when both counties outgrow itw oint arrangement the wmiblr thing for both il to meet present day requirements we are all for keeping down municipal expenditure and curtailing debenture indebtedness where pos ible it doei not however seem good municipal program to invijt more money in building and equipment that is inadequate for present needs end when completed would not give the public the service required for both counties penny wise and pound foolish is an old proverb that it as fitting today as back in the days it was first uttered in the cose of the proqrflm for a home for the aged in halton the present expenditure does seem high but viewed over the term of years the wisdom of county council will we believe be proven plans for the new hillon horn should be plastic as well as making provision for present needs we believe expenditure of all munici palitics should be weighed carefully and cur tailed whenever possible but certainly there are new expenditures that must lie made if we are in this generation to make a contribution toward progress butinvu failures rising business failures in canada are increasing according to a survey in the financial post but the rate is well below that which prevailed after the first world war when the country also ex perienced a period of- readjustment i indications are that the trend will continue in the view of business experts they base their opinions on two major factors the return of n more competitive mnrket and inevitable weed ing out of inexpononced nirtnaqement and firms which lack sound finflticinq here s the 1949

municipality ttiey folk about such tlimgs as freicjht rates proximity to the source of material supply and distribution costs they are partly right for these are factors which have some part in determining the most economic location of any industrial enterprise never however underestimate the power of a woman j in recent discussions with several manufac furors who are considering moving their plants frofti large cities to smaller communities we wore told that the biggest single obstacle was not j the cost of moving the finding of adequate per sonnel nor freight rates but morely convincing j the wives of certain key employees that ttfe in a i smalt town was human one manufacturer who had moved to a point 60 miles outside toronto some three years ago was being forced to return to the city because the wives of certain of hixexecutives would not dust themselves to life and friends in a smaller centre making strangers feel at home improving local recreation facilities raising the cultural level of a community and other similar considerations are often poohpoohed by harcubeaded busi ness men and labor leaders who claim that the l mam ob of a chamber of commerce or a town council is to o out and get more industry lt often happens however that seemingly unimportant considerations such as these are the very things which determine the industrial nd commercial prosperity of a town or village most industrial heads move their plants to new communities becaute they fall in love with the way of life in those communities not because of economic factors they like the fishing they like the people they like the beauty of the streets they are impressed by the cleanliness of the town in other words they think thats the sort of place i d tike to live in and raise my children and if their key executives feel the same way the industrial progret of that town is ure a friendly welcorne and a friendly face it cften a greater asset to a community than a strategic location ttt functions of tportr a newspaper reporter is of necessity ar im personal bbserver of the happenings of the community officially it matters litite to turn v hat art ton a town council or any other civic fody or organization may take in any given matter as an impartial observer a news item stating one side of a cotrovery is just as trn portant as an item conveying the other side in other words he ts not a biased witness of any event me is interested only from the ttandoomt of tews perhaps th actions of a rrporttr at a nw etm sometimes seem unusual but ihey have to lc unusual ijecause he is ns we have said only an observer omi not a participant in an event it will le noticed that fie do s not applaud when a speaker mates some remarks that please the audience he does not join in the programme unless it is to stand when the national anthem is ung he is merely an onlooker and is reporting the cause of events not solely for the benefit of those at the meeting but for the whole com munity to paraphrase a famous poem his is not to reason why that phrase adequately describes the reporter s attitude toward any assignment he is called upon to cover he should not fv expect ed to take part in the proceedings unless fie is personally interested as a member of the group i smith s falls record news equal pay for equal wonv in the towns and villages and on th far mi most folk wort a six or seven day wet k in the fittes many people now work only fivt days a week much of what city people buy is produced i y a long work week in the country much of what rural folk have to buy is pro cjuced by a short work week in the city yet earnings in the towns villages and farm hamlets are on the average lower than those of citydwellers this means that most country folk are work mg longer hours for less money so that some of their urban neighbours can earn more money working shorter hours j equal pay for equal work might lead to an economic revolution and a consequent decentral
