meet its objective this week in the war savings drive for pledges of 3600 every month enough money to supply a 12lb naval gun every month and again we say well done acton when we indicate the whole community we t mean just that because early returns indicate that such was attained by participation of most everyone in the community the majority of folks are in on the plan with practical help for victory eightyseven per cent of all the employees in all the industries in acton are pledged to fight with their savings to supply the tools of war for victory up and down the main street there are many of the business places displaying the certificates showing -that-proprietor-and-members-of-tho-staff-are-help- ing a hundred per cent several of the industries have 100 per cent cooperation in

only you can maintain it v belt or feet recent sessions of county council seem to indi cate that one of the most serious problems con fronting that body these days rs making the build ings comfortable and roomy for the various offic ials second last meeting the heating problem oc cupied a gooddeal of deliberation the meeting jist week dealt at length with the allocation of of fice space in the county buildings who should have two rooms was the big question in these days when every one is asked to coop erate in the war effort when the materials used for new heating are urgently needed for wars essen tials the question did seem out of place likewise the allotting of office space did not seenv to be mo mentous when one considers the efforts on the home front the latest rules affecting everyone in adjust ment under the regulation and stabilization of price then one couldnt help but make compari son over the allotment of office apace in the bombed areas in old london where some places there arent office now we hear the expression often these day about drawing in your belt perhaps there are occasions when a move in the general interest where one night be admonished to draw in your feet v saving ounehm the war has brought about many changes in the everyday life of those it home in factories on the farm or in business these changes have invariably been confusing at the ouset all changes cause dif ference of opinion and some cpnfusjon but some way time does smooth out these problems which loom so urge when first tackled the biggest of all these problems to dato was the one that went into effect on monday which is aimed to stop the riae in pricea and avoid inflation con versation with many and comment in iho presa would indicate that most everyone agreed li i was in the best interests of canada as a whole that such steps be taken the controversial part of plan la in its mag nitude and in equality of administration but surely hoflra44sanawarcd bythosiici rss

rather simply here iia retail price when itlat retuil price was figured out the cost of manufacturing pro cessing and delivering the goods to the retailer wuh xo much and hince then the cost of replacing lhe goods has risen very rapidly consequently if re- tuiler prices are to 16 held everyone back from the retailer in the primary producer must accept u lower price must accept his share uf the added cost so that the retailer may receive his replacements nt n cost which will enable linn to uhsarh unly his own additional costs in the form of liihur or other overhaul mid still sell the goods at n reasonable profit the new order presents nn opportunity for can adians to help in enmhnting n problem that is one of our most serious ones there is no need to tell what in nation did to germany there isiu need to recall what our last flint nt it did to canuda profiteers waxed fat at the expense of the workers nobody wants inflation therefore lets do every thing possible to stop it an advertisement in an other column of tin fm r ppiss tells briefly how each can help we urge everyone to read it and for their own and common good to cooperate in the spirit of the measure v unity of purtmwe some indication of the scope of the work of the acton and vicinity war service league was igivcn last week in the report of the meeting of this or ganization it is a joining up of the many forces in the town and district that arc doing a mighty important part in our local war effort such an or ganization functioning as the one here is now doing prevents not only serious duplication of effort but of distribution of the little extras supplied the fight ing forces various ways of raising funds for this work are -outlined-but-tho-ono-tnat-wilmiavo-much-commun- ity interest of this month is the community auction sale other nearby places that have conducted such eventssuceessfu a r and george- town auction sales are always interesting events one in which the whole community and the district surroundings is taking part should have more than usual interest reports from other communities in dicate this to be the case and so the event coming up gives promise of not only money raising but of real interest combining of the activities of the war organizations assures no conflicting of dates and a distribution of funds where most urgently needed the scope of the war service
