prwplahx telkrilonks- editorial and bualnm ottcm haaldenca for next years council a feature that u applicable in some municipali ties and miht be tried with good results in acton is rtio plan of holding the nomination meeting ti day or so following the time wben nommutions are put in for municipal office it is hardly fmr that men should be placed in nomination and expected to address a public gathering a few uunuteb later and intelligently discuss matters that had not been seriously considered by them with tho nominations now being made on triduy the platform audnsci of former officials and candidates for office might well be heard on the following monday evening this would give all candidates a diancc to make up their mind on their stand and to prepare for many of the questions they would like to ask and acquaint themselves with issues confronting the ratepayers such a plan of two meetings is now being carried out in other municipalities such as barrie and we put forward the suggestion for consideration by next years council a- ii example needed the appeal of the lion col price for munici palities to curtail expenditure wherever possible is n timely warning and should be heeded by nil govern ing bodies but the small municipality will have a big task winch seems futile when the large bodies foist the expenditures onto them and they arc the direct means of approach to the taxpayer in acton and we take it that this is just typical of other towns the increased expenditure has come from the county rate which has been utmost doubled in the past few years 4et us also explain that the county rate ts also made up of levies by the provincial body and we presume the dominion government has levies over which the provincial government has no control a striking example of tax increasing was the recent attempt of the provincial highway department to have a third highway without even the county council having u voice in its construction to the credit of the department is also its cessation of operations when the opposition from the county was put forth it is- truly a time for all bodies to proceed slowly and the larger governing bodies are expected to sot the example what la advertising if you were asked just how to define advertising you would no doubt experience some difficulty in doing so but miss florence dart of philadelphia won a silver trophy with this definition advertising is the art science and business of creating u favorable public acceptanc of demand or desire for any worthy product of service the contest for a defini tion was launched because according to the women s advertising club of chicago who sponsored it there is a need for the gcncrul public to have a definite idea of just what advertising is and how it functions on with the huture the municipal elections are over for another year and the electors have made their choice of who will serve them und administer their uffans i he council will nil be iilw men although reeve

by the expressed will of the majority and with the spirit expressed by the elected councillor the future of acton will legistcr a continuance of the advancement that bus charuetened its past
