cooptntioat if- every other group who were asked to co-op- crate in the war effort gave the same type of coop cration that the brewing and distilling interests have thown since the address of prime minister king canada would indeed have real chaos and a nullified war effort while it has always been illegal for manufac turers of intoxicating beverages to advertise in on tario we have seen a regular flood of advertising in serted in all sorts of periodicals printed in the pro vince up until the first of the month some of these advertisements of the brewing interests have under- took to dictate the speech the prime minister could have given others have tried to show how badly used the brewing interests have been we have not see one that shewed a willingness to accept gracefully restrictions on their trade in wartime we didnt notice any of them playing up the pro fits made from the two hundred million a year busi ness just what will be the attitude now that dominion law becomes effective on the advertising angle re mains tobe 5cenprovincialjawejlforceinentfrom any standpoint has been more or less of a joke for some time and the police are not to blame either and we doubt if the new provincial squad will have any effect for better enforcement the liquor interests have by flouting the pro incial law of advertising and their present attitude shown what cooperation can be expected in the war effort they lime answered the prime ministers appeal by telling him what they would have liked him to say we wonder how far canadas war effort would progress if every other business took the same attitude we wonder how long any other business would be permitted to take the same attitude the sooner canada has a real shortage of intoxicating beverages the greater will be the ability of its people for an allout effort more hun a lower kate po while the tax rate reduction this year is not as large in acton as the one enjoyed last year it comes as good news to all ratepayers that the tendency is towards lower rates but even better news is the indication that the lower rate docs not mean curtail ment of services or uckrof provision in the esti mates for proper maintenance of snunicipal property repairs of side walks roadways etc yes the lower rate is possible in spite of the fact that additional new services such as a public health nurse have been provided for in the estimates there can be little said for municipalities that sacrifice their community property and services just to maintain a low tax rate such communities do not attract more aniens of the better typeao them or create a desire for the present citizens to enjoy living in them some may ask how increased expenditure can be afforded and the tax rate lowered at the same time the answer is simple at the close of 1939 the taxes unpaid were over 7000 the year previous the un paid taxes amounted to nearly 8000 in 1940 the tax arrears had dropped to a little over 4000 at the close of this year the unpaid taxes were less than 1000 there has been careful financing and good collecting when all take a fair share of the load the tax burden comes lighter if those tax ar rears go up another 1 000 next year instead otdown it means that those who pay will have to beasessed another mill to make up for those who are in ar rears the debenture debt is also getting down splendidly and actonians can anticipate further re ductions and a maintenance of the public services of the community v where little money savea many una trhe fasb press is pleased indeed to cooperate in the appeal this month for 250000 from ontario for the chinese war relief fund- while the activity on other fronts may at the present tjme be more spec tacular we must not forget that china has been tor tured by war for over six years added to wars horrors are famine and disease war casualties unudamage on other fronts may appear large but china has killed or permanently in capacitated 1200000 japanese soldiers right now china is engaging 1000000 japanese soldiers on her own fronts who would be released if china laid down her part of thework and ir takes so little money to care for so many chinese 20 will keep a chinese refugee alive for a whole year a fivedollar bill will disinfect 500 chin ese wounds in another column you can read how to help this fund nowhere can you put money to give so much life saving power as it can to help thc chinese torn not only by war but by famine and pestilence v the new ration iloolu in another column information is furnished re cording the securingof the new ration books places to secure these new books have been made conveni ent and we urge all to read the instructions care fully before making application for the new book remember that those who arc doing the work are doing it onlyw a citizenship vluty and arc receiving no rcmunerationtlf you can help offer your ser vices you must take in your old book when making ap plication and file in tqc form requested your old book will bo returned to you as there arc yet a num ber of coupons in it that arc needed to serure sup plies before the new book is valid the new books do not become valid until march oth in view of the fact that it is not possible to fore see what commodities may require rationing the new book will contain spare coupons just as the old did the announcement in another column gives complete details for this district read it thoroughly before making your application for a new book v itulldhw ilettcr bodies citizens generally have been commending the action of municipal council and other public groups in providing for acton to have the services of public health nurse it is a forward step and these days when the general health of the public is so essential this community cannot afford to lag be hind y frankly we are not fully conversant with the duties that will be undertaken by a public health nurse we doubt if any of our citizens can at this present time outline these duties in detail there may be a tendency of some of us to expect too much from this new service from the name some may get jheimpression that nursing servicewillbcsupplied on call some may conceive that in any illness they are entitled to services which cannot be rendered but time alone and the adoption of the service will straighten out many of these problems judging from tho attention that is being given to provision for maintaining public health through out the dominion this local step is only a forerunner of the services which may be set up at small cost for every canadian ill health and consequent loss or time has been a problem that has bothered every man and woman many illnesses could be avoided if precautions were taken but often these precau tions are neglected because funds are felt to be lack ing young canadians of this generation will un doubtedly have an opportunity to develop stronger bodies and enjoy better health throughout their life time as a result of present day health arrangements editorial notes it appears that hitler hasnt mastered the tech nique that is required to give public addresses when he has nothing to offer but blood and toil sweat and tears v va looks as if the open air rink was to be abandoned ror this year too bad but the young oiks have been very uncomplaining eycn if they have been dis appointed v you never miss the water til the tap goes dry and that period of less than an hour tuesday morn ing made folks realize how important it is to just always get a supply when needed v havent figured out yet wholl win but this battle of the snow seems to go on incessantly the west wind put it one place and the east wind fills the other corner only the south wind settles it the shovellers clear the sidewalks and along comes the plow and throws it back again only spring can bring a decision v the announcement thasho- annual grants to fall fairs would be continued this year by the provincial government is plain enough evidence that it is the desire of the department for hie fairs of the pro vince to carry on and maintain these institutions which havo cotne to mean a good deal in town and rural community life i even chickens
