i cage two a the acton free press acton ontario thunstoay june 1 w65 public apathy the electiortsare qverfor another term tnqn- tsho provincial matters arid prerriletfrost and his government have been overwhelmingly endorsed tfbr another term tn batton county where stan hall has represented the riding for several years he agairrdtred a yotef that gave hearty approval to his fulf flrnent of office and representative of this county it is a fact vyorth noting that of 33429 eligible voters in halton only 17482 went to the polls to register their choicetiflhe 15947 voters who failed to exercise their privilege had gone to the polls we question if the end result in halton would have been any different there are in this county however 15947 voters who by their negligence of duty have no right to beef about provincial matters they had their opportunity and failed roughly only about half the voters have apparently any interest in the affars of on tario there is no sense in blaming this apathy on the leaders the parties or the lack of issues last- thursday we had a free and democratic method cf expression of individual opinion its a privi lege that has been lost in some countries and has jed to a sad plight for the common people of those countries over 15000 people right in opr own country threv away their right to democratic expression on thursday last there might haye been 94 who through illness or other reasonable excuses were unable to gel to the polls there is nc use in going further afield to find fauit it is time we looked at our own failures it is poo encouragement toi leaders candidates and tnose wnc serve to have a people who are so half heartedi interested in their own affairs if such apathy on tne parr of the people themselves con- tinjs there wil pe further

fathers day making a valiant stand for recognition jtryei there is often a little confusion on just wfiatsuri- day in june is fathers day but we fathers mysf get together on this matter and make sure the date is well publicized we just arent too sure ourselves what sunday in june has met with general approval but we do know that in t955 fathers day is next sunday jun 19th neckties socks smokes and other small gifts are always appreciated by dads who often dont have time to give much attention to small pur chases but the size of the gift or the card of re membrance is not half as importani as the fact that once a year there is a token to say dad is a decent sort of a guy say it or express it any way you please on sunday but if you even give him a little con sideration for the things he tries to do for you hell appreciate it even if he hasnt the finesse to put it as well as mothers can always do ie photo by esther taylor some fun huh late spring sunshine is bright and warm and where

or ban creai under terms of the national hous ing ac up c april 30 1955 with the mortgage pro gram in effect only slightly more than a year the chartered banks have committed more than 216000000 in housing loans said mr atkin son who today completed his twoyear term as president mratkinson notes that while on april 30 the banks had nha mortgage commitments ex ceeding 210000000 actual advances totalled 118000000 he explained there would always be a lag between commitments and advances be- ca use payme are mad only a construction ptoceeds mr atkinson said he was particularly proud of the fact that bank housing loanswere being made not only in the larger centres but also in the smaller more remote areas where previously it had been difficult if not imposstbler to obtain adequate mortgage assistance the chartered banks he said have made mortgage loans from one end of canada to the other and broadly speaking they are available in every community within reasonable reach of a branch bank thus another objective of thejegis- tation has been fully rnet that of increasing the machinery for making housing loans by adding the 4100 branches of the chartered banks many of them in small centres with the first years experience satisfactory there is no doubt that the financing of homes under the national housing act is now an accept- ed and integral part of canadian banking mr atkinson commented but emphasized mr ark inson despite the large volume of mortgage loans a volume which will increase steadily there has been ho restric- tioninthe ability of the chartered banks

information centre made contacts and advertised these towns to a large and varied audience that could be reached tn tvo other way it was a venture into a new field by the north halton urban board which must of necessity be measured not in the present but in a long term over the years ahead there is often on the part ct the- general public an impatience to see immed iate results from such a promotion as the trade fair exhibit the man on the street is too apt to expect an immediate result too prone to con demn if a new industry is not immediately locat ed or a new boom blossoming in a few months the promotion of the north halton urban board carried on now can not be fully assessed in a decade it will not go on its own momentum without further assistance but from a broad view point the start made in the few months of the boards operationhas been encouraging and it is no idle or unfounded prediction that it will be beneficial in the years ahead in the growth of north halton it was something that certainly could not have been attempted by individual towns of the size of the three municipalities of north halton ed no injuries were reported start rc church in bronte in bronte

got a jolt last week when members learned that despite a recent and costly program of water supply ex pansion the town still wont have enough to service the big delrex subdivision when it is built it could be that the town will eventually need some four million gallons daily so council has to start all over again thanks to polecat in burlington one night last week a resident was wakeded by the un
