page two the acton free press acton ontario thursday may 6lh 10m it happens every thursday in communities all across canada for forty yoats wfc are reminded in an item read this week that for 40 years we have been experimenting with daylight saving as a canadian people we are far from being settled about our time in al berta and prince edward island summer time is banned completely x elsewhere in towns and cities from april to september you are liable to find any time in use in this immediate district time is fairly uniform but we of course have trains on standard time and bus travel on daylight saving time forty years and the time is still very much confused every summer it s therefore not at all surprising that the mat ter of store hours finds confusion when a change is undertaken not being fully conversant with re tail problems we are not prepared to take any part in the discussion of retail store hours it is a matter that takes time and some consideration judging from the experience of daylight saving it will take many years to get a solution that is workable in all towns tax analysis in these days when so much of the local tax dollar goes toward educational costs it is quite understandable that municipal councils give close scrutiny to the amounts that are asked by school boards to be raised each year it is well however to bear in mind that both councils and school boards are bodies chosen by the people in open election both are therefore directly responsible lo those who elect them while councils are the only body with power to levy taxes they must raise the funds asked for by school boards council s only recourse on de benture issues for schools is a direct appeal to the people we do not know why it is that in the pub lie thinking councils as a rule get all the blame for tax rates in reality they have control over little cf municipal expenditure debenture costs for municipal improvements must be met and are usually sanctioned by vote of the electors the amount of school levies and courityf ales re beyond contropot councils lake these three items from your tax rate and it will readily be seen how little is left for the adminis tration of council of course there are other fixed charges too such as maintenance of streets gar bage collection street lighting fire protection etc all of these and more go into acton s tax levy each year it might be well if every taxpayer gave attention each year to the summary of the tax levy printed on the tax bills as well as ust the amount of the taxes due mothers day this sunday probably two of the most significant days in the year other than christmas and easter are another s day and father s day this sunday is mother s day a day of respect and gratitude ex pressing all the warm and happy feelings that are due the country s mothers w d howells summed up a very sound ob servation when he said a man never sees all that his mother has been to him till its too late to let her know that he sees it if anyone has played an important part in the advancement of the world it is the least heard of groupthe mothers who have influenced and in structed the greatest men and the greatest women of the world mothers are seldom heard from as a group yet their place in the way of life to which we are accustomed is beyond all doubt the most important john quincy adams lincoln and napoleon all great men uttered words which in effect said all that i am my mother made me but it is not ust the great men who owe so much to their mother it is the little men the ordinary people who through spiritual and character develop ment gamed from their mothers have been able to take and hold their place in the pattern of everyday living sunday is mother s day mothers don t ex pect the biggest and the best of something in deed most of them expect nothing at all a little extra consideration a little more help an extra smile ust a simple expression of appreciation for what mother has done for you will satisfy her this sunday on her day just remember her kind ly and wear a flower bxxtinq lutwn th ujw the roxy theatre provided me with some good laughs u it did others at ue recent showing of it happens every thursday as may be understood it had to do with the production of a weekly newspaper and the efforts of the new purchaser to build up a hrok en down paper contests and a stubborn press with the rain making efforts of the new editor provide the plot of the story the book written by the editors wife is equally am us ing but the picture provides the most laughs it happens every thursday in acton too but the stubborn press that required mostly a good kick to get it into action isnt on the scene across canada though there are weekly newspapers serv ing communities of smaller area than acton and it can be a tough struggle with fickle equipment and advertisers its the weekly newspapers icross the country over 700 of thtm that tell the important local ivtnts that go to mnkc

other centres there is seldom a more regular letter from home and the content of local names and the activities of local friends is the information most of us enjoy after it is a few miles behind us yes it happens every thursday the weekly chronicling of the events of camdiin people in the smaller centres will continue to be the roll of weeklies and will no doubt find nadv acceptance while editors ind pubhstuis ire part of ihi community w noh e ast west south its possible the nuisance of canvassers from out of town going to homes and business places is prevalent in most towns some towns do not do anything with these fellows who take with them any busi ness they can get and pay absolutely nothing to the support of the town the business men in acton pay a business tax each year as well as a property tax and from these taxes the municipal ity is maintained in dundas no one can go from door to door selling magazines and services without first ob taming a permit from the town the chief of police of that town last week pointed out that any canvasser should have a license and a letter of recommendation signed either by the mayor or the chief of police it was pointed out that every household should request any canvasser to show these credentials issued by the local authorities the police were willing to protect its c tizens if they were notified by any residents if these can vassers were working in town such an arrangement in any town would be beneficial it would protect at zens from un scrupulous salesmen in dundas accord ng to the chief of pol ce it s unlawful to so c t
