anniversary of the founding of that successful business looking back over tho years and its only a small portion of the hundred that we have lived in acton we cannot begin to sum up what this business has meant to this community and the building and growth or acton through many of tho years it can truly be said that as tho tannery expanded so was actons growth measured glancing back again at community progress over the years wo find this firm and its principles invariab ly leading for civic improvements when a wutcr works system was required twentyfive years ago we recall it was started on its wuy during the council term of col a o t beardmore now president of the company when an arena was needed we recall the help given to bring the project along on a sound foot ing these are but two incidents and many mors could be named in fact it would be hard to find in any of tho community improvements whore they have not joinedwholohcartedly with the community we do not prcsumcmo speak for every citizen in acton but we do know that on this occasion of the hundredth anniversary col beardmore and mr s g bennett and all the officials andxemployces of the beardmore co have hearty congratulations from all and the wish for continued success in the years that follow v maybe youre hlgbl brother maybe in a recent editorial the winnipeg tribune praisd tho contribution of the weekly newspapers to munity life end to canada the tribune described the country editor as tho recorder counsellor guidc and friend of his community he is the pivot around which his community turns the tribune printed the association slogan f this years meeting if we dont stand for some thing woll fall for anything it commented that the weekly press stands for freedom decency com munity service a deep loyalty to canada and a belief in the future the tribune said those who uro busy working on weekly papers are by and large people who work at their beliefs tho kind of people you like to have for neighbors veil its a nice thing to aim at anyway brother v provincial ircmlers disagree premier stuurt s garson speaking ut the con vention in winnipeg of- the canadian weeekly news papers association pulled no punches in his attack on premier george drew for his claim regarding the incidence of buby allowance costs he criticized premier drews figures purportinr to allow that ontario would provide 50 ofothe cost of thefederal buby bonus plan while receiving much less in benefits premier drew he declared did not note the fact that according to the method by which he reach ed the conclusion ontario pays 50 of family allow ances quebec pays 33 according to the financial post estimate quebec will receive back 32 in family allowances so clearly by mr drews own statis tical method quebec will pay a little more than it will receive it is hard to argue that a province which pays more than it receives will be getting pre ferred treatment premier garson developed his argument to show that it was the prairie provinces and the maritimes rather than quebec which would on the basis of premier drews figures receive more than they contributed he challenged the ontario leaders figures as being inaccurate and unreliable for the purposes for which he has naed them and sought to show tha included in ontariovcsxtsijcontribntion to the national revenue was a sizeable proportion of cus toms excise and sales taxes which in practice were passed along to prairie and maritimes purchases of ontario products and payment of which should therefore rightly be credited to the people of those areas this accounting mr garson said would con siderably reduce ontarios claim to the source of half the national revenue it is not correct he declared that the people of ontario payas much as so of the national rev enue or that the prairie provinces pay as little as 7 per cent v pause for aattuaan at this time of year when the heat of the fading summer lessens with the first cool touch of fall nature really rewards those who pauso now and then to contemplate the natural glories of the earth and sky foritisar this season that she intrudes molt insistently into the humdrum routine of human ex istence as she pours her abundance into loaded wine tree and harvest held many a city dweller cooped up in streets of stone and in an even mor rigid circle of work and thoughts of work fails to share with keats the english poets delight in tho season of mists and mellow fruitful- ness for the eye is blind when the mind does not freo and only too many people are too absorbed in their daytoday cares to observe and appreciate autumns splendors yet most of them will travel miles of views and acclaim manmade wonders in ex positions and fairs curiously enough a goad many rural folks also suffer in this way familiarity with nature may well blunt their sensitivity to her more obvious forms but with chores to be dono and tho crops to bo cut few can give more than a passing glance to the glories of tho fields of wellripened grain remark on the beauty of tho coloring fruits or stop to ga2c at the play of sunset colors on the lake of course any farmer will pause to admire abun dant crops and reckon their market value but we are referring strictly to the delight they give the mind by the beauty they present to tho eye this strange disregard of many people for the enchantments of autumn is all the more to be re gretted because human beings have only so or so autumns to enjoy counting from the time they be come mature enough to take note of them once it is missed never aguin can that same prospect present itself with exactly tho same effect v freedom not foully regained the mud nuzi commander of st mulo who held out for weeks after being hopelessly surrounded by american forces is used by dorothy thompson as un upt warning to these people who might become cureless of their freedom utterly regardless bf the lives and wishes of his little garrison bf cooks and batmen or of the fact that his defiance could not affect the course of tho war in tho slightest degree this german officer decided that his men should he sacrificed says columnist thompson once a people surrenders its liberties for whatever reason it never again can recapture them only commander aulock can give his troops liberty from certain death commander aulock they say is mad but madness has be come a matter of viewpoint if the nazis think it is not madness to wreck germany and des troy the german people before theygo down before our arms thoy can do so for never once since they relinquished their liberties to hitler huve the german people been able to control an iotu of their fate there is indeed as miss thompson points out u lesson here for all free people u lesson which every canadian should bear in mind before being tempted to vote tor any revolutionary party no doubt a lot of people shrugged their shoulders when hitler and his crazy party came to power a dozen years ago oh well it wont hurt to try them they said but once secure in the saddle the nazis soon mude sure with the aid of the headsmans axe the rope and tho firiug squad that the switch was per manent there was no turning
