pack two the acton free press acton ontario ta thursday junk 10th i you never know this is one of those weeks that starts off schedule our editorial comments must be written early because on monday and tuesday your odl- tor will be with a party of halton county farmers whoare making a tour of western ontario farms weve been on many nowspaper conventions and talked shop for days but when our friend agri cultural representative j e whitolock told us thore was an opening to talk and see shop with many of our good friends in the farming com munities of halton wo just couldnt resist the change and the delight of a trip through ontario in june impressions of the trip may appear in another story in this issue because no newspaper man can resist a story but the part we anticipate most is the opportunity to associate for two days with some of our friends who have chosen farming asd n vocation i ait wppk wo had hreakfasl in a tn ronto hotel with 36 editors of weekly newspapers from various states of the united states we could talk shop on publishing and printing wo of course found the visiting although brief very stimulating the folks we are with this week have interests with which we are not as familiar as we should be but they are neighbours and friends if the weather is fine we know we are going to enjoy this outing and acquire an under- standing that will be helpful to our community outlook in this fine agricultural county of halton if we make the trip well and the duties per mit we may be off the end of the week to a news paper gathering in northern ontario where on tario and quebec editors are going to talk shop for three days newspaper work has many sur prises in covering the local field its so unpre dictable that its always interesting try being silly assessment of property for tax purposes is a popular topic of conversation these days both from a municipal and equalized county basis a new and novel idea in assessment appeared recently in the st marys journalargus which we pass on particularly to those who are beefing about their own assessrnent- sounds silly but it is a pet theory of a few local peopfe who have often pondered the intri cacies and problems of taxation the idea is to kick out completely the present stem of assessing land and property each owner sets his own assessment at whatever fgure b values his property if someone wants to buv it at that price the owner is given a period cf grace to recensder and place a higher assessed alue on it which will hold for the remainder of tfat ear otherwise he must sell the nce we cens der it we think that that f r seence n he quod on is correct we can- t c arh rg a oud add more to the ccvcs c- ct c- a- h s suggestion but if z c asesse s rot ccrrect it m ght te w f c z iv c o

that thinking which held that 65 was a good age for retirement a quartor century later and with iho mark a decado away wo find agreement with those who contend that no nation not even ono as rich as canada could affdrd cither financially or physically to have such a largo proportion of its mature population doing nothing there would not bo enough younger people left to produce the goods services and food the nation would need modern civilization has addod years of health and strength to our lives modern industry is go ing to have to recognizethat fact we dont know the editor of the wolfville ns acadian but wo find that ho too has some thing on the subject with which we agree to give all old people a comfortable pension con- tobulor o othe w the back ot the canadian economy it would also shorten many lives every doctor can speak of the killing effect of retired idleness it would also constitute a huge wasto of potential production work for the majority who are able to work and suitable pensions for those unable is the only practical answer to the problem maybe the next ten years will alter our think ing again but we like to put in a word for the many men and women whose usefulness to so ciety is pot dimmed by years alone and whoso ex perience can be beneficial to the nation as a whole some folks are old at 50 and many others past the four score are better able to cope with lite than the ones 30 years younger years do not count as much as health and physical and mental condition of the man or woman who would want a policy against tbe possibility of his house

that stores in buffalo still exhbit signs canadian money ac cepted at par wait until they grow up it seems that when towns reach a population of over 5000 they develop a self sufficient com plex that becomes aggravated until the city re quirements are reached we have pans wanting to separate from the county as well as some of the towns of our own county putting out the same feelers of course the argument used is the same always- the amount paid in the county rate and particularly on county roads every growing community is beset with the same problems there is the need for more pub lic services for ar added population and the only avenue to provide these is the distasteful higher municipal tax rate one item that may seem easy to lop off without too much local opposition is the county rate its easy to attack the county rate because not too many ratepayers know what is provided in county services if time were taken to study these services it would be found that per haps the community considering withdrawal from the county would not profit much by the move in halton the county levy includes many ser vices such as the health unit administration of lsttce halton centennial manor half the cost of indigent patients and many more items winch a c ireful summary would bring to light it might fe eli if county councils or officials would pro vide a list lo enlighten the electorate of course there is the county road expenditure which comes in for censure but the amount collected from the individual is infinitesimal as compared with the taxes levied at provincial and federal government levels on tho motorists most every motorist pays 500 and upwards on the purchase of a new car in invisible taxes and an annual license fee and 10c a gallon on every gallon of gasoline it would be interesting to know just what small sum the overage motorist contributes to the county road 5 y stem j the attempt of hespeler to secede from the county last year failed the ontario government acted wisely no community wants a high tax rate its not an inducement to industry or new home owners but the way is not in separation from the county until the city status of population is acquired its an adult step and not one for teenagers towns need to really grow up before withdrawing from the county fold north e ast west s outh iox llultonls a 1lmw prtviliiit in
