aobwo the acton rux press thursday vsbruary th 151 holding the line theie am day of er rlilng coiij in lite publishing field and more and mora newtpapatf are finding the only answer ly distributing the coitoviiioiuridjuhkilbuaituflyol tfeets increases reveals that the increases are much less than the customer is paying in other field from haircuts down r publishers can do a lot for instance in our own case we have been able to meet some of the added cost by buying materials in great quantities but this required more storage space end theredxenlege of having control for buying for two newspapers the expenditure on modern machinery has also reduced production costs without these advantages larger increases would have been required to meet costs there are ways too in which subscribers i k- end customers cn assist in keeping price down prompt renewals of subscriptions means savings inbillings it costs in postage alono four cents on every billing plus stationery and bookkeep ing this can be saved by watching your label and paying ahead of expiry date advertisers can help by sending remittances with advertisements or calling in and paying be fore the accounts haveto be mailed a penny saved is a penny earned and if we arc to main scnplion prices the pb is one that must bo done cooperatively we might add also that in making remit tances by mail do not send cheques for small amounts a little inquiry will reveal more eco nomical methods of remitting it is not our desire to make enyjncreases at the present time but tcl hold the line we need the cooperation of all to theyve loose again every community has its occasional visitors who have a slick racket according to a recent issue of the brampton conservator kevsral-retl- den of that p cpunly town had been victim izecfby socalled salesmen the conservatr states that two men said la have been driving a car bearing a british columbia license extracted a sum estimated at 40- from a number of bramp tomans before they blew town there it no use saying it cant happen here or we wouldnt be the victims of these rackets usually the flyby night salesman is well armed with proof of hlsjiellablllty and will issue re ceipts he quite often has the names of citizens you know and may produce orders supposed to be signed by them there is only one way to meet him take time to investigate and if in doubt check with the police one of the things always required by the high pressure salesman is immodiate acceptance and your money take time to investigate bo fore you give oither to a stranger i attmt

beyond our control making up the tax rate another evidence of things to cdme in the way of higher local taxes in the county road budget passed last week for halton of 210000 which we understand is 31 000 greater than last year maintenance of county roads is esti mated at 134 000 construction 45 500 mach inery repairs 9000 and 21 000 miscellaneous actually road expenditures in halton last year were 178 446 we believe there are 130 miles of roads in the county on which the 210 000 estimated expenditure is to be made this is roughly a cost of 1600 per mile for county roads total mileage of all roads and streets in the county is 738 miles which leaves over 600 miles looked afterbythe province- in highways and the towns and townships we are not being critical but rather present the figures in an effort to show portion of the costs that make up your local tax rates the whole municipal tax field could be similarly analyzed and it would likely bring out the fact that muniopatcdoncils who provide all the amounts for the various bodies have little voice in the setting of the tax rate but the rather diffi cult ob of making the announcement of the rate and hearing the complaints coddling trade unions delegates at the annual convention of tho ontario provincial federation of labor in toronto clashod over a motion seeking government legis lation to limit working hours of hamilton stroot car and 60tfrtvers to five days a week while younger delegates supported the motion older unionists argued that it sought too much gov ernment coddling this view was stressed by fcobert ford president of the ottawa typo graphical union who said he was surprised that any labor group would ask the government to do a ob the union itself should be doing and he added it ust shows a lack of intestinal forti tude in the people who ask the government to do their work if this sort of thing goes on it will not be long before trade unionism is wiped out altogether mr ford has probably been studying a re cent history of trade unions in russia and ger many which describes how by rneans of legisla five coddling the unions in those countries were gradually absorbed by the government and the labor leaders became bureaucratic slave drivers of the workers the same process in its eatly stages is operating under the british labor government which has already absorbed many labor union leaders it is a natural and quite logical process and it is being speeded up by the nationalization of industries which must in evitably lead to the nationalization of labor unions socialism plays with labor unions

changes in the number and average size of canadian families wilt be revealed by the ninth decennial census of cqnada to be taken n june this year during the ten years from 1931 to 1941 the average number of children per family decreased smce 1941 the number of families has risen far more than during the 1930s but it is probable that the average number of children per family has decreased further in spite of a marked increase in the birth rate exactly how much each has changed will be shown by the 1951 census the 1931 census enumerated 2 149000 familes while at the 1941 census 2525 000 were recorded an increase of 17 5 per cent judging by estimates for years since 1941 the 1951 census will show a still larger proportion ntt as wtll as numerical ncrease over 1941 the estimated number of families in june 1949 the tales dale for which such an estimate is availabe was 3 187 000 an increase of over 26 per cent strict 1941 thi ffrt nlnrm ranji on tuesdnj at noon for the first time
