1 i vagb two the acton free press acton ontario- thursday september 1 1955- labor day since monday is labor dy has been observed urt canada since 1894 we presume that back in 1893 when the house of commons appointed the first monday in septem ber as la day i w i as a d set apart to give tribute to those who labor to make this country a better land in which to live many of us can recall when it was a day that called for parades of the workers in various industries it is a pretty inclusive holiday for everyone because each in his or her own way is a laborer today there was a time when the word laborer in the voters list designated those who did not specialize in any field but who did the heavy laborious work of the country modern machines have changed this view digging of ditches and post holes building of roads etc are no longer the task of strong backs and hands machinery has taken out the drudgery so in this present day it appears labor day takes in all who labor and who doesnt labor in some way next monday is another holiday in which many canadians will enjoy a day of rest and relaxation it will be a fine long weekend at the close of summer for those engaged in indus try in these days of 64000 questions uranium development lucky draws and sweepstake tickets it might be well to remind ourselves that the majority of canadians still labor to produce the wealth and growth of the nation and their own advancement the busy bees during the war years when sugar was ration ed honey was very much in demand in ontario for the past 10 years there has been a steady de cline in beekeeping this year it is said honey production has dropped 50 per cent weather conditions have not been good and other factors are contributing to the decline of the industry there are other causes which have made bee- keepirtg unprofitable among them are the de velopment of new strains of clover and other for age crops which have a high production yield but offer little nectar for the bees spraying of road side banks where flower blossoms once flourish- ed has also contributed to the setback of honey production the production of honey may not be consider ed important by some folks but eliminate the work of the busy bees and this whole country will soon be in a bad way many fruits and vegetables simply could not be produced without bees to pollinate the flowers the same applies to certain other i fiejds and canning crops and to many flowers we cannot change the weather conditions but we can alter the methods of farming and overuse pf chemical sprays which will keep nature in bal ance and allow the honey bees to carry on their work which is greater than we realize it is a matter which needs immediate attention in our agricultural production today better opportunities schools reopen next tuesday and in spite of all the building program which has been carried on over the past few years classrooms will be crowded canada is growing there are more yriirwj c bom here more new can- adians from other oduntries and the problem of providing adequate facilities for the education that will fit them for their place in the future is a gieat one in spite of this growth the children have today greater opportunities for securing education than a few years ago many of us can recall when a high school education called for real hardship today it is within the reach of every child living outside the town is no handicap since the district is now served by buses which bring the scholars right to the school door a few years ago starting back to school was often an expense that was burdensome to parents the purchase of books and supplies is now an item that is paid for by all citizens of the community better school classrooms help in equipping the scholars carrand do all play a part in better education and fittingsyoung folks for life these things alone cannot make for success that de pends on individual initiative the boy or girl who is just going to school to put in time without any aim or objective in life will not benefit great ly from the facilities of today right now at the opening of a new school term is the time to set sights and strive for the goal of your future and work toward it two income taxes for 15 years canadian taxpayers have been filling but one set of income tax forms even in quebec which has never signed a tax rental agreement it wasnt until this year that two forms had to be used with a different basis of taxable income for each weve grown so used to this state of affairs that to most of us it seems unthinkable tfiatvwe might have to return to the complications annoy ances and cost of overlapping tax jurisdictions but warns the financial post that could happen the federal government is toyirig with a scheme which could endanger all the uniformity of income taxes which the tax rental agreements have brought about it has not yet been adopted as the basis of ottawas proposal to the 10 pro vinces in october of course and there is still plenty of time for the cabinet to reassert the im portance of avoiding double taxation but the political appeal is obvious beyond the machine modern man has been so successful in his scientific pursuits that he sometimes forgets there are limits to the powers of his wonderful machin es he has released the energy of the atom and is finding ways to put it to peaceful use he can talk across the world send sound and pictures across a continent and fly faster than sound yet he still is not master of his planet several times a year there are reminders that forces more powerful than human devices are abroad in the world hurricanes swirl out of the tropics from time to time and pound the north american east coast sometimes landing a destructive punch on parts of canada as hurricane hazel and one of her ram paging sisters did last fall tornadoes sometimes sweep into canada from the united states such as the one which created havoc a few years ago at sarnia ont and hurricanes which many have experienced in the past year electrical storms often brew over canada and cut a destructive swath across the countryside in winter- bliyarhs ran paralyze travel and com
