anpeared in hockey uniforms as active participant in the sport this winter its on ly a start but there certainly is a word of praise dut the acton athletic association for the fine start made in a year when jt was not even certain that the arena would be available all communities have been lax in dceloping ail ive participation in sport for all ages of the com munity there has often been too much attention paid to the winning team and ncjjcit of the othei groups from which local winning teams must ioiiif we like the spirit of the acton athletic association in having the stronger groups foster and help the oung groups friday night was more than booster night it was ec opener night bports can play an important part in the community and when conduct ed ct oprnitively by all the community under one head the community as whole can benefit by mich work 1 he acton athletic association has made a fine start they dcscrc the encouragement of all in making their act i i ties ear

to do it than under the plan of the triple a that has made such fine start ah othen sf v in the account of the fergus acton hockc gam ip acton last week the news record de fcenbes acton fans as ontario wildest and movt profane hockey crowd that covert a lot of ternt orv and were quite free to point that the title is onl one man s opinion but it s a title fans here should we ashamed 4o have tacked on them not having been in ever hockev rink in the proince we arc not prepared to argue to its truthfulness but we have been in a number of rinks in the province in the past fifteen years and we do know there is too much profanity among the fans in all of them x e like to sec crowds enthusiastic and even semi wild in their support of their team but there is nothing original or smart about prof am t in an sport we alwavs like to think of acton fans being s good spirts off the ice as they expect their team to be on the ice profanity is the most crude form of team support me hope acton fans will continm to wild support their team and make a communis effort to show that thc can do it without rcmrjng to profanit its more important to beat fergi s in this than it is to win on the ice everybody likes clean sport lets do our part in keeping it clean decentralization of industry if tbis war has taught the manufacturers of this continent an thing it is that the decentralization of industr is no lopgermcbatable but urgent an ex ample is what ntbght hae happened to the automot ie tndustrv of this countrv if japan or germany had succeeded in bombing the city of detroit there are many difficulties in the wa of scat tering industry in small plants all over the country but these difficulties must be overcome against the possibility of another war which would bring with it stratospheric bombing of this continent if the unions or the government is permitted to establish a uniform nationwide wage scale it will force many pfljlte small town manufacturers out of business manufacturing costs are made up of material tabor and burden these- vary between the rural and urban areas higbayrrttechanued and equipped urban plants operating on t urge volume basis ven though

areas the relations between employer and employ ee are better because they are more- personal than m the larger plants but this very personal emotion brings other problems then too there are higher freight rates higher power costs and the fact that the rural manufactur er must of necessity tram many of his men in spite of these advantages and disadvantages it is evident to skilled economists and deep thinkers that the time has gone for centralization of great factories in large cities where one successful bomb ing run may wipe out an industry it is also true that when large industry ts
