the acton free press acton ontario raadlng bfwn t7i linmt thursday march 251k 1b34 no april fool when you get your municipal tax bills this year it will be drawn to your attention that the provincial government has made certain contnbu tions the implication is of course- that if the municipality had not received this amount you would have been called upon to raise it in a municipal levy what your tax bill doesn t tell you however is that you contributed these amounts to the pro vincial treasury in the first place every gallon of gasoline you bought had a ten cent tax on it every bit of liquor or beer you drank made you cough up and we use the expression in a double sense every time you paid a police court fine the province took the lions share and as a re sult of this and other ways too numerous to men tion mr frost was in spite of his generosity as shown on the tax bill well able to budget for another surplus and have a highway construction scandal that nobody knows at what cost o those who pay the provincial levies if you have time or interest after you look at the figures that are of first importance on your tax bill give consideration to these provincial gifts that are displayed if you still have time and the inclination for further mathematics you might count up how much gasoline tax you paid for the privilege of getting this pittance back into your municipal treasury mill rates assessments grants and subsidies can be very confusing make no mistake about it however the only money that any government has to dole out is the money that you paid to it in the first place- less the cost of administration of your funds beware the stranger in these days of keener competition there is bound to grow up an increasing number of indi viduals who want to make a fast dollar at the ex pense of someone else the householders are going to see more door to door salesmen the business men are going to have more glib tong ued callers with schemes that will stimulate trade these specialists have been appearing more often and we predict this is only the beginning in the spring and early summer days when travel is more pleasant we are going to see more of these folks seeking our dollars and offering give away proposals that a careful examination will prove unsound we ve had the chimney re pair gang and the bank book racketeers and im magazine salesmen already they are only the forerunners there is only one safe course to follow with the stranger who calls at your door he hasn t anything to offer you as good as you can get fom the merchant or dealer in your home town remember these fellows werent calling on you when goods were scarce remember too that they invariably make a big profit on every sale yotj can get a better deal from the merchant deal er or service man in your home town and he is always available to stand behind the goods or services he gives you the forgotten man the pedestrians today are in the minority aroup and are receiving less and less attention in winter time roadways are kept plowed and open for traffic but the shovelled sidewalk is a hit and miss matter in spring the sidewalks are often impossible until the warmer weather comes and the surface water can get away in the street drains adding to the pedestrians discomfort is the mud m his eye that ts always possible as he or she pursues their way and the motorist passes by the reason for lack of attention to the needs cf pedestrians must be the fact thai they are a mm onty group more of our tax dollars go for road maintenance than for sidewalk repairs new roads come first in any newly developed section and it is often many years beton sidewalk con struction is even considered in a society with so many pressure groups that bring attention of their needs to the govern ing bodies it does seem that a pedestr ans un ion must organize and become active if human beings are to continue to use their lower limbs as a means of getting from one place to another outside the office or plant door another day if canadians are going to sell goods in the world markets of today we are going to be fore ed to give greater production during the years when many countries were at war and when the replacement of war damage and scarcity of goods made an easy market the price factor in trade was not the first consideration now the battlegrounds are turned back to peaceful pursuits the scars left by war are being wiped out and the world is back again in the market places with goods which mankind uses in everyday life it is nearly nine years since the second world war was finished and those post war years have been almost as active in an indus trial sense as the years in which the battles raged prices and wages have up until the present con tinued to mount we on this continent are enoy ing a high standard of living no one wants to see that standard of living lowered but if it is to be maintained the way is not through subsidization or shorter hours the test is now on for making the hours of work more productive for putting our ingenuity to work to create better products and more pf them from the same hours of labor canadians with their wealth of natural resources have no cause for alarm in maintaining their place in world market there may be changes necessary we may have to work a little harder to develop our resources but we must realize that the days of easy sale are over and the competition for the consumer markets of the world are back with us again 2663 lack full time work in area picture isnt as bad as rumored work

isint thin is that sud dtnly thi quantltv of laboi has met the requirements of mdusliv for thi first time miui 1939 thi sudden change in the employment picture is what makes it so news worthy evidintly since govern ment and union figures on unem plnyment are bemrt explained and i x pressed regularly no official estimate is available on the numbei of people who leave town each day for

club with the hope that you would share in helping children of this town and district and throughout the province to face life without a handicap those easter seals which were in your letter are an appeal from crippled children for your assistance to rise above their handicap while the letter is at hand why not put in your donation and mail it back to your rotary club so that the good work can continue the work for crippled children is not one in which great publicity can be given to individual cases its surprising how many children there are nghl in your own district who are receiving attention of the rotary club and the crippled children s society every year thee are more cases that require attention and the constant cost lequired in corrective measures for crippled child i ren is long and tedious braces and spec al ap pliances must be adusted to meet the require ments of growing children the road to normal lite is not an easy one for the crippled child but won i you help make their recovery pos ible by making your contribution as liberal as possible and bring iht oy of new i fe to these litlie ones easter seals are your practical way of saying he is risen other papers say we are much too careless in qranting dr vers licenses states the sydney post record if cer tain drivers bound for destruction are not so men icily incompetent as io require them to be placed in an
