edhbrja- pktorudy speaking one of the liveliest topics discussed t the recent weekly newspaper convention was the subject of pic tures for weekly newspapers perhsps you have noticed that for some time the free press hs been featuring more pictures in its columns cost of re producing the pictures hs been such thst their use was curtailed then again the securing of pictures that will reproduce well has been a problem frank ly we havent yet met with the success we had hoped for in the art of getting pictures good enough far reproduction you have perhaps wondered why cer tain pictures you have seen being taken are not in thb free press we have intimated some of the reasons many of the pictures taken have been sup plied through the courtesy of friends more expert than we are in getting good pictures but what we really wanted to tell you was that these difficulties arc being tackled and you may an ticipate more local pictures in your local paper costs are still a serious consideration and will limit the amount of pictures each weekbut we will endeavor to keep acton to the fore in pictures in the free press as in local reading matter the pictures we like best are those of greatest local interest and that interest all our readers if you have some particu larly good ones we would be glad tohave your co operation in keeping acton to the fore the pictures of the sunday parade are secured by the courtesy of mr wm cochrane of kitchener the ones we secured were just a big disappointment as far as reproduction in the free press is con cerned ingon school debenture building issues until 1047 and his outstanding nearly 2ooo0ef school deben ture bt we do not want to see acton lag behind in the matter of adequate education but success i not always measured in termi of equipment but rather in the will to make application of the facilities offer ed an expenditure over a period of years will meet with the approval of most folks the share the gov ernment will undertake in the cost will of course have a distinct bearing on the attitude taken toward the matter but at present its all very indefinite that spirit has not dlmlnlahed weve written a deal about community spirit and what can be done through cooperative effort its been quite a matter of pride that such a spirit is prevalent in acton arid we havo often pointed to things that have been accomplished through combin ed effort but acton will have to look to its laurels churchill congregation comprised of only a few families carried out a centennial celebration on sunday and monday that is hard to equal for co operative effort i to say it was a success is putting it mildly it took weeks of effort in preparing the church build ings and surroundings it took extraordinary effort to carry out the two days of strenuous program weve heard quite a bit about the pioneer spirit that mcr and overcome big obstacles it was apparently prevalent at churchill a hundred years ago it is just as prevalent in this day

not all to the exhibitors agricultural societies are now in a position to honor the unsung heroes of agriculture the men who have unselfishly given of theif valuable time and talent to further worthwhile agricultural pro jects in their community without thought of reward save in work well done for the benefit of all the ontario association of agricultural societies believing it is high time the work of these men should be recognized in tangible form has announced through secretary j a carroll toronto that each agricultural society may recommend one person per year te the district director for an agricultural ser vice diploma the director will conduct any investi gation deemed necessary and if satisfied will forward the recommendation to the secretary of the ontario association who will fill in the names of the re cipient and the society making the award and also place the stamp of the ontario association on the gold seal of the diploma it will then be sent back to the individual society for presentation on some formal occasion the awarr may go to anyone in the community and need not be confined to a member of an agricul tural society mr carrol states the diploma is fourteen inches by ten inches and will be signed by both the president and secretary of the ontario society editorial notes after all summer wasnt due to commence until tuesday and none can say it was behind schedule no changes made few may be hoped for whatever may have been hoped or planned of the budget is now a matter of record while there are no reductions in taxes there arc at least no increases of course the building trades have secured some consideration that should be stimulating it is better too that no- tariff changes have been made the policy of making these changes and having retalia- 1 tory measures adopted by other trading countries has not been very satisfactory in the past the outcome of the trade treaties now under negotiation with the united states and great britain will be a more satis- factory arrangement the budget with taxes and treaties eliminated therefore boiled down to not more than a statement i of finances and these are astounding enough can- adas net
