state ment or which any citizen may well be proud this years statement has several changes for instance the list of tax arrears which sometimes occupied as much as five pages are all on one page this year and the amount is the lowest in the past riftccn years the report is in many ways more easily under stood by the average citizens and more condensed improvements in town finances during the year

444532 in con cluding his remarks mr h a lever the auditor says the statements describe a year of progress in the affairs of the village we know that citizens generally will agree with this remark we suggest hey secure a copy from the clerk or treasurer and become acquainted with actons finances the book will answer any questions you may want to know the explanations given are very helpful to a com plete understanding the affairs of council utili ties commission school board library board and the cemetery board are all given in this annual pub lication i v no place to stop a week from monday canadas fourth victory loan will start it it the biggest job in a loan can adians have ever tackled here in halton county we arc asked to subscribe 2400000 as our share it is much more than has been raised in any prev ious loan and everyone connected with tho victory loan organization is well aware of the magnitude of the task our local objective has not yet been an nounced but it will no doubt be a bit staggering and thero are many who will say it cannot be done and a few who will dismiss the subject at that or with some other item that has just recently affected their mode of living or enjoyment there were also thosf folks back in 1939 and 1040 who watched the might of germany roll over conquered nations and subjugate their people there were those who when the italians stabbed france in the back said it was utter foolishness for britain to hold out alone there were folks aplenty who lead the war news and wrung their hands but there were also those resolute souls who kept the light of battle in their eye and said we shall not fail or falter when it looked as if the german air might would bomb the tight little island from off the face of the earth there were those who kept on fighting with the inadequate weapons they had there were those who in spite of publio ridi cule continued to build and plan for these days of 1943 in which we are ready to attack and now we are ready to attack now wc need to subscribe to the biggest loan to back that attack that canadians over there are going to deliver hit ler and mussolini have been stopped they are now in retreat now is the time to keep them running if you believe in delivering a knockout blow when your opponent is groggy if you think the time to score goals is when the other team is tired if you believe the time to hit the ball is when tne opposing pitcher is tiring then yon wilt agree that the tiame to pat everything yon have in the tight i in this fourth victory loan yours is the answer lets have more of those resolute souls who will lead the attack when we must not fail or falter we can do it again hitler must be kept on the run and mussolini ran over v how about that pah bra the spring cleanup ca is due again it may mean more work for the average householder this year with the oddjob man gone into ar work but the need for brighter and cleaner cities towns and villages is as great as ever the layman who wields a paint brush in the spring helps himself his community and incidentally the visitor to the district who often enough casts an appreciative eye over hishandiwork a drab community is the worst possible advertise ment and it is a matter for wonderment that inter- town business and sport rivalry is not more general ly carried into the realm of civic improvement pro vincial competitions graded in regard to population with a trophy for the cleanest bestlooking munici pality in each group might have the desired result it is true that certain communities by virtue of their location are able to make a better showing than others but that should only spur leaders in places less favorably situated to greater effort of course the job should not stop at house and store painting improvement of wayside cabins and soft drink stands the removal of unsightly and sometimes di lapidated signboards and the freshening up of side streets as well as main streets with all the preparations for postwar planning and rehabilitation going on at ottawa canadian municipalities have a3ood lead in doing a little town planning even though along elementary lines on their own account bombblitzed london and other british cities are planning for the future surely what they are forced to do by necessity could be done in canada by choice clothes do not make the man they say but a mans appearance does stand for something and an attractive town or village has its praises sung in the most unexpected places v two ways of life most folks with relatives or friends overseas and in the fighting forces live largely for the day when there will be reunion again in tho homes from time to time before the war ceases we do see such reunions and in three homes in the acton district buch reunion came this past week ptc gordon babcock and spr sam gisby are back in canada and at chorlcy park hospital sergt max storey comes back to canada to take training for an officer in the army if you feci at any time that rationing in canada is severe if you have a suspicion that war restric tions taxation and other items are interfering with your income and your enjoyment of the things re garded hore as common place we advise you to have a conversation with any of these men who have lived in england or europe under wartime conditions they will likely tell you that wo in canada dont know there is a war on they will laugh at what we call restrictions as no restrictions at all if you have a war grouch youll soon lose it if you talk to some one who has been closer to the war that conversation is a much easier cure for your grouch than going to tho fighting front re member this when you are asked to donate to a war charity remember it when you arc asked to buy victory bonds or are called on to help in some of the various organizations we wish it were possible for every citizen to get these conversations with the boys they know in their own locality the boys who lived under our conditions and also under conditions in the war zone v editorial notes whether spring has a few more snowstorms or not easter will arrive next week v the wool of ten sheep is needed to outfit a
