swimming pool that wa proposed in that yar at e pubjlc meeting seems to have slipped from the path of proqr4s omer community projects such as artificial ke hv been proposed but due consideration has been given o i has proposals tv money was raised for a swimming pool and should be used for that purpose enough money has been raised we under stand to instal the pool and pipes why not make that installation while the diggirg equipment is in town and the aummer heat is with us ftmlra built a swimming pool and reld three campaigns ai the construction progressed their third canvass was the most successful and easiest because people saw progress when local officials visited the imra pfort volunteers were working with enthusiasm to wards the completion of the fob one report we heard on the completion of the pool and on its second year of operation stated that over 10000 eople tiavt niatie me of the futilities ihrtt year fach year ihe mounting death toll points alarmingly to the need for more and better swim ming facilities acton citizens have epressed their desire by making inaugural donations yet there is a hold up it ii unfair to hiin mrrcilri ltrlhigi to ihe officials on the swimming pool committee be cause they are only volunteers it is possible though for u to jxjmt out that fxoplr have in vested money for the construction of a swimming pool away back in 1948 and since that time they have seen no results from that investment as kivestors they are anxiously waiting and watch ing what has turned out to be a speculation see ing no progress they are speculating other uies for that money we suggest that either the money be return ed or the work on the project be started as we see it there is no need or advantage for any fur ther delay these days certainly show the need cf a swimming pool for acton s children a treasure the national parks of canada are are of natural beauty and special mterrst that have been dedicated to the people of canada for their benefit education and enjoyment estab 1 1 shed primarily for the preservation of unspoiled natural landscape and for the protection of native wildlife they are to be maintained and made use of to as to leave them unimpaired for the en joy men t of future generations although a few parks have been devoted chiefly to the conservation of certain species of big game animals once threatened with extinc tion some contain sites memorable in the early history of canada others have been developed so that park visitors may more conveniently view the magnificent scenery and relax m the peaceful environment by progressive stages the parks have been made more easily accessible wildlife scientifical jy managed public services provided and accom modation and recreational facilities expanded a staff of experienced wardens keeps constant vigilance throughout these park areas to ensure the protection of the flora and fauna conserva tion of the forests the flowers and the natural wildlife is their chief concern in marking preserving and restoring sites of national historic importance the national parks service is advised by the historic sites and monu ments board of canada from the fortress of louisburg in nova scotia to fort prince of walts on hudson bay nine such sites are administered as national historic parks and many other places of historical importance have been suitably com me more ted the national parks of canada are part of a great national heritage and under careful ad ministration will continue as a perpetual asset undiminished by use for alt future generations come we could earn in as long hours as we were able to work we ust look childrens problems m they came along each dy and never did find out how to scientifically deal with triem the more we perused the book the mwe our ignor ne was impressed upon us now well never now what weve missed or neglected because twenty years ago parents had to raise families without trie aid of government advice or assistance if the families of today ere not just ell they should be take comfort that the next generation will be super because of pre sent government aid send and get a copy of you and your family if you haven t received cn they are as frve at all yuvrmmenl mul of well let you have our copy if you like distrust at home and abroad leek of agreement m world affairs often leads to wars which do not settle thp matter lack ol agreement in itwil hik leads tucoorl action which does not always settle the matter usually in both cases the sides just yet iired and quit tilifwj time out to el wind and mml acjim about twenty one years ago ha i ton mumci palities had an equalization court which if mom ory serves us correctly cost over 40 000 then about five years aqo an improved jvicf was t t up which would maintain equalization ok county assessment it might te an improvement but its speed is not geared to modern requirements county council memliers aqrrd ujon a more equitable distribution of rates at a recent meeting to be effective next year now we have the spectacle of burlington and oakville councils refusing to endorse the action of county council yes even going in reverse to their own memlvrs sent to county council all tins in spite of the often and loud expressions of accord ixtwccn the north and south ends of halton the actions of these two municipalities is a splendid denial of such accord it brings to mind the- actions of bur imgton a few years ago when the county coun cil was rushed into an action unfair to the other municipalities and guaranteed an issue of ixmds that municipality was selling the present action has the same odor of selfish interest we reqret that the settlement proposed by county council was not accepted we might have had some faith in the public protestations of north and south agreement we might have had some hope of county assessment eventually meeting the requirements of equal distribution of the county levy but it appears that burlington and oakville lack even faith in the judgment of their own representatives so how could those m other parts have other than feelings of distrust in view of their present actions it appears that halton county cannot settle its differences within itself thertffemains only one thing to be done to have outsiders who are un biased by selfish interests make the decision no matter what the costs fighting is always costly but we always have to exhaust our resources in a struggle first perhaps that is the reason we hung on to the privy council so long perhaps we acted rashly in disposing of the appeals there there is a dispute in haltonand in korea its a war all because men ore distrustful of each other and a bit greedy world problems begin at home back in 1900 back in 1930 jukrn ftvw a jwtt uj ths

over danger stalks the highways and streets ready to injure maim and kill children in ontario last july and august there were 436 children between the ages of five and fourteen involved in accidents twelve of them died of this former number 168 were in volved in motor accidents 151 children were in- ured or killed on foot as the result of coming from behind parked cars crossing intersections or highways or playing in the streets 1 10 child ren were injured some killed in accidents while they were riding bicycles the above figures taken for the two holiday months are appalling these accidents can be prevented in two ways firstly by the education of our little ones in how to be safe in traffic also educate the older children how to look after the little orws there are certain fundamental rules that are quite simple for children to learn with respect to automobile traffic crossing of streets end the safe use of bicycles that are quite simple for even the youngest child to grasp- teenagers can give guidance to tha younger children es pecially by setting a good example v the second way in which accidents to child ren can be prevented is by parents being eware of their responsibilities for the safety of children this awareness can increase if parents encourage children to practise and discuss safety at home parents can im upon their ch thatj citizens are safe
