ead prederlok btreat nambv storms editorial notes b wasting time on the telephone editor a w marsh of tho amheratburg echo remarks that there is a lot eft time wasted in unneces sary trivolous conversation over the telephone for instance how many of us when we calf our friends do not often start off with how are you today can you gufcss whos speaking no it isnt try again etc often people who ordinarily consider themselves pretty industrious indulge in much talk l that they would never dream of uttering when in conversation face to face the great trouble is that v f0t are such people wasting their own time but frequently the time of other people who want to get r jjipii3e of the line for business or other importance yt uts applies to you and it likely does ft nearly all rprho read this make a calculation of how much j better your time and that of the party at the other yod of the line could be employed when you suffer from lame back after weeding the garden these days take the consolation of know ing that you have been enjoying some of the exer cise in tho open air the doctors tell us we need so much of it was good to see the orangemen in acton again last saturday but one thing many of the older on of us missed was mr john kennoy sr with his wellworn tile which used to grace every twelfth procession in this vicinity feij i what makes a town what makes a town is it the wealth evidenced a f v 6y the homes and splendid store buildings these y i my attest to the stability and thrift of certain jfieople but they offer no great inducements to com- vradreial and moral progress is it the spirit of good eatrder and law observance that is a factor only tbe sleepiest old hamlets that dot the country may have this spirit in rank abundance is it the schools and churches may their number ever increase but they dont make a town they only culture it- is it he t geographical location the character of the country surrounding tho natural advantages no0e i of these are essential well what is it that makes a town anyway just one thing tho unity of the people the existence of a common bond which causes business and social enemies to put aside all differ- rence when it comes to boosting the town no town ever made real progress in the way of substantial success without the gettogether spirit unanimously ttppted it has infused new blood into the heart of cofflnjercjal life and made thriving cities out of dor- amant towns natural advantages count for much and prosperity cannot be built upon shifting sand but thy town with half a chance can be made to grow jind expand and thrive when its citizens join with 004 accord in the boosting programme what with balloon tires streamline bodies and aeroplane motors the modern automobile begins to resemble in nomenclature at least the flying machine our grandfathers used to talk about but never dreamed of seeing another week or so and tho apple sauce season will be here nothing tastier than fresh apple sauce at that particularly if mother isnt stingy with the sugar bowl and with applo sauce comes apple pies and apple bumplings and for many a small boy chollywobbles oh the joys of yodth truly woman suffrage seems to be on us with a vengeance the adamson bill which has been given a good deal of consideration recently in the british house fixes the voting age for women at twentyone yars which authorities note will place the women in england in considerable rnajdrity over the men in general elections as yet no one can foresee the outcome but it suggests interesting possibilities a letter from the editor from brussels tells of running across onemocning in one of the streets of the belgian capital a young man now a university professor in montreal who twentyrye years ago spent several years in acton but who presumably has not been in town since in all probability the editor wilt have similar experiences several times be fore ho gets away from england the world is e small place after all m obligations to tbe community wfthin recent years the attitude of some of the fcigreat corporations of the country toward the public sihm changed- the men in charge who in con- yfrct with the people used to give the impression that thoy did not care what any one thought of the way their business was done in effect they said the money js ours the property is ours and we can do wbat we wish with it rt is needless to remind ourselves that this is a mistaken view not only for managers ot corporations but for men who have orijythoir wages and families to manage every man jvapd every corporation which is but un aggregation jsm men have obligations to the community tho man must respect tho rights of his neighbors if h does not he is punished insome way many of tho t corporations have acted as if those with whom they dealt bad no rights which they were bound t re- pect events are making it clcur to them that they wo part of the complex social organization and amenable to the laws th demand fair play this wholesome change it is needless to speculate how much of it is due to tho decisions of the courts that an officer of a corporation may not refuse to dis- clcso corporations methods on the witnessstand and i nwc m ol public respon t mlity it is also useless to wonder whether the old insolence of corporations ww merely the insolence fr subordinates clothed
