zdtfoalpfz indian summer minstrels a hit the history of minstrel shows in acton has always been a food one and although 18 years have paisedafnce the last we re member a new gerjeion hat produced one that continues that fine history for three nights the robert little school auditorium echoed to the laughter produced by the end men and cast of the acton lions club minstrel show its good to tee that a cast of so car till be assembled convinced they should devote lime in varying degrees to an am azing number of tasks ust to stage three rilgnls of entertainment obviously the lions club had the motive of making money to assist in their varied program of community service we will be willing to predict though that they claimed a number of byproductt e suitable facilities as announced in the legislature novem ber 23 by the honourable w a goodfellow minister of highways the government has decided on a policy regarding the establish- rrtant of tervlce facilities on highway 401 while the details of this policy are still being worked on the minister stated that plans are being prepared to establish service areas at six or seven strategic points between london and marysville 14 miles east of belleville so that motorists can obtain the essential services required for their com fort end safety the minister slated that the construction of these areas will be proceed ed with es soon as possible and that during the construction period it is planned to have temporary facilities available to provide the motorists with their essential requirements the necessity of service facilities has been clearly evident to those who have been driving some of the longer open stretches of the highway failure of any part of the car through lack of gas or any other cause can become quite serious weve heard of people climbing farm fonces and heading toward the only light visible to seek aid an accident with no tele phone available conveniently to summon aid is equally a difficult situation the new york throughway has restaurant and service rations convoniently located that provide an opportunity to stop and at least a series of lights to break the road monotony that can develop on a long trip were pleased to know that a policy is being developed on 401 that may lead to the provision of suitable facilities campaign time is seven days long enough for candidates to present their wares to the electors does it give voters time to hear the candidates mull over the views and make up their minds those who drew up the municipal act fait it was the shortest permissible time nomination meetings must be held not less than seven days prlono election day jhe maximum length of time between nominations and election is also set down in the act six weeks each municipality is at liberty to decide itself the nomination and election dates it wants between nov is and jan 2 the time interval allows for one thing meetings to be held with an invitation to candidates to come and present their plat- forms if you exclude election day and the sunday which is bound to be present in a sovenday interval there aront too many days left for campaigning in most districts various organizations would already have activities planned for that week and it becomes difficult for those interested to find a time free for a political meeting it is not only important that we get out and vote it is equally important that we know for whom tnd for what we ere voting the ways to find out of course arc to meet the candidates personally if possible and to hear them speak much can be learn ed by reading of their activities in the papers but that cant take the place of personal pb- servation its easier to udge the whole man if we see him and listen to him leaving too short an interval between nominations and election day means run ning the risk of electors voting blind sins of the fathers most of the worlds troubles today have their roots in history to take only one ex ample the division of germany with the isolation of berlin in the midst of commun ist territory was possible because president franklin d roosevelt and his successor presi dent harry truman wore more ready to agree with stalin than with churchill there had been few causes of conflict between the united states and russia but united states history since 1776 hod been fairly based on resistance to britain and it would have been unrealistic to expect a statesman from that country to forger overnight all he had learned true or false about perfidious albion this is not to say that the british have always been correct in their dealings with the united states or other nations in the british diplomacy was inclined to favor the south and came close to recognizing the confederacy as a legitimate government in spite of the alabama claims in favor of the states the official british attitude at that time has never been wholly forgiven now that the united stales has succeed ed to britain s place as the leading western power assuming responsibilities all over the globe she may be expected to realize how the sins of the fathers can be visited on the children foreign aid to underde veloped countries seems to be winning her as few friends as britain gained when she was painting a good part of the world map red the sincere good will of those who are trying to help the impoverished and backward to improve their lot is met with suspicion and remembrtincc of exploitations of the past unfortunately the maintenance of order in the world has to be the responsibility of one of the powerful nations the choice now that britain can no longer afford to assume the task is between russia and the united states it is certain that the united states will receive little gratitude from the people she helps but she will earn the re spect of the rest of the world for her effort whether or not it is successful in the long run future generations may find there is justice in visiting the virtues of the fathers as well as their sins upon their children in lighter vein the big dog licked the child s face and the youngster screamed did he bite you asked the dog s own er no sobbed the child but he tasted me i husband that

enthusiasm new mem- r and new strength as well as a lot of fun produced by the many rehearsals before television the production of am ateur entertainment was not a novel ap proach to raising funds then someone dis covered it was considerably less work to sell some draw tickets and probably raise ust as much after the constant inundation of tickets perhaps the cycle is complete and renewed interest will be sparked in the pro duction of amateur shows where every ticket carries a real value rathor than a chance toihe dlroctors through the entire calf and those who served in the many minor but necessary tasks considerable praise is due we hope probably like a lot of others that there will be future appearances tinrv v ta p mj l ra y havf r v tlmm rty fruitier lun suytvt utd sfuce by
