pag two the acton free press acton ontario rthursday july 7th 1952 count your blessings during these hot summer days when water is scarce and restrictions on its use are in force irt many towns and cities it mifjrii be well if acton- ian would count their blessings and be reminded that we are not beset with the afflictions of water shortage this year thanks to the foresight of municipal admini stration the limitations of our one- source of sup ply were anticipated last year without any fuss or interruption the new well went into production this past weofc to augment the pumping capacity of two units at the original spring property it is never safe to make predictions on water supplies but it appears actons needs have been arranged for the next few years from the supplies now available i there is just another item that wo believe is beneficial in maintaining actons supply and pre venting needless waste realizing the limitations of water supply over 30 years ago acton docidod to meter all water used in this way those who use most pay most that plan down through tho years has proved the most effective restriction on waste of water the property owner who allows hi garden hose to run ell night meets tho cost of his forgetfylnoss when you enjoy the ample supply jsfwatei in acton today not only count your blessings but give credit to those who have established a sound basis of administration for the benefit of all citi zens examples the world in our days needs good men rather than good fellows a good man is the father of a family or the head of the house who regards his home as the place nearest and dearest to his heart and his children in proportion to their num ber as the greatest reward of his lifes love and sacrifice the home is his club house to which he owes his first loyalty in time and social inter course this idea should be practised by men in general more particularly by married men and heads of families this method it is true will not gain for its followers the reputation of being good fellows but the character of a good man demands this course of conduct to be a good man is exceedingly more im portant than to be a good fellow the tendency cf me modern cub hclse is to unmake the good pan b crning him into a good fellowjyst now te world is grcar ng for leadership of good re and na condtt ens ccud be vastly im- pcved vere mere less of tne

might be termed a not and mob rule it is common knowledge that enforcement of many of our laws it winked at and decency insulted by the mob will the prison riot a guelph is ust one of many of the evidences of lack of enforcement of aw m the province ontario doesn t need more laws but it does badly need an adequate enforcement and strict administration in its court that will make law breakers realize that decent citizens are go ing to be given protection and mob and riot rule wlii not be condoned mr frost has the powers in hishands the time to make the application is before our insti tutions are full of lawbreakers and the intelligent and firm administration of punishment will be a deterrent to lawbreakers depends on your age every so often we moat up with some of the men of our age and a good recollection comes out of the conversation that recalls other days last week we chatted with a local man who told us how his two maiden aunts used to always make a plate of taffy for them when they came on a visit in thoso days it was customary for many resi dents to keop a cow and have their own supply of milk and of course if the homo gardens and lawns wore to bo maintained every properly had to bo adequately fenced and tho garden gale kopl well latched well the aunts made tho plato of taffy and put il on a bonch at tho back door to cool the garden gate was latchod and ovorylhing was in order but old mr blanks cow had an uncanny ability in unlatching garden gates its appotito called for taffy instead of tho groon garden vogo- tables lhat day the taffy was ust at tho sticky stage before being sot when tho intruder was discovered tho plate of taffy was firmly stuck to the nose of the cow my friond related lhat he and his companions chased that cow for six blocks before tho plato of taffy finally dropped in the roadway ho said the efforts of tho cow to bellow with a snout covered with sticky taffywas somethingtio will never forgot perhaps our readers who are of the same age will appreciate the story as we did but of course the younger folks who know nothing about home made taffy and old mr blanks cow and the indi vidual ownership of dairies of that day will term this item as corny the good old days may have seemed better back in 1902 front tht lutlfl of the fvee ipreatf of thurwiuy july 17 lb ims tfh twfintvrive cents an hour extta if i havi to maki him htactrm north e ast west stuth mans inhumanity to man perhaps by the time this article is read the strike of steel workers will have been settled but that is only one of the major labor disturb ances that are constantly upsetting the normaj conduct of business in the world surely we will soon learn that the way of force is not the best way to settle our differences back in the days of the pioneers of this conti nent the settler was sufficient to himself he grew his own food raised the sheep that pro duced the wool for the family in his own home he was independent of supplies from the world outside his immediate neighborhood it was a hard way of life the workmanship of many articles he made was rather crude and it took long hours the years have brought many improvements from those pioneer days we have come to rely on the specialist in each craft and we have bet ter products in more liberal quantities the long hours of the pioneer days are not necessary to provide for our needs and for luxury no one would want to revert to those pioneer days but wtlh the concentration of specialists in our production and our consequent dependence on each other has come another problem that of one group enforcing on the lives of others their individual and selfish demands regardless of the common welfare of our felowmen yes we have made great strides from the pioneer days in our mode and conveniences of living we sometimes wonder if our thinking and consideration of our fellow men has kept pace with production lines new processes and great conveniences in our everyday life the wars the strikes the argument the force that seem so com monplace m our efforts in solving our common problems of living together as human beings in dicates that our relationships give little considera tion for the other fellow perhaps it would be wise if we concentrated on how to live together amicably for a while and relinquished our selfish ness and our concentration on the production lines in that way lies progress for all editorial notes haveri t heard anyone complain that this sum mer isn t a real old fashioned one like we used to i ave musinc manor tea newspapers in halton as well as
