recently been a document circulated through Acton which urges the reader to sign committing himself as being against the proposed drag strip east of Acton It would appear that am in a minority but 1 am a drag racing enthusiast and thoroughly enjoy what is probably Canada fastest growing sport I feet it would bo an error to close this endeavour in its infancy as most arguments against it ore based on conjecture There will be problems but am certain that these can be dealt with without a great expenditure of tunc and money 1 fail to see how this could prove detrimental to Acton In fact in the final analysis it should at least increase sales in some tire chains or 0 outlet Any man who can assemble a machine which can hurtle through a quarter mile distance in under eight seconds and reach speeds in excess of two hundred mites per hour is far from a vandal The crowds are the same calibre as those which attend other spectator spurts excepting perhaps those who attend chess and ping pong games I can however sympathize with any poor soul who has the unfortunate blessing of residing Boy charged On Friday about Miss saw a boy helping himself to money in iter small shop on Willow St She informed police and as a result two juveniles aged and IS and a 16yearold boy were charged with theft beside one as he sound of throbbing unmufflcd engines is not the average housewife idea of good music The property value of adjoining land will drop but a speculative buyer would surely realize that when Acton reaches rural Ballinafad the strip will be obliged to close I cannot name one urban
