the acton free press acton ontario thursday april xhh ims off again on againl it would appear that there are some weak jneuesjn our system of free enterprise a short time ago afcton council decided to allow rent con trots to pass away as other wartime restrictions 1 have gone last week council voted to request that rent controls be put in force again we have always favored the plan of taking off controls which were instituted as a result of wartime conditions it would seem that seven years after the close of the last world war normal conditions would allow relaxation of controls in moat fields it would appear however that housing conditions and rentals in acton must j have gone out of control when the restrictions were lifted one hesitates to comment unless rental increases are substantiated by facts in writing and figures rumors are very difficult to pin down we do not believe however that council decision would be so quickly reversed without some good grounds it is to be hoped that our fair and free enter prise system of dealing with one another will soon have become adusted so that controls will i not be necessary in rental and other fields every one is entitled to a fair profit on investment but likewise the buyer or tenant is entitled to a fair nonev he pays ifv the money he pays now wnu owe has coma up with an august 0m for the federal election this year but vacation these dove are of jttch importance that such a date srvms rather improbable a fine record of service last week we printed in our news columns a message from halton s wtember of parliament hughes cleaver in which he bade farewell to the people of halton in his public office many of us recall that it seems only a few years since mr cleaver came into the limelight as representative for halton for 16 years he has been halton s representa five at ottawa it is a tribute to his ability and his willingness to serve all the people that he has won every election which he contested we can not wonder at his desire for retirement from his public duties his calls have been many and they have been fulfilled w thout regard to the political leanings of any one we have personally known mr cleaver for many years we know something of the esteem in which he s held by h s colleagues in ottawa we know a i rile of the heavy load he carried ir the government and during these years we in t mately know of many calls he answered from those whose needs required his attention we could relate many incidents that we know of that had his attention because he felt he represented all the people of halton county we pin with other friends of hughes cleaver in halton in wishing him many years of happ ness in the leisure that may be his and in expressing appreciation of the fine public service he gave to this county as its representative for 16 years this greater toronto metropolitan arta s certatnli torn thing thai almost pushing the lest button off a jot o officials tn the city we re quite happy to be far enough away to not come into the problems that are bound to be encountered close to the homes the editor of the midland free press herald has evidently been s ttmg up nights

mr john t stubbs retiring president of the ontario secondary school teacheri federation hit the headlines when he foretold a serious teacher shortage in ontario by the year 1958 saying there are now 6100 high school teachers he believed another 4000 would be needed in a few years because of an enrollment of 707000 pupils in the public schools which would greatly increase the present total of 141 000 in the high schools school boards are frantically building schools in an endeavor to meet the present overcrowding and in anticipation of future needs boys and girls who used to walk or get a ride to school now have the school bus make a call morning and night in spite of it all teaching jobs are not proving attractive enough to keep sufficient on the ob in spite of the attractiveness of new schools and greater facilities for young people we find a lack of desire on the part of the majority to continue on to higher education from the students who enter high school only a small percentage remain to complete the course most of them want to leave at 16 to take a place in industry wef ind that councils in making explanation er education costs as one of the big reasons back of the increase provincial governments are find mg it necessary to curtail building programs then of course we had the hope report from which we all hoped would emerge a solution to our educational problems perhaps alt of those interested were a bit confounded as we were by the very size of the volume we are frank to ad mit that we have never read it our educational problems are ones at which all point to the faults but little seems to be offer ed by way of solution it is not what men eat but what they digest that makes them strong not what toe saoe that makes us rich not what men read but what they remember that makes them learned and not what we preach but what we practice that makes us christians theje are great but common truths often forgotten by the glutton the spendthrift the bookworm and

tile is the only available record of that motion since town minutes from april 1890 to about 1903 are missing no elaboration on the name or the organization of the driving park committee is available unless someone with a longer memory than mine can recau the incident in the same issue of the free press that recorded the change of name there was an item from niagara falls the item reported the finding of some woman s clothing at the entrance to pros pect park and it was believed to be owned by a woman who had committed suicide by going over the cataract i doubt that this event had any particular connection with the re naming of the park but it does seem peculiar that both items should appear in the same issue of the free prea then is tvldtntlv no partlcylnr reason for the naming of prospect park to rename the aril in honor of the coronation seems a llttk out of lint though since the pnrk is not n n w area and the good old days may have seemed better las srjwinjr azrsrt euro null
