paok two ine act6n mrr press thursday july 12th ubi heavy on the power according to the latest municipal load sum mary of municipalities acton folks are heavy usrs of hydro power taken on an average for the number of consumers wo doubt if few towns i roclcabye baby irrontsno eomenear thorltoof utothe figures are given for april 1951 in the recent issue of hydro news and show acton has 925 consumers and the peak load was 2615 georgetown with 1356 consumers had a load of 2552 milton with 869 consumers had a load of 1966 bur lington with 2014 consumers had a peak load of 2546 and oakville with 2121 consumers ran up 4153 fergushad 1078 consumers for a load of 1863 the figures are of course- explained by the fact of actons heavy industrial load and the use ihe industries in acton make of hydro this will be noted all through the figures given in the load summary of the municipalities for instance hespelcr with 1147 consumers had a peak load cf 3629 k w the figures for the towns of halton show that this county has a heavy trend toward more industry which is only natural for its location near the distributing centres of toronto and hamilton it s a long way from when acton s load was about 100 kw to the present acton has shown great s in industri growth and with it the town has kept pace in rendering population te trend to small towns industrial expansion in ontario continues at a breath taking rate with the emphasis on docen tralization col the hoj william gnesmger ontario minister of planning and development disclosed recently m releasing the annual review of the trade and industry branch the report submitted to the minister by director f j lyle listed major expansions and ew plant developments of record during 1950 and remarked on two steadily developing trends 0 choice of smaller towns and cities by a maionty of companies establishing new plants and plant additions 2 grow th of manufacturing as the pre dominant factor in the ontario economy mr lyle developed the statement that indus try was showing greater interest in smaller towns and cities by citing the record of new branch plants established in the province last year of 11 new plants no fewer than 51 chose locations outside the provinces largest industrial area a number of factors influenced this trend including the availability and cost of housing and labour the trade and industry branch director reported close proximity to consumer markets will always be an influencing factor in some types of production and in heavy manufac turing the source of materials also counts heav ily but a substantial number of manufacturing enterprises prefer favourable locations in smaller towns and cities a glance at the annual report shows that acton was prominent in the small town group of which mr lyle speaks listed in the new de velopments are a p greene fire brick co and in plant extensions the acton machine shops and foundry and micro plastics community workers with the tourist season on us and american cars a familiar scene on the highways our eyes may be focussed on what are sometimes termed tourist towns or centres to which the visitors or holidayers are attracted because of natural sur roundings braccbridgt is an mportant lounstcentre for this reason but another contribut ng factor s a l ide iyvukt aqtive interested chamber of com merce working m the community interest they are also working in their own interests an advertisement in the bracebndge paper asks citizens to park their cars off tht mam mrctt during the summer months as a courtesy to tourists as another courtesy tlfcy don t have parking mtters cither that is ust asmall courtesy for a tourist town backechiu community workers under the title of hambler of commerce conditions vary in all towns but where then is an active chamber of commerce composed of energetic workers many improvements can be made where there is no such organization the heavier toad falls on the shoulders of the coun cil debenture ctebls in munlctpnllluft havo long been oxpecled to end each auditor ft report points out that eventually the muulclpnlity will be free of all incumhorancea in ih form of ih benturcir- a cooksvillo councillor recently polnlod lo the doubling debenture debt in toronto town ship nd the reeve said were fjolno too far too fast a ratepayer said it was only a matter of time before township financing is taken over by the ontario municipal board we dont regard the cooksvllle gentlemen ns authorities on the question but in complaining of the subject they aro repeating an oft heard beef the alarming statement of thk three is the one that suggests the municipal board will soon be taking over township financing this is another cry for governmental spoon feeding you hear them every day why dont wo have rent control wage control price control and any number of other controls municipalities elect roprosontativos to coup- cil each year their duty is to conduct the busl ness of the town or township and in most of the cases they do it without extensive remuneration the ontario municipal board is a body gov erning the municipalities in almost every binding thing thov do or undertake all by laws must be submitted jo them for approval including mon ey by laws and a cooksville ratepayer suggests that soon all township financing will be taken over by the municipal board when did they stop the main thing is they never did stop but ap parently we are growing so accustomed to con trols we are unable to recognize their beginning and their end controleand extonsivo controls aro govern mental spoon feeding and when those in gov ernments cease to be servants taking the place of masters is when john public wakes up in the cradle again we always believed that whitewash was term that implied an easy victory until we tackled the application of the substance on basement walls we now have new respect for the term a dose of laziness in moderation laziness can be one of the most delightful sensations on ewth and not omtthinti to be ashamed of as its presently re o trek d certainly it has fallen into low esteem with the mm who works himself info the doc tor s office and the woman who is olways flut tering at something seeming due citation for general praise and nervous breakdowns the proof of an active life i lets forget about praise and proof i its holi day time and hot its the season for some good commonsense laziness and lets enpy itl no sneaked siestas inside where the neighbours cant draw conclusions from your prone form and any luxuriant weeds in the garden bundle your holiday jobs into a few days and then enoy a good rest certainly it would je bad if we fell into a mental slump induced by over eighty tempera tures but during the week or two of legalized laziness this summer lets let our minds relax save up the threat of communism high cost of living taxes and all the other problems till the first day back to work it seems a reasonable conclusion that after a restful holiday we will be even more able to cope with business and world problems we hope we ii find it that way meanwhile we ii give ourselves the benefit of the doubt and recommend to everyone a dose of ust as much laziness as feasible during holi days this yeir a change is as good as a rest they say and where a vacationist incorporates both double benefit should surely result this office will be closed from july 36 till august 7 and there will be no paper published that week while we en0y our prescribed la ness sunday july 15th lol jo 00njirusundnysehool junior have you lcrt the corral gate okn again the
