the ontarioquebec division of the gwjna novel budget balancing suggestion by mayor armstrong that council balance its road budget by issuing de bentures for sidewalk improvements already made is not exactly orthodox financing we can sympathize with council for wish ing to give taxpayers the best possible ser- yice and in this case we cannot disagree too ejpphatically for sidewalk repairs are certainly necessary but it is setting a dangerous prece dent the time for consideration of the years expenditures is in the first three months of the year before the tax rate was struck in 1953 a share of the 20000 road budget was earmarked for sidewalks and this has been considerably overspent there wont be many wkere is decentralization with so much talk during the war about decentralizing industry it is alarming to see how far we have got away from this policy perhaps it is heresy for one who lives in this mushrooming industrial area to say so but canada as a nation and ontario as a prov ince would be much better off if big industry adopted a policy of creating smaller plants in more isolated places the torontohamiltonguelph area as was pointed out in days when we were more conscious of enemy bombs is a vulnerable target for attack it could be an unpleasant experience for the many thousands who are pot pourri returning to town after living in the city since he was a young man a g mcdonald has built a home on main street north near the walter hyde residence mr and mrs mc donald moved into the house last week new man in barragers cleaning plant is norm hiadysh a relative of wally mozil who came here from hamilton norm and his wife are staying with the mozils until they find a place to live harold robson formerly employed with barragers is now working at the new ford plant at oakville serves us right if we get a blast from jessie alexander after correcting a wedding account and explaining that the original word meant wrinkled or crea sed we ended by using the wrong word all over again darent repeat the words this week in case we make another similar error and for the record we are told that an edi torial statement could be misconstrued last week we meant to say that the two old parties arent adverse to swiping some ideas from ccf and social credit an invitation extended to georgetown council to attend a reception for george drew next week in bur lington led to some good natured pleasantries who will argue that money was wasted for we have good concrete results but if a bud get is to be any use at all it must be adhered to wherever possible and if overspending has occurred coun cil must either be willing to present a deficit report to taxpayers at the end of the year or to curtail other expenses to make up the defi cit there are so many major things which must be achieved by debentures that council should use caution- in making debentures an alternative for payasyougo corporations like individuals can get into trouble if their appetite is bigger than their capacity to pay crowding into this district but even more im portant destruction of this area could crippe canadas economy very effectively and in cidental but also economically important we are covering up some of the countrys finest farmland with factories and homes how much better it would be if factories spread out into more remote regions small branches in towns in the northern and eastern sections built on unfertile land would be so much more satisfactory from every aspect political party leaders are missing a bet in not incorporating this type of thinking into their party policy about whether ccf candidate stan allen who is a council member would honour the invitation stan was out politicking himself that night and wasnt available for comment at the meeting t a summer job for george mcclure who hopes to enter rmc this fall ended abruptly on wednesday when he in jured his hand in a machine at the provincial mill luckily the injury will not be of a per manent nature but it was a nasty accident and will take some time to get over mrs jim russell likes england so well she is taking an other trip this time mr russell is going along too and they expect to stay until sep tember or possibly longer a vacation at penetang had an unpleasant ending for grah am farnell who contracted chicken pox and will now be vacationing at home for another
