increase in predicted for this year the strike method has entered a new phase its success in this field will be watched with interest but it would seem probable that force here will not be as great as in industry it appears to be difficult for the average citi zen to understand that rising taxes are a problem of their own making better roads more munici pal services bigger schools higher salaries are demanded in many cases spending is voted on and carried by large majorities there is only one place to meet these rising costs andthat is from the taxes collected whether it be at the municipal provincial or federal level for years we have been living under the as sumption that more services demanded were be ing provided by santa claus the tax strike is not the solution a more effective means would be to lower our demands on the public purse and the realization that we are the folks who put the fonds in the public purse its interesting to note too how loudly a tax increase is protested but what little praise is given to public bodies when a rate is maintained or lowered maybe that is the reason that it becom es more and more difficult to find publicspirited citizens so reluctant to accept public office recently we talked with a man who has serv ed the public for many years he was very pleas ed that a citizen had taken the effort to write a letter thanking him for attention that had been given a condition that required attention on a public street a letter of appreciation was so un usual that he was once more encouraged in his public service there are so many ways to get better public service than by striking against ourselves that its a wonder more consideration is not given them a distanc what makes the stars weve often wondered as we watched televi sion radio or movies haw many celebrities or stars wouldbe popular if they quit patting them selves on tjle back a big part of most every pre duction is used solely to tell what or who took part one sometimes wonders if the production ib as importanfas the producers we could well imagine how monotonous a printed article or story would be tp the readers if in the introduction of the article a review would proceed it telling who performed each part in the production for instance we might tell you that the wood from which this newsprint was- made was grown in quebec province and produced at grand mere shipped by cnr delivered by a- well- known cartage company- the ink was made in oakville and a story was reported by our camp- bellville correspondent and edited by one of the staff the type was set on a certain model lino type and by a star operator on the staff proof reading was by so and so and corrections were by another wellknown corrector page makeup and press makeready was by jim folding was done by another star and mailing by some one else on the team and delivery by the local post office staff etc by the time we get through all that quite like ly our readers would be in the same sort of re laxation as are the folks who have it presented before or after each production of radio televi sion or movie its the story that counts for more than the folks who bring it to you whp cares who made the costumes who did the photo graphy or who was the foreman in charge of the works but then where would the stars be born or the oscars thrown or where would one find out wrctwas a good dressmaker and who was good at makeup remember if those vwwwwwwwwtw n they dont know so long as the momentum of growth of the vanishing canadian might well describe this haughty figure who if he

be both shorter and less severe than those occurring be low the border that seems to be a good forecast comments the financial post more evidence might be quoted as confirmation even back before the last war there were several occasions when busi ness eased off in the united stales with but minor repercussions here part of the explanation for this relatively greater statiility in canada lies in the fact that there has been less fluctuation in consumer rpending hoie than in the unitod states another big advantage for canada lies in tim ing almost invariablyjhese slowdowns start somewhere in the united states if they are short they will probably have run most of their course before the average canadian jiears much about them in that case there will be little or no shock c the timid and pessimistic on this side of the line who otherwise might have immediately clamped down on buying in these days when regulations of store hours i such a changing apd contentious matter among business men and customer s it is rather interest ing to note that in calgary the city council has decided that the regulating of store hours was no concern of theirs after more than 40 years of more or less successful operation the municipal restrictions have been lifted actual hours are now up to the good sense of the store owner himself and subject of course to provincial and federal regulations concerning sundays statutory holidays and hours of labor the trouble seems to be in most communities hat regulations are never kept in step with changing trends of the shoppers today much shopping is done after the huiband is home from work modern methods oi keeping perishables ollow buying in larger quantities with all our attempts at regulations municipal bylaws are far from uniform perhaps calgary has the answer to the problem in tossing out all regulations it will be interesting to observe from a great distance ust what the move will mean the experiment will at least relieve municipal
