while special days and weeks grow in numbers each year some attention will soon have to be given to consolidation in the near future every ten years the various provincial laws en acted must be revised and consolidated and the time might come soon that there will be a need for consolidation of our special days no one would be so daring as to suggest what day or days should be eliminated no father would hear of eliminating mothers day end no mother of course would entertain the idea of eradicating fathers day of course the family would never listen to stroking off either cf thse days perhaps a move to consolidate might be to add another special day and make a family day when members of the family might have a second christmas day in miniature each year when they could honor each other with gifts and tributes cards flowers etc of course in order to be crowded in the cal endar such a day must needs fall in midyear just after recovery from last christmas and with a lepse of time before preparation for next christ mas aaaybe we should never have put this sug gestion in print instead of consolidation it might j lead to addition of another special sunday but we do believe mothers and dads would give ap proval to the suggestion and we cannot see why family members should not agree but according to present day custom next sunday is fathers day and whether its embarras sing or not dad has the pedestal this year again in midjune an everyday parade read in one of our exchanges during the week where a parade was being planned to in augurate cleanup week its a surefire meth od of getting attention to have a parade most people enjoy such an event and it does focus at tention after the parade has gone by find the music of the bands dies away we often wonder if the spirit of enthusiasm does not wane as quickly as it has been stirred up after the parade has pas sed what becomes of the empty cigarette carton where do you dispose of the cigar- butt what do you do with the candy wrapper or the discard ed program the other day we watched a group of boy scouts at one of their events aaany a time weve watched them after a few days camping or out ing they hold the best kind of cleanup parade we knpw of it spreads across the grounds and svery boy gathers the litter in his path its ef fective and a part of- scout routine its a fine demonstration of individual and team effort we can alltake in- v cleanup parade every day by being tidy in the disposal of the lit ter we create our town will be more tidy and the roadsides more beautiful if we are all good scoutsjust think the next time before you throw litter from the car window be a good outofdoors housekeeper heiwy traffic the paving activity on no 7 indicates that the heavy traffic on this artery wears out quickly and indicates that no 7 carries a big load every year it seems to require patching of a variety which comes in pieces so large oftimes the patches seem to be almost the whole original this means that the sections in town carry a load that is largely through traffic ths year the section in this district has re ceived early summer attention and will be in con dition whether that is good for the acton rare- payer is a question sometime in the not too dis tant future- through highways will bypass most of the towns many of them- will be glad of free- d from through traffic as long as a good road into town is maintained actons main streets are now tjadly congested with traffic just how far would have to go from town now is a big causation what used to be all countryside

in can adian daily papers screamed about the debates and furore in the canadian parliament after the matter had calmed down and some of the fire had gone from the anger the house of commons was hushed and adjourned when a prominent mem ber was suddenly stricken ana died the scene shifted at weekend to the illness of the president of the united states when he had to undergo an emergency operation we often won der if the public concern is a humanitarian sym pathy for the individuals who hold office or the fact that elections may be in the offing and the opportunity the electors will have to gain ad vantage for their favorite party with so many means of rapid mass com munication today the headlines can shift easily from those in public affairs in canada and the united states to europe and even to monaco in every country there are men who are in the pub lic eye and must needs carry a great burden its a burden that takes a heavy toll fortunate in deed are a people who have men with shoulders broad enough to carry the load which is often lopsided with criticism and so lacking in kind ness aavflva remember thos e tvwwvwwvw back in 1936 builtin power a little over a 100 years ago there was
