ATBEY - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1947 TAX RATE STRUCK AT 55 MILLS erRatepayers of Clinton were expecting a big jump in the tax rate for 1947, figuring that the sewer - age project would occasion •a pretty large boost. (Guesses on the street ranged, all the way up to 20 mills over the 1946 rate of 45 mills. But when all the estimates were in and ,the chips were dawn, Town Counncil Monday night was able to arrive at an even 55 -twill rate, including, of course, the Ontario Government one -mill subsidy which is paid each year. This higher, but lower-than-expeet'ecl rape, was achieved through paring everything to the bone, anticipat- ing a, ,programme of rigid economy, and taking advantage of revenue approximating seven mills, that not likely will be available next year. It was rather fortunate that Council was able to bank on a $3,000 rebate from the Public Utilities Com- missien frown the surplus earnings of the Waterworks Department, and about $4,000 in interest on Dominion of Canada bonds purchased a few months ago from the proceeds of the sale of the sewerage •debentures. These funds, of course, have not all been expended pending com- pieti.on of the project. And despite tihe heavy drain on the town's finances, Council also wags 'ache to provide for the usual grants and make a special grant of $2,000 toward the construction of a new wing to Clinton Public Hospitall, the latter having been provided for in the 1946 estimates. Several towns have lbeen forced to inerease their tax rates for 1947, among them Kincardine, with a 'six - mill increase to 52 mills. So that, everything considered, perhaps the ratepayers of Clinton may consider themselves forstunate that the increase was not greater than ten mills an this year of grace. Hut there is no doubt but that rigid economy will have to be more than an empty phrase. if the Town Council is going to stay within its estimates for 1947. We hope things have not been cut too fine. 0 0 0 ANOTHER WAR TO FIGHT! canada is fighting again ... fighting a war against a grim killer that tapes the lives of 14,000 Canadians every year . . , men, women and children. The killer is cancer. During World War II, 40,000 Canads'ane gave their lives in the cause of freedom, and yet, over the same period, 83,000 Canadian's died of cancer! Cancer is no respecter of persona, of age or sex. It invades the 'homes of wealthy and poor alike, striking down the bread- winner, the mother, the child. Young and old are victims. Cancer kills 39 Canadians every day. Let us face the facts: One out of every three perisons twig cancer may be saved if treated in time. Fear keeps many people away from their doctor until it is too late; ignorance plays its vicious part too, in the mounting toll of cancer victians. The Ontario Brandin of the Canadian Cancer Society is fighting ignorance and fear of cancer by conducting a membership drive froan April 1 to 30, inclusive. Member- ships are a dollar each. The Society's objective is "A Toronto, and a membership card will he mailed to you directly. It will entitle you to receive up-to-date i'nfor- : mattion about treatments for canner, with instructions about symptoms of tihe dread disease. He on the 'alert.

O © 0 The visit of Sir Andrew Jones, head of the British Food Mission in Canada, to Clinton to address a large gathering of farmers and 4ownspeop'le, was an event of eor siderable importance. His address, reported in another column, was most enlightening, and indicated the problems confronting the people of the United Kingdom in their struggle for existence.
