acton time to public what and who it didnt matter what town paper we perused the past week the same pattern followed through there was the need for greater services and improvements and a definite lack of funds or limitation of borrowing ability the year end and nomination meetings are a great time for a ring the views of citizens on all phases of municipal affairs there was another pattern too and that was the acclamations which were accorded n muni cipal offices and the dearth of new candidates for the various posts in many instances men who felt they had given sufficient of thei municipal work were brought back v service the whole picture resolve d into one big prob lern most everyone agreed that municipal ser vices and expenditure were on the increase but few indeed relished the task of raising the funds municipal authorities feel thai provincial govern ments should assume more of their costs it ap pears that to date there has been an appearance of this by way of grants but in the final reckoning there are either more mills or more assessment added at the municipal level of course there is no way to spend more and pay lesslna country growing such as ours every municipality must keep up with its neigh bor in the matter of progress and facilities there are many who are important and want to see a greater acceleration of municipal improvements and who urge them regardless of ability to pay just as rome wasn t built in a day neither will all the needs of this young country be met in a short span but nomination days are great spurs to the discussion of public progress those who assume reponsibihties are adding to the progress of their generation none alike we don t like to admit it but while we ve al ways advocated christmas shopping early we an one of the those who ust can t keep up tha christmas spirit from the first of november unti pecember 25th its like the hockey season thi finals are the time for real excitement with us we know it isn t orderly or right and maybe it s a sign of advancing years but we ust cant en thuse immediately after one christmas to do our chopping for the next even if there are tremen hous savings offered christmas has come to be a bigger thing to day than in our boyhood those away torn home came home on christmas eve loaded with their shopping ll was hectic but it sure wis cxntinq the odors of christmas baking never started in the house until a few days he on chnstnns but they wercn t stale when christmas diy roll if aiound and the addition of roasting lurkey sm ii fiom the kitchen wis nfdcl io whet ihr ipp lilt for the big day sure do your christmas shopping early get jour cards out and mail them m plenty of time with christmas the size it is today everybody would ue- in an awfulcommotion if there were many as dilatory as we are we re starting in next week and we hope the biggest rush will be over because we do detest being in the christmas rush we re always very pleased that so many folks can get in the christmas

11 niijht loo editors we know all together municipal elections are almost over for an other year and the maonty of those who will serve in public office have been chosen the early election dates have now proven most popu lar in halton and most other counties it is best tc have this item over before the christmas sea son is entered both require a lot of attention and it is better not divided every contest every time of choosing leaves some disappointed and others pleased all de cisions are popular in some quarters and unpopu tar m others but once the decision has been made once the electors have made their choice in their own free way it is best that the contest be forgotten and that citizens give support and encouragement to those who are to serve the filling of public office is an onerous one today it means that these municipal duties are added in the hours after those in which one mak es a living it means that leisure hours are turned into public service hours some times appreciated and more often ridiculed by those who refuse to take any part themselves this isn t particularly typical of our town but is applicable to most every town only by working together can the most be accomplished we all want to see acton progress in the way that is best for all of our citizens the elections are for the most part over let s get on with our tasks pulling together as one town things money cant buy money can t buy real friendship friendship must be earned money cant buy a dear conscience square dealing is the price tag money cant buy the qtow of good health- right living is the secret money cant buy happiness happiness is a mental attitude and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion money can t buy sunsets sonas of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees these are as free as the air we breathe money can t buy inward peace peace s the result of a constructive philosophy of life our exchanges this week had many items concerning editors of weekly newspapers that we know the most distressing item was the news that the wife of the editor of the chesley enter pnse mrs clayton schaus had died of injuries re ceived in a motor accident mrs schaus had ust recovered from a lengthy illness and returnee home only a few months our sympathy goes to this well known editor and an understanding of what the loss of tins bright helpmate will mean in the days ahead rtxton rafter editor of the arthur enterprise has sold the paper although handicapped by being totally blind rixlon rafler got out a newsy paper and was a speaker of some ability arthur i not going to lose its popular editor but we un derstand he is going to help his successor get started in the new field seems hardly possible but the peel gazette one of brampton s newspapers marked
