room for cooperation the upheaval of acton streets for the original sewer system has long been forgot ten in most quarters with it thank good ness seems to have gone the label of bad roads that actbn quite innocently acquired from those who had to navigate the upside down streets today s streets are the envy of many municipalities because they are nearly all paved with the exception of the newer sec tions naturally the maintenance costs on the streets have been cut considerably and this has made it possible to cover the de benture payments that were necessary to put the streets in such good shape 1 one big thing with paved streets though ls the need for sweeping after the winter s jaccumulation of sand is bared in the spring many of the mem streets have been swept but a number yet remain to be cleared we would expect this will be done as quickly as time and weather permit street sweeping in acton however is done by hand and we can t imagine any task more laborious experiments last yetnr with mechanical street sweepers didn t prove too satisfactory but perhaps the problem could be tackled by the north halton urban board as more and more pavement is added to urban streets in this growing north halton section the problem of street sweeping will increase not only in acton but in george town and milton we haven t any idea what street sweep ing equipment costs but it is undoubtedly plenty would it be possible for one machine to sweep streets in the three towns with greater efficiency and economy than in one town or by hand methods in these days when industry is becoming more and more specialized co operatives are being formed and plants are being con sol id ated it seems imperative that adacent mun icipalilies seek every economy possible through co operation the streets may have to be swept by hand again this year but perhaps the subject could be studied for next year roads study needed halton s proposal for a full scale study of the county road system indicates the tcounty s wish to keep up with these fast limes and comes not a moment too soon as announced recently the study would peer into existing traffic requirements and formulate proected plans for road develop jnents with the projected use of lands lining our roads system a big undertaking the probe would be carried out under authority f a local management committee whose jwork wquld be augmented by efforts of a technical advisory group made up of the iounry assessor local planning directors and department of highways officials i and why such a comprehensive study of uhalton s existing and future road needs progress can be blamed for the explosion of population in the county and especially in the southern section has created an over balance of people for the number of roads which serve them for instance burlington s population increased 24 755 from 1950 to 1959 including nelson and east flamboro s now in the towns limits oakville jumped 4 338 to 1 0 1 56 and trafalgar added 1 8 973 for a 1959 population of 25 107 this repre sented two thirds of the county s increase over that period and development in the southern section of the county still overshad ows the north halton s population has gvown much more rapidly than that of ontario and there is no indication that the boom will cease nassagaweya and acton are the only mun icipahties in the county increasing population slower than the ontario average higher traffic vqlumes brought by the population burst have developed the need for roads built to a higher standard changes in land use have brought the need of road development to an urban type standard when the committee makes its recommenda tions it must judge present land uses and traffic needs as well as those of the future our hope is that their plan of action will meet these needs on an orderly rational basis commensurate with the county s abil ity to meet costs of the work weakness at the summit 1 the ladder of mutual fear leading to the summit talks is ust as frail as it hac been in the past as ev danced by its recant rtumb ling since v j day criticism has been levelled against the steps carried out during the war to secure russia as a firm ally the world should have learned by now the weaknesses of coalitions between powers the instru ments of allied union were the big three conferences of churchill roosevelt and stalin with their political and military adviiers and experts grave military and political matters had to be ironed out it was not easy to maintain even the anglo american collebora tion which was perhops the closest military collaboration between two major sovereign powers alt down the line an american in command always had a britisher as his sec ond and vise versa at the highest level the combined chiefs of staff in close touch with top amer ican and british government officials did the over all planning the russians were never broughfinto such close military cooperation and in the field the russians always fought on their own there were a great many major rifts among thoiswwmit members and only one fear kept therfi together to at least win the war this was the fear of a powerful common enemy which is now tacking bet ween the u s and russia the two most pow erful nations in the world today and fore most in leadership within a number of years possibly a de cade red china may take germany s old seat as the common enemy but until then all nations can sit under one roof and talk and possibly achieve some settling differences in an extremely gradual manner that may pre vent such a repeat performance the u n is undoubtedly weak in many respects but all will agree it is better to talk than to fight khrushchev s blasting of the latest sum mit conference may be his way of gaming prestige and favor from red china and from dissenters in moscow it does however un derlme the frailty of the ladder that leads to the summit it does too underl ne how the good intentions and peaceful hopes of the western world can be toyed with by a less humane government cleaning hazards spring is o pleasant time of the year but its also a time of special danger for children springcleaning painting and work in the garden usually mean there will be boxes bot ties and cans about containing ingredients which are poisonous if swallowed the canadian association of consumers offers a timely warning noting that children under five are the most frequent victims of accidental poisoning and suggesting special precautions to assure their natural curiosity does not lead to serious consequences h is difficult
