the acton free press acton 6ktario thlfasday august 20ih ims for parents only results of school examinations have been an nounced and many students are during these weeks before the opening of the high schools and universities making plans which will affect their lifetime parents are having a guiding in fluence too in helping young people make a choice of careers never were there greater opportunities offer ed the young people today for a continuance of their education school buildings and equipment are the most modern governments and mumci pahties are contributing funds to make school life attractive and the acquisition of an education easy to obtain even funds are provided for parents to assist in keeping children in scbool untrl they have attained the age of 16 years many parents however do not realize seemingly thai such assistance is for the benefit of the children the days otttyld labor and education only for the rich man s children are long past in canada every child whether he lives in town or country has an opportunity to receive an education at least until the age of 16 years it behooves par ents to see that their children are given the bene- those who have the perseverance for studies be yond that age the door is open parents have a duty and responsibility to their children to see that they get the advantages and are persuaded to continue their studies at school al least until the age of 16 such a grounding is splendid training and gives decided advantages that are useful all the way through life if yon would know and not be known iuh in a dtycouon it can happen here the news of world events has carried some rather disturbing items regarding the chaos in france it has become commonplace to read of the short lived governments that france has been having to find that services of the country were almost paralyzed by a strike of civil servants was therefore not wholly unexpected it is not necessary however to go over seas to get events that show that law and respect for the rights of others is lightly regarded by some groups ontario has a strike of transport workers and the incidents reported on the high ways of the province that are maintained by all the people of the province do not make for a feeling of confidence in our own people in northern ontario the strike of mine workers seems to be getting out of hand and mob rule seems all too prevalent none will deny the right of any worker to strike and remain away from work until his re quests are met but if we are to avoid chaos and complete paralysis of our form of living there must be a cessation of violence and mob rule employee and employer have a right to expect protection of life and property in the conduct of every day business if we are to avoid an exper lence similar to that which france is now having ttis tim t m f tcrmalntain law and order canadian show window the canadian national exposition which has grown from a small agricultural fair to the world s

those who may have been pessimistic over the advantages of a swimming pool in acton would view the project in a new light if they visited any summer day at the first phase of the project in the park and saw the 50 or 60 children enoying the facilities of the unlor pool we are well aware that the present pool is not the project on hch aeon embrked few yrs go ii 4 7 7 merely a start but it is a start which proves the program planned can be carried out if all the cm zens have a resolution of purpose to carry on the proiect the junior pool for children up to 10 years of age has proven ideal there is a need for a pool for the older groups too and for adequate dress ing rooms operatioejlf the unior pool too has shown the need for equipment to filter end treat the water regularly given time and the support of the whole community the project as originally planned can be completed but it is going to take the cooperation of all perhaps it will take longer than was first anticipated but worthwhile projects always require much effort at any rate there have been a bunch of new enthusiasts made this summer since the luni pool has been ley rfsoon be the men and women of to- nforrow
