acton this week the fuge pncss issues its annual christmas shopping edition it is made possible by the cooperation of acton merchants who believe in home town method of presenting their christmas shopping news in the way one would expect in the hometown newspaper they tell you where and what you can buy in acton after thoroughly perusing their messages you will finxl that there is very little if any of your christmas shopping that cannot be done better here than elsewhere perhaps some readers have noticed that recently big city toronto refused to allow new oil com pany to establish its tanks in the city since it did not want any further competition thats putting wall round the city with vengeance and if one will care to study the home town tactics of these city folks it would take on new meaning for buying in your home town just shop through these chrstmas offerings make comparisons if you wish and we know full well that the merchants will be quite content to icavo the decision for your verdict the presentation of the case is in your hands follow the buying guides as presented in the advertisement messages of the local newspaper this issue like all others is all printed in acton and giving employment to actotr workmen the day after in number of centres it is planned to observe boxing xay as holiday the stores in these places will remain closed the day after christmas as well as on christmas day the idea seems to be gaining in popularity and with boxing duy coming on satur day this year it will likely be observed more gener ally this year the day after christmas is usually considered pretty poor day for business at any rate folks seem to have spent all they had and appetites for more are not as keen op the day following the christmas festivities we know full well that merchants require all the business possible and the observance of the day is one solely for thei decision industries will this year in moist cases not open on saturday as the luilf days operation is scarcely profitable if taxeti would ije lower an extract from recent speech of hon isley minister of national revenue should be studied seriously by all who decry the huge expen ditures of governments we just quote it and ieav the thought as presented the sales tax now stands at the level olv8tt it would be idle for me to deny that the sales hix is heavy tax the weight of this tax upon the whole community is keenly realized every day by those charged with the responsibility for its col lection have only two observations to make in reference to this tax the first is that individuals corporations and commuufrfes who feel and dcploro it orgunize not to press governments for additional expenditures but to prevent governments from making additional ex penditures it is those of us on the firing line those who have to collect the taxes who realize the imperative necessity of economy in government administration wish could say something here that would marshal in favor of economy the powerful forces of public opinion the otker observation that wish to make is this that it will be the happiest day of the lives of my colleagues and myself when it is possible to reduce the sales tax editorial notes lifes obligations toronto elections the spanish war and the east hastings bfe election have been crowded from the headlines of the daily papers the past week or more by the marriage affairs of king edward viii not bince the time when three men were trapped in mine in nova scotia has hourly news been so an xiously sought and as little obtainable undoubtedly many contradictory reports and messages have been published but the general public will be opprecia tive that both theenglish and canadian press re frained from comment as long as would seem to be in the best interests possibly when this item reaches the public the matter will have been settled but not for some time has anything so disturbed the people of the empire as this present situation after the example set by the late king george and queen mary and the belief that the present ruler of great empire would follow in his footsteps the present situation is tlecicleuyjluniiliatin aioyaltyofn reat empire has been divided on this question it is interesting to note hat pleasure in the posi tion of the king in course opposed to his cabinet the church and those who believe in the upholding of all the throne standi for comes from those whose former pluns have been to destroy this thing loyal citizens have been taught and believe in making sacrifice for king and country such teaching is undoubtedly best instilled by example one must have sympathy for feelings of fellow human beings und the desire to live the life one wishes vet how many are permitted to live the life they desire each position carries an obligation to more than one self and the larger thcposition seemingly the larger the obligation great damage in the ties that bind the empire has already been done only the earsto
