mob two the acton free press acton ontario thursday october 4th 1b6i let us give thanks thanksgiving day of 1951 comes vyith abun dant cause for giving hanks true world condi tions may bo unsettled but that is our own fault a great harvost has been largely gathered in nature has given of her boupty amply repaying the wfforts of man in producing enough for all the storage bins of this groat country are full as winter draws close and evory day wo learn of the discovery of now natural resourcos that can only point of a great fujure for canada and canadians a quotation of henry ward bocchers given many years ago scorns as appropriate on this day as it was in the day many years ago when it was given if one should givo me a dish of sand and tell mo there wore particles of iron in it i might look for them with my eyes and search for them with my clumsy fingers and be unable to detect them but let mo take a magnot and swoop through it and how would it draw to it self the most invisible particles by the mero power of attraction the unthankful heart like my finger in tho sand discovers no mercies but let tho thankful heart swoop through the day and as the magnet finds the iron so it will find in every hour some heavenly blessings only the iron in gods sand is gold continuedefayr every date for the use of the sewage disposal plant operation in acton has fallen down and after a trip to the plant this week we doubt very much if the plant will be in operation this year we have no fault to find with council because we do know the effort they have exerted to have the work finished but wo do feel that there is quite some laxity on the part of the engineering department for the delay upon delay surely the feos on the proiect are sufficient to guarantee some speeding up of completion and a fulfilment of dates once in awhile mid september was the last date promised and pro lific promises were made prior to this the con struction worlras practically finished but from the looks of material uncraled and about the pre mises equipment installation is travelling at a snails pace i the whole situation is certainly embarrassing to town officials but seems of little concern to those who are being paid for a completed ob we will be only too glad to publish any explana tion the engineer cares to make regarding the oelay but we would much prefer to see definite completion rather than promises or excuses for a ob that has been nearly two years in the mak- ing we think the engineer in charge has a duty to the citizens of acton and something close to the rosy picturepresented when actonians voted approval of the work abolish homework let s abolish homework says sidney katz o social worker and magazine writer in a current article in macleans magazine that s something we can t help agreeing with not because we have interviewed hundreds or studied the social complexities ot the subect but simply because we were once a student ourselves plagued by thethoughts of a nightly session with books and subects we didn t appreciate from all his surveying katz says there is evidence that homework sours pupils on learn ing for the rest of their lives creates unnecessary work and worry for parents and robs pupils of wholesome recreational and social life during heir most formative years again we can t help agreeing with the writer it s a well known fact that you can t do two things at once that is dimply you can t go to club meetings and accom plish tlie homework assignments perhaps club meetings aren t important but it tems thut children and youths can accomplish much in learning the intncicies of orcjjtn it ion dlish h ipp accomplishments of working to and tho gother emiv person wlio qot s to bchool is erlinl not a sli dint somi eiiov pouring oer books while olheis ol test it surtly it isn i too soon to st irt the children on the kit i of ilk nq the r work i nojqh to wotk evtii hours at it few ptople are reall happy enouqh in their work to study it and put in extra hours vist amounts of money are spent on aptitude tests and vocational guid tnce in attempting to fit poo pie to a ob in which they will be happy yet in our schools where we feel that education is the prime requisite we forget that children should like to go to school and should like it so well that extra hours of work are added to the regular chool day voluntarily if a student likes school well enough to do extra work fine but we think as does the maga line writer that fiours of homework every night in the week rob the pupil of those things that help him mature and develop a broader happier outlook on things in general newspaper week this week of october 1st to 8th is sot esldo as national newspaper wook what is it just anothor wook no it is

right of canadas- people being ablo to worship god as thoy wish to criticize their govornmont if thoy wish and with a limitod number of controls operate their business as thoy wish is somothing wo must cherish 11 is tho duty of evory editor and accoptod as a duty to purvey the news without bias it is tho privilego of tho reador to read tho nowspapors undorstand analyze and tntorprot tho news by reading tn our nowspapors of tho actions of groups and individuals and tho reactions of others we can make up our mind as to the course we bclicvo in and thus wo judge tho ac ceptable from tho unacceptable this is vitally important and is no doubt the outstanding in fluence in keeping our democracy alive yes a newspaper is not published for the funnies it is published in an honest effort to tell the reader all sometimes the facts are gory sometimes they are scintillating sometimes they are sad but honest editorship commands the itttllr timl- r m- i an opportunity reform institutions minister footes state ment that lack of money is holding back research which has as its purpose a certain cure for alco holism shofuld not cause any groat perplexity as to a sourcexjf such money it would seem only lustice that the liquor interests who mako such laige fortunes from the cause of alcoholism would advance the necessary money to make such cures possible we would not suggest further taxation on alcohol in its many forms such a plan would of course immediately bring forth a chorus of in- digant protest of being partial to the higher in come groups rather one could almost expect that the breweries and distilleries would volun tarily donate great sums for tho purpose they show an amazing interest in conservation of wild life rather than mankind they demonstrate ti uly surprising concern over highway traffic after throwing onto the market what is generally conceded the main cause of highway unsafety they are very philanthropic in a number of other ways here is offered a means of partially un doing the harm they do but of course there is always the danger of lower sales and lower profit if the public are kept fully informed of the great harm that in toxicating liquor does and other forms of adver tising are more diverting and tend to mako the liquor manufacturers and brewers appear to be qood fellows advertising after all to be effective must be tiuthful and its difficult to be truthful of any qood that intoxicating beverages may be work ing tor people its very doubtful if the liquor interests will contribute to anything which will attempt to
