editor j boley memoei ul uie canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontarioquebec division of the owjul the editors corner do our ears deceive us mp john q citizen is making no bones about the fact that he s enjoying a quiet chuckle at the at tempt ot members of the government and opposition alike to either have their yearly parliamentary indem mty of 4000 per year increased or made tax exempt to the average citizen who feels himself fortunate if lie earns less than half that amount per year let alone for only a part of it the wails of the poor mps who are having to struggle along on 4000 less the income taxes which everyone else in the country has to pay fall on unsympathetic ears the maximum tax deductible from members is 1400 and of course members with children are sub- a to considerable exemption admittedly a mem ber s living expense might be high in ottawa but a man who draws 4 000 yearly in any occupation has accustomed himself to living in a fairly expensive way too when income taxes take such a slice from his sal ary he has no alternative but to lower his living stan dards to conform with his reduced income why ahoudn t the m p s do wkewao the argument was brought forward at the re cent parliamentary discus wthat such a miserly in demnity was excluding ypgth from the house and was thus making parhamenflace where only rich men could afford to sit however when election time rolls ourd we may see how many of the members still feel that their salaries are so inadequate it is not worth while running we imagine that just as in other years there will be no dearth of candidates young as well as old willing to take the places of those present mem lers who claim they cannot get along on their 4 uuu indemnity plus free railway passes in all fairness we cannot see why members of parliament should not 1 ive to pcy the same income tax as everyone else in the country into other fields sam curry editor of the tweed news has apt 1 commented that weekly journalism wjllw one of its brightest lights when andrew hebb editor of the newmarket era and express takes his new post as edi tonal writer for the ontario federation of agriculture and united farmers cooperative mr hebb who came to newmarket from the toronto star has de v th era int week lies he was successful in merging the era and the express creating a one paper town which is all new market warrants he is past president of the ontario- quebec association and has been active within various committees over the past several years his paper has been a frequent prize winner and he well deserved the honours as a friend of this writer for some years we know mr hebb with his outstanding ability will make a success of his new editorial job his successor is mr john a meyer who has been on the staff of the mon treal gazette to what sam curry has said we might add that we too have appreciated andrew hebb s abilities and have enjoyed meeting and chatting with him and his charming wife at c v n a conventions we will in deed miss tlicm at these annual get togethers but we wish them happiness and success in mr hebb s new sphere of activity arena changebacks at a recent meeting of acton council a letter v ts received from the warlini warehouse corpora tion in response to a request from the town that their arena be returned to them for the use of the citizens the arena has been used for the storage of wool stock and as a result has not been available for skating hoc key or fall fair activities the people of acton miss the rink and the excellent recreation it provided and now wish to hae the use of it again as soon as possible in their letter the warehouse coropration have agreed 0 cooperate with the town and remove their stock soon as other suitable storage space can be found we hope they are successful in finding a place before winter comes for acton much as we always disliked pdmittrag it has always been known for its good hockey teams jha hockey season just isnt the same with- fit some thrilling scrappy games with acton to spice the eerie but hockey players develop from boys who know now to handle their skates perfectly on a good toe surface the openair rink experiment proved un- mtitftktoiy not only in acton but in brampton elora and several other towns which thought their arenas could be put to better use than for skating and hockey we imagine these towns too will do their dest to get their arenas functioning again for their original pur pose no one can dispute the important part an arena plays in the fife of a small canadian town lightning needs precautions several bad electrical storms in the district re cently have prompted us to unearth some facts about lightning protection which we think everypne would be well advised to review gel under a shelter as quickly as possible the instant a storm comes up flouses barns and other buildings the bigger the better are good shelters but trees are not records show that many of the scores of hghtn ing deaths occur each year in the nation would be voided if golfers and picnickers ran for shelter as soon as they saw a storm approaching instead of waiting for it to blow over if you re riding along in a steeltopped sedan when an electrical storm develops stay in the car it s a safe place to be so far as lightning is concerned dr albert d mccann westinghouse expert proved this three years go when he sat in a sedan m a high voltage laboratory while 300000 volts of man made lightn ing bombarded the top of the car and streaked harmless ly to the ground keep away from wire fences wires of all types metal objects and pipes during a storm these metallic objects can and often do conduct electricity through their entire length endangering persons standing near by btand clear of stoves and pipes in the kitchen u liar and shun the chimney and fireplace tay away from the attic dont stand near a window or door particularly if either is open choose a place near the centre of a room in the large buildings and modern homes the danger of being hit by the lightning is slight thunder bolts strike hundreds of such structures every year but seldom harjn the occupants the tops ancj sides of buildings usually provide a good path to conduct hghtn ing to the ground mfrth prize lltter in count council contest for 1ialton we present uiis wtek the inter v ith won tilth prue in tht county c
