the acton free press acton ontario thursday junk 11th ikx development progress on the junior swimming pool in ac ton park has now reached a stage when assur ance can be given that the small children of acton will have a safe place for bathing this summer whh the new swings and slide and other play ground equipment in the park this spot is getting to be a very popular place for the children of the town police we are informed are clamping down on motorists who do any fast driving in the park and with this protection acton park can be a safe place for the children of course the swimming pool is still far from the plans that were first entertained for it the project will have to be one based on a pay as we go policy funds on hand are still not sufficient to meet the cost of dressing rooms however the umor pool will be in use this summer and with the improved condition of the water in fairy lake the young people may be able to eroy swim ming facilities in town superior lo those found in most communities the swimming pool project has been a dejay ed one in acton but this summer will see con elusive proof that the community program is not a failure and like all progressive developments of any town is a feature that will help make acton a mwteh be hoped th facilities wilr be used and not abused loud protest needed in view of the fact that cities are not represent ed on county councils and the interests of the towns and townships are served by county coun cils we an rather surprised that no protest has come from any of these bodies on the per capita grant to municipalities by the province toronto gets 4 00 per capita grant while in the villages of the province the assistance from the province may run as low as 1 50 per person it would appear that here indeed is a cause for count councils to espouse it might be back ed by resolirttons from municipal councils too but definitely here should be a protest registered on behalf of the towns v mages and townships of the province of ontario against the discrimination en grants on the present basis we have ro fault to find with basing of grants on a per capita plan but like many others we cannot understand why a city like toronto should get a grant of j4 per person and a township like nassagaweya only receive 1 50 per person it would appear that the truth of the old saying the wheel whch squeaks the loudest is the wheel that gets the grease was again being shown county councils and those of towns villages and townships apparently need to do some squeaking and loudly too if they are to get a fair portion of the taxes which are levied on all the people of the prov nee at equal rates but divided very unequally he on vhom hearm cxmjrrt a sceptre knows not the trnpht nil he bear tr cor ncille common topic the weather has been a very much discussed topic the past few weeks not only by those who sow and harvest the crops but by people generally the predictions by the weather fore casters have also been a bit astray at home we have a barometer that has been pretty reliable we enjoy watching it every day and noting the changes its still reliable but also very cautious for weeks the needle has hardly moved from the position marked changing on monday t mov ed out of its safe position and got over into the fair section you ii know by the time you read this article if our otherwise reliable barometer ventured too far some place in our reading the past week we came acros this little rhyme attributed to a rural philosopher no use grumbltn about the weather it doesnt help a bit for the kind of weather what you s gittm ts 1t yous goirt to git our trade white the trade fair has been in operation for a few years this year was the first time we have taken the opportunity to attend we went on a public day and there was quite an attendance in many respects the trade fair resembles the ex hibition but there are many differences the folks attending this annual event are not in holiday mood there are no amusements for visitors the people in charge of the exhibits are able to answer technical problems the folks visiting are there for business information most of the men have a very interested look and the women appear to have come along because they had an option of coming or staying at home the children are few and nobody appears to welcome them as one walks along the aisles there s another item there are many languages in which con versation is being carried on the trade fair has a more international appearance than any other exhibition another trend that seemed very pro nounced was the exhibits that are being shown from countries on other continents we didn t see one exhibif of printing machines from the united states while a dozen presses or more were being shown from other countries perhaps this condi lion was only typical of one branch of business jevjjtaffljyrocnfraeafraflasn more of an international trade aspect and perhaps will not always continue to be such a good cus tomer across our miles of unprotected border prices on machinery from other countries were lower than that which had previously been given by firms manufacturing their product in the united states one could not help being impressed by the desire to sell products shown by trade fair ex hibitors or perhaps we should say the desire to book orders it was a change from the past few years when there was a scarcity of goods and little initiative to secure orders for very indefinite shipping dates these are but a very few reflections from our first visit to the trade fair if world peace is maintained trade fairs may become more inter national and trade borders may be greatly ex tended hno btfwhn th un retorts vary in 25 years 52 report 27 report indicate the auditors report far

ignorance of the eng lish language might be construed from the case which rame up recently in an ontario court in which an immigrant who could neither read nor write was charged with a breach of the rules of the road following a collision the magistrate ob viously enough found it difficult to understand why anyone incapable of reading the ontario highways traffic act should be in possession of a driver s license another aspect of this case is that a permit to drive a motor vehicle capable of inflicting death injury and damage was apparently granted a person to whom such signs as school slow dan gerous curve ahead no passing on hills merg mg traffic are without meaning with the increased amount of motor vehicle travel these days it might be well to have a tight enmg up of restrictions before a license to drive a motor car is given the folks who can read but do not heed signs are just as dangerous to others as those not famil ar with our language then there is another group which has no regard for the rights of others our courts reveal many in tances where improvement might be made for more highway safety the sooner they are writ ten into and enforced in our traff c laws the
