ing if out in his inougurol address to acton council on tuosclay of last weak mayor john goy- spoiled out some facts that should bd well understood by citizens it is not expected that anything startling will happen in 196 but it is comforting to expect a year of good steady economic progress that it he type of development that adoo can besfiise to experience any more bodmtype growth- before the present can be coped with coutdbe disastrous the need for eagleeyewatehfulness on expenditures is one that shouldbe extended not only to council members but to all those who serve on public boards actually the council finds itself with so much committed budget there is really littteleft for new pro- ects or improvement concerning expenditures loo the mayor explained that acton ratepayers each year ate contributing about 10000 a year to county hospitalization quite simply this is included in the county rate to rftake con- structlon payments to thehospitals in milton georgetown oakville and burlington even the rural citizens surroundings those centres get some value but acton was certainly the municipality that got the poor end of the deal despite the efforts of acton represen tatives at county council itis hopedthatthe georgetown or millon hospitals will prove more benaftt to acton citizens than has- been the cas during the past year actorr faces other problems on ambul ance service

wolt as in- other ridings to lay the ground work for the partys forrnal formation and its program it teams that an taction in 1961 on the fadafalfront can be classed as unlikely k than at this

giv ing the name of joshua coppersmith has been arrested in mew york for attempting to extort funds from ignorant and superstitious people by exhibiting a device which he says will convey the human

those who know of the suc cess of the latter instrument without under standing ihe principles on which it is based wellinformed people know that it is impossible to transmit the human voice over wires as may bedone with dots and dashes and signals of the morse code and that were it possible to do so the thing would be of no practical value the authorities who appre hended this criminal tre to becqngratulated and it is to be hoped that his punishment will be prompt and fitting that it may serve as an example to other conscienceless schemers who enrich themselves at the ex- pense of their
