v the acton free press acton ontario thursday october 27th 195 lt a rweek of secret plans jjalloween next iwionday and the customs of observing this event vary with the times the op portunities for damage and inconvenience that 11960 to beset nearly every household have gone with the coming of waterworks and sewage dis posal the school bells have been replaced large ly with inside operated mechanisms and the blacksmith shops and farm yards have no more buggies and lumber wagons to place in awkward positions the trend has been to more fun for the young sters in the friendly visits to the homes and the organized groups fostered by various organiza tions for a much more sensibje observance of halloween its a time that is eagerly anticipated by youngsters young people and people who feel young at heart there never was a license on this particular night for doing wiltul damage to property andpersori so trie week ahead will be one of planning and some secret arrangements among the young folk as the disguises are planned and the whims of nocturnal visits and fun among friends culmin ate in the ageold observance of halloween a dog race rather interesting to note the past week that the strike of brewery workers only lasted two days until a settlement was reached it seems that deliveries were about to be rationed and the very thought of being deprived of it made a dire necessity that such a famine must not occur in the meantime other strikes which have been in progress for weeks and even months continue to remain unsettled one sometimes wonders if the basis for halt ing a strike is not the issues involved but rather the clamor of the public who may or may nor be willing to pay the higher price for the commodity that increased cost of production is bound to bring about the question arises are the settle ments made by conciliation conferences negotia tions etc or just on the basis of demand for the products and the market supply of the commod- iy we presume the answers will ge given when workers strikes come into balance with buyers strikes in the meantime the spiral of higher costs and the need for more wages to meet the higher costs continues seems an elusive chase and like the dog races even the dog that wins the races never catches the things which he chased in self protection while there will be an open season in halton county for deer hunting next month more and more hunters are going to be trustrated 7 the signs on farms in this district which iwill prohibit hunting and trespassing we base this predic tion on the greatly increased number of signs which are going through our commercial printing department these days the reason for this trend is simple enough when one hears the incidents that are common place on the farms in this district and no doubt in many parts of ontario on one nearby farm a bullet crashed through the window of the honfe narrowly missing thehousewife there were of course no signs of the hunters who fired the bullet another farmer reports that last year a party of hunters kilted a deerandwereunabl to get a guaranteed investment canada savings bonds went on sale across the dominion last week for the tenth consecutive year it is worth considering the magnitude of these annual campaigns and the effects they have had on the buying habits of the nation since 1946 canadians have bought more than 4 billion worth of canada savings bonds just what in terms of purchasing power does this figure represent it would provide 333333 houses at art ave rage cost of 12000 or a substantial down pay ment on a considerably greater number- it would enable 1000000 young men and women to ob tain a college education at a cost say of 4000 each or it would supplement by 1000 for a tenyear period the annual income of 400000 people on retirement in actual practice of course canada savings thexarcass overfthe wire fence ihey cut the wires to make their task easy and left the fence unre paired herds of jersey cattle are not safe in the fields dyring the deer season and sometimes not even in the barnyard leaving gates open and breaking down fences are commonplace nuisances throughout the countryside nearly every farmer can recount experiences that justify the erection of signs pro hibiting hunting and trespassing the blame for these signs can be placed on those hunters who seem to have no regard for the property of others if an open season is to be of any value to hunters in this district and there are numerous deer in the locality the hunters will have to be more con siderate of the farm property an open season for deer is of little or no use if the farm lands are all to be posted we dont blame the farmers one bit for taking self protective measures a helpyourself age automation is a word that is appearing more and more frequently these days as well as the slogans to doityourself hobbies which are a popular trend perhaps it stems from the diffi culty experienced iri our life of today to get work men to do small jobs that need immediate atten tion perhaps again its a carryover of the slogan that was popular during the last world war give us the tools and well finish the job at any rate the trend turns up in many unex pected places in a barber shopnot a hundred miles from here we noted a modern electric shav er on the shelf and a convenient electric outlet a sign on the shaver offered the equipment for the use of customers at 20c per shave the reason was obvious the barber had all the work he could do cutting hair and offered the service to those at a moderate price to those who were waiting their turn some of us can recall the days when folks said the safety razors would put the barbers out of business we have today the vending machines which serve hot drinks and even meals as well as cigar ettes bottled drinks chewing gum and candy and ot course dial phones that are replacing many folks m various fields but still there seems a shortage of help automation has been with us ever since the days of the first gum dispensing machines its application broadens as the years roll on and more and more push button control willbecome familiar in our daily operations bonds are used for a composite of these and many other worthwhile goals probably a million end a half canadians have used them to meet f in- anical emergences of all kinds with the result that they have contributed to the average mans peace of mind from a statistical point of view canada savings bonds have been a major factor in maintaining a wide distribution of the public debt a feature which has always been deemed most desirable present ownership of canada savings bonds now constitutes about 1 3 per cent of the public debt economists forecast that sales of the 10th series bonds will be good they point out that employment in canada has recovered substant ially from the degree of slackness noticeable some months ago and is not only well above last years level but also above that for 1953 the best year on record whats in the wind this perky pup might well be asking as he stiffens his attention right down to the tender riose to the lee of the breeze maybe its another pup frolicking along in late octobers dead leaves or maybe its the master or mis tress with a dinnertime dish anyway whichever it is you can sense this fellow will be away on all fours in short order the bible rev g
