the acton free press acton ontario thursday august 8th 1059 heading bw n tk ulwi bribery causes byelection in 1892 one candidate talked until dark its your turn every canadian has had during the past few weeks platforms promises and performance of all parties put before them from newspapers public platforms and by radio the canadian elec tion has been a maor subect of discussion for the past few weeks candidates leaders and cabinet ministers have met many of the electors and many young canadians who a few years hence will be the electors this week will see the close of the campaign it is your turn to take your part on monday whatever your choice it is a duty for everyone who has the privilege of living in a free democ racy to get out and make that decision that is yours and yours alone if you cannot make up your own mind there are always plenty who will supply an argument in favor of their choice we could offer guidance ourselves to those who might be doubtful but we believe every canadian over 21 years of age is quite capable of making his or her own decision the important citizenship duty of every can adian is to vote on monday do not let it be said that the government to be elected was chosen on a minority vote do not let holidays or other mat lim vfflmljgba j jaolhn ixxrthsonmonday it takes1mletime the polt ing places are open sufficiently long for all to be served you wilt not have another similar oppor tunity for four or five years and the government which the majority select on monday will be the one which wilt make the laws and regulations under which you will live for some time the choice is for not only the government that will be in office but also the individual who will make the best representative for halton in that government which will take office you have three choices for candidates in halton make your own selection but whatever you do be sure to vote on monday in canada your ballot is your own secret a privilege which many people in other parts of the world do not en0y a proholidaj news item in n ni iehbonn daili informed its readers thil mondai garbage would be collected on s turdaj pre vious to the holida tml worths of b mj called news who is to blame we picked up the ttem which follows from the fort erie times review it is not necessary to make any comment but it would be well if all parents read it and made a self analysis three youths were recently given suspended sentences in court here following the theft of a car they were from families in toronto none of the parents appeared when the case first came up before magistrate johnstone roberts and when the accused were asked where their parents were it was learned they had very little association with their homes and one youth did not know where his parents were bt the time another explained that his father and mother were about to leave on an extended trip to europe and did not have time to come to fort erie always showing a keen interest in young people the magistrate remanded the case and re quested the parents be contacted only one couple appeared for the trial upon police request the court was appalled at the parental neglect m letting juveniles go uncontrolled with no home life encouraged the magistrate said the parents were as much to blame in this instance as the children and following a senous talk with the lads he gave them a chance to prove their be ng able to behave themselves one youth will report every three months for a year and appear once before the magistrate personally dunng the course of a year tine under the unemployment insurance com mission we who have lived over the last 50 years ere perhaps mono likely to notice these constant changes and benefits that canadians enoy today many of us in this age group were raised and raised families without the benefit of children al lowances mother s pensions compensation bene fits and such like none would want to revert to those days and the over 50 group will recall the struggles that many mothers made to keep famil les together and provide food shelter and cloth ing when fathers had passed on great strides have been made in the canadian home life in the past 50 yean the years ahead will see more advancement as we are able to meet it matter of fact that over 50 year old group now anticipates the benefits that will b ttssstt when they reach the three score and ten and are not able to continue to earn a livelihood these are indeed great years to be living in this canada of ours every day sees improvement in our living conditions the holiday season is nearlng an end and most folks have had fine holiday weather the past month or so beating flfie indians last weekend a not that police had to quell with tear gas occurred at prince rupert it started after the beverage rooms closed in nearly every city from vancouver to halifax police report dis turbances regularly and it is not surprising that most of them occur around the beverage rooms it is not surprising either how many of our so- called accidents on our highways are caused after folks have taken too much intoxicating liquor the indians called it fire water and the white man in his jurisdiction over the indians was smart enough to make laws that intoxicating beverages were not to be sold to indians the red men got out of hand and caused damage to the white man s property they staged riots and became the tools of leaders who wanted to have control over them trouble seems 1o be that the white men aren i smart enough to jceep intoxicating beverages away from themselves of course they have the same effect on white men as on red men many a group of pale faces has been led astray when they were loaded with fire water the indians couldn t make bigger fools of themselves when loaded with liquor than many of our citizens are doing today but so often we put profit and money accumulation above the things which do harm to our fellowmen seems as if it won t be settled until everybody goes on the indian list better every day some times in our desire for greater th nqs in the future we overlook the things that are hap pening today we all want lower taxes but we heard little comment on the tax reduction which affected every pay envelope on and after july 1 last week a small notice appeared in all the news papers stating that effective august 1st benefits will be paid for days of illness mury or quaran our changing fuels as a source of fuel coal has yielded first place to oil in the united states for 50 years other energy producers have been riibbling away at what once was virtually the sole source of com mercial power last year notes the financial post 39 4 per cent of the power generated in the us came from oil only 34 per cent from coal and that lead for the rival fuel it is generally expected will tend to increase irt the immediate future what is true of the united states will certainly be true of canada here too coal is losing out to oil and especially with the two principal users the railway locomotive and the home furnace for years the cost of mining coal has been rising because mining wages have been rising if coal is to continue as a mapr source of fuel and the coal mines a maor source of employ ment then real costs of production must be brought down to a point where coal can compete with other fuels that s the fundamental problem many of us can recall when grandpa worried about depletion of the woodlot and good hard wood was the principal source of fuel for heating our home many of us recall the first coal stoves and the advantages they had in keeping a fire on all night and making it possible to put a foot on the floor wthout astocking on it it was coals advantages and very reasonable price of 5 pr 6 a ton which established it as fuel for homes now o i seems i kely to be its successor for more con venience and lower heating costs 8hj artnn 3ttt fraa th oop paper kncr pkhushed l actus founded in 1875 and
