pact two the acton free pbess acton ontario thursday april 24th ibs an unwanted surplus in view of the fact hat permission will be soughf to open a salvage yard in the centre of acton the views of mayor lamport and officials of toronto recently expressed are rather interest ing thejmayor of toronto is quoted as saying toronto 4gettlng saturated with salvage yards and judge barton said they can go to the sub urbs the result of the toronto meeting was that applications for junj yard sites wore held up by the board in toronto nrkerestetkorrlrrlhlsoractorrwhereeoun cil was questioned regarding a location at mill and main streotslast week once those salvago yards or other nuisancos aro established in a dis trict there is difficulty and hardship in having them removed its much easier to keep them out in the first place and since the collection of sal vage is important it would seem wise to ccrnfine such yards to places far removed from builtup sections whore they can become a nuisance true we have byiaws here regulating such establishments but experience has proven that bylaws are sometimes difficult to enforce its just a bit interestingto note that the ap plicant for a salvage yard in acton used in the presentation of his case a letter from mayor lam port of toronto it may be just acoincidence but most citizens of acton we think will not con sider this towns boundaries os the proper sub urbs for torontos surplus junk yards lets be fair wo cannot agree with the statement of the georgetown herald that decision of esquesing council to oppose any high school building pro gram at the prosont time has completely tied the hands of the north halton high school board this article is boing written on monday while a mooting is scheduled to be held in stewarttown on wodnesday with school board and township representatives which will in all probability be roported in the news columns of this issue but we do feel the facts should be put clearly to the public in the first place the motions passed by es quesing council did not oppose any high school building program they clearly stated that es quesing council would consider a modified pro gram and they- did suggest building a school at acton we frankly admit we are disappointed with the decision not to accept the whole pro gram but we must be fair and view and comment on the news as it happens and not on our wishes we quoted the motions of esquesing council in our last weeks issue of the free press and not an interpretation of them over five years ago when halton county adopted a plan of county equalization we hoped it would do an equalization job in a reasonable time without expensive court costs there is evidence on every side the job hasnt been done very satisfactorily to date esquosing and we believe nassagaweya too have justification in not being in accord with the assessment on the amount they are called upon to pay into the high school district true the amount has been set by the municipal board for- n five year period its just possible that the townships wil refuse a building program until that legal term of assessment figures has elapsed its regrettable for the sake of secondary educa tion in north rjalion if such is the case we are hopeful a compromise can be made the onus for the delay cannot all be placed on the townships georgetown has benefitted greatly and would in the building program from the ruling of the municipal board five year settle ment that town sought in every way to raise such a ruling and in so doing georgetown must shoulder most of the responsibility for delay of the building program in that attitude of that town lies the whole crux of the situation it is rather interesting to note that both acton and milton cin find agreement with the townships on the sharing of costs we do not want to rehearse events in the north halton district high school over the past five years our files are bulging and most of the evidence points to i very uncooperative tendency on the part of georgetown since the formation of the distict that town was the last one to join the district and the firs to grasp the opportunity for a new school in georgetown we firmly lielieve if more understanding were shown in tho attitude of georgetown and a willingness to contribute equally as well as receive the situation can bo clarified we dont like the attitude howover of placing the blame on the townsnips by the news paper of a town which hampered the program so much in north halton it is to bo hoped george town willshow more cooperation with the town ships and tho plan of the district board can ro- coivo endorsation jeceptanjeorget- this wookend folks face tho annual adjust ment of time its daylight saving time for next week in most of tho things in this district except the railways its taken a lot of argumont and tolerance over many years to reach the present degree of uniformity on time most of us can recall when various parts and functions of the town were run on two sets of time for brief periods then followed various dates at which daylight saving time was adopted some of us get pretty set in our ways and not all ofus relish changes but next week the district will fairly uniform ly go on daylight saving time the best way to avoid inconvenience and confusion is to adopt it at the time specified in the proclamation and for get all about it just remember that the railways are still set- in their ways and mail times will be different and your worries willbe over its a trend that seems to have come to stay so day light saving might as well be accepted spring and fire in the spring thoughts turn to more than love and fishing and baseball or outdoor sports folks get the urge to clean up the debris that has ac cumulated during the winter so often the most efficient method seems to be in burning the rub bish we all know that grass fires remove the old dead grass and make way for fresh green growth the trouble with the fire method of disposal is the lack of control once a fire is started out- ofdoors no one is ust sure where it is goingto end changing breezes may carry the flames in the wrong direction and valuable things which we do not want destroyed by fire are caught in the path if you start a fire at this time of year in your rpring cleanup progom make sure you have the means at hand to control the blaze in the area in which you intend to hold it keep rubbish fires well away from buildings and a pail of water kept handy will do more to control the blaze than one for which you have to run some distance yes we have fire fighting equipment which can and does control fires when caught in the early stages but care by individuals is the best fire prevention obtainable its spring and it is wise to keep your thoughts turned to fire pre- vention every day editorial notes remember last year at this time how rough a ride you had when you went along our main st what a difference a short period of time can makend some effort and expense with may 24th coming this year on a satur day there wont be much argument about its ob servance in industry but dominion day on a tuesday will
