editorial r i a commission for the waterworks system the revelations at the recent sessions of acton council have shown very conclusively the absolute need for having the waterworks system under a com mission the members of the council have not time to give the detailed supervision necessary the hydro-electric- system is a success it is operated under a commission the waterworks have only been given haphazznrd supervision by the council the results has been very unsatisfactory 1 resuscitation of drowning persons for tlie past ten years drowning accidents in on tario tmvo averagedsligjitly over three hundred per annum for many yearstkk public have had the im pression that resuscitation of persons apparently drowned was mechanical process and that certain mechanical equipment was necessary there is ample evidence that the manual method is superior to any other the hydroelectric power commis sion for instance- discarded all mechanical methods and turned to the method described

of population canada australia and south africa possessing as they do vast areas of unoccupied lands within practical reach of transportation located in the tern porate zone and capable of supporting millions or additional rural homes it cannot be doubted for a moment that these overseas dominions are much underpopulttted and that the overshadowing prob lem facing them is to secure a largely augmented agricultural manpower capable of adding to the pro duction of foodstuffs and to absorb the products of the industrial sections of these countries the pres ent overpopulation menace of great britain and most european countries and the underpopulation problem of the overseas dominions are equally acute the rational distribution of the white popu lation of the world is rapidly becoming the central problem of modern statesmanship the proper care- of fairview cemetery evidence of the very general desire for the adop tion of the perpetual care system in fairview cem etery presents itself in various ways at quite fre quent intervals a private letter to the editor from a friend down in iowa says mother wishes me to fell you mr moore that she is anxious to pay the 10000 she promised you

other pjmfhave found the work to be effectively snd sjjtpnractorily done by a commission or board ol citizens isntit worth while for the council to ti7 this method in view of the success attained in other places actons tax rate for 1926 contrary to the prophecy of a number of citizens and the honest expectation of others the tax rate for 1926 has been kept down by acton municipal council to the same figure- as that of last year 44 mills for all purposes the opinion of those referred to was based upon the fact that a considerable sum was expended out of current revenue for the much- desired new motor fire truck the new bre alarm system the increased expenditure for the mainten ance of the school and other unforeseen expenses but by careful economical administration of the af fairs of the present year the rate has not been in creased to the credit of the council be is pro claimed this happy result has been obtained further by their wise investigation into the operation of the waterworks system and making adjustments which will mean increased revenues from that utility it will by a year from this date add from 1000 to 2000 to the receipts from this source alone finan cial matters are placed on a muchimproved basis there is also the encouraging reduction in insurance rates which effects every citizen in town owning insurable property this latter has been accomplish ed through compliance for certain small improve ments with the canadian underwriters- association and repeated conferences villi that body there is every encouragement now to hope for a reduction of the tax rate for next year this devoutlywishedfor accomplishment will surely be realized if the same careful administration and wise policy derailed by the council this year arc continued and especially if th3 waterworks system is entrusted to a commis sion similar to that of jhe hydro system or united with that utility- to ensure the accomplishment of that result some matters relating tfjexeto muit be considered without delay it is very manifest hat the waterworks system the most cosily utility iq actons possession must be given careful compe tent supervision if satisfactory and readily attain- able revenues are to be derived therefrom record trade balance canada now has the largest favorable trade balance per capita of any country in the world for the last fiscal year canadas favorable

the planting of nearly 1000000 young trees on the waste land of norfolk this year is a feat worthy of high praise it is a testimony to what can be ac complished by cooperation for norfolk farmers have become thoroughly imbued with the idea of increas ing the value present and future of their lands by the planting of potential forest giants and no less than 300 of them participated in the tree planting bee this spring the majority of them took the al lotted quota of 3500 trees which are supplied free of charge by the forestry station while some of the more enthusiastic farmers purchased twice that large number over and above their quota the result is that no inconsiderable area of waste land which could be utilized for no other purpose has been re claimed for the county of norfolk

historian tells us that the marne is one of the worlds decisive battles and the man who did his part hravely and well realhes he has participated in an epochal event to the israelites it was but the escape from gruelling tasks and thankless toll the prison doors had opened nnd they had gotten away to the one however who looked back upon this critical day k was the time whena nation was born until they crossed the pled sea they were a moo of runaway slaves after they had crosssed they were a people trav elling toward the promised land gods deliverances are always like this a man is not only saved from the morula gp of evil habit but he nnds opened before him the prospect of a larger and more useful life if god has tilled your heart with the happy consciousness of conversion bear tn mind
