brand was the worst of the two while it is disappointing to all workers in 7 charge of outdoor functions when bad weather is encountered the fall fair directors can complain little when the view of the whole history of the fair is taken into consideration true the first date se lected for this year was a beautiful day and perhaps wednesdays have a charm that saturdays do not possess one thing was proven by the weather acton fair is better equipped than most fairs to carry on if unfavorable cohditions arc met twelve years ago the arena was built in the park lfhns filled well ailthat was required of it as n skating rink it hasmadc possible a first night- perform ance for the fan- that none unless similarly equip ped can hope to meet with on saturday it proved that in spite of the torrents of rain outside folks could attend acton fair and see a good deal of the program and enjoy nn afternoon sheltered iroiff- the weather it proved to the directors toqi that n variety program was required tomcct sucht un emergency yes this years weather for the fair wasnt fair but it brought into play somefeatures that can be used to better advantage if such an experience is met with again its nice to have them but we hope it wont be necessary to use them again for a few years v if t truth came out j here is a surprising confession made by dr blair mp for north wellington speaking in the j house of commons the doctor said i am a cor- j oner and 1 have had to deal with a good many acci dents on the road often when a man is killed in the county of wellington and i am called in as cor- oner 1 have had to do some desperate lying my hon friend does not have to do that because he is i lawyer i have sent home word to many a father that a boy had died from heart failure when i knew it was booze it was the next thing toa sworn de- claration and 1 made a notorious liar of myself i am not giving a temperance lecture hut i do sug- gest that there should he consultation with the pro vincial governments because they arc charged with the responsibility of regulating the traffic- v wars duration there arc ajnultitudc of things that hide behind the war and ar sidetracked to its conclusion for a settlement perhaps one that is closest home is the county equalization a few months ago we reprint ed a little item from the burlington gazette which read in part last year the county assessment fol lowing an appeal by nassagawya was heard by his honor judge munro and it was gcnerall agreed that it would he based on his recommendations for the duration of the war despite this navsagawca and esqucsing both threatened to appeal against the bylaw passed by the councilat its last meeting claiming their assessment was toohigh no appeal however was entered and as the time for making an appeal has noclapsid the assessment will stand the saitic as last year je c told that the article didnt prcscntthe picture clearly sb e set about to find out what had occurred and referred to judge munros report on equalization as found in the county minutes of lm mc fail to find in thereport that there was general agreement that the present basis of figures had anything to do wilh the duration of the war we do rind however that judge munro suggested or recommended that county council be furnished each year by each municipality with a statement showing a list of all new buildings erected and old buildings ttorn dowti replaced or destroyed that in the light of the information gained from such statements proper compensatory adjustments should be made in any year in which any substantial change is indicated by such statements we wnnrfnr o council had these state- rnents presented and found no substantial change e wonder if nassagaweya and esquesiitg and some other municipalities were not justified in more than threatening an appeal when the judges report was only compjied with in part we wonder what the warhasto do with deferment of fair assessment and taxation in halton county we wonder if after the war the lighting will cease to be necessary for equitable distribution of moneys payable v just opinions the financial post from week to week conducts an interesting feature when it solicits and publishes opinions from across canada on topics of general in terest a couple of weeks ago the opinions were soaght on the question of whether canada should prohibit the publishing of war casualty lists as is done in the united states among the group the editor of trtk frek press gave his opinion we do not favor suppressing this news as we believe can adians arc as fully capable of sustaining morale in spite of losses as are the people of england it is our belief too that the general public should be made fully aifare of the toll of war and its sacrifice so impressed upon public mind that every effort of the future will be to avoid it not just at the time of crisis but continually this weeks opinions in thepost were should the liberals and conservatives merge and we en joyed reading the variety of thought contributed by others on this question public opinion docs have bearing on all subjects in our democracies whether expressed by word or at the polls but it is surpris ing how few give considered judgment on many of these subjects and will express an opinion the same thing holds true when people are asked to rcg ister their opinion at the polls a lot of it is regis tered without much thought it is doubtful if there will be a merger between the liberals and conservatives but it doesnt re quire any powers of clairvoyancy to realize that un- lessthere is more tangible evidence of wider social security measures and a more equitable distribution of the bounties of the land that the party that leads will be otherwise named than liberal or con servatives and that the stability and experience of both old parties may be forcibly joined to avoid a headjong precipitation of this and other countries into the pitfalls that are always along the new road and in ihe untried plans mergers arc usually brought about not by desire hut by necessity v hnppy and sorry in another column we outline a new policy that has necessarily been adopted by tin fun pkkss re garding copies mailed each week to the armed forces we regret that this step is necessary but trust that all will realize the size of the task that is now con fronting
