financial and other features ithat make the affairs of acton very pleasing it is well that a decision has been reached by all citizens and those nominated that an election was not necessary there were no contentious points as evidenced by the nomination meeting on friday it seemed very advisable that the present council should stay in office at the present time to settle some matters that arc unfinished principal of which is the maria street bridge question in these days when almost everyone is devot ing every spare moment to some activity in con nection with the war an election that is not nec essary should be avoided then again there are not the facilities with automobiles to get out a good vote and the decision given is liable to be a minority decision if there hid been aquestionarisingupanwhich there was a sharp division of opinion the matter is entirely different and an election is advisable to settle the point n a democratic way acton is in splendid condition both financially and in maintain ing the properryof the corporation ratc fortunate thar in these busy times capable men ore willing to carry on this work ratepayers and candidates are to be congratulated

canadian cities butter supplies recently hava not been aulbcient to meet therre demands the situation does not constitute an emergency nqr is it as serious as some people seem to think there are to main causes for these temporary and local shortages for the past year we have been consistently using 10 to 15 more butter than in normal times with consequent disturbance to the distribution of our butter supplies many people have been buying more butter than they currently need the limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fact that if every home would reduce its consumption of butter by only one ounce per person per week for the average home this mesns a quarter of a pound a week or if we reduced our national consumption to the peacetime rate the shortage would toon disappear there is no reason for panic buying for housewives to rush out to best their neigh- butter will not be rationed to meet the prent situation butter production is actually above normal for this time of year the board itself is taking special action which it is believed will speedily restore normal supplies in retail stores these supplies will however be adetjuste for normal consumption
