working against odds citizens gnra1ly will wftkom th fad that acton arena will apparently be oparal irtg this year even though the budget is causing some concern those wrio would be expected to ap plaud the operation most loudly are the dozens of youngsters who will be playing hockey and skating there strangely enough this appreciation seems rather shallow with some damage done by vandals at the arena recently included breaking the rear doors tearing off a sheet of the new siding and leaving lights burn ing it has been quite sufficiently pointed out that necessary repairs following the col lapse of the curling rink roof left only about 500 in the operating budget for the arena there have been many expressions of concern about the future of the arena but somewhere along the line this information has failed to penetrate the thinking of the vandals who still find expression in destruc tion it is not difficult to appreciate the prpb lem town fathers face in balancing budgets keeping taxes to a minimum and still ope rate all the desired facilities in the face of wasteful vandalism the big d fficulty is in getting th mes sage and the problem in front of those who choose to destroy rather than build certainly editorials wont roach them but perhaps somewhere nlono the line parents can get the point across that the waste is one thflt cant continue if the arena is to continue in a community like acton we can t af ford to adopt the who cares philosophy so prevalent in modern thinking no com munity was ever built or ever maintained on that kind of thinking we all care whether the arena operates and similarly we re unhappy when some one cares to destroy our property let s find that line of communication and reach those who haven t yet adopted their olp of citizenship a board decision the decision as to whether the new pro gram of driving instruction for schools is to be adopted lies with local high school boards the course has been drawn up by the department of transport and that department will supply text books and certain mechani cal equipment the course would be con jjucjed outside of regular school nours and be voluntary boards who participate receive grants from the department of education on the same basis as the department now pays to wards night school quite basically were opposed to clut tenng up school curnculums with more and more subjects but this is clearly m a field by itself its almost necessary for survival in this highly mobilized age like most problems however it is not one that can be overcome by a yes it s a good idea all instructors in the course have to be licensed by the department of transport and that after having completed a course as far as we know no qualified instructor is available in the local high school if the board did decide to offer the course it is something to plan for however the sooner we can get a generation mentally and physically prepared for proper and safe dr vmg the sooner well cut the needless waste of lives and dollars on our canad an highways mm which way to move building for municipalities in this day and area of progress chang ng municipal boundaries changing uses and increasing facilities presents its problems as the building committee of county council is aware faced originally with finding accom modation for expanding county admmistrat ive offices the building committee and county council have now been advised by the halton law association that new quarters are also required for the administration of justice in their brief to county council last week the lawyers reported en architect had de dared renovations of the present stone budding to accommodate just ce admmistra ton alone impractical there ere many ftfetors to indicate the eventual result of it all will be a complete relocation of county facilities to a 10 acre taken for granted we often take for granted those things that are almost automate me i ng facilities ere a classic example the post office plays a vital role n modern day bus ness and com mun cation yet how seldom we give it much thought actually th s year marks the tercentenary of the birth of the british post office with the passage of the charles ii act of 1660 es lebl shmg the general letter office although the carrying and delivering of letters is an ancient occupat on there are several references to it in the bible it was not unt i 1935 that charles i put the del very of mail on a regular footing in britain he made i possible for the great public to send their letters almost anywhere in fng land and wales by h s post boys provided that the postal costs depend ng on the we of the letter and the d stance carr ed were paid the post boys carr ed the letters on horseback trom post office to post off ce they did not collect them from letter boxes or deliver them at houses the c tizen of those days had to take h s letter to the post off ce or send t there by messenger the good old days iack in 1910 jrltii ei it mi iack in

is a natural evolu tion but before such an extens ve and ex pensive course is settled on the boundary turmoil in the county should be a great deal more settled amalgamation of oakville and sections of trafalgar the already existing big town burlington are factors that can weigh heav ily on the future of halton county eleva tion of one of these to city status would drastically affect halton s taxing areas the way is not clear cut or the deci sion easy on the direct on in wh ch the building committee of county council should move the already approved order for preliminary sketches of a building to
