accumulated from local assessor offlcas acrou the county flfl- lure have a way of flettlng paued over however and after the basic task of all the effort is met equalization of the county rate fhe figure go into many files we found the population figure particularly interesting itftla year be came the- interpret the county ctm plexlbn of youth and age like any et of figure the coloring they get dra- mtlclly affect their undehthdjngj for instance yoo an y o per cent of the population i under 20 year of age or youvan beck it a llriiedlffer- enl by ayfng over 6 per cent of the population j over 20 with that qualification we took a look at the population figure by mun icipalise and it i surprising how the percentage on age run d uniformly scroti the county for example the under 20 age bracket by municipalities goe like thlti acton 40 per cent bur lington 44 per cent georgetown 40 per cent milton 41 per cent oakvllle 42 per cent esqueslng 44 per cent and nauagaweya 41 per cent it ha often been ald how difficult it i to keep young people oh the farm and while they may not be farming there a healthy under20 population in the two rural townships at the other end of the cale the 70 and over bracket there are 5237 in halton of thote milton had 261 acton 22s georgetown 401 esqueslng 337 and nauagaweya 125 taking the unofficial designation for a senior citizen a being over 60 year of age youll find acton with 511 burlington with 4551 georgetown with 819 milton with 591 oakvllle with 3602 equetlng 719 and na- tagawaya with 2b0 that represent e little better than 12 per cent of the county population in case you want fo do your own figuring the following are the popula tion of the various municlpaljtlei ac- ion 4429 burlington 71643 george town 12617 milton 6421 oakvllle 542 5 esqueslng 8037 and nassage- weye 2894 for the total of v 6025 there are alto tome in institution that have nbl been included in the above figure these would include thote m hospital or manor at the- time- of the september return of the assess ment roll just 0 they arent over looked there were 138 in burlington ix in georgetown 249 in milton and 1003 in oakvllle that give a final population total of 161652 the total astonishes ut because it doesnt teem that many year ago when county population total were being quoted in the 40000 range the figure prove conclusively that burlington ha by far the largest pop ulation at 71643 compared with oak villa 54215 burlington assessment is top too at j1541470i0 to oak vllle 149475206 but in the taxable acreage oakvllle lead with 63556 acre to burlington 48546 so which municipality i really the biggest de pends on what figure you use jfttt jutitss editorial pagm mmmmmmrtmmmmmmmmmmmimmmtiil premature death hctice george wlldman ball the new

standards of thote in wett virginia the tennessee hill country and numerous other areas quite aside from whether it would be pleasant to become part of a nation involved in conflicts we dont covet it i extremely doubtful if the union would be profitable for canadians it is interesting and significant that in the present and in recent decades no canadian voices of tlgnlflcance have been advocating political union com- ylsejclet tinton currency union or any- wo of that kind it i interesting and perhaps significant that 75 year ago when canada was relatively much wea ker than now the canadian spokesman for u s canadian union were numer ous extremely vocal and very respect able the financial post makes this com ment for those who think there is a place in the world for small natloni and who
