are the days for this big local and countryside event since its inception in 1913 acton fair has made steady progress always with a balance on the right side the fair has always re invested its surpluses in providing improvements nnd a better exhibition this year hns perhaps seen the largest expenditure in the fuir grounds by the society they have purchased and removed the drill ball from its old site with the completion of the now arena this year the building will be used to house the live stock exhibits an improvement that has been desired for many yeurs the extension of the railing about the track has made the grounds safer for spectatorsand greatly facilitated the hand ling of the big crowds that attend this annual event realizing that attractions ojjier than exhibits must be provided for the spectators acton fair hus been a leader in providing amusements and entertainment the programme that uppcurs on the front page of this issue will not be bettered ut any of the fnirs held in much larger centres that the directors have acted wisely in providing these is evidenced by the ever increasing crowds that attend acton fair each year that the community is back of the event may easily be seen by the splendid prize list offered none of the fairs of acton s size provide as many special prizes as arc each year presented ut this show none receive these helps more cheerfully than does this fair that has shown how they can best make use of them a week rom to day the big event will be ovor for another year may it be gnuced with line weather and go on and record another success eelipsing nny thing that has been achieved in the past a show down w needed when the bell telephone compuny is permitted by the dominion railway commission to charge rates which will provide for a dividend of 8 per share it is on the assumption that the commission is watch ing the receipts and expenditures of he company and believes hat the rutes arc wurrunted ufttr exercise of the most careful and eeonomicul munuge ment consistent with efficiency if it were found that the corporation was spending larle sums of money needlessly the commission would huve no justillca tion for taxing the telephone customers to cover these the latter on the other hand would huve ample excuse for proteinic against the puymeut of moneys to be used otherwise thiin in providing service and meeting the set dividend requirements if the bell compuny directorate decided to distribute some 8 000 000 out of surplus us a dividend bonus would it hove the sanction of the railway commis sion would not the possibility of uny bonus distn button justify the telephone users in ussumiiig that their rates were too high und that they were entitled to a reduction yet the omumsion itself is perm ling a dividend equivalent to 17 a share this year hj the terms under which ihe new stock ufiotment is in dc the con miosiou dots not belicc the compuny needs the money it could raise hy iticiiouiug or dis p sing of the shares by tender uttei advertising u matter of possibly 7 000 000 tn h 000 ikk more at iny rate it did not think it worth while to choose the method of selling the stc vhrch would ensure the highest market price it considered the shareholders more in need of the extru funds thitn the company treasury the suggestion of mr r a reid mudc in the globe yesterday that the municipalities should appeal for a reduction of rates in view of the existing situation in wholly logical jf the compuny can afford a dividend of 17 it is charging too much for its service no time should he lost ii uiuking this move it would have the udded advantage of bringing into the open at this time a much needed explanation of the commissions action certainly the public cannot accept the conclusion ol the bourd on the stock issue with equanimity ioionto globe cniihe to be tliankful with the continued dry weather and the nece miry requests in many munieipahtie for the curtailment of the use of water we wonder if citizens generally appreciate the supply with which acton i blessed there huve been no notices froni acton public utili ties commission asking that the use of water be curtailed tin flit i pin ss inquired of superintend cnt wilson if the upply was diminishing or offected in any way by the dry wenther he replied that the only difference was noticed in the increased con sumption during the dry weather the pumps were run for longer intervals in supplying this demand but no diminishing of the supply was noticeable that steady flow of wnter from the rock is just as strong und just as heavy during this long continued drought us ut the time of the spring freshets it just us clear und cold ut the spring now us during the coldest weather at the present time with the privilege of tnpping another spring from the rock a few hundred feet nwuy it would appear that acton need hnve no fear regnrding qconstnnt supply of pure water the pumping facilities may need to be increused nnd improved within a short time to cars for the ever increasing consumption of water in the restrvoir may need to be built at the spring for storing wnter again the senson when the demnnd is heaviest but acton ma well be thnnkful for this supply of pure water that is unaffected by long con tinucd dry spells and furnishes its citizens with such splendid drinking wnter that needs no chemical treat ment to insure its purity on to greater suecewj it was our privilege to attend the final day of the canadian national exhibition on saturday the place was thronged with people anxious on this final dny to v have a glimpse of the wonders which this event provided we hud been there previously but like a multitude of others wanted to take an oppor tunity of viewing the wonders on this inst dny it wns time well spent sometimes we hnve been inclin ed to feel that we hud viewed it so many times that we could afford to miss the event the up to date ness of exhibits file new things that are hrst shown here the mnnufucturers who rfut their exhibits side by side to allow of comparison and the ever incrcas ing features provided nnd new buildings nnd jfucili ties make the canadian national exhibition new each year the manufacturers building is the same structure but the ladies find the newest ldofigjrom the exhibits here 1 he electrical and automobile buildings have been the outgrowth of the demand to display n nicies which a few yenrs iigo were not in genernl use und many were unheard of the livt toek exhibits show the improvement in the breeding of the pusl few years the aeroplane building is ikwisc n new departure und provides un opportunity for vicwnif the progress in this line of all this vv n de i ul exhibition uity only the midway seemed to i emu i n the same as in former years and yet it seemed to prove just us alluring to those who throng ed it j ho exhibition is never the same the crowd who attended this year was not quite as large as last year and yet president brndshaw nnd his direc tors und retinue of workers are not daunted all rcudy pluns are being mudc for n greater national exhibition in 1950 its officers and the fair stuff never get in a rut one success simply means the aiming ut something greater the spirit expressed in the closing remarks of president bradshaw seemed to be the spirit of the exhibition staff und the throng who listened were in accord with it with such a spirit of progressivencss und an eye to the futur the exhibition will continue indefinitely to provide us with the privilege of viewing this wonder unnuul event of the world lditomal
