brought from stanley knowlea ccv menoker for winnipeg north centre the comment that canada should participate to the fullest pos sible extent in the relief of races persecuted and rendered homeless by nazi aesresslon and its results it seems rather odd that with a provincial elec tion in the next few weeks we should hear so little of provincial matters and so much talk of dominion affairs we have had the privilege of scanning some of the platforms and proposed changes held out as bait for the public we have not yet seen either liberal conservative or ccf mention of the stand they propose to take on one of our most important provincialpblemsr a semblance ofcontrolof the sale of intoxicating beverages we havent seen the issue mentioned by one of these parties but we can find health insurance farm help mothers allowances and everything else men tioned one wouldbe leader winds up a radio ad dress with this sentence for the sake of our splen did youth let each oneof us decide to make ontario strong so that we may bo ready when that day comes to march forward to the opportunities which lie ahead now isnt that a noble ending and yet he doesnt offer to improve conditions in regard to the sale of intoxicating liquor in ontario that will keep our youth strong and able to march and not stagger for ward into these glorious opportunities of a better day- we havent seen any proposals from any of the parties seeking election to better present condi tions which they all know need improvement per haps electors can guess why this hands off attitude is taken by all parties and why the smoke screen of health mothers allowances farmer coddling and anything else is laid down for this election next month for ontario x we doubt if there is one or the heads ot the three parties seeking election who will dare to make a statement of the policy of his party on this issue which is doing more to impede canadas war effort than any other question over which the provincial government has jurisdiction is this leadership 1 v an opportunity for service it is quite evident thatthe present system of county equalization is highly unsatisfactory inhalton county only the patriotic motive of curtailing ex pense in municipal uffuirs in wartime has averted c court hearing for several yean many say openly that the agreement made to avert equalization court costs have not been lived up to and evidence would seem to bear this out certainly the present year to year changes are not going to abide uf tety the vfar it is not too early for provincial and county bodies to give some study to this problem we do not believe that halton is the only county that has equalized assessment adjustment on its agenda every year surely there is a less costly way than the pres ent proceedings to settle these differences of op it ion county councils have in ontario passed on inany resolutions for the attention of other govern ing bodies here indeed is a problem upon which their experience ought to be of vital guidance in making legislation that would be fair to all v marking local history the interest attaching to historic sites grows with the years just recently the historic sites and monuments board of canada was asked to take over the maintenance of the 140yearold halifax town clock built by queen victorias father milestone places in the history of the dominion are for the most part well marked but the beginning and de velopment of small town and country life is not so well commemorated too often the inauguration of community life a aha rt aaal atatple

but is unmarked in the plans for these days ahead to which we all look forward w must not neglect the effort of mr nietaoo unity member the past that has established us in our present day i tor north uattleford offered the position we do not urge new undertakings but it iit t does seem reasonable that we shall maintain present day accomplishment v last before yea lavest in between victory loan periods we are apt to forget the impulse which guided the purchase of vic tory loan bonds then too there is the danger to lose the money to irresponsible promoters who may lure your savings into an investment that is worth less these savings of yours and fine securities of victory bonds are always prime lures for racketeers with their schemes for persuading people to cash in their bonds and turn- the money over to them on irresponsible promises of getting rich quick commenting on this the ottawa better business bureau offers this sound advice if you are urged to cash in your bonds for in vestment in an unknown proposition watch out carefully investigate the offer for these good rea sons i it may be a racket 2 it is real patriot ism to keep the war bonds you buy 3 these bonds arc one of the best investments you can make v brtermlne your rations the next few weeks will determine what the ra tions in canadian homes will be during the winter lts harvest time in canada for various crops until next fall how we gather and store that harvest de termines how we will be fed just because humans dont eat hay or oats doesnt mean they have no in terest in these crops without them we wont have any beef or milk and several other farm products there is something that can be done to help make sure of next winters supplies labor to gather in the crops is short the war has depleted the farms of much of the help just as it has other industries perhaps you can spare a day or a half day or a fev hours evenings to help garner the crops that nature is now and will undoubtedly continue to provide this season there is no opportunity lacking to use this spare time the machinery has been made operative here many farmers and helpers came together with profit lo both in last farm season if you cannot help on tho second front in the war zone you can be a farm commando and do valiant service in harvesting food supplies mr f l wright is again acting as secre tary for this work this year if workers and farmers give him their cooperation this section of ontario will meet the demand required v editorial notes the next holiday is one that the municipalities have control over making monday july 5th a civic holiday doe not stop the first monday in august from also being proclaimed a civic holiday v acton public school again attained its record of all pupils successful at the entrance

to fcnlnale with them jaaaawa yj aan so far mr kin has not replied to the request of a w ketu independ ent member for cumokalbernl that he make a declaration against the future entry of japanese into

that it regards the presence of japanese in the coastal area as undesirable widely divergent views have been expreed in the past upon the form which canadas immigration policy should take many eople
