While physician recruit- ment efforts have found several doctors for George- town, the search continues for family practitioners in Acton, which has the most acute need in Halton. Acton mourns the passing of Max MacSween, a Master Gardiner whose green thumb is evident in the planters and gardens around Acton.

By Frances Niblock Two years ago, Jesse Bonello was a little mouthy, not very respectful and un- happy with himself. Today, the 10-year-old Mil- ton boy is an award-winning cadet with the 168 Compass Rose Navy League Corps and his parents credit the Navy League program for the posi- tive changes. Hes more respectful and not just at Navy League. Hes more confident, hes more polite and hes hav- ing a lot of fun and making friends, said Rhonda Gow, Bonellos mother, before last Sundays annual inspection of the Compass Rose Corps at the Acton Legion, home to the Corps for the past year. With proud parents and brass from HQ watching, 19 Cadets showed off their skills with a drill demonstration, a communications dem- onstration that spelled out welcome and a slide show highlighting cadet events of the past year. In his remarks, Reviewing Officer Tom Grant offered congratulations and said hed watched with interest as the Corps had grown since mov- ing to the Acton Legion a year ago. Invoking the call to service made by U.S. President John Kennedy to Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country, Grant told the ca- dets thats not a bad way to live. Commanding Off icer George De Rabbie thanked the cadets parents for their support and understanding, and their help with tag day fundraising, poppy sales and for driving their children to the Legion each Wednesday night. Among the Cadets earning awards were: Chief Petty Offi cer James de Rabbie Navy League Medal Of Excel lence (awarded to one in 500 cadets for consistently outstanding achievement), Commanding Offi cers Award Petty Officer 1st Class Bonello Legion Medal of Excellence, the Navy League Badge of Merit, Executive Offi cers Award Able Cadet Rebecca Bath Esprit de Corps Award for- demonstrating pride, loyalty and responsibility, Seaman- ship Award Lieutenant (NL) Glen Wilkinson-10-year Service Medal Spit and polish at Navy inspection SPIT & POLISH: Tom Grant, the Acton Legions Sergeant -at-Arms, was the Reviewing Offi cer recently when the Compass Rose Navy League Cadet Corps held its annual inspection at the Acton Legion, which has hosted the Corps for the past year.
