cent wo might go on at length but it s not nocos sary you as a citizen can got all the information end a copy of the book by simply asking for it at the dorks office its your money and your towns business roport super speed super danger highway no 25 the super highway that now links acton and milton with a fine asphalt strip is completed with its completion another semi speedway is added to ontario roads and this one is close to home beyond a doubt it is easier for a driver to speed along at 60 or 70 than it is to stay down to 50 miles per hour that is because the car ust seems to glide along there has already been one serious accident on the road even before it was completed there can and no doubt will be more corporal ray mason expressed the opinion of alj of us this week when he said we do not want the newly surfaced no 25 highway initiated with a death the road hat attracted acton youngsters with bicycles and tricycles with them and a combina tion of speeding motorists something is sure to happen schools are out now but the road is the path many children take on their daily trip to school or between one farm and another bicycle riders also use ihe road they must be careful and the drivers that use the road must be cautious of these youngsters it is hopod that the white lines will soon be added to the road just last saturday one heavily loaded truck was in the ditch crowded there the driver claimed by a larger vehicle the white line lets everyone know how much road they ate entitled to and tney are an important addition yet to come on no 25 why does he ever wonder why an oditor uses the word we in writing an editorial over 100 years ago the williamsburg iowa advocate submitted this explanation of the edi tonal we a country editor is one who reads news papers selocts miscellany writes articles on all subeds set type read only the other day as we sometimes carries them prints obs runs on er rahds cuts wood works in the garden talks to all his patrons who call patiently receiving the blame for a thousand things that never were end never can be done gels little money has scarce time and materials to satisfy his hunger or toen- oy the quiet of nature s sweet restorer sleep and esteems himself peculiarly happy if he not assaulted by some unprincipled demagogue who loves puppet shows and hires the rabble with a treat of cider brandy to vote him into some petty office a man who does all this ahd much more not here recorded you will know must be a talhtr busy animal and as he performs the work of so many different persons he may ustly be supposed their representative and to have an in disputable right when speaking of himself to use the plural number and lo say we on all oc casions and in olf places t half of 951 has gone and most of the dire things we foared have not been so bad even the korean war seems more likely for settlement than at the year s beginning old age pensions for all of interest particularly to older canadians v at the announcement on tuesday by hon paul martin regarding canadas old age pensions thorcrhavobeen many lrtqulrls the method of application for thoso now over 70 yoars ofage if you are already getting the old ago pen slon therefore it is not necessary lo apply to do so would only complicate our work the new application forms need to be filled dutonly brj those pertorts of 70 and over who are not now in receipt of old age pensions if you are not now getting an old age pen slon please watch for the announcements tbat will be made later this month through the news papers the radio and in other ways as to where you should get your application form for the universal pension when theso application forms are made available please fill one out as soon as possible and send it in to t regional dirgfldr of

rfed couple tho prime minister pointed out recently these univorsal pensions from the start will have a contributory feature and every person who has sufficient resources to contribute to wards the cost of the universal pension will be required to do so for this universal pension there will be a residence qualification similar to that for old age assistance but otherwise it will be paid to everyone in canada to citizen or noncitizen and to the indians the first canadians must sell again we hear a lot of complaint about credit re frictions and other causes that are flowing up ales but we are inclined to agree with the blunt opinion that was given recently by g w harri man of the austin motor co that lack of sales manship is also a potent factor in dropping of sales salesmen havethrough the past years be come accustomed to goods moving themselves they have merely become order takers and the stock urge for moving goods has been the inti mation of higher prices to follow or shortage of the line customers had to line up for the dwind ling line of goods availableoind often take sub mitute to meet their needs or wait weeks or months for deliveries goods flowed straight from the factory to ihe consumer with hardly a pause at wholesale or retail level it appears that the abnormal wartime backlog has been filled and the lush days are over sales men are going to have to learn to sell again indications are that canadians still have plenty of funds available for purchasing goods and that sales need not lag if energy is put into the selling effort we have no faults canadians are lucky other nations have welt known faults but our critics say we are not yet a nation and are not well known ergo we cannot hove well known national faults j this gives us scope we are not stuck with a role tike a friendly irishman forced to keep on being contrary or a modest englishman con demned to being bossy or a bagpipe hating scot forced to fight if you run down the bagpipes canadians can be anything within their capacity and their will to be but only for this moment we are on the edge of minor importance we are runner up for the championship of ihe common wealth and empire at the present rate we could soon be champ then people would stop patting us on the back but instead lower and harder wt should be a well known nation with faults as confirmed before the world as bumptiousness of tne damyankee now whik feware looking at us very crit c ally is the time to get our national character on straight what kind of people do we want ys bt have we the capacity and the will to bq that kinii of people we have if the decision and effort is made by all of us if we leave it to john smith along the street we shall get struck with a repu tation for phlegm or if to pierre cote for pea soup or if to those two only for binary fission let all pitch in wilh pierre and john to make it quite a country 1 the good old days j may have seemed better backnha taktn from the sime o
