fuvqxtwo the acton free press acton ontario thursday november 20 1h2 a big date cbrlstmss may be ust around the comdr but municipal nomination time has passed the corner and is at hand in some of the townships in this county those important evonls havo been hold in acton tomorrow nifjht is nomination night its one night in tho yoar that every citizen of town should bo on hand at the town hall its not necossary that you take any activo part in tho event unlessyou so dosire it cannot be expectod- that evory cltizon will aspire to public office but cvoryono can and should take an interest in thoir own municipality and give one night in tho yoar at least for our town to recoive our whole atten tion municipal officials are chosen from among tho citizens to conduct their affairs for the coming year there are many important decisions that must be made inthe term of offico by evoryono who takes that responsibility thoro aro large funds to administer town changes and improve ments which must be considered it is the money of every taxpayer in acton that is used by these public officials to keep our town in the march of progress nomination night is a time for enquiry if you wish its a time for constructive criticism if you so desire and it is a time for showing appreciation if you are so inclined to those who have served you in the past yes its a time for looking back and a time for looking ahead in our municipality thats why we say nomination night tomorrow is important to every citizen of acton j hare a very deep faith that the earth was not created to be destroyed by the hand of man david e lidienthai the easy way it seems difficult to realize that christmas shopping time is at hand many of us can re call when we did all our christmas shopping in the week before christmas and a lot of it in the day before or even on christmas ove but christ mas buying was not so complex then and even santa claus was only in pictures and never ap peared as a real personality there were no lay- away clubs and a limited amount of money avail able for christmas extras but we didnt plan to write reminiscently about christmas shopping when we started this article we wanted to draw attention to the fact that the christmas stocks are going on display in tho stores in acton there are layaway clubs available in many of the stores and always theres the friendly local merchant who knows you and has a desire to help you solve your christmas shopping problems shopping in the home com munity has kept pace through the years and you will find the local stores well stocked if you would miss the big crowds and get the best values you can you get the best service by doing your christmas buying in your home town stores and starting right now a slipping pill leill nrifr take the place of aclcar conscience eddie cantor old but unchanged here is what daniel webster said away back in 1828 over 100 years ago and i is still true today there are persons who constantly clamor they complain of oppression speculation and per nicious influence of accumulated wealth tfiey cry out loud against all banks and corporations and all means by which small capital ists become united in order to produce important and beneficial results they carry on mad hostility against all established institutions they would choke tho fountain of industry and dry all streams in a country of unbounded liberty they clamor against oppression in a country of perfect equality they would move heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly in i country where property is more evenly div ided lhan any where else they rend the air shouting agrarian doctrines in a country where wages of labor are high beyond parallel they would teach the laborer he is but an oppressed slave sir what can such men want what do they mean they want nothing sir but to eiioy the fruits of another mans labor the electors are expecting if tho next dominion budget doesnt provide for decreased taxation there aro

little more of their pay envelopes to ad minister themselves there is some difficulty in giving them assurance that governments can do a better job of distribution than they can them selves it may mean that some of the services main tained by governments will have to be altered it might be that some of the subsidies hande to various groups will have to be curtailed and that prices will find their own level without govern ment assistance or supervision not knowing how much manipulation of this kind is done the ave rage man is not prepared to offer solutions but there seems to be public

increase will be required from the consumer when the tremendous development under taken by hydro is taken into consideration and the costly changeover of cycle in a large portion of ontario is viewed an increase in power costs would seem inevitable last week we received the annual report of the hydro commission of on- tario we havent been through all its pages of figures but a quick run down the column which ciivesthfe average cost per kilowatt hour to the municipalities of less than 2000 is in some cases less than one cent and in most cases less than two cents if you think your electnc power is too much just quote those figures to some friends across the border increased costs are neer popular to anyone and so are no exception but we do think the hydro announcement should be taken

the new register unselected bull progeny records of 1421 bulls are included and 12186 register of merit females are grouped under prefix of the breeder while the owner at the same time of the re cord is also indicated the introduction to the book draws attention to the pi tf ills which may arise from concentrat ing on paper records and ignor ing such factor- as varying man agement standards and conforma tion which can only be assessed by a study of the animals themselves noting that the herd book contains some 60000 entries and is increasing it a rate of 10 per cent each year the society remarks that clearly there are problems lo be faced in the future if publication of the herd book is to continue in full itmaybe thilitvilhbeposrtble to continue publication of the herd book in full by more frequent issues of the various volumes but from the breeding and improve ment point of view there is no doubt that the book of the future will be the production regimor or elite herd book
