the acton free press acton ontario thursday arjui 29th ibm it might be worse a income tax time has arrived perhaps we who live in ontario may have some bit of solace that our provincial government has not added on another load such as quebec business men are now experiencing an added tax levy is of course of some importance but added to money collected is the tax collecting clerical staff that must be maintained by individual firms and the confusion which invariably comes with any new legislation we call attention to this to alleviate our own and kindred feelings that come in the days just prior to april 30th governments are not particularly efficient in the handling of money and without a doubt the new levy in quebec will require the engagement of a new staff of clerical people and another group of inspectors much of the money collected will be required to make the collection and once on the payroll of any government the staff never decreases the sooner canadians gel wise to the facts that regulations of their income by governments is unsound the better the country as a whole wilt develop as long as we demand more services end security bonuses and subsidies from govern ments the more it becomes necessary to add tax levies governments have no money to dole out except the funds which are secured from the citi zens of the country compares well our interest in high school districts goes back to their beginnings reading some of the ex changes the past week we found new interest in the rates being paid in other municipalities walkerton district rate is 1 i 3 mills and hanover is 12 75 mills for the wingham district the rate is 5 mills and at chesley 8 6 mills is required there is apparently quite a variation and we pre nthc s o the-dtatitg-ond- the indebtedness on the buildings and equipment in north halton district the rate vanes in the five municipalities according to their a but we find that no municipality requires five mills to meet the levy for this year in acton the tax bills give the amount about 4 mills and in mil ton the same source gives the levy as under 3 mills we have not seen the tax levies of the other three municipalities but it would seem that 4 mills would be the average rate for the district when it is taken into consideration that three schools are maintained to serve north halton and that a building program in all of them calls for 350 000 expenditure it would seem that the high school costs are very favorable with other districts of course none of the schools in the north halton district are equipped with auditorium gymnasiums and lack many of the frills which most high schools have perhaps we can hope for such things at a time when costs of building and equipment are lower but in the meantime north halton has a rate in costs to the taxpayer that compares very favorably with other high school districts not the load it was the burden of the national debt that used to be a theme on which hundreds of canadian politicians were prepared to make a rip roaring speech at the drop of a hat but national debt isn t talked about so much now comments the financial post which gives some reasons why in the last nine years 2 billions has been whittled off our national debt today it amounts to about 11 billions that is 1 7 less than in 1946 which was the all time peak this substan tial reduction means a saving of 75 millions an nually in interest payments today interest payments on it amount to less than o of gross national production it used to be that a lot of it was held abroad by foreigners now it is held very largely by canadians themselves paying interest on it means collecting from canadians to pay to can adians whats in a name recently we heard an address which the speaker termed let us remember ho pointed cut that the thing a man or woman likes to hear best is his own name he went on and told ui how it was possible to remember the names of hundreds and thousands of people one may meet and gave a formula for remembering there isn t a doubt about it that this remembering names of folks is a great advantage we often wish we had cultivated the art of remembering people and names better it s not much solace to find that the vast maonty of people are in our class and only the few have mastered the task of remembering and association to be perfectly frank we cannot now remem ber the simple formula for association of names and people that was given us only a few weokt ago one would think that public relations de partments would be careful of names and keep mailing lists reasonably up to date for years we have been receiving material from one of cana das largest enterprises addressed to angus mc lean as editor we ve gone back to 1875 and cannot find that such a name was ever associated with the free press another big institution is still sending their material to william panton who hasnt been assoc iated with the champion for 30 years a paper mil sends letters to the action press mill street action street action ontario we never saw so much action on one envelope in all our life reminds us that one day we called on several weekly newspaper offices and in one where the editor was not home we got in conversation with the printer s devil and told him we were a printer and asked if he felt there was any chance for a job his comeback was you don t look like a printer we ve been wondering ever since what one has to do to look like a printer or how long one has to be in business before the outside world reading bmtwn trt utnt cycle change recalls days when

s not an uncommon thing to see boys on a bicycle and carrying a fishing pole and wearing a hopeful look and it brings back recollections in the days of isaak walton fishing was known as the contemplative man s recreation in the eng land of walton s time those who demanded the more heady thrills of the chase went in for fox hunting and other blood sports of an even gorier nature and the honest angler was probably re garded as the milquetoast of the sporting fratern ity the spring days have other thrills these times the young man s fancy so often turns to cars and speed but there is still the group that finds en loyment along the banks of big and small waters in ust fishing and taking time to contemplate when the fish aren t biting too well may 1st still has its thrills for a
