because past experience has shown that not many ratepayers want to go into the de tails the booklet is available to ratepayers who ask for it at the municipal offices weve often wondered why more ratepayers do not use the tacts about their town instead of the loose hear say that is so often handed out a rather interesting we found was the fact that in the past- year the council budgerted for a sur plus of 4649 and the actual surpliis for the year was 6985 some other governments who deal in millions might make note of this when giving out their tax levies the total expenditure for the town last year was 27573354 and of this emount 21313433 was raised from taxation if you are interested in the future you might take a look at the debenture pages and be en couraged to note that the last of the debentures in effect at the end of 1 955 will be cleared away by 1975 this year it will take 87620 for deben ture charges and 49600 of that amount is paid off principal and interest will amount to 38020 in 1975 the principal paid off will be 1900 and the interest down to 8 1 you can find out about the various municipal costs in the public utilities the schools the ceme tery board the free

on a fin- ancial basis and gain an even greater apprecia tion of the work of municipal officials balking along the way everyone expresses a desire for tax cuts it can be taken for granted that such a move finds unanimous approval but the method of getting them often meets with widespread disapproval recently a canadian airbase was ordered closed down as being of no further use at pre sent six thousand people were- reported to have signed a petition of protest a few days later manufacture of a certain type of plane was dis continued again a protest against the cut in ex penditure of public funds on this machine this week if was announced that canada had made a gift of several planes to germany must have had more than we needed so perhaps it was just as well to slow down production for a while l its 1 1 years now sjnce the close of hostilities surely its time that the conferences and peace talks that have followed should be showing some ejffects in leading to a world at peace just this week indications are that britain yvill -culitsex- penditures on war materials in order to reduce its taxation load there haye changes in the past 1 years it is to be hoped there will be rriany more in the years ahead and more of therri leading to world peace if the world and the people who populate it are to survive there must be a means other than war to adjust differences of opinion and

organiza tion they represent but there are ways to great er efficiency than weather and holiday discus sions with casual callers sundayandprolits sunday law is meant to ensure to the people the benefits of sunday and neither its purpose ror its effect is to impose distasteful duties upon anyone the annual report of the lords day alliance just published makes this statement but also goes on to say that without law how ever sunday privileges would rapidly disappear the lords day alliance contends that such a disappearance would come about not because of eny wish of the majority but rather by the lack of concern on the part of a greedy minority their desire to increase financial profits rather than to ian promote human welfare if unrestrained by law would turn sunday into another day of business every time we recall the hot weather of last summe we are thankful for the moderate tem- perat of this year more people in home market up to only a few years ago points out the financial post canada had to have a big export of beef cattle in order to keep the domestic mar ket healthy now we are producing more beef than ever before but we are eating all of it ourselves cat tle are coming on the canadian markets at the rate of around 33000 a week and canadians are consuming them all before the war whenever the weekly run approached the 20000 mark or less than twothirds of today prices began to sag there are two reasons why we are eating more beef more prosperity and more people with moderate prices people are eating beef freely and regularly not just occasionally but more important is the fact that we have more people almost 16 millions compared with less than 12 millions prewar and all that increase and more has been in urban population in food con sumers not food producers it is that growth in population that growth in the domestic market that is solving many of our former farm marketing problems and popula- tiongrowth will continue to solve these prob lems provided we are sensible and let prices and prduction follow their natural courses aside from wheat in which canada is a major world producer practically everything the farmer will be growing 25 years from now will be absorbed by the domestic market brief comment we dont like the man who has his secretary call yon and then keep you waiting presumably so he wont lose any time himself but overlook ing the fact

situation is startlingly reminiscent of ancient rome farmers advocate glad to note that ontarios minister of educa tion has turned thumbs down on adding an auto driving course to the already overcrowded school program better to have more proficiency in the present course than a smattering of miscellaneous knowledge before any person- makes an agreement or parts with any cash to outside

general secretary of the korean bible society mr im has decided that bibles must be taken to the people if he reasoned people could not afford bibles be cause they could not dispose of their produce this itself could be come the barter with which they might secure- them the korean bible society is associated with the british and foreign bible society this is the policy of the latter al so his method is to load trucks with bibles testaments and gospels as these are unloaded along the way the same means of transport ation returns almost filled with bushels of rice baskets of eggs peas soybeans and sesame mr im feels he is providing a double service by meeting the farmers desire for bibles and their lack of opportunity for dispos al of their crops mr ims activity shows the strik ing contrast between the situation today and the time in 1882 when the first korean translation of the bible was made then it meant death for anyone to possess or cir culate the scriptures suggested
