page two the acton free press acton ontario tiiu1ihday keitemi1ek 21 1082 after the fair is over before the ground wore cleared and before all the oqulpmont waj put way for anothor yoar those who guide acton fair ware comparing notes and making plans for the fair of 1953 the successes and uailuresof this year will be used to formulate the program for next year so it has been throughout the life of the fair and so it is that the fall fair looms as the big community event of the year it is a case of accumulation of feature oh feature and a continuous effort over the years as long as town and country continue to work together and as long as citizens present and past of thedlstrict find a common meeting place at the annual fair it will continue to grow and succeed the years have proven that acton and district can arrange and hold a fair that keeps a place with the best the success of the past can however not bo a reason for complacency in his remarks at the opening of the fair mr j a carroll who is the man in ontario who knows fall fairs best offered many commonts that may well be considered along with the congratulations by all of us who have the success of acton fair at heart mr car- l roll pointed out it took the continued good will and the work of everyone in the community to maintain success congratulations are in order to officers and directors of the acton fair for the success of the 1952 event the weather was good and everyone enioyed the event working together the 1953 fair can go on to new heights protection in union negotiations these days we hear a great deal about the checkoff this is an agree ment under which the employer deducts union dues from the wages of all his workers and then turns these deductions over to union officials a contract that includes provision for union shop and checkoff severely limits the employers right to hire the men he wants it makes him solely responsible for the maintenance of the union membership and keeping them all in good standing with their union it makes the union officials rather independent of their members and it deprives the workers at the same time of any and all control over the union of which they are a part but the general public does not seem aware that the best check off agreement we have in the province is with the teachers federation there are government regulations in connection with the department of education that require that all teachers shall be members of the teachers fede ration and that all school secretaries shall deduct from the wage cheques of all the teachers a per centage of dues for remittance to the ontario teachers federation you ii find these regulations in an act called the teaching profession act section 4 says every teacher shall be a mem ber of the federation except and the exceptions are for those who have withdrawn from mem- bersnip or those who are serving with the forces section 4 also states every student in a nor mal school or in the ontario college of education shall be an associate member of the federation section 1 1 of the act says the prescribed membership fee shall be deducted by the board of trustees from the salary of each teacher for the month of november or for the first month there after in which the teacher begins a term of em ployment and shall be forwarded to the treasurer of the federation we have no comment to make but we think it well that the public should know all about the check offs and other laws that are in effect these days and their application to your costs the federation is the only check off system which we i now of that is incorporated in the provincial rtatutes there may be others and if so we will stand corrected this suggestion comes from the high river times alberta theoretically the perfect tax would be a tax on inaction the proper man to tax would be the loafer not the worker idle land not used land inactive capital not active qapital lack of enterprise not enterprise such a tax would not be practical but it would be more ust imppi rtant things or places 6no of the things we heard montlonod quite frequently at tho recent convention of editors of woekly newspapers was the makeup of the hems hoard on nolghborly nows radio programs on sunday mornings it toomed difficult for most editors to undorstand why so many important things happening in tho towns and villages of ontario were overlooked and the trivial little items of big pigs and twin calves and multiple births of shoop etc got all tho attention wo have wondered too and then wo care fully listened to tho opening announcement on the program which informed the radio listeners that those wore the human interest things in those important places in ontario which lis out side the cities that classified it all it was the places that were important and not the things on tho radio program wo wondor howovor how many interiors aro not likewise confused with tho over importance attached to those little human intorost itoms and think that those things are tho important items of tho towns and villages there is of course only one way to get the right news on tho important things that happen ouslde the cities and that is jhrough perusal of tho local paper of that m- munity where first things tako first place in tho news and got the headlines the human interest hings are t6 bo found there too scatterod all over the various pages but not oflen in the biq gest headlines perhaps a surprising fact perhaps you will be surprised as we wore when we read the statement that tho cost of liv ing downward trend was achieved at the oxpense of the farmer dbs reports that farm food in dex the price the farmer gets for the food he sells has fallen 45 points in the last 12 months in july 1951 it stood at 308 2 by july 1952 it had fallen to 2634 wages meanwhile have risen steadily on july i 1951 weekly wages and salaries averag ed 50 17 on july 1 1952 they averaged j 53 90 thus while the price of food dropped 15 per cent the price of labor rose 8 per cent this of course may or may not prove any thing but perhaps it will help straighten out the record on the high cost of living and the farmer will not be getting the blame which has so often occurred when beef pork milk bread and simi lar products have advanced in price it s only fair to draw attention to these facts occasionally when we hear so much of the struggles of others to in crease that which they get and put the blame on some other group for the prices they haye to pay to long mr shjcklev im all sit to go on vacation tomorrow iw y nobth i south nitmliii dont be ahead we ii all get quite a realization that summer is on the wane or has waned when we turn the clocks back an hour on sunday and revert to standard time the evenings which have been getting perceptrbly shorter will get a real olt and it will be found there is little opportunity for out- ofdoor work that requires daylight after thesttp th 1 per hour these changes were for many years htinnse the clisic quite confusing but lately in these parts the uni formity has crept in on most everything except the railroad schedules and there is little confusion vhen the changes are made between daylight and standard time well we ii get our morning mail earlier next week it will be quite bright when we get up in the morning and the hour we lost last april will be returned this week end the important thing is to make the change in uniformity so next sunday or on saturday night preferably be sure to turn your clocks and watch back an hour so you won t be ahead of
