page two t l the acton free press rlluhsday june 7lh ittj its your money the abuso of public properly is often nppnl ling and especially to those who foot the bills wo doht suppose the misfits who are respon eiblo for most of the depredations rood editorial comment but we wrife in the hope that the ap peal may roach parents or those responsible for the decent upbringing of children acton has a fine park councils have ovqr the years spent money on making it more at tractive a number of picnic tables were sup plied small structures were built for dressing for those who bathed in fairy lake the picnic tables have been thrown in the water and used for rafts the boards have boon torn off the dressing houses until there is only the frame work loft the old grandstand continues to take o beating but there fsn t much use in replacing it and spending more of the taxpayers money until those responsible for damage learn to respect public property and leave it so it can be used for the enoyment of all it s all very discouraging atiha verybadlndtcatiorrofsomcacton homes we wouldn t blame any ratepayer for ad ministering some punishment to culprits who are apprehended in view of the act that punishment through the processes of law seems so invplved it s your money that is being wasted and abused if you want your property respected it looks as if latepayers will need vigilance to combat plain rowdyism and destructiveness the elder brothers we have never agreed wilh ninety per cent of the sermons preached on that pet sermon of the prodigal son but like the ministers and most newspapers we have been guilty of giving publicity to those boys and girls who have left home and made a success and often forgotten those who have stayed at home and made a big contribution to building up their home commun ity we are proud of course of the hometowners rho have made good in the cities although acton and its adacent districts have a large quota of success stones concerning men and women who left here and made their mark in their particular fields bf endeavour the boys and girls who stayed behind should not be forgotten the stay at home groups have some times been referred to as forgotten heroes as they carry on in their modest and quiet way with out fanfare publicity or self glorification yet in many cases they are the salt of the earth the foundation and corner stone on which citizenship has been built in this great and growing nation yes there are scores of home town and dis trict boys and girls who have not been swayed by the far away green fields but have remain ed at home and have done and are doing a good job in factory business or profession some of them never had the opportunity to leave their home town others did not want to since they felt their opportunity was here others left only to return the home town boys and girls who made good are not always in some place a good many of them are right now doing good work in bet tering their community and lots more of them will be nere in future generations we sincerely hope time changes viewpoints its been quite a while since we discussed editorially the north halton high school district our position as a member of the board and editor of the local papers in two of the lowns in the district has been uniquo and some times a bit of a problem in view ot the change as ndicated at present

three lowns of almost identical s zv in the d strict none were prepared to yield their prestige or local patriot ism or wtiatever you may call it and the accomp lishmenl of one central site could not be settled it would appear the public are prepared to pay for this maintenance of local rather jhan central ized institutions 3 the continued growth of not only the towm but alto the townships would

ary education constitutions it has never been our desire to thwart the leadership of olectod govornmontsor the will of the public wo always feel it a duty to present the issues as wo see therm for public udgmonf we readily agree that wo aro human fn our decisions and not infalllblo the trend of central ized cducationakfacilitios has changed in the past five years and ot our ago we aro content to swim with the tide rather than against it and hopeful of being able to meet our share of tho costs to have the things apparently most desirod we do earnestly hope the various depart ments of municipal and provincial governments will too find agreement now that the north hal- ton district board has come to unanimity leadership demands respect leaders who demand respect are men of character this is particularly true of youth to clay a young soldier will follow the leader he respects and has confidence in through thick and thin a school boy relies almost entirely on the leadership portrayed by his teacher an athlete whether engaged in a game of hockey or in run ning the hurdles will study the pattern of those who are adept at that brand of sport members of the rank and file in politics municipal or pro vincial admire a man in whom they have con fidence h therefore behooves leaders in all walks of life to set a good example especially where youth is concerned leaders must have a stabil ity of character and if placed in positions of trust they should act in such a manner as to always command respect and admiration happy the leader who carries out the duties of his office in a manner which at all times calls for steadfast support on the part of those with whom he comes in contact woe to the leader v ho succeeds in climbing to a position of trust and respect in the community province or nation and then spoils everything by getting the idea that he is indispensable and can get away with looseness of character and habits which lower his status m the eyes of the youth or the people who elevated him to that position a leader must always be steadfast and true and to a certain degree exemplary in his habits bowmanville c i o hereafter higgins lets repair

thursday jum 6th 1ioi pn of thursday jum 4thll another phase of life the local high school and the public schools will soon be closing for the summer vacation and final midsummer examinations will commence in a couple of weeks colleges are already dis missed for the term with graduation exercises the order yes another graduation time is again here at this time of the year young people are faced with decisions of great importance to them and to the country those who graduate from our schools this year must decide at once what vocation they will follow within a few years they must make up their minds about marrying and founding a family and from now on they are charged witi a certain responsibility for the development of canada all this requires that they set up a philosophy of life if they have not l iready done so the graduates have passed through chosen courses matriculation science philosophy arts engineering and so on the next course is in survival not physical survival because that is coillpara lively easy in this age but survival as fiee milii and women getting great satisfaction out of life afti r a cciupu of utks continu ous ri st iht strut sprinkler is on its rounds
