however ee need of ttronger meaiure being taken in regard to tuch itemt at primary education unemployment relief low renlal houiing care of the aged etc and having these transferred to another agency on the other hand correspondents believe that in the case of many social wrvce tolulion does not lie in the transfer of responsibility but in a change in the methods of financing federal nd provincial properties in a municipality some antwan advise should pay the same rate of taxation as the public such gathering of opinion may be interesting and varied but there is always uniformity in one respect and that is that the financing should be shifted to other shoulders the demand for more public services has been the means of putting taxation at every turn in municipal provincial and federal fields each tries to avoid payments just as the individual but each demands an in creased service the result is excessive adminis ttation costs in both collecting and distributing and a consequent deduction from funds payable municipal taxes hit most everyone pretty dirrctly terhaps that is the reason why they create more attention than hidden taxes most folks do not stop to think that the cjasoline tax is over a quarter of the cost of the product that on a packet of 35 cent cigarettes the tax collected is over 20 cents and so on down the line the town puts in sewers and there s a tax collected in many ways that adds thousands tc the cost the chain of taxation is endless but certainly it gets heavier and shifting of the load r only a temporary solution b time for indulgence many have forgotten the startling truth of these words good christian men repice because now there is hope god has come among men all the power of thj creator of the world is available if men will turn lo him to solve their own and their nations prob lems with this burning in their hearts men changed the ancient pagan world step by step through centuries punctuated by the blood of martyrs men worked that the plan of god might prevail they lived and died for freedom of conscience freedom of speech for the abolition of slavery and the sanctity of the home then there came a halt people surfeited with prosperity and privilege took god for grant ed they thought they could run their own lives and their countrys business by human wisdom today the great heritage of christian civilization is in jeopardy a good tlrwe to uv writing in the fergus news record last week cditor hugh templin gets in a reminiscent mood as he notes the thirty first anniversary of hit feature and widely read inside page thirty one years does not seem long to look back but il is true that there have been many changes in all thfse communities in that period there was no travel by motor car in the winters of 1918 and no bus routes many of the highways were not through and trips to toronto were over the concrision lines there was no radio in the i omci and the circle of travel and news was more community tound the past thirty years have seen greater ad vancement in ontario communities than the pre vious century it s boon a great time in which to live and there is every indication that the years ahead will see even greater expansion in this section of ontario for those who witness the r ext decades anniversaries are great times for recollections especially as we grow older following the growth of a community one gets to know so intimately is interesting and growing with it makes it doubly interesting we reentered the weekly newspaper field about the same time that mr tempi n went back to the fergus news record and naturally found a common interest in us anniversary recollections last week we were both young fellows then and well recall attend ing district press gatherings when j c templin h p moore mr wright

folks have completed their christmas fhoppmg but most of us are still left with the problem to be settled before december 25th the christmas season these times is extended well over a month in the cities but somehow we in the smaller centres have our chnstmat parades nd parties and most of our shopping packed into the last week or two immediately preceding c hristmas city stores may be sold out of many lines city mobs hive been picking the stores for weeks we are told and there his boon the hectic rush of shopping that city folks seem to enjoy it you like it you too c in pick any day and liae il but if you prefer the easier less tirmq and less expensive methods you ii find better values in your own home stores just look through the advert semen ts m this or any issue of your home town paper and make up your shopping lst from the suggestions offered you ii finds clerks in the stores who have a personal interest in you and your problems you ii find articles that meet your requirements and ou will not have the unnecessary expense of travel to shorten your christmas budget that s why we say christmas shopping can best be done at home in acton editorial notes the december thaw should be a real boon to ill communities short on water supply and also a help in the power situation stationary or lower prices on new models of cars is forecast for next year this in spite of
