pack two the acton wee kess anri it is wfeetusedtolt daylight saving commences next sunday and it doesnt require any greater stretch of memory 0recnthier furore that hange irt timeosed to- create when the saving measure first started seemsjto us it was durjng world war 1 that we first became possessed of the necessity to have th hours of daylight for more outofdoor work wars have always provided great opportunities for changes in many things of course these days daylight saving is not used for getting more production in any field that reason is hardly valid any more when we have the five day week arid a maximum of eight hours labor while many of these othe measur have been assisted by government regulations its rather odd that daylight saving has been left severely alone by governments and allowed to be handled by the municipalities after thirty years of trial the advent of day light saving in these parts isasaeeeptedas the- spring it takes no reasoning to justify its adop tion but the municipality which doesnt accept it is usually very much out of step an added con fusion has however developed lately in the time daylight saving ceases if that is cleared away it would seem that weve got used to daylight tam a ic taxing out of canada while the increases and changes brought about by the budget seem on the whole to have made the best pf providing for increased ex penditure there are inequalities and imposts which on a littje study are clearly creating undue hardships perhaps the most unreasonable of these new taxes is the new tax of fifteen per cent which was added on such household neces- sities as electrical appliances stoves washing machines etc which have become part of every household and can in no way be considered luxuries- these goods along with others now are subject to a fifteen per cent tax plus the sales tax of 10 per cent granted that there was need for more taxa tion it seems that when no increase in the liquor tax was made the tax of fifteen per cent on household appliances was unfair especially in view of the added two per cent safes tax housewives and young folks establishing now homes have been heavily penalized by the im position of this added tax many smhoowns are also unduly handicap ped by this tax which will restrict expansion- of industry in many of them the electrical ap pliance manufacturers are spread across canada in many small communities for the third tirne in the past decade the electric appliance industry has been m a heavy collector of revenue from the householders of the country every in crease in the tax deters any expansion program for industry in these small communities every change requires more office adjustment more clerical help in setting up costs and therefore higher costs to consumer or manufacturer surely the new impost is unfair to house wives and the small towns when it was not necessary to put added tax on such things as liquor pleasure boats and a wide variety of non essentials there is a great danger of taxing some industries out of the canadian field just as candy manufacturers were nearly put out of business by heavy taxation no time for leisure buried dooply tn mr abbotts budget last week says the financial post was a warning of tougher days ahead for the average canadian particularly if our present defense program is boosted as may well happen mr abbott said this statistics indicate that there has been no measurable increase in per capita productivity during the past five years this can be explained by the larger proportion of children and old people in our population but if we are to carry greatly increased defense costs without having a definite fall in our standard of consumption we shall have to do better than this we shall have to work harder and longer in that brief statment warns the post there is the text for several lermons there it sound reason here for calling a halt to any major expansion of social services be cause these can only be expanded at the expense of our working population and our working population is already fully engaged in providing goods and services for our present population and in building up defense there is sound reason for reconsideration of present ambitious plans for retiring scores of thousands of ablebodied people while they are still able and willing to carry on every man sc retired is anpther worker taken out of active production while he still remains a consumer of goods and services there is sound reason too for speeding up immigration immigrants are mainly men and women of working age who for many years to come will be producing more than they will bo consuming j and finally hkero is a sound reason for- the expansion of plant and equipment for inore lies a big hope of increasing productivity per work er for the present unforlunatoly thoro will bo little opportunity for any major expansion of in dustry except that geared to defense and the products turned out by defense industry are not usually of a kind that add to our standard of liv ing that being the case wo would be wise to pay extw attention to ot po montlonod if we do our lofshould prove easier in the critical period that lies aheasf stamp centennial just as we are bocoming accustomed tothe higher rate from the post office we hear of the centennlalof canadas f irsfpostage stampr and loarn that in that category af least cost has gone down over a period of years rather than up the least expensive of these first stamps was a three pence label the first of the trio issued in 1851 was called the threepence red in buying circles vand the lifted labul uffklahy as wch as being a candian tirst this stqmp had another claim to fame pictured on if was a beaver building a clanfand this was the only rodent shown on any postage stamp until 19391 then bolivia caught up and issued one with a chinchilla the beaver was even then considered ap propriate of canada with the skins a standard of trade a recently issued 10cent stamp pictured beaver skins drying on stretchers a 24yearold draughtsman sandford flem ing designed foe threepence red he later be came chief engineer for the government plan ned the intercolonial railway and much of the canadian pacific and was one of the first advo cates of standard time it was for thfcse features rather than for the busy beaver on the red label that he was knighted the office where he de signed the stamp is long since gone and in its place are the toronto offices of the huron and erie mortgage corporation and the canada trust company on yonge st- toronto the two other early canadian stamps cer tainly collectors items are even more expensive one of a sixpence lilac bears a portrait of albert the prince consort the other the most glamor ous of all canadian stamps from reports is black with the regal victoria pictured on it this beauty cost 12 pence in 1851 but one of these victorias sold last year for 25001 it was found about 15 years ago in oundas thats worth
