municipality has found it feasible to carry on with the same rate as last year but there is more than the rate for which residents here may feel very pleased the same tax rate is providing additional services to all its residents and a bouquet is due acton council for their management of the towns affairs which might be partial compensation for a few of the midnight sessions the brst snowstorm came on friday and shortly after dinner on saturday every street had been gone over with the new snow plow and cleared for traffic there was no stalling of transports to our industries and no bogging dowin in local delivery service as has been the usual case after such a storm the garbage collection system is working smooth ly under the town direction and pickups are made regularly the new truck is completely paid for and these extra services have not cost the ratepayer an additional fraction of a mill in the rates in addition all the usual municipal services have been maintained the school rates are higher and provide for improvements at the school property which have been made and are continuing to be done over a period of years acton is fortunate indeed to have these services and the services of men who give careful attention to details which have made them possible at the present rate of taxation a helpful factor is sharing the load and everyone paying their taxes promptly its your community sharing the load cheerfully will maintain it as a good community and maintain the services you enjoy but sometimes overlook v and crime grown we hear a good deal these days about the delin quency of juveniles and young folks and we have written on several occasions that we believe the blame should be shared by the parents we have on cccasion too pointed out that the courts often dealt too leniently with the culprits and placed too heavy a burden on enforcement officers- looking at some recent cases which have come under our notice we are more convinced that too often the police officer is placed more on trial than the accused and quite frequently the sentences or lack of any sentence is not in keeping with the crime in our connection with the courts as a justice or the peace some years ago we never found an enforcement officer attempting to make cases against any indivi dual but only a desire to bring law breakers to justice and suppress crime we had however num erous incidents of leniency toward the accused were not in our opinion justified and were certainly discouraging and unfair to enforcement officers it would appear that this sumo procedure con tinues and as such this attitude must tako a large share of the blame for tho increase in crime and our present juvenile delinquency we contend that point of law is not nearly as important as the just punishment and correction of an individual who is headed for a life of crime unless corrected so severely that there will bo no repetition if this present attitude continues we will find it more and more difficult to secure good enforcement officers and an incentive for crime to increase v annual boy scouts week next week once again canadas 00000 boy scouts and wolf cuba are observing their annual boy scout week from february 20 to 26 the purpose of this yearly observance is to bring to public attention the work the boy scouts association is endeavoring to do in raising op amongst us a group of citizens who are morally spiritually and physically virile perhaps never before in canadas eventful history was the task of building good citizenship more preg nant with meaning the young people of this gener ation will have to face the tremendous problems of reconstruction when the drums of war have ceased to beat theirs will be the duty to carry forward the peace and to implement the ideals of the new world laid down in the atlantic charter it will be their task to maintain a peace which is in reality a peace and not just the uneasy quiet before the dawn of another world conflagration faced with these tasks it is n paramount concern of canada that its youth be imbued with the ideals which make for peace and progress scouting here in ca in every part of the empire and in more than 40 other countries is doing more perhaps than any group outside of the chris tian church to extend the ideal of international goodwill and fellowship the boyish mind harbors no resentment because another boy has a different racial origin a different religion or a different colored skin scouts corrcs pond with scouts around the world they learn of the problems and peculiarities of other lands and what is more important they learn on just how wide a front the peoples of all isnds agree on the funda mentals which make for peace and progress boy scout week is not a money raising event it is simply a week for boy scouts with ihc aid of their good friends in the newspaper world to parade their purposes and program before the country so that people might have an opportunity to see and learn what the movement is and what it stands for summed up in the promise a scout makes on his investiture into the movement is a simple philosophy hich transcends mere nationalism or narrow denom- inationalism on my honor i promise to do my best to do my duty to god and the king to help other people at all times to obey the scout law since scouting broke out in canada back in 1003 the same year as in england some 710000 boys have passed through tho movement there can be little doubt that their scout philosophy of life their scout daily good turn their loyalty to god and country has played a

johan nesburg star that there were no re search tests which could hot be car ried out in the union today south african merino wool had been proved to be of particularly luv fibre with good tensile strength and felting power and was eminently suitable for the worsted industry it was estimated that every 100 sheep produced wool grease tlanounet worth about 1 pound 430 and sev en shillings si 55 k worth of potash salts a year about 0 per cent of that grease and almost all the pofc- ash could be recovered for both there were important industrial us clip meat oferks- he added that up to now hew by products had been lost to the country because the clip was sent oversea before washing they were now however trying to get south african washeries to recover lanollne in state in which it could be sold to manufacturing chemists the output at present was very small but it wus useful contribution in wartime potash salts were not at present being recovered for the process was ull in the experimental stage but there were big possibilities for the de velopment of a product which before the war had bccn imported mainly from germany the wool research laboratories were established about 10 years ago and their value to the wool farmer has led to great expansion the laboratories are collaborating with the directorgeneral of supply in testing army blankets made in the union and
