paob two the acton free press acfon ontario tiiiiiikday dkckmiikh ii iii being lawabiding to bo doslgnalod as a law abiding citizen was always considered a much rospoctod lorm boing such a citizen in these days often sorely trios the patlonce of those who would llko to bo lawabid ing for instance recently we hoard of a nearby farmer who livos alono and was visited by a group of hoodlums who broke 17 window panos in his home he had a shotgun in tho homo and was tempted to uso it but was deterred bocauso he was a law abidingcitizen recently a bunch of lads wore approhondod in a placo into which they forcod entry material taken from other broakins was found with them they woro takon to court and tho lads woro dis charged after they had agreod to pay tho costs of the court every polico officor has had timos of frustration in which ho had tho fooling that tho law was hardly a court of ustico aaanyfcltios and towns hnvo in rocont yoars seen mob rulo provall whon strikes woro in pro- gross all too ofton law enforcement has broken downrind tho lawabiding citizon has had llttlo or no protection we dont advocato taking tho law in your own hands but wo do boliovo that too ofton our courts givo tho bonofit to tho culprits against lawabiding citizens wrong doing re quires punishment and our polico courts are tho place for punlshmont to be handod out boforo wo havo a development of more characters such as suchan and jackson and others who becomo sor- ious criminals because their minor offences wore not chocked you will ncicr ind time or aniitmno if you want time you must make it clwrlcj buxton proven best most of us can recall when municipal elections wore invariably items which came in tho yearend holiday season municipal affairs were often a subject for discussion at tho family holiday gather ings that custom has been changed and now oory municipality in halton county holds the elections in early december even toronto whore municipal voting was a tradition of new years day has finally come into the fold of getting tho municipal fuss cleared away before the holiday season we doubt if any one would want to go back to tho old ptan again of yearend elections true tho present system does make a sort of lame duck month of municipal activity in december but usually no new business is introduced in the last monthof the year anyway custom changes are usually gradual and that is perhaps well but having proven satisfactory the early election dates are likely to stick vhi do i dislike thr tvrm hoortt to vie if stintus jwist aftimidrs o time titicri canadians nrrrr really lnlieicd that ririr prosperity iron id iait morgan reid raht simpson co greek word for nonvoters if you trace the word fdiot youll find it comes from the greekliduptes according to the greeks the idiotes were citizens who did no voting this makes just as much- sense today as it did in ancient athens or sparta a canadian citi zen who does not use his right to vote is an idiot in using the term we will not go quite so far as popular usage does but rather turn to the original greek which meant an ignorant person elections are over in our municipalities you hear many names used by many people in the heat of an election perhaps it is just as well t save some of the words until ifter and get names for those who do not vote it is not unusual to hear ciliens berating of fice holders and government policies local and nationwide upon enquiry one usually finds a great mionfy of the grouchcis the dissatisfied and discontented are nonvoters in the fast analysis the fitness of our elected representatives and their ability to give us sound gpvernmeilt on every level depends on the rate payers and all who have the privilege ofcasting a ballot it is when the voters neglect to cast their ballot that too often the unsatisfactory and the subversive gain power being first itjjas boon mado apparent in north halton high school district that for us educational frills are out aflor five yoars of falling to ngroo on a pioposal it was rather athock to loam that whon cgroomont had boon roachod by board and muni cipalities tho plan did not moot with approval by tho doparlment of education auditorium gym nasiums which havo boon iho part of evory now building in evory vlllago from 700 population up wards aro not to bo part of iho prosont buildings proposod in any of tho towns of north halton dis trict it reminds us of a lot of storlos ibat havo boon told about prodicamonts that folks find thomsolvos in whoro sovoral groups aro involved and thoro are many opinions to bo consolidated thoro is no point howovor in going into all theso opinions and plans of tho past a proposal has boon mado to moot prosont day noeds in tho district lots get on with tho plan now as it has boon approved it is to bo hoped that buildings erected under iho proposal will bo flexible enough to allow for expansion to moot tho needs of jho fuluro wo voted for acceptance of tho pro posal whon tho board considorod tho mattor last thursday because wo aro of tho opinion that a start must be mado for oxpansion of all throe schools it appears this district is tho first in cities and towns to encountor tho economy wovo of educa tional expenditure but it appears some place must bo the first in every change motiiw is liter manure o very little use except it be spread huron a time table must tho rush rush of tho busy christmas season is with us and time is so quickly growing short timo may bo growing short for many in halton county and in this district although they may be completely unaware of it tuberculosis strikes chiefly in individuals from high school age up and is in many cases curable in its early stages time may be growing short for detection in some of us to provide a protection against this disease that tho world health organization estimates as the cause of 15000 deaths a day the halton county tuberculosis and health association is staging a free chest xray clinic in this town and some surrounding centres during this month time may bo growing short until chrislrtias time may be growing shorter if detection of tuberculosis is too late every father and mother has a duly to them selves and to their children this month not just to fill childrens stockings on christmas eve but to make a definite point of having a free chest xray as a protection to their health and their childrens christmas shopping baking and all other ac tivity should come to a halt if necessary to take advantage of the insurance policy being given away in the form of a free chest xray this month the xray takes only brief seconds make it a dale for mom dad and high school children and for grandma and grandpa too it may be an important date and it will give you a feeling of safety dont miss the free chest xray clinic in this district a time table and advertise ments will explain the importance and plans more fully the good old days may have seemed better back in 1902
