face two the acton free press acton ontario thuhsday pebnuany 21 lesz rural fire protection rural fire projection is something that is be ginning to cause more and more concern in the township of sections as yet unprotected milton pioneered the plan in halton county that may prove the best yet a y ire truck is stationed in hat town the municipality of milton mans and stores the fire fighting equipment and the town ships pay the cost of the equipment as yet the fire department has not arrived but esquesing trafalgar nassagawcya and nelson have all agreed to pay the costs for ser vicing part of the township the new pumper when it is delivered will be stored in milton and can be used in town in the event of a big fire this is certainly an allround advantageous plan and the idea is spreading promoted by the municipalities that are not entirely protected at the annual nomination meeting of esquesing exreeve george currie urged the township to investigate agreements with georgetown and acton for protection of the remaining portions of the township atthe last meeting of nassagawcya council a resolution was passed asking acton council to arrange a meeting with neighbouring municipali ties and the fire marshalls department regarding adequate rural fire protection sigr ruralfireprotectlon under the plan operating in milton and area is fair and reasonably priced for those receiving protection insurance rates should drop considerably ori farms where adequate fire protection is guaran teed it is not fair either that the surrounding townships should no bear some cost in providing equipment for their protection rather than ex pecting the urban municipalities to bear the brunt of all the capital expenditure and answer the call with expensive equipment leaving the town unprotected townships are developing a reasonable atti tude toward an understanding of rural fire pro tection this is indeed a welcome sign and an in telligent one since fire on a farm is almost always beyond control unless expertly handled one of the direct contributions each farm owner should make besides his share of the equipment is the installation of farm ponds acting as a reservoir this pond might in case of fire provide just the extra amount of water needed to save extensive damage on being betrayed it appears rather odd that each year the rail way association of canada takes the leadership in writing municipalities regarding the uniform adoption of daylight saving and then having taken the initiative steps aside and runs the rail- ways on s time reminds oneofthe story that used to be told about the packing house where a wise old goat was kept to lead the sheep nto the plant for slaughter and after getting the flock up to the slaughter house the goat was permitted to slep aside while the flock went on to provide meat for the market seems to be at her traitorous leadership incidentally the dale suggested for adoption of taylight savitiq lime this

suggests it would appear to be weighted on the other side labors right to join the union of its choice and to bar- gain collectively is guaranteed and labor has the right to strike so long as it keeps
