4 f page two the acton fre press acton ontario thursday jung 9th 1965 i n i i lucky or unlucky thursday may be a favorite day with premier frostifor an election but from the standpoint of a weekly newspaper its more objectionable than a micweek holiday of necessity the editorial comment must be written early irt the week news items and advertising must be arranged on wednesday at the latest any advertising of election is therefore of lit tle use to the candidates since it only appears qrt the date of the votings any editoriav comment on the last minute phases of the campaign has no bearing finally news of the results is not avail able before friday the day after the paper is printed and consequently held over for a week we suppose it will have no bearing on any political leader what the troubles of a weekly newpaper editor involve we wouldnt for the world place any more grief on any leader in any field but thursday elections are just a pain in the neck in any newspaper in the weekly field we hope somebody will find a day that is more lucky toot toot the police chief of lopg branch has issued a warning to wedding celebrants that those who follow a car carrying a bride and groom tooting the horns on their cars will find themselves in jail charged under the villages antinoise bylaw we agree with the police chief of that com munity that these horn tooting processions are a nuisance and do not pay tribute in any way to the sanctity of marriage matrimony is a sacred cere mony blessed by god it is a solemn contract be tween two people to join forces until death parts them matrimony is the most sacred thing in the lives of any couple it doesnt rate as a cheap parade or side show with noise just for the sake of noise and to attract attention we do not know whether there is an anti- noise bylaw here or not but there are many folks who would welcome such a bylaw if it would stop this cheap demonstration that has become part of the wedding proceedings of today the real highway menace according to prof joslyn rogers analytical chemist and consultant to the attorney generals department alcohol is involved in approximately 85 per cent of the traffic accidents in this pro vince tne same authority expresses the belief that it jyas to blame for between 200 and 400 of last years 1 000 traffic highway fatalities professor rogers discusses the matter not as a temperance advocate but as an analytical chem ist when he explains the effect of alcohol on the motorist alcohol produces a sense of euphoria says the prof that means you think you can dive deeper swim farther and come out dryer thananyoneelse or you think you can pass a car going at 50 miles an hour but you may meet someone coming from the opposite direction who is also suffering from euphoria a lack of discretion an unjustified confidence in ones ability as a driver these are alcohols fatal gifts to the motorist who to already heavy libations adds one for the road n preivacation dreaming this is the time of year when most canadians enjoy what may be the best part of summer holi daysthe anticipation in an idle hour they can relax and dream aboutsthe pleasure soon to come or plan a vaca tion even more idyllic than the one they intend to take this dreaming and planning can extend over several weeks and it doesnt cost a cent even if a mans wife wants to go to the mountains and the man himself favors going to the seaside he can dream anyway about the sea side of course the nicest thing about this preholiday antici pating is that in it everything works out perfectly the fisherman fills his creels the golfer shoots his holeinone the motorist rolls merrily along with never a traffic jam or a flat tire the bashful youth finds a sweetheart or the shy miss lapds a husband more and more favor again this year acton organizations carried out a most successful decoration day on sunday the weather was cooperative for a function out- ofdoors and the district groups gave splendid cooperation in supplying bands and participating in the parade on behalf of citizens sotltpresenf and former residents a word pi appreciation is due to all who worked to make the event so im pressive in june the cemeteries present their best and it is a grand time in which to pay tribute to those who have gone on before flowers too are in profusion and all the graves in their row on row were a tribute wjthjhe jright floral decorations it is an appropriate time of year for an out door service such as decoration day can provide we used to have rjiore of them in acton in the summer months than we havjn these later years we hope that decoration day wvill continue to be an annual event to perpetuate these services a suggestion that was passed on to us and which we have relayed to members of the com mittee was that a floral tribute and some place in the program should be given in recognition of the pioneers cemetery just off knox avenue where the remains of the early settlers of this section are interred we feel that this oversight will be cor rected and that decoration day in acton will con tinue to find a place in the hearts and lives of those of us who remain not always price t photo by esther taylor june in the country is a time of growth and green when warm weather brings forth crops and gardens fully leafs the trees and puts grass and pasture land in a rich verdant garb the scorching heat of july and august the drier months has yet to tarnish the green sheen that coats the countryside the good op days i may hav seemed tt better n e ast o r t h w s outh est the other day we noted that in new toronto a tender had been let for certain work at a bid of 20467 the engineers estimate of the cost of the work had been 32362 a difference in the two estimates of approximately 10000 one sometimes wonders at the wide variance when bids are opened on building and construction obs whether they are estimates or pure guesses it is quite easy to reconcile moderate differences in prices submitted by tender of a few dollars but when a third of the total amount involved in the whole creates the difference many of us who pre pare estimates on smaller items and are criticized for differences in cost are a bit flabbergasted at the wide spread in construction bids this occurson most every construction job called for tender and is not peculiar to new to ronto or any other municipality adding to the confusion is the fact that the estimates are pre pared from identical specifications and the engi neers who prepare the plans are very liable to be at wide variance with the offer of some company to undertake the work after all as in most things we suppose the prime factor for consideration is reliability of the firm for successful completion of such work as well as the price consideration many a munici pality and individual have found that price is not always the prime factor in getting work done brief comment time is at hand whert school pupils are being put to the test regarding the studies which have been assigned them over the past year money for hospital in oakville its reported the oak- villetrafalgar memorial hospital building campaign has yielded a total

in grants from i june the month of strawberries and green peas and the start of the crop of homegrown vegetables roses also bloom this month to add beauty to outofdoors most taxpayers would be greatly shocked if comparisons were made in the amount of value received for tax dollars these days as compared with that of 25 years ago more and more people are obtaining an easy ride on the shoulders of the taxpaying public langley bc advance we are making education in high schools too easy says the nanton alta news the water ing down of courses in order to encourage and attract students is
