gcutoutp9 ic spark of life in these days when every appeal to the human conscience or pocket book it loaded with drama we are prone to write them all off rather than sort the essential from the less than essential it would be disturbing if we were to ihrug olf the appeal for blood donors that will be going out next week nothing can be more accurately defined than the lifegiving and lifesaving powers of the blood that donors voluntarily con tribute we know of lives saved and health restored through the availability of an ad equate blood supply at the right time acton and area citizens are being urged to make their donation of blood that the work of life saving may continue a house-to- house canvas is part of the program to obtain at least 300 donors for the clinic on no vember 16 theprocedure in no pain anchhe total loss to those ablo to contribute is about half an hour 6f time a sufficient supply of donors keeps acton on the list of municipal ities to whose residents blood transfusions are offered free in the hospital when they aro medically required blood banks are an important adjunct to our medical resourcos npoq is sure when they may need lhelrrtjlitio high way accidents industrial accidents internal disorders any one of a number of unintend ed events can make the need for lifogivinj blood essential younger donors aro particularly noodod many of the present faithful donors will not be able to continue donating much- longer and the stream of donors must not bo allow ed to dwindle roll up your sleeve next thursday and attend the blooavdonor clinic to keep up the flow of that lifesaving blood to victims of accident and disease y requiring blood a day of remembrance saturday is a national day of remem brance we scarcely need be reminded of the significance of the day yet time does dim memory and reduce the enthusiasm that re- mombrance day may have had in years more closely following one of the great wars a brief and simple ceremony you may witness jf you attend a legion meeting at any timo symbolizes the promise of a great body of veterans to safeguard something which is of doep fundamental interest to all who have served in canadian forces the last post sounds the flags unfurl and softly softly all tho world romembers them the last post sounds the colors dip and through our hearts the memories slip of regiments and men now melancholys sombre sway is lifted by the poppies gay in wreaths upon tho conotaph in loving momory laid there is much to remember in war much that would rather be forgotten but national ly and individually on one day a year wo stop the race of activity that normally pre vails and give thanks for these who paid the supromo sacrifice to protect our freedoms our way of life our very being memories may slip back over tho signifi cant battlos like vimy ridge dday salerno ypres over the torpodoing at sea tho dog fight it the air it may be the cold wot of tho trenches the shattering ominousness of hulking tanks it may be the wail of the air raid siren the nerve wracking scream of the devastating bombs or rockets bumemones will also slip back ovor the death inavviduals and groups who boro a brunt of tire con flicts in which canadians and world forces wero ongagod saturday is remembrance day it is a day for national respect homage and thank fulness the scene will be a simple pillar of stono in a quiet setting will you remember provincial finances not that wo know anything about the uboct of provincial finances but hon j n allan provincial treasurer has issued in abridged form a resume of the financial statement of ontario for the year ending march 31 1961 while it is difficult for a layman to figure out the moaning of the masses of figures compiled by export figures some of the figures given are interesting in view of what they appear to mean to the layman aforesaid one of the important items in the ordi- nary citizens budget is the amount of his indebtedness he can pretty well control that item in the portion of his affairs which he handles himself but he has no control over the debt piled up for him by his representa tives at toronto according to mr allans re lease the net debt of the province of ontario on march last was si 71 7744jso4 taking tho population of the province as roughly six million that makes the per capita debt ap proximately 286 the head of a household can therefore add to his own acquired debt such multiple of 286 as is required by tho number of his family for example if there are ten in the family the family debt is 2060 still the province is not bankrupt since the statement of assets shows a surplus of 874036021 over the liabilities that means that each resident of ontario including baby john has approximately 145 surplus assets to apply against this 286 of uncontrolled indebtedness to which he is heir so ho is still solvent some other figures are interesting too in the sources of ordinary revenue table tho largest item is taxation which yielded 425725406 in the makeup of this amount it is noted that corporation taxes amounted to nearly 186 million and gasoline taxes to ust as nearly 157 millions the next largest item is over 37 2 millions grabbed off from tho estates of the dead other than tho items frankly listed as taxes the largest source of revenue was trading activities in other worsd the liquor business which yield ed net profits of 80600000 it might be worth noting too that in the next full year without any increase in sales the govern ment will receive an addi 2yz millions from the 3 per cent sales tax it has just added to its own business next in order comes 68 millions collect ed from motorists hunters fishers insurance trust and loan companies and theatres etc the largest ordinary departmental ex penditure for the year was tltvi millions in the department of education health was next with 88 millions picking up trouble the canadian motorist magazine asked a good question in one of its recent issues what man stands at the door of his home and hails passersby to come in and spend some hours with his family few men of course do this how would he know who ho hails the stranger what ever his appearance might be a monster with murder in his heart or a thief seeking only opportunity or a lunatic a fugitive an es caped convict who knows what manner of men walk the streets and pass our doors would you for instance expose your family to the potential dangers of such haphazard hospitality of course you wouldn t ridicu lous yet if this nption is so ridiculous os to be laughable who will explain why a man travelling alone or with his family will stop his car and offer an open door to a complete stranger whose only communication has been a raised thumb in the case of an obvious emergency there is a moral obligation to help but there is one good rule that protects the driver from possible trouble with hitchhikers don t stop the acton free press published by the
