issue of thl fin i prlss that front page illustration of santa claus somehow had an appeal and brought recollections of our own boyhood days we recall that the most popular advertisement in tur fuel plrss was one published by g d pnngle of guelph and its popularity was based on the picture it had of santa claus on the roof top about to descend a chimney advertisements weren t so freely illustrated in tho days but we vc alwnys intended to hnd that old cut some doy and preserve it then too windows with toys were not as plentiful in those days ns they are now it was a real event when the window of george hynds was dressed with the christmas stock from four o clock until the stock diminished usually the night before christ mas it was difficult to get standing room in front of that window frosting over simply ruined that day latex wm stark put in a stock of mechanical toys in the section of c c speight s shop which he shared one could get quite reminiscent on those boyhood recollections perhaps it is well to recall them and realize that christmas to day lnthe lives of the boys and girls does mean the same big event that it meant in your boyhood or girlhood days in exactly the opposite thought in which it was writ ten wc said that canndyms not fully conscious of the seriousness of the war and went on to explain how everyone could help even children the letter writer used the comment to tell at some length of tlie laxity of the government in making canadians war conscious arc wc as a people so helpless that wc require governments to bestir in us our sense of self preservation wc make no apologies for the short comings of any government thot is their own particular task but wc do feel that if wc as canadians have become so soft as to lay this accusation on the doorsteps of our governments that democracy has had a serious failure the wor effort is a sharing of a common task by all canadians if it is to be a buck passing game it will fail some can help a great deal others can only contribute m a small way but lets all meet the situation ready to do the bit that wc can tjhosc in direction at this time arc slipping out under the strain of icndcrship chamberlain lord lothian and hon norman rogers arc among those that come to mind at the moment who went down under the war load leaders arc hard to replace we the common people can make tlwir tak lighter by assuming our share it mriy seem small but it rs important again we say democracy is on trial on the home ffoiit as wehns the battle front the week at ottawa 8tmmllly written for tbtf arttm pim fru by joiin dauwiinfit canupwn pr staff writer the ambition town in some towns people seem satisfied to let every thing drift along just as it was they hide behind excuses to keep themsdves from doing work fur improvement if a man has a disorderly hack yard he ijays it is as good as the one owned by some neighbor or if his fences are all tumbling down he says they have always been that way and he has got along all right a town like that will not merely stand still but it will gradually fall behind the nmbitious town is not satisfied to let things drift its people travel around they see fine looking towns with handsome streets nice homes and progressive looking business centres they come home discontented with unsatis factory conditions and they take off their coats and go to work to improve those conditions editorial notes less than a week just five dujs md only four of them shopping days and then christmas don t put off for another day your christinas shopping or your christmas

benefit to the householder the tenant and property owner alike it will be paid for from the general rate of taxation wc have met arguments that this is unfair and that the cost should be assessed on the householder who deserves the benefit b 1 he arjjunumit has some merit when it becomes a re ul 1 1 if tacs in e increased b council us a result ot this or an othei inuuicial service the landloid is quite justified in passing this additional wost on io the tenant for the extra semtt received but nutil that cost is added we can see no justification for making the tenant pu a charge which has not vet been made no property owner will be called on to pay more money for an municipal service until next april until the estimates art made no one not even council know- that theie uill be an increase in the amount of taxes collected on property lets look at the cost that should be levied in any instance if the complete item is paid for by the householder main of the small rented houses in acton are not assessed for over 1 0h on those houses garbage collection will cost exitctty h il per month but a rental increase of 10e per month would be easy reckoned houses that are assessed for 2tm0 will bring an added burden to the property owner of lc per month the tenant we presume would not obieet to a rental increase or 2 per month for this added service these are the figures any increases bf rent made on ihe excuse at the present time of the added cost of garbage collection are onlv excuses any in creases beyond the nctunlcost are chargeahje to sonic other cause possibly the need for greater return on the investment in the property but lets fact the facts misquoted we noted the other day one of ourtiitorjar items made the subject of a rattier lengthy letter to the globe and majl
