paox two the acton free press acton ontario tiiukhday july 10ll ibm il euction promises every promlss of government aid should be accompanied by a price tag says the financial pott thore would be a good deal less enthusiasm for some of these fancy plans to spend public money if the taxpayer knew in advance just what they would cost politicians dont need to worry about holding the attention of their audience people are al ways interested in prices when candidates pro claim if im elected you poople are going to got a new post office wharf highway or a boost in baby bonus they should be requirod to add and that will cost you so many dollars in now taxes for the rest of your lives one of the reasons for high taxation in all fields is undoubtedly the fact that peoplo havo been led to believe that some one else provides the money there is only one source for govern ment funds and that is from your pocjtetbook if you think governments can look after your money better than you can yourself then con tinue to elect those who give the glib promises but its time the whole truth was revealed to the point we dont often comment in our editorial columns on subjects that may appear in our ad vertising columns but a series of messages from the steel company of canada which have been appearing in the weekly newspapers of ontario have had some very sound reasoning that has caught our attention and been the subject of com ment of tome of our readers they are not advertising steel but are aimed at giving canadians a better understanding of the economic forces which govern our way of life folks are wondering where it will all end we have strikes and threats of strikes despite falling retail prices falling production and the highest industrial wages in our history the couple who are in search of a home or living quarters find the heme priced beyond their means even the high vages they earn cannot keep pace with the in flated prices that are asked its time that we considered production in relation to cur costs and the messages of the steel company that have appeared and are appearing currently are concise and sound hitching posts sorry it e do a bit of recollecting m our writing theie das but ms is me time of year known as dog days an expression of whose origin we naven t the slightest idea but of which we know the meaning days when theres noth ing doing that requires much attention or com ment but as we looked at the lines of cars in the business section cf town we just couldn t help but recall tre old hitching posts the stores with sub stantial wooden canopies and the shade trees that made even the business section so cool looking inviting and conducive to some leisure we wrote about grandma last week so may be its grandpas turn this week our recollection is thjjt the horse and buggy or the democrat used for conveyance by grandpa took up much more space than our present day cars most stores fcund one hitching post was enough fo custom ers and there was no parking problem of course in grandpas daytke merchants ciidnt hitch up to go down to business and there were the church apd hotel sheds for parking facilities when the visits in town were lengthy grandapa didnt mmd walking a few blocks and carrying parcels over to the vehicle he was accustomed to walk ing most every place many of you folks will remember those wooden hitching posts and how the impatient horses left tied to them too long had the wood badly scarred they reminded grandpa when he had tarried too long in the shade of a store veran dah but nobody considered using iron posts maybe it the heat that started us thinking about shade trees store verandahs and hitching posts no we dont want to go back to those days and we jike our business section as it is at present in those days acton was never aone horse town and a look at the business section shows its not a onecar town in these modern times but we cant help but sort of envy the more leisurely trips of grandpa to town to do shopping and the hone sense that prevailed in telling him when to qo home hats off to the ladies women have often been reprimanded for not taking a more active part in municipal affairs it came to our attention as we attended the official dedication ceremony of halton centennial manor on sunday that the women havo been working in many ways just as effectively as some of our municipal officers who give considerable time to their positions it was tho halton womens institutes that camo particularly to our attention ovon though we realize thore are many other womens organiza tions which aro also contributing to the better ment of our communities ladies of iho ftaffon womens institutes wore on hand sunday strate gically located to explain to tho many visitors tho rooms and accommodations of the manor not only were they taking a major part in tho success of ihe tour but the ladios of tho organiza tion had also raisod money to provide some of the additional comforts for tho manor such as combination radiorecord players wed like to take our hats off to those ladies who are making a definite contribution to their communities and to the other ladios in tho other organizations who ire working quietly to goals just as necessary the good old days may have seemed better plan ophellal wont you ever gat used to this machine age back in 1902 vrega of thuydav julv 10 im2 n orth e ast west s outh accomplishments or talk every town has a sprinkling of those fellows who stand about on the streets and ridicule the folks who are doing things and draw attention to mistakes everyone indulges a little in such prac tice on public affairs and if the criticism is backed up by constructive helpfulness it is well for the cause of democracy and community betterment but the fellow who is practically useless to the community is that chap who criticizes only and never does anything to advance his day or gene ration usually if youll examine that individual and his past record of life youll find his accomp lishments have been neglible and often his pri vate life unsuccessful its an old but true saying that the man who never does anything never makes a mistake history proves that the great of the past who made great accomplishments al so made mistakes it is well that in later years we remember and glorify their great deeds which led tc their greatness and forget their failures no doubt youve heard the story before but it will bear repeating an expert in business analy sis and efficiency was endeavoring to sell his services to a hardboiled and not so young busi ness man he
