the acton fre6 press acton ontario thursday april llrd 1h ihasng bttwn tfc umi guss negatives from turn of century provide new feature being in step on sunajay morning very arly we ore khvdum to go on dyllgh1 saving tlnrw there may fee tatjofjcoiifyjai ftasiett way to meet the change it to have unt- formity its regrettable that the railway tcheduloi cannot be changed and then all confusion to far as we are concerned would be eliminated not being familiar with railway matters we have no idea of what a change to daylight saving lime would involve or how many would be incon venienced by such a move there was a time not so many years ago when daylight saving time was a big issue among com munities and even tn the communities themselves every spring two wars and a few power short ages and most important of all a realization by ell that uniformity in time was desirous for every one have all played a pari in making the transi tion periods less painful and quite uniform we wont argue whether daylight saving is good or bad like most olhers we find a bit of difficulty in making adustments from one time to enother but we do iciow that uniformity is de sirable and best for all so on saturday night for get about standard time until next september and put your clocks ahead an hour once in 100 years hatton county will this year mark its centen nial according to reports of county counciltrtat is all that will be doneust mark the 100th an niversary it is claimed it should have been done last year we concur in part the arrangements for the centennial of halton should have been started last year or a year ahead of when any celebration was going to be held yes halton is getting olda hundred years eld this year but we had no idea that the folks that make up the populaton of the county were so old that such an important event would go without some recognition surely out of the 40000 people who live in the towns and town ships of this county there are enough who could organize a fitting event to mark the centennial there were enough in nassagaweya township a few years ago to carry to a very successful con elusion an event marking 100 years of that town ship s organization and nassagaweya is the smallest township in the county too in point of population its been done m other counties with some success brampton and barne are towns which this year will hold centennials haldimand county had a very successful centennial a few years ago its a known fact that such events are not money makers and quite often require municipal assist ence to put on a successful show but is a lot of carnival and ballyhoo necessary to make a reun ion of haltonians on the centennial of the county a success surely there is still some way in which halton county can mark its centennial this year surely age has not dimmed the initiative and spirit of all of the 40000 folks of the county centennials only come every 100 years and it seems too bad to pass up the first one willing to give some ideas but moil of the park log meters in use today are merely another levy on the motorist and a mount of municipal rev eriue ikense fee duva feci insur gasoline tax of nearly a third the total cost of the fuel are piled high until the motorist can scarcely discern through the windshield a parking meter from a fire plug its time tome of the revenue was de voted to solving tome of the motorists problems the springs and shocks wont stand the load much longer a balancing act where the batls of assessments are revised as they have been throughout halton it should be taken into contideralicm whon the mill rate is established too often this point is forgotten and the setting of the rate is on the basis of the mi set for the previous year there h only one thing that the average taxpayer needs to take into con sideration that is the amount of money he must pay in taxes each year and the services he has asked for and received for his contribution with all the changes that have been made over the past few years in assessments the ave rage citizen may well be confused we believe that even those who serve in municipal office may be excused loo if they fail to keep up with elmhechanges olassessmenl figuiesthajve4k p inhaltoncounty the past few- ears they are becoming as ununderstandable as the tariff issues which the politicians used to put forth many years ago and expound at some length and an ever decreasing clarity lots of us con remember municipal tax rates of 20 mills and assessments on properties about a quarter of what the same buildings are today many of us can also remember the meagre ser vices that this levy provided compared with to day we did a lot of things for ourselves under the 20 milt rates that we now have provided by the municipality but the point that is all important in all taxa hon and particularly in municipal levies is the amount of money you pay for the service you get mills and assessments however need to have careful oversight by councils when assessments are raised there should be a subsequent reduction in the mills required if the taxpayers pocket is to be kept in balance using the apace nt imi feature

2800 american cities haul ed tn a total of 76 millions last year we dont know what the canadian revenue is from these hitching posts but it must be considerable of course they are never popular and we doubt if parking meters do much toward solving the park ing problem we sincerely hope they never come to our town because of the bad public relations they make with those who use them this is es pecially true where the machines do not operate properly and we find many of them are in bad mechanical condition after a short period of use parking meters are just license permits to use the streets which have already been paid for from public funds what we would like to know is what part of the millions collected from the met ers is used to solve the parking problem last year the city of edmonton collected 123 000 from metprs and put nearly 100 000 into trying to solve parking problems we wonder if any of the other towns and cities where meters are used devote any of the revenue

clubs play an important part in any community which is sometimes overlooked there ate always so many things that do not come with in the scope of dther organizations and it seems that the service clubs are always willing to step in and give attention to these things the fellows who are in them seem to get a lot of kick out of doing the service work too that came to our attention when we met with acton ys mens club and the visitors from other clubs in acton this week you ii find fellows in rotary who are busy sometimes out selling pea nuts in their spare time when all week they have much larger business transections and responsi bilities it just seems that when the call comes for community assistance the service clubs can never turn a deaf ear to the appeal there are plenty of other citizens outside of service clubs who carry a big load of community service but service clubs with their regular meet mgs and continuous memberships seem always ready to step in and help in any emergency and initiate projects of their own more and more each day communities throughout the world are forming new clubs and most every town of any size has at least one of them with an active membership such a tremen dous growth of these ocganizattons could be a great factor in continuing peace of the world ultimately through the enjb s activities men learn more about their international neighbors and with knowledge comes understanding eventually un less the present rate of growth declines sharply these dub members will break down existing bar ners to promote greater goodwill and good
