av ilsvirtfn v vvvv w jyl wtfjv v some expert recommendations if acton council threw up its collective hands in desperation we honestly wouldnt blame them np ifs not because theyre having a rough tussle with the budgctthats an au nual event no its not because the cur ling rink roof caved inthats ust one of those acts of god wrjat were all worked up about is the recommendations council receivedno not recommendations either they re hard facts the department of highways plans to re commend to someone else in thfr depart ment that the speed limit in town be raised 10 40 miles per hour in several sections two of them very close to school crossings their reason for this action is that no one observes the 30 mile limit so it should be 40 so less people will break thsjow a second reason fs that pedestrians will be aware of how fast cars will travel so they re more inclined to stay out of the road the 40 mile limits in the town will be at the three main highway approaches from the east limit to the aax corner charlie han sen will likely have more and more cars on his front verandah from the south limit to the bottom of the cemetery hrll and no side walk in the area for the pedestrians from the west limit to the highway garage almost on top of the school crossing but probably the most infuriating bit about the whole thing is the recommendation that no stop and go traffic signal is necessary at the mill and mam corner representatives from the department surveyed the scene atidomsedhocahoffidetshetmelmikeli hood a signal would be recommended be cause of the amount of traffic one citizen was assured in a letter a signal would be installed what is the plan to solve the traffic tangle that develops jt that corner a red flashing light facing main st south a yellow flashing signal facing mam st north a red flashing signal facing mill st west and a yield sign facing mjjl st east with no light no parking would be allowed on the north side of mill st east for one block on the south side of mill st east for 110 feet on mill st west for 60 feet either side on mam st south for 45 feet and on mam st north for 75 feet with recommendations like this there seems little hope the newspapers of the country will ever be able to drop their safe driving pleas and we wouldn t blame the council if they threw up their collective hands and let the province run the town completely educa lions costs debenture payments and the whole traffic tangle they re building up an insidious growth there is an increasing amount of passive resistance and lack of conviction in this modern progressive age morals are more and more determined on the basis of what the other fellow does or what we can get away with than on what is legal and what s right tdday unfortunately seems to be the age where it s smarter to break the law in minor ways than abide by it unless we get caught it s the day of exceeding the speed limit and watching in the rear view mirror to be sure we re not followed by an enforcement offic er it s the day of trying to beat the income tax authorities it s the smart thing to do what is right and what is wrong has con verged into a lack of clear definition a muddled conception our morals lack the iviction the clarity they re in a muddled grey haze a television show is revealed as ft farce and not a congest of skill its ceniral figure and big winner is praised because af ter unsuccess ully evading the sufcect through several deceits he confesses in ear lier days when convictions were stronger and morals more defined he might have been horsewhipped companies laugh at laws that restrict publication of brand liquor advertising and seek ways to skirt the lawthe sale of lottery tickets is illegal but how many of them are sold and because they are sold we press governments to legalize them our only defense when we re confronted with the situations is to conclude there s real ly nothing wrong with it our point here is- not to deal with any single hem but the whole general insidiousness of the growing evasion of law there is a growing trend of bending the law to suit our purposes rather than our purposes to suit the law were ail guilty but is there anygoptt that our convictions will gain sufficient de ftnttton to dfverrthe present trend lsthen any hope that our resistance will become any less passive or are we all too comfortable and too satisfied with the status quo between the lines it will never be a best seller unfortun ately but the governments newest blue book makes very instructive reading the 600page volume details the departmental estimates the money the various depart ments want to spend in the twelve months ending march 31 1961 and what they want to spend it on the total with old age pen sions costs added in comes to 6 330 168 920 even at that the report from ottawa is that the treasury board the finance committee of the cabinet chaired by the minister of finance tr rimed 300 million off the amount asked by the departments the sums involved in what might be cl led housekeeping itemi show ust how big an enterprise the federal government has become picture if you can how much 22 million will buy m the way of stationery desks typewriters and other office equip ment and supplies or how much travelling itenjs of of government employees and servicemen and their dependents and moving of their household goods will be paid for with 67 million or how much telephone telegraph and other communications service will be covered by a bill for 22 million the above are only minor government spending and only a few of the minor items the maor items cover such things as public debt interest at 774 million a civil service payroll of 748 million more than half a billion dollars to each of family allowance and old age security pensions 229 million for ships aircraft fighting ve hicles and weapons for national defence a perusal of the blue book is likely to leave aseader with contradictory thoughts the oheris how difficult rt must be for a member or a house committee to put a finger on a particular spot where extravagance or waste might exist distinctively canadian tourists in canada from other countries must be appalled at the lack of originality used in preparing menus seldom in our tra vels have we ever seen an item such as pan cakes and canadian maple syrup its the season for thinking about maple syrup and nothing is more surely canadian prior to the arrival of white men in canada the indians made maple syrup and sugar each spring when the tap began to flow n the trees according to legend they discov enfd its properties when one of their squaws uted the sap instead of spring water m which to boil venison we noted recently an article claiming that only the lower quality grades of syrup were offered for sale n most stores and restaurants while th s is d scourag ng there is no doubt that pr ce is a factor and while production of maple products has rema ned fairly constant un ted states buyers lake more and more of our product on to aug ment their dwmdl ng supply there is a tremendous amount of work involved in producing maple syrup it is worthy of top flight promot on by restaurants and stores who care enough for the r cus tomecs to provide the best we have no doubt that a tour st n can ada would welcome the knowledge that t wes canadian maple syrup he was eat ng the
