over the figure for the previous year according to senior maor j plulp welfare director of jhe salvation army it is hard to believe that a civilized com munily should tolerate such cjebauchery want

sponsor worthwhile activities and donate generously to them there arotheministers and the school teachers one aspect of community service that is brought specially before gs is the fine work done by the country correspondehts for the paper their budget of weekly news is the result of much time and thought and we urge those in the dif ferent districts which have correspondents to co operate with them all they can and to contact theminxaseof special news items what events aftetall are more important to ordinary people than the little things which hap pen cetyweek the regular meetings which have become an integral part of so maviy peo pies lives the fires and the kindness of neigh hours which follows the perspnals in a country which prides itself in being interested in people rather than material things all are valuable it s births marriages and deaths which make the world go round- the country correspondents re fleet the happenings in one district kindly they know what to omit sensationalism thank good ness is not their aim in these columns from out of town areas those who have left the district find the names that are familiar these columns specialize in personal items for no great items of science art politics economics or what have you take place there as a rule from the country correspondent comes news which gives life and warmth to the black and white pages of the-

government s attitude toward taxation is that it is preferable for every sphere of govern men to have as much autonomy as possible welfare and education premier frost said should he administered by the government closest to the people and thaf is tho municipal- government also ho thought tho responsibility of raising the money should accompany tho re sponsibihty of spending it in his meeting with the association tho pre mier promised an increase in municipal grants over 4he67 ooorooo of last year this can be considered in two lights first of all it will be necessary either to raise the present tax levy or find new fields for provincial taxation the in ciease in grants to the municipality will be a wel come iiem when councils meet to establish tax rates but no one is really getting anything for nothing it all comes out of the same pocket whether if comes from the municipal provincial or federal government the municipal association should be com mended on requesting

adopting the re quired lime seems to be increasing even though somo municipalities adopt a specific period in which daylight saving time is used they may have to revise their plans to avoid confliction with surrounding municipalities city necessity the other day in toronto we did some side walk inspection of construction no it wasn t on the subway project but or bathurst street m one of the city parks we were arriazed to soe work men making foundations and laying pipes for an artificial ice surface there was apparency no i uildihg but this surface is laid out in the open where the wind and ram and snow will limit its i se we ve seen the many natural ice surfaces kept up by the city in various parts and they ap peared reasonable projects but apparently the fickleness of our weather in canada isn t de veloping enough good hockey players for toronto s needs and the taxpayers are providing expensive artificial ice plans at strategic spots we are not concerned about how toronto taxpayers spend their money and we mention the observation in the hope that smaller centres will not try to keep up with the city dwellers there s a limit to the ability to pay and we don t think artificial outdoor ice surfaces are essential we are rather surprised that in view of the head lined shortages of steef and building materials that such a project s proceeding but then we
