For many • long years the situation there has been a dangerous one. Owing to costs, there never has ben sidewalks put in on either side of 'the street where it goes through the gully east •of the collegiate. For the distance of about one block, pedestrians using that street have had to walk on the street itself , This has become progressAly more dang- erous aS the enrolment of the collegiate has in- creased, When• the public school was located at the end of Princess and Rattenbury, tbe dung: ers were doubled, because. great,numbers of the primary school pupils,also use Princess Street. Inefeased prosperity has increased the number of cars being driven, on that street, as more and more 'etildents of CDCI are Ole to drive to school, On good clear days, the difficulty is not too great, but in wintertime, arid when the'paveinent 'is wet, danger to life and property is greater in that one block than in any one other spot in. fawn. The intentions this year of filling' in the shoulder, and preparing for the laying of Side- Walk in 1958, point the way to " doing the-job right. With •the shoulder completed, pedestrians will at least have some place to 'walk. Nothing should be allowed to come hi the way of this prOPosed action, OTHER SUNDAY rAPERS is • Business and Professional — Directory — From ,Early Files 40 YEARS AGO 10 YEARS' AGO Clinton News-Record • qinton' News-Record March 15, 1917 REAL ESTATE RUMOR HAS IT that anywheite from one to three Toronto „papers are planning Sunday editions. Perhaps some of you old-timers will remember 30 or, 40 .years ago when the "bad boys" of the day used to go up to the Sunday_ morning train to get their copy of "The Sunday World." the news boy must not step on the _ .platform to sell the paper but he 'could sell it from the train steps. Don't know what happened to stop pub- lication of _.The .Sunday World or the Morning World which was at one time the leading morn- ing pap& for Torontonians, but they disappeared many years ago. t BY THE TIME this item is being read, the'' national budget will have been brought &WIT by Finance Minister Walter Harris, and we will: , all know just where the taxes have been trim- \ rued, or expanded.' All indications, point to a trimmed, budget 'this year, for-in an election:year some reductions are almost always made. In the fade of this fact, however, Mr. Harris is confronted with the adVice of economists in Ottawa,' and acros,s, Canada. Thi,s expert advice is founded on the, 'fact that Canada is in the midst of an inflationary period-the third since the end of World War II, and the worstlone so far. Articles penned by some of the 'mbst in- - formed men of the country, and ,published in OPEN 'WEATHER REALLY FINE. weather again , and warm sun, are definite reminders that spring is not, too far •away. And of course,- with spring, will come hope for completion in *short order of the swimming pool 'at the community park. MIst of the small fry, and a good percentage of eir elders are looking forward to :the first dip in the pool, and the many happy hours of swimming which • will follow. Before aihof this comes -to pass, however, there will need to be 'a , good deal of work fin- ished. To do the work, money is needed. At latest report, it is understood that-some $6,000 must be 'raised this spring. Support from the entire community has been given this prbject in the past. With continued. support, and fipancial help given to any endeav- our which the committee puts in motion, the pool will be finished in time for warm weather. 40 Let's all be ready to do our part. (Financial help will be rewarded -in at least two ways: early swimming for the youngsters-- and contributions are deductible!) NO. FLEAS ON HIM '. FLEAS ARE NO PROBLEM to a smart fox. There are at least two accounts on record of how a smart fox de-fleas itself, The fox roams tI) about fields gathering old bits of animal fur, such as sheep's wool, from 'bramble patches, barbed wire fences, tall weeds, etc. Holding •the scraps of fur in its mouth; the fox trots down to a pond or river. ' At the edge of the water, the ,fox turns around and backs slowly Into the water while holding high the tip of its nose and scraps of fui. As the fox lowers its body in the water, the fleas run up- on the animal's head—and finally onto the MnIc of fur in its mouth. When the fox is completely sub- merged except for the tip of its nose, and the fleas have all taken refuge on the bit of fur, the 'fox drops the fur and swiftly clambers to shore. Canadian Scan.

This, then, should lead to no reduction in taxes, whatsoever, and possibly more surplus at 'the end of 1957 than has been ,reported at the end' of 1956. This will cause a great deal of controversy across Canada. This week we will know whether Mr. Harris has obeyed the dictates of commonsense political- ly by coming out with a real election year bud- get—reductions ifl a lot of things, or whether ;he has decided to obey the advice of -the greatest economic minds of 'the nation, and bring out a budget ,which will insure Canada's stability in the world, -GRANTS AND-TAXES CONTINUED REQUESTS by municipalities for ;.mote,,,equitabie arrangement of tax rights; has paid off in one regard at least. , Though municipalities still have no .other source .of tax revenue than from land and prop- erty,, the. province of Ontario is trying to things out somewhat.
