evidence of good growth ana promise of a splendid yield of the land the country roads had just a little traffic one could go any place at will there was peace and freedom on every side sunday was a day in june in france and belgium and norway too but what a difference in the sur roundings here the countryside was overrun with invading armies of hitler and defended by the allies even the cemeteries were torn up by bombs from airplanes here the qujet countryside was broken and strewn with the wreckage of war machinery and dotted with the bodies of invaders and defenders what a difference the selfish desire and the will to attain that desire regardless of the suffering of others can make europe could be enjoying a sum mer day in june too if it were not for the mad ambition of a hitler backed by his mob following of germans with similar ambition to dominate all free people and trample them underfoot days of peace will come again to europe when these german people have learned to respect the rights ot others but until that lesson is learned june days will not be beautiful in that wartorn country was it a guess it is rather difficult to understand on what basis halton county council arrived at figures submitted for equalization purposes at the last meeting per haps there wasnt any basis the figures give that impression anyway letts make a few comparisons just to see it is proposed to increase actons equalized assess ment by 142757 in 1034 when actons equalized assessment was at the present figure the figures used for local purposes were 828878 in 1138 these figure had dropped to 702250 a decrease of 46628 the 1040 figure is 3701 lower yet it is proposed to increase thc equalized assessment now let us look at milton it is proposed to decrease milton
