day of this week perhaps it would not be out of place to look back on some of the activi ties the county has had this year most of which indicate the progress that must ac company a rapidly developing area one of the most recent projects has been an effort to organize some group that could coordinate the various official plans of muni cipalities there has been opposition to the engaging of a county planner and we feel this opposition well taken those con cerned with planning have already engaged consultants to formulate the thinking of local representatives but there is a need for the coordination or integration between border ing municipalities no doubt there will be turfhe activity on the planning committee proiect in 1957 when municipalitiesare asked to appoint their re presentatives a report on the hospital needs has been called for submitted and reviewed by counry council like most reports it didnt please everyone but it does indicate that sooner or later the county will be contribut ing on a grant bass to the hcsptals that may be established under the report the provi sion of health services has always found leadersh in halton and it s net unlikely that

systems has been emphasized usually in the summer monhs when a dry spetl occurs t a forecast pn urban requirements from 1956 to wsc indicates the daily demand for water will be 2 billion gallons compareo with today s 1 billion the provision of adequate water supplies will be a continuing challenge for municipal administrations as will be the need for ex panded sewage treatment facilities a new approach to travel publicity and advertising will be tried next year by the federal government the atlantic provinces where the tourist business represents a large share of the economy have been selected for the canadian government travel bureaus first zonal campaign designed to publicize the tourist attractions of a specific area until now the bureaus ads in united states newspapers and magazines have been aimed at attracting tourists to canada ads might containphotographs of tourist spots in various sections of the country but they were not always identified now as a result of a federalprovincial tourist conference the government has de cided to appropriate 300000 to publicize the beauty spots of the four atlantic provinc es thus increasing its annual publicity budget to about 1250000 it is the first time that such a zonal pro gram has been undertaken by the travel bureau hs campaign along with the pro posed expenditures by new brunswick nova scotia prince edward island and new foundland will bring to about 500000 the amount to be spent on atlantic travel pub licity the bureaus campaign will be concentrat ed in newspapers and magazines in states nearest the atlantic provinces because federal surveys show thats where the bulk of atlantic travellers come from they include the new england states new york new jer sey pennsylvania and the great lakes area none of the federal expenditures for the maritimes will b spent in canadian news papers and magazines theres much m canada that canadians havent seen and it is to be hoped this effort will encourage the stay at home attitude one of the immediate benefits could be a better informed people in their own country serious problem onetenth of the funds required by the ymca board of directors have been col lected following a doortodoor canvass the news report on the situation indicates the lack of active interest was a surprise as well as a disappointment to the board members tne campaign objective was set at 5000 the amount raised was 500 fin- ancial difficulty is not a new item on the agenda or m discussions of y boards of the past or present few communities the sie of acton can boast a ymca but this is one of acton s standout features its something none of the neighboring municipalities of comparable size can boast certainly the others have artificial ice arenas which are duly named community centres but no arena can match the true meaning of community centre better than acton s y one of the difficulties that might appear on the surface is the fact that few people are interested m participating in sports while many are interested in watching a few others do all tne work thus the need for seating accommodation becomes greater than the need for gymnasm space the canvass was complete and citizens in formed of the need if the sum collected is ecresentative ct the commynty interest the yboad problem j ecos is lett tac tg a serioos brief comment what are we going to do with

winters snow photo by esther rivu chronicles of ginger farm only cows fully contented by gwendoline i curke if it would do any good i would turn ill the calendars with ihoir faevs to the wall as 1 almost wilt when i think of how few days there are left before christmas and am i ready am i i leave you to guess and i started out with siieh ood intentions oh well you know how it is you feel that way every year and somehow or other when christmas day dawns you find your cards are all away presents bought and wrapped tree twinkling with colored lights and the christmas dinner with all the trimmings appears on the table without undue delay so 1 think ill remember that and forget what comes between now and that final hour it helps to do one job at a time and not to think of the work as a whole if ones intentions are good the re sult is usually satisfactory when 1 teel rushed with what i have to do i begin to think of how much more work i being done on other farms the turkeys chickens and geese that must bo picked and what a cold job that s ac cording t present market reports turkey prices may be a lttle lower ths year they may lx- but i horn not rver though we d have to buy a brd ourselves look at t this w iv supposing hf pr 7e fve cents t pound less that only makes a difference of e than a dollar to each indiv idual buyer but it would moan a loss f s2ov to the farmer more or less according to the size of his flock and that he can ill affoi considering his small margin of profit raising turkeys is a terrific gamble even with the must careful this sundays management they are delicate birds and subject to disease they must bo carefully watched at all t imes and t he cost of feed mg them is hirh and so folks if you are on the buying end dont begrudge the turkey raiser his price you wouldnt if you knew the work in volved believe me the same applies to eggs the price is very low compared with what it was a year ago yet the cst of feed and the work in ear mg for them is just the same we didnt buy any pullets this year but we still have a few yearling hens they laid well until a few weeks ago now they are having quite a time getting over the moult so what happens we dont want a lot of boarders around so if they dont get back to laying with in a reasonable time we eat em partner says if we keep up the present rate we shall soon start cackling but we havent got
