decoration day for many years has had a broader application m the country and is widely observed perhaps some day more and more townrwtttftnd it cfewn worth white it s surely not essential to pro claim a public hoi day because we don t be lieve the purpose would be as well served as th sunday service is here in early june we and many citizens in acton and dit trict and former residents find the annual observance of decoration day a most pleas nt and comforting occasion its continued success can only be assured by the public in lerest and attendance the leadership it there so next sunday make it a date to be on hand when we honor the memory and pay tribute to those who have down through the year worked and labored to build thu community and d strict just pause a mom em and reflect figures often confusing we are nof particularly proud of bur win- ning 10 on tv quiz program recently tha question was tlmpl and tha am war was published in our papers two weeks previous ly the question was what is heltons pre sent population our guess was 5000 out and yet we won the prize fortunately not many were interviewed but in a business in which questions are being constantly esked by the public we find references for accuracy are constantly necessary we marvel often at the glibness of many who can roll off figures in the millions an swer questions on many subjects with seem- ingly little consideration and we concluded long ago that our line was not on a quiz show unless we had reference material at hand our own shortcomings of knowledge on subjects dose at hand is shared by others too this helped to alleviate our feelings an editor we noted in another town advertised that over a century of service in printing had been rendered that community by the local papers which actually was not founded until i860 tn these days of big figures what does 10 years or 5 000 mean on any subject any way the general public is not too much con cerned in what year columbus discovered norlh america and greatly confused tn the billions of dollars quoted so often 15 y poll ticians business in two countries more older people canada s one of the younger nations of th world but t lie most highly developed countries m average age of population we are among the oldest declares the financial post the reason is simple thanks to bet ter rpedical care better food and better hy giene our people are living far longer than m the early days and far longer than people in primitive countries today thirty five years ago only 2 8 of our population were over 70 years of age m teen years ago it was 4o now it is almost five and that tells only part of the story because our population is growing the num ber of people in this over 70 group is grow tng too three quarters of a million today as against less than a quarter of a million m 1921 some excellent advice to american firms contemplating operating in canada was of fered by w o twaits executive vice presi dent of imperial oil in a rochester speech says the financial post the really important thing to realize mr twaits told his american listeners is that moving to canada is not merely the exten sion of existing business it is or should be regarded as the establishment of a new business a move to canada is not like establishing another branch m the united states warrved mr twaits canada is a different country while both nations are democratic they have arrived there by drastically different routes your canadian venture wth take xm n char acter of its own and when the home office insists on laying down the same rules for the branch in moosomm sask as it does for the one at tonawanda n y then the headaches multiply and the operation deteriorates and that new business he added should not only mean supplying the canadian mark et but eventually a large chunk of the interna tonal demand including the parent firm in the united states with all or al least a major part of its requirements of specific com ponents or completed products as a senior executive of a canadian firm thai has long been affiliated with a mapr u s corporation mr twaits says the post speaks from practical and successful exper ience american firms planning to cross the border can save themselves money head aches embarrassment by heeding his advice delinquent voters in the 1953 dominion election only 67 of every 100 eligible voters went to the polls this showing reflects a lack of apprecia tion on the part of many canadians of both their privileges and responsibilities under canada s parliamentary system of govern ment roughly one third apparently overlook the continuing significance of the long his tone struggle in england between parliament and throne from which the present form of parliamentary government evolved it would also seem that they are unaware of the equally long struggle between the people themselves and parliament which brought gradual widening of the franchise until now in canada every person 21 and over has the right to vote some of the fault may lie in education how can children who find history dull be expected to grow up with an understanding of the drama the violence and the heroism of the conflict between king atid parliament how can they appreciate the deep sense of conviction that led men on both sides to risk property and life for their beliefs men and women with an awareness of these things of the past will not let small modern obstacles or inconveniences keep ihem from the polls some folks stay home from sheer tndif frence they are doing all right they say end what does it matter to them who gov erns the country only a major issue or one that affects them personally will stir them to voting activity what it the solution some people f compulsory voting another way is a con tinuing process of education not only by political parties but also by individual men and women possessed of the abiding convict tion that to keep the ballot they must use it brief comment an election could be held quite success fully with less public utterance and fanfare butyilcould not be held without the work done bythat silent group which carry out the processes of the election act

does no good to have the finest alliens m the country offer their services if the elect ors do not choose them it does no harm if the worst nincompoops and gangsters are named dh the ballot if the voters are careful to vole against them by supporting men and women of principle and courage the sup remacy of parliament rests always m the hands of the voters cochrane ont north land post real
