Dairy cattle were light and prices steady. This is not really so. Their decisions must be made on what is best for the community as a wholeâ€"if their decisions are not so arrived at, then they are not worth their salt and should be replaced. Politicians that bow to the whims of those concerned only with their own little corner should be replaced without delay for they stifle the growth of a community. However, objections should not be made until it can be shown that the reason for objecting is in the best interest of the community as a whole. and not for just one small section. We are all faced with cityâ€"sponsored actions that sometimes feel that we are being imposed upon, and undue hardships are placed upon us by unâ€" feeling politicians. Another government body, the Ontario Water Reâ€" ources Commission, told this community that it would ave to make an expensive addition to the sewage treatâ€" ~ rent plant. Theseé government bodies do not ask that a community :0 these things, they tell them. Now, they are experiâ€" ncing difficulties. They suggest a move to their benefit, vith little regard for the benefit of the community. The Reedâ€"Voorhees traffic report will soon be given a complete study, but its implementation will be done over a number of years. Citizens who have an objection are well advised to keep close track of any actions concern:> ing this report, so that they can make their objections known at the proper time. This will certainly assure that the ordinary citizen will not be faced with signs saying elect soâ€"andâ€"so some six or eight months after an election has been held. Political candidates and their helpers have no one but themselves to blame for this move, because too often they allowed signs to stay where posted until the elements finally did the job for them. Now that it has been decided (subject to ratification next Monday) that the city will not allow signs to be nlaced on posts around town, candidates seeking a seat on council, school boards, etc., will have to make arâ€" rangements with stores and private citizens if they exâ€" pect to have posters placed. However, bureaucracy being what it it, it is likely that the department will go right ahead with their own plans, «low down construction to suit their whims, again with» out regard for the feelings of the community involved. Perhaps, when the communities tell them no, the powâ€" â€"rs that be may realize that concessions must be made from both sides if equitable and reciprocal actions are expected. Earlier, when Waterloo raised a cry and expressed :oncern about the rising costs of the expressway, the department told them they had upgraded. They offered no suggestion as to how this community could raise the xtra costs without undue hardship. Neither did the minâ€" ster of highways. As Ald. Alviano has saidâ€"the shoe is now on the other foot. The department of highways, we have learnâ€" ed through Mr. Dutton, is experiencing some financial difficulties and has suggested that a slowdown a setting back one year of the target date to complete the Conesâ€" toga Parkway.

Editorial Comment The law was also very strict concerning gum and candy maâ€" chines which were never allowâ€" ed Jleft outside over Sunday. In fact, in some communities, only religious music was allowed Most merchants had large winâ€" dow shades which were then drawn, prohibiting even an opporâ€" tunity to windowâ€"shop. It was also understood that the bar rooms in hotels were of course closed. In case of fire, all the hotels had to have more than one entâ€" rance or exit. and to be within the law, the back door was left open. So were the back doors of the ice cream parlors and tobacco stores. By FRED SHINN Sixty to seventy years ago the Lord‘s Day Alliance was very strict. _ All â€" confectionary, _ ice cream parlors and tobacco stores had to be closed for business, on a Sunday.
