the acmunte ptess thursday march nth im1 easter bonnets saturday in toronto we walledvfor a few minute as the throngs went pasting by in one of the large department stores right across the aisle wa the mens hat department we have always had a notion that selecting the easter r bonnet was e matter for- only the ladles to pon der over all the tongs written are about easter bonnets andalltheieshion notes seerntoeni somerellef wesgiven the townships last phatize that the women hold high the new spring bonnet r it may seem in the best easter theme to write about womens spring hats but on saturday we saw plenty of evidence that men put in some time and thought on the purchase of their easter bonnet the clerks were all busy and we never before realized how particular and vain men were in the purchase of headwear some of them tried on most every colorand shape in the hat racks the triple mirrors were used to get the right effect from every angle combing of the hair after each tryon was- important with one man many of them left this counter to go else where befons maklngthe decision on an easter bonnet we wouldnt be surprised any time to see floral and feather creations for the men before next spring certainly its time we quit making light 6f the feminine shopping for easter bon- tvets unnecessary delay continued dissatisfaction is evident at the uri necessary delay in completing the county assess ment this was evident again last week in the appeal of esqueslng township against its levy for high school purposes and what the township appeal brought out is an underlying sentiment throughout the county holiday from controls its so easy these days to ask governments to make up shortages give subsidies or make up differences where it will end no one knows for instance we had the federal gasoline tax dropped by government in ottawa only tobe taken up by the ontario government shortly we are likelyto witness rent controls being drop ped by ottawa and taken up by toronto we see governments dabbling in wheat bacon railways and other lines and making up deficits out of more taxes what has been done as war measures become permanent resolutions the govemrnvntmofetefltlniriu5lnghbstior helped provide more homes builders have simply let the responsibility go unknown to most canadians is the fact that they paid a cash subsidy of about 11000000 last year to give their sugar business to commonwealth countries the trouble seems to be that we dont see the cost of subsidies in theartjcles we buy but in spite of the subsidies prjees have risen in nearly every instance latest tax suggested is a retail tax by the various provinces which will also be hidden one clear conclusion can be drawn from the conspicuously unfortunate wheat deal with brit ain points out the calgary herald this deal was achieved by two governments which had invaded the precincts of private trade and insist ed that they knew better than private citizens how trade should beconducted the result is plain for all to see we hope the farmers and the farm organizations will perceive the moral lets have a holiday from government war time cdntrols and a holiday from wars that ap pear now to be a necessary threat to bolster re tention of control year in high school levy but according to a rul ing given by the municipal board in a similar case it is pointed out that the only basis for high school district levies is on the equalized assess ment figures of the county we believe esquesing and nassagaweya are justified in their complaint on the levy but the only way in which it can be settled is by comple tion of the county assessment certainly acton and milton are not retarding this work as their iiawassessment has been in use for two years thore is no- excuse for other municipalities de laying the work further and provoking the con tentious question to be big municipalities have to show their greatness in many ways besides population figures if the work cannot bo com pleted throughout the county by those presently in charge its certainly time for a change h i shoe shtrk mjoow the good old days may have seemed better effort not magic no one will dispute the fact that industries small towns give a measure of stability to the community they provide employment f boys and girls who have received their education ir the district they support families who in turn pay taxes and support local business enterprise our town has already several industries which have been so successful in helping de velop the communtfy and provide employment that it is apparent thatmore are needed hero people of this community however cannot sit back and oxpect industries to spring up of their own accord as if by magic nor can they expeclgovernments or outside firms to do what must be done if more industries are to be located city inconveniences some way or other the city conveniences are losing any glamour thvy may have had and the city inconveniences are becoming more promi nent sometimes we wonder if our advancement and great organizations have made life more vulnerable to attack from many sides take for instance the city milk strike such a thing is not likely in the smaller towns where the dairy owners are the drivers and have full control of their own industry back in the days fifty years ago the only milk strike was when the family cow went dry and then you got your supply from the neighbour and you supplied him when his dairy was temporarilyclosed in these days of thought iqssness of our neighbour we may- have a curtailment of any service in fact in the cities it seems the folks just emerge from one strike to meet up with another inconvenience maybe its the garbage thats threatened or the car fares raised but the con- osntration of people just doesnt appear to be working for the peace of mind of city dwellers perhaps we should view with alarm any growth of our own communities which will require such a complex and extensive organization as that in the cities where each group comioars its prob lems only in the light of its own interests and without regard wa neighbour we dont sayit cant happen hare but we do say that board and regulation of city minded folks are not giving a good example the sooner wa ost away from government control of pro ducts the batter it will be for all the milk board has proved itsuseletsness in thecity and towns would be better off if freed from its regulations dissolution of so many government agencies would release a lot of manpower for practical heeds in our town we must be prepared to help ourselves to industries it should not be left to chambers of commerce or councils alone its the job of every citizen a good example of community effort in de veloping local industry is the achievement of al- tona a small town in manitoba there through cooperative effort has been established a vege table oil refinery which last year produced oil and other products valued at welj over a million dollars the oil is used in margarine and shorten ing and in a cooking and salad oil which is now being marketed nationally it is produced from sunflower seeds grown by the farmers in an ex tensive surrounding district this- industry puts a good deal of cash into the pockets of the farmers of the community it rnaintairis a large payroll jt was established be cause a few farmersand business men had vision andthe necessary enthusiasm and fore sight to put their vision into action they saw the opportunity and did something about it the plant at altona we understand is the only one of its kind in western canada and it would ap pear that there is room for other similar plants in canadas economy there has been much talk of the need for new industries but as mark twain said about the weather no one does anything about it if we are to have new industrials there is no use watting for outsiders to come in and estab lish them for us if that is what we want we may have
