lurlhday at no time in history hvc canadians more cause to have pride in their dominion than on saturday the occasion of its mventysevcnih birthday with the rest of the world we are in a life and death struggle or r 0 en ne freedoms we have maintained through the years canada in these tre mendous days is playing well its part from a prewar strength of 10200 in the three armed forces canada has now 704510 men and women in uniform the air training plan has 12000 planes and much credit is due this branch for the present mastery that the allies have in the skies over europe our navy has expanded from a few ships to a striking force that has played well its part in keeping the sea lanes open for war production roll ing from this dominion to the fighting front canadians an the home front in our factories and in our a controls and participation in war financing are playing a part that will make in the years to come this dominion one of the world lead ers yes on this birthday on saturday canadians may well feel proud of their dominion and the lead ership of those in hign places in these trying times history will record an accomplishment trat is worthy and has been bettered by none v wanfa wellington untrained too editor hugh tcmplin made the following edi torial comment in the fergus newskecord last week on the announcement that halton had elected a woman to the county council he heads the ite i a restraining influence we dont know how mrs pettit came to get elected to such a position evidently there was vacancy in midyear and it may be that the electors of nelson are more enlightened than most in the hole of wellington county we cannot recall that there is or ever was a woman on any municipal council they have found their way on to school boards in towns and in rural sections but apparent ly not on councils and certainly not on the welling ton county council yet we think a woman or two on that lastnamed body would have more than a steady ing influence in fact it seems to be just what the doctor ordered wholl elect the first one it does seem that the fergus editor would like to aee a steadying influence particularly on wel lington county council he is not prepared to sug gest what municipality will elect a woman to the r office of reeve or deputyreeve why not fergus pi-i- hatseu ao maybe he has retired or 4ieal jast when we tfmaght mr danglai and mr aber- fcart would go down la history as ike most famous western waadcrwerkers it was quite a jolt to have the career of hatfield brought up yes we recall harjwd the rainmaker too but we couldnt tell you who wasprcaaier of alberta when he operated such is faase stetyame yeara with this issue of the face patss sislyaine years jfreotjiujrtlie events tof lictoo aad distract are con cluded for this journal and we enter neat week the seventieth year of publication it was en dominion day 1075 that acton had the first edition of its own newspaper during those tastynine years there have been bve editors j h hacking the rounder from 1875 to 1877 s- w galbraith for 1877 and 1878 and rev t albert moore for 187870 after those first ad- ventureous years in a new field the editors atuck longer the late h p moore was editor from 1870 until 1027 since ia27 the present editor g arlof dills has been in charge it was in i0o9 that he started his apprenticeship in the printing trade and for thirtyone years of the thirtyfive years since has been associated with the fttfci pkess there are some things that may be unique about these sixtynine years of the fatui patss it is the only paper ever published in acton the tiles are complete from the 6rst issue volume i no i in the sixtynine years of publication not an issue has been missed and in thirtyfive years at least nut a mail has been missed on publication day we men lion these items with real thankfulness because many times this regularity of schedule has meant lung hours and a heavy strain on a loyal staff and a splendid measure of good health during the pasffear an additional load has been assumed in the publication of the canadian cham pion of milton how the dualeditorship will work out only the future will record we might reminisce at some length but will leave that until our hair is greyer as we enter another year of publishing the home paper in acton we just want to say thank you to all who down through these years have helped maintain by their loyalty and as sistance a paper and printing establishment that we have been told compares very favorably with any in communities of this size or larger it will be our aim while guiding the destiny of the fun puiss to maintain it on the same high standard set by our predecessors v being first has advantages v jrjt weston woaderworken there was particular interest last week in going over our exchanges and reading the editorial com ment on the c c f landslide in saskatchewan it seemed to be general feeling that both old parties needfo change their ways and that there was little comfort in the results for the liberals and nothing for the progressiveconservatives then we picked up the bracebridge gazette and turned to that column conducted by editor redmond thomas and read the following the most famous western wonderworker was rsinrilaker hatfield he operated chiefly in alberta where there is in many parts much less rainfall than in saskatche wan farmers of a neighborhood which needed rain would engage mr hatfields services his terms were no rain no pay so the farmers whoengaged him felt they could not possibly lose if rain fell the farmers were content to pay and were not inter ested in skeptics scientificjliscussions as to whether the rainfall was caused by or merely happened to coincide with mr hatfiields science or magic mr hatfield used a very complicated electricpowered machine it is a long time since i have heard of editorial notes j -v- with kood newt coninik from three fronts of the wur dominion liiy tin your will he the best that canadians huve observed since 10311 v a writer in the financial post last week made the comment with canadas first ucidlist govern ment now in power for a week many observers in his province arc

know what mr drews ideal of real temp erance is just consider his beverage rooms for a starter is the comment of the barric examiner gertpany is preparing to put two divisions of women soldiers in the field and it is reported they are concluding their military training now soldiers hate to shoot women but will be compelled to when they are faced by the new german divisions and probably after the
