the acton free press acton ontario tkun9day november 4tti 1m the need goes on the rehabilitation and restoration following the hurricane is going to be a long task the dis aster story and pictures have been pushed off the front page news and replaced by more recent events but the work of getting homes together again finding shelter and adequate clothing be fore the advent of winter is something which only those who suffered can fully realize that is the reason why the hurricane relief fund needs now and will need in the months ahead the best contribution you can give if you can not give it all at once make arrangements to give it over a period because the work of restor ing has barely started and the need is not even et fully estimated as the weeks go by more and more damage will be revealed in the clearing up process it is not too late to help the hurricane relief fund give out of a thankful heart that you were spared from the flood there are convenient ways to make your contribution through the banks and payroll deductions and other opportunities right here in the home community just because the hurricane is not top news now is no indication that the need has been filled its your neighbors right here in ontario that re quire your help don t fail them in their need the real muddlers bemoaning surpluses premier douglas of sas katchewan told u of t s ccf club that private enterpise which has solved the problems of pro duction has failed miserably to solve the prob lems of distribution the ccf says that the thing to do with surpluses is toflet them to the people who need them what surpluses has mr douglas in mind wheat surplus was not brought about by any failure or ineptitude better surplus results from ottawa s insistence on buying it from farmers at 17 cents per pound above the world price if private enterprises were handling wheat and butter they would very quickly get the sur pluses to the people who need them because if they did not they would go broke fact is that all the big surpluses in north america today are in the hands of governments only they are wealthy enough and callous enoughto hoard vast stocks of food while most cl the world goes hungry a special month the second last month of the year has rolled around and with it come municipal nominations over the years there have been many changes all with the thought in mind of creating citizenship interest in municipal work the change from late december to november for nominations was one of these plans and then the innovation to make an allowance of fees for men or women who serve the public all of these changes have been help ful but all of them combined have not been whol ly successful we sometimes think that if all the citizens who find fault would ust join with those who are do ing their utmost we might come closer to the ideal of representative municipal government as the ears go along it appears to be getting more and more difficult to get citizens who will serve on the councils commissions and boards that are neces sary for the conduct of our municipal affairs the fault of course is n the lack of interest cf all citizens only a small percentage each year will take the trouble to reg ster their vote these are days when our town is growing and expand ma if good gu dance s to be g ven we need the effort and interest of every citizen it is not too early to rh nk ser ously ot iunc pal affairs for next year and encouraqe the men or women whom you cons der wou d qve aood auidance don t hes tate to speak the ldy and encourag ng word as vem as the crtcal one

and plan construe u v for he we fare of acton short use when we go to toronto we are of course ac customed to see some tearing down or ripping up in the downtown section long before the sub way was thought of this was typical of thjcity the cost must be enormous but in spite of it fhere has been more progress in toronto than in lots of cities and towns where the old was kept standing and made to meet the needs this was called to our attention particularly the other day it seems only a couple of years ago that a lovely modern bus depot was erected on adelaide street we were a bit shocked the other week to see the wreckers on the job smash ing it down and taking the rubble away we sup pose another structure of some sort will take its place and greater revenue will be secured from the site than was possible for a bus depot to pro duce we wondered what would happen if some council became imbued with the idea that our town hall was inadequate and the site could be of more value for some other purposes we won dered what reaction would take place if the build ing was wrecked and a new one of ample size was planned for the site or on property adjoining then we recalled the nightmare of criticism taxes doubt approvals of municipal board and all the other things such an undertaking would in cur and realized tt ust couldn t happen here some way or other we ust have to wear out our buildings in the small towns we can t wreck them after a few years of use cities have pro cedures that cannot be followed in small towns and perhaps we are ust as happy living comfort ably as in the wrecking stage continually rmading bmtwn thm ifiws acton band towns oldest group provides monthly concerts among our exchanges this week i read that in cheater the rote payers will this year vote on band bylaw to give a fixed an nuol amount otamunlclpal fundi each year or the support of the town band that was all settled in acton back in the days when charlie mason was leading the boys band to championships at waterloo and the cne and its been a real lift in keeping a band attending the band concert on sunday evening in the public school auditorium i felt it was fortunate that the funds had been provided by the municipality for continuance of acton band for tunate arc we too that a few years ago a boys band was active because they largely make up the senior band of lodny yes and fortunate too that all the older bandsmen like charlie mason and teddy denver rudolph spiel vu gel and charlie lands borough nnd a lot more have kept up their band work over these years but a band needs more than financial support there was a rather small ntlendnnce at this first concert what it lacked number it madt up in enthusiasm nnd the band boys realized their concert was npprecinled speaking now as one who used to piny in tht band i know how the bovs appreciate playing to n full house it kivls one a rial lift to have a big audience and an ap preciative uni the fellows in the band get no financial remunera tion for their concerts or the nights of practice necessary to pre pare a concert but they do get a thrill when they have the loyal support of all citizens its our band for the time we as a municipality have provided some funds to assure a contln trance of acton citizens band we have a fine auditorium in the pub lie school and the co operation of the school board had made poa slble using these fine facilities for band concerts once a month the next concert will be the last sunday in november judging by the first program a fine winter series is in store for lovers of band music we know the band will be encouraged by bik audiences and tht school auditorium we under stand will seal four hundred fin ances need not hinder anyone from attending since only a bilver col lection is received and your con tribution is voluntary since 1873 acton has had a band its a remarkable history for any organization it s had its tips and downs its triumphs and its lean years acton band was playing for garden parties before the days of electric lights when the bandsmen wore little oil burning torches on the ir caps ll s offering fine music leday the linnd deserves the en courngeim nl i us all the good old days may have seemed better n w schedules change some of these times we re going to get a year ahead of schedule remember when the new models of cars came out in the spring when the roads were inviting and all outof doors was call ing that was of course when tops on cars were used only in case of rain or snow and air condi tioning and heaters were unheard of things now the 1955 models come out in late 1954 and you get the urge to trade in the old model so you won t be stuck in the bad weather with pos sible repairs on cold days or nights of course the hockey season was at one time dependent on ils start for the freezing weather now it seems that june july and august are the only months missed in the hockey schedules man has not had much success in changing the weather but there certainly has been progress made in regulating our facilities so that they are not so dependent on the season some of us can remember when motor cars couldn t even be kept running m a good shower and the advent of win ter called for putting the car up on blocks drain ing the radiator and taking out the battery now they work as long as the water is below the floor boards as many found out in the recent hurricane right m the face of coming winter months ahead out come the shiny new models for next year saved by the yells in oakville plans to demolish the towns 1
