the acton fbef press acton ontario tinjrsday april 2nd iwi 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 world s still restless there is no peace nor in the foreseeable future can we hope to find the peace which christ hoped two thousand years ago would permeate me hearts of his people jesus faced the cross with a faith that made the symbol of defeat a symbol of triumph this is the faith that challenged a civilization in dis integration to build up a newer and finer civiliza tton 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 need 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 fhese ancient scourges says an eminent divine quite unlike our feverish fears and restless an xieties and short sighted plans is the calm ex pec tation the confident hope the courageous adven ture inspired by such a christian faith the remedy is sq simple ust intelligence and fidelity to the teachings of jesus nothing stands in 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 again towards the light that will lead the world from the dan gerous path rt is travelling that a long and lasting peace may again return to the world 1 th true spark of religious and ctml liberty be kindled it will

for annexation of properties and land we were pleased to note the cooperative spirit in which the matter was approached that acton s boundanes 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 adjustment was made a few years agp 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 start at the work but also for going about it in cooperation 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 m a cooperative spirit an equalized basis ot count assessment has brought about a change too and w th values the same in towns and adio rung townships d fferenc es in taes are not at such variance the steps have been taken and the matter w ii rece ve a tention now

time to conecjk yoirewter ffreetinos by sending yeur contribution to the easter seal fund pf crippled children 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 tn the financial post the article dealt in particular with the prefabricated houses that are coming on the market tn another popular magazine we came across the story of assembly line houset that were being constructed by a firm in the united states it was all very interesting but not as informa ttve 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 byy 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 io 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 mg 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 mpre builders to solve the present
