had r sen to 48 currently it stands at s64 when tuch stat it cs are reviewed the question that mev lably comes to m nd is whether the increase in dollari is a true measure of the betterment of living stand erdt or whether rising prices have not can celled out most or all of the gain pictured in the charts kept m careful detail by the gov ernment s corps of statisticians the gam in dollars cannot be questioned but the gain in purchasing power may be different the real measure of wealth is not money says the fort erie times review dollars are but a token a yardstick of the recompense that a worker receives in return for he out put of his energy augmented by his exper tence or training or native talent plus his willingness to accept responsibility the real measures of wealth is the amount of goods or services that may be obta ned in return for a worker s output on that realistic basis the canadian worker desp te the effects of m flation and its attendant price increases has been faring well a survey has been made of prices over the five year 1951 1956 period m terms of the worktime cost ot several staple com modi t es the un t of measurement is the number of minutes of work required of a canadian manufacturing employee to purchase the par ticular items a few examples will suff cc to measure the trend for a pair of nylon hos iery the cost in worktime between 1951 and 1956 decreased from one hour and 24 mmut es to 49 minutes cost of a pound of round steak decreased from 51 minutes to 32 mm utes cost of a dozen large eggs decreased from 41 minutes to 28 minutes cost of a man s woollen suit decreased from 53 hours and 43 minutes to 42 hours and 39 minutes cost of a one poundhoaf of bread decreased from six minutes to five minutes cost of a haircut decreased from 39 minutes to 35 mm utes a question is asked with the highways department safety league the attorney general s cjepartment and the general public all clamoring for morecare and safety on our highways people and of ficials of halton county are confused and dumbfounded at the recent letter sent to them stating the magistrate would not levy fines on motorists who are travelling at under 40 miles m towns and villages except m certain areas and at certain times halton county has been a pioneer m many phases of provincial government ex penmentation can it be we are to be the guinea ptgs for a new trial of increasing speed orthe highways perhaps you have noted the number of reported accidents in whichil is stated the car went out of con trol it has happened so many times that it is becoming a stock phrase for cases of speed where the speed cannot be determined or proven against the driver what s the dif ference anyway because usually the driver is dead anyway but to get back to halton and its special speed law what s going to be done about it municipalities have written the attorney general s department seeking the answer they deserve at least a reply to their prob lem is the same thing going on throughout the whole province we know that halton wilh its many through highways is one of the most heavily travetted in the province magistrates are appointees of the provinc ial government in some of halton s towns to a the police is it a double policy if itis then we shoutd scrap a lot of our high way signs and change the ontario statutes the ontario government knows of the situa- tlon it hasbeen broughtoulj attetjer to pufcillc official from magistrate langdon whatt the antwer from the leadert of our province pleaie no more whitewashes but a decisive reply to this one lets hold what we have we visited acton park on the weekend and went amazed at the number wherf ind ita facilities enjoyable we counted over 200 cars m the park at one time and they were from all sections of the province many of them with boat trailers with its ten acres of fine ground and its 85 acres of water sur rounding it is small wonder that it proves at tractive for young and old flenty of facilities too and atj at no cost or restriction 1o all who come cars were able to go at most any speed around th4 dusty road picnic tables were free for first come there were no restrictions at the bathing beach the ball diamonds were available for whatever groups wanted them the waste containers could be used or i tier ust scattered about but there were other th ngs noticeable tccn the kdd ls pool had no wate in it the doors on the arena were all open and somft i ui j by nf h r ye tie bandstand at the pvk entrance wis badly out of repair the jrt dlrtfd and lie jiebsikj helufl at the halt y i each were gone the p irs of sand are renlly more than are required by children vho i ke to play on land noed and the machi nery rej os tory dors not add to the parks beauty ever not ce w unused buildings soon go to wreck that s not the case with acton pork it s used and abused apparently there is no ma ntenance program of what we hove we know the problemsof municipal finances and the queslion of being able to maintain such a place or all who care to come sooner or later the problem will have to be faced not by a small group of willing workers but the town as a whole acton park ts deteriorating ii can be helped by more supervision ot what we have and moderate maintenance end more police supervision and enforcement of the signs which are posted there were two great men perhaps we shoqld preface this item by e famous saying accredited to the late will rogers i only know what i read in the news papers there have been many things happen ihis june and particularly on and after the 1 0th of the month of course there were more lhan two men involved but two of them hove been n the spotlight the leaders of the two parties who emerged so close a lot of things un expected by both john diefenbakt r and louis st laurent have occurred wh ch neither of them had nntinpated how did they react lo tt cse unlorsecn circumstances it took courage for mr diefenbakcr fb accept the challenge to form a government with so slim a margin it took quick action and an alerlmind to accept the members he had most of them with little experience and put together a cabrnet it took a lot of hustle lo make plans to get ready for the prime minister s conference and get away on time it took a lot of patience to pacify all the new members and others m a short time and make the changes which had to come quickly right or wrong none can help but admire him for his ready acceptance of the challenge pre sented and his shouldering of the heavy re sponsibilities of the high office of prime minister of canada it also took courage and graciousness for mr st laurent to step down so readily from hts high office and clear the way for the vic tor to take over the reins in two previous elections he had been the wide choice of the canadian people by a majority that had been criticized as being too heavy he had served canada well and with dignity no scandal had been raised by any of his opponents in the operations of the government yet with only five members difference he acknowledg ed the will of the maonty and bowed out to the ma0nty canad ans may well feel proud of the leaders of the two maior parties in the recent elect ons in victory and defeat qualities they have shown have been exemplary canadans may took forward to the future with confidence there art other men some cjreat and some svnall the days ahead will test their courage and their graciousness as they meet the trials of victory and defeat these are great days for testing leadership and the first phase must make canadians justifiably proud of those who serve the good old days back in 1937 fake fraaa tsve um the free frees taaraday jan j iw7 on monday morning scoutmast er george uuon and actons three king
