boo acton weve had summer that first reminder each year of the approach of fall the opening of the canadian national exhibition is at hand matter of fact the big show window of canada opens tomorrow with every indication that it will prove as great an attraction r the next two weeks as it has for as many years as we can recall its changed a lot over the years since we first knew it and without a doubt its constant keep ing in step with its day has been the chief factor in maintaining its greater public interest and ever increasing attendance to be great and repre sentative of all of the nation there must be con- slant vigilance on the part of the management to maintain interest for all of canada and the visitors who come to it from other countries each year there are many goodexhibitions throughout the dominion but we like to think of the cne as the show for all of canada following the close will follow the local fairs in the country the places that provide the grounds for the beginners the starting point for showmanship which culminates in the big rings at the cne and makes up the canadian show win dow you can discard your straw hat get out your fall coat usher in the ladies fall styles rignt now its fall fair time you may get some warm days yet but when the exhibition opens its gates you cant count on too many of them getting impatient aa the holes get deeper and multiply in the road surface about town and the temperature drop lower at night citizens become more and more concerned at the road paving program plan ned and through its initial stages of approval true these surfaces do jolt one perpetually as to the need for the improvement but we wonder if some repairs could not be carried out while the main program is in the planning state we recall the general condition about town at the installation of sewers and can appreciate the present state as not nearly aa bad as at that time but sonie time spent now on those pot holes would not be entirely wasted when the paving program starts speaking of installations the company which is putting gas lines on acton streets is making the neatest and best job of any of the installations made to date of course one has to realize that the trenches required ar not nearly as deep and the pipe is mucheasier to install in the big lengths but up to the present laying of gas lines has caused very little inconvenience to traffic perhaps we speak too soon as the main business section is yet to be laid but a word of praise at this stage is certainly due a word of commendation is also due acton public services in the foresight to have water and sewer connections made before the paving pro gram starts citizens can help a great deal in keeping the town offices informed of any future plans which necessitate breaking up of new pave ment much ado about rail safety the brotherhood of locomotive firemen in public hearings before the federal conciliation board presided over by judge j c anderson of iluita h kllicr tvln young responsibility ii highly typified in this picture of the young lad after the mail readers whose youth was spent on a farm will well remember the daily trip to the mail box to fetch the contents when there were some or see if the frog mischievously imprisoned there the day before was still inside george started it it appears that the tests of endurance and human torture in the water are things that are no longer news to take their place we may have to introduce bullfighting into canada but for the j present perhaps professional wrestling wifl have to do news must of course be unusual to con tinue to be news the straits of juan de fuca the perils of the cold waters of lake ontario have been conquered and also beaten those who have tried to conquer them so many times in the past few weeks that the score board is getting a bit cluttered up the advertiser at new toronto in a main headline last week urged that the popular mari lyn bell return back home the paper took a poll of its subscribers two hundred and fortytwo folks urged her to give up her attempt on the straits and return home while only 1 1 said she should try again this year the comments pub lished by that home town paper of the young swimmer were most interesting arid trioleate many people are disgusted with marathon tests of endurance that provelittle it is rather interesting to note the lowering of the prize money only last week brenda fisher collected a small fraction of the prize awards for crossing the lake that were showered on another fine swimmer who failed in her attempt to be really successful one wonders if a wealthy spon sor and publicity agents arent the things that are most important in these events most folks will recall george young who was a toronto boy and started the present craze wheh he swam at catalina youll remember too bow he didnt do so well back home after and went out of the swim really to cause a proper fuss in the game the swimmer should come from t6- ronto or at least have lived there for some jime before plunging into the lake we cant evervre- call what happened to poor old george but he sore should be remembered by a splashing foun tain somewhere in the queen cjtyfor the contests he has sparked down through the years with the completion of such a memorial lets have no more sick and crying young girls being pulled from the water just before they drown belleville is making much ado about firemen on diesels being essential to safety of rail operations but is safety of rail operation really at issue in the dispute between the brotherhood and the cpr isrft the safety argument of the rail union ef fectively answered by the cprs statement that it intends to provide an engineers helper at semi skilled wages in every diesel locomotive in pas senger operation isnt it answered too by the fact that the head trainman rides in the cab of every freight diesel surely two men in each diesel locomotive in operation in passenger or freight service should be enough to meet every safety requirement without crowding the cab and overloading the payroll with firemen who have literally nothing to do on a diesel anyway against such a background of facts all this talk of the rail unions about firemen being need ed for the safe operation of dieselpowered trains sounds suspiciously like a red herring to cover the trail of union featherbedding practices the bible rkv o p paeson district secretary i upper canada rllil keelaty worryis like a rocking chair ifwlngive you something to do bur it wont get

says dalton robertson in the financial post thats the latest count as recorded by the dominion bureau of statistics in its consumer price index the july 1 index figure is up a re cord 1185 from 1178 in june it indicates the purchasing power of the dollar kasdropped by almost onefifth in seven years this country has no monopoly on the less val uable dollar if you lived in the us your dollar would buy goods worth only 842 of the 1949- yintage cents this doesnt mean its2c per dollar cheaper to save across the border it only indicates that the cost of living here while paralleling the us rise has edged up even a little higher relatively than it has climbed in the us brief comment we know of no reminder seemingly more dis liked than to mention that the last days of the school summer
