for a brighter better world brought closer by the turn of events of the next twelve months none can predict the course but all can hope and work toward that end a year ago we did the same thing 1041 did bring its joys and sorrows in the world ar it brought many events that seemed to be a turn in a long series- of reverses it brought new allies and new enemies but more important 1041 brought reverses to an enemy who had been accustomed ti only successes victory is far from complete but 1041 did seem to bring first successes in the war 1042 will bring more reverses but there is good reason to hope that the successes willbe moa num erous than the reverses with these successes will come sadness to man homts victory will be dearly won and the news that brings oy to n world at war generally will bring deep suffering to the homes that gave the men that gave their all and so as we stand on the threshold of a new ear we wish for all that it will hold a maximum of happiness not onl for tht wojld cause but in the securing of that essential victory that the toll of suffering ma be as light as possibk ma 1142 bring us nearer peace and world happiness may the suffering of the war bring us all closer in under standing of each other happiness cannot abound in a world at war and to those who suffer most in bringing world happiness may the joy of scr ice and sacrifice come to bring you a measure of happiness through tht tears v two as of life nd christmas some time ago there was a booklet published entitled the two ways o life that title came back to us as we witnessed an incident at christmas un one of actons streets not a main thoroughfare three little lads eame along the street with their arms about eaeh other and as they walked they sang compulsory military service we were not greatly surprised therefore when the other day we received a telegram from a toronto newspaper which made this query if dominion government decides com pulsory selective service filhout limitations is neces sary to maintain our fighting forces at adequsta strength do you think the people of your district would opposo it provided proper provision is made for farm labor requirements and essential war in dustries mfe know that there are various opinions regard ing that question in acton and district we have heard many of them and we do not profess to be abl to summarize them and state them only a ote of the public would show that so that our answer wan only our own opinion this was our ttnswer since everyone is in the f line in this war pushing is difficult with this in view we hope that if the dominion government decides compul sory selective service is necessary that it wont be confined to the fighting forces but will be all in elusive industry labor capital property ete us well as the lives of men between certain nges wc favor equality of service our viewponilis simply this that because we happen to ir3fainurd we have not the right to compel service upon anyone of a more de sirable age unles we are prepared to toss into the compulsory way all that we have sirived tot ilw hope by our life to gain we dont know thnt a similar viewpoinlmaintninsjiiactonttiidtln dis trict but we have talked to n number of people who lefusc to endorse conscription conscientiousu heliev ing that with their own inability to give active scr icc they have not the right to compel that condition on others willingness to put on to others the compulsion to give their all should carry with it a willingness to give our all our answer is only our own opinion perhaps you as n reader you would like to set down siltnt night thc sang it with all due recrencc and ecidence of training their voices blended well und thty compktcd their song and at its conclusion broke into n run for some place possibly hi me along the street their training hid come from kchouk and sundayschools en paper your opinion it is a vital question that af fects everyone v hockey again folks generally will be glad to know that acton arena will be operated again this year and that prospects are brighter for some hockey being played where so many good games have on past occasions been witnessed the calls of war made it necessary that the team playing here shall be composed of those from guclph and acton that fact alone will give some idea of the inroads the war has made on those of the age that play this great winter game those who remain at home can tnjoy a few games again everyone realizes that in these present times the importance of winning- is minimized by the greater game in which the war is involved but those at home in spare moments can just as well divert their attention from the needless fussing that accomplishes no good and tends to lower the morale generally hockey will not loom large in the public eye until the greater question ins been settled but as a diversion it still has its place there is the point too that debenture payments on the arena have to be met yearly in spite of the war and that any revenue earned from the building assists taxpayers who may divert the funds to war effort we know the boys in the armed forces will keen ly watch the progress of the team playing in acton 1or them too the gamcs may be a pleasant diver sion so good luck to the team and good recreation for tjie spare moments again v 1 editorial notes v a brighter happier new year to all v while christmas
