years have passed since canada officially declared war on germany and one of the great wars was underway it took from 1939 to 1945 to wind up that great session or sorrow suffering and sacrifice on the part of thousands those who came out 6f it realized man was on the verge of completely annihilating himself unless he started settling his differences around thcnferenqe table rather than outside but that was all 7 years ago ever since 1945 we have been going through an ldareyou state termed a cold war mhere have been many smal ler conflicts from which the world has managed to emerge and for this we should be thankful there is a stronger guiding hand than that of man perhaps its time however as we reach this anniversary that we realize mans progress can no longer be measured with the thermometer of technological progress the weight of the worlds future will rest on the spiritual and moral de velopment of the individual when its effect reaches the worlds conference tables the wars will end and settlements will be more amicable the uncommon vote perhaps its just something we havent gotten over from childhood days but we always enjoy reading the funnies in the daily papers it is possible to learn from almost everything how ever and the funnies are certainly no excep- tion ai capp the creator of lil abner has long been famous for his satire and although we cant always agree with its intent the one currently being carried in this american election year seems particularly apt general bullmoose is seeking election as pre sident on the deepfreeze ticket since he doesnt want to offend two other fellows who seem to have the same idea by defeating them he has proposed that all those who dont want him for president write and tell him only a pitifully few letters are expected in and it is to be assumed those who dont write would be satisfied with him for president of course the satire al capp is drawing scores the apathy of the public in a democracy to exercise its franchise and choose its leaders undoubtedly the subject is not a new one thousands of words have been dunned at the general public urging that they vote in one trade magazine originating in the united states we noticed advertisements were being prepared for circulation during the election year urging voters tc know their candidates and vote it seems the planners of the campaign have come to the realization that for voters to vote is not the only requisite- they should also know who and what they are voting for undoubtedly the strength of democracy is that it assures the right of the individual to think for himself its weakness lies in the refusal of some individuals to exercise that right canadas election year may be this year or it may be next year every town and township has elections yearly or every two years from a list of cities across canada quebec was the only one which polled over 60 per cent of its electorate at i last municipal elections halifax london and years

ridiculous as it sounds progress at the parks the board of parks management is only a few months old but already it has justified its forma tion with worthwhile projects to maintain and ex tend the natural and manmade facilities of the local park working with only the residue of a budget left over from councils parks committee which gave full reins to the parks board after its creation- members have made a creditable start and are in sight of formidable accomplishments here are a few projects done or und metal signs have been erected warning of fines or imprisonment for those convicted of dam aging park property misusing facilities or pol luting the water the park gates are now closed every night at 10 pm a most effective step in controlling vandalism irresponsible speeding has been

lake of hazardous stumps and logs some lying treacherously below the waters surface by inches acton can congratulate itself for this sum mers overwhelming mandate to create a parks board concrete value is being recognized but many assents at a special vote is no place to stop the members of th parks board are energetic and capable but they need the help of every ac- tonian qlber town organizationsthe fair board ys mens club local legion and rotary club have cooperated actively to assist the parks board some of these groups have given work others donated equipment to improve the park were not asking citizens to band together for organized bees at the park but on behalf of those organizations led by the parks board that are working so hard to better one of this towns most
