mamtim the acton free press tinnuumy nwimwi ata4 itst realises fees sjvaeeet a oaea advwnsdw fatgo assllemlee east ee ateas at earleoa eetasaa an umfttsanmri utt perhaps you vill recall that laat year we had anartide en this page outlining what we believed many prominent eltiiens and inatltutlona would re quest if they wrote letters to santa ctaua it la rather interesting to note a year after how many of these jiftsseame not at christmas but throughout the year for tnitance reeve mccutcheon we presum- ed would be pleased with a big surplus in ims and an industry for the shoe factory the surplus is still due but the reeve got part of his wish in a bne new industry in the shoe factory building for councillor mason more cooperation was asked and the council certainly were a very cooperative group this year for councillor jones it was suggested more money tointprove every street just look at mill street now the bush league got more lights for their games too but then there is another side tohe question where santa claus never paid sny attention to the letters apparently there are not two new rooms to the high school for the school board the in termediate hockey club didnt win a championship nor the juniors either the fire brigade hasnt a new truck nor the churches capacity congregations the curling club didnt get s membership of 40 nor the editor a paidup subscription list and what is more dad got socks and a necktie when it was expressly stated he didnt want either its quite apparent that santa claus left over some things to hand out around acton during iho merry cfcriauaa kryeut there are many things that the christmas season brings around in addition to assuring chil dren that there really and truly rs a santa claus for instance the innior of the family the other day noted that h liked christmas better than birthdavs because on birthdavs ou ust give to one person while at christmas everone gies and receives pre- tents that a subect that observation opened up die shincrosireness f christmas v if we wore clerical garb rather than wielded a pea we surmise it would be good for a halfhour discourse being onl a penwiemer it means it will have to be condensed to form a brief editorial com- asenl bat we do like that all inclusive thought about christmas perhaps we have disagreed on points dnnng the rear but at christinas one can sa jaerrr

hocer that in more recent vears a laxm of enforcement of building restrictions has allowed construction of hazards equal to that constructed seventy years ago acton has been fortunate in the matter ot serious confla grations but fate should not be tempted an im- properlv constructed garage can be the means of spreading a fire ust as casilv as larger buildings mistakes of the past cannot alas be rectified but the examples impress the fact that it is costl to alio these conditions to continue unchecked students who are too poor to go to university he believed the time was not far distant when finances of the province might permit the creation and opera lion of some scholarship scheme to take care of such deserving students such provision for helping poor students who have marked ability and ambition which would mean much for the province which has need for all the best brains that can be developed then again at elmira the minister said we want a graduation certificate for the girls

of their featurea but on the other hand i am sure that in tholr own community iliey can perfnrm a worthwhile service by making a study of the conditions and of the ways and means in which their

ba of real value thla may seem to encroach on papers whloh tare exclusively farm weeklies but i hardly ttimlo an because these farm weeklies have to cover a wide rsnasjif subjects whereas uie local

to understand from newspaper reports that quarrels are all about us perhaps it would help too in the spirit of the christmas season if news commentators and writers would be more studious of the finer
