sditvufilp a logical location approval tor th bower avt tile of a rww pott office- tawrnt a highly logical declilon on tht pad of acton oundl tht fit prttantly proposed would in elude the old storey glove factory at the corner of alice and bower ave the corner lot location would seem advantageous perhaps more important however would be ihe relief it could afford some of the mill st traffic problems at noon hour some school children who pick up the mail on the way home wouldn t be obliged to cross mill st that is already busy with highway 7 through traffic there is a convenient route from the station to the site along bower ave from the tracks with pavement on all streets it is as conducive to locate on a tide street as on the main street traffic problems wltl certainty not am be eliminated if the post office is located on the bower site speeding along the straight road it already a problem it does seem however that some street parking will be available on both sides of the street without narrowing the travelled portion of the road too much there will no doubt be disadvantages to the site but that will be the case in any chosen it does however seem to overcome some of the major difficult of congestion and traffic harards council s action in approving the site seems quite logical a familiar place every municipality in ontario and most in canada would like to attract more mdus try the reasons are simple economic facts industry and commerce help cut the share of the municipal revenue that the home owner has to provide while requiring less in the way of schools and other services the startling thing about it all is that so many citizens know so few of the answers that they might conceivably be asked about their town this is the kind of information that pti zens need to know to be town boosters too tttoeasy jcubecfttical but it does require some effort to be constructive ust as it requires some effort to know the answers about a town for instance a booklet distributed by the department of planning and development asks how well do you know your mumcip ality and proceeds to outline some pertinent questions what is the population how many per sons on the police force what type of fire alarm system is in operation what type of water source is used what is the average daily water consumption in gallons what is ihe cycle of the hydro power what is the bftis for assessment are there any special tax concessions for local industry what por tion of the mill rate goes to education what it the total enrollment and how many schools are there in town is there a planning board an industrial commission what is the average residential assessment are customs facilities available is the community serviced by bus and tram service what- truck transport facilities are available what are the names of the unions presently in the municipality are there any empty industrial buildings in the community certainly some of the questions seem facetious but they are questions anyone could logically be asked in everyday out of town conversation knowing ones community can be vital and everyone in a community who feels industrial development important should be playing on the industrial com mission team to achieve the maximum more life in history canadian novelist hugh maclennan in a recent article says canada has one of the most colorful histories in the world yet history book writers make it the dullest subect on the student s curriculum maclennan proposes a single book with each chapter a brief vivid life story of a great canadian the story of how canada once a colony became the first nation on earth to achieve responsible government without a revolution can be told in the life of a single dramatic figure joseph howe the story of how the dominion evolved into the commonwealth can be reed in the life- story of sir john a macdonald the story of peter pond alone in a cabin so cold his ink froze drawing the first map of northwest america tells a young person more about canada than ten pages of statistics ob 3vious the theory that increased government spending is the avenue to a country s con tinued economic expansion currently popular in some quarters as a quick solution to un employment found at least one dissenter at the annual conference of the atlantic pro vinces economic council in this dissenting opinion gradual tax reductions offer more certain aid to economic growth the speaker was dr charles f phillips president of maine s bates college and head of new england body that corresponds to the apec government spending programs said dr phillips have only a temporary influence and lead to unbalanced budgets high taxes and inflation what we need is not a temporary stimulus but a long range plan to promote econom c growth without inflation nothing would be as effect ve as a gradual reduction in corporation and per sonal taxes lower prices were also advocated by dr phillips as a means of aiding the growth that government and business for acceptance of would ease unemployment he cnt c zed both union demands that increased productiv ty must always be reflected m h gher wages if the improvement in output were shared w th the consumer through lower prices he sa d benefits the acton free press published by the dills printfaif and publishing co ltd founded in 1875 and published everv thurtdas at

with a more interesting recording of the facts anyone who has ever written history becomes so involved in their subect they can think of little else this is the at traction of history the chronological listing of facts is difficult to overcome yet in many historical books in this area the history has been recorded interestingly and in terms of people rather than dates just as maclennan proposes a book on canadian history so every community in canada should have a group of volunteers interested m recording the history and pre serving it for an interesting retelling as the history that laid the foundation for canada lost markets at home and abroad could be regained in particular he blamed escalator clauses in union contracts that gear wage increases to increases in productivity dr phillip s advice may be unpopular with some but it s not unsound as govern ments spend more they must tax and borrow more both of wh ch restrict growth in the truly productive sector of the economy on the other hand tax reductions that would leave more capital available for inve nt could foster mdustr al expansion and ex id development of resources and the benefits to all including organ zed
