the acton free press acton ontario thursday april ind i easter as easter comes again we find the world still busy beating its plougshares into guns tanks air planes and other weapons of war eight years after world war ii the worlds still restless there ts no peace nor in the foreseeable future can we hope to find the peace which chnsljioped two thousand years ago would permeate the hearts of his people jesus faced the cross with a faith that made the symbol of defeat a symbol if triumph this is the faith that challenged a civilization in dis integration to build up a newer and finer civiliza lion and to make that faith dominant emerging from the new day which dawned with the resur rection of our lord men through faith became aware of forces working towards the creation of a better world a deeper instinct to spiritual needs and a newer conception of their relationship to god and to their fellow men this is the faith which challenges the world today the faith that we can do away with war and poverty and disease must take possession of us before we can move into a world set free from these ancient scourges says an eminent divine quite unlike our feverish fears and restless an xieties and short sighted plans ts the calm ex pec tation the confident hope the courageous adven piphyweke-htsjatfcu- the remedy is so simple ust intelligence and fidelity to the teachings of jesus nothing stands tn the way except the obstacles we have either put in the way or permitted to remain there few of us appreciate the possible splendor of the human life at its best and few of us seem to be lieve that the best is within the reach of the ordinary at this eastertide let us rededicate ourselves to the cause of christ let us turn jain toward the light that will lead the world from the dan gerous path it is travelling that a long and lasting peace may again return to the world if tht true spark of reliyvoiu and cxvil tibertv be mndled il will bum humon agency cannot extinguish it like the earths central fire it may be mothered for a time the ocean mow overwhelm it moun tarns may press it down but iti inherent ond unconquerable force will heave both the ocean and the land and at some time or other in some place or other the volcano irtll break out and flame up to heaven in cjose cooperation in reading the proceedings of acton council s plan for annexation of properties and land we were pleased to note the cooperative spirit in which the matter was approached that acton s boundaries are badly defined has no argument and few citizens realize the exact location of town boundaries or where the town ends and the town ship begins the need for straightening of these lines has been evident for many years the first effort at any readjustment and correction was made over 35 years ago a partial adustment was made a few years ago we have watched the problem present itself down through the years at many council meet ings most councils agreed the boundaries should be straightened but hesitated to tackle the ob the present council is therefore to be commend ed not only for making a tart at the work but also for going about it in cooperatton with many of the owners who will be affected by the change reading between the lines of the industrial committees report to council it is quite evident that many of the owners of properties have been consulted before the final steps have been taken much can be accomplished when such matters are quietly discussed in a cooperative spirit an equalized bass of county assessment has brought about a change too and w th values the same m towns and adoimng townsh ps d fferenc es in txes are not at such var ance the steps have been taken and the matter w ii receive at rention now of the mun c pal board for dec s on a nation mourns on tuesday of this week the last final tributes were paid and dowager queen mary was laid to rest at the age of 85 years she was grandmother of the young queen whose coronation will take place in a few months a great nation mourns her passing and cherishes the memory of a queen whose example to her people will always be an inspiration with a maestic manner and bearing personi fying the gracious surety and stability of the british monarchy of her era she lived to see the close of five reigns when queen victoria died in 1901 she was the duchess of york nine years later as the princess of wales she attended the funeral of king edward vii her husband george v was removed from the thrdfie by death in 1936 and less than a year later her eldest son edward viii now duke of windsor abdicated be fore a squall of constitutional controversy her second son george vi died february 6 1952 and was succeeded by her granddaughter queen elizabeth ii a family mourns the passing of a beloved mother and grandmother and millions in britain and the commonwealth mourn the passing of a woman who was an example of integrity stead fastness and kindly sympathy there is still time to eonuev your easter greetings by tending your contribution to the easier seal fund for crippled children north e ast west s outh planners and builders in view of the fact that so much new housing is needed in acton to meet present needs we read with much interest a special article this week in the financial post the article dealt in particular with the prefabricated houses that are coming on the market in another popular magazine we came across the story of assembly line houses that were being constructed by a firm in the united states it was all very interesting but not as informa five as we would want if we were searching for living quarters the items were like many other articles on the market today they failed to give the whole story particularly the whole cost most folks when they buy a commodity want to know the complete cost so that they may decide if it fits into their budget for instance one firm has a lot of designs and shapes that run in price from 3 161 to 4 654 that looks real attractive to the couple seeking a home but to these prices must be added the cost of the lot the basement plumbing heating masonry plaster materials wiring and storm win dows and doors if desired a short time ago we added these items on as estimated and the price was no longer attractive when the sum total of a home was estimated there seems to be no end of plans for build ing homes but in some place along the line they become very confusing to the prospective home owner in the meantime the housing shortage becomes more acute and it appears that we need fewer planners and more builders to solve the present housing shortage a student of human nature says he notices the middle class consists of those irho man age to live in public hjce the rich do and

north of halton and the south last saturday night for instance there was rain failing throughout the county and milton streets were wet and muddy right at the mountain however snow began to appear suddenly along the sides of the road and there was quite a covering of snow in acton likely this difference in weather accounts for the fact that oakville residents are a bit ahead of tht more
