lions to the cpr the latter met all its

city newspaper opinion on matter affecting economic welfare and biulneai interests there la too a tendency to lake at face value the allegations of politician one luneatlon i have to make u that in the interest of good cltlsenshlp good administration and good business that the rural weekly newspapers before pass ing judgment upon people who may be publicly attacked or alleged to be guilty of improprieties should ascertain the facts more completely than seems to have been ojten done tn the past i believe there is too general disposi tion tb discredit people of affairs and to assume that business of site and people of taxpaying capacity and those responsible for the employment of con siderable staffs ahould be made the object of unreasonable lee and imposltlona v perhaps i may illustrate this by giving you borne figures of our own experience in taxation and imposts in 1031 when we sold more goods than in any year since our total taxation and impoiu were m2m000 in 1037 this total had risen to 3tt0000 the extra 1460000 was of course paid largely by the constunrr one way and another these xtya impoata can be traced in some mea- fure to the political agitator it is most unlikely that property own ers persona of large affairs in business j large taxpayers or large employers can hold any sort of creditable reputation in the face of this disposition msttcni are

we understand it is sponsored largely by the garage operators assdication which has been organized to bring that branch of business activity on a better level and render an improved service to the public a motor car which is defective is indeed an unsafe thing on any highway accidents are difficult enough to avoid even when all the equipment is functioning properly motorists should be ready to cooperate fully with such a safety campaign if a driver operates a car knowing it to be in faulty condition he is a menace to everyone using the highway we believe most motorists want to prevent accidents no one wants to deliberately cause injury or damage when repairs are shown to be necessary it is the duty to hae them made j we will welcome a widening of the checking up those sponsoring the safety campaign are deserving of credit a motor car in good condition provides a great deal of usefulness and pleasure but machines not in proper condition are a menace to public safety there
