i the acton free press thursday october 12th vht ffkitanrtettbb too few canadians realise the job that was tackled at sarnia and put into successful operation and the vital part it played in canadas war effort not only has this plant the present task of sap- plying vital war material but also the adaptability of conversion to peacetime work it is a chemical plant with possibilities in wide held in addition to manufacture of synthetic rubber it is a present day reality and a future vision in the realm of pro ductive chemistry and the utilization of many form er waste products two of the things which struck us as we toured the acres of grounds and saw the miles of pipe lines was the age of the young men in charge and the small number employed in such vast buildings and the controls and guages with which all work was done from the power house to the finished product machines operated from control rooms do all the laborious tasks no big muscled men grimed with coal dost tend the huge boilers but men at a control board operated by levers tend to feeding the coal and regulating of water and pressures canada surely in these war times has made gig antic strides not only in its contribution to winning the war but in its vision of the future in building industry that will serve canadians well in the days of peace that will follow when the present job is finished a progressive conservative letter contbhmd to the crtjsns of ha1ton winston churchill says we must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except the politicians and the officials a society where enterprise gains no rewf rd and the thrift no privilege of all the races in the world our people would be the last to consent to be governed by a bureau cracy freedom is in their blood those who stand for the doctrines that will lead us into bureaucracy do not of course openly declare their inten tions to be frank with our intelligent electorate might not serve their purpose they say blatantly that free enter prise and unlimited opportunity for the individual just cannot work and they point to btate socialism or govern ment by dictators as the utopia to strive for they can not be sincere bnt we cannot believe them malevolent we challenge yom to provide the answer business directory dr w g c kenney successor to dr jf a mcnlven office in symon block min stunt dr vm g cullen

vic tory loan and every community and every citizen of canada has in the fifth year of the war a duty to play a part in finishing the task which now seems so near completion and a successful completion looking back over the victory loans of the past and the strenuous circumstances under which they were subscribed it would seem that bond buyers might view this loan as an opportunity for express ing thanks and again oversubscribing the larger ob jective that has been set victory is close but the men at the front know the way is not easy they have had your support on the home front through the trying years they must not bo let down in the moment when victory is just at hand you dont expect them to stop until the job is hnlshedljjow about us at home the years just ahead will see also an opportunity to purchase many of the things that war scarcity has made impossible to secure your victory bond in vestment now will provide tho funds to secure those articles thero is no need to tell now what a gilt- edged investment they are most every canadian has found by experience how negotiable they are and has clipped the interest coupons and knows how attractive an investment thoyjiave been october is the month of opportunity prepare now for the final push on the home front beforo victory prepare your investments now so that you too can have itho things that you have wanted and will soon be making their appearance again in tho days of peacetime v the fall fair success once again the annual fall fair has been con cluded with marked success in these war days it is the one big gathering left for assembling of tho folks of the district it is the place where urban dwellers get the opportunity to view the progress and ad vancement made in canaans basic industry agri culture and what an advancement has been made many will easily recall the exhibits of not so many years ago and in comparison with the fine stock shown at the fair this year easily see the differ ence the increase in the productivity of the stock and lands that have made such a contribution to canadas effort to feed tho peoplo of wartorn eu rope has not been an overnight transformation it has taken years and no small part of the incentive toward better farming methods can be given to that annual community event the fall fair the fairs are over for another year already plans are being formulated for the improvements that the past events demonstrate are advisable now exhibitors are planning for exhibits that will take the red ribbon next year where only a blue or yellow one was secured this year acton fair while among the youngest in point of years as an agricultural society is giving a lead ership and opportunity for exhibition that is worthy of the growing popularity it enjoys it attracts better exhibits and a big following each year v industrially canada progresses two weeks ago it was the privilege of the editor to visit the plant of the polymer corporation at sarnia where synthetic rubber is being produced and where the first anniversary of ithe plant was marked on that day with special features notable among them the presentation of the sixty millionth pound of rubber produced in the plant it is our hope that now that fall fairs are over and some time may be available to write about this plant from the view- point of just a layman unversed in the knowledge of chemistry that seems so necessary to explain this undertaking it may not be next week or the week after that we write our article but we do feel that csaanar s bright horiaon the atmosphere of thanksgiving season this year was different from any preceding war year that alone is cause for thankfulness tho successful invasion of normandy and the sustained offensive ever since dday has carried al lied arms into the homeland of germany though prime minister churchill only lately warned against optimism the end of the war in europe is in sight as we look back over the wartime thanksgivings tho pattern for gratitude takes definite and progres sive shape inspired by the unshaken purpose and confidence of great leaders the libertyloving nations now reap the victory of dogged persistence the en durance of the little people of britain when the threat of invasion was an everpresent fear the in defatigable courage of airmen who drovo the luft waffe from tho skies the determined persorvcrance of merchant seamen who kept the lines of supply intact the grim steadfastness and energy of soldiers and sailors such qualities arc the foundations of allied successes tho future is beginning to brighten and the ad justment of life to the stresses of the postwar era has already begun both at home and in the liberated countries in tho coming years the world will have need of tho dovotlon to duty and high ideals which have enabled tho united nations to win against armed and pitiless oppression canada has made tremendous contributions in men and material toward the winning of tho war nearly every family group has members in tho armed services and many have been touched by the sadness of casualties yet our land itself has been unmolest ed and tho hope that nbs heartened this thanksgiving will grow and materialize until once more our whole energies can bo devoted to development of our dominion for which such valiant and unselfish sac rifices have been mado v
