eiieumant there are other factor that make for an improved financial condition in acton the high tax rate of other airt wai made neceuary by town expansion nd a leg between the time when taxes caught up with the qrowth program thii year it the year when revenue it catch ing up and e better tax rate it possible the careful timing by council and the installation of tewen this year will not make any appreciable difference in the rate in the years to follow debenture payments on the bulk of waterworks the arena and other items cease this year and the sewer ratet will replace fhts amount in the tax bill in the years to follow the new rate gives a better picture of acton s financial status we enjoyed a ridiculously low assessment here and a consequent high mill rate the unfortunate part of this set up is the fact that the stranger usually docs not bring the mill rate and assessment into consideration when making inquiry and looks only at the mill rate that has now been corrected by the revised assess ment and most everyone is happy over the changed tax structure who wants to fee a drone did you ever meet a healthy man of 65 who looked happily towards the thirtieth of next month when he had to retire for that matter how many people who happen despite their years to be fit and active want to cease being productive members of society just because some rule or regulation say they ought to start draw ing their social security and retire to such menial tasks as baby sitting and tatting the truth of the matter is that putting every body permanently on the shelf at 65 is morally wrong both for the individual and the state the sense of belonging of being a useful productive member of society is as important nay more important than the everlasting search for security medical science has extended the span cf human life only to be frustrated by so called tocial science which decrees that human life ham not be productive after the grim doidline of 65 ri tirement at 65 for man men ind not a ft w w omen nowadays is tantamount to being consignee to the economic scrphtip ask any one who has been required to retire aqunst jus oi her will its high t mp for seme common sense think ing about this business of social insurance with its arbitrary bureaucratic rufes about retirement in carefully measured doses it will keep the economy healthy and the individual happy used tecklessly it will destroy the body politic and kill the individual who wants to be a drone bowmanville statesman what are prime qualification governing a teachers value at the recent annual assembly of the ontario secondary teachers federation a rather remark able conclusion was reported by a committee appointed to consider the question of pay by- merit comments the onllia packettimet the committee hat found that such intangible factors as personality teaching ability influence on the student were difficult to evaluate this will be readily admitted but when the committee pro ceeded to express the opinion that payment for personality wpuld be undemocratic ineffective destructive of good human relations detrimental to teacher morale and hence to the progress of the students one is moved to exclaim demo cracy what crimes are committed in thy name from this the committee proceeded to con sider that there are certain obective merits for which scheduled increases are warranted these ere additional qualifications above the minimum specialist standing postgraduate degrees additional certificates attendance at refresher courses etc to which it can only be remarked that a teacher with personality but who has not had the opportunity to gain all the academic honours may be a much more effective and valuable teacher than others with stringy of degrees as long as your armpersonality teach ing ability and influence on the student being the highest qualification a teacher can have when i comes to choosmg a principal these are the fnmary and supreme considerations as has been admitted it is not easy for a board of fdu cation to differentiate between other teachers on this basis but to rule these qualities out alto qethtr and to set up academic attainments as the only nirnl to le recognized in fixing atarics is to deny reword to the hiyhcit type of it ac tiers and to r ducr the iconom c standards of lh profession to a un form it vmaska average in d x f it y

facts about the health of canadians in no half century in tho history of man has greater progress been made in medical science a baby born in january 1950 has an expected lifespan which is greater by

low tuberculosis control is so effeclive that it is possible to forsec the elimination of this once dread disease pnuemonia has been robbed of many of its terrors and the communicable diseases of childhood have been reduced out of all recognition impressive as the record is we should realize that much remains to be done to achieve similar mastery over cancer arthintis heart disease and
