paoc two the acton free press acton ontario nothing for nothing that wo seldom got anything for nothing is being brought into the spotlight in municipalities across canada al this season particularly in small towns which havo had a necessary burst of pro- qress is this fact emphasized it is the duly of trie council as elected representatives to estab ilsh the rhill rate this involves estimating the expenses for the year in order to collect the necessary amount of taxes from the ratepayers in the municipality in the life of a municipality there are many expenditures incurred which take a long time to pay off municipalities ell over ontario are be ing faced with payment for expensive yet pro gressive additions to the town sewerage sys- temt are necessary in many towns now because crowded down town sections lack drainage and house lots are small limiting drainage area to that already used resurfacing of roads and general improve ments teem to appear on the municipal scene in cycles following the major expenditures there is a necessary seige of economy while the rate payers are given a chance to catch up on the capital expenditures the tax rate in most of the smaller centres will undoubtedly be higher this year that is just another one of those expenditures that will be on the increase as long as people want improve ments and advantages in the town we heard of one municipality where some of the citizens felt it would be fair to have the pay ments for improvements spread over more than ihe customary 20 years so the younger genera tion could contribute to the benefits its a good thing the pioneers didnt think of that or we might still be clearing land fringe at the outset of this development of big industry it means that smaller industries aro likely to bo attracted hero and we are not likely to lose in a hurry that charm and nolghborliness of a smaller town which are bound to come with the influx of a larger industry we know that many folks al the lakeshoro are wondering what the change will moan in their way of life which will result from the impact of ihe bigaulo- motivo plant being established in the southern part of haltton the big airplane establishment in peel has created a problem that is overflowing beyond the borders of malton and causing near by brampton some problems acton will no doubt share in the industrial expansion that is coming to the south of halton in a big way every town welcomes industrial growth and this town is no exception to the general rule we hope the expansion is of such 9 nature that it can be absorbed readily the ten dency today is toward ihe establishment of smaller communities which havo their own shop ping centres and are easily accessible and afford plonty of parking space for workers such de velopment can readily be absorbed here and smaller community life enjoyed up to a popula tion of 7000 or so no town can long remain on the fringe community facilities are required by all resi dents to maintain these requirements they must have the industrial growth and the taxes derived therefrom to provide for the residential section home owners cannot alone bear the burden of municipal expansion without the assistance of in dustry we are on the fringe for the present but it cannot be for long it isnt a right when we havo enjoyed a privilege for some time there is a tendency to accept it as a right that is often the case when we think of driving an automobile truck or other vehicle in a recent circular from the department of highways it re ports that more than 16000 drivers lost the privilege of driving because they violated laws designed to protect citizens if you are convicted of reckless or dangerous driving drunk driving failing to remain at the scene of an accident motor manslaughter or criminal negligence driving while ability is im paired by alcohol any offence under the high way traffic act arising out of a motor vehicle accident any offence under the highway traffic act if the magistrate orders suspension of your drivers licence and or vehicle permit or if you fail to satisfy a judgment recovered against you for damages arising out of a motor vehicle ac cident your drivers license and motor vehicle permit may be suspended driving is a privilege and if you are careless enough to have your driving license suspended it may remain suspended for the period set by the magistrate n whether your license is ever suspended or whether you are ever in any kind of trouble it s always wise to practice the same common cour- 1esy on the road as you would on the street dimming your high lights before you approach another car too closely is only sensible night driving can be a pleasure or a plague depending en how many cars one meets with high lights accidents don t always happen because you are to blame the other fellow can endanger our life as much as anyone and you have to be careful ot what he does as well as what you do thursday february tth 19sz when you

section to nia ton sequent i not only impof larile iv antages ot iptari tourif strange procedure an article in the chesley enterprise gives some interesting information on rules governing the appointment of a county warden and per haps the system adhered to in huron county is the most unusual in huron it appears the ap pointment is governed by politics it is not ac cording to length of service or the turn of the municipality as in halton a conservative repre sentative is warden one year and a liberal the next it even extends to the appointment of com mittee chairmen but huron county is like the rest of ontario it is predominantly conservative these days and the result is that there are not enough grits in county council to go around of the 12 new members elected this year nine are lories and only three liberals the standing of the parties in the county council is 22 conserva tives and 9 liberals the result as the chairman of the striking committee complained is that there are not enough liberals to go around one member recalled that when he entered tlll huron county councrl nine years ago the situa tion was reversed then there were only nine conservatives the discussion brought forth views that poli tics ought to be forgotten in naming committees tnd their chairmen although the feeling was that it should be retained in naming the warden some said experienced men had to bo left off committees because they were conservative and inexperienced men had to be named as chairmen because they were liberals and the efhees had to be equatty divided we like our system in halton best where ex perience of the man and the turn of the muni cipality are the guiding features in choosing a warden we do not see wjiy politics should enter into either county or municipal mat tecs ihe two have no relationship that can be bene heal next dance please this lady dressed in red isnt so good at dancinc or at conversa tion shes all set to go to a dance in
