acton needs acton ha had boards of trade chambers of commerce and many such organizations down through the years for a time they seem to flourish and do a good ob of community service but always they seem to wither and die after a few years of activity we have heard of various reasons for the folding up and the post modems are of no consequence in these present days of expansion on every tide the need for business men banding together tp keep acton abreast of the times is great in some respects acton is on the fringe of industrial guidance the industrial commission of hamilton takes in the section as far north as milton and the industrial commission of toronto cbmes as far north west as brampton any industrial growth that is to come to acton wilt require the initiation and effort of citizens of acton and district there is no discounting the need for the in dividual effort of every citizen and we could name many who have made outstanding con tnbutions councils have been aggressive and successful in our industrial and municipal growth banding together in a chamber of commerce will give greater strength to our individual efforts there are many ways in which business men of acton can make the town a better place to live snltt needed a chamber of commerce and canbenefil9 accommodation for200 pupils in acton 270 in milfon and 260 in georgetown each of the schools can readily be enlarged to provide for double this enrolment when the time comes for such a step preattyby having an affiliation with other such groups across canada noctn e ast wist h- double attendance foreseen those who may think the present expansion of high schools unnecessary may well consider that the official estimate of high school attend ance is that the next 12 years will see thd enrol ment doubled from its present figure our school population says the financial post is growing at a much faster rate than our total population and for quite a few years at least it will keep on growing fast regardless of almost any other factor because of the present and recent high birth rate most of the youngsters who will be entering high school 12 years from now are already here we might as well make up our minds that we are going to have to provide schools end teachers for a lot more students in the next dozen years and this service is going to cost a great deal of money it is well to provide for this increased attend snce over a period of years residents of the north halton district will be pleased to learn that the present expansion being made in the schools at acton milton and georgetown is being made with an eye to the future the preliminary sketch es provide for additions at all three schools when they are required it is well to spread the load over a period and this is being does in

sympathetic under standing as uell at criticism cow jumped over the moon a statement by h h hannam president of the c f a regarding the cow and the auto has been receiving considerable attention he it credited with saying that from the point of view of national policy we treat our automobile better than the dairy cow the speaker gives a good case for the cow and her efficiency and the pay and labor of farmers and those who work in the in dustry and a comparison with the automotive in dustry we are quite in agreement with the argument and we are all in favor of the rights and efficiency of the cow we often wonder if this very efficient farm animal had not had so much interference from man man made organizations and govern ment regulations if the industry would not be better off we well remember the fine dairy but ter that we used to enoy and which is no longer available we do know that the percentage of butter fat and the grades of milk offered to con sumers is much more confusing now than in the days when there were no government regula tions advertisements tell housewives of powder ed condensed milks and a multitude of recipes for its use we hear of one group saying there is a butter shortage and another group denying the statement the poor cow and those who feed and care for her are still efficient but how the pub lie is confused with deliveries and distribution of the dairy industry products small wonder that substitutes creep in and aie accepted so few people are acquainted with the efficient dairy cow which is described by mr hannam as the best and oldest forage
