the acton free press acton ontario thursday uay itih iim a common problem anyone with the ld that regulation of cloi ing hours in the itores in acton is a big problem should look about in olhe towns it seems that saturday night was considered quite the night to do the weekend shopping tor many years most folks from town and country liked lo get down town saturday night then the cities found thaj with long week ends the residents were not home on saturday night and if the shopping dollar was to remain in the city friday night was the night to stay open the super duper food markets used all sorts of circus tricks to popularize friday night shopping recently we came past one out on the highway and our seat mate on he bus informed us that both thursday and friday nights were open nights in some of these markets evidently the hours for clerks in some is longer and not shorter of course everyone wants a long week end factory workers enoy all day saturday while those in retail establishments usually get a half day in mid week it looks as if the problem will not soon be adjusted and we wouldn t want to add anything to the confusion but those who serve and those who are served undoubtedly have rights that will have to be taken into con sideration in any adjustments that are made canadians are travelling from skookumchuck b c to aaerasheen nfld more canadians are going more places for pleasure this year at home and abroad reports the financial post travel agents this week reported strong indica tions 1954 will prove a record year for the tourist industry as one big agency put it name the place and were placing bookings there trans atlantic european and north american travel by plane train bus auto or ship are all in for a share of the free spending

liners operating between canada and europe with two on order cunard are adding the saxonia to their four sailing to canada the greek line has one the home lines one lets wave our own had a visit over the holiday with relations in the united states and while we travelled in two states and were not far from the canadian border v e never sighted a canadian flag beyond the international approaches we didn t expect to see one matter of fact we always think it odd vihen we see the flags of another country on dis play in that country perhaps that is the reason we dislike to see flags of other countries displayed in canada it looks like a cheap way of attracting attention and incidentally customers but then again we find flags of the united states on display at service clubs and conventions where there may be a few americans present we attended a dinner recently of a canadian organization along with the rest of the guests we drank a toast to the queen and then to the president of the united states just why do we pay so much homage to a neighboring nation we don t believe our neigh bors expect it and we surmise they smile about it occasionally canada has grown up and its lime that our flag waving was confined to that of our own country there are lots of canadians living across the border and they vsouldht think of fly ing the canadian flag there and the same is true of americans who reside m canada the display of the stars and stripes on rh s side of the border n usually a cheap way of attracting patronage of visitors to canada which few appreciate consider park sand and gardens in town tour comment this week seeing the country getting back in ontario from a trip along the highways south of the border one appreciates the benefit that we enoy through a branch of the ontario highways department promiscuous placing of signs and a countrywide splashing of fluorescent paint have made night driving on united states roads a hideous nightmare in ontario the sign and building permits branch performs very well an official duty for the department of highways which is defined in an official publication as to see thai no edifice from a telephone booth lo a baseball park is erected in such a position as to bea hazard to the man in a car this branch possesses and exercises tight con trol of billboards of advertising signs of all kinds along provincial roads in some aieas no signs of any kind may be erected field advertising it is tailed and where signs am permitted the ruqula tions are strict the official publication summary es them in rural areas thai are not restricted these signs cannot be over 53 feet in length 15 fet in height and must be three fetm alxive the qtoitnd ii 10 feel or under in length ihey must be set back from the boundary of the highway at least 75 feet if from 10 to 25 feet in length they must be placed i 75 feel from the highway and those between 25 and 50 feet may be no closer than 275 feet moreover no sign may be placed within less than i 000 feet of another sign of this type re gardless of which side of the highway it is situat ed nor can one be erected nearer than 300 feet of an intersecting road or railway thanks to this control the highways of ontario aie mercifully free of the signs so common years ago and still common in some provinces which block scenic vistas and can create a hazard to pub lic safely by obstructing the view of hills and curves or by taking the attention of the driver from his wheel this tnislnraa f writ inn a column eaoh week on ionic local topic unt thr eaul thing in the
