annual community outing ft takei many month of planning many rvourt of work by officer and directors of the fair they endeavour each year to make the event more mtereitmg and more attractive in thete day of ntmg coiti trm become a big problem and we know that thote in charge will welcome any amitance any citizen can give to make the event more successful and to keep down costs its a cooperative event for the whole town and district perhaps you can help as an exhibitor but all the community can definitely help by making sure that vmtors are welcomed shake hands with the visitor chat a moment tell them about what is going on here while they have been away perhaps yog can offer your service on fair day and if you can do not hesitate to approach the officers and tell them what you can do be member its your fair and your help and good will itr important in its uccrs we ii see you on friday and saturday at ac ton fair and we ii hope the weather man is kind stabbed in the back democracy was stabbed m the hack by acton citizens last wednesday evening when a nomma tion meeting was scheduled of the 1400 citizen eligible to attend and make nomination other than the present coun cillors and town official there were no more than four a total of ipmc i 4 to 16 citizen took the hour required to attend the meeting which i a democratic symbol of freedom of speech and freedom from fear from the appearance of the meeting it would be gathered that there were no other citizen m this whole town of 2 965 population that were interested in the future or progress of the town it was an unfortunate situat on that the nomination meeting was required but nee it wa citizen should have enough interest in municipal affairs to attend the meeting at the majority of the regular council meet ings which are held the first and third monday of each month there have been delegations and citizens requesting the time of those members of council for decisions recently 460 ratepayers signed a petition to that council asking for a change in a by law yet there were only four or five citizens at the nomination meeting to take their responsibility of choosing a member to tit on that council democracy the thing that wars have been fought over for years the four freedoms de ejoped as a basis for democracy all these things can so easily slip from the citizens mind and when they see a nomination meeting poster they think let someone els go and get stuck for the ob it is time public meetings and municipal af fairs were considered important by ratepayers and citizont in an oldfashioned way modern packaging and new methods have brought many changes in our way of living and may in some cases have added to its greater costs some of you older folks like ourselves can remember whan chocolate bars and such handy confections weren t available we used to ap pease the after school appetijes with a couple of slices of bread and a liberal coating of brown sugar or perhaps molasses or blackstrap was the spread it may be a surprise to the present day school child to know that brown sugar is still available and like the blackstrap is quite cheap in price the big tumps of brown sugar that could be bought for the price of chocolate bar would last a week and the molasses is often fed to cattle and they thrive on it af a very moderate price you can buy it packaged at a higher price and still use it as an economical spread but now they are packaging the brown sugar and it doesn t go lumpy and it isn t as moist and attractive as the kind that s weighed out of the bin in the grocers dont know how it compares in cost but we sure hope that retailers will stick to the old method of selling brown sugar some things are improved by packaging but in our estimation brown sugar isn t we re not giving a recipe column here but we are leaving a thought that perhaps high living costs can be kept down end nourishment kept up by utilizing some of the oldfashioned products in en oldfashioned way a practical approach every year in sptmbr thre is another crop of high school graduates who have to make their chotce about their next stp they can take a ob of course and learn a trade or business with no clear qualifications at atl to begin with they can go on to study and then they have to face another choice between a practical or an arts education as far as practical education in high school goes it is really only a foundation of what a qualified student should know on any one sub ject although it is a wonderful opportunity tor the itodentt in the lower high school grades to be able to take classes in shop work and home economics their ability along these lines is still very limited when they leave high school so t i on for further educat on as far at practical educat on goes the gyerson institute ol technology in toronto seems the anwer to many a problem with classes in costume design fur niture arts business electrical technology radio broadcasting food technology and many other completely down to earth subject student handle tools brushes needle wires and dial rather than facts in a unique school which fills the longempty gap between high school educa tion and ihe ability to handle a special zed prac tical ob there are pit nty of openings for d ploma graduat s from this technical institute and its work is already recognized even though the chool has only slarled its mud year of existence tins last week rec ntly the star wttuy and the financial post have considered it worthy of fea ture articles end complete description we have had some intimate knowledge of what ryerson institute offers and we commend the ontario department of educat on and those m charge of this development and the fields that are opened for fitting young people in practical business and filling a need in our educational system its first two years have seen i grow from 100 student to over 700 w th 1600 taking night classes all courses were filled when ryer son institute opened its coure th s week right at home passing frequently within a few m les of it many t mes perhaps we should be loathe to make it known that up to this week we had not v sited mnlton airport since the days when the field was first laid out and the buildings on it were a hangar and a small ticket office we were surprised therefore to find ihe growth and the importance of the place in travel that has come withm a few years when we went there ihis week the modern facilities of air travel the ac commodalion for jhe public and the regularity of a r schedules are impressive and give a new feel mg to the public who like us have been lax in discovering this travel method that has grown up in our midst it was interesting also to note that nearly every plane was carrying a capacity load wc suggest if you haven t done so that some time you take a few hours at malton airport you will find it as interesting as we did and its cer tamly not expensive as long as you stay ground ed and if you need travel not much more ex pensive than other methods editorial notes now we all hope the weather is good for the fall fairs of the district which make the week ends popular right at home we acknowledge receipt of first samples of big potatoes from a local grower we ii be look ing for more fine produce to be shown at the fair the good old days
