the acton free press thuhsday may lilt 105e were road famous aclon is well known for its roads evatywhore we moot people out of town and mention acton ihoyflndtiomorcommonfton our road scwerago installation it no small task and calls for a littlt tolerance which acton citizens have been giving but we are beginning to think thaf acton has better roads than before the sewerage installation driving through neighbouring communities that started the ob long before this municipality we find th6 roads in much worso condition paving on the main streets will bo under way hcnly mill st the crushed stone on the side streets has given the roads a fine top that will when com plctoly packed in leave an excellent surface the main street has been left with not too heavy a coating of stone because of plans to re surface and the possibility of cutting the road down in some places some water services are to before the pavincj and there should be no cause to disrupt the pavement for some years out of the temporarily bad roads comes one bright thing a lot more people know where acton is seldom do you meet onyone who hos been through the town lately that doesn t re member it think of the surprise they will get when they breeze through on a new pavement when they breeze through on a new pavement we sincerely hope that when the roads are re placed motorists will continue to drive carefully through acton having the some regard for our safety as they have had for their own comfort and their car breakage acton is well known in spite of or despite the roads up up up longwiith other things on the upward dol lor climb postal rates took a ump recently there had been a large deficit in operating costs and so rates jumped we agree they should patiently we have also hoped for an improve ment in service not local but in those places where mail is seemingly forgotten protests have been coming to our office regularly protesting the arrival of the home town paper toronto resi dents receive their issue o the paper on a range of from fr day which is f ne to the following wednesday wh ch is terridie this s by no mean d local problem the papers leae oj c r tor the town post

weerty newspaper across canada are finding it an important problem the canadian weekly newspapers assoc dtion has been delving into it but no results as yet if you art one of the readers who is being effected by late delivery in the cities or other centres feel free to let us know about it do al low reasonable time for delivery but if the day of arrival of your paper is irregular there must be something seriously wrong in the postal delivery an increase in price i usually to retain ser vice or odd to it we do wish that the postal rate increase- would do one of these thing canadas major industry traffic was heavy over the week end on highways this is usl another of the heralds of a coming holiday season when cars busc and trains carry people on tht ir annual week or two of summer v ication with summer vacation come the season of tourists this to canadian is on important con sideration since the tourist industry i one of canada s resources visitors from south of the border will be dashing along our highways eat ing in our restaurants and hotel and generally contributing to the employment of canadians in the tourist industry canadians in gener il bem f ifted from tht expenditure of some 260 000 us dollar in 1 950 this amount spent by tourist from the united states was a decrease of 8 000 000 over o corresponding 1919 period no longer do ust big fistf attract the united states visitor it tike court sy pit is int comfortable accommodation ind extr i it r vices to make the vacation in canada a successful one this town is not famous as a tourist lesort it probably never will be still tht tourist industry in canada is an important contribution to the life of this community indirectly the american people constitute our major travel market and more of them were in canada last year than ever before canada is important to us and wo mutt help her development and growth by making amen jean travellers and holidayers feel welcome in our community and our country broken bodies this morninq 1500 canadian men and wo- men didnt start work they didnt punch in at the factory toko their trucks out on the road greet the rich farmland or gb down the mine shaft they were indusrlal accident victims yes terday besides thosemndustnal accidents there are motor fatalities and accidents injuring pedei tnans and passengers this year road accidents have been on the increase they have every year they climb and climb until this year there has been many more and they climb sharper and steeper a motorist need only attend several car accidents before they realize the grim reality awaiting them when they take a car on the high ways it is faf from pleasant to see broken bodies severely damaged or their life snuffed out com pletely new cars in which are combined tnechanical skills of men ore no pretty sight with their grills smashed windshields broken and sitting on their top where they rolled in the ditch r any policeman ambulance driver or reporter will tell you a bloody story of cars and their accidents but how many would listen how many motorists know the danger they are toying with when they push their foot further on the accelerator most accidents don t ust happen they have a reason and that reason is quite often careless ness it isn t just the careless people that suffer in an accident the innocent careful driver is often involved incleed often killed summer is here and the traffic is increasing tourists will be roaming across and to the north of canada every motorist should add to the beauty and attractiveness of this country by driv ing carefully from another weekly paper we gleaned the following motorists prayer give it some careful thought grant me a steady hand and watchful eye that no one may be hurt when i pass by thou gavest life i pray-no- act of mine may take away or mar that gift of thine guard those dear lord who bear me com pany from roadway dangers and calamity teach me to use my car for others need nor miss through undue haste or love speed the beauties of this world that thus 1 may with joy and courtesy go on my way just a second deari let me get it in befohe vou take it out the good old days may

need to ask for every community has them folk who are shut m through age disability and various types of illness not only are they confined to the house hospitals or other institutions but many cannot even leave their beds they ail are com pelled to lead a restricted life and some of them readily admit that only the kindness of friends and the consideration of visitors enables them to remain normal
