edit itoflbrl a cemuwuaity evm thf have been mny fine re umom mark inn vartout events in acion and lots of ac ton tan i will recall the one marking fifty years of incor port ton at a villaq in 1923 the pccanon of acion becomtng a town n a very oppoftune time for tuch another reunion depress ion and war yrt uw many events passed up since 1923 end folks in town and acton tans living elsewhere would we believe relish this summer a opportunity for gathering in acton and joining in any celebration manving the town status it cnt in any event be said that the re union plans have been overworked in this community we believe all citizen will be gad to note that council has decided to call a meeting to dttxut a sown celebration for this summer if tt ooing v be success it will require the whole hmritftd tupport of every citizen council has tekan the flrtt step but it s not up to council to do 4h whole fob let s give our support in the p4en le every one be a booster and a willing hevlper remember many hands make the task eay and the first step is to attend the meeting called by council for manrh 3rd that s the lirj move to marb actons elevation to town status qther steps will likely follow if a celebration of the occasion is approved and there ii be every opportunity for all to share in the event rather we as a government would adopt the same procedure as is now found to be most efficient by large business namely the leasing of property on long term rentals if the government required space in a par ttcular municipality it would advertise that it v as prepared to rent space of ihe following specifications for a certain period of time and would invite tenders for the supplying of that pace private contractors who had land sites on xthey wished to erect buildings could then their proposals existing property owners could tender making such conversions them selves as would be necessary in this way we believe millions of hollars worth of our money would be saved and the whole question of the tax relationship between the federal government and the local municipal government would be solved property would remain as it should be in private hands that privately owned properly would pay its proper tax load the federal gov ernment would not have millions of dollars tied up in property sometimes of dubious value the actual true cost of operating each government department insofar as property charges are con cerned would te known annually through annual rentals we doubt very much if any government is justified in getting into the building business cither through constructing tvousing or public buildings and certainly no government should own or operate eitirr beyond an emergency period 1 recollections of acion 30czzlfotfc51fo1fc305 farm farvmt the farm forums which are reported each week have come to be a very popular depart ment of the news pages the country folks read triem to find out the viewpoints other forums take in discussing the various subjects and urban people read them to be more conversant with the many rural problems of today the spread of the vogue of the farm forum i remarkable it hns grown in popularity and usefulness because it gives to the rurjil people an opportunity to discuss common problems and to provide some ol their own answers to questions which are disturbing their minds in 1 many cases the deltbet a lions of the farm forum groups have led to action proqrams tor the bene lil of their own communities the farm orum is truly democracy in action lecause it provides a basis for the cr btjlliration ot the ihouqhts o rurii people some consider the forum- real praitnal adult education we fae often felt that it would be a qood thing if there were a s nular tpe of forum for people of ihe towns and ties business men nnnufacti iers or i ther vocations where they could meet m small dscussion groups and talk ever their problems and sucjqest their on solu ttons in a homelike atmosphere divorced entirely from any poltial bas much qood has been accomplished b the farm forums and we feel that such an activity would hive equally bene ticial results in the towns and cities a farm cftarter god has chosen the land to work his miracles as freely as we who work in the fields give our whole hearts and care to the land so freely will tt yield its fruit in abundance we pledge ourselves to rear and tend live birds and beasts with such love and care that they shall multiply and prosper they shall pro vide bounteously for people and enrich our soil in the fulness of gods perfect plan we will see that our yards roads buildings and machinery become a model that gives lift nd inspiration to all at the heart of every farm is the home we who are trusted with its care wilt create a spirit which will be a welcome to all who enter it we will keep it clean and beautiful we will bring imagination and care to the planning and pre paration of every meal by being as open as the fields to every frost rrin and ray of sunshine as willing to change as the oak sheds its leaves in autumn as eager to reach out into the unknown as ihe jirst blossom of spring so shall our farm live in the hearts of men and help to bring abundance to the nations the aims in this charter were set down by farm workers who turned one of the worst farms in west suffolk england into one which has increased production four fold since 1939 the tractordriver on this farm when offered a job on a neighbouring farm at 2 a week more than he was getting refused the offer saying we have something on our farm that money cannot buy should government own property municipal governments profeis to be out rtged at the new tan formula offered by the federal government to remunerate cities towns and villages for what have been to date tax ex empt properties we have every sympathy with the munici palities but we wonder whether they have as et got to the heart of the problem our federal government spends millions of dollars of our tax money each year to build pub lic buildings across the dominion millions more ate spent to revise and repair these buildings many of these construction projects are dictated not solply by economic need but by political and employment considerations few of us would argue that our public investments in undertak ings of this typeare handled efficiently or econ omically public construction is very often a pork barrel product might il not be worthwhile to consider the practicability of disposing of current publicly- owned buildings end refusing to build any more debt 30 times pregreat war back m 1913 states the financial post be fore the firit world war canada s national debt amounted to little more than haf a billion dol lars when the war was over and won it had climbed to almost 3 billions now a few years after another and stitl more expensive war the country owes s7 billions or 30 times more than in 1913 fven after niakmq due allowances for the fact that our population has doubled since 1913 and the interest rate payable on our debt has been substant illy reduced this enormous expin sion cannol le viewed with complacency with ci r greatly boosted national income and our huge ga n in
