vaqc two the acton ftte mtess thursday october 15th lsi the tourist shoppers w wre rattier intereiled to note over the wjc end the variety of art tele th vititor o the united state brought beck to canada it apparently didn t take long for the nyy regula tioni to become known and on monday b we returned from e visit witrff riendi in the neigh bouring republic the canadian cut lorn was a busy spot the regulation which many did not realize had not been lifted was that which re quired a stay of 48 hours in the usa to bring in purchases therefore duties were being col lected at a lively rate to get back to the articles being brought in and declared for customs most every car of course had one or two cartons of cigarettes and ladies apparel seemed another of the regular items of shopping tours but almost as regular were bottles of venous kinds of intoxicating bev ereges whiskies whtch xte canadian names nd were supposedly of canadian origin were quite plentiful in the exhibits it puzzled us to know why they were being brought beck to canada tiy canadian visitors to the usa but certainly ihey were making the tour gaudy little gadgets and things for children were also prominent in the displays and it would appear that good display of merchandise found a eady market for visitors it might be also that limited funds of canadians were trying to make a good showing of quantity for tin- money they hod expended shoppers always are a conun drum and now that canadian restrictions are en ed a little it appears that pleasure buying is go ing to get ms full quota in exchange of goods on both s des of the lxrder housewife blues according lo a survey of housewives made in cntain their lot is not a happy one tiredness anxiety and depression assailed a good 79 per cent of them and all kinds of minor illnesses like coughs flat feet corns ncrvi s and head aches added to their misery women doctors who had a convention in philadelphia last month didn t come up with any especially encouraging solutions the most prac tical suggestion they could offer was that house wives everywhere would lc happier and health icr if they went barefoot and ale slept and worked on the floor with their knees crossed it may be true but think of the dire possibilities if our women here took to this as their counterparts reacted to feeps in a popular comic strip wed all have to get down on the floor with our wives mothers and sisters to avoid almost unfriendly split at mealtime we would gloat together in the absence of arthritis of the joints we recommend they begin their walking about the streets barefoot in the summer or even in the spring when they can squelch their toes in the mud the sight of blue toes on our friends and neighbours would be very upsetting and although we noncon formists we old conserva tives would feel guilty in our wool socks and shoes or snow boots our footgear is on end on it stays varicose veins or not wed much prefer our ladies to follow up the recent interest in hobbies to prevent housewife blues thar to undertake such rather extreme measures name please we were rather surprised to read that a mbnt real man was fined 25 for refusing to givehis name and address to the other party following a car accident to many this gesture seems more common sense and courtesy than an actual law actually the law is dear in its demand that in volved parties must give their name and address in writing if the other party to the accident de mands it it is well for us to be aware that we have the right to ask for a name and address and a duty to give it for it is in the minor accidents which occur fairly often around towns that one would be apt to neglect this necessary aspect thinking the sltghtness of the accident and lack of damage would not warrant it of course giving your identity is all to your own good anyone who refuses to cooperate will naturally appear guilty the extent of damage can never be ascertained perfectly at the scene of the accident and having the address of the other party involved will save later trouble there were many minor occurrences on the highways last weekend which might not even be termed accidents we saw two ourselves near town in which nobody was hurt and damage was apparently slight any one of us is apt to tun into one of these car snags anytime please pardbnusifwefind ourselvosaslant in a ditch with you one of these days and ask for your name end address well gladly give you ours sunday sports we have been asked about our stand on sunday tporls and we are only too willing to explain our viewpoint sunday wat never intend ed to be a day of boredom and gloomy piety nmvr seemed completely christian to us but neither was sunday intended to be a day of fin ancial profit which always brings with it compe tition and divided interests it is commercialized sunday sport to winch we firmly obect tennis golf or any friendly competitive games which are entered info for fun are not opposed by us charging admission on sunday to any professional or rvtn local en terprise however will inevitably prove the thin edge of the wedge which will force open many commercial concerns wo dread the thought of theatres ofen on sunday although there is noth ing objectionable atouf them on week days pest aur ants would all continue business and eventually stores would realize the profit they were losing by being closed on art open sunday ll would end in a mad race for money we te heve that it is selfish interests that might push open sunday anywhere as they did in toronto to permit a seventh day of ttte very same ruality as the other six would lw a personal as well as a group mistake a day of rest is an ab solute necessity and although those on the other side say ltt those who wont to test rest while we continue doing what wo want it would be impossible not to lx jwi pt up m the stream of continuous nervous activity and the continuous t inion of profit and loss that is charactr nsfic ot ihe six days of the present week with most industries working a five dy week there is ample spare tune for recreation whili sunday provides the limi ni i d l for calm activity and the opportunity tor religious ser vices moderation is ne dec m business as m everything else if those who live near town were coming in on sunday to attend the show or games slores and restaurants would te indue ed to stay open for the patronage it would le come a good day for taggers and canvassers and money changers a day of no rest we live in a town where we can le proud to say it is quiet on sundays we hofx personally to sec it kept that way easing travel regulations crtniduin residents ire able to obtain permits to spend any reasonable amount of u s dollars for all types of bona fide travel expenditures in the united states according to an announcement by the minister of finance the limitation on pleasure travel expenditures to 150 in a twelve month period which has been the rule since november 1947 will no longer apply a form h travel permit must still be obtained and surrendered to customs at the time of leav ing canada if a traveller is taking out of canada more than 50 in u s funds or more than a total of 100 in both us and canadian funds banks and other agents of the foreign exchange con trol board will however be authorized to ap prove form h permits for amounts up to 500 per trip for business travel and up to a total of 500 during the calendar year for travel for other purposes applications for larger amounts may be re ferred to the board and will normally be approv ed for genuine travel expenditures in any reason able amounts having regard to tho duration of the proposed journeys editorial notes thanksgiving day did not provide ideal outing weather in this locality but apparently many had gone visiting and highway traffic was unusually heavy monday s ram showed up the depressions made by sewer installations but they were ust another step towards getting them settled per manently the port credit weekly has issued a very fine edition marking the centennial of toronto town hip it contains 60 pages of historical interest is

equipment on no 25 highway and a hope renewed that pav ing will start here before winter arrives we wont even bet on the outcome of the contest between finishing the ob and the arrival ofwln- ter but
