pag the acton free press acton ontario thursbay januajiy lotfc tatit need for urgency om of the advantages of having elections in early december is that the newly elected members may get into harness early in the new year that advantage has unfortunately been lost to a6on this year owing to the severe illrtest of the mayorelect thomas salmon if is one of those incidents over which there is no control by either the electors or the elected the nomination date has been set for next monday and if an election is necessary to fill the post it will be held on monday january 21st this means that the new mayor will actually hold office only part of the year the lapse of time is regrettable but apparently unavoidable under the circumstances we have heard the point dis cussed on the advisability of a smallor council however when the frailities of human beings are considered and the fact that members of council draw no allowances for their services the argument for a small group has little to com mend it council meeting of this week is partly a duplicate of what will have to be reenactod after a mayor has been chosen the years pro gram will have a months delay it is therefore imperative that the election be over as soon as possible and by that we do not suggest an ac clamation but we do urge that once the mayor is elected there be sessions as soon as possible and the program for 1952 started town business is not by any means at a standstill but there are many important items that require attention and one of these is the securing of industries which may be on the move there was much work done on this phase last year that will be lost unless speedy action can be secured from council and its industrial committee which is yet to get organized which group are you in personal

it struck us the other day that all industry is certainly not the type that locates in buildings agriculture is one of those industries that is extremely important to tiny municipality and although geography books always treat it as on industry we commonly for get it yes agriculture is an industry that is ust as complex as the kind that t mploys great machines and larqe groups of men the

to time there is often misunder standing of the functions of the press in relation to municipal councils wo are often criticized be cause we dont publish enough and just as often censored because we publish too much no newspaper minds such criticism as long as the issuo is kept free from personalities an article from the booklet the municipal council in ontario seems worth reprinting at the start of a new year in municipal affairs while it holds no official position in munici pal government the press plays an important and ueful pah in its operation it is largely through the columns of the newspaper that the citizens obtain their information with respect to what matters are being dealt with by their council and their disposition in this way the press serves as a connecting link between the council and its people and serves to protect the electors and tax payers by keeping councils under close scrutiny while the representatives of the press have no special rights they have the same right of at tendance at council meetings and access to pub lic records as other inhabitants of the munici pality although the representatives of the press may be excluded from committee meetings ex perience shows in the long run in most matters it is better to have the representatives of the newspapers get the correct story first hand than to get a garbled version of the proceedings by indirect means most newspapers can be relied upon not to publish information which it is clearly not in the public interest to have published in fairness to the representatives of the press however it should be membered that their business is to get news and not necessarily to print only what the council or a member of council wants to be published there is probably no other agency in a com munity that can do more to promote or obstruct good municipal government than the local press this quotation above is not our words but we subscribe to it in principle and have all down through the years of our newspaper work trophies for urtglamorous there are so many trophies given for sports these days and we often wonder if our incentive to excel could not be shared in more common place little things that provide benefits in other directions we are not belittling the need for oood competition in sports or the awarding of tiophies for excellence in playing games but what about the fellow who shovels his sidewalk promptly and well after each storm or the citizen who is best at paying his taxes promptly or the property owner who has the best kept property and surroundings truly these are commonplace and not spectacular and are not the centre of the public gaze they do how ever contribute to the appearance well being and comfort of many citizens you might say they are duties many of them are not fun and in fact snow shovelling is not advised for folks ever a certain age but if trophies are good to create a keen in terest in play they should have a like effect on the work of community betterment this winter would have been a good one for competition for the best cltared sidewalk in town that s just as important as a ski championship or a figure skating award in our canadian winters we are ust a little bit afraid that if all tht emphasis is placed on sporting awards the young folks of to day may think sports are all important and the t veryday tasks are unnecessary we may have something to offer for another t nit that will tn dtavot to stimulate cil ensh p con pt tit on editorial notes now bitk to routine ur d a ct e merch int d k l he wou d bt glad
