w mf w v iraobrrwo the acton free press actononftario thursday september 22 1055 first day of autumn nature will begin to paint its panorama of cclor the countryside as wej the first day of autumn sept 21 the brilliant reds mingled with the yellows and dark evergreens will present scenery beyond description in beauty for some reason autumn has been poetically described and thought of as the beginning of the end probably because it introduces the winter months that are cold with barren trees but autumn is really one of the most beautiful seasons comparing quite favorably we think with the bursting growth and greens of spring late autumn has a tang in the air a frostiness that is fresh and bonfire smoke with a fragrant smell autumn seems to be an introduction to steady activity as organizations in the towns and country prepare for a busy season of their activities people dig into community activities a little deep er with the exhaustively hot days back of them when loafing was the most pleasant activity because of renewed interest in activities the tang in the air and the refreshing atmosphere the bright colors of nature and the approach of a new season this time of year have special significance for attofus 7 r look for the pleasant aspects of autumn were sure youll find it an enjoyable and wel come season funny money one of the speakers at the newspaper conven tion in vancouver was premier bennel we wore most interested to hear the head of the province of british columbia whose government the day previous had been successful in an important by- election we were a bit surprised to hear him advance the idea that canada should devaluate the can adian dollar to 90 cents in particular he said i would suggest that having the worlds highest priced dollar is detrimental to every individ ual in our country perhaps we shouldnt have been surprised at the statement either foe british columbia already has made the canadian dollar worth only 95 cents in that province almost everything pur chased carries a tax of five per cent a five dollar purchase costs 525 in bc we asked a sales man in a store in which we made a purchase what the tax was for his explanation was consoling to local fb we used to have a three percent and had to pay half our health insurance bene fits now it is five per cent and we dont have to pay anything perhaps you follow the theory we think we do but we cant see it as a benefit to trade in can ada or british columbia we were duly impressed however with the road building and public works piogram that was outlined in part two of the premiers address reason not force it is becoming more and more apparent that strikes work stoppages and force are not the way to settle differences between labor and-manage- ment government intervention and conciliation boards can be of little use if either side refuses to be reasonable in the matter there are always two sides to any question arid a necessity for both sides to hve a recognition of the other fellows position a war and forceto settle the differences be tween nations of the world concluded 10 years ago force failed to reach a common ground for agreement and in the decade sincethe last shot was fired and the last bomb exploded conferenc es and gatherings of world leaders have been in continuous operation to make a common ground for settling world problem war and force did not end the world problem for which hundreds gave their lives strikes and the forcing of the opinion of one gouhrriotheiw4ilot4etileourproblemsin our own country steel workers won a pay in crease and the price of steel was increased to cover the cost we have had continuous increases in materials we buy following every increased cost of material and labor which has gone inro a product the farmer is apparently the one to whom a strike is not an accessible weapon to enforce fus emands the result is that gover subsidies must came to his assistance to provide purchasing power for this great group of canadians gov ernment assistance does not however open up world markets to a product of the form so m have big surpluses at home while other nations starve because our products cost more than other countries can afford to pay the day is at hand when our products must either be made at prices competitive with world prices or we must have a canadian population large enough to consume all we are capable of producing we must have understanding of the facts that face us not force to meet the demands of small groups to the detriment of canada and the world at large suburbia extends the old order changeth and certainly this country and this area is giving away to the new as new homes spring up new families are welcomed and settled main streets expand and traffic increases rural suburbs and small communities on the outskirts of metropolltattcenlres are providing an answer to a dream that many young couples with growing families have for the wide open spaces of the country the survey of a recent magazine indicates that most of the couples are between the ages of 25 and 36 with an annual income from 4000 to 7000 who pay 85 to 135 rent monthly for their new apartments or 12000 to 25000 for the privilege of owning a 20 year mortgage this group of suburbia are of course directly responsible for large housing developments that have mushroomed in widening circles around the city outskirts perhaps thai is why the same magazine points out in an article thai could quite easily be related that canadians are borrowing al a record clip the average canadian citizen already owes almost 12 per cent of his takehome pay and more than 1000000 canadians this year will borrow over another 220 million the widening circle of suburbia is evident in this area as planners and builders look for con tinued increases in population to some the change comes as a radical step to progress while c others it appears as an unwanted growth but towns and suburbs with gardens and larger lots provide many harassed businessmen with the feeling of security thai comes with wojk cutside or around the house the old order changeth and a lot of people seem a lot happier honor to builders enroute to the west coast we saw indications here and there of construction of the new trans- canada highway the obstacles met with in many places are stupendous clinging to the sides of the mountains tons of fill and blasting to get a foothold for the road the job is a marvel the machinery used was big but the crew of men was small then we looked at the construction of the rail way on which we travelled we nored the date on some of the tunnels we referred to the rail way guide that is given to passengers on the trip that rpad was built through thai mountains before the day of heavy road machinery aaen with strong backs and horses were used to make the construction modern methods are marvellous but for per severance and skill with inadequate equipment the honor for blazing a passage across the rocky mountains goes to the men of an earlier genera tion in spite of these days of motor travel more and more folks are still finding that the most pic turesque route is by way of the rails that were laid and engineered early in the century railway officials report that this year has broken all records for travel across western can ada and air travel is not gaining ground as was the case a year ago one cannot help but give silent tribute to those who first took people through to the west coast and played a part so important in the development of canada
