publicspirited way of f fered to serve on the various elected bodies it is the opportunity of ratepayers to choose from among them those who will carry on the bus iness of the municipality for the next year there is one thing that should be kept in mind municipal business is big business the financial report presented to ratepayers shows totaliexpenditures by the municipality this year in an eleven month period of 0252821 thats a lot of public money to handle such expendi ture should have warranted an attendance of re than 30 out of a total of 1441 voters at the nominations meeting on friday the point is that ratepayers still have a duty to perform and can make up for their laxity on nominations by getting out to vote on monday next dont put the blame on any one else vote for who you like but remem ber its your money that is being spent its your town that is being represented by the meir you foroffic the majoritydecision next monday is a reflection on your judgement absorb another toronto daily the purchase by the editor of the globe and matl of the toronto evening telegram pretty well lines up the political viewpoint handed out the city dwellers into two parcels the price paid by george mcullagh of 3160000 was it is said well over the reserve bid of the trustees time was when toronto had three morning and three evening newspapers to serve its read ing public today there are just half that num ber and instead of six owners there are just two groups like many another business it can be easily understood why the number of papers and owners has become less modern production and high investment in machinery and equipment has forced the owner ship into the higher money brackets mr mr- cullagh and his associates have since entering the newspaper field absorbed three of torontos daily newspapers time alone will tell if the new arrangement will entail closing of one plant and concentrating all the mechanical and editor ial work under one too but this woujd seem a logical move with equipment at its present high prices tax cote in 19497 as a taxpayer dont get discouraged 4lrh current ottawa pessimism about the budget sur plus and next years tax cuts says kenneth r wifeori ottawa editor of the financial post its the rashion now to play down the s2j millionnesteggwhich ottawa-haa-aalted-away- in the first seven months of the fiscal year it is also being rumored that because of larger defense spending noxt year and possible canadian military aid to europe hopes for a 1040 tax cut are dim this reporter takes all these rumours with a very large grain of salttwouvd go further and predict that tax cuts perhaps of a highly aatia- fatory sire are inevitable for the t040 address juvenile delinquency w h ellis a former juvenile court judge told esteven rotanans recently that the great est blessing that could overtake canada in these days of unsolved national problems would be the reestablishment of the oldfashioned home where character was

delinquency is fundamentally and essentially a manifestation of some maladjustment at some time or place in a bovs life and if this is true that it comes as a result of some lack of moral or spiritual
