last there was even more participation than a year go the cemeteries saw more decoration of the graves to those who arrange and work on this occasion a great deal of credit is due it is a time for honoring memories it pro vides an occasion for rhahy from out of town to meet friends under circumstances that bring back hallowed memories each yea sees more new graves in the local cemeteries and more faces missing from the gathering that meets acton has pioneered in this district in holding an annual decoration day to those who origi nated and maintain it an appreciation is due to those towns which have not yet held these dec oration days we heartily commend it we hope it may spread until it is nationwide an appreciation we often wonder if the general public f ully appreciate the effort of that tireless group in town and district who make possible the staging of public events crowds line the streets for parades quite often and then go back home without lend ing further support to any event lost week in oakville a big band event was staged it is re ported that owing to the weather there were 2o0 present when a crowd of 3000 was expected such things have happened in most every town end the big disappointment is that in every case the workers who staged the event have an ad ditional burden of meeting the deficit we can fully appreciate the reasoning of folks who do not want to be out of doors on a cool damp night we do not write in any critical way of them or the weather but we want to just put in a word of appreciation for those citizens who arrange these public events we dont know that anything can be done to correct the situation but we do hope that the day will never come when our town and district will lack workers who are courageous and enthusiastic in putting on such community affairs and not get downhearted in seeming failure it is such people who make many improvements and advancements possible money can never repay their efforts we just want to add our word of appreciation to the efforts of these publicspirited citizens whose work is rewarded often times only in his tory and satisfaction of having done their best may their numbers never grow less showdown coming whether we like it or not warns the financ ial post pretty soon we are going to be- forced to take a new and aftard and a long look- at this whole railway business were simply not going to be able to continue passing increased costs elong long ago the railways discovered that there is a limit as to what the consumer will pay for moving freight by rail already a lot of stuff that used to be moved entirely by rail now goes by truck or ship or through a pipeline and the high er rail freight rates are hoisted the more idusjness will go to competitors the railways know all about this but under the present setup they cant do much about it they are not free agents not by any means in effejct they are told what they must pay for labor and their freight rates minimum and maximum u are controlled by a government board some of them in fact like grain are controlled by a rigid agreement that goes back to our grandfathers time when wages were a fraction of those that must be paid today and when the cost of a whole train was little more than what a good box car costs now tima have changed and changed greatly in the railway business once these carriers haj al most an absolute monopoly of the transportation business they havent anything like a monopoly r today bfit we art still trying to run the railways v ir tfeiame old straight jacket of 25 or 50 ytars go thar must soon be a faceup of all the facts oh railway operations something new here last week acton council took the very unm- ual procedure of holding a special meeting in which by- unanimous approval of council visitors attending the meeting including the press were excluded we are quite aware that the case un der consideration was the long drawnout bran- kiewicz argument over a rightofway into lake- view subdivision which has already had a lot cf very unfruitful discussions both by council and other groups in town while thesa attempts at settlement have seemed endless we have en deavored lo report the story as it was told since it was public business in which- the town and con sequently every ratepayer was involved having duly reported the preliminaries it is ather odd to miss out on the main bout it will be interesting to see if the new approach will be more successful theres an old chinese saying that a secret is not a secret when it is shared by two persons and it is quite applicable in the pre sent day we are not yet perturbed at the new approach but we are more than a trifle surprised at the at titude which is new to acton public business and the source of the motion which instituted the plan of barring the public from learning at first hand of dealings of council it may be there is need for investigation a need that had never appear ed necessary before the present year the public has a right to full knowledge of the conduct of its business we hope the incident of last week will not establish a precedent for this town its interesting to note that the withdrawal of citizens was orderly no one cheered or jeered there was no fist shaking at council nor any name calling we hope such tactics will never enter the public meetings held here wind and pipe mention pipeline and thoughts immediately turn to ottawa weve read thousands of words on this now infamous issue in conservative papers and liberal papers in hansard the official record of the commons debates in a report to the provincial government in the opinions of editors across canada as well as what has been broad cast to say the issue is clouded would indeed be redundant hansard has been jammed with de bate that is certainly unbecoming to those whom the voters appointed to represent them perhpps three things come into focus from the distant clouds the hue and cry of freedom being attacked is coming from the wrong side of the house there would appear to te a concerted ttenrpl to throttle the majority evidently there if little concern on the value of the pipeline itself because the lack of debate had not only been hit by closure but also by a windy opposition ap parently attempting lo stifle the elected majority while this session is being hamstrung with fist shaking at the speaker consideration of whether to steal the mace or not preparation of five hour speeches and constant consultation of the rule books no constructive counter sugges tions have been outlined by the opposition as a means of improving on the legislation now under fire a completely negative attitude rarely ac complishes much that a pipe line is necessary is indicated by at least one provincial government that of ontario premier frost discussing the ontario section in a speech in february of this year declared i think the present arrangement provides for the fulfill ment of a great opportunity which is before our people probably the one advantageous thing that has come from all the lack of self control on parlia ment hill is the fact that the citizens now realise there is a government that is not some distant automation predictions on the effect of all this turmoil run anywhere from calling a general election this year to thoughts that all will be forgotten by another year what ever the result we can only conclude that we are happy to see people more interested in govern mejajand more ready to talk about it brief comment the majority of people would go along with the idea of main highways bypassing the com munities but an adequate connecting road is by no means an unreasonable request hanna alta herald we keep having difficulty getting delivery of papers each
