necessary vote on the question are most encouraging signs of improve ment in this natural asset with which acton is blessed down through the years there has been much work done on the park improvement var ious groups have given evidence of interest and been encouraged by council praise is duevfor their effort under a parks commission greater advance ment can readily be visualized and a broader plan executed it is an opportunity to interest another group of citizens in community welfare in these days it is unfair to expect nine men on council to asutrteau thedyties in town improve ment a parks commission can be a most helpful body in the communityarid sharing the load in park improvement every citizen can be helpful the vandalism that has been perpetrated in the park the past few years must be stopped no group of citizens is going to work long or enthusiastically if hoodlums are going to destroy as rapidly as they build up for a program of im provement to be successful every citizen must be helpful and understanding opportunities all round rather colorful are some of the stories one reads thase days about the development of the immediate district in which we live in the midst of it all one feels it necessary to pinch oneself and perhaps wonder if this is really us since we see the development at hand perhaps it is diffi cult to get the same viewpoint that strikes the stranger who has not seen the day to day pro gress one cannot help being reminded of the rather apt definition once given arr expert who was des cribed as an ordinary individual who was just away from home sometimes it takes the stranger to see the opportunities thatare overlooked by those who live among them from day to day wherever one goes in halton county the talk is on land deals rather than the price of farm pro ducts can it be that this county will in the near future losets identity as an agricultural section one doesnt require a lengthy memory to re call when only farm homes were built on

ed their boundaries to double or more there seems to be no cessation either and with popula tion estimates of the next few years there is every evidence that the growth will require taking in an ever widening circle many can recall the days when the advice to young men was to go west and later came a period when the north was very attractive to the young and ambitious right now it seems that home has its opportunities as well as the newer sections evidences of lunacy a strong warning against endangering can adas financial and industrial position through the adoption of a taxsupported national health insur ance scheme was given by stuart armour eco nomic adviser to the president the steel com pany of canada limited in a recent speech one wonders said mr armour whence the authority is derived f or this new attempt to saddle our already heavilyloaded economy with vet another burden the cost of health insur ance must be an added burden upon the fruits of our industrial production and so raise the costs of such production as costs rise the ability of our industries in ontario to compete at home and abroad is further jeopardized a a the economic i rf iirh prop after due

held in trust for and ultimately belonp to the atkinson charitable foundation this should accomplish two things 1 the publication of the papers will be conducted for the benefit of the public in the continued rank and full dissemination of news and opinions with the profit motive while still important subsidiary to what i consider to be the chief functions of a metro politan newspaper 2 the profits from the newspapers will be used for the promotion and maintenance of social scientific and economic reforms which are charitable in nature for the benefit of the people of the province of

institutions in a review to the ontario legislature of the results obtained at canadas only alcoholic treat ment centre the alex g bfown aaerridrtalctrrric at mimico near toronto mr foote said that a clinical analysis of 188 cases in 1953 disclosed it is easier for a person to regain sobriety after treatment if they do not remain in a large urban centre other results of the special study made by faculty members of the university of toronto and the clinics consultants and staff members were the fewer convictions a person has had for breach of the liquor control act the more likely the treatment will be successful nine convictions make the chance of success 3 to 1 but if there are between 10 and 20 convictions the success ratic drops to 2 to 1 if a patient been convlctfea on liquor
