jpaojt two the acton free press acton ontario thursday march 2sth 1m local problems municipal councili have their problem in these days of growth to keep pace with the needi that seem so urgent and to keep the tax rate la balance with the desires of the ratepayers its small wonder that we find the calls on provincial and federal funds so general because the local field has only the avenue of real estate and pro perty upon which to levy tax while provincial end federal governments have seemingly endless places in which a tax may be collected acton is in a rather expensive period new services to care for a growing population have to be provided in due course the revenue will be returned to provide for these services but if our town it to retain its attractiveness for residents end industry the services and facilities must be evaitable first it is during this development stage that muni cipal problems loom large a high tax rate is not an inducement tcj attract folks to town and neither l a town attractive that does not have modern services schools good streets fire protection and the multitude of other things that your local tax dollar provides yes municipal bodies and those who serve have their problems and deserve your support and the benefit of your thinking in a co operative way to maintain acton s place in these days of rapid growth in apirt of canada trtat s develop ing perhaps the most rapidly of any part of the province gayest of year possibly no season of the yoar brings about so many changes as the springtime jusl around the corner is easter the first of the times that will dot the months all through summer and fall when there will be days of cessation from labor of course the spring clean up is uppermost in every woman s schedule and the preparations for gardens and outofdoor home surroundings will have to have a place for the longer days that come with spring and the change to daylight sav ing time formers of course start the busy time of seed time that lasts right over until harvest even the dogs should have spring brought to their attention with the enforcement of being tied up after a winter of roaming and garbage can sorting yes throwing off the drab dullness of winter and emerging into spring is a time of the year that is the most changing and gayesl of all the year north east wlt s outh these are the days when keeping off ihe prom letlt insure a finer inn n in latvr monffis this march is different to any march in a pood many yean in t hie of the fact that u r do not have to rrneu our radio lietrue and furn over s250 for all the people we are not sure what stage bill 71 has reach ed in the ontario legislature but we do hope sutv ficient disapproval is voiced so that members will realize that passage of the bill is not in the in terests of the public of ontario bill 71 is entitled an act to amend the edible oils products act of 1952 this bill could have a widespread effect on every grocery bill in the province and contains more than enough power to enable the government by order incouncil that is by cabinet decision to ban certain pro ducts in ontario with this broad legislation the frost cabinet if it chose could ban not only margarine but salad oil olive oil ordinary lard peanut butter and beef dripping in fact aatss margaret hynd t man who sucessfulty fought the margarine appeal right up to the privy council thought the act would leave the powers so broad as to be able to put a total prohibition on any edible oil except that derived from milk in addition it provides an exemption at the choice of the cabinet for any manufacturer or wholesaler from the ban the most dangerous part of such a bill is that n establishes laws favourable to one group of citizens if it is put into effect there is nothing to hinder other groups from seeking legislation favorable to themselves and possibly detrimental to other citizens of the province as a whole printers might seek legislation banning all mach ines and processes that were not printing presses and using standard type leather manufacturers might seek to have legislation prohibiting the use of any materials but leather made into footwear coal dealers might want to legislate against the use of anything but coal for heating purposes the opportunities for special groups is endless end once a precedent is set confusion could well result bill 7 has complications far too dangerous to become part of the laws of ontario we hope this backward trend will cease before the bill goes any further ontario should not be governed by large pressure groups but for the general wel fare of the people of the province as a oriole dtd you jenoir that the average ierl of food peters in the past thirteen years u up jjv and the average of industrial waget a up iii fix trhile milk prxaes are up out 5 jn 1939 it took the average canadian 14 minutes of work to earn enough to buy a quart of milk to day he can arn the fame quart fa only 9 minute indeed the at erase wfe-eanter- works jo minute for a quart of milk in the united states is minutes tn great britain 20 minutes in france and tn malenkov s russia the communist paradise no less than 52 minutes the more it grows most every session of tho ontario legislature sees more enabling measures passed favorable to the s of intoxicating liquors this session it is ploposecttctahow food to be served livbeyerogd rooms just what the need is not certain since intoxicating beverages can now be supplied in a number of eating places perhaps the argument will be made thai the plan will help to diminish canada s supply of food stuffs then again the argument may be put forth that the human car cass will only hold so much and if food is con turned there will be less space for beverages we doubt very much however if the brewers and distillers will put up any objection to the changes and it s gust possible they may have come about at their suggestion there isn t much doubt that any of the changes will reduce the consump tion of alcoholic beverages we haven t noticed any intimation that the government has taken into consideration the pro posai of the ontario temperance federation to start an educational campaign against the use of intoxicating beverages but we do see that our jails are becoming so full that fines are likely to teplace the ail sentences so that the population in our penal institutions may keep within our means of maintenance it seems such a silly way for securing revenue at the expense of degrading the citizens of the province florgeoua gorge there much talk nnd

1952 in other countries mostly he united states on goods brought back home that is about 42fa more than the year before ontarios countryside a drive through the countryside often reveals that our shortage of housing is not really a short age but partly a misplacement of available hous ing it appears that always the ma0nty of folks like to live in groupssome big and some small always there is the urge for companionship and close neighbors many farm homes are to be found without tenants when in similar buildings in cities and towns two and three families would find a stmi lar house quite adequate and willingly pay a high rental many farm homes it will be noted have been allowed to deteriorate and become inhabit able most of these houses will of course not be found on the main highways but they are quite accessible in these days when it is not considered neces sary to be located right close to your place of em ployment the surplus of vacant homes on farms might be considered a possibility for the folks who seek living quarters of course the families will have to attend the little red school house and there will be such services as waterworks sew ers garbage collection and fire protection and some other things lacking but electric lines are available in most of this section of the province and the farm homes are not without many of the conveniences that those in town
