winters on the way the good old days sf 44 suc store qosmg byhw again a itrga percentage of the mer chants have pretexted to council a petition requaaring the paislng of a by law restrict incj the hours retail business may be con ducted in acton the last closing by law was declared invalid in the courts apparently no change in hours is request ed from the hours now in effect through a gentlemans agreement passing of the bylaw would legalize the present agreement and no thought of prosecuting any of the stores which did not or would not sign the petition is anticipated if it is not the intention to implement the bylaw there is no reason to pais it it h sums you right once eaein ratepayers apathy in select ing the men to run their municipality for the coming year has been evidenced in the amount of interest shown m the annual nom ination meeting interest will no doubt be just as overwhelming at the polls next tues day with a turnout of a few more than fifty ratepayers at the meeting last week the in dicatlon are that only 2 4 per cent care about their town thehr tax money ancfl the future of the town on election day next week probably a few more maybe 35 per cent will troop to the polls exercising r civic duty to go back into hibernation un til the tax bills come out then they feel justified in complaining on the street corner because i went out to vote it teems the ruckus of a few years ago to preserve our great democratic freedom was just to preserve these freedoms for too sweeping every once in a while somebody n an official position proposes a new restriction on the liberty of the citizen the latest is a cor onet in hamilton qnt who noted that the identity of a murderer who had been shot and killed was not established for many hours or some days after he was shot the coroner thinks so the newspaper reported that this identity would have been establish ed if there had been a rule that all people be fingerprinted it is suggested met the restriction it too s it ought to be possible for h ordinary lawabiding cttuen to go about h private business without having ht tingav prints on file in some police station the matter of me too easy purchase of firearms is different a firearm ts danger ous weapon end it seems reasonable that me identify of a person buying r should be on photo by eathar twor would appear we now have sufficient mum ctpal by laws which are not enforced of course this is not our only objection to the by law we feel there should be no closing by law we feel that if any merchant or group of merchants is prepared to offer the pub lie a service there are no grounds for pre venting him from doing this no town is so completely isolated that it is possible to say well be open certain hours and you can shop during these hours or go without if any merchant is prepared to give customers service in acton when they want it there is no reason to stop him somebody else municipal government is probably the closest form of government to the vast mapnty of the people m canada yel we don i dare to take any interest in its function the oft heard complaint that a few of the brg wheels are running the town is pure drivel if these few citizens are inter esied enough to come forward and offer to do the pb you d better get out and help them the fact that over the years good men have come forward to adm nister the town business is not to our credit we d dn t de serve it so next week when you read that 35 per cent of the electors in acton have elected a municipal administration for 1963 you can s t beck and feel righteous because you were among the one in three ratepayers who w th a feeling of great sacrif ce exercised their democratic right and voted record somewhere after all it s illegal for drugg st for
