be interested with the time of year coming around when muni cipal offices must bo riled for another term ratepay ers may well give attention to making sure that men who have shown an interest in the municipality are urged to assume these positions of rcsponsiblity and trust more than ever men with a broad outlook not only on the immediate present but upon future municipal welfare are needed in these positions men who have experience and a vision of the tuture should be approached to offer their services in any municipality these men are known to all citi zens if they are in office and you know they have done a good job for the town do not hesitato to tell them so and urge them to continue often too often such men put in long hours attending to the affairs that belong to every ratepayer without much praise flrtd quite often a lot of condemnation it doesnt hurt to let them know when their work is appreciated as well as when it does not find favor j above all when nomination day rolls around at least show interest by appearing at the proceedings communities are built best when all citizens take an active interest in these matters and its hardly fair to ask them to do all the work of the year when wo are not prepared to give attention for one evening in the year the future of our municipality is mould ed by the men wc put into office the past has a splendid record but we are the custodians of the present and let it not be said that we failed our day and generation we write this well in advance of municipal elec tion time purposely because forethought on such matters has proven most valuable its our com munity lets be interested in it v we hope our friends read this we owe a lot of letters and in that respect wo presume there is nothing unique about such a predi cament but some additional responsibilities lately assumed seem to make it impossible to write these letters for a time at least we would be indeed lax however if we did not acknowledge tho kind things that have been said about us by our fellow editors in the weekly field and by friends in both milton and acton when we assumed editorship of an addi tional newspaper failing to write these letters now we hope those friends will take in lieu of the per sonal note this acknowledgement of our appreciation our only hope is that the future in both municipali ties will merit half of these kindly references v let it be different this time there seems to be no end to the ways in which those at home can serve these days for instance- there is tho daily thing in whvcn every individual can assist that is maintaining our price ceilings and staving off inflation we have yet to meet the man or woman who will admit that he or she wants even mild inflation and yet wc see not only individ uals but big groups of people who consciously or perhaps heedlessly do the things and urge the mea sures that bring about inflation the regrettable part is that always the producer and wageearner get the short end when inflation comes and yet they often play into the schemes that bring on inflation we have only to look back at the last war to see the evils vof inflation a short period of big sums of money passing through your hands and then a deeper period of depression for those who are tempted to urge higher prices for their commodities it will be well to remember that once the vicious circle gets undei way and everybody plays the game of higher prices for all it is worth nobody wins as reminder of last wars inflation we noted the store window in milton of r c cunningham where the prices today on variquilriicles are shown very clearly with those paid in the last war it brought the message homo and remember that in tho last war the working man wasnt the big boirovfcolder at tho finish he paid during the war and after it the big financiers held mos o ca bonds 1 see that its different this time v early holiday mailing now that the christmas overseas parcels are all sway it is important too that you do your christmas mailing in canada as early as possible the folks who ordinarily wait until a week or two before christmas before buying and sending gifts an greetings will cause great congestion of postal work if they adhere to this habit this year a time of labor shortage is one in which it will be hard to get mail handled and delivered promptly some people have always bought their gifts at a late date because as they said they did not have the money to buy the things before this year with national income greatly increased regular work gen eral and many people getting big pay it should be easier to buy earlier one would think most people could as well get their christmas gifts within a very short time and get them off promptly hard worked postal people would look at such a change as a godsend v the war comet home tho grim shadow of tho casualty list has fallen over canada her soldiers march in their first campaign for four years canadian airmen gave their lives in europes skies sailors died in guarding the north atlantic life line but until now tho army saw only sporadic action hong kongs catastrophe fell like a flashing knife- stroke dieppe was one fatal day sicilys sixweek task ended before its cost was counted for the first time canada begins to realize the oppressive cost of freedom bought with lives col umn on column from italy come the names of dead and maimed they carry none of the heartwarming glitter of troops marching off to battle tho war has become more than a hectic round of bigger wages bettor jobs and higher prices with tho battle half -a- workl away a new meaning has come into the headlines newsreel shots and radio talks ration restrictions become all top reasonable factory overtimo seems little enough to do at last tho war has come homo and many a canadian wonders whether he is doing his part buying a bond becomes no sacrifice when the next- door family mourns a sort v a parents have a responsibility a writer in the saskatchewan farmer states that in some communities the latest method of dealing with the problem of juvenile delinquency is to hold parents responsible for their children a curfew is set and if children or adolescents are found on tho streets after that time the parents are brought into court and either fined or given some other punitive sentence this plan has much to commend it and is a reasonable course of procedure in some respects ut least it is surely not unreasonable to hold that parents should be held responsible if they allow their children to run wild after all they should know the evil consequences that are almost certain to result from tho lack of control and discipline m the home tho children have not reached tho age of under standing and are therefore not in a position to esti mate these consequences at their true value if there is to be any punishment at all should it not fall on the shoulders of the parents rather than he visited on tho children it hats been suggested that such punishment woud tend to improve relations in the home this might bo the case but it would at any rate awaken the parents to a keener sense of their duty and responsibility for the good behaviour of their children proper control supervision and direction of the children in the home would go far to curb juvenile delinquency and give the state a better class of citizens in the years to come anything that can be clone to awaken parents to their responsibility for tht good behaviour of their children should meet with general approval the training of childhood should not be left entirely to tho school and the church and this unfortunately is just what too many parents ure doing v editorial notes mums woid now as seamen gather the snow and freezeup have not improved that highway between acton and milton not that wc expected any marked improvement from any direc tion until the postwar period v with christmas just five weeks away attention is justified to the gift season and remember that our local stores can best all your needs try them first and save time and needless travel v the tax assessors office had to decide on which side of the canadaunited states
