look before we leap nine southern ontario counties includ inq halton have aeked that a commission be tet up to investigate and report on the future of county government in ontario in their initial meeting with premier frost the mtercounty group has been able to arrange a meeting with the department of municipal affairs in may or june these nine counties have been working together for about two years toward this commission probe to date 23 of the 38 ontario counties have indicated their support one toronto newspaper suggests the commission might very well ask whether the county system which has changed little since its constitution under the baldwin act of 1849 has any place m ontario of today later the paper suggests the board ontario municipal board might be the pro per authority to start an overall review of the larger municipal boupdaries if there are boundary problems anywhwe there certainly are in halton oakvillerefth ed north to seek a section of trafalgar tra fagar suggested a huge municipality includ ing milton oakville and sections of burling ton nassagaweya and esquesmg milton is hemmed in with little or no industrial land residents in the northern section of burlington ire showing signs of dissatisfaction at one of the ojvl b s bad experiments in large area municipalities georgetown and acton seem content for the moment with their areas rather than scrapping the county system as the toronto newspaper suggests it would seem wiser to expand it into more of the essential services the stumbling blocks of planning and zoning are the municipal boun daries a county wide police system and cen tral justice administration building seem highly logical water will never be pumped to northern municipalities from the lake with out the undertaking of a number of munic ipaltties that could be coordinated through the county system nonsense in our school boundaries lakes children from within walk ing distance of milton s new high school by bus to one north of burlington proper we don t like to see too much centraliza tion of authority it becomes too unwieldly and impersonal but if there is to be stream lining it appears only logical that county jur isdiction be extended to reach over municipal boundaries for the development of essential services too often we hasten to abandon some thing as outdated rather than study its original concept and update its operation to changing rimes more real service the horror of higher urban tax rates is echoed constantly by municipal officials and ratepayers in towns and cities across canada at about this time each year actually though its at the municipal level that tax money goes farthest the toronto daily star reckons that the average home owner m its city pays 70 cents a day toward municipal governmenttwo packs of cigarettes with this his children are educated his streets maintained his garbage collected and his property protected he also gets parks libraries and other amenities in acton it averages out to about 79 cents a day tax dollars spent at the municipal level seem to buy more of the useful things of life than dollars spent at the provincial and feder el levels they provide in a tangible way at least the mechanics for satisfactory living imagine if you can the interest a new garbage truck has in town compared with a new missile being launched somewhere we ve paid for both but we re all ratner local ized in our thinking and selfish in appreciat atmg those things that concern ui mgsl directly it s shocking m a country with our stand ard of living that our municipal services are often primitive and that our municipally offers so little for the sensesattractive flow er beds for instance it is in our towns and cities that more and more canadians live life should be more than satisfactoryit should be pleasurable too it should breed apreciation for the finer things for the aesthetic beauty that stimul ates in this highly practical age this takes money and everything is judged on that basis we put tarvia down rather than grass higher tax rates should not be ihe horror of our times unless they are poorly adminis tered citizens get more real services from their municipal tax dollar lhan from any other mm remembered still h has been 1 5 years since the end of wortd war ii perhaps that s one reason we were pleased to read this week that the graves of canadians m lands across the sea have not been forgotten the following article indicates that those 15 years have not deteriorated the appreciation of those in hoi land for the sacrifice of our allied soldiers arnhem spring in the netherlands s to lend particular warmth and color to ihe cemeteries where nearly 4 000 canadian soldiers le buried the dutch welcome with gratitude and pnde the annual pilgrimage of friends and relatives to the canadian war cemeteries at groetbeek and holten like all other graves of the allied war heres hoping were rooting for pnncess margaret and heritance oh we know she will have a wonderful wedding receive hundreds of gifts and have thousands of photographs taken but what we re really hoping i that she can keep the point of her honeymoon a secret following the announcement of their en gagement that caught the gossip columnists j the good qilfe tmd v beauties raxznnr a w- sctyat cutcl sfuce dead the canadian cemeteries in holland are the charge of the imperial war graves commission they have been landscaped in some of the most beautiful corners of the country on land which was granted in perpetuity by the dutch government next may 4 school children will again go in silent evening procession to lay flowers on the graves fifteen years after the war they still observe with the r parents the day when peace and liberty retuxned to their country the annual ceremony is one of the most touching manifestations one may w tness in holland and editorial writers by surprise there was an aura of enchantment then faced with de mends for copy every day the
