1 ftaloe two l the actonpree press acton ontario jr- thuiusday skltemnen 20 105 the ever changing pattern fall fair of the district are nboutctvor wo ore back on standard time the autumn color are with w8 and a touch of falvli in the air with the changing teaaoh cbmei a change in our activities n sports interest goes from baseball to football and hockey the longer evening transfer the social activi ties f rom outofdoors to lndoon there are many j smaller groupi who become active at this season we always welcome news of groups but we find it impossible to be represented at so many event one of the things that should have prompt atten- lionot fall reorganization is the appointment of a press correspondent for your group contact the free press office and we cordially welcome your group representative to confer with us and offer any assistance possible to keep the local paper interesting and informative for all sections of town and district the fall and winter season is never a dull one in small communities as a matter of fact it pro vides more opportunity for gatherings than the summer months no longer are the winters long and dreary one of the things that makes can adian life interesting is its ever changing pattern of life to conform with its changing seasons too many for the space getting back in ontario again the highway traffic problem is on that is aggravated by too many cars and motor vehicles in too small an area take toronto and its everyday traffic jamsspread them out over all of ontarios highways and there is plenty of road for all vancouver and western cities appear on the surface to have solved traffic problems streets are wide and there seems plenty of parking space it is even possible to operate the traffic in all dlrectibns in vancouver for pedestrians on busy downtown intersections the same method was tried out in downtown toronto resulting in utter confusion and consequent abandonment watch the flow of traffic on western high- ways and in western cities then come back to central ontario and make a count and it is readily understood that difference is not entirely better regulation but actually a problem which has not yet been met with west of ontario perhaps when canada has a better distribu- tion of its people and its motor vehicles the prob lem of congestion which faces us every day in these parts will have a prepared solution for the rest of canada machines and people more and more industry is finding that big factories in big cities are not the answer to lower cost production tile plan may lend itself to as sembly line production but it certainly leaves out the important human factor folks who require two hours or m to get from home to work are time might be worse like most cither folks we welcomed getting back that hour on saturday night which was lost last spring with the advent of daylight saving time the hour in fact either way this year seem ed trivial the week previously in a trip across canada and back we had changed tifne backward and forwardno less than eight times our local problems are mall when compared to time changes which confront resldents of fort william broadview man field bc and van couver weve often wondered ust how they keep track of the changes and have added on the contusion at daylight saving it takes some adjustment especially in eating habits to change time an hour every day really we in this central part of canada are fortunate to have as little time contusion as we do british firms neglect us birtish firms are sharply criticiecl by the lon- dori times for neglecting canada they prefer to soil in the easy home market says the times and it they must ship across the atlantic then they prefer the united states there is an impression that many do not show sufficient interest in the canadian market do not advertise enough and do not really seem to care whether they sell coming from such a source that is a serious charge but declining sales of british goods in canada anclparticularly consumer goods tend to confirm it the canadian has no prejudice at all against british goods he knows them and he generally likes them but he is not going to beg or wait and he is not going to buy them if they are unsuitable for our market and climate or if he considers the price top high in other words british goods like those of any other country including canada must be sold they just cant be dumped at halifax montreal or vancouver and move into consump tion themselves brief comment litterbugs is a name that is applicable 1o those who throw litter about the streams and make our town untidy dont be one population in canada rose 198000 in the first half of 1955 to 15637000 this increase is at an annual rate of 26v a little below annual growth rle of 2 7o in the first half of 1954 while many will deplore the steadily increas ing encroachment of industrial and urban develop ments upon what was originally the best of farm iig land such changes tire inevitable cowichan bc leader it is with gratitude and pride that one looks upon the young people who are growing up around us and with whom we come so happily not getting shorter work hours but merely shorter productive hours the employee that takes on hour to ride var- tous trnsportartott1crtebcha factory that takes walking a long distance to- reach his particular job is not in a good mood to start the days work the mood doesnt improve as he ponders all daywhat his chances are in getting back home in reasonable time usually the4unch hour- is- the time when folks in the big factories compare their hardships theres a difference in attitude in the small town where it is possible for most workers to go home for lunch there is evidence in many ways that after all the human factor in industry is more im- portant than the machine assembly small towns will do well to guard against the establishment of giant factories better to have a diversified industrial community of moderate size than giant plants whose moods and changes are reflected most forcibly on the life of all the citi zens growth is coming to this area and there is no heed to point to this fact there is evidence on every side in the growth however it is to be hoped the expansion will be orderly and retain the advantages of small community fife into contact they seem to be on the right patrt leading to first class citizenship high river alta times house building in canada continues at a rap idfire pace reports the financial post new hous ing units started in july rise eight per cent from july 1954 and are
