pack two the acton free press acton ontario thursday november 27 1952 march forward in acton and the neighboring townships this year acclamations in municipal offices scorn to bo popular and therefore most of our municipal problems are cleared away well in advance of the holiday season while acclamations wero accord ed there was no lack of interest in evidence the town hall in acton saw one of the biggest crowds attending nominations in years this wasin spite of inclement weather and a very full program of other community activities on the same night it speaks well for our democratic way of life whon citizens take an interest in their own affairs true that interest may take ways of showing that do not commend themselves but such are the freedoms and individual liberties permitted in a democracy we like to hear too the words of appreciation that are mingled with the criticism for those who servo in a public way now the municipal offices are settled for another year it behooves all of us to work to gether fottfuf common good of the community in which we live and endeavor to improve as we pass along our way it is well to have times of accounting each year end but obviously all must work cooperatively if the greatest progress is to be made the man who originated the proverb that its better to give limn ro rcccitc was pro bably trvlno to extricate a christmas present from wrapping tape sunjhttic magazine old and new with all the controversy that has been had in this county for assessments for the past five or six years it wasntsurprising to pick up one of our exchanges from down near ottawa and find the leading editorial dealing with the first figures given under the new assessment there have been big increases and of course it would seem to follow there would be bigger taxes that is to be expected in every town that is showing growth we arent so enthusiastic as we were about the assessment that is gradually being made ef fective in halton we think it leaves many places for argument but we also realize that the old system was badly in need of revision our criti cism would be in the length of time required to make the change and in the cost of going over from the old to the new system it was hopod too that the new assessment would be satisfactory to all municipalities m the county however the fact is that the same legal procedure of appeals developed in halton that was experienced 30 years ago the matter is still before the court with the decision yet to come the world is dtrided into three groups rlie small fronp irho mnkrs ttiinos tinppin lite

going to market it was a cash crop of some farmer or land owner being distributed in an orderly way the day is gone we hope when folks will go out and help themselves to these cash crops which belong to someone else the cutting of young evergreen trees for sale at christmas time usually arouses a great deal of controversy criticism of this practice comes from those who feel that great wrong is committed each time a young tree is cut for this purpose an understanding of why this is done should show that such criticism is unfounded scotch pine is one species used extensively in reforestation work and has become very popular as a christmas tree this is a fast growing tree which bears seed prolifically and at an earmy ago the wood of this species is of low quality its best use then r as a christmas tree it grovs ver well on some of fhe poorer soils be nig reforested throughout the province if it will grow cm such aieas and provide a short term crop of christmas trees it is logical to do so 1 planted in stands jt six to eight foot spacing the trees develop a good overall form when christmas trees are cut from these stands it is recommended that a few of the poorer form trees be left to grow serving as seo trees which will restock the area mr abbott gets help few canadians disagree with mr abbotts uggostion that current tax rates are too high re plies to a financial post
