page two the acton free press thursday june 21nt ib5i will they notice in a busy town like acton that has an abund anco of traffic on its through highway it is no wonder a lot of pcoplo see our main strcctv manyoijhttpeoplewho suffer five minutes inconvenience in passing over tho roads ore not too kind in bearing tho results of our growing pains indeed several of our contemporary weekly publishers have managed to comment unfavor ably on tho conditions that seems to be one of tho results of bemff a busy centre that has a lot of visitors several years ago we visited clinton ont and they too were installing a sewerage system their streets were terrible beyond a doubt and they too drew much unfavorable comment from visitors but things have changed and progressed in clinton and they now have some of the finest roads and streets in ontario wo wonder how many people have found time and space to compliment this centre on its improvement we- are also wondering if all those who have commented unfavorably in passing through our busy town recently will take the time to pass on the nice things when we soon have renewed pavement underground cable and steel stand ards for lighting new curbing and all the other things that are to bo done in improving the lot of visitors when they pass through or will they zip through keeping barely under the speed limit growling if they get a traffic violation ticket and not noticing bur busy town unity for canadians canada is a vast land only the southern fringes of which are populated with a scattered fourteen million people a land divided into sections by mountains and wilderness and sea a land where dwell people and descendants of people from nearly every nation of the world and yet despite distances and differences canadians are brethren dwelling together in unity motivated by the common obective of building a great nation of the north in the new world whether we speak french or engl sh we are convinced that by working together we can build on the northern half of the north amer can con tinent a nation that w ii be a stronghold o democracy and freedom a model for others tc follow unity in canada is a living growing thing it has developed greatly during the first half of the twentieth century even in the lifetime of t many canadians now in their prime old ammosi ties have dipd old sectional feuds have dis appeared or nearly so never however in our development of nat ional unity has there been any thought oi elim mating the variety that makes us what we are rather there has been encouragement cr the cultures and traditions brought here frcm other lands there is much that can be done to strengthen our unity if we canadians will but make the effort we need for example a national flag more national songs a more extens ve inter change of plays and music and dancing more books about canadians and our way of life more of everything that will help bring us to aether so that we will have an opportunity to know each other better british isles bermuda and the west indies covers only 160d0 miles of routes it is in sums of money though that wo roal- izo how much wo err in undervaluing large sums thousands and millions are too easy tcnnty actuiillyrthe private and public oxpondi ture of all canada was estimated at 3900000- 000 for tho year 1950 and this towns oxpon diture would ust form a small fraction of that amount this years assessment for acton is 2124- 171 at a tax rate of 43 mills this totals about 93000 for public use this yoar tho sewerage system for which 12 mills is designated this year will total over 500000 in 20 years that very maor expenditure for a town of this size is ust half a million it would take a man oarning 50 a week many years to earn 1000000 not counting food rent family and of course taxes a life time no indeed it would requiro 384 years of steady work with not a cent spent so its highly unlikely our neighbors will reach thijt brackot if youre still casual about millions well gladly accept your cheque for that sum at the regular rate of 2 50 per annum you will re ceive this paper for 4000 yearsl lf you feel that s not too practical we ii leave instructions to hnvo the subscription passod from generation- to generation your descendants will find a little please renew note some day when you are a grandfather or grandmother with 160 greats in front of the title thanks a million if anyone has ever totd you thai vcl nave a million dollar smile take good care cf t a million has a flippant sound about t these days but it represents after all a very ery great deal it s about half the assessed value cf all the land and property in town for nstance we have more respect for evtn a lew form cf millionaire when wc rcaluc f tit rook i

ouch just like the weather one of this years main conversation subjects is mosquitoes and yet no one does anything about them but swat here and there in an attempt to beat the life from one of the million little pests that surround you when you go into the garden or outside any place anytime it isn t just a local problem either in every town we have been in the blood sucking armies seemed to be attempting to conquer many of the mosquito repellents on the market keep them away but ust about six inches the repellent soaked individual must tolerate the penetrating hum and await the stinging strike that never comes gardens have been neglected this year be cause an attempt to work in them is ust inviting an army to attack leaving you with many mis erable scratching moments just as the weather though no one does any thing about them we spent a most enoyable week at a mosquitoless cottage once it wasn t because the area was mosquito proof either it was because a group of the cottagers contributed and hired a plane to spray the area for mos quitoes and black flies and it was done while people were at their cottages there was no mass evacuation necessary it did the trick mosquitoes were not buzz ing around preying on humans and all this con tributed to an enioyable time why can t towns be sprayed for the same reason numerous reasons have been put forth for the unusually large mosquito crop this year but one of the best we have heard and probably the most logical is that the mild winter did not kill off enough of the potential winged creatures in what ever stage they are in during the winter tfwivspr well fore i told you id never worked oki a farm be the good old days may have seemed better back in 1901 tnktn from i iiul of tilt pun of tlmrvdaji jxnit 20th ljol a commendable stand we commend the stand taken recently by the reeves and mayors of ontario when they went on record as not favoring the running of sweep takes for hospital maintenance if hosp fals are to be included in such a ven lure whxre would the thingend universities are even now ip desperate need pf additional funds to avoid putting a high price on education thty are seeking funds through grants and donations but as yet they have not been included r tht swtcp5take lists ttre must be a better way jhan gambling to kttp these necessary institutions operating en i sound f nanc a footing although you miy never go to un versity or nevlf enter the hospital they are there for your protect on and enlightenment it seems that too many people are pressing the dea of something for nothing or next t noth ng the magnitude of a sweepstake nee tssary to ra se enough funds would kill any personal touch that it might have serv ce clubs use the raffle idea to raise funds but the sweepstake a much larger scale the local raffles are usually quite successful be c use ptople realise they are contributing to a local project and will eventually see the result of the r having taken a chance a sweepstake ts conducted on much larger proportions which makes administration costs high and much graft possible at iht simi monthly scsmon of council mond iv i veiling it u is mow d b jno
