ihc call comes for more voluntary blood donors for the visit on tuesday next august 31st of the red cross mobile unit this time a hundred donors arc required that means that many new vol unteers will be needed when the voluntary blood donors committee of the red cross jwas first or ganized the quota was 2000 a week with 1200 from ontario it is now 15000 a week with 9000 from on with the battle growing thicker and more canad ians in the front line the need for more blood to save the lives of the wounded becomes greater if you can report early to the committee as a voluntary donor one hundred arc needed next tuesday at the ymca its another call for service of those on the home front v all work and no hay weve been keenly interested in the fine com pany picnics which have been arranged this year by acton industries and of course it has been de monstrated that all uho have participated in them have been more than interested attcr four years of war and each year going on fewer and fewer plea- sures and outings these events have indeed provided u break that will send all back to work with renewed effort and a desire to sec an early completion of the war its an old and true saying that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy for a community that in peacetime had its weekly ball games and hockey three and four nights a week its several garden par ties a year and its periodic holiday celebrations all removed until only the fall fair remained in the year it is safe to say folks are devoting all atten tion to work there was no complain r heard al though it is realized life might become a bit of a humdrum existence we think these outings this year have been splen did and timely we will be much surprised if they do not prove throughout the months that follow a stimulus to greater effort they have at least given all a reminder of some of the outings peacetime used to offer a reminder that present restrictions will gradually be removed and a glimpse again of the kind of life many arc fighting to have maintain cd in canada perhaps in the years since 1939 we have forgotten many of the pleasures enjoyed in peacetime the glimpses provided this year should do much to urge all to hasten again the day of peace when hours for pleasure can more often be inter jected into the daily routine v o unravelling at convention a couple of weeks ago it seemed that every topic discussable was on the agenda there was the british empire health insurance price con trol the national income the scout movement christian education and a few other items dealing fwith the technical part of publishing a newspaper wc came home with so many editorial subjects clam oring for immediate release that we decided not to publish any editorial page last week or until they un ravelled a bit we are not much concerned whether the name british empire is proper or the british common wealth as long as that group stands together for the things that are right and honorable we would like to see good health insured to all and price control is important only as it is understood and obeyed by all so that we may have no repetition of the sad ex periences that have followed inflation periods the scout movement and christian education of course have ideals and training that carried on in life would do the things that should be done we have the ideals and realize the need but apparently lack the ability to bring them to fruition two weeks later were still tangled up and so were back in our own community just again actively interested with the affairs of the folk we know and are close to perhaps if we work to gether on solutions of some of the local problems it will spread in the community then to the com munities of the dominion and communities of nations those ideals will eventually be attained which seem to be so desirable perhaps its been a roundabout way ot arriving at the conclusion that the success of the british em pire health insurance price control national in come boy scouts christian education etc depends on communities arid of individuals and their ability to work together for ideals v site shortage gets more acute a local problem that has been greatly aggravated by war conditions but which was present in acton even before the war is adequate housing for the people who live and work in acton this commun ity has had much industrial expansion but no home building to nearly keep pace with the needs of the extra workers there have been several attempt but somehow thcyhave struck a snag anyway the houses havent developed rapidly yet wc hear of many other municipalities getting assistance and having homes erected where the industries are of a nature that their usefulness will be ended when the war is over acton industries fill a peacetime need as well a a wartime necessity houses built here will be used and occupied in the days of peucc is well as in these present days perhaps an inquiry of what is being done in other towns to meet the situation would prove as a guido toward solution here many workers now live outside the municipality and travel to and from work by bus service it makes their hours often unduly long it is becoming now that the only security of not having to move is in owning a homo and even the saleable ones are getting scarce v the one opportunity to visit within a few weeks acton fair will be the final local event for the season prize lists are now ready for distribution and indications are that in many respects the fair will surpass other years although the hall exhibit will be missed by many folks need to meet once in a while just now they have such good reason for cheerful conversa tion the community needs an outing when facili ties for travel are so hampered the fall fair pro- ides this meeting place given good weutherit is an outing that few will want to miss being stag ed on the weekend it means that those in industry can plan to attend acton fair without loss of time acton fair is on september 17th and 18th this year v editorial notes war 25 years ago with just a little over u week until school opens and fall fair time sturting nevt month summer can be considered about over v its beep a remarkable summer plenty of rains to keep the lawns gardens and crops growing and not a serious interference with harvesting v remember those who serve on issuing ration books arc voluntary unpaid workers its your job to do your share to secure your new book this week v honey jams and marmalade are to come under rationing which has now come to mean equal dis tribution to all generally rationing is more wel come today v of course the folks who have in two years sup ply of fuel face the chance that the price may be lower when they come to use it but the fellow with out any of this years fuel on hand has a bigger gamble on comfort v with the better news from all war fronts it seems only natural that people should gather again in acton park the functions there have been a pretty small percentage in recent years of what they were in years prior to the war v we want a land where without loss of freedom or the restriction of opportunity the weak and the unfortunate will not fail to
