1hi acion f rl i irivi a kin ontario tlhmbtay may whh ism radlng bf wn trw umi acton voted in levy faces town from authority council opposes fiutt summer holiday the popular holiday which wemi to mark the opening of the summer season victoria day is next monday since the reign of queen victoria wes the longest in the british commonwealth the day has become so much a part of our lives that any effort to dislodge it from the list of holidays proves very unpopular added to this it the fact here in canada that the weather is usually so en ticlng that everyone seems to feel the need of an outing from now on its firm roots as a holiday will even be better established since it has been put in the list of canadian holidays which will occur on a monday the only other canadian holiday which fluctuates around and comes this year right almost in mid week is dominion day which is set for july 1st perhaps the time will come soon when this holiday will be accorded the same treat ment as victoria day end each year fall on a mon day t couw be popular move and assyre bet ter observance letting off fire in canada the day for firecrackers seems to have been established as victoria day in the united states the day for noise and trial by fire seems to be the fourth of july the chinese have another time for celebrating with noise and dis play by fireworks end we suppose that most every country has a special noise day two world wars of noise and discharge of ex plosives have failed to dim the desire of man kind for these displays every year at our can advert national exhibition and at numerous smal ler events through the countryside the displays of fireworks and the thundering noise accompanying them is one of the thrilling events we suppose that in this present day and generation the newest attempts of the pyrofech nicians will be to portray the atomic or hydrogen bombs as long as we have wars and rumors of wars the fields for those who make displays of fireworks will not lack innovation most folks hope they will only be a means of entertainment and not a source of destruction so we come to victoria day in canada and in spite of the fact that youngsters and old boys know that in many communities the sale and dis charge of fireworks is illegal well hear and see them throughout the cbuntryside keeping pace a rather small item in the newspapers the other day gave the information that canada s railways were making application to serve in toxicating beverages on the trains of course tt is only another trend showing that the brewers and distillers are gaming more outlets and aiming at higher profits the railway management may also be looking with envy at the many institutions which are making handsome profits out of selling liquor we recall a few years ago riding on a train in the united states there was a socalled dining car on the train and of course we anticipated it would be up to the same standard that we find on our canadian railways it was a typical barroom en wheels the menu was limited and badly prepared with the chief item wieners and canned beans we were theonly ones in the dining car being served food everyone else was drinking beer we wonder if the move in canada will have the same effect on our canadian dining car service which now enioys a reputation for excellence we wonder too if serving of liquor on can adian trains will make travelling on them any more pleasant for those who do not like rowdy tsm and lurching in the aisles of drunken men or women we wonder if women and children will find train travel more pleasant when drunkenness is encouraged on our railways and if the move will make train travel more accident free the brewers and d stillers are doing well n their spread of the sale of mtoxicatinq beveraqes mental institutions alcoholics tfhonymous and welfare organzatons are havnq a task to keep pace with the wrecks they leave behnd them growth trnd quite often the qtietlion li poind whlrh way

development wosl of lown is going on in a iminr degree north and south of ac ion is not witnessing an much expansion but who can say thai such will continue to be the case somewhere between acton and millon the now through highway from windsor will intersect no 5 highway will it bring an industrial development south of acton in those days of rapid development it h difficult to predict future expansion one can be assured however that in this age which belongs to cana da every town village and hamlet will share in the growth atn tii illusions every weekend we enpy a perusal of many weekly newspapers and find out how towns in ontario such as ours are meeting their various problems since the first of the year tax rates have been set in towns and villages in ontario and the new assessments that are not so new in halton have been coming into effect in every case where the new assessment has come into effect the mill rate is down the news papers are giving this information and also point ing out that actually more taxes are being paid the new assessment has only had the effect of making the rate of the levy seem more palatable all forms of government have this illusion to perform all the time newspapers are doing a public service when they take the magic away fiom tax levies the more public service which we load onto governments the more taxes will be required there is no magic for supplying gov ernment funds but there is a lot of illusion in the way they are collated and it is being used with some effect in provincial and federal fields more adeptly than in the

indicate that canada s finances are in a very healthy condi i tion it is even more surprising when it is remem bered that these issues are at 3 a figure which could hardly be improved or duplicated m any current borrowing it is quite evident that canada does not intend to borrow more money at the present time one would surmise that if any large amounts are to be expended on public works the government has the funds in sight for such an undertaking such expenditures as over three million on the harbor facilities at port credit in dicate that canada is preparing for continued ex pansion and the development of such projects as the seaway and knows where the finances will come from it s a healthy sign for the future of canada mat our taxes are meeting obligations before they become due
