the acion frtr irtss ac ion ontario nitjilsday sfftbmber 23 ibm rtadlng bttwn wi llni traditional british reserve not evident in students from england working together the 1954 acton fair is now tike ita predeces sors a matter of history except for the cleaning up and storing equipment that like many other duties attendant on those who give so much time and effort in making the event possible is very necessaryeven if not one of the most pleasant tasks in spite of adverse weather conditions the 1 954 acton fair was a fine success over 40 years of trial and experience and a fine cooperative spirit between rural and town citizens have made success through the years possible some of these times the weather for acton fair will be good but until it is officials have gone through a trial by water and sunny skies on the third friday and saturday of september will be really appreciated exhibits and timet have changed since the early days of holding fairs in acton the local fair has kept pace with the times we well recall when six fairs were held each year in halton county only three of them are still operating to keep an event such as the fall fair a real attraction requires the cooperation of the whole district and the friends who call acton their home community that working together was again evident this year while that spirit exists among all of us the fair and any other event will be successful to president ray everdell and every officer and helper exhibitor and visitors and all hearty congratulations are due on another successful ac ton and district event really it was fun working together even if bones ached from the exertion or lust from lakmg part in the donkey baseball in the centre it seems that we do more than our share of going about during the season of best travel con d tions m this part of canada it seems we ust cannot res st taking opportunities for seeing at f rst hand the development going on in this part cf canada so for a few hours on friday we went to guelph to attend the official opening of the new transformer plant of canadian general elec tr c transformers for electric power play quite an mportant role in our every day life which we fully realize vshen a power service is interrupted the new plant at guelph was opened with a bang when 3 000 000 volts of electric energy were d scharged in a copper wire we hope we ate r ght in our figures and technical description but t was the noisiest opening we ve ever wit nessed and the closest approach to thunder and ghm ng we ever want to experience in any bu id ng the plant is m operation now and over 700 people are now employed there its operation w ii make quite an impression on guelph and the mmediate district speakers at the event were hon c d howe and hon leslie m frost two men who are seeing a good deal of the expansion tak ng place m ontario iq plants all over the pro v nee and fostering that development we were particularly interested to learn that the guelph plant was a part of the policy of this company m decentralization of its work we know of many communities which will be glad to hear that big companies have passed the phase of hav ng all their plants in one city or town or under one roof canada is a big place made up of a few big concentrat ons of population and a lot of i ttle places where people live more happily and not so expensively some of these little places would welcome industries wh ch would give em ployment of a hundred or so but a factory of 1 000 people would create a d ff cult situation for them n the publ c services that are necessary on every s de one hears these days of con n led expansion n th s part of ontar o new fac tones new homes new subd v s ons new h gh ways truly it s a great period n wh ch to i ve and be

perhaps two to three per cent canadian achievement we have been more than a little gratified ol the spirit of canadian independence that has shown itself in so manyway in the last few weeks topping it off of couriv was ibe feao young marilyn bell in doing btterlkan the world s long distance swimmer who had been im ported for a special event and at some consider able outlay at the c n e then the past week there has been evidence that canadians aren t going to take it sitting down in the furore that hos been created when decorations from the united states were used in dressing up niagara falls for a celebration on other occasions we have deplored giving ihe united states so much prominence in canada we expect old glory to be seen south of the border where you never see a canadian flag but its display in canada is out of place and in poor taste speaking of flags it still doesn t seem to be generally known that the red ensign is canada s official flag until such time as the canadian parlia ment otherwise decrees but we are not fussy whether it is the union jack or the canadian flag which finds prominence in our decorations they both belong in canada and in the hearts of can adians in passing we might also put in a word for canadian talent there has been much outspoken critcism of the stars for the c n e grandstand show being imported sunday night we went again to the grandstand at the c n e to hear and see the massed bands of the armed forces in their annual concert we hope there were many c n e officials there too for color and splendor and performance that concert on sunday evening gave something that will not be outclassed anywhere on this continent some of it might welt be work ed into the c n e grandstand show next year yes we are mighty pleased with canadian effort and achievement and we need take no sec ond place to any importations let s see more of it i real leadership 1y llarttoy im am nnnillnri nltitli nln dull iii thi i inimnmiiit mnylie wr

the reform club in quebec city the prime minister is reported as stat ing in emphatic terms that the liberal policy is dedicated to the building of a strong united canada and that it has worked to provide the greatest good for the greatest number his ad dress is heralded as marking the turning point in relations between the federal government and the present government of the province of quebec speaking as a french canadian mr st laurent said i do not agree that quebec cannot be a province like the others i do not fear that if our culture is placed beside others it will wither and perish i do not fear that we may be absorbed or annihilated in north america of the union nationale mr st laurent said there are those who do not like to speak about the details of their administration like a piece of road building that costs five or six times what it should in effect the pr me minister accused premier dupless s of inflating the provincial autonomy is sue n order to d vert attention from the faults of h s government canada s a country of 10 prov nces quebec s one of the oldest of that union that stretches from ocean to ocean perhaps behind ts age and h stoncal background one member of any fam ly may cla m a considerat on of spec al pr v lege such an attitude s not good for the family as a whole or for the pr v leged member e ther we commend the statesmansh p of pr me m n ster st laurent and we believe t w ii have the adm rat on of the vast maor ty of canadians it takes courage for such a stand for the r ght and canada needs more leaders and moulders of pub i c opinion such as
