the acton free press acton7 ontario thursday may 12th 1k t es- i- your choice a provincial election has been announced for june 9th and from now until the voting is sum- marked the headlines of the papers the radio and every means of meeting the public will be used in getting tp the electorate it may all be a bit confusing and it is a time when the electors teed to analyse all the statemerits very carefully here in haltpn county the conservative candi date will be chosen at a convention to be held to morrow night stanley hall of hornby has been member for a number of years arid would seem the very reasonable choice to again carry the ban ner for the conservatives wm anderson who has b prominent in county affairs- a former jeeye of oakyille and within one vote of being mayor of that town this year is the choice of the liberals stan allan of georgetown council and wellknown in labor circles will represent the c and wl 1 d j canada gels underway on may 15th it is aimed to make this years campaign the biggest to date publicized within the weeks prior to june 9th there is general agreement that a lopsided legislature such as has been in power for the past five years in ontario does not make for the best government on a three party system however it seems that often one emerges numerically strong and the popular vote is so divided thai two minority parties are unable to give even token op- psition perhaps it is atase sftoo much choice being given the electorate t ma i in the h o th el n it is up to the people to make the decision by all means be prepared to render that decision in the best interests of ontario as a whole when the time comes next month creeping communism socialism as a political movement has two distinct characters in this country one is unortho dox socialism as the students of political science label it and the canadian form of this is the ccf the other is orthodox socialism more com monly known as communism in canada the of ficial communist action calls itself the labor pro gressive party from this latter party and frqm its sympathiz ing circle all guided by the red light of moscows worldcommunism movement scurry the work ers hirelings and fellow travellers who wedge their persistent way into canadian labor govern ment levels universities and even the arts and sciences l this isio revelation its realized and in effect ccndoned as liberalminded citizens say idealistic- allythatcommun c be p in a democratic country andsayysupposedly realistic- ally thatweve thusprevented the reds from go ing underground and we can watch them well weve watched them infiltrate and as sume control of the united electrical workers the mine mill and smelter workers international union the united fishermens uniorv and inter national fur and leather workers union this in labor alone its time the dreamers who are willing to bow in redled organizations with democratic niceties woke up to just what happens after the commun ists get all the way in democracy goes all the way out the avowed goal of marxist socialism alias russian communism is world revolution this aim has not changed nor has the communistic convic tion that the existence of democratic states cannot be tolerated under such a goal this is the aim forged by despots in the krem lin ito so creep into the daybyday pursuits of noncommunist peoples that eventually when the infiltration is strongest revolution by force will boil into awful reality marx lenin and stalin left that firm in the minds of world communists if a man will not deny that he is a communist then h cannot deny the unswerving direction he must follow the road to world revolution and the death of democratic freedom sjrangled by creeping communism keep up with jones the teams of eloquent verse written by poets sech sprfng can hardly be attributed to inspira tion irom humansf the muddy fields which over night becpme emerald carpets are the magic handiwork of nature the bursting- buds which make of every tree an admired debutante and the motti warmed soil are natures creations in fact aboutlhe only unsightjy things we see about us in spring sights that would jar the creativeness of any poet are manmade drab sootbegrimed houses- grey weatherbeaten barns broken down fences weed infested yards and roadways while such eyesores are more prevalent in urban centres we have them right here irlacton as well as in the rural areas but they cover a wid er area officially this year the campaign to cleart up- no need to wait until may 15th you can get right ahead now in the cleanup and beautifica- tion campaign remember your share in the na tional program starts right at home the weather has been ideal for an early start lets not lag un til the job is done and acton need take no back spat in any part o the dom reverse action good there were exclamations of relief asf- week when the announcement was made thatprovincial police would be continued and the former an nouncement of the provincial department was cancelled it was another problem off the list of municipal councils agenda which could well stand lightening we well know that the administration of pro- vincial police must be a problem complaints of the force and securing of personnel and com plaints from the municipalities and blame- of irate citizens are things that become quite mountainous when all accumulated in one heap however now that the plan is in effect in over 40 munici palities in ontario and all the administrations operating it seems ridiculous to scrap the whole system the municipalities which protested the move are to be commended for their protest there has been too much acquiescence to provincial dicta tion in many fields which is shown in the political platforms that point to the need for more munici pal aid we commend the provincial authorities on bending an ear to public opinion we hope that such attention is not due in any way to the forecast of june events and that fickle mind ch a the confusion i crea will be re moved from the government of ontario that as sumes office after the election next month time to stop the continued agitation for flag changing is proving a field for wouldbe designers that are bringing up grotesque suggestions and in the ef fort to please all factions getting nowhere there is one way to stop the nonsense the red ensign with the union jack in the corner is until changed- by act of parliament canadas official flag lets forget about redesigning another and use it more use of it would settle the matter in time and-we- would not have this constant agitation being bi ought up pity the poor school students who would have to draw a flag that was as allinclusive as the one most recently suggested those elongated lions beavers maple leaves and fleurdelis all have their significance of course get them all on 6 canadian flag and school children will never know whether it is a zoo or a forest or a map of canada that makes up our national flag we fear ones schoollife would have to be extended to take even the recognition of our flag into the curriculum and we would have an even more ignorant generation than the present on our na tional flag lets forget it and see more of jthe red ensigns floating in canada i 3 the only tnt ever pabltehed aa act rounded in 1875 and published every thursday at so mill st e acton out member of the
