attention some of us can recall when the water fron one well would supply that neighbor hood following that it became necessary for eecrhom to have its own well and these were ouite- successful for many ye until the coming ef bathrsomsstsnd septic tanks on most every lot capacity of the tank pjyt a limit on the volume of itt used next came the installation of sewage disposal and a freer use of water more industries making large water consumers and then more new hom es larger public buildings new lawns and a greater strain on the water supply in many towns and cities in southern ontario each summer brings the annual water shortage problem and the constant need for more sources of supply even centres situated on the great lakes find a deficiency of pumping capacity even if there seems an abundance of water available to harassed councils in ontario comes a ray of hope for the future in the action being taken by the province to build huge mains from the great lakes to places some miles away the sire of the mains will need careful calculation to meet the needs of the future the present step by the pro vincial government will be watched with eager ness and expectance by towns and cities in the development of a remedy for short water supplies there will need be a period of some self denial and patience towns are finding their tax budget insufficient to meet all the de mand fortmrnefcliate correction the shortage of water invariably crops up in the hot dry days of summer nine months of the year the question is not so disturbing in meeting the problem there must be no waste in this three month period it may take years to solve but whether its through provincial or municipal or joint cooperation on the task of getting more water the cost is going to be met by those who are served there must be no abuse of the privileges if all are to be served there must be no waste in acton it was fortunate that at the installa tion of the waterworks system over 35 years ago the knowledge of limjted supply forced the ih- slallation of water meters on all services by this measure and this alone acton has had fewer water restrictions than many other towns in this way those who use the most water pay for any wastage and since water consumption also gov erns the cost of sewage disposal the general trend is against wastage of wafer acton requires more water to meet its needs but in the meantime cooperation of consumers is secured by a great elimination of thoughtless use we can recom mend the meter installation as an intermediate step to those towns in present water shortage difficulties take it easy it was rather terrifying to learn that drown ings in ontario in the summer months almost keep up with the fatalities of the highway and that most of the accidents are in the years be tween 16 and 25 years of age we know that its a great temptation to get the most out of a vaca tion or a short holiday at the beach we realize its great to feel the exhilaration of the great out- ofdoors and the freedom from the routine of the years iti difficult to keep the foot off the accelerat or and tempting to forget the need of a brake as the summer great outofdoors unfolds oh short or long holidays but the beauty of the beach the allurement of the lake can be as dangerous as the highpowered car experience has shown that being smart on the highway can be disastrous to manage so also can being smart in the water be disastrous to not only yourself but to many others just take it easy and have this summer bring nothing but pleasure for your holiday or vacation this year and many more years to come remember your are but human and humans can err the permanent waves that last jongest are those in some of the highways arthur ont enterprise news keeping

list of newspapers that have their own engraving processes and feature the news in picture and word for many years onlyrie large city dailies had their own engraving plants the process was too costly and complicated for many small dailies to install and maintain the development of elec tronic engraving has how eliminated this diffi culty we have watched its growth since the close of the war for the past two or three years most of the pictures appating each week i the free press have been made on a scanagraver we now feel- that the time has arrived when it can be of sufficient use to be added to our equip ment we know readers and advertisers are go ing to enjoy the new wider field of community service it will give pictures are now a big feature of newspaper publication and we believe will become more important in the printing and pub lishing field of the future its been a long way from that two dollar brownie camera to the modern methods of tor day both in equipment and the financial aspect of printed pictures of today weve enjoyed every phase of it we are happy to bring the first photo engraving machine into service in halton just as 38years ago we put into operation the first type setting machine in the county both are marvels of the machine age and are fantastic in their operation the news stories will tell more about the latest of the wonders of this mechanical age in the printing and publishing field no charge at present those who are interested in high school ed ucation in north halton would read with interest the report presented to halton county council last week by the consultative committee which has given the matter careful consideration it is always good to seek out the facts and present them to the public so often an issue is confused by the lack of familiarity with all the facts so often conclusions are reached by listening to rumor rather than study ei the situation perhaps it would be well to provide an examination of the situation periodically we hope the report will be studied by all interested citizens in a section of the country that is developing as fast as halton the changes come so rapidly that it may be advisable as the committee sug gests to reassess the high school district in two years when the north halton district was form ed about eight years ago only two schools form ed the district if was after two years of opera tion that georgetown school came into the dis trict when formed a total enrolment for the district was estimated at 4o0 pupils whereas to day the three schools serve double that qurnber new buildings and classrooms have been built to keep up with the growth no one in those forma tive years was able to foretell present needs no one can surely predict the trend of the next five ears the district in the years it has been in opera tion brought new advantages to the students of this day it h been more economical from a municipal standpoint and tax requirement than any previously available it may well be that growth of the future will require further adjust ment but for the present the arrangement seems to be best suited and the committee after their study has recommended the continuance of the plan for the next two years at least brief comment from here on the hours of daylight will start to decrease saving of daylight has had its peak june hasw provided variety in weather this year extremes of heat and cold and a mix ture of moderation has been packed into its first three weeks what the outcome of the commission on broadcasting may be we have no idea but per haps it might not be a bad idea to have two government corporations one jo regulate the general rules under which all stations are govern ed arid the other to provide higher class entertain ment that
