the acton rrff press acton ontario rilljiuillay aimui rtih m the unearthly horror ii is nwmuring in our tmw of ihr cold woi frantic armtnmi imtn and ilomic weapon development to lpt ihixkod loncern in all parts of the world following the hydrogen bomb ex plosion in the pacific ocean march 1 we have no reason to disbelieve russian press dispatches which tell of the surprise and fears created there after the test far exceeded the scien tific calculations of the bomb s amerctan experi mentors and certainly in canada and the united states we know by newspaper and radio reports of the startled anxiety now gnawing in the minds of citizens statesmen physicists and military lead ers over the awful power unleashed by this hy drogen weapon so we sav it is reassuring this world wide tremor of apprehension for it could force a new look at international conduct in order to avoid the alternative to peaceful existence of mankind tins alternative it now appears could in a thid world war be the sudden atomization of life in a series of unearthly cataclysms and horribly true ffie nafure of the march j explosion supports this fear the bomb deton ated with a force 600 times greater than the his tory making blast at hiroshima nearly 10 years ago although its testers admit miscalculation of this explosion s might they infer at the same time thai the latent possibilities of the hydrogen bomb can produce even greater devastation the survival of life is at slake is man toy with this unearthly horror lesson at hespeler labor s formidable voice in the canadian economy recently sounded a somber note at hes peler where the causes of textile marketing troubles stamped an emphatic result on the live lihoods of several hundred workers in an agreement to accept wage cutbacks the woollenworkers union of hespeleffacedupfda steely reality of economics production out of pace with consumption buckle o diagnosis of the sickness assailing canada s textile industry is said to be the cheaper imports of woolen and woolen substitute goods available to canadian consumers from foreign mills which produce at a much lower cost and consequently sell cheaper than our own textiles this may be so prognosis for the unhealthy condition is offer ed by the industry in a cry from an arresting pro tective tariff on imported textiles this may be a valid possible cure in spite of the government s rebuff that not only would i protective tariff im dermme existing trade agreements but would in ligate problems with the canadian fisheries and agricultural industries who might then cry policy and clamor for their own tariffs all this too may be so but we rt inn un cerned now with this broader aspect of tin can adian textile tribulations as with the skim fttmt action by the hespeler workers the union there an independent orqan attun realized their company s products were not sell mq whatever the causes the union realized too that tonstguenll tht company s financial disposi tion was weakened production had to in cjean t since 1868 down to pact consui iption ope poi many of us who have our roots deeply im twddfd in alton the announcement last week that ttie storey glove lo would close their plant in a ton and the business would be sold brought back many memories nnd the realization of a hanging generation since i86b storey s has been canada s oldest glovers its business operations in all these years have been under the guidance of two families the storeys and the arnolds the editor does not vividly recall the late w h storey the founder of the business he dted eboui 54 years ago the business grew under his guidance from a small shop on mill street to the present four storey plant on bower avenue and also included a glovt leather tannery on main street ust south of the cnr tracks until march 15 1924 the glove manufacturing was conducted by members of the storey family on the above date the two glove firms of w h storey and son acton and h t arnold of georgetown amalgamated the plant in george town was closed and all the manufacturing has been done in acton for the past 30 years but the conduct of a glove business in acton was not a i tw event for the arnold family it was in the i uildmg on mill street now occupied by watson s music stort that h t arnold first manufactured ciloves most oi the arnold family was born in acton so that the return lo a larger plant was usl homecoming in reality in the intervening years mr h t arnold and his sons william and beatty have since passed on and only roy r remains in acton as president of the storey glove co theres a regret that we find difficult to pul into words that is shared by all of us along with the understanding thai men and families cannot go on forever it s a personal feel ing with many of us tht editor s grandfather and brother worked for h t arnold we ve had aunts and sisters who learned the glove making under these families we can recall that for many years beardmort and co and storey s were the only industries in acton and this town was known as a leather town in these changing days thert art not many institutions that can put their founding date back tc the days of confederation acton has however v ft the distinction of having the beardmor co whose establishment dat goes back to 1044 wt would all like lo see them qo on forever but such is not the way of life we wish for roy arnold and other members of this family many happy years of retirement from business activity and tht hope that after may 1st wi may b ablt to om him ou lsionally wht n fit qoes fishing sinn 1868 is a
