the acton free press miitmiist jimc i ftifectanrttttbb i nrtaal buck wiffcoat over the line fence again evidence is not lacking that the restrictions on trade and travel with our good neighbor the united states are soon to be cased it is gratirying to know also that while they have been bothersome their maintenance means that we enter the present period and the post war period in an improved condition that would not have been possible without them like an individual who has had a serious operation or prolonged treatment for ill health when the enjoyment of better health comes again the discom fiture of the treatment is soon forgotten in the joy of well being recently we talked to officials at the rainbow bridge they werent rushed at any time in the two days we were there and found that almost any definite form of identification such as a birth certi ficate would permit entry to the united states of canadians not just as simple is in prewar days but certainly a lot easier than the last three years changes already announced by mr ilsley for relaxing fecb regulations on pleasure travel to the united states may involve bctwaen 20 and 25 millions a year before wartime curtailment of travel this tourist business accounted tat three times this amount the new rules permit banks to sell up to 150 u s funds for a person making one trip in year or 75 u s funds for a person each six months transportation costs are net included in the allowance since these can bo obtained in advance in canadian funds it is hinted that mr ilsley will discuss in his bud get speech the removal of the present ten per cent war exchange tax now operative between the two countries it is just possible too that canadians will find when travel is mado easier to the united states how fortunate canadians were that they were put on here in time and enforced buying in the united states wont be advantageous even if money values are on the same level v when silence isnt golden when a reduction or change is mndc in the dis tribution of liquor it is to say the least noticeable the concern of the liquor control board to assure imblbors that it wasnt their fault and to be parti cular to blame the dominion regulations this month we had a cut in the butter ration too and very little explanation about it either we dont care about how many ounces of spirits are permitted per month but we are concerned about butter be cause we have over the years formed an appetite for butter and the same goes for evey member of tho family while only a small percentage of people will use over 26 ounces of spirits evciv month a lot or people will miss that half pound of butter white spirits havent any food value the butter has and its very necessary to maintenance of good health in wartime butter doesnt act like spirits in making those who use it unfit to carry on their regular work oi leave them prostrated in the gutter if they take a little too much butter unlike spirits helps the war effort and does not hinder it the fact is that too many of us buttereaters take our rationing without a fuss and dont holler like the whiskeyguzzlers the silence is just taken for granted but since buttereaters are in the majority there should be more consideration given and we should be informed that since the dominion govern ment controls the export and import of butter and the grass is liable to be shorter in july than it is how that we will have to have less butter we never thought much of the group who a few years ago catheout with the slogan no beer no bonds but the group who staged demonstration regarding butter shortage had some merit there is nothing quite ao lasurr oa the h we awt want to as to the trials of ration ma aad the saainteoaace of price ceilings and we rralin fan

responsibility without oat tail the war has intensified the problem of juvenile delinquency the public ia becom increasingly aware of the extent and alarming implications of lawhreaking among adolescents across the dominion publicity is bringing the problem into the light and while it aaay e fnrt its relative import ance to some degree at the same time the awakening of public consc will serve to demand intelli gent and adequate action to combat the evils under- mining the lives of a section of the future citizens of canada the problem has its economic aspects greed for easily earned money and unwise spending ia a period of wartime employment have been added to over crowded living conditions some of the responsibil ity lies in inadequate and indifferent parental super vision of children the efforts of social and public health agencies and of service organizations to alleviate the problem arc making important contributions to its ultimate solution the more people who take part in work of this kind the more general will be the understanding of the matter the sum of their experience will reveal both the advantages and pitfalls of methods now being employed in attempted solutions ultimately the most effective weapon against juvenile dcliqucncy is education of both the juvenile and the adult the development of self reliance pride in work and rcspct for law in the individual ir necessary for the development of responsible citi zenry canadian educationists and social workers arc striving unceasingly toward this end and arc pre pared to show others how to helpelfectivcly w to be aware of the problem is not enough the cooperative and sympathetic effort of every citizen is required to support and supplement the valuable work now being done v reconsidered

tho hours of work and vacations with pay act the act was rushed through in the dying hours of the legislature to be come effective on july 1st tho general public had little opportunity to study it and become aware of its scope then the phraseology of certain clauses left many doubts as to its meaning attention was called to these in this column last week there is no argument against the rule of the eighthour day under normal circumstances or for that matter of vacations with pay although it must be borne in mind that somebody will pay for time that isnt productive but with present labor short ages in every line of business and industry it will come as a general relief to read the announcement thatlthe board therefore authorizes the continu ance of existing iiours in all industries operating on priority war materials in tho province of ontario tho industry and labour board under which body the act will be administered says that while plans arc now being laid for the operation of the act it would be unsound at this time to impose arbitrary changes the need for allout production on essential war materials might be seriously inter fered with if drastic changes in present hour sched ules which might be made necessary in conforming to tho terms of this act were made this is par ticularly true in view of tho manpower shortage existing at the present time the boatd therefore consider that a postponement of the provisions of the act regulating work hours is necessary and will be necessary while the present critical require ments and acute shortage of manpovvbr exists periods of velaxation both mental and physical to provide recreation are essential for general health and morale however mr daley said it is probably ot more value in this time of mental stress and physi cal pressure than at uny other time the provisions of the act therefore applying to at icat one wecko vacation with pay shall apply to all persons qualify ing under the term of employment this does not necessarily mean that vacation must begin on july 1st but that vacations with pay shall bn provided for all employees effective july 1st 1044 under the in dividual employers plan of allotting vacation time mr daley said i other details will be found in an announcement in this issue it is commendable thatl action was taken before a serious disturbance wasj made in the war effort in ontario it is well too that further study be given the new act tn its application in ontario with relation to the rest of the dominion v editorial notes the day and days for which years ol preparation have been made came on tuesday the prayers of all these days will be for those engaged in the dead ly struggle and like rome that soon others will be liberated boy scouts of the ttorooto dbtxfct
