j faom two the acton free press acton ontario t11ui1mjay kfitfmi1eh so ibm n fall fair time tkelangofautumnitm theaitbnngino- with it the season of fall fairs agricultural fairs are as old as recordod history the first organiz- eltone-in-canada-was-neld-at-wlndsort-nova- scotla in 1765 since then fairs predominantly agricultural have spread westward until now there is an annual exhibition in hundreds of cities towns and villages they have made and continue to make an immeasurable contribution toward the solidarity and progress of canada large or small agricultural fairs are now well established features of community life besides providing all the fun of the fair they are an ideal meeting place for farmers in surrounding areas to gather and get some idea of what other far mers aro doing and to find out what is new in agriculture to the farm boys and girls they are often the culmination of wcoks of work when their entrios of livestock grains and other farm products are udged the increasing interest shown in agricultural fairs by the goneral public has been most mark ed during the last decade and many of those visitors aroi genuinely interested in finding out more of canadas basic industry they are too the farmers customers and the more they can learn of farming and farm problems the more une i d which farmers often face and the decisions they are called upon to make its acton fair on friday and saturday of this week plan to visit it and meet all your friends and enoy the last outing before cold weather the anonymous citizen newspaper -and-poopio-in-public-oifice-jiave- ono thing in commonthoy both receive anony mous letters people often have things they want -to-telltithers-and-seck-newspaper-space-lhrough- a lottor to ho odltor to do it this is quite right as leng as their comments aro not libelous- and if they sign their name to their criticisms quito often howovor the letter writer feols his com ments are too strong and decides not to sign his or her name men who sit on municipal councils occasion ally receive anonymous letters criticizing tholr actions these men aro on council and public boards because of an intorest in the town and containly not for the financial return it might bring we have little patience with a citizen if he might be called that who criticizes and does not have enough of the inner stuff to sign his name councillors town officials and newspapers are all human and sgbccl to errors and conse quontly criticisms but not from the anonymous citizen for ho lacks the courage to accept ex planations or rebuttals he eliminates the possi bility of a complete understanding by refusing to hear the other side of the story newspapers usually stick to the policy of not just canadians we sincerely hope that when our royal visitors come to canada next month they will be able to distinguish when they are in canada and when they go to the united states we have every neighborly feeling for the united states but the displtfytof american flagsin canada has reached the stage when it is cheap and disgust ing city store decorations display almost as many american flags as the canadian ensign ap parently in their bending over backward to lure american trade we do some occasional travelling south of the border and never have we yet except at functions where representatives of both coun tries are meeting seen a canadian flag displayed there may be the occasional one to be seen at border points but 50 miles from the border and even closer canadian money will not be accepted and most of the folks have never seen a canadian flaq canada is a nation today us reqrettible that our qovernment ha not seen fit to adopt an official flog to inform the orld of our rntionil satus but failing such leidership let s display the flag which we may have and stop the public display of the flags bijonqmo to another coun try when the royil visitors lome to cinicla they ill expert to see things canadi m and when they visit the united states they will see typicil american thinqs and old glory flown from every flag pole and business place we don t txpect our cousins to display our canadian ensign and ether folks don t expect canadians to displav their fliq or show customs that are distinctive of that nation lets be canadians for visitors and canadians all the time let s grow up and display our nationhood a greater disease more people suffer from diseases lhat can be listed as chronic alcoholism than from tubercu losis and poliomyelitis combined according to gordon bell m d writing recently in health magazine of the health league of canada fur thermore the vast maonty of these conditions should be preventable most of the secondary disorders follow ad diction and secondary addiction particujarly is one that usually has a considerable exposure to alcohol before even addiction develops writes dr bell in other words we have a period for education and for prevention for tne prevention of other diseases we us ually try to remove the cause pairyp are carefully guarded and for polto we have all kinds of preventative measures we do not hositato to destroy the cause of any crease no matter what the cause except in this disease of chronic alcobolism here the proffts seem to be more important than the suffering of mankind and backed by these profits alcohol is made to appear as a harmless drink but with wider spread of its use its promotion in every way possible by the liquor interests more and more boys and girls men and women are being made addicts to a disease that has more victims than tuberculosis and poliomyelitis combined we agree with dr bell that a period of edu cation and prevention is necessary to meet this spread oj chronic alcoholism we think m the interests of canada mew measures should be taken to curtail the sale of alcohol paper is strongly behind that policy but public officials receive the letter read it and can not talk- with the citizen on his problem or criticism the anonymous citizen is detrimental to the town because he may start the attack that dissuades the official from seeking office for an other term thus spoiling the towns chances for the best possible municipal government we will continue to print citizens letters when they sign their name and circumstances permit but for the anonymous citizen we have not time be prepared to uphold your criti cisms when you write to a town official and sign your name remember they are all human not the korean dispute it appears at this time that equalization of ccunty assessment under the soalled new sys tern is a big failure in halton county after five yevus of a county assessors appoint rhent the engagement of special assessors in the munici palities in the county and fulfilment of the man ual on the plan there is disagreement among the municipalities it was thought this new plan ould avoid the appeal court that proved so cosily in other years but already an appeal is developing last week the municipal boird heard argu men on the north halton high school assess nient no decision was given by the board ind gi orqelown and esquesing were asked to reach an tgretment tin buck pissing becomes greit ci arid the kgal entanglement more confused it ippoars quite frequently that all sense of fair- i ess his belii lost in the grab everything spent md horse tridnig in paying the fair shire to v lrd costs l iw tppeirs more preeminent thin lstice from our knowledge of the esquestng- georqltown dispute we feel the township is getting an unfair portion of the costs such has been the feeling of the high school board it ap pears and acton milton and nassagaweya are nrepared to meet their position under the pro posal of the assessors yet when the municipal board is called m to settle a dispute it s a no- decision affair and advice of go back and fight it out do we still need the courts in england to set tie our minor disputes have we no authorities in ontario free from politics who can hand out justice editorial notes everyone can contribute to keeping our town clean and tidy don t throw wrappers on the street you wouldn t be so disorderly in your cwn home more dominion census figures are bemg published these figures are not used however for municipal purposes but the figures compiled by assessors are used for these needs dominion figures are ony compiled every ten years we ii be glad to meet all our friends at the tree press exhibit it the fall fair this year we ve arranged to show a group of olej pictures of ac ton and some interesting items concetning your home paper the exhibit will be in the hall on fr day and saturday cd si there goes jackson falling down on the job again the good old days may have
