OUR READERS WRITE Opposes Mohawk Sunday racing To Council Township Attention Editor Acton Free Press Canadian Champion Madam Reeve Members of On Sunday July my wife received a phone call on behalf of the Jockey Club It seems a survey Is being conducted to ascertain the feelings of people In towards Sunday racing at the Mohawk The caller told my wife that many people In the area are for Sunday racing In the short time available to me I called several people before I went off to work My finding proved exactly the opposite My views on Sunday racing at the Mohawk are I think well known but I will take the liberty of refreshing your memories I couldn care less how a person spends his money or lesulre time but Sunday In particularly on the 15 Side Road is a day when church goers bird watchers artists and sometimes park by the side of the road often on the hills and bends Sport car test their skills on our beautiful winding and undulating roads Sunday race traffic would certainly bring chaos to our roads When the race track Is In operation one takes his life Into his hands trying to avoid hellbent for leather to be In time for the first race When the track leaves these same characters once clear of the OPP In the Immediate vicinity of the track can be seen two and three abreast high beams on hell bent for home possibly Inwardly fortfled from a little elbow bending There la a gimmick being used in this survey Sunday racing will be a Family Day I strongly object to a Family Day theme In my opinion people learn to gamble soon enough without being Indoctrinated to the habit In their formative years I hope council will not accept as a fact the results of this survey and demand the names of the people who favour this Sunday tlvlty I also hope Council will give those in opposition time to raise petitions against Sunday and I further hope the names of those for and against are residents of You will notice I have not mentioned the Lord Day Observance Act and that I do not I hope this letter will be the fore runner of many you receive from other concerned people church leaders etc etc Acton has own air pollution laws Gentlemen After reading the article Turn down purchase offer Industrial land in The Acton Free Press of July I was astonished about the statement made In connection with the airpollution In this piece of news Assuming the writer was misinformed I will not hold your newspaper responsible for giving Oref Industries Company Limited a bad name I would be most pleased to see this letter printed In your neit edition In order to Inform the public of our Rood intentions In the offer to purchase to the town of Acton you will find the following statement The Parties agree that the Corporation of the Town of Acton shall not be obliged to issue a building permit until such time as the Purchaser shall have obtained and presented to the Town a letter from the Air Management branch of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources approving the odor control plans and specifications of the Purchaser and the Purchaser covenants that his proposed building will be built In conformance with said approved plans The only point Industries could not agree upon was a promise to control odors to the satisfaction of Council To my knowledge Acton is the first town In Canada which is not recognizing the provincial laws about air pollutlonn as being sufficient for their town Secondly It must be a poor mind who would suggest a Company sign to the fact that they will obey laws of Hie Town of Acton which are as yet not in existence Nevertheless I would like to use this opportunity to express our gratitude to the members of council and the Industrial Committee for the speedy service we received and for their willingness to offer of their own free time on our behalf A special thank you Is due to Paul Nellscn for his way of handling this matter Peter Vice President Industries Company Ltd SPIN growshelp sought Dear Editor The friends or
