these comments to republish these items would seem perhaps to be flattering our selves and might tend to turn our own head so wc will refrain from passing the comments on to our readers until later years when wc are more staid in journalistic years every one of them is none the less appreciated however the unceasing activity of the toronto police in jahcrrio oruinc ontinncvoa toii rnhh andj j 2 i 3gb what imp region do we create generally when we tracl from home if obser vant at all one can nlwas hnd little things about other towns passed through iat detract from the town or add to the impression you receive on passing through sometimes these facts arc never noticed to be lacking in our own town until we notice how they detract from the other places last week in a motor trip to killarncy beach wc passed through numerous small villages it was new territory to us and wc wore naturally interested in knowing the names of the communities in many cases it was difficult to discover their identity and they were passed by as a no place and yet we imagine that iiorbiecttizen of these places tiut what was proud of ins home town and would have been delighted to explain all about its advantages aftef noticing the lack of little things in other places we got to thinking about acton since the cement highway has been constructed east of town the sign board that used to be oh the eastern entrance of the highway is missing and only a small highway sign is constructpd at both the highway entrances it is perhaps sufficient to tell the stranger what town he ib in but wc received a much better impression of the communities which had individuality enough to erect signs with a char- actor to them that portrayed the artistic touch of some one in the town or village it may be that the highway department does not approve of these lufded signs by the municipality and prefers the small neat sign placed by their officers but those other signs do stamp individuality on the community to the stranger passing through wonder what the other fellow thinks of us when he finds them missing in this town jv j f i h ib htf m 1 i r jiforts have been the cousc of deservedly fnvornble on w nun

way to publish evtry item known without thought or super vision but it ih the deletion of the sordid and un seemly and the constant thought always in mind for the welfare of the community nt large and not individually that makes the newspaper a real power for its constituency s a good ijnndtcap for milton as has been the custom for years the county council made its annual grants to the fall fairs and on the same basis as has been used tor years acton burlmgtonand georgetown each received 75 00 while milton was donated four times as much as any one fair 300 this of course will be claimed because milton is a county fair but like many other claims this belongs to the long ago and needs re vision acton 1 air and we believe the other fairs are m the same category is open for exhibitors from the whole county in all branches just as much as milton tair is in no respect i milton tair any more representative of the whole county tlinn nny one of these others fairs other than the fact that milton is the county seat for the most part officers and directors art- residents of the immediate vicinity of milton just as any of the other fairs draw their stauuehest supporters trom the country immediately adjacent tune was we suppose when matters were different nnd the township fairs were open only to the township exhibitors and the county fair was open to the county nt huge but that tti has passed nnd the grants have not heen revised in accordance with the rules fovurntng- iiilhc exhitn tions the county rate is cqualicd and the burden of taxes falls on the shoulders uf all in equal propor tions is it not time that should share m equalnu tion on count grants oi at least on the h is m which they contribute to the county exchequer milton lias a plcndid fair but so has acton and georgetown und burlington and each of the latter three are handicapped by 22s less m u county grant than thaj of milton in nil fairness the grunts should be more equally divided und the common treasury not used to promote one centre more than another we dont blame milton for taking the bij grant but we do thmk there is a laxity in apportioning jie giunts that the equalisation has uotbecu madz oiiie years ago out of fairness to all the county it liould not be continued further in these propor tions lapping off another hmnch the action of sir henry drayton in seizing the liquor stock stored at the border will commend itself to all true advocates or temperance the brewers and distillersnre the worst type of the bootlegging fraternity and their disregard of all law and decency the ciiiisc of nil prohibitory measures that have had to be enacted sir henry las fnund their docks to be a menace to the proper enforcement of the law and his job is enforcement of the liquor control
