it as a fact we prefer to securot4ie evidence of the man who is without a job and has a wife and children on the cdtfu of starvation aylmer express helping over tho roukii ground the formation of a general committee to bundle the relief situation seemed to- meet with general ap proval judging from the expression at the meeting the other evening that tim ifriiu press should have been of any assistance in the matter of community betterment is a pleasure to those in charge of this journal it has always been our desire to be of ser vice to acton the committee has been duly appoint ed and it was noticeable that the trend of the meeting wnsi that it be known as n relief committee and in no way confused with charity it is a committee ofc we understand it to meet n situation in which men who are willing to work but call find nothing to do are to be assisted over the period v h was quite plainly pointed out that individuals seeking aid with out being willing to labor in return would be given little consideration in like manner it wns pointed out that anything given out was not looked upon as clmrity but as we said previously rather termed assistance from those in more forrtmate circum stances nt the moment it was a case of one brother helping another brother over a rough spot that the committee receive the whblehcartcd support of the community in its efforts is essential to its proper functioning a useful life closed the death of thomas a edison bus clqsqd on earthly career of a man whose works will live for generations after him in- the matter of inventions and methods of bringing to the world great improve ments no mans career has been greater- that ho should have been spared to the world for such a long period of useful life is a blessing which all of us must appreciate whenever we turn in every wnlk of life and are confronted mith the conveniences that have been made possible by this genius the world lun been the better of his great work and he loaves be

press comments from these places disappointment seems to be the lot of each inuiiicirntlity when the amount is llnullyi sanctioned whether the munici pahties ask for moie than they require or not cu hardly be detei mined but in most cases the rub seems to be that tjicy secure siinctfjpn on about half of the estimate of their piogiannue undoubtedly the governments must use some ctirtailniennt of expenditure or the funds at their disposal would soon be exhausted up to date acton has made no lequest for a programme of relief work but there are several small piojects which might be undertaken without being considered luxurious and would be in keeping with looking after the number of unemployed men we have in our community home knowledge there was quite it significance in the resolution of the teachers institute the other week in its request for information on the geography etc7i7 of i la ton county and it struck the right chord when this lack was called to the attention of the county coun cil too often the smaller communities are not pro gressive enough in the matter of giving publicity to their own mu niciapii tics the scholars are given easy access to information concerning the larger centres and often can find out little about the county immediately aroundf them it is small wonder then that the young necjple have ambitions that tend city ward not onlylbe geography of llalton county but the industries its agricultural status and all other items concerning the county and jts makeup should be made available to the teachers and scholars the home county and home town

some times go overlooked theyve put cnpone through the courts in chicago and now thbgangster is preparing for bis winter holiday in the south rather a perverted idea of justice prevails in some places the gold standard to the average man that signifies very little wo consider ourselves just average we have heard it explained and understand the principle clearly the more wo think about it it gets as clear as mud in sorting out some relics about the house the other day wo came across an american 250 gold piece that had been a christmas gift about twenty years ago why we bad never spent it is a conundrum but that has nothing to do with the question what actually occurred to our mind was the fact that for twenty years that piece of gold had been put away and done no one any good t the thought wns driven home when the visiting ministerin one of the local churches preached on the subject from tlie parable of the talents and drove home the plight of the fellow who had made no use of the one talent not even securing interest it all led up to the subject of the heading for twenty years gold had laid of no use in our possession and for as long as we can remember we have been struggling to get other forms of currency to keep things moving t is said there are immense stores of gold in the banking institutions and vaults as secur ity with governments lying there day in and day out of no use only to be accounted for in the ledgers of the institution the united states has huge stores ot the metal the prospectors are unearthing every day now find in the wild and unexplored lands of the north what is the purpose to wrench the metal from the store house of nature and put in the manmade structure some would try to believe that the depression is a thing of mental creation that can bo swallowed by everyone except the individual who actually feels the pinch real hard it would be much easier to believe that the gold standard is mythical gold silver or paper unless piu to use and doing some good arc they not like tho talent that was buried when are some of the unemployed from the smaller communities going to be called upon for participation in the government road schemes is a question citizens of many- municipalities are asking its queer that the mail and empire and the telegram can always tell what the liberal party is in need of and the globe and star can readily prescribe for the ills of conservatives its queer but its a fact with the amount of ballyhoo that has turned thi radio from a musical instrument into a vending machine one wonders if the nationalization of the radio could make the broadcasts much worse tha at present the remarkable yield of 73 bushels per acre hns been harvested by james ilalett an exsoldier farm er near red deer
