the acton free press thuitspay may 20u 1m3 ojhrarfamrrrljrrbb rfc fin ft auhmxii 57- c amjor ttxefbohks- the attack is backed canada has completed successfully the biggest financial job in its history the 1100000 asked for has been more than subscribed in the fourth victory loan inthat endeavor acton and the dis trict have again contributed a share to the success by subscribing better than asked as this is writ ten complete details are not available either for the community county or dominion and may not be finished for some days all have done well their part more canadians than ever before have assisted in making this loan ii greater achievement that has been true also in this community again in nearly every instance former bond holders became subscribers for creased amounts in this loan every industry in acton reached its quota to those workers in this and every community who are called on and respond willingly in so many of the demands on their time and talents goes a large measure of credit for the success attended they have done well their task here results indi cate that the same is true of most parts of the dom inion all too often these workers are unfairly criti cized during the campaign all too often they arc overlooked when the task has been successfully ac complished it requires work and sticking to the job when the going is tough it means determina tion when others sit back and say it cant be done it is not the weak and easily discouraged who bring this success and in this time of victory their work merits any praise that is given it is indeed a happy time as we arc again able to write so that those who serve on distant battlefields may read that canada is backing the attack and that acton and the district has taken its share of the home iront struggle were backing the attack v at least not cooperauve at the risk of being condemned by every school boy or girl or the many folk who do enjoy that first holiday of summer the twentyfourth of may we cannot help but agree with council in thoir de cision against having it as a civic holiday in acton not that we do not like a holiday and most especially that one that comes just as summer should be start ing and it is the first time of year to get out-of- doors under other than present circumstances we would be the first to oppose the taking away of the twentyfourth holiday whether all do realize it or not canada is at wur products of our fields and factories are needed on every war front stoppage of production across the dominion- for a day means curtailment of needed supplies our government is faced with this problem and has proclaimed only six legal holidays this year those who urge and believe in an allout war effort bee the consistency of this plan on the fighting front there are no legal holidays it is rather remarkable to notice thai in many cities and towns the day has been proclaimed a civic holiday and proclamations have been issued cal ling for observance of the day until we on tho home front are prepared to abide by dominionwide rulings affecting statutory holidays there is little consistency in our clamor for more war fronts this is no time fora division on our war effort after victory has come we can again observe with all the tradition imaginable that grand holiday the twenty fourth of may if victory doesnt come hitlers birthday will be observed whether we like it or not or whether it cornea at the right time of year we do not say ifa disloyal to observe victoria day this year but proclaiming it as civic holiday can hardly be termed cooperative in the war effort v km tua field cham under the beading of no place for party poli tics the financial post makes this very apt com ment the increasingly evident tendency to introduce parry politics into municipal elections draws some pungent criticism id- the 1943 year book of the citi zens research institute of canada which observes there is no liberal or conservative or ccf or social credit way of paving a sidewalk building a highway constructing a dam faying a sewer or con structing a sty hall or parliament buildings as pointed out by the- citizens- research insti tute good local government is almost entirely a mat ter of good administration while there may be honest differences of opinion as to what constitutes good administration such disputes need have no political overtones the municipal field offers useful training ground for those who wish to serve in a bigger political sphere but the intrusion of parry politics into municipal affairs would mean an expansion of the powers of party machines that would lead to grave abuse v wartime ifouaerjeaning in these days when salvage is so much in demand and when the ordinary course of the season demands a discarding and clearing away generally known as housecleaning we arc like others who get the urge some way or other we never seem to get very far and the war has a good deal to do with it we have one corner of tho desk that is fairly well piled with victory loan material w call it the current events corner because we always aim to have everything relative to the campaign or subject that i- current in the community stacked in that corner thats worked all right until now beforewe just filed the other material from that corner into some other section and now tho sections are full when we toss