scandalous letter was distributed ioth work the result was no more people are being taken on in that plant at the present time until the management considers its position and the desir ability of expansion we have known of towns that lost industry because the townsfolk whom strangers interview ed did notspeak well of their town no indus trialist wants to locate in a town where the pre sent populace ii not happy or congenial getting- industry or making any town a pleasant place to live in is not the work solely o councils committees or boards it is a job in which every citizen can help even m your greeting on the street with those you meet aid to municipality the ntrtltlcallon that municipalities now operating under provincial petite would be oblig ed to organfte their own torce at the conclusion otthls year wasnt mentioned by premier frost in his ty to nuiniclpallllet part of his budget speech h came in a direct letter to councils arid the blunt termination has left them with a real problem in their hands ij has been said and denied that the ontario government was having difficulty keeping r force up to strength appearsthe denial came too soon and the easy way has been taken of dumping the problem right back in the lap of municipal councils having been out of touch for several yean with police administration and hay ing let go all the former syslern tht doespose as i real problem horthosewho administer munici pal affairs in our own and many other towns after setting up all the necessary equipment requiied for provincial police and becoming ad justed to the system row these 40 some ontario municipalities will have to revert to the former municipal police arrangements and pick tip the potato which the ontario government has ap- tarted par fowndtoohottohandlejall theprovinc serving its pay we were pleased to note that acton and mil ton have decided to continue with the plan of engaging an engineer and sharing the cost the experiment has only been in operation a short time and we feel it is too early to state whether it has been successsful or not it may be that the work was too heavy in three towns to meet gene ral satisfaction and that two towns are all that can be carried in the one office certainly with the expansion that is going on in all three towns the services of an engineer devoting his full time tc municipal problems have not been lost during the time the arrangement has been operative the day may not be far away when acton and aailton may also need the fulltime services of en engineer in fhe meantime the present mutually beneficial arrangement seems to be meeting the need for many years halton and peetcounties operated cooperatively in the matter of a home for the aged and the work of the childrens aid society with steady growth it became necessary for individual operation of this work but in the early years it served a very useful and economi cal purpose the yjorth halton urban board is to day serving the purpose for which it was found no one can foretell how long it will be sufficient to meet conditions which are changing so rapidly spring optimism in these days of stocks going op and down and budgets and taxes and great growthetc we liked the note that bruce hutchisoninjected in h article in the financial post we liked it even if we do not plant seeds or tend a garden because it had an optimistic note that only spring can give they the seed catalogues contain the cheap est and surest investment in the world for 10 or 15 cents they offer a package of miniature vorlds each ready to explode into blossom and vegetable at the touch of spring manmade bombs may make a louder explosion but what have you left afterwards a seed costing a frac- tion of a cent will provide you with beauty and healthful exevqise all summer or food through next winter the seed catalogue is the only pros pectus i ever really trust when i buy a stock it invariably goes down- the seed invariably comes p i wide communication system set up ts apparently to be scrapped fvery municipality will again be its own unit we presume the provincial govern ment will look after its own convicts who escape from institutions and round up the criminals who roam the province with no fixed place of abode the duties of the municipalities would seem to be just to keep these criminals from its own borders what we might ask also is what is the oniario government going to do to enforce law and or der with the drunks it creates by the sale of booze and the administration of liquor control there is no indication but it appears that all the re venue goes to make government surpluses and all the expense is shoved onto the municipal tax payer is this the kind of aid to municipalities lhal is planned by the present administration of ontario one might well say that if such is the case it surely is time for a change urgency these are the days when the ravages of win ter to our rodstome into view when the pedes- tri i l to g mud or d w or all over his clothing itsthe time when the sun may be shining overhead- but underfoot one needs to watch his step often it is the time of flooding in many unexpected places and its not always the most opportune time to visit a new subdivision where building is in progress and drainage has not been completed with the light snowfall in this district this year however none of these disadvantages are likely to last too long in these days ol moreriders and fewer walk- ers road repairs seems to get the most clamour road graders cannot be put into operation too quickly the load of road material that must carry traffic when the frost comes out olj the ground be comes an immediate necessity we are an im patient people who are always in a hurry to get the benefits of the season just ahead to get where we want with a minimum of inconvenience but to get there anyway so at this time of year drainage and roadrer pairs do occupy ones attention whether one rides or walks the sooner the road graders and the loads of material make their appearance the bet ter pleased will be trie public generally ofher papers say the business man and the consumer already have been
