the acton free press acton ontario thursday july 2nd 1 yung and with a future ymtrday canada marktd us 86th birthday young among the nations of the world canad ians have every reason for pride in the past and a glorious future in a forward outlook it was laurler we believe who said the 20th century belonged to canada and on every side canadians are witnessing the fulfilment of that prediction made at the start o the century the nearly five thousand miles stretching from ocean to ocean have 14009 429 people and predictions of doubling or trebling this popula tlon in the decades ahead seem well founded judging by reports that are in the news daily our natural resources are ust coming to view cana das population ts a young one too with 37 9 per cent under 20 years of age and 54 3 per cent be iween 20 and 65 years statistics unlimited could be quoted to verify the golden opportunities that are unfolding in canada and for those who make canada their home we came across a booklet the other day in which a canadian was defined we quote this sentence canadians are distinguished from the people of other nations not by their racial or cul twalbckgrouiwi appearance the distinctive mark of a canadian is aalitdjtnlnd toward his country and the rest of the world the definition of a canadian vient on in more detail but we liked that sentence canada is a great country its continued great ness and growth depend on the attitude of can adians on the forward outlook of canadians in developing this great country of ours candidate and voters will be pleased that at least the election campaign tcitl be short and alt trill hope tt is kept tweet more salesmore profits chesley had a vote on establishment of beve rage rooms and the voters decided in favor of go ing wet in drayton which has been dry for 20 years the trend was very much against the wets one of the men prominent in the wet campaign in the latter town said there are 70 widows in drayton and this gave the drys half the votes they needed to get 40 per cent of the total just why would any man write all the widows down as opposed to the sale of intoxicating beverages it may be that liquor had something to do with their widowhood we don t know here and there throughout the country the votes continue to be taken and occasionally a town changes its status from dry to wet but as a rule the trend is to stay dry as long as profits are high the liquor interests will continue to wid en their sales field net earnings of canada breweries ltd ust one company were 5 255 060 in 1952 sales of this company were 10 000 000 ahead of those of 1951 with such financial returns as an incentive the wets will seek each year for wider fields to market their products the widows however are not being fooled by the propoganda for more sales and more drunken men another year with this issue the free press starts its 79th year of continuous publication in acton while the paper had three editors m the first two or three years of publication the succeeding 76 years have seen only two editors at the helm the late h p moore was editor for 49 years and while the present editor has owned the paper for only 26 years it is 42 years smce our first assooa tion with the free press newspaper anniversaries like all birthdays ate a time when it is pleasant to express apprecia tion of the friendships formed down through the years and to affirm again the resolve to make the future even better than the past on th s anniversary when acton s newspaper is neanng the four score mark n record ng the news and history of ths town and distr ct we just want to say thank you for all the k ndly friendships and helpfulness thai has come our w ay and to assure all our readers advert sers and buyers of printing that iwllbe our constant a m to give our best serv ce n the pr ntmg field where our life work has been so long and so hap pily placed just another argument levying of taxes and the equalizing of the share municipalities end individuals shall pay is always an argumentlve point and is never settled so we might as well toss in this item which re cently appeared in a saskatchewan paper why not tax the man who lets his property go to wreck rather than the man who keeps his property in good condition as it is at present the man who employs the painter and the car penter to make his place of residence more at tractive and who thus improves the appearance of the whole neighborhood is penalized by in creased taxation while the man who allows his property to become an eyesore and thus de creases the value of his neighbors property is encouraged in his neglect by reduced taxation the slightest change in appearance of a property even to the extent of a storm porch never fails to catch the eagle eye of the assessor who incident ally is employed and paid by the assessment commission in reginaqot by the town hading bf ww ttw un indians knew what they were talking about in naming places tuen the amateur oardent hare good hope of turcett in this season of phenomena oroti th on holidays next week there will be no issue of your home town paper getting out a newspaper is very interesting work there s scarcely a dull mo ment in a newspaper office but folks who do it every week in the year are ust like those who have other occupations they like a change and so the office will be closed while the staff goes on a wellearned holiday we hope you will not be inconvenienced by the omission of one week we even hope you will miss your regular weekly visitor so much that you will welcome even more cordially the issue of july 16th we know the staff will endy the holiday and come back prepared to give you a better local newspaper throughout the other weeks of the year and your editor may come up with some new viewpoints for the editorial out look what i in i nnmrt driving through tome of the imall one lore place and alio looking at some oi the mnwi applied to centres 1 began lo wonder how placet are named for instance primrose a mall one itore place ii teems to have none of the attractions of the attractive name it bears rote mont it not too far away and in that here seems to be tome con ncetlon to someone who evidently liked the rose family and had enough influence to have places named the indians seemed to have picked up more suitable names for placet thon the earlier white man perhaps because they knew the area at 11 was not as they wished it and they had little de aire to name things after them selves esqueiing for instance is an indian name meaning tht place or land of the tall pines which the indians would be quite famll tar with originally 1 m told a very lame pnrl of the township was covered with a growth of huge plni trees tries of a height of iv feet and four feet in dlnnwter nt the base being not at all uncommon there were of course many other species of i rets including oak ample bans wood dm walnut and butternut but the pines over shadowed thrm all both in ftlse and in numbers and it was from these the indians applied suit able name of course nanagaweya la an other example ot an indian name the name means the dividing of the waters and within the town ship part of the water flows into the grand river bailn and thence to lake erie while the other part finds its wsy to lake ontario the indians applied a name that meant something peculiar to that area naming acton was more of a personalized job the first name was danville which was derived from a young man who was clerk in the first dry goods store estab lished here by wheeler green the first grocery store was estab llshed by miller hemstreet who put up the sign danville grocery by miller llemstrecl adnmsvmic was the next name for the community derived from the first settlers zcnns rufus and euro adams robert

promises put a price tag on every election promise suggests the financial post in this summer heat wave of election campaigning the heady draughts of political success or hopes of success won t do very much to tell the voter what the moon is gbing to cost it comments but he should remember and keep remembering that he is the one who will be paying the bills out of his pocket all the money must come governments cannot make it or earn it if the voter is told he really needs and wants bigger old age pensions higher farm subsidies or a new post office he has a perfect right to know exactly what each item will cost how much more it will add to his tax bill and if he is told that he will get all this and tax cuts too then he should also ask very bluntly where and how former ministers son wed