some now materia to its proper sec tion it doesnt always stay there we have war directives stacks of house of commons debates art icles from many pens on how to win the war and what to do when it is won we have addresses by tho prime ministers and others who would be the problem grows each time we discard a few extra basketfuls of this fine material here we are with all these directions for victory how to cat what we cant get what canada is doing and what canada should be doing how can an editor house- clean even if one had- the time until after the war is over every time the material refuses to say in place we sincerely wish the day would soon come when that big bonfire could be kindled v ed1tob1al- notes the week at ottawa the most important thing to see to after this war is won is that we never have another lord hluux v even if it isnt a holiday the 24th of may can still be considered earlyleiough to take the first dip in swimming v beer rationing came into effect this week un like your gasoline ration book the one for beer does not cost a dollar v its an ill wind that blows no one good the back ward season gave the dogs an extra two wejeks of liberty but the last day was may 15th v it is quite evident that those who supported the slogan no beer no bonds werent the bond buyers of canada anyway most folks cant buy both in big quantities v victory gardens are much the same at what used to be commonly known as the family garden they ure no novelty to those who never gave up that plan of helping the family budget v ontario has a new premier hon harry c nixon and it seems the general wish of most fjplks that he uill carry on for the present without the need of an election he was the popular choice of a big conven tion anyway v we have been saved by the blunders of our enemies our blunders stand out like the peaks of the grampian mountains but the blunders of the germans stand out like the pealcs of the himalayas lord strabolgi in the house of lords v to naaoagawcya

challenge of the times fadns them despite labor and other diffi culties the annual survey of far mers intentions says tho dominion bureau of statistics indicates that the program mapped out april 30 by agriculturists if carried through ex ceeded the 1943 objectives recom mended at the dominion provincial agricultural conference held here last december it was suggested at the conference that wheat acreage be further reduc ed and more e war crops seed ed on the land taken out of wheat that oals and barley acreage be in creased by about 12 per cent over the 1942 level and that the acreage in forage crops be increased by 17 per cent in alfalfa and eight per cent in hay and clover the d b s reports that the april 3q survey points to an increase of 13 per rent in oat acreage and 1c per cent in barley acreage- how twr farmers are warned that the current and prospective demand for livestock and livestock and poultry products is so heavy that north am ericas immense harvest of 1m2 which seemed to have provided ample feed for n long time ahead now looks less impressive as the growing animal population rati us way into the stock piles itnlted htatea demand though the total supply of wheat and other grains still is large in can ada and the united stales good crop will be needed in 1943 at the present rate of disappearance to ensure margin of safety for the food produc tion programs projected for 1944 united states growers have sold mi rnuch wheat for animal feed in the past six months from a surplus once described as colossal that tho united states government has enter ed the canadian market for addition al supplies and so far has purchased 7250000 bushels it is considered likely that this de mand will continue but the amount of wheat purchased from canada by american authorities in future will depend largely upon the availability of transportation equipment following out the recommendation that oats acreage be increased trade minister mackinnon has announced that the oats quota restriction has been removed at 576 delivery points the maximum wheat delivery quota also is becoming raised from 14 to is bushels an authorized acre training takes time indication that national selective service authorities attach importance to the length of time required to train workers for skilled trades was given in the announcement from van couver that experienced loggers and miners now working in british co lumbia shipyards were being trans ferred to their former occupations selective service director aruthr mncnamaro raid here that the train ing of skilled woodunen and miners takes longer than the instruction re quired to fit men for shipyard em ploymetit and because of the shortage of loggers and miners particularly coal miners with experience men who followed these trades hfcfore taking up shipyard work were being trans ferred in the early da of the present year logging operators in british co lumbia complained that men were leaving their camp in the hope of ob taining employment in shipyards at higher pay and doing bo even when there wan no immediate prospect of such work for thorn now the government has moved to remedy this situation and one effect of the transfer has been that pacific coast shipyards how are advertising with the approval of selective n vice for skilled shipwrights from tho prairie provinces
