the acton free press acton ontario nntntsnay august mth ism monumental mistakes thursday night w had a phone call from one of our readers which cleared our conscience- of any wrong complicity with tombstones it seems that- these flat marble slabs were also used by confectioners for making taffy and especially re quired in the making of peanut brittle our read er told of her interesting experience some years ago in acquiring a marble slab she had gone to a confectioner in guelph and selected a slab she considered the fight size and had it delivered by freight when the delivery man entered the store with the slab his greeting was i knew the lady well this was the first intimation the purchaser had that the other side of the slob bore an inscription and use of the stone was delayed until the matter was cleared with the guelph confectioner his explanation was that all the marble slabs he used were actually tombstones which had some error or were found not suitable the maker of the stones then disposed of these slabs of marble to whatever trade required them we know now that these slabs found in the printing offices came there quite legitimately and we are relieved to know that actually these stones were never used to mark any grave we dont suppose there are any more confec tioners who are purchasers of marble slabs printers do not purchase these errors of the monu ment dealers any more but then on second thought you never see any new memorials made from slabs of marble about two inches in thick ness the trend has changed and its all toward improvement we are ust a btt curious however to know what the makers of monuments do in the present day with their mistakes for the next two weeks tomorrow the great canadian national exht bition will open its gates on the show window of canada in spite of all the controversy which n evitably is attendant on such a big event it will prove again to be the world s greatest annual show keeping it great over such a long period is ro mean task in these days of a fast expanding country keeping it truly representative of canada is also a challenge while the c n e is a spectacular event with its giandstand show fireworks midway bands and imported artists it is much more than ail this trouble seems to be that there is so much to see within the great grounds that one is apt to choose to see only the spectacular part of the program most any day there is only a very small portion of the visitors to stroll through the showing of fine horses the best in cattle the finest hogs sheep poultry and the exhibits which are the back giound of an agricultural country such as canada in spite of the fact that we have been attend ing the ex most every year for well over 40 years we still find it a must on our program every year to us like countless others who are next door to the event more than one vrsit each seison is pos ible for the next two weeks the ex will be the feature and next comes our own local fair which has its own individual appeil and s the trammel ground for exhibitors in such national events as the c n e and the royal winter fair weekly news field loss it was with general regret that r7e weekly newspaper held learned of the sudden death of harold j fair of the mount forest confederate mr fair had been in newspaper work for 23 ears he was a war correspondent with the can adan press in the second world war he was with reuters news agency in new york three years ago he purchased controlling interest in the mount forest confederate he was 41 years old mr fair was a native of arthur ontario and his father harry r far still resides there he leav e- a wife the former helen dorothy alton who was a real helpmate in h newspaper work and c sister mrs t o dunlop of toronto friends tn e wide field nourn with them the loss that has been sustained in his passing a cooperative state the past few weeks have seen quite a flurry in development of land for housing in acton the new developments take up practically all of the building land within the town limits and if acton to expand it is imperative that the boundaries be extended so that land can be serviced in this present day thoro cannot be any large develop ment in lands which cannot give water sewors garbage collection and adequate fire protection to even a ifasual observer ihe need for more modern houses m acton has been evident for some time many people who want to live in ac ton have been frustrated because there was not on the market any number of modern homos there has been im true a procjrossive building of home owned buildings over the years many people however prefer to acquire a home with out the bother of making building arronqemenk for these acton lacked the slock of houses to in terest prospects the new developments should find a ready market and a variety of locations a word of commendation is due to those who made these recent developments possible only those who are in close contact know all ihe ob stacles which mult be surmounted before such work can be completed it lakes cooperation of council land owners builders realtors and many more to bring a development into being all have been able to do business and development can continue as long as this state continues new cause for development announcement recently that parallel dual 20- inch diameter pipes will be laid beneath the bed of the niagara river to bring tennessee natural gas into ontario follows the speculation of many that the provision of ample natural gas in ontario will provide a new impetus to industrial develop ment and expansion it is explained that this line will be run from the niagara river to the peel halton line where it will be linked with the consumers gas co to ronto distribution system officials expect to have gas flowing through the lines by november 1 at the march meeting of the county council officials of the union gas co of canada ltd sought the rights and franchise to lay a 24 inch gas pipe line under county roads at that time it was explained the company was planning to lay a 24 inch natural gas pipe line from the vicinity of toronto west to lambton county the approxi mate location of that line would be between one and two miles north of highway 5 a secondary line was planned to serve the oakville area ser vice to centres such as kitchener guelph gait and london areas was also planned by the com pany that was the largest supplier m western on tano at that time it was explained that if a munici pality did not have gas and desired the commod ity the company would provide a main to the municipality s boundaries but it would be up to the municipality to take cue of the distribution cost of ht entire propel wis estimated at 1 2 100 000 trans canada pipe lines who are laying a line to the peel halton border considers the niagara toronto line oik of the 1 sections making up the 2 200 mile mtural gas transmission network be tween the alberla border md montreal in addition to crossing the niagara river and the welland canal tht pipe line will make more than 25 highway end i 1 railroad crossings in the 80 mile stretch under construction with the arrival in halton of natural gas i new avenue of mduslnil attraction may be opened up and with it the problems of municipal councils m deciding whether to instal the necessary network cf lines that would make available service to all home owners individuals with either guns or fishing tackle passing themselves off as sportsmen have re paid kindliness with shocking bad manners in the use of a
