the acton free press acton ontario thursday november 19 1953 its the time of year while municipal aommationj arent scheduled until next week theil has been the usual pre election talk some of those in municipal office have already stated their intentions for next year as a year of municipal life draws to a close we dont blame many who have served for feeling tired of public life only those who serve on municipal bodies know the time and worry it re quires and at the close of the year are very tired c it all the best way to get an understanding of your town is to give service for a term on one of the elected bodies but such is our method of municipal govern ment if it to be earned on effectively we re quire those who are busy men who have been successful in the conduct of their own business end who have the interests of the town at heart it is not an easy task it is not one that should be continually loaded onto the same shoulders but some continuity is desirable on councils school boards and commissions if the programs are to be carried on progressively nomination night will soon be at hand during the next weeks it behooves all citizens to give careful thought on then home town affavs nexj year and the years ahead are all important in this growing town of acton we neectthe best cifi rens we can secure to serve the town it might be in order and not at all commonplace either if citi zens were generous with their praise for those who have served in the past and have helped oive our town such a fine standing the old cycle the two items may have absolutely no con nection but a new wage increase was granted last week to the pulp and paper makers also in the mails all paper supply houses gave notice of an increase in the price of fine papers and of course the increase will go on down the line to be paid by the user of fine papers we don t ust know how it will finally reach back to those who got the first increase but in the course of events it surely will get there of course there s no harm done in this series of raises as long as we use in canada all the fine paper we produce the chain of increase can go on indefinitely the trouble arises when paper makers from other countries decide they can pro duce and lay down in canada products at a lower price that s what s happening today in the tex tile industry in this country textiles can be im ported cheaper from other countries than they can be produced in canada its the old law of com petition and now that european countries are back in production again and not fighting we are go ing to see more of it whether we like it or not it need not be lower wages but the answer may easily be in greater production spectator sports the day of many of our well known games that used to be played ust for the fun of it are past down in bowmanville the intermediate hockey club has folded up because the manage ment wouldn t pay the players in smiths falls the board of parks management which is a public body and m charge of the hockey club has agreed folump thesalartesof flayers and not give them individually when making their regular reports the day of the amateur sports in baseball la crosse and other sports has gone for some time we wouldn t pin the blame on anyone in particu lar the fans demanded a winning team and if the material wasn t available locally urged the getting of the talent we don t particularly blame the players for asking compensation many of them suffered injury lost time from work had families to support and when they slowed up and couldn t play the game any more were soon for gotten there s ust one thing that we must beat in mind if we want spectator sports if we want to see these sports at the time most convenient to us and in the most comfortable manner we ii hawe to pay the price for our fun whether it s in winter or summer or in the fair days when football has a short season and hasn t yet gone under cover the old twobit spectator game when most of the participants played because they liked it took abuse without flinching and practiced every night in the week to attain good form is ust about gone you ii find it in some of the very small vil lages and we could name one not far from here but in the towns you re going to have to pay more for spectator sports as the years go along reading between the lines do you appreciate hospitals i do

should we have an historical museum the answer is yes in every community but in these days of rapid expansion and need for funds for so m e collection of articles and the founding of- a museum either in county or town seems to have little prospect of success in the meantime many articles of value and topical of early days here are going to be lost for the want of a place to put them just within the past two weels a verv fine spinnmq wheel came into our possession because the owner required the room we have over the vears taken m many articles and stored them m the hope that some day a museum would be established and we could turn them over for safe keeping lo a lis toncal society we know of another fine collec tion which was kept for vears and finally scatter ed when the man who qathered the earl relics of early days passed on and no ore was interest ed or had the place to store any of the collect on whether it would be a county assoc at on or whether the society would find enough interested persons in town makes little d fference tl s county of halton is arow nq so quickly these days that there seems 1 tt e t me lo dwell on the past or preserve the trunqs that our forefathers used the point is that the lonqer it is deferred the more articles are lost for the museum knowing the neighbors an unfortunate aspect of development of the last 50 years has been the growing gulf between urban and rural populations in the old days each group knew all about the others way of life because of close family relations a great many urban adults had been brought up on a farm and the usual place for city children to spend their holidays was back on the farm where their parents had been raised and which an uncle was still operating these old close conlacts have been broken it is quite possible that a fairly large proportion of cur canadian children today have never even visited a farm that is true not only for children but for a considerable number of urban grown ups as well these people have driven past farms or flown over them to them a herd of cattle or a flock of sheep or an orchard in bloom are merely interest ing subjects for their color camera not an invest ment of several thousand dollars which may or may not prove profitable it is not good for any country and particularly for a young democracy like ours to have two mapr population qroups with so little knowledge of each others life and problems various cul tural and service organizations in both town and country might well give them careful considera tion financial post i other papers say cranbrook
