scx r thf acton fke press t1hjwbdav april lath ids living together u typical of he uncompromising world attitude today that the- adjusted hlgti school levy in north gallon would no find unanimous ap proval there have been five years spent in this county on making an assessment for county pur- postilhaj would be fair to all the municipalities there have been unnecessary delays and eva sions in splteof the fact that a common manual was set down for guidance all know that then have been many changes in the past thirty years in the growth and de velopment of halton some sections have grown more than others such too is the case in the north end of the county and it affects the amount paid into the high school district comprising five municipall- ties the board agreed almost unanimously to let the matter go to an arbitration board for an amicable settlement it is rather interestjng to note that acton milton esquesing and nassagaweya councils have agreed to accept this settlement and that the one refusal is from georgetown the town whioh held out of the district until financial as pects of the district were so attractive that it was advisable to come in it is also interesting to note that while refusal nf lh vipgcmfh l wm made the estimates of the town provided for tius amount no one likes to pay more than necessary true esquesing and nassagaweya will benefit in the edustment while acton and georgetown make up this benefit but based on the figures available it is an equitable edustment pending a hopeful completion of the county assessment certainly something can surely be done among northern neighbors awaiting the whole of the county to become equalized active and non-participants- after world wars i and ii it was quite a com monplace remark to hear that the settlement of these wars would have been better carried out by the soldiers than by the politicians this pre sent conflict has given some testing to that state ment while the battle still is being waged general macarthur is making publichis views much to the discomfiture of the politicians and it appears that we witnessed a show down on who knows the most about the war the man in korea or the men who s t around tables in the various capitals and argue the geneial seems to have one thing in his favbv the settlement of wars made by the poll ticians has never been very lasting whereas tne statements from the fieldman have to tho best of 1 our knowledge never been given much of a trial we dqn t profess to know which is right or wrong but we do think it s a healthy sign to see men with the courage to make public statements regardless of what the politicians may like after blttherearetwosidestowhatlhepub c should- know and all the brains are not assembled in our elected representatives maybe the men who f ght wars should have an opportunity for ex pression as well as those who talk wars and world events round one s ever biggest housecleaning yet if there ever was a year when tprlng clean ing would need to be townwide it is this year in acton weve had an upheaval of sewers with an unearthing of underground that has left our town in perhaps the dirtiest slat in its history out the job is done now and lis spring and time for putting our house in order true the restoration of our streets is a muni cipal ob but if we are going to have some re semblance of cleanliness again house cleaning will hav to be undertaken by all the citizens and we ii certainly get real satisfaction in the amount of jdirt that will be turned up in every corner therell be a need too for much painting and decorating after the dirt haibeen cleaned away spring cleaning will be no idle effort this year with a minute searching and for more than the housewives yes and its likely lhat spring cleaning will of necessity be carried on right through the summer months but let s tackle it now and got our town clean and orderly again and a place that will soon live down the reputation lhat it has had for the past two years when everything has been so dis orderly u keep running inio more and mow mvk re- ststance everv day the good old days may have seemed better jijlovesjto grow bureaucracy just loves lo grow declares the financial post it cites a case of 9 95 worth of paper work by tne u s civil service to make a purchase of a 50 cent magazine says the post it would be interesting to have some com parable figures for canadian government pur chasing while the cost of paper work might not be quite as high as in the united states because our bureaucracy is younger and presumably hasr not had quite the same opportunity for flourish ing our record might not be good eithor bureaucracy is something like a small tree one plants on the front lawn it ust loves to grow sending out branches and roots in all directions tho only remedy is constant pruning if one doesn t do that regularly and severely the whole place would soon be overrun and that is exactly the remedy we must apply to our bureaucracy

with jhe 1941 census figures will provide an accurate measure of the progress made in the decade the 1941 census revealed thot 69 per cent of all canadian households used electricity for lighting purposes in a sample survey conducted by the bureau in the fall of 1949 it was found that the proportion had risen to 86 per cent a striking rise in a period of less than nine years according to experts a person s big toe is really a thermostat they claim that whenever the air temperature drops the big toe acts as a thermostat and begins to shut off the heat the body sends to the arms and legs this conserves the heat needed to maintain the temperature of the interior of the body at 98 6 degrees which is essential to the smooth functioning of the vital organs it also explains why toes and fingers often get cold before the rest of the body in leresting but how do you ad th big toe thermostat the travel these days is from south to north as the birds and the florida visitors come back
