thursday nov 8th 1956 just two minutes two minutes just two minutes to re member so much two minutes on sunday to remember the sacrifice the service the bitter struggles of men and nations to pre serve our way of freedom our understanding of democracy a our existence wvas challenged our free dom and that of other countries was under attack when many left the small towns and cities the little villages and hamlets the farms and crossroads when they left they didnt know what lay ahead but there wasnt time to ask too many questions or take too many precautions they were needed and that was it just two minutes to remember in time of war the people at home are not without fear bitterness sadness and a feel mg of emptiness mothers and fathers broth ers and sisters wives and sweethearts were left and too often that terse telegram bore the tragic news just two minutes to remem ber friendships were formed in the closeness of men living with men in distant lands or on the home ground friendships grew from the companionship of being linked in the same struggle being sent to do the same ob and the teamwork that resulted was something that released new force too often the links f fiorr4ihip wort vrph a raw membexs of the team died in the bitter struggles just two minutes to remember t there is so much to remember as last post is sounded and heads are bowed on sunday who can remember all the sacrifice the sorrow and the suffering who can re member the victory for freedom to which so many contributed perhaps as the notes of reveille are trumpeted we may lift our heads and recall that age shall not weary them nor the years condemn at the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them not a dark situation one of the annual complaints of the many that can be heard from time to time in acton s council chamber is the lack of ade quate or proper lighting on this street or that this corner or anstffer corner currently council has for several months intended a survey of all town lighting with a view to improving or increasing where neces sary the survey has yet to be made no doubt considered of secondary importance to the raft of complaints and protects all de manding immediate attention with which this year s council has had to contend so while there are no doubt corners and curbs in acton which could take a little more light the situation is not entirely dark extension of new sidewalks on mill street during the past year has been companioned by erection of high steel standards from which hang globular lamps they are of the same type already installed on mill streets central blocks and certainly do not detract from the appearance of acton s commercral district lighting improvement is not confined to the commercial area in the towns two large subdivisions glen lea and lakeview the town and puc wisely insisted on steel street lighting standards and installation of hydro service poles at the rear of the homes there has been some criticism from glenlea that the lights are not strong enough this may be so however if the taxpayers there and else where are willing to pay more on the yearly lighting service cost council would no doubt be happy to put in higher wattage bulbs improvement of town street lighting is necessary ust as improvement of other municipal services is necessary as time wears on them or growth forces change in that respect complaints are reasonably found ed but its difficult for council and its ern- l up s and i should hardly he found in a nation and although the actions of the hon les ter pearson and his fellow delegates evoke pride they are implicit with consequence despite daring heavy with seriousness des pite drama these actions could mean the end of the middle east disruption or could con ceivably prod the eruption of world war iii in placing before the u n a plan for a police command in the middle east mr pearson did so with the imminent approval of the government of this country the police command it was carefully noted would not be manned by any troops of the united king dom soviet russia france or the united states canadians heard this resolution for a u n police force overwhelmingly accepted in the earyl hours of monday mornings emergency session of the u n general assembly they also heard a canadian general e m burns named to command the force not one coun try voted against it although several includ ing france great britain and russia abstained on the vote such a vote outcome in itself puts further emphasis on the consequential character of the proposal the united states is pressing that cana das proposalsupported in sponsorship by columbia and norway be activated as quick ly as possible this to disturbed opposition from britain and france in a few days then canada has taken ad vance guard role in u n attempts to reduce the middle east crisis the role has its aspect of incongruity canada has experienced the shrugoff been at times disregarded as a protege of britain or discounted as a skirttrailer to the u s now america fans support for canadas lead and great britain in the confounding position of having been branded an aggres sor in the u n finds u is not with or against the motherland but expressing its own course of leadership toward abetting a solution of portentious events in egypt this iy a time in history for responsible statesmanship it is a moment in time when canada emerging as a great nation is show ing the world it possesses and will provide responsible statesmanship for our senior citizens more than once on sunday when halton centennial manor staff residence was opened did the phrase occur halton can be proud of the care it is giving our senior citizens we think the phrase is justified as we re- toured the manor building with its gleaming corridors attractive furnishings and pleasant location the staff residence that was opened is in harmony with the residence in all those lespects this building we were told will house the superintendent and about 20 staff members leaving additional accommodation in the manor itself for more women- and some married couples but lest we feel too smug and complacent about all those lovely buildings and attractive landscaping perhaps it should be pointed out that this is no more thansenior citizens of halton should be able to look forward to they have made their contribution to the life and development of halton and to their respective municipalities if this country is to keep pace morally and spiritually with its in dustnal and residential development then it must show signs of caring for others the construction improvement and en largement of halton centennial manor would we hope give true indication of this county s desire for a well balanced program of de velopment and improvement ployees to make this improvement along with al the others immediately drivers in the fog for nights during the past week treacher ous blankets of fog hung over most of south ern ontario driving under irs best condi tions a steady challenge to the province s in creasing number of motorists is nearly at its worst in this part of the country sustained fogginess is not a common condition for that we can be thankful daily papers have dozens of stories lately where accidents some of them fatal have apparently been contributed to or caused by the fog but it isnt the fog that causes these mishaps in the greatest maonty of accident cases it is the failure of the driver to decrease his speed increase his caution and generally ad just his driving to the condition of weather and highway this observation is not original by any means police safety workers and in surance companies have been attempting to din it into the conscience of motorists for years the man who stands to benefit fully is the one who drives a car andfhats you and me staff phots lest we forget chronicles of gin farm x troubles here and abroad by gwendoline p clarke it is a little difficult these days to keep ones thoughts concentrat ed on ordinary everyday affairs of their own volition they go wandering off to the middle east to hungar to nova scotia and to a little village not far from here where striking truck drivers put on an active demonstration re sulting in the loss of a leg to a policeman on duty and all last week we had mild foer weather which was any thing but cheerful and most of the problems are with us vet as far as the middle east is concern ed no one can foresee the outcome the same applies to hungar wo can onl hope that eentuall act ion b
