bowling greens and tennis courts and aronnd the y mca and in the park acton is fortunate in having all these facili ties well established it is easy to predict too that many folks will find that the method of enjoying life in the community and getting better acquainted will surpass those days when only pleasure could be gained by burning up gasoline and covering hund- teds of miles over the weekend incidentally it is likely to be not nearly so expensive either v a caiialgn that peb wat in commenting on the splurge of liquor adver tising that appeared recently the cbeslcy enterprise makes the following comment it was an insult to canadians that the brewing industry should objectso strenuously to beer ration ing and in large advertisements in some papers which would accept that kind of advertising plead with the people to endorse their stand that they should not be rationed the campaign fell flat among canadians who are tationed in gasoline tea coffee and sugar all of which they deem to be of greater concern to them than beer even blaming narrowminded temperance watai veej asanas in addition siosotmx ha been earmarked to assist in disposing- of agricultural products rendered sur plus by the war frelcht assistance cranks for forcing ottawas hand did not register j l 7 en wilt it u considered involve very strongly with canadians who have trouble get the week at ottawa aitlsb nltlii has att free lsna bv dadauuaanen estimates of war expenditure by the federal department of agricul ture in the crimin fiscal year given the house of oonmont recently by finance minister llaley reflect the governments desire- to encourabo production so as to enable the dom inion to meet her food c to great britain the breakdown of estimated avar expenditures by the depa la the 19u4 fiscal year bcsianbul nest april t showed that pracranix to encourage output of essential war supplies under the agricultural sup plies board will involve disbursement of approximately r77j500 ling the food which they have become accustomed to and which is in short supply when one considers what the war effort has meant to all lines of business in canada it is to laugh that the brewers would even claim that they should be allowed their usual production and distri bution we should think that men could be better employed these days than in making beer using gasoline and rubber to transport it around the coun try and use valuable manpower in serving it the brewers might have made friends if they had used the advertising to state that they were 100 per cent behind the government in its war rulings and that they would appeal to their customers to do without their usual supply of beer for the duration instead of hollering about their toes being stepped upon the liquor industry is its own worst enemy its lack of decency in keeping a respectable house in setting standards of conduct by its patrons and in elevating the trade to a higher level has done booze more harm than all the temperance organizations and it didnt help the brewers among average canadians when they asked them to join in their protest against rationing beer when these same can adians are scrimping and saving to get along on the tationed amount of tea coffee sugar and gasoline v editorial notes if they could trade places lets make the most of our preferred position the canauav red cross must have 10000000 to go on with the work in 1943 acton and district is asked to contribute 3200 j give and then some human suffering is greater than ever before v more community life the announcement of further curtailment of gasoline or methods of travel means that more and more people are going to find their recreation in their own communities for communities which have developed parks recreation grounds and places lor group gatherings before the war period this time will hold no difficulties for those who have no such local centres it will be qujte a problem evidence of this getting back to community en tertainment and community interest was found local ly in the minstrel show just concluded in all about fifty people were actively engaged in presenting the show over 1 000 paid admissions to the local per formances with more time available for rehearsals the show could top many of those produced in the years when there were other attractions after the show was concluded therocwasa fur ther evidence of this desire to have local clubs or groups when it was decided to hold the present organization together with the object of making other presentations from time to time as the need arose we predict that during the spring and summer months we will see a return of the local garden parties and outdoor local entertainments there the winter of 1043 has now provided everything even to an earthquake v in st marys the chinese relief fund has a total of 248000 on its objective of 3466 v march kept in line with december january and february for delivering a good fall t snow and plenty of cold weather perhaps april will behave like a spring month v the profit of advertising is not found alone in the goods directly sold through any advertisement most of the profit comes from leading people to lorm the constant habit of visiting the advertised stores v -e- when it comes to choosing men for govern ment i believe the first essential character and what above all else the people desire in their rcpresenta- minister mackenzie kinj v there is an old saying that if you want some thing done well do it yourself that applies to home town life instead of constantly asking why some body else does not do some needed thing people should do more of these things themselves v there are many things that have been said about former provincial premier hepburn and we have contributed our share when it comes to getting out of the untenable positions he has the foresight and good judgment to remove himself by resigning and not wailing to be ousted by the general public v editor hugh
